Try out Aero GPX! It's an indie game w/ a demo on the steam store and it absolutely nails the physics from GX

Suddenly you're 30 minutes in and he's quoting Bible verses and asserting Garfield is the devil

I definitely agree, and the playstyle of the characters are super fun across the board. The only time I had a bad match was when I got a bug where I couldn't teleport as pocket (really nerfing my kit) but in general I love the feel of the game

Gamergate essentially created and unified the modern alt-right as we see it today, it should absolutely be in consideration towards modern political discourse.

That show holds up so well I swear to god

One odd holdover from TABOR (giant tax structure from the 90s that is still around in one way or another) is that any issue affecting taxes MUST BE PRINTED IN ALL CAPS FOR THE ENTIRE TEXT. It's so funny to see

I love this thread! I've been definitely shying away from AAA games towards Indies with lots of love. Here's my contribution:

Venineth: One of the best entries in the niche "marble rolling" genre. You explore beautiful alien worlds, solving puzzles, and going very fast. Each world is incredibly unique, and has its own set of challenges to conquer. There is no dialogue and all text is in an alien language, which does an amazing job of immersing you into it's landscapes https://store.steampowered.com/app/976500/Venineth/

Hypnospace Outlaw (Just above 3,000 reviews): Late 90s Internet simulator with a lot more to it than meets the eye. The game weaves a complex tale of people's lives brought together by their community found on the Internet, and the havoc wreaked by a company in pursuit of profit above their users. The soundtrack is amazing, and I was genuinely surprised at how attached I got to the quirky Internet pages by the end. https://store.steampowered.com/app/844590/Hypnospace_Outlaw/

Going Under: A rogue-lite adventure about unpaid intern Jackie treading through her startup's basement to fight the monsters of former companies. The game's tone and humor is amazing, and the "corporate marketing" art style works so well. The gameplay incorporates a lot of Breath of the Wild elements such as weapon durability, locking onto a single enemy, and throwing weapons. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1154810/Going_Under/

Ah that's a shame about Mother 3, I really loved it. Seeing the gradual decay of a town affected by tragedy after tragedy (& a heaping dose of capitalism) become a shadow of itself was so beautiful. The pacing of the game is a bit odd at times, but overall I was surprised how much it resonated with me.

I'm so tired of modern fantasy media intent on taking whimsy out of their worlds in order for me to "take them more seriously". Give me goofy underworld TSA in Percy Jackson and not stereotypical underworld pls

I played CoD 4 on the DS back in the day as well! Agreed the double tap iron sights were terrible, but I was surprised at how much they preserved the setpieces of the game.

Have you played Metroid Prime Hunters? Thats probably my favorite shooter from the DS area. The single player campaign can be backtrack-heavy with no real plot, but the shooting is fun and the multilayer mode with bots is a really good time!
