For me I often have a fix in 5 minutes. I just don’t have the time to review and push

Jokes aside, you may want to take them to a vet

My issue is that I already stated which one I liked and disliked.

Plus the way your comment is worded made it sound like you were going for some big ‘gotcha’ arguement, like “but you said you like Zelda so it doesn’t make sense to not like Darksiders”

Hmm. I’ll have to check out the demo. The screenshots of the gameplay make me thunk I’ll bounce off it, but figuring that out is what a dwmo is for

And your point is?

Good luck hunting down every last book that people mighr have. Especially when The Bible falls under the purview

I’m not raging out. It’s just that the show’s fanbase is fairly hostile, to put it mildly.

Mainly, I was trying to head off some bad-faith arguments I’ve seen used in the past

Since you like Metroidvanias, have you tried Ori and the Blind Forest? Personally I found it to be tuned very well for difficulty. I ended up beating it without realizing there was a triple-jump ability you could find.

The sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, wasn’t as good in my opinion. They ended up pulling a few mechanics from Hollow Knight, which detracted from the uniqueness of the first game.

Fair.

I think I was able to deep dive into the series’ lore because I started with Halo 3, and because I was a teenager at the time. I eventually went back to play CE and 2 and they… are certainly products of their time

I’ve played a number of Zelda games, including the original and enjoyed pretty much all the ones I’ve tried.

I’ve only tried the first of the new God of War games and hated it. I dropped it after 3-4 hours. I was annoyed with how clunky the controls were and it was mainly set arenas for combat with boring hallways with slow running in between

Pretty much. They need a different genre name, like “masochist” or “try-hard”. A lot of these games are significantly more punishing than the original Dark Souls ever was

the conclusion that the game wasn’t respecting my time

That’s exactly why I quit too. You’re smarter than me, since I spent over 30 hours on it before quitting.

Hollow Knight.

There’s a couple of things the devs could have done to make things way more tolerable, like not putting the fucking shades in the middle of platforming challenges and giving health bars to bosses so you can tell when you should go somewhere else instead of face-tanking them for 3 hours.

But god forbid anyone says anything even remotely disparaging against the game, as they’re quickly mobbed by fanboys and told to “git gud” because they treat masochistic games like HK as some perverse dick-measuring contest.

And unfortunately I can’t away from hearing about it with everyone sperging out over the upcoming sequel.

Agreed. I got about halfway through the first one before I quit

How deep and interesting the lore is.

Could the people telling you that have possibly been talking about the books? There’s >20 books telling various storylines from the franchise and they go way deeper than the games.

I will agree that the games are pretty sparse for storytelling. They tend to go more “show, don’t tell”. The problem with that is that the lore of Halo needs to be told and can’t really be shown

HEMA or SCA?

As someone who regularly plays on a Steam Deck, I almost exclusively play 2D indie games on it. 3D games (even 2D gameplay with 3D graphics) tend to have 30-40fps and go through the battery in ~2 hours. I love the thing and it works great for my needs, but it doesn’t handle everything well.

Hopefully this helps add context

I wouldn’t call RWBY a good example. First, it goes downhill after season 3. Second, the relationship you’re referring to was only added in due to fans continually demanding it just from the two merely looking at each other in season 1.

And before you start to argue the second point: Monty Oum created the show. If you want a leg to stand on, go find evidence of him claiming the relationship was intended from the start. And please don’t give me a quote from Miles Luna, he’s the one that drove the show into the ground

I can teach you how to swing a sword

There is plenty of backup management software

Could you provide any examples to start looking into?
