  • I do like Mega Man games - in particular the X series - but it can be really old-school levels of frustrating and hard at times. Excellent music throughout. Sometimes I don’t want to play as much as I want to hear the music. There is no lack of covers on YouTube (I highly recommend Songe’s channel - Mega Man covers playlist).

    So yes, I like it, but without knowing what your taste in games is, I’m not sure that I would recommend it to you.

    This game isn’t as difficult as Mega Man games are. I would definitely say to give it a shot since it’s free. If you enjoy it, then I would suggest trying out the MM/X series.










  • You live long enough and you start to see the elements of a new game’s DNA. Most games build on another that came before it. For example, Undertale takes a lot of inspiration from EarthBound.

    What this has meant for me is that new games have a harder time really gripping my attention because I often think “well, that part was fun, but this other mechanic was much better implemented in this other game.”

    I don’t have the patience anymore - nor the free time - to stick with any game that doesn’t do something special. And for me, gameplay is more important than anything else. Great visuals don’t make up for unfun game mechanics.

    To each their own, of course.





  • I’m so sorry for your loss. I know too well how it feels to miss your animal.

    This was Barley. I lost her to cancer on New Years. We didn’t even know she had a tumor despite multiple recent vet visits and blood work. She was a rescue, and we had just barely passed 11 years together when she died.

    There is still a hole in my heart shaped like her big, fuzzy butt. This dog saved my life, and I will forever feel like I was so blessed to have had her. Literally every person who met her remarked at what a good dog she was.
