If it looks like a developer made a mistake, it was actually the product owner. Or the user. Or cosmic rays. But never the developer.

Tank controls have been pretty universally despised for many years now. Stuff like the Grim Fandango and RE1 remasters were offering alternate non-tank controls back in 2015 and there’s probably earlier examples too

Ah, a fellow Into the Aether listener perhaps? Or maybe just a big JRPG fan 😁
I gotta check out Trails at some point. The whole tetralogy thing kinda puts me off in the same way Yakuza does but you gotta start somewhere I guess!

If you liked this I really hope you’ve dug into 1000xRESIST. They’re not super similar but enough so that I think if you liked 13 Sentinels you’d probably like it also

Always love to see Mole Mania get some love. One of Shigeru Miyamoto’s earliest titles he worked on also

What are your picks of the genre?
I’ve also tried a whole bunch, my favourite is probably Rogue: Genesia, I really like the challenges and metaprogression over some of the other titles I’ve tried

This looks rad!
On a similar note I Wanna Maker which is more or less Mario Maker but free and tonnes of developer created and user created levels to play through.

Tametsi - store.steampowered.com/app/709920/Tametsi/
Simple premise is basically Minesweeper, but all the puzzles are handcrafted with some neat designs and concepts that will stretch your puzzle solving to the limit. Also importantly, no guessing required to solve!

Taiji was waaaaay harder than the Witness for me personally, but great choice. The vibe and music and what not is super chill also

Man this made me feel guilty downvoting. Great game, a real surprise packet for me, think I got it in a Humble Bundle and tried on a whim.
- Comment on Overwatch 2 is finally bringing back 6v6 with tests to decide OW’s future 3 months ago:
I completely gave up on the game after they killed the PvE / skill plans for 2, but I played quite a lot of 2 from launch and agree. I really like 5v5 and team structure wise to me the game felt in a great place with the change personally.

Duck Detective is great, perfect short game. Hopefully they have the framework there to do more cases like Golden Idol did, because I would love to play more

Not sure if there are any other Spaces setup to do illusion generation
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 9 months ago:
Yeah it does. Apparently running in Windows under Proton is less problematic but performs a lot worse, so I didn’t bother. I’m sure it will get fixed, guessing the end of the game probably just isn’t as well tested as the first 80% because that was pretty flawless
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 9 months ago:
Have you played Pokemon Unbound? Always hearing good things about that one but never tried myself
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 9 months ago:
Been playing this too, it’s great.
Unfortunately am hitting some hard lockups in the last chapter or two on Deck so have put it down for now - seems to be a common issue based on some forum posts and ProtonDB.
I played through Portal Reloaded just before this which was excellent too, the puzzles are SUPER hard though, way harder than Revolution.

Notepad also has persistent tabs now and you can close without saving
- Comment on OD - Teaser Trailer (Hideo Kojima game) 11 months ago:
This is Kojima’s Xbox Cloud Gaming (whatever that means) game though. So I could see it being PC and Xbox only and not Playstation at least

- Comment on Sony facing $7.9 bln mass lawsuit over PlayStation Store prices 11 months ago:
Epic already tried to sue Apple and Google for basically this, saying they had to charge their customers more to account for Apple’s cut given there was no other means of acquiring.
- Comment on What are your go-to sources for game reviews and finding new games? 11 months ago:
For podcasts I highly recommend Into the Aether. They only bring games they like to the show and it’s a super chill and positive show that feels like chatting with friends who are really into vidya games. The episodes are quite long but great to listen to.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Can’t wait for the MM decomp and similar Ship project there. I’ve never played and and I’m holding out on that and all the great modern tweaks it brings over existing emulation.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Depends a lot on the games and compatibility. As mentioned Switch is definitely emulateable and often runs great but it heavily depends on the title.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
EmuDeck is basically an all in one installer for standalone emulators but also predominantly Retroarch and its cores / EmulationStation-DE.

Last I heard I think they had lost or fired 7 Editor in Chiefs across their holdings in the past 8 months or so. From what I’ve heard they are run pretty terribly for the people that work there and G/O just general
The former Kotaku EIC in particular did not have nice things to say about them on The Games Press podcast

Fair but it’s also easily avoided by buying literally any other manufacturer who doesn’t pull shit like this

This is a bit victim blamey but why the heck would you buy a Huawei device outside of China? Have to assume you can’t be familiar with the many criticisms…
