Splatoon 1 actually had local multiplayer - it was 2-player only, but for those of us with kids, it was good enough. Split screen multiplayer in Splatoon 2/3 would’ve been great.
Pretty much nothing you said is true, it was not “designed from the ground up to be frustrating” and the other statements are too vague to even bother attacking. “Not even wrong” is the phrase that comes to mind.
You didn’t even mention an example of a game which would count as “something good”.
Thank you! I hadn’t heard of Qanba before - they definitely have some interesting joysticks.
I’m not into feet specifically, but when I ask for “Veronica Mars in a string bikini” I don’t want to get “Veronica Mars with unattached toes.” It’s distracting AF.
Doesn’t happen with real models, or even human-made hentai.
The tech isn’t there yet. There are so often distracting flaws around the hands/feet. The AI doesn’t really know what a human is, its just endlessly re-combining existing material.
My lifehack: block every community with “memes” in its name. You’ll see far fewer memes in general, and be less aggravated when one does show up!
I put the Nix package manager on my Deck and use it for software development. You definitely want a BlueTooth keyboard to use it this way.
I have my copy! Only made it through the prologue since work+family limits my gaming time, but I like it so far!
Nice! I will admit to not having played many Survival Rogues so they’re not prominent in my thinking, so I’m glad you mentioned them.
The fact that you can say “rougelike card games”, and we all know exactly what you mean, is precisely why we should name that genre. There are plenty of folks who want to seek out roguelikes and not be inundated with Slay The Spire clones. (I like them just fine, personally.)
FTL is what I’d call an Action Rogue, even though it’s pausable (and actually a lot, maybe all, Action Rogues are pausable).
I haven’t played The PIT - I need to look it up.
The idea of classifying based on progression is one of the most important ideas here, you’re right about that. But I also want to capture the idea that the core gameplay itself - grid combat, real-time, cards, JRPG-style battle screens, whatever - is important.
Dragon Quest IV has all the ingredients of a fine 16-bit RPG: multiple playable story characters with unique personalities, a plot with twists and turns, minigames, and a fairly unique villain with human motives.
Somehow, they made it work on the original NES, before 16-bit RPGs were even a thing.
Destructoid was so good for so long. Between this and the fact that they started to bug me about my ad blocker, it’s time for me to stop giving them views.
It’s more “which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg”. It’s a useful phrase to describe a situation where two things necessarily depend on each other. Chickens must come from chicken eggs, and chicken eggs must come from chickens, and one had to precede the other.
(In the actual case of chickens, it can be resolved easily - by defining “chicken egg” as either an egg laid by a chicken or an egg which contains a chicken, you will obviously and quickly draw a conclusion.)
One of my favorite games of all time, despite being relatively recent. The exploration and movement are just so much fun!
Law enforcement has been collecting fingerprints for over 100 years now, and the history of using fingerprints for other reasons goes even further back.
The error here is that we decided to start using an easily obtainable piece of data as a “lock” on our phones and computers. For many reasons, it’s better to use a password or PIN.
