  • That’s the exact opposite of my experience, souls-like require you to have a large chunk of time to put into the. Just looking at dark souls: you can be far away from a bonfire, have no idea where the next one is, dying means losing most progress, and you can’t pause.

    Also, when facing bosses, taking a break in between can reset your rythmn meaning you lose some momentum if you put the game down.

    Dark souls games can definitely be fun, but I think rouge lites are better for a pick up and play mentality since runs will range from 15-45mins typically (depending on the game).





  • It’s probably better to read the synopsis online, but from what I recall the general plot is: >!Humans are forced to live underground, kid finds this spiral key which can be used to control mechs, they use mechs to free humans and take back earth, the eventually find out there is an evil force that caused this all, they fight the moon (which turns into a mech) and then have some space battles.!<








  • I thought TOTK was worse cause now you’re also managing the parts inventory. It was so frustrating to get to certain places and find out you didn’t have the necessary parts (like a glider) to do certain things.

    I even ended up using duplication glitches to skip resource scavgening and I still felt like I ended up wasting half the game managing my inventory.


  • I agree with you, it’s a decent open world game but a pretty mediocre Zelda game. I had hoped TOTK might improve upon the direction they chose to take the series, but it kinda doubles down on all the weaker points of BOTW (uninspired “dungeons”, more one-time use resources, etc.).

    I think my biggest gripe with TOTK and Echoes of Wisdom is that you can solve 90% of the “puzzles” with one or two techniques. There isn’t a lot of critical thinking needed when you can use things like the rocket to just skip most of the puzzle and similarly I think I solved a majority of the puzzles in Echoes of Time using the bed echo.


  • That’s a fair call out. My comment about systemic issues was to address the fact that it’s somewhat unfair to compare apples and oranges. So when I said the economy was doing well under Biden, I meant in regards to the current systems in place in the US.

    That being said, the economy is generally measured in how productive the country is. If the economy is doing good, then generally we have lots of people producing lots of things. That doesn’t mean we’re producing the right things though, as that comes down more to policy and public sentiment/behavior.
