FYI: c/metroidvanias

Love both, and very excited for their next game, No Rest for the Wicked - which I don’t know if it’s been said explicitly, but is rumored to also be a Metroidvania.

I know it might be a little cliché, but I would still rank Hollow Knight as my #1 Metroidvania, but these two are my #2A and #2B, even after loving the new Prince of Persia. The level of polish is incredible and Wisps just cranked it up even more.

I enjoyed the video the IGN posted about them yesterday.

I don’t know, but I have a feeling it doesn’t. He just pushed a blog post on it and I’m reading it now

They have private/internal APIs that they get grumpy at you for using because you can circumvent ads. The goal with this app was to not make Google grumpy.

EDIT: got to the answer - no.

Does it block ads? It doesn’t, I don’t think Google would like that, but if you have YouTube Premium you won’t see ads, just like the website. Honestly, YouTube Premium is like one of the most essential subscriptions for me, it’s so handy to never worry about ads and it’s pretty cool in that it also supports the creators substantially more than if you watched ads. So I dunno, if you can afford an expensive Apple Vision Pro, I’d really consider treating yourself to YouTube Premium!

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown - Now out on Switch, Playstation, and Xbox in c/metroidvanias
[–] chrisbrummel 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know how to write this that doesn't come off as defensive, but… Yes, the guy who's dying to create a community on here around Metroidvanias and is the only person to make posts in c/metroidvania for 55 posts is a corporate shill for Ubisoft.

I didn’t know about the challenges with the Eastside extension, but I’m glad they’re partially opening. I can’t believe they still don’t have NFC tapping with phones. I know bureaucracy is tough, but they misjudged the demand and their priorities.

Voyager 1.24.0 - Android themed icon, iOS biometrics and more! in c/voyagerapp@lemmy.world

Could you share more details on the “better video handling” so I know what to test for? Is it specific platforms were added to auto play? Or is it reducing bugs when playing? Etc.

I’m excited to test it out. Thanks!

The new Scott Pilgrim animated series on Netflix is AWESOME! Go check it out! in c/moviesandtv@lemm.ee

Ebenezer and the Invisible World — now out on all major platforms in c/metroidvanias

Middling reviews at best. I think I'll hold off for now…

The last level of Mario Wonder is way too hard in c/games@hexbear.net
[–] chrisbrummel 2 points 2 years ago

Both Nabbit and Yoshi can take hits, but can still die by falling or touching lava. Still very difficult but considerably easier.

I did it with Nabbit and can’t imagine doing it while taking hits. Best 2D Mario yet.
