Yeah, the app is nice. And I agree about just opening the packs. That’s the main attraction for me, though I still do a few battles here and there.

Ahan, that’s interesting.

It’s fun for casual Pokémon TCG fans, but didn’t know if someone who has been in TCG scene for a while will enjoy it or not. So, good to see you liking it.

I just play it once or twice a day, so am very casual.

Ah okay. Thanks for the info!

How long did it take you to finish the game?

Nice. Good to know exploration eventually becomes fun.

Are there any side quests etc. that you can miss out by not exploring? Or just some random chests and stuff?

There’s a PlayStation blog post about details too: https://blog.playstation.com/2024/11/12/sea-of-stars-dawn-of-equinox-devs-deep-dive-into-3-player-co-op-and-combat-2-0-live-today/

I haven’t been gaming on PC for a long time so stopped following it, but from what I recall, they changed that.

They officially changed their name to “GOG”, previously it was same but it stood for Good Old Gaming, they removed that part. Also, they started focusing on getting newer games. I am typing this from memory, so it’s possible that it isn’t exactly correct, but that’s what I recall.

It seems they are going back to their roots. Maybe because they need competitive edge to stay in market, or maybe they actually care about these things, who knows.

Nice. Hades is a great game. Have also heard great things about Oxenfree games, though haven’t gotten around to playing them yet. They are on Netflix so may just play them there.

I don’t have too many memories of Atari either, but I do recall playing some when I was very young, so could be interesting.

Heh, nice. Keep enjoying it!

Oh cool, Atari anniversary was in my wishlist, but I am kinda 50/50 on it. Never even heard of Llamasoft game, will check it out.

I watched the video about Tetris Forever, they did some fun things with (local?) multiplayer. Well, at least it looked fun in the trailer, don’t know how fun it is when actually playing it.

Retrorealms game look pretty good. Hope they release more such games.

Watched your video essay! I was hoping for a more cheerful video about how great Puyo Puyo is, this wasn’t that!

I am one of those people who got Puyo Puyo Tetris because of Tetris (played demo with my wife for a long time, then bought it one day), and while I played some Puyo Puyo, and was able to make simple chains, I wasn’t very good at it, and since my wife preferred Tetris, we mostly just played that. I did play some of the campaign too, but then got busy with other stuff, wanted to get back to it, but never got around to it.

When I reached the Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop part, I thought, this looks nice, why haven’t I heard of it. It might be cool to try a Puyo Puyo single-player game and see if I can get into it. Then you explained why I haven’t heard of it…

Well, let’s hope Sega makes a nice Puyo Puyo game with both a good single player mode / campaign and a multiplayer / competitive mode. Would love to try it out, if they do.

Ah, well, will take a look at some performance videos and decide where to get it. Thanks for the info!

OCD doesn’t let me progress without checking every corner of the map first. 😅

lol, I can understand, that’s the most basic thing in RPG, always go everywhere except where you have to go first.

I still have to watch that essay, still have it open in a tab!

Oooh, back to P4G! Depending on how long it has been, and where you left off, might be better to just start again.

Oooh nice! How is Diablo 4 now? Last I heard people weren’t happy with the latest changes they made, are things better now?

Heh, I am the same, no matter how much I am liking the game, once I have finished the game, my motivation for side content drops very quickly.

I don’t care too much about reaching 100%, as long as I have covered most of the stuff, it’s cool. If you are going to leave the game anyway, might as well finish it!

Nice work on the guide! Very succinct and to the point. Exactly what I look for when I just want to see specific ending (or get specific trophy).

Hope they fix the sea exploration, but the game has been out in Japan for a while, so I doubt there would be any changes to gameplay now.

How was Ys IX’s performance? I played VIII on switch and loved it, but I was wondering if I should get IX on PS5 instead, to get better performance, though I like to play longer / JRPG-ish games on Switch, can play more that way.

Yeah, that’s generally my plan too. I stick it to a while, but then for some reason end up starting multiple games and end up like now 😀

Good luck with the DLCs.

Oh yeah, loved the game. I think I got a platinum for it. Haven’t played the remake yet though, but it’s in my backlog.

As others have said the game is not perfect, it was initially supposed to be an MMORPG but then they changed it to a single player game, also there was some drama with the studio that was making it, got bankrupt making it. Maybe if they had more time / money they could’ve improved it even more.

Also, it was written by the fantasy author R. A. Salvatore.
