That’s kind of part of the point. That’s how the game starts out, but as you build up infrastructure (literally with the help of other human players that you’ll never actually interact with, thank god), traveling gets faster and easier. Until you’re driving delivery trucks down massive highways, and traveling over mountains on zip-line networks.

And that progress parallels the story in some ways.

Sekiro was the first one to hook me. Outstanding game.

Rimworld

Money is real. And please don’t waste your time, I know the argument you’re going to make and it’s stupid. It doesn’t matter if it’s based on piles of shiny metal or not. It’s real. You can learn all about it if you want by studying economics. You’ll find out pretty quickly that there’s nothing magic about it.

So I guess I wonder what you believe the word “magic” means…

No, I understand that you believe it’s the same thing as using a rubber duck as a sounding board. I don’t agree.

The rich are using magic.

Sure thing, bud.

Jodorowski is a loon with zero qualifications in science or philosophy. I’m not sure why a person would take anything he says about reality with anything less than a grain of salt. Especially when it eschews actual, real, science.

We need to use magic as part of our praxis.

Yeah, that’ll get the left to unite around you 🙄

Juices like this also exist in the US…

Are you suggesting Ghost of Yotei is a “slop game”?

Astral Chain was great, and probably runs better on emulator than original hardware

Yeah but you just compared 3rd party emulators to hardware. Switch isn’t running Switch games on emulator, but it’s still not surprisingl that an emulator on Steam Deck plays them better.

Yeah I started reading, and it felt like one of those long winded recipe intros so I was like fuck this

Here’s a suggestion you never see, but I loved it: Astral Chain.

Also, as others have said, Super Mario Odyssey is legit the best 3D platformer ever made.

Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is also pretty great.

tbf, the Steam Deck’s hardware blows the Switch away so of course they play better

Right, but a rubber duck isn’t a sycophantic chatbot that isn’t capable of conceptualizing anything but responding to you anyway.

Hooray for outsourcing of critical thinking!

What could possibly go wrong

Then I look forward to playing more… Street Fighter 1 and 2 are pretty much completely different genres though, so I dunno. Seemed more like SF2 vs. SF3 or something.
