I love this sort of art style

Hopefully they stay safe

Poor kittie, but very cute.

Sounds like she’s in good hands :)

That shot looks like a cross between a lemur and a langur type monkey xD

I imagine Helldivers would have seen a drop of in active players, but I imagine that was exacerbated by the PSN account requirement.

That was a fairly large PR disaster for Sony.

I didn’t know Waze was owned by Google either. Since 2013 as well…

I can see where you’re coming from and I agree at times it feels like it’s being used for the marketing since it’s easier to say, using the article as an example, “Bullfrog-like”. They could have taken an extra moment to be a bit more descriptive, such as with your example, and say “Management Sim inspired by Theme Hospital/Bullfrog”, for people who may not be familiar with “Theme Hospital” or a Bullfrog game.

Just to circle back to your initial comment, “I got to the word “Bullfroglike” and stopped reading”, I can definitely see where you are coming from, but I did disagree with your approach.

I also just wanted to add that I hope this isn’t taken as an attack upon yourself.

I do like the alliteration for “Boomer Shooter” but I don’t think it’s the right demographic xD. I think it’s still somewhat common, but I also don’t think it’s as mainstream as say your Battlefield or CoD.

RetroSlayer FPS? I have no idea, lol

I do take your point and it’s a fair criticism. It can almost feel like a marketing ploy to piggyback off of the popularity of another game, such as Stardew Valley-like, considering a lot of the time those games have since developed a genre, like for FPS instead of Doom-like.

I would also add, though, that using Doom-like/Doom-lite would still be appropriate to define games that are closer to a Doom type game than your CoD or Counter Strike. You could make a similar argument for the style of play Stardew Valley offers compared to literally Farming Simulator 20XX.

But you could also argue it gives the reader/consumer a quicker understanding of what to expect from the game. Especially in the case of this article where there isn’t a way to clearly define/ label what to excpet from the game.

I like the idea to counteract the grogginess of the sleeping tablet, but I lack the knowledge to know if that would work.

I’m guessing it would have been digested by then, right?

I would love this so much right now…

This was my thought process as well.

I did consider whether making good art could help fund other global issues, but I think there’s too many variables. Whereas being able to make it rain would have an arguably more immediate impact.

Can we also control when to turn it off? xD

The Finals is a nice arcade-y feeling FPS.

I don’t feel like I’m very good with it either, but I still enjoy it. It’s a strange feeling, lol

I’ve also been meaning to get back into Minecraft…

I have sunk a lot of time i to Baldurs Gate 3 over the last couple of weeks.

Man, what a game.

I think it might be the best RPG I’ve ever played. But I’m struggling to place it amongst others I grew up playing, like Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect, SWKotOR…

I 2nd this. I was playing CS 1.6 around that age. Although lootboxes weren’t a thing back then and you could download and use your own skins from sites like gamebanana and have custom sprays…

Sometimes, I miss the older days. Just with better internet.

I get that too. It’s a flaw of my character, I guess, that stems from past experience on other social media platforms I’ve used throughout my life.

But, I’ve been trying, but probably not as much as I could…
