The obscure videogame subreddits are what I miss the most. Made one here on lemmy for a game I love and only one other person has commented since July.

Might take mine to the movie theater later tonight when I go see Scream. Hopefully tonight I’ll get one street pass. Only person I got from the Mario movie on opening night was my friend next to me.

It’s the same article from 5 days ago

Holy crap I was trying to figure out why Sam Cole’s VA sounded so familiar. Thanks for helping me finally figure out why lol

Gave the game another try after the update and I’m actually enjoying it now. Gotten to the 2nd map and there are a ton of enemies fighting everywhere now. They really did increase the amount of NPCs you see around the map.

Wanted something moody/dark to play during October and this has scratched that itch.

Only played solo but I’d rate it as a 6.5/10 now. The original version would be like a 5/10 to me.

I found gameplay on YouTube and it’s some of the worst looking gameplay I’ve seen in a game for a while lol. The first 4 minutes is all you need to know.

You might enjoy Alan Wake 1 but the controls aren’t for everyone. I absolutely loved it all the times I played but my friend couldn’t stand the combat.

The story is very mysterious and I can’t recall any gore at all in the game. The only kind of jump scares I can recall were from the combat when I didn’t notice an enemy snuck up on me. It’s something more easily manageable if you play on the easier difficulty as there is less of a threat.

The plot is really fucking great and has some of my favorite narration in a game. And it has a type of Eldritch horror story to it. You’ve probably already experienced it in that Alan Wake dlc for Control. You don’t have to deal with it in Alan Wake like you did in Control.

Thankfully it isn’t hard to remove with ublock origin. Just enter Element picker mode and select the pop up to remove it. Then do the same for the greyed out background & it’ll work normally.

Yup! There was a secret door you had to find in the first mission to continue. It was on the top right side of rectangular room.

There was also a secret GPS you can find in a mission before the desert one. It would let you know exactly where you were in the full desert map so you wouldn’t be lost.

I had so much playing that game.

James Bond 007 was one of my favorite Gameboy games.

I spent countless hours as a 4 year old trying to solve the puzzles and got through it by sheer determination.

I can still probably remember every path in the desert mission.

It’s a shame this game & it’s sequel have been unavailable for purchase for so damn long.

Thank god for abandonware websites

Here’s a direct link to the trailer since that website had a full size pop up that wouldn’t close for me on mobile.

That was a great film trilogy. Definitely on my list for stuff to watch again this month

You can tell when there are black marks across all the kimchi that weren’t there a week ago.

Still going to go buy a new jar whenever I test negative. I’ve been craving it badly.

It’s definitely not over dude.

I caught it after one person infected over a dozen people at a birthday party last week.

I spent over two days locked to a couch unable to handle any food with a 104 fever and now I’m mostly just dealing with the leftover sinus & upper respiratory infection it caused.

And this is honestly one of the first covid posts I’ve seen here in a bit. No idea what you are talking about.

Thanks! I’m doing better since Saturday for sure. Only really have a sinus infection still but two more days of antibiotics will clear everything up for sure.

Definitely would take another sore arm over a week of this.

Definitely need to get my flu shot too so thanks for that reminder. When I test negative again I will try and get both.

Also just learned if I try blowing through my right nostril hard enough, I can blow air out of my left eye sinus passage. Covid has been a gift that keeps on giving.

Aw man I hope the respiratory issues improve for you. This new strain really has been hard for people.

Be sure to get the new booster. I delayed getting it by a week and tested positive Saturday morning. Sinus + Upper Respiratory infection has been a fun thing to experience lmao.

Worst part so far was last night when I couldn’t tell I was eating expired kimchi until I took a closer look. Lack of smell or taste can be tricky lol.

I miss my PS4 because you could install a PS2 theme that came with the sounds

Sucks you can’t change it on PS5 yet.
