Platformers are amazing. I think I like most of the big series that I’ve played—Mario, Sonic, DKC, Crash, Mega Man, etc.—and I really enjoy indie platformers.

Recent indie games that have taken the tried and true formula of unforgiving precision platforming to the extreme are also amazing. Celeste is a gorgeous games, Kaze kicks ass and retro throwback games like Byte the Bullet and Bzzzt are soooo satisfying.

I like a good pick up and play game, platformers fit the bill.

Once muscle memory kicks in, you’re golden. As long as the learning curve is right.

Going back and playing the first levels with the skill gained by completing the game is such a good feeling.

For me, SMB Wonder is a 10/10 platformer if we’re looking at recent 2D only. I don’t know many 3D platformers, but Crash 4 is a must play (I think that’s the most recent 3D platformer I’ve played).

You gotta try Mega Man. And if that doesn’t do anything for you, try Mega Man X or Zero. I love all of them, but X7 and X8 were my leas favourite.

Personally, I like them because of the art style, the music, and the challenge.

I found Iconoclasts to be pretty uplifting to play. The ending is marvellously satisfying.

The Shantae games are good.

Disney Illusion Island fits in here too.

Excellent game. Still never quite finished it. I think have 3 screens left.

Le pharmacien ne voulait pas me faire les 2 en même temps. J’ai pas râlé

J’ai eu mon vaccin contre la grippe ce matin et j’ai pris rdv pour le COVID. Je n’ai pas de problème de santé mais j’ai déjà eu 2 ou 3 fois cette merde et éviter les formes graves est une priorité pour moi.

I’ve always liked FF. We had FF1 on the NES back when but the battery in it was did so we had to the leave the console on. My brother got through it after a good number of afternoons.

I never got into it though. I like watching it. I remember the obsession around FFVII.

The I picked up one of those SNES Mini things that came with… FFIV. That one got me. I wasn’t surprised to find out that loads of people love that one in particular.

I’m tracking sales on dekudeals for the moment but I did get copies of Raiden IV (which is definitely something I enjoy), Ando Dunos II ( still can’t beat the boss rush to unlock the last levels) and GreyLancer.

I’ll probably pick up Strikers 1945 II this week since it is on sale.

I’m just patiently waiting and also considering grabbing some physical copies of games that I’ve seen for sale on local marketplaces (Sophstar and Mushihimesama).

Oui, c’est vrai. Mais c’était pratique. Je m’en servais surtout pour avoir le solde de ma carte ticket resto.

Je suis d’accord, mais j’aimerais quand même connaître mon solde via SMS comme avant.

Il y a toujours quelques téléphones KaiOS, S30+ et Mocor qui traînent

I don’t want to make generalisations. I have worked with people from all around the world as a teacher at an international business school. A thing that comes up quite often is a certain close-mindedness of people in China. I never would have noticed this myself, but it was my own students from China that mentioned it to me. I’ve only been to China once for 3 weeks and I while talking to people I did hear some comments about other nationalities that made little sense historically. My friend that I was visiting there basically said that anything bad that happens in China is caused by foreigners or Uyghurs which sounds like BS to me.

Why a child, though? That’s some evil shit. Get that person’s phone and look at ther social media, I bet their WeChat is filled with anti-Japanese shit.

The majority of my international students are very worldly and open-minded, and every year there are more like them.

Loved Nier: Automata. I didn’t finish it completely, I think I got through Nines’ playthrough and stopped after that and sold the game.

That music sticks in your head though! Have you seen the Anime?

I’m trying to get into shmups. Just playing whatever I can find on sale on Switch. Mostly Raiden IV x MIKADO Remix on loop. I think I might be getting better!

Another term for shmup or Shoot 'em up

You can still install Rockbox on many different MP3 players, that comes with little games like that…and Doom.

I’m still considering getting one of these

Some games it was just the difficulty that scared me.

There were plenty of jump scare games that definitely got me like the early RE and SH games. Even Metroid games got me when I was a kid.

I haven’t tried a horror game in more than 20 years though!

I don’t have a Steam Deck, but I’d imagine it has something to do with Windows or anti-cheat software of some sort. It looks like many of the Raiden series are not Deck Verified…
