The controversy was one thing, but the game itself really could've used more optimisation. I played through once and now occasionally go back and play with mods on, and the performance issues really does make you wish the game ran better.

I got a Sofle V2 and committed to using Colemak DHm on it. Typing's a bit awkward but relatively fluid on both keyboards, since split keyboard muscle memory is slightly different.

Not very good at mod layering myself, but it's been a pretty fun time. Only kind of sucks when my split is plugged in and I boot up a game and my character just backs off a cliff cuz it's not WASD.

Sad to see it go, but it wasn't sad to send us packing. So, bon voyage, I suppose.

I was definitely a bit put off by the graphics from the Hex, and didn't really get the references to it in Inscryption. I might give it a try since you're recommending it.

Pony Island was a hell of a game, though. I remember watching the gameplay videos and being impressed at how innovative Daniel Mullins games were.

The FATE series. No, not the anime, the Diablo ripoff computer game with stolen music sold by WildTangent. I was a kid that got by playing only demos, and this game was one I reinstalled over and over again to get those free plays.

It's a pretty simple dungeon crawling game with procedurally generated floors where you have to get to floor 5x and defeat the named boss there so you can reincarnate and start it over again.

I reinstall it every couple of years to play it. It's got hardly any story, quests are generated for the floors you're about to reach, stats are randomly generated. It's just pure gameplay, though a bit repetitive as it can be. I love that it has a similar fish mechanic to Torchlight for your pets.

I remember seeing a nostalgia post on the game on Reddit and the developer of the game series had commented on the post. It was like meeting one of your heroes. Definitely very memorable for me.

The third game supposedly has all the content from the first two, so here's the steam link if anyone's curious.

Yes. I'm looking forward to better search functionality on instances though. It's kind of hard to search if something's been asked or posted already on mobile (using Liftoff, but I've also tried Jerboa and Connect)

The madlads! (I'm sorry I had to)

No, but I understand that. I've been on bad terms with my own mother following an incident last October where I swore at her when she refused to hear me out when I tried to explain myself. The full thing is obviously a bit more complex.

Our only interactions since have been arguments where she's said very verbally abusive things and it's hard. She's done better than her own mom, who's just generally verbally abusive by only doing so while mad, but there's some things you can't say without having to make amends later, and she's run up a list.

Difficult families are difficult. I hope things improve for you as well.

As an 8 year old without much of a guide at all, I was a very proud Magician on MapleStory... one who dealt violence with her trusty magic wands and staves... physically.

I didn't understand what skills and hotkeys were until several years down the line when reading comprehension and life experience improved.

does it rely on the DS' dual screen much?

Not really. However, gameplay gets you to use the touch screen to move the main character in the game, so I anticipate that the switch version will either support touch, or make movement possible with joystick control.

I haven't tested it yet myself, so I can't confirm this though.

It's sunk cost fallacy, skinner box loops and more. It starts out fun, somewhat enjoyable. Then eventually it turns into a slog, and grind and you lose sight of why you even find it fun to begin with.

By then you'd be hundreds or thousands of hours in, and you end up commenting about your crappy experience here, I guess.
