Whatcha all playing!

I finally finished crow country. Game was great! I thought the puzzles started off a little too easy but they got better as the game went on. Really hope to see more games from this dev soon!

Started crypt custodian. A really solid top down metroidvania. I'm about 5 hours in and am at 50% completion. So pretty short overall I'd say. Def recommend if you're looking for a quick fun time

Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.

Only two days ago Denmark passed its respective threshold (I reported) and just last night the Netherlands joined the club. Both countries did so after two weeks of virtually no movement in their numbers.

To get the initiative onto the EUs agenda so it has the chance to become EU law, it has to both reach 1 million signatures total and minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries. The Netherlands is the 6th country to pass the threshold. So who will be the 7th? Currently it looks like Ireland (69%) followed by Belgium (66%), France (64%) and Austria (62%). But as Poland has shown, things can change quickly.

All that has happened already, happened in only just over one month since the initiative started accepting signatures showing a remarkable momentum. So let's keep the momentum going. If you haven't already signed and are a citizen of the EU (even one abroad) consider signing the initiative.

Even if you are from a country that already reached the threshold you can still sign. Your signature counts to the 1 million goal.

Relevant links:

PS: Hi LTT crew. I'm honoured to be your source when reporting on the initiative. But maybe consider also citing the primary sources. The link "Sign the initiative here" leads directly to the page of the European Commission, which has even more up to date numbers than my screenshot.

I have such a love/hate relationship with Stardew Valley, slightly less so with My Time At Portia (the developers seem to have at least considered wrist strain in the button layout and mechanics). I long for a moneyless, classless game in this genre where the incentives are community thriving, trust, pleasure, and all the other aspects that make life worth worth living outside of capitalism. Does that game exist?

Is there a way to select or level up a skill on a controller?

Select will open the screen to where I can grab a separate mouse and interact with these. I tried holding down select and then the skill button but that didn’t seem to work.

Please note - I’m talking about the 4 skills on the bottom - the ones you’d want to be able to easily select on the fly while in lane.

Thanks.

I like to keep track of my games that I have completed, with most of the games it is pretty easy. When the credits roll, I consider them beat, there are a few exceptions of course like Nier, Resident Evil 2 etc. What I struggle with are fighting, racing games and 4x games. I enjoy these genres, but I don’t know what is “satisfactory” amount that would make me think that I played these games to completion.

Some examples:

  • Guilty Gear Strive (or any fighting games that are not Mortal Kombat, injustice or SF6)
  • Civilization 6
  • Project Cars
