missingno

I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus last year, just an impulse buy because it was on sale dirt cheap. Ended up liking it so much I wish I'd bought a more expensive model with analog sticks.

Meanwhile, my Deck gathers dust because it's just too bulky too fill the void left behind by the GBC/GBA/DS I grew up on.

First manufacturer to get SteamOS running on a form factor that fits in my pocket gets my entire bank account. Doesn't have to be beefy, just needs to run all my favorite 2D indie games.

I definitely feel like my tastes have narrowed with age. Or maybe it's just that I've found a few games to really really fall in love with, and not much else pulls my attention away from grinding those top favorites.

When I was a kid, I could only get a new game every few months or so, so I kind of had to make the most of each one. Now I've got several hundred games in my Steam library, and more than half of are unplayed, because they don't grab me enough to boot them up over playing another ranked online set of riichi mahjong today.

Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary. (Chronicle is a close second)

Puyo Puyo Tsu is the greatest competitive puzzle game ever made. Such a simple set of mechanics gives way to an incredible amount of depth. I think its greatest strength relative to the rest of the genre is how much importance it places on actually paying attention to and adapting to your opponent. Some of my favorite other puzzle games are guilty of feeling more like a game I play adjacent to my opponent rather than against them, and I'll give them a pass if the core gameplay loop is fun enough, but I consider Tsu king of the genre for having the most true versus in its versus mode.

But Tsu's skill curve is terrifyingly impenetrable for beginners, it's one of the hardest competitive puzzle games to learn. Just understanding how to make chains is extremely daunting, and that is but the tip of the iceberg. Paying attention to what your opponent is up to while still being able to concentrate on what you're doing is an order of magnitude harder, and that's kind of where the real game begins.

20th shines by being the most comprehensive package full of additional content for players of all skill levels alongside the classic Tsu ruleset. There's a whopping 20 different game modes to play around in, many of which are much more immediately fun for a beginner to pick up, get hooked on, and hopefully enjoy the game enough to want to eventually learn to scale the mountain that is Tsu later.

Sadly, this game never got released in the west, and none of the games that have come anywhere close to it. And I think that's a large part of why the series is struggling to gain any kind of recognition in the west, we've never seen the best of what it has to offer.

You don't see how it's rude to pipe in just to shit on a game for costing money? You could easily just... not.

You were the one who replied to me just to rudely dismiss my choice of games.

A few other names have been discovered that ChatGPT also will not output, and none of them seem to be anyone special.

I think the most plausible explanation is that these individuals filed a Right to be Forgotten request, and rather than actually scrubbing any data, OpenAI's kludge was to simply have the frontend throw an error any time the LLM would output a forbidden name. I doubt this is anything happening within the LLM, just a filter on its output.

It's been 3000 years...

Is the fix really Wayland-only though? Still nothing on X11?

Electric heaters, trash compactors, juice extractors

It really depends on what games you play. Some of my favorite games are so niche that 'matchmaking' simply consists of Discord pings. The upside of that is that you will get a very close-knit community out of it.

It goes for both of you. It's honestly just a pretty rude unsolicited reply.

Anything 2D should run on a toaster.

I'm legally obligated to shill CrossCode as the greatest RPG ever made.

Honestly, why even reply just to announce that you don't wanna play a game? Don't care, didn't ask.
