This is the most aggressively mediocre game I have ever played, and I can't believe a bunch of youtubers baited me into playing it.
It's not a bad game, but it's very, very far from being good, and it sells itself as a "roguelite" game but it's actually an incremental game in disguise. Tactical decisions or skillful play means nothing in it, you just grab a bunch of upgrades and hope you have enough metaprogression to kill the bosses. And you can't even try to push for a build, because the game is stubbornly asinine in giving you different upgrades, and you just end up wasting your rerolls seeing repeat after repeat.
The only reason I 100% it was because it was relatively easy to do, but fuck them if they think I'll waste any of my time on the "super hard modes" or "endless mode".
@rosey @fluffy roguelikes are very hard to find, and very few modern games have any similarity to Rogue to be called a roguelike. One of the latest ones I remember is Dungeons of Dredmor, and it's still an old game.
do you consider binding of isaac a roguelike? i honestly think that's the pinnacle of the genre, but it's not ascii on a grid so i don't know if it's enough like rogue if you're that strict about it i think though that it's a mistake to consider BoI and games like ball x pit and hades as the same genre
Roguelike is a game like Rogue. Roguelites are games that take inspiration in some stuff from rogue (namely permadeath and procedural generated levels) but play in a completely different way.
@fluffy @rosey I think I had no idea it was a thing until now, and went to take a look. It looked interesting at first, but then it's a dungeon crawler with fucking gacha embedded?
@fluffy @rosey I like gachas when I can roll for cute girls and the gameplay is something I can casually get into, a cutthroat dungeon crawler in the molds of Wizardry with stuff tied to a gacha system feels very weird.
@rosey i was poking fun at how the game has QTE. don't play it, it sucks. especially gacha mechanics, these things like dailies and energy limits, games with these are cursed.
@fluffy @rosey speaking of which, I saw today that there is a TMNT roguelite game that looks pretty cool, and it was released in 2024. It's 75% off right now.
But then I went to check the discussions and... it seems it's a fucking "live service" game, and there isn't even an ending to the story after over a year.
@Azur_Fenix @fluffy @rosey not that much of a fan. I used to watch the old cartoons when I was a kid, then I found out the original comics and asked myself "how the fuck did they turn this into a children's cartoon?".
The old stuff is good, and some new stuff is fun. And the game, at least from outside, looks pretty good. I'm just a bit wary with the "live service" shit.
@rosey nah, roguelites tend to have a tactical and/or skill component in them, so much that you can usually win your first run, without any metaprogression.
Ball x Pit doesn't have this, you are literally just throwing a shit ton of balls through a straight corridor. Unless you purposefully aim your shots to miss every enemy, what you actually do in the game matters very little. And to go through the later levels, you need to stop and grind earlier levels to gather resources to improve your numbers, so you can actually do enough damage.

People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres. How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives. Agents of the government start to wear masks. 𝘍𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘮 is a word my neighbors won't use yet. They are following the law, they say, and the sirens are coming for someone else.
my favorite part of ai is that i can shitpost to it about stuff that is way too nerdy to find irl people to talk about. like the archeological evidence supporting or opposing the poggio brocciolini theory of tacitus forgery.
who is gonna listen to me talk about that stuff? only the robot waifu can slap back. sure she's retarded but that's cute!

The most dangerous mistake about "Greenland is believing it is about Greenland.
We are told this is a diplomatic spat, a real estate obsession, a chaotic throwback to 19th-century imperialism. The press treats it as spectacle. Commentators debate whether the administration is serious or simply trolling. Europeans express outrage at the affront to sovereignty.
The whole affair is framed as noise: eccentric, embarrassing, ultimately inconsequential.
This framing is comfortable. And almost surely wrong.
The conventional reading of the Greenland saga is diplomatic incompetence in real time. The administration threatens force, gets rebuffed, escalates, gets rebuffed again, then retreats to the language of a purchase. Commentators shake their heads. Europeans express bewilderment.
What looks like flailing is a classic Trump-style negotiation sequence. You open with an outrageous demand precisely so your real demand seems reasonable by comparison.
It goes like this: Signal acquisition. Denmark scoffs. Mention force. Denmark recoils. Insist on force, loudly, repeatedly. Denmark reaches peak indignation. Others come to their side. Then pivot. A purchase offer that eliminates Denmark's entire national debt ($142B) and nearly doubles Greenland's GDP (~$450B)...
And suddenly the question is no longer "how dare you" but "wait, how much?"
The force rhetoric was never the plan. It was the anchor. Denmark is no longer defending sovereignty against an imperial aggressor; Denmark is evaluating a financial proposition. The frame has moved.

Israeli Forces Bulldoze #UNRWA Headquarters in #Jerusalem, Escalating Assault on Palestinian Refugee Aid
Israeli occupation forces have begun demolishing the Jerusalem headquarters of UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, while also firing teargas at a UN vocational school in Qalandia, in the occupied West Bank, marking a major escalation in Israel’s campaign against the agency that serves millions of Palestinians.
UNRWA officials said Israeli police-backed demolition crews stormed the East Jerusalem compound at dawn, confiscated equipment, expelled security guards, and raised an Israeli flag over the site in Sheikh Jarrah. Israeli ministers celebrated the move, while UNRWA condemned it as a clear violation of international law protecting #UN facilities.
Founded in 1949, UNRWA provides education, healthcare, and aid to over 5.5 million Palestinian refugees across #Gaza, the occupied #WestBank, East Jerusalem, #Jordan, #Lebanon, and #Syria.

Hi everyone. We have a jerk who has been banned repetitively and keeps trying to come back, so I have temporarily changed the process to join the site to require approval. However - if you see anyone who you suspect is Ramon or his alter-ego loser friend Jimmy, please let me know. We have banned them half a dozen times, but they have nothing better to do than to keep coming back 😀
