Anyone know how well these work on Steam Deck?

Does it require the touchpads for mouse control?

I feel like this was designed by the straightest committee

Follow-up question: As a gay guy, what gay drinks should I be drinking?

Idk if I see it as insulting personally - more just out of touch

I wasn’t sure what to make of ‘gay furry Mario-like’… But the gameplay actually looks pretty polished - clearly inspired by SMB3! I’ll give the demo a go.

Yeah the guy is dressed up like Leon with the leather flying jacket and haircut - it’s a pretty iconic outfit

Yes I definitely agree with that. I loved the variety of environments, and the animations felt ahead of their time for a game from 2002. Well worth completing. How long ago did you play it, out of interest?

Oh god the pachinko machine… I salute you for 100%ing the game! Yeah Yoshi feels pretty pointless considering Mario has a more diverse moveset without him.

Graphically I still think it’s pretty impressive - the heat shimmer and water in particular. Crazy considering when it was released.

Oh that’s interesting! Explains why I always had difficulty chasing down shadow Mario on Switch

I’ll have to check if it’s possible to use analog triggers with the SN30 Pro+ on Dolphin…

Lol! Do you just feel that 64 is a better game, or has better level design?

OmegaMouse,
@OmegaMouse@pawb.social avatar

That’s fair, although I’ve always considered Galaxy to have a pretty good moveset. What was it missing compared to 64?

Odyssey gives you an insane level of movement, which I love. It’s fun to just run around levels.

If I’d played it when I was younger, I don’t think I’d have made it very far to be honest! I’ve probably got a bit more patience and experience nowadays, hence finishing it on Switch. But I’m in no rush to 100% the game unlike some other Mario games (which tend to actually be fun to complete).

OmegaMouse,

Yes you’re right about having more time and better reflexes back then, but at the same time I feel like I pick up on cues and understand more what the developers intended for the player the older I’ve got. I remember playing the same levels over and over as a kid and eventually losing motivation to continue (this is somewhat balanced out by the fact that yes, I’d have more time, and also I didn’t have as many games - so I had more incentive to keep playing one to completion). Whereas nowadays I’ve got more patience and I can work out ‘oh I’m probably meant to go that way’ based on my experience of playing lots of different games over the years. I’ve built up more of an intuition for these things.

That said, I’m not sure I could beat many NES games!

Can anyone tell me what sane sar oo is??

Oh that does look like it! I’ll make sure to avoid eating ice lollies at the same time.

Oh thank FUCK. I’ve been unable to sleep, worrying about the trout. As long as they survive I can die happy! This is such great news 🙏

Suggestions for a non-survival building game with a similar scale/level of detail to Lego Worlds?

I've found myself with this interest once more, and looking about, it seems like there's still not much like ol' Lego Worlds.

However, I'm hoping I may be overlooking something right in front of me, and no, from what I've seen, Lego Fortnite is not that option. Non-generated world I think, different building style, simply a different sort of game despite the same branding.

You should take a look at the Dragon Quest builders games. Depending on your platform you might be able to try the demo out.

The first image is kinda low res, and I initially read it as:

Remove him from the brownie. Slit him over chicken. Cook on HIGH.

Thoughts on a few recent games

Mirror’s Edge - This is a game I’ve been meaning to play for some time. A few years back I played the first couple of levels on a friend’s PS3 and recalled it being a fun experience. So when it went on sale for under £2 on Steam I couldn’t say no. It holds up exceptionally well for a game from 2008! The stylised...

OmegaMouse,

If you get a chance to play the Spyro trilogy in future I highly recommend it - especially if it’s a series you enjoyed when it came out. I imagine the remaster will be all the better for that nostalgia factor. Some of the boss fights in the second game were particularly difficult!

OmegaMouse,
@OmegaMouse@pawb.social avatar

I did think Skyward Sword starts out quite slow. How far did you get?

OmegaMouse,
@OmegaMouse@pawb.social avatar

Ah that’s very early on! It gets way better after that. If you have a Switch definitely try that version and push through the intro.

OmegaMouse,
@OmegaMouse@pawb.social avatar

You’re right about the fights, although I did find it quite fun picking up the guns and blasting my way through. They’re all very beefy. For some reason it felt a bit out of character though - like using lethal weapons in Metal Gear.

OmegaMouse,
@OmegaMouse@pawb.social avatar

Personally I loved BOTW, but I guess I didn’t go in expecting a traditional Zelda game. I think it does some really neat stuff with its world, different from a lot of other open world games of that time. But yes if you want a recent and classic feeling Zelda, SS is perfect.

What kind of beans are we talking about here?

OmegaMouse,
@OmegaMouse@pawb.social avatar

It’s a shame really, think of all the dicks everyone could be sucking in a perfect world

OmegaMouse,

I played the remastered Spyro trilogy recently (great games) and it took me about half of the first game to work out how the gem chests work. You hit them and the gem shoots out the top, which you then have to grab before it returns in order to unlock the chest. For a while I thought you just had to ground pound the chest at the right angle to get it to open and I couldn’t work out why it didn’t always work.

After realising the correct way I felt pretty dumb lol.

Controversial, but I think their second album was way better

I think this model can work, and has its benefits (like with Game Pass). To be clear though, Ubisoft’s offering is shit and not worth the price they’re asking. And one thing I absolutely hate is the (sometimes timed) exclusivity on some of these platforms. The Lost Crown looks great for example, but Ubisoft are trying to force people to use their service by not offering it on Steam.

Personally I don’t really mind not ‘owning’ the game in most cases. 9 times out of 10, I’ll play a game and be done with it. Short, linear indie games for example are perfect for a Game Pass type model. What we don’t need is 10 similar subscriptions with their own exclusives.
