It was short but sweet. Don’t forget to sing during the credits, it does cool stuff.

Heather, you did absolutely awesome, no need for apologies. Cool game, thanks for sharing! Read more

This was awesome and you don’t have to apologize, your singing was easily tolerated, that guns and roses at the end was funny though. Game is way too short! Maybe for right now it’s a matter of trying to outmatch yourself, maybe since it’s so short right now they should add a tracker thing that let’s you know how well Read more

My partner has absolute pitch, so I’m thinking it’s time to start practicing for a speed run. Read more

Mafia III was a super under-developed game but I’ll be damned if they didn’t care about the narrative and the setting. The game did a pretty good job of handling the racial tension from the period, and unlike most games avoided the issue many pieces of media run into where they’re forcing in the occasional slur not Read more

Speaking of video games with good dodges...

This is my first time watching GamesDoneQuick marathon, and I’m totally hooked. It’s so well done, but such an amateur production at the same time...making it perfect. No one takes themselves too seriously, but at the same time, it’s executed so well. Read more

Just watched the whole Cuphead run. It was great, thanks for the heads up! I just beat it a few weeks ago so this was the perfect time to learn all the tricks and glitches I had absolutely no awareness of. Read more

I think the forges are the best thing the game brings to the table. They force encounters, and punish turtling. And requiring a kill to forge your class weapon just encourages this even more. Read more

While I didn’t watch your stream, I watched the recording. I thought it was very pleasant, the side information of the creator, the additional story commentary, the analysis of the music, and some info about yourself. Your voice is very soothing to listen to, a little lighter and it would be ASMR. I say this because I Read more

Thanks for mentioning LSD! That was my first thought as well, but I couldn’t remember the title of that weird ass game. Read more

Personally I’ve been liking the intentionally low-polygon approach to graphics in certain indie games for a while. I first picked it up in the Grow Up/Grow Home duo that made them feel like the Spyro the Dragon games, and most recently with Horizon Chase Turbo(‘s backgrounds).

I still enjoy this game and have been really enjoying these events. I can understand peoples gripes with them, but to me it’s exactly how you phrased it. After a long day I find it very relaxing to make some hot tea, join a friends crew for a voyage or two and shoot the shit (figuratively and literally)  Read more

I really love this game. It’s not perfect as far as games go, but there is something to be said for logging in, choosing a solo sloop, and just relaxing on the open ocean. The ship, and water animations are just stunning. Do I wish there was more to do? Of course! Nor am I a huge fan of the need to find an extra Read more

The issue with this is similar to that which faced the Meg: after a few days and the majority of people have collected the rewards for doing said event, it is back to business as normal. Read more

Hells yeah! I taught my boyfriend how to play back in Monster Hunter Tri and what an experience that was. The hardest part was for him to settle on a weapon, but now I have a hunting partner for life. Read more

When Monster Hunter World first came out, I joined a Discord server called “adopt a hunter” that paired me with a player that was new to the series. Taking them on hunts and giving advice and encouragement was way fun! https://adoptahunter.org/ Read more

I don’t think they forgot it’s “satire,” I think they just forgot satire involves criticism and not just goofy hijinks Read more
