    One of the few parts of the article i believe:

    Lu did not respond to multiple emailed requests for comment and told a Post reporter who visited his office in Los Angeles to leave the premises.

    I loved Portal 1+2 and the coop but never tried mods beyond orange box types like the stanley parable and zombie master. when did those portal mods come out? Is getting mods on my switch easy or is that an emulator type deal

    Definitely the first time in awhile where I felt like I was overcharged for a purchase i’d actively made. Too busy buying indie games

    Idk how i forgot to mention that. Maybe bc it was so early. I was trying to get that heart piece right next to the first crawltula you meet and i did it by stacking beds. It didn’t occur to me to reverse bind to the spider until I got to the cave nearby where progress via crawl-bind is mandatory and it hit me then. My jaw dropped and I was in faron woods before my first dungeon completion lol

  • Pasting this here from a comment I made in a tangential thread: I played through this game hoping for the best this past weekend. The highest praise i can give is that while the presentation is perfect, the gameplay is half baked at best and frustrating at its worst. The echoes are a great idea but they’re seriously lacking in depth. Maybe 5 of them can be used for almost every “puzzle”. The stronger combat echoes trivialize the combat. The dungeons are too short and simple save for maybe one or two of them. Thinking i liked gerudo, zora, and faron the best. I was totally mesmerized by being able to traverse a “2d” zelda map in the manner that some of the more vertically inclined echoes. They even present you with some classic zelda dungeon rooms that can be maneuvered in the classic way or be completely subverted by the player if you remember you’re playing the new game. which is very satisfying the first few times. However, by hour ten and in the last few dungeons that novelty wore off and it became very clear they forgot to make any kind of challenging puzzle involving clever echo use beyond flying tile + platboom or water tile. i don’t think zelda games have ever been or have supposed to be “challenging” but I don’t think i’m off base asserting that some puzzles aren’t immediately solvable in older games. The menus are dogshit and waste you time. The dialogue boxes waste your time. Resetting mini games waste your time. Making smoothies wastes your time. Sorting through your 127 echoes wastes your time. I’m not sure why this is acceptable but the only answer is that ppl buy it and complaints don’t have to be heard after they have your money so fuck it i guess. The only way to get a solid game out of these stooges is to force system memory limitations on them again. Oh did you want to play in the old style? don’t worry we put that on a timer and you can go into link mode and feel what it’s like to play a tight lovingly crafted game for a few fleeting moments before your juice bar hits 0. The dialogue itself is good. the tutorials aren’t annoying. tri is a good companion. i adore the art style. There is a lot of observational skill involved with some hidden items and heart pieces. I had fun, but I feel like they stopped just short of making a 10/10 to intetionslly a 5/10 baby game. Games are for children. just go play Tunic WdyT?

    I don’t usually watch superhero movies. I did see Joker tho. I think the premise of being as “realistic” as possible & the acting carried the movie for me. However, I disagree about the ending. It whacked the movie over the head with a theme-shaped bat until its subsequent paste-form could be anything but misinterpreted. I was kinda hoping there wouldn’t be a sequel

    I knew i was dealing with the finest snack purveyors when i got to the bottom of the small bag and there were actual dried sichuan peppercorns and chiles. Amerikan snack jockeys won’t give you anything beyond a red 40 laced powder with “natural flavors”

    this argument doesn't hold water bc China's treat technology is so far ahead of the rest of the world that I don't think it can be matched.
