Don’t go for a whole guide, pick something smaller like all the recipes or a map of Dry Dry Desert (two things I remember printing off back in the day!)

Well if you add the games to steam then you can launch them all from game mode

That’s cool, could be useful if you wanted to limit your usage or something like that. Instead of constantly opening an app and scrolling to see what’s new just set the RSS reader to poll every 24 hours and only look at what it presents you with.
- Comment on Can i get the top day feed of my subscriptions to put on feeder (or other rss readers?) 5 weeks ago:
Ooo interesting, I use this for specific communities but I hadn’t thought about using it for a whole feed. How does it fare for something like Top Day, does it just update once a day? And how does it even know about what I’m subscribed to?

- Comment on Alternative app store AltStore raises $6M, connects with the fediverse | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
It says “alternative app store”, not “alternative iOS app store”, “alternative to Apple’s App Store” or even “alternative App Store”. The term “app store” is used pretty generally nowadays, there’s no implication in the title that it’s even talking about mobile apps!

This article vaguely hints but doesn’t actually say anywhere that this is for iOS apps
- Comment on Who's your favorite female protagonist in a video game? (Add pic of character in response) 5 weeks ago:
I played Metroid Prime for the first time recently and Samus Aran is an absolute badass. She crash lands on a planet and kills every single thing she encounters. If you read the logs of the space pirates you find scattered around they basically say “oh fuck the hunter is here, she’s coming for us next”.
The atmosphere is almost a little survival-horror-esque, but the experience is more like doom: you’re not locked in here with all these monsters, all these monsters are locked in here with you.
- Comment on Snake Pass, unique and charming platformer 1 month ago:
I picked this up for free a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised, a lovely unique little platform/puzzle
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 1 month ago:
I loved that game. It’s been a while since I played but I remember the only way I could reliably do the max-difficulty missions quickly was by using the brick spaceship to smash directly into the room where the target was or something insane like that!
- Comment on Fun yet unknown gameplay MECHANICS? (POLL) 1 month ago:
“Dodo cheat”, at least according to the little cheat book I had back in the day. It gave cars the same mechanics as the dodo (which I think was the little sea plane). Using the tank like a rocket and aiming for a ramp was the best.

I’m not really that fussed about story, it’s a nice bonus but the gameplay is what keeps me hooked. Sounds like Inscryption is the one to play first; Slay the Spire sounds more like the Binding of Isaac, something I’ve probably put a thousand hours into already!
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Keep at it, the mirror unlocks really help (plus you just get better at dodging etc)
- Comment on 1 month ago:
I’ve got both of these games, which one should I play first? I’m fully expecting to put hundreds of hours into each so I guess I want the smaller/simpler one first, but if you’ve played both and can make a (spoiler free) recommendation then please do!
- Comment on Pac-Man Creator's Forgotten Game - Libble Rabble 1 month ago:
I found a online emulator and it’s not bad! Not an instant classic like pacman and definitely difficult to control two characters at once, but a fun little arcade game.

What you were taught
“Mobile phones will never replace desktop computers”
What we know now
Mobile devices became the primary computing platform for billions of people worldwide.
That isn’t a response to the initial statement at all, which is very much an opinion or prediction rather than any claim to be a fact. I’m suddenly feeling pretty sceptical about this website.

You’re welcome, it’s a really good way to inject some new difficulty into a game you already know inside out. Careful about going full rando though, having your weedle evolve into a mewtwo with a 40PP hyper beam might break things a little!

- Comment on Britain’s illegal e-bike boom: desperation, delivery drivers – and unthinkable danger 2 months ago:
The issue is, says Ford, that these illegal e-bikes are in effect motorbikes. “These people have passed no test, have no road training and don’t have the road skills. They just get on and ride around without insurance, tax, the bike not conforming to lights and everything else it should conform to, it’s not registered with the DVLA, all these things.”
Obviously “unthinkable” is one person’s opinion, but you get their point

I’m not really a “plot” sort of gamer so probably don’t have a huge amount of experience to choose from, but Undertale really sounds like it fits the bill. It’s all laughs and jokes until it’s not.
