My biggest issue with Piefed is how much space the UI uses. Last I checked it didn’t have a “compact mode” like current Lemmy or Alexandrite. Browsing communities is also a bit awkward since it shows you so many topics without a way to sort or remove them.

I have! and it’s a great game but still not quite the level of HK

Sure, but my biggest problem with them is how expensive their games are and how they never go on sale. $70 was already pushing it, but now they might be asking $90 for physical game cards. Screw that.

I’m not OP, but Hollow Knight is a master-class of world design imo. The world is absolutely massive and seamlessly connected, it feels like it never ends until you finally reach the end game. Seeing it loop back on itself 10+ hours later is something I almost never see anywhere else.

The combat is also fairly simple but very tight. There’s a crazy amount of enemy variety and it has some of the most exciting bosses in the genre - especially if you’re going for the true ending. I played so much of the genre but nothing gave me the feeling HK did. I finished it 3 times.

This is the dumbest list I’ve ever seen. Are they intentionally messing with people? How is a game that just came out “most influential”? What did Minecraft influence other than half-baked clones? Shenmue provided the blueprint for open world games and, what, Ocarina of Time didn’t?

BAFTA continuing their streak of being on my black-list for being total nonsense.

Because MicroSD Express cards are more expensive. Saved you a click.

Absolutely someone’s Sonic OC

This was announced in today’s direct. I wanted to post it but Nintendo haven’t published the trailer yet for some reason. The intern forgot…

No way it’s an exclusive since Xbox mentioned it in their blog post.

Nobody knows yet.

I was hoping for an actual release date rather than just vaguely mentioning the year. They did say a year twice before IIRC and it still got delayed, an actual release date would feel more real.

That’s CAD, it’s $450 in the US.

Switch emulators run fine, but this is coming to the Switch 2 which is a different console. We don’t know when emulation for that will be available, if ever considering how hard Nintendo has been cracking down on them.

I just saw this getting reported. Oof. That’s not a great price.

Nothing yet on the US store. Tariffs threw a wrench in their plans, I reckon.

Edit: $449 apparently.

They announced Metroid Prime 4 will be able to run at 1080p 120fps or 4K 60fps when docked. It doesn’t have the most impressive graphics or anything, but it sounds like they’re actually going to try doing it for a few games.

High refresh screen and 4K support is a surprise to me, that’s very nice when it comes to Nintendo standards.

On the other hand, It’s very weird that they didn’t announce a price at the showcase… It sounds like this might be more expensive than what everybody’s expecting it to be.

Not the release date announcement I was hoping for, but you know what, I’ll take it.

Mario Kart with open world wasn’t on my bingo list, but it looks great.
