I was just thinking “Hey, this kind of looks like Dark Messiah.” And then he kicked an enemy off of a ledge and I thought “Oh it’s 100% a sequel to Dark Messiah.”
- Comment on What is your favorite Metroidvania? 2 days ago:
I’ve always thought it was both. I’m definitely no expert on Metroidvanias, since I’ve only played the one (if Dead Cells counts as one). I actually thought the term “Metroidvania” was about the movement and combat – today I just learned that it’s about the exploration and finding things. You do at least have to do that in the bank level, if I remember right. And the castle level.
- Comment on What is your favorite Metroidvania? 2 days ago:
The only one I’ve played is Dead Cells, and it’s fantastic. I haven’t even bought any of the DLC, the base game is already endlessly replayable. I also listen to the soundtrack at least once a week.
I definitely want to get around to playing Hollow Knight and Animal Well at some point.

Wait…you can just do that?
- Comment on While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago 1 week ago:
I don’t think that is true, but I certainly like the idea of it being true.
- Comment on Godot Engine – 2025 Showreel 2 weeks ago:
These look great, I love the diversity of art styles on display here.
The title “The Adventures of Gary Pretzelneck” cracked me up. :D
- Comment on Day 477 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
This is making me want to replay this game. I don’t really remember much about the story of this one, but I do remember than the slow motion mechanics were much better than those of the first game.
- Comment on Inside ARMSX2: Interviewing the Team Reviving PS2 Emulation on Android (my article!) 3 weeks ago:
That was a great interview, thanks for doing it! And I bet the devs enjoy getting to talk about this kind of thing. There are plenty of blog posts about what new features are coming out in open source projects, but very few interviews like this one.
It’s cool how everything right now is still (mostly) focused on translating x86 to ARM, but how we’re starting to hear talk about native ARM. I’m guessing that there won’t enough of a push for that, though, until Linux ARM PCs become more popular. I’m definitely looking forward to that.

Thank you! That was it. Not sure if that’s new or if I just hadn’t noticed before.

Thank you! That works.

My barber would be all the way over on the bottom right. Makes literally like 300 cuts just while I’m there and I’ve never even seen a tape measure anywhere in the shop.
- Comment on GOG: We’re thrilled to announce that the Crysis Remastered Trilogy has joined our catalog, and the original Crysis is now part of the GOG Preservation Program! 1 month ago:
Nice, glad to hear that the original, non-remastered Crysis is available! If I remember right, Crysis Remastered is actually an update to the console port of Crysis, and the console versions simplified how your powers activate, making it easier to do on a controller.
- Comment on Immich finally goes stable, a talk with the team 1 month ago:
There’s a photo of the back of the case here, which describes how to use it: https://immich.store/products/immich-retro
So it sounds like it’s a bootable Linux image, with Immich already set up on it.
- Comment on Immich finally goes stable, a talk with the team 1 month ago:
I love the fact that they produced an installation DVD.

Wait, really? I looked at it on the piefed instance I’m using and also on lemmy.world.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 1 month ago:
I’m not, and I’ve enjoyed the process of finding my own music again. I started buying music CDs; there’s a used bookstore near me with a giant shelf of CDs for $1 each. I set up a music server (I chose Funkwhale, although Navidrome seems to be the more popular choice) that I upload everything to, so I can still stream things, it’s just from my own server. And I bought an MP3 player.
- Comment on this level is amazing 1 month ago:
I agree, but I think that says a lot about how good the atmosphere in this level was. Gameplay-wise, it really isn’t as interesting as the rest of the game. And yet, everyone was talking about the Scarecrow parts back when this game came out, and it’s still a memorable part of the game.
I think it helps that you won’t die too many times at this part. If it was a platformer section and you had to keep replaying it, people would remember it negatively. (Kind of like how people always hate the puzzle sections in action games.) But instead, they gave this part a great presentation, and you can get through it fairly quickly, so the gameplay didn’t really leave a bad taste in your mouth.
- Comment on this level is amazing 1 month ago:
I love this version of Scarecrow, probably one of the best iterations of the character. Although he was creepy as hell in Arkham Knight, too.
Also…
DO NOT CLICK IF YOU HAVEN’T BEATEN ARKHAM ASYLUM IT IS A CLASSIC DON’T RUIN IT
The fake game crash totally got me when I first played this.
- Comment on this level is amazing 1 month ago:
I bet it is. I haven’t played it in a few years, although I just replayed the sequel – Arkham City – earlier this year and it was still great. Arkham City added quite a few game mechanics on top of Arkham Asylum, but I bet Asylum is still fun. Most people agree that Asylum had the best atmosphere, too.
- Comment on You should know how to coil cables 1 month ago:
This is a 10/10 YSK tip. I haven’t had to untangle my headphones or charging cable after I learned this.
Here is the same trick with a smaller cable, probably more like what most of us are coiling up every day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fsvANAT3yg&t=160s (start at 2:40)

Ah, gotcha. That’s a use case I hadn’t thought of. Mine is just the photo backup for my current phone, so when I have my phone with me, I can see all of the photos on the phone itself.
- Comment on Immich mobile app sync V2 1 month ago:
I’m using immich and really like it, but I’m not using the Android app. I have synthing on my phone, and I let syncthing send the photos to my server. Then Immich detects the files in the syncthing folder.
Is there any benefit to using the app? Or would using the app be basically the same thing that I’m doing now?

I love how active the development on Linkwarden is. I still have all of my stuff in wallabag, but Linkwarden is tempting. I gave the hosted trial a try a few weeks ago, but my wallabag export was too big to import. Maybe I’ll try selfhosting it and manually increasing the max upload size this time.
- Comment on Linkwarden v2.13 - open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, read, annotate, and fully preserve what matters (tons of new features!) 🚀 1 month ago:
Yep, that’s exactly what this is for. You use Linkwarden to bookmark things, though – it’s not for your browser bookmarks. But there’s a browser extension, so you’re still just clicking one button to bookmark things. And you can export your browser bookmarks and then import them in Linkwarden.

Bah, I got excited and thought that you meant that it was going to be the Epic Games Store freebie next month. Wishful thinking on my part. :P
