whatchu playing now

What happens when you give up on a game without beating it?

one ball/ovary shrinks temporarily until you forge ahead and complete the game

i have more than 5 games in progress let alone in my backlog

intervention

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

i like this idea

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.

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

I kind of regret not finishing a bazillion games. Particularly one where I think I defeated the final boss.

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

- 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

that's my nintendo switch collection right there (plus super mario odyssey, less into the breach (which i have on mac))

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

just finishing spidey and going to go THE FUCK IN on life is strange pt II

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

Obra Dinn rules so far.

bouncing back and forth between dead cells and banner saga pt 2. celeste's b-sides defeated me rather quickly

Just got a Bittboy https://youtu.be/F5JMjsZR-WY so I'm replaying Earthbound.

would you recommend buying a bittboy?

buttboy

my jerk reaction is that that looks uncomfortable to use for games that need the shoulder buttons

ds/3ds are already a bit uncomfortable despite being much wider than that

They're not expensive - $40. Really depends on whether you have lots of time on buses etc. where you could make use of it.

ugh another stupid ass doodad I will never use and now really want

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

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.

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?

nhex I can sell you a pono

i would take a pono over the ouya. three way trade?

*listens to crystal clear prestine quality audience bootleg of crazy horse*

lol stop, you bastards

oh whoops lol. i assumed it does the way the guy in the vid was holding it and bc the snes does

vita has the comfiest handheld form factor by far

wait - dowd - this thing does SNES too?

yeah i thought batboy was nes and gameboy?

batboy lol

how does that thing work for big thumbs? i feel like i would try to press B and right at the same time and i would end up stomping one of my thumbs with my other thumb

No, just NES and gameboy. I'm playing Mother/earthbound zero/earthbound beginnings.

just played through AC Unity...sad to say that I agree it's not a good game, because I love the setting so much (I mean, I left a life behind to move here), but they barely set anything in the Rive Gauche! it's built as beautifully as the Rive Droite but the main story hardly steps there and even the dumb side missions there are sparse. I hate it when games do this, but AC games seem often to run out of steam at the end & leave big chunks of the map unused (Venice was this way in AC 2 for instance). such a drag because the Rive Gauche would have offered so much beauty. It was great to climb the windows of my work place too!

I already bought Syndicate and Origins so I'm not done with the series, but dang what a lost opportunity.

syndicate is the one where i wanted it to be good bc of the setting but the word of mouth was so bad that i never touched it

I’m gonna play Yakuza 0 next. setting is everything to me these days.

I've bought Elite Dangerous because it dipped below £5, though I'm fully expecting the base game to be almost pointless given that it's had years worth of expansion content added since launch. On the other hand I also don't expect it to hold my attention long enough for me to feel like I'm missing out if I don't have access to all the endgame stuff, I'm just looking to fly around and bit and buy and sell some ores really.

xp good choice
