Put your best foot forward in this new year, it's the first Manul Monday of 2025!

A manul standing in the snow stretching out its front leg while caught mid-yawn. Its wide eyes looking at the camera along with its open mouth give an anthropomorphic expression of shock.

As the old one comes to a close, what does the next year hold? The orb foresees a Manul Monday in your future...

I have a feeling this is due to personal circumstances revolving around an individual years and years back who you've shared small details about It's a shame though. Okamiden was one of my favourite playthroughs of yours.

dude there were whole pdfile rings, I saw terrorists organising on there and a bunch of weird 13 year olds dunking on them so hard that they straight up left, the smash community controversy had a lot of perpetrators who were big names on there

there is a significant lack of content compared to the other games in the series, the durability system means that there is a struggle for resources and it is incredibly competitive and divisive within the community of players i loved new horizons though, it's a good animal crossing game

see I was thinking that too but I'm not entirely sure if we're talking about New Leaf, definitely if it's New Horizons, absolutely not

so like what is the ultimate cozy game? most games that have tried to be cozy since stardew valley have been a stardew valley clone

Their sources and examples are really the fandom wiki? As if SpongeBob doesn't have a shitton of info, they had to resort to the fan created page

I've played like 45 hours of Brothership rn and I have like 2 gripes 1) bomb derby, arguably the WORST bros attack, is back in the game 2) the bobomb mission caused me the most gameovers but I'm just salty about it

An example I can think of that does this 'run away sometimes' system right is Dragons Dogma. If an enemy is too strong for you, you will not make a dent in its health (soulsborne bosses will vary with this, but this is again because of the crap scaling)

gxstalt @gxstalt.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

You're right in both regards there. The souls games have done certain things very well (but then decided to scrap it, i.e. lifegems). It doesn't change the fact that the game is obtuse and carried by its name, rather than its gameplay

gxstalt @gxstalt.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

When it comes to Elden Ring, my main problem is the world itself. Not only is it lacklustre as an open world, it's also something that highlights why appropriate level scaling needs to be implemented. You can very easily fall into a 'too strong' or 'too weak' trap, which lessens the experience
