- Comment on Any good Android games that aren't roguelikes? 2 days ago:
I listed some decent Android games I know of in a past thread.
The real secret is to look for board game adaptations and stuff you’d normally find on Steam.
I also have expanded my list for when I have the Play credit and desire for more mobile games:
- Golf Peaks, Pup Champs, and Railbound — more puzzle games by Afterburn, the same developers as inbento
- Digital board game adaptations by Dire Wolf Digital, like Root, Everdell, Clank!, and the Fox in the Forest
- Coromon and Cassette Beasts for your creature-collecting needs
- Comment on Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots) 2 days ago:
In Sonic 2006, the entire game plot happens, but the solution to the core conflict is to do some time travel shit and cancel the entire timeline

- Comment on Portal, but the portal surfaces are inverted 2 days ago:
It’s quite insane that the entire game is solvable completely inbounds this way.

Sitting is required. Sometimes you need to lean to look around. Scenes are only shown in the 180° in front of you, so you never need to spin around.

If you want a larger scope VR shooter as a follow-up to Half-Life Alyx, I suggest you also keep the Vertigo series on your list.
Moss, Beat Saber, Half-Life Alyx, and Vertigo 2 are my peak titles for singleplayer VR experiences.
- Comment on A whole bunch of racing games are cheap at the moment, and there are so many that it's difficult to look through them all. What are your recommendations? 1 week ago:
I recently started playing BallisticNG, having never played the Wipeout games. I’m finding it hypnotic and the controls feel great. I’m still on baby speeds by the game’s standards.
Out of curiosity, I looked up videos of the PS1 Wipeout games for reference and they looked slow in comparison!

- Comment on Tetris Elements – one of the strangest Tetrises ever released 2 weeks ago:
The game says it uses the modern SRS rotation system. But pieces spawn in odd orientations, like the letters they’re named after. Wall kicks are inconsistent. The configuration files literally include a “–99, –99” coordinate—developer shorthand for “don’t use this”—as an actual kick entry. It shipped like that.
I love people getting deep into the mechanics of a game to optimize their play, the kind of stuff that casual observers don’t notice.

There’s already a term for progress gated by knowledge: mystery. All of these games are about discovering facts that lead you further along.

- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 5 weeks ago:
I love my Steam Controller. I got a second before they went out of production! The two big pads are so versatile.

Tic Tac Together is team-based recursive tic-tac-toe. When both teams try to claim the same square at the same time, they have to fight for it by playing a subgame. Or a subsubgame. Et cetera. It’s surprisingly strategic. How much board control should you give up to secure a contested square?
I’ve heard good things about Sunderfolk but haven’t played it myself. It has hex-grid tactical combat with co-op done via smartphone, so only the buyer of the game needs to share their screen.

I will back up Cassette Beasts for having a strategically interesting turn-based combat system.

Looks like you enjoy retro-style 3D platformers. Get Corn Kidz 64!
Like Pseudoregalia, it’s another N64-style 3D platformer released in 2023 with a goat protagonist trapped in a dream. This is an oddly narrow coincidence.

- Comment on Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is pretty great. Anyone else playing this? 1 month ago:
I played around with the pixel settings in the Next Fest demo. It’s honestly more of a curiosity than something that really matters, but I’m glad someone on the game thought of this. The most notable change with pixel-perfect mode is the text font becomes lower resolution to be strictly snapped to the grid. Other than that, you’ll find that the backgrounds scroll choppily. I’d imagine it would feel good that way on a smaller screen.
It’s that eternal struggle you may have seen if you play modern games with pixel art. How strictly should the game follow the grid? I think Pipistrello’s default “soft” mode is my sweet spot. Rotated and resized pixels are yucky, but I’m okay with smoother scrolling and sharper text. Celeste is that way as well.

I was super impressed with the demo from Steam Next Fest last year. It’s definitely high on my list for Steam sale purchases.
One neat feature the game has, which was unnecessary but that I appreciate, is the pixel perfection settings. The game uses “soft” pixel precision by default for smooth scrolling and sharper text, but you can enable strict pixel precision, which snaps everything to the pixel grid.

I don’t think any game has made me feel so much for characters I don’t even get to see. There’s some real humanity in Hypnospace.
