boo

balatro. its kind of flawless.

Oh, that’s heartbreaking.

We are all the picard maneuver on this american day

we are all the picard maneuver on this blessed day

this is ok. minetest was an awful name.

for those of you without the patience to read a blogpost, the new name’s actually a bit of wordplay.

“Luanti” is a wordplay on the Finnish word luonti (“creation”) and the programming language Minetest Luanti employs for games and mods, Lua. The goal was to avoid yet another plain English word (good luck finding something unique…) and highlight the core principles of the project. The fusion of celeron55’s Finnish nationality and the platform’s focus on content creation resulted in the birth of “Luanti”.

hey, in souls, a win is a win is a win.

Looks like a honeybun to me.

The silent hill wiki folks sure are a rowdy bunch. This one’s pretty tame for them though, it’s decidedly lacking in rants about circumcision.

hello i will date your phone, please hand it over and give me the pin in case we make it to sleep mode.

so whats the point of the article then?

Hey, i’d rather listen to this guy’s views on penetration than Fuckner Banning’s.

what a fucked up looking bird.

finally, i don’t have to stream from my PC to play the funny card game

Through monstadt, it really does feel like a clone. Though as the game opens up, yeah it does carve out its own identity.

At the beginning before you get any good teammates, your party members are basically just the different BOTW weapons, and their skills are the different shieka slate tools. Kaeya’s your Cryo, Amber’s your Bombs, Noelle’s your hammers, and you need them to get to korok seed stand-ins. Domains are obvious parallels to shieka shrines, but they mostly get abandoned after the prologue chapter as anything other than gear grind spots. Even the grind of ascending characters and their weapons feels like doing great fairy fountain gear grinds.

edit: oh, and you climb and glide around to traverse the massive environment; it’s a surface level feature comparison, but worth mentioning.

The comparison does begin to fall apart when you find out that the meat and potatoes of genshin is the (mostly self contained) main storylines, and once you start unlocking character storylines, it becomes even further distinct. You’re not building up to reunite with your sibling by just picking a direction and exploring (or even just making a mad dash to the cryo nation), you’re sequentially building up and knockign down local threats, only occasionally getting glimpses of the main thread. And of course, the mobile game mechanics that permeate the whole thing after AR 30 or so really pull it further away.

genshin, wholly in spite of its fucked up gacha party system. If it was a normal 60 dollar game with less scope and without the gambling, I’d like it better than BotW.

what do you mean, ‘pirate yakuza,’ RGG? Is Majima only here because he has an eyepatch? is Nancy going to get a parrot rival? Because if so I’ll buy two copies

name one baby oil that got a bone in it

Wow, Kojima is really prolific, I had no idea he was writing characters into the history of the earth

Nobody knows for sure, some people are whispering that it’s half life 3
