Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Man, I put a good 20 hours into that game and the gameplay loop just wasn’t for me.

Even if I don’t have time to play them, I still find myself buying them.

Is this your first time going through Remake? It’s one of my favorite modern games (mostly for the nostalgia, but I also really enjoyed the combat).

lol, I read this before I watched the trailer and it’s spot on

Love some Minecraft. It’s just digital Legos

Looks dope!

Game scared the shit out of me as a kid

The multiplayer was actually fun too back in the day. Truly a masterpiece.

One of the people briefed on the situation, a consultant advising the United States on encryption matters, said Apple would be barred from warning its users that its most advanced encryption no longer provided full security. The person deemed it shocking that the U.K. government was demanding Apple’s help to spy on non-British users without their governments’ knowledge. A former White House security adviser confirmed the existence of the British order.

Bloody hell - I’m encouraged by this because it means that Apple’s encryption actually frustrates governments, but anyone using iCloud for storage or backups is pwned.

And the bugs were (usually) reliable, so if you found a workaround on your own or just avoided causing the bug, you would get a consistent experience.

Now it feels like each deployment ends up breaking something new.

Yeah, the convenience of everyone having internet has shortened development cycles and meant everything is shipped with less testing and is available for constant rework/improvement.

It’s really nice sometimes to admire early software because of how cobbled-together it was and would still work well-enough.

I tend not to finish them as well. I think I just like the exploration and learning part, then I get bored when it comes time to apply what I learned and power through content.

Red Dead 2 after the main story line… and then we got the epilogue!

lol, the last screenshot

Oh, you’re right about the wokeness thing. I really just look at a review for info about gameplay and plot quality.

Reviews have actually saved me money. Time is limited, so I’m thankful to be able toto watch a review and be able to use that to help me make a decision about a game I’m on the fence with.

Man, I don’t know why, but I remember the animations from this game. I think maybe my dad had an old demo of it?

I don’t end up playing new games much because I’m such a deal hog, so this is really nice to read :)

Looks kinda fun tbh.

Release date seems to be Q2 2025

Cheers mate 🍻

I think your internal conflict is valid, but I think it’s okay to let yourself off the hook from squeezing the maximum satisfaction out of a game all the time.

You felt like each of those bosses reached the point of “not being fun anymore”, and you took action to move on and find the fun again.

Likewise, using a summon doesn’t invalidate all the hard work you did already do to learn the patterns. The fights became so easy with the summon BECAUSE the work you put in prior.

You’re over-thinking it, my dude

This would be mine too. Fun gameplay, cool story!

Played Super Mario Bros 2 for the first time since I’ve been an adult.

I was watching the Awesome Games Done Quick marathon and remembered I loved that game as a kid. Might do Sunshine again next.
