Look, I'm tired of having American social agendas shoved into darn near everything that isn't an indie project and especially when actual history is distorted or even completely fabricated in the process. It's insulting and I do not believe for a second that they just wanted to "tell an interesting story". It's just more Netflix-style nonsense as far as I'm concerned. Their own statements linked elsewhere in the thread prove that they aren't even interested in history or even the history of black people, but rather inserting their contemporary politics into places where they don't belong.

I refunded that dogshit game. Horribly optimized, ran like shit on my 3080ti.
I'm waiting for access to arena breakout infinite. Looks like a slightly more arcady tarkov but streams say it plays amazing.

Luckiest find of the year so far at the flea market, I found an original Gameboy with damage from leaking batteries with a mysterious cartridge still on it, and an iPod 5th gen with hopefully a dead hard drive. I am sure that I can fix the iPod but I have my doubts with the Gameboy as I haven't checked how widespread the damage is.. I can't also check what game is on the cartridge because I can't find my GBA to test it.

Remember Braid? It has been 15 years.
You can't buy the original anymore.

it's not to bad, when it came out it was literally the definition on "indie". market grew a lot since then.
humbebundle has a metroidvania bundle right now, I grabbed it just for ghost song and 9 years of shadow.
iirc there isn't much around that area that could get damaged, and worse getting a replacement part shouldn't be that difficult.

Humblebundle is where I got Braid with like a dozen other indie games (hit and miss--but it included Crayon Physics Deluxe, VVVVVV, Machinarium, and others), but it was back in 2011 where Humblebundle was really good and had some good stuff, not "$20 minimum to not get just itch.io trash".
If you haven't played Braid yet, just pirate the original. I was amused that one of BIT.TRIP RUNNER's achievements was "EVERYONE. PLAYED BRAID". I liked Braid but it's not "$20 for a 15 year old game" good. Also, they say not to use a walkthrough but there's a LOT of bullshit, like "stand on this cloud and wait an hour in real time".

It is, in fact very good. I've been nonstop playing for the past 3 hours and I normally hate this fast twitch pseudo boomershooter genre, drop that $20 my nigger.
Also from all the little nods and subtle redpills I'm 99% sure it isn't some tranny freak dev, so they doubly earned my money.
Re: Braid
I fucking hated it way back and it aged horribly aswell in my opinion. Not only that, but the developer has some of the worst fucking takes aswell, he "um ackshually it's a dogshit game" 'd Elden Ring and he said something along the lines of "games are the best art medium because they combine art, music and a story" in I think an article, which is a remarkably retarded thing to say.

My gaming computer is down til Tuesday when the new fans come and I'm asking myself why I even am bothering. I keep downloading games still, but I so rarely find time to play them anymore. The few hours I do, I play something old and familiar like civilization or rise of nations. I tell myself I'm just banking away for some point in the future when I will have time, which is why I have bookshelves full of books I haven't read yet, too. When am I going to play or read them, when I fucking retire? I guess it's just digital hoarding at this point.

I remember he was in some documentary about indie games. And Braid is the worst example for "art" because it's basically some pretentious graphics and some licensed music you might hear at a Renaissance Faire.
Here's what Braid looked like before he found artists to make it look prettier.

Game looked awesome from what I've seen. Loved the aesthetics and the gameplay looks like a first person Hotline Miami that's taken even more coke than HLM somehow.
>dev might actually be cool
Strong selling point especially in this day and age. Don't want to add more things to my backlog since I have more games than time as it is, but I'll definitely make sure to wishlist it for later.
Gotta love that dirtbag switcharoo trick.

I was playing Timespinner earlier, and it seemed pretty good. Then I decided to check the negative Steam reviews and found out that apparently the dialogue is crammed full of gay/tranny/polyamory shit later on. Too bad I'm way outside the refund window. At least I bought it 50% off.

Last Epoch is more fun than Path of Exile in like every way, wow.

Continuing from this as I just found my GBA, the mystery game is Super Mario Bros Land and seems to work fine.

I've given up on trying to play Last Epoch's Paladin using my own build, there's just no good way to use all the Electrify skills in tandem: Smite takes too many points to spec Electrify compared to just going Ignite so it's no good as a primary skill, but Smite can proc the skill Healing Hands (which can easily spec Electrify, despite being a fire skill), but that only works when Smite is cast directly, so I can't just load up on "% to proc Smite on Throwing Hit" idols and proc Healing Hands via Smite via Javelin (a throwing skill which also can easily spec into Electrify) because then it wouldn't be a direct cast. And then there's a unique sword that grants Electrify chance, but even though melee can also proc Healing Hands, when procced that way it heals me 65% less and I'm tissue paper sans sustain, and I also miss out on all the other Electrify skills which are arranged just so such that I can't proc them all at the same time, and, here's the kicker, because of how Electrify (and all other ailments in Last Epoch) works, it's of no use to use all the skills consecutively, because if they're not all casting simultaneously there's no good way to get enough simultaneous Electrify stacks: ailments have a fixed base damage (which can be increased but this tapers off rapidly), but stack infinitely, so the only good way to shred stuff with ailments is to get an ungodly amount of hits on a target with high % to apply the desired ailment.
All of which I can't seem to figure out for Electrify, because none of the skills fit together, but Ignite Smite / Healing Hands sounds and plays like a fart and without some spectacle it just isn't fun.
Thankfully, I lucked out: I didn't realize until I started looking up builds that Healing Hands is even more broken than the entire Warlock mastery, I just needed to cast it directly, spec into Divine Bolt, and then stack nothing but cast speed and healing effectiveness - which, for Healing Hands, can also scale its damage.

I am enjoying it, despite my hyperbolic complaint; I was able to respec without needing to farm currency or do any trading. I can actually experiment, and it isn't a waste of weeks of my life to do so, it's actually fun to try and put my own build together even if it fails.

Nice. Super Mario Land is neither long nor challenging, but it's a good game, even if it gives off major "bootleg Mario game" vibes.

Nice one. Used to have tons of fun with one of these when I was a kid. Mostly Warioware and Aria of Sorrow. Real bangers.

humblebundle got worse after they locked the "good stuff" behind the monthly, plus some faggotry of mandatory cut while making it a pain in the ass to adjust it. back then you could literally give 100% to the devs or charity. fanatical has mostly filled that niche, and these days there's usually a sale somewhere.
however some bundles are still good, the current one is 14 bucks, even buying the 2 games I really wanted would cost almost as much, instead I get a handful of other games that might be worth playing. it really depends what's in there.
and it's absolutely culturally relevant:

I remember reading this article of a game parody of Squid Game that was popular in 2021 or 2022. I was crying of laughter at this image that they showed in the article.
