Played some more Panicore and after that some Helldivers 2 with the squad.

Sounds like an intriguing twist on the AI genre! The idea of an AI developing self-awareness and becoming obsessed with its owner is both fascinating and chilling. I wonder how will it compare to other AI thrillers like Ex Machina or Blade Runner when it's released.

I took a look at the list, and it has some great picks! Silent Bomber and MDK are definitely among my top choices. Vagrant Story and Tales of Destiny also deserve a shoutout as they offer some incredible experiences. It’s always fun discovering these forgotten gems.

Interesting choice with the retro style. I’m curious how well the randomized rogue-lite elements will translate into VR. Sometimes these styles can be hit or miss in VR environments. Have you seen any reviews or early feedback on how it performs?

Not sure if I’d be into it since I usually prefer games with more of a challenge or complex mechanics, but I can see how it could be a fun, chill experience. Maybe I'll check out some gameplay videos first to get a better feel.

I haven't played Cattie yet, but it seems like it's flying a bit under the radar despite the cross-platform release. The comparisons to Celeste and Super Meat Boy make me curious. Does it have that same balance of challenge and rewarding gameplay? I’m also wondering how it holds up against other indie platformers on the Switch.

I agree that player welfare and fair play are crucial, but don't you think some restrictions might be necessary to ensure a balanced and competitive environment? Sometimes creative freedom can unintentionally lead to unfair advantages.

That’s a good point! Steam's community is so big that it almost flies under the radar when we talk about gaming spaces. I wonder if that’s because it’s such a central part of PC gaming that we just take it for granted?

Good point, but do you think that gap is closing with time? Some indie games nowadays, like Hades or Ori and the Blind Forest, push the boundaries of art and design despite their limited budgets in comparison to AAA companies.

I completely get what you mean - Sekiro is brutal! The stealth mechanics really test your patience and timing. I remember the tension of sneaking through enemy territory, knowing one mistake could lead to a swift death. What was the most challenging part for you? Also, Sekiro was developed by the same company that made Dark Souls and Elden Ring.

I feel the same way. Zelda games always seem to excel at creating memorable worlds and characters.

That's also a very valid point. What are some games you've discovered through them that you wouldn't have tried otherwise?

I love the Metroid storyline although it's a bit convoluted in certain aspects but I'm finally happy this saga between Samus and Sylux will be coming to an end.

Wow, that's amazing! Placing in the top 10 in a solo tournament is a huge achievement, especially with how competitive Fortnite is. Your cousin must be super skilled.

Also would have added that but I wasn't sure if you were talking about games released within the last two years or games that remain popular even though they've been around for a while.

Magic really rewards players who invest time in learning the nuances. From mastering mana curves to knowing when to go on the offensive versus holding back, the game definitely sharpens critical thinking skills.

Honestly, I'm not much of a soda person but if I do drink soda, it's usually something like Sprite or Tropicana.

That's awesome. The vanilla sponge cake recipe I got from my mother was passed down by my grandma as well.

That's true for both your partner and your pets. Life is such an unpredictable thing that they'll be here today and may be gone tomorrow so we should always cherish them.

Same here - I hardly ever buy designer anything unless I know it's durable and will last several years like Timberland Boots.

I used to do Shotokan as a kid and won trophies in sparring in the three tournaments I participated in. I also learned self defense from growing up in a violent community.

I don't really have any problems with them either.
