Hoo, yes. I need to get back into that game. The music for the new levels is phenominal.

The new level is phenomenal. I just played some of it.

It's huge. It's similar to the Alpine Skyline level, with open ended exploration, but instead of a bunch of open areas, it's dozens of tunnels where you climb walls, walk over trains, etc. Unlike Alpine Skyline though, it has an actual plot, which progresses as you pick up the time pieces.

And everything feels so cool and fresh. There are more clothes and hats in this level to buy than in the rest of the game combined, tens of stickers you need to find, as well as jokes involving yakuza, food, social media and a bunch of other random stuff. I had over 3k pons which I collected from the first playthrough and I spent almost all of it in one hour just to buy some of the new customization items.

So far this level is right up with the best ones of the main game. Though I hear some people were disappointed because it doesn't have an actual boss battle in the end. Whatever.

Just downloaded this:

I have no idea how long it is, whether it's a complete product, or anything else. It just came out, and I don't think anyone has completed it enough to say. I'll be avoiding all spoilers. But hey, if you're an Undertale fan, it's worth your time just for the interactive story bits I've hit so far.

This explains a lot:

Oh I just saw this. Glad you're enjoying it! I have my small quibbles with the game, particularly the DLC, but it oozes charm and the Conductor is perfect.

My headcanon is that he's a chocobo, but that doesn't explain the lack of eyes. Or really anything about him.

Just wait, though, the other best character is in the third world.

I just beat the game, actually. Only the DLC is left.

Great game.

It's a contest thing where 136 characters fight in popularity polls, and you get to make brackets to bet on them. If you live in USA/Canada you might also win money.

It kind of reminds me of Smashfest except it's poll-based instead of video-based. Actually when I first saw Smashfest I was like "it's character battle but with videos!" (I've been participating those things since 2006).

Anyway, just advertising because it's a nerdy thing I want to share.

They're still doing this? Geez, I remember it from at least 10-11 years ago.

Yeah, they do it less often but they do it.

I've been kind of addicted to this one. Been playing side betting games on the forum and making predictions. They even have a podcast about it.

Also I got to the Battle of the Birds chapter and I'm still not convinced that thing in your avatar is not a lizard.

So I'm playing A Hat in Time, and it's incredible.

It's different enough to be worth playing. But most people don't actually love it. I didn't.

The humor is smart and different (dialogue, enemies, plot are all pretty funny), the gameplay feels fresh at some points despite being a SNES game (though it feels really outdated at other points).

The first half is really hard so if you want hard RPGs it can provide that. Sadly it loses all difficulty once you gain access to the game's main weapons.

And it's the prequel for Mother 3, which is Earthbound with an actual good plot.

I took a break for a few months after starting Mother 3 but now I'm back and finishing it soon.

It's a masterpiece. Probably better than Earthbound even.

That's awesome! I really need to get my hands on it and play it one of these days. I wish they'd re-release it.

I'm playing a translated rom. It's pretty good.

I have spare money to buy it, but it's so ridiculously expensive in my country I refuse to buy it on launch on principle.

Yeah it's amazing.

It's also really fucking hard.

Though Returns is even harder.

Anyone playing the new pokemon games?

And I'm not referring to any smartphone apps.

Just... watch it.
