Varyag

The last few years of remasters have amazed me with how much they HAVEN’T added emulator features even when the game is blatantly being emulated. Some of them miss save states or practice modes (particularly shmups) or proper key rebinding on the controller. I have 6x more buttons than the game originally needed, let me actually use them.

I also don’t preorder, and I DO buy basically all FromSoft games on release because I know they’ll be bangers. But I’ve been burned before with Dark Souls 3 suddenly increasing in price by 50% in my region right before launch. I’m torn. I guess I’ll wait and see, again.

Yeah, honestly the only thing I’d still check regularly on Reddit is NCD. Glad we’re actually making an attempt to movehere.

Gundam Battle Operation 2. Wanted to see if they fixed the matchmaking, and it’s not as bad now.
Chunky heavy robots is my jam but the netcode is terrible…

Ah yes, cause the problem by promoting SEO websites with machine generated content, then sell the solution! Splendid!

Honestly I never even knew people didn’t like this term, wtf. It properly conveys the idea of an old-fashioned FPS game, with basic 3D graphics, many times based on 2D sprites. Me and all my friends play them, and we love them, and we all call it “Boomer Shooter”.

How’s the dpad and sticks on that thing, and how does it handle arcade and Saturn emulation? Those are kinds of games I’d really like to have in a handheld with this thing.

You should try out Omega Strikers! It’s free to play, but it’s done right imo. Very fun game of ball, 3v3 air hockey with anime characters. I’m usually super averse to PvP games and ranked modes, but even I’m trying to climb the ranked ladder in this one, it’s so much fun.

Mint chip, all the way!

Also asking how to find them, for my friend. The friend, is me.

Is it already that time of the week? Well, I’m still playing BOTW, Dead Cells on my Switch, Dawn of War Unification mod on the PC, and some Omega Strikers on the side, slowly climbing the ranked ladder. I’m thinking I can make Gold rank before the end of the season.
Also taking a moment to get back into shmups, I popped onto Mushihimesama and Dodonpachi yesterday and I wiped before even the third bosses, I’m super rusty.

I’m already not using Twitch much at all because of that. Even with an ad-blocking extension on the browser, it’s an awful and infuriating experience. You can see how frequent and how long the ad breaks are even through the adblocking. When I use it on my phone that has no blocking, it’s just… I click a random stream to see what the streamer is doing and I get locked into 3 minutes of ads before I can even see that. I usually just back out and close the app when that happens.

Good thing I switched to Firefox, then!

I am prepared to pirate every single game I bought on that platform if that comes to happen =/
