Obra Dinn. About to dive into this one too. Really looking forward to it.
Pico-8, developing for and general messing about with this thing.
Just stupid amounts of indie games on steam
Tales of Greta, a free downloadable difficult single screen platformer - reminds me of Donkey Kong kinda.

My list of games beaten over the past several months now goes something like this:
✅ Yakuza Kiwami (completed 2018-07-01)✅ Yakuza 0 (completed 2018-10-22)✅ Yakuza Kiwami 2 (completed 2019-01-21)🈺 Yakuza 6 (to begin playing shortly)
(I actually played through some other games in this time as well. I have been playing a LOT of games this year actually? mix of gf on evening shifts + me having money + me not doing normal adult shit = couch time and games for me! beat far cry 5, horizon zero dawn, super mario odyssey, almost beat valkyria 4, prey, and put in serious time on octopath). Also have God of War on tap, and more Octopath, and Rise of the Tomb Raider (the second one I think?), and Uncharted Lost Legacy, and Murdered Soul Suspect... just have to resist the temptation to play Yakuza 6 now instead of some of the other stuff.

kiwami 1 finally coming out on pc next month, maybe i'll clear enough of my backlog by then to justify buying another game
― ciderpress, Thursday, 24 January 2019 22:01 (five years ago) link
we should have run a clear your backlog challenge on ILG or one of those 'one-out-one-in five slot challenges'
― ||||||||, Thursday, 24 January 2019 22:03 (five years ago) link
basic rules tend to be:
- you have 5 slots- getting a game consumes a slot- ‘get’ includes: new purchases, rentals, loans, double-dips, gifts, DLC, freebies, F2P, and anything installed from backlog after a certain date- when you ‘finish’ the game - which might mean different things for different games - you get a slot back - the game remains in the slot until 'finished'- if you exceed your 5 slots in the calendar year of our lord 2019 then you lose and don't get into heaven and have to go hang out on the botw thread with josh who is not actually playing botw but is weighing cauliflowers instead

good way of backlog/spending management
Re finishing games I am radically committed to only playing games until the moment they stop being fun
― Mordy, Thursday, 24 January 2019 22:15 (five years ago) link
Sometimes that’s the length of the game but not very often
― Mordy, Thursday, 24 January 2019 22:16 (five years ago) link
Yeah, same here
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 24 January 2019 22:17 (five years ago) link
valid valid. guess I've seen this done on other forums where ppl have had issues with compulsively buying either (i) that new new or (ii) swathes of very cheap games (that will never get played) from steam sales
― ||||||||, Thursday, 24 January 2019 22:20 (five years ago) link
100% nobody should feel forced to play something beyond when it's fun!
i feel like i already have this five-games-max thing and it's called "the playstation 4's 500gb hard drive combined with my shitty 6mbps internet connection"
(but yes i am in)

What happens when you give up on a game without beating it?
― Oleeever St. John Yogurty (Leee), Thursday, 24 January 2019 23:01 (five years ago) link
one ball/ovary shrinks temporarily until you forge ahead and complete the game

im not gonna start anything new until i get back down to my usual rule of 1 PC slot 1 handheld slot 1 wild card slot that i flagrantly broke
― ciderpress, Thursday, 24 January 2019 23:37 (five years ago) link
i like this idea
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 25 January 2019 20:26 (five years ago) link
I'm ok with my gametes atrophying but I'm unsure about not getting a slot back if I've given up on playing a game.
― Oleeever St. John Yogurty (Leee), Friday, 25 January 2019 21:19 (five years ago) link
i'll do the 5 slot challenge thing if its just 2019 purchases/touches and games i bought last year but havent touched get grandfathered out until i do

Trying to complete far cry 2 for the past 6 years
― calstars, Saturday, 26 January 2019 22:08 (five years ago) link
I kind of regret not finishing a bazillion games. Particularly one where I think I defeated the final boss.
― ٩༼ º෴º ༽۶ (FlopsyDuck), Sunday, 27 January 2019 00:01 (five years ago) link
the night before i left home for college for the first time i made it to the final save block of paper mario: the thousand year door just before the final boss and then fell asleep and never finished the game since i didn't own a tv for the next several years and forgot about it when i was at my parents place
someday i'll replay the game and finish it for real, it's one of my favorite games of all time
― ciderpress, Sunday, 27 January 2019 00:12 (five years ago) link
- working my way through the cups in MK8- tidying up some of the end game in hollow knight- still early into dead cells- might pick up botw again to mill about clearing stuff in the end-game- got into the breach sat waiting, digital edition still in its shrink-wrap
― ||||||||, Sunday, 27 January 2019 17:58 (five years ago) link
that's my nintendo switch collection right there (plus super mario odyssey, less into the breach (which i have on mac))
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 27 January 2019 18:09 (five years ago) link
The Missing, that indie puzzle-platformer from Swery65 of Deadly Premonition fame. it's like Limbo/Inside but a lot more uncomfortable to play because of the self-dismemberment mechanic
Heartbeat, a cutesy rpgmaker game with a kinda similar vibe to the old game boy pokemon games

Played Dead Cells into the wee hours, yes this is very compulsive game.

I was one misthrown freeze bomb away from beating the first boss on my third time facing him, and then I spent the next 2 hours dying stupidly trying to reach him quickly.

I've gone back to playing Darkest Dungeon, and I got the DLC cheap.

crosscode got really intense suddenly and I'm into it again. i guess the second dungeon was just a big speedbump

would you recommend buying a bittboy?

my jerk reaction is that that looks uncomfortable to use for games that need the shoulder buttons
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 16:02 (five years ago) link
ds/3ds are already a bit uncomfortable despite being much wider than that
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 29 January 2019 16:03 (five years ago) link
They're not expensive - $40. Really depends on whether you have lots of time on buses etc. where you could make use of it.

This thing doesn't have shoulder buttons?
I think there are dozens of similar little things out there now though, in various form factors. Agree this looks too fiddly tbh but there are others which are closer to GBA size and layout, which might be better options.

Though I guess really the best way to do something like this would be to jailbreak my vita.

Nhex have you ever heard of an extremely sought after, limited release console called Ouya? What if I told you I have one that is practically brand new?
