Maybe exposure therapy is the way! Treat it out to lunch and then go volunteer at a soup kitchen together; you never know…

Oh. Well, if the mods are this active, then that could probably be changed, too! I’m not trying to insult you or something; I just think the titles could be made much more meaningful with just a bit more focus (which also means they could potentially attract more redditors or other lurking, fence-sitting denizens of the Internet through quality stuff in both title and body).

Could you please rename such a long and misleading title to something more succinct and accurate?
Day 333 of game commentary: Minecraft
I strongly believe it would genuinely boost the quality of your submissions.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world needs to change the title to “Daily thoughts: game X, game Y, game Z.” Continually saying “screenshot” each time is misleading and does legitimately sound spammy and annoying. A simple title change would be so much better.

FYI, the “O” in “GOG” is capitalized; it stands for “Good Old Games” as they originally made their claim to fame by modernizing access to literally old DOS, etc. games that are hard to run onodern PCs. It doesn’t stand for “of.”
With that said, yes, GOG should absolutely be prioritized, as well as itch.io.

I tried a bit of Aquaria but couldn’t get into it… Thanks for the Gato recommendation. I didn’t know it was CS-like.
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 1 month ago:
Oh. It’s been literal years so I totally forgot that initialism, but while we’re at it, the second “C” in “CrossCode” is also capital.
It’s smooth as butter, yeah, but I think I would prefer a game focused on a different character class/weapon. I remember some progression of concepts but I guess didn’t really connect the dots (even though I don’t think I looked up a guide more than once or twice briefly).

Not sure what “VRP” is unless you just mean ricochet puzzles, but mind you, I did play 95% of the game. It felt just too same-y after long enough (it was the plot and environment that had kept me going), and then I just gave up and finished through some YouTuber’s play-through and I confirmed that I had apparently quit at the start of the final dungeon, because it just felt like… more of the same timing-&-angling annoyances with no more originality. Zelda was far, far more creative and I think the game just could have done more with items or different weapons, or something, though I know much of it is based on your character being a specific class that was fixed pre-game… It just ultimately wore me down, sadly.
Right: *successor, not “sequel.”

Copyright, yes it’s a problem and should be fixed.
The quick fix: stick to open-source like jan.ai.
Long-term solution: make profiting AI companies pay for UBI.

Hmm… May I watch you stream Vagante sometime? I’ve been iffy over it for a year or more now because of those reviews. Let me see how you die LOL jk.

Cave Story is undoubtedly the greatest Metroidvania made to date of which I know.
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 1 month ago:
Too bad the developer duo basically disappeared… I had an idea for a 2-player sequel but they never responded.
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 1 month ago:
I really hope the sequel does more with dungeons than just ricochet/geometry puzzles. CrossCode’s incessant use of those in dungeon after dungeon was what made me stop playing.

Slice & Dice is the best dice-building roguelite ever and has a free demo that is only content-limited and allows you to already play an infinite amount of runs. I literally played the demo as much as a paid game for a month until I bit down—so hard that, once, when I had my phone in hand and intended to take a shower, I ended up crouching on the bathroom floor furthering a run for an hour before finally pausing to return to the real world.
Clone Drone in the Danger Zone offers awesome online co-op. Noita’s world is just endless (people are still discovering new spell permutations years later). I will never turn down someone’s offer or request to watch a run of FTL: Faster Than Light.
The AAA world is not impressive to me at all, and if anything gets deprioritized in my book; graphics or a third-person view do not a fantastic game make.
