Getting lost. I like exploring until I’m done exploring, and then I have a low tolerance for wandering aimlessly. I don’t need an indicator and a map to tell me where to go, but I appreciate a sign post or NPC to nudge me in the right direction if I need it. Sometimes level/world design does not help in areas that look samey, so landmarks or some sort of unique feature are appreciated.

I’ve been on Lemmy.ca for a few years. What’s the difference that should make me want to switch to piefed.ca?

I have to run “fsck /dev/sda9” every time my Mint laptop battery dies. No idea why or how to automate that if it’s possible. The last time took like 9 hours to check everything, AND THEN told me I had to run some check again and can’t use “-y” and had to manually enter “y” for every prompt. Wtf and why? I thought Mint was the normie distro made for me.

Preorder, no. I don’t usually buy brand new games. FF Tactics remake was the most recent and I needed to see a few days of reviews to build the trust to buy it. Maybe if Fromsoft releases another one-player game I’ll consider that. I’m not sure the types of developers I usually buy games from tend to even do preorder, it seems to be bigger studios from what I have seen.

Early access, yes for a few select indie developers that I want to support. ATLYSS because it’s priced low and looks great. Into the Unwell will be a day 1 purchase once it reaches early access, since I have played the closed beta and know I want it. Trinity 64 will be another one I’m excited for if it gets an EA release. I’m ok with EA for these because they’re the types of games I yearn for and I want more of them, and I know my contribution makes an impact to the devs.

I recently had a weird craving for ginger ale with whipped cream. Turns out it’s quite good.

It looks great and it’s been on my wishlist. Unfortunately the price is not right for me yet, and there were other games of higher priority on my wishlist for now. Maybe next year.

Keep playing TUNIC. It’s great.

Someone else mentioned Death’s Door which I see as TUNIC’s overlooked cousin.

Some others that are similar, have either played them or purchased and not played yet, due to similar taste to yours:

Alwa’s Awakening & Alwa’s Legacy

Anodyne

Blossom Tales series

Fountains

Lunacid

The Messenger

Moonlighter series

Unsouled

Seconded

Yes. Unless it’s the rare occasion I want to play something competitive like CSGO then I’d use m&k.

Lorde and RTJ are both great. If you enjoyed Lorde but were afraid to admit it, that’d be the only thing revoking your man card.

Frequency illusion going hard. This is my second time hearing the term “wrist breaker”. The first time was earlier today.

Thanks, I love it

Did you make this chart yourself from scratch or is there some kind of tracking tool to help?

I’m also a PC gamer who prefers using a controller. No doubt a mouse is better for aiming, I just find a controller more comfortable and easier to relax with while playing, especially after working a desk job all day.

You should check out Remnant 2 and Risk of Rain 2.

Pretty spot on video.

I just ordered the plushy because it’s on sale and I love Chewnic so much. I love the fox.

I haven’t played very many, and these might not be pure Metroidvanias, but I recommend:

The Messenger

Pseudoregalia

Tunic

Bloodthief

I followed the dev logs on Youtube and learned a few Godot tricks from them. Got this on day one to support the dev and indie scene and just started playing. It’s a blast. Fast paced hack and slash parkour action. It feels extremely satisfying to clear a room of enemies as you whip around.

Lunacid. Just finished 100%ing it and I’m impressed. I wasn’t expecting to get so much out of it, but it took nearly 40 hours.

Lots of good suggestions already, but I don’t think I saw anyone mention Twisted Metal: Black. It’s very dark and lots of fun.
