Hey, 200+ hour sts player here! Two nitpicks: one, you do get bonus points for playing fast! At the end, there are two bonuses, Speedster and Light Speed, that give you a higher score if you beat the game in under 60 or 45 minutes, respectively. And two, for some enemies playing quickly is actually really important, at least in terms of how quickly you can get your engine moving relative to an enemy’s scaling; later run enemies can quickly outscale you if your deck is bloated, especially on higher ascensions. I’m so glad everyone’s playing this though!!
@Magician I don’t know exactly what you’re referring to by asset flips, but I know personally that two of the games (post void and completely stretchy) are very cool, fun, and original games, not asset flips - I’d assume the rest would be the same.
I got one of these, and from what I can tell from the rumblings on the discord server, it’s not yet confirmed to be fortnite. Bethesda did a promotion with iam8bit for e3 in the past, so it could possibly be an campaign for starfield. Additionally, I can confirm that the Mistborn series of books has nothing to do with aliens, though adding Kelsier to the game is a rather odd choice.
@onex Hey, uh, hollow knight came out last year so that's why it isn't here. Celeste is great and really deserving of the win though! Edit: shoot sorry, I didn't see that someone had already answered you.
@bimmy-lee It doesn’t really seem like that’s gonna happen at this point. Howeverr, there are many many other reviews from other sites though and I can personally tell you that it is quite good
@Nehalem The game has been out since the spring so you can already see what people think! As someone who's played it, I can attest that its good. It's like chess with giant robots.
@Orangezap89 I’ve played 90 hours and beaten 4 of the 6 pasts. I thought killing dragun the first time was the end of the game but it was just the beginning
@NEStalgia Oh yea! That was a fun time wasn’t it? I got copious amounts of money, you got to sail around aimlessly for hours on end.........good times........
“We didn’t kidnap Mr. Sakurai or anything. Definitely not. Why would you even think that? Who even mentioned kidnapping? I didn’t.” Bill stares intensely into the interviewer’s eyes
I recently picked up mgs: snake eater 3D for my 3ds and a circle pad pro, so I’ll be blundering around a jungle this weekend. Aside from that, I still need to play the octopath prelude demo and Hollow Knight. Perhaps I’ll even finish my placements in Overwatch

Re: Random: Japanese Café Introduces Limited-Time Only Ace Attorney-Themed Menu
1. It’s interesting that they only selected characters from the original trilogy and Apollo Justice, rather than the most recent games
2. I’m deeply upset that there’s not a Gumshoe themed item; you could serve customers a bag of raw, dirt cheap noodles!

Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 6.0.1 Is Now Live
It will stabilize my switch, but will it stabilize my life?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 6th)
I’m playing Wandersong! It’s really good!
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 6.0.0 Is Now Live
Yup. Those sure are NES games. Yessiree. But sarcasm aside, it is impressive how fast they load. And they play like NES games

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 1st)

Too much gungeon. Unhealthy amounts of gungeon

@clvr I didn’t know I had fans. I thought the general consensus was that I was a creepy weirdo. Thanks!
Re: Tingle Was Going To Star In A Horror Game Until It Got Axed And Replaced By Dillon’s Rolling Western
@MattFox I’m not evil! Just misunderstood. And perhaps a little bit nefarious.
Re: Tingle Was Going To Star In A Horror Game Until It Got Axed And Replaced By Dillon’s Rolling Western
@NEStalgia I’d beat everyone
Re: Tingle Was Going To Star In A Horror Game Until It Got Axed And Replaced By Dillon’s Rolling Western

Re: Tingle Was Going To Star In A Horror Game Until It Got Axed And Replaced By Dillon’s Rolling Western

Hollow Knight, ACNL, and maybe a pinch of splatoon for me.
