So, like 18 months before this gets added to the Google graveyard?

I got in early on the Analogue Pocket preorders and it’s been very nice, especially once they opened it up to third party cores.

There’s also a Genesis one which is very different in play style. I remember it being a lot more open but requiring you to lead yourself a lot more. I prefer SNES but they’re probably both worth a look.

Also the Yahama sound chip in a Cyberpunk game was a great match.

I agree with this. It looks really good, but it was weirdly huge.

I guess you can blame it being a platform for experimentation. They wanted it to be able to produce the stuff they’d need even away from stations? Still feels weird though.

The Excelsior was definitely a good-looking ship. VI remains my favorite of the movies. (Slightly controversial, I know.)

I find most of them fairly annoying, but a few are particularly bad. I’m not looking forward to the one I gave up on.

And yeah, some of the cave systems are confusing. It helps to go back and forth and make sure to look up. Sometimes there are extra little branches that are only visible in one direction.

Yeah I was

I’m at about 120 hours, haven’t completed yet, although I probably could at any time starting around 80 hours. I’ve been filling out lightroots and shrines and doing other random side stuff I stumble across.

How do you see completion percentage?

Honestly, I found all the light roots even before I think I had even half the shrines. It was sort of my favorite part of the game for a bit. Just hop on an airbike and roam around looking for light, and stopping to look at interesting stuff I found on the way.

On the other hand, finding shrines tends to be either much, much easier (just look around after launching from a sky rower) or annoyingly harder (hidden in a cave). I guess that’s why I’m only just now finishing them. At this point, I’m just using an online map to help me do the last ones.

It’s not self-hosting really, but Ripcord exists as an alternate client. It’s very resource light, but I find it kinda janky.

Still on TotK. 115 hours in. I’ve been at the last bit for a while, just going around and doing lightroots and shrines still. Lightroots are done, and about 20 shrines left.

I’m still considering if I want to do FF16 next. The demo had really bad motion blur and I kinda want to wait to see if they patch it before I spend money.

I still have plenty of other games in my backlog, so I don’t know that it’s a big loss if I wait. (Unless serious spoilers start getting out, which seems like it might be a problem with this one?)
