Interesting read, thank you for sharing!

Seconding this. Bravely Default I & II are classic Final Fantasy.

It’s super fun, I’ve beaten it twice. No perma death makes it feel a bit lower stakes than similar games, and the variety in win conditions and the wildly different terrain on each stage makes it so the gameplay never has time to get stale.

So what you’re saying is we need to start doing 12

Guild Wars 2 with 9405 hours as of just now. Non-predatory MMO with fun moment-to-moment gameplay

Not a good chart. They mix franchises and titles in the same chart which is a strange choice. Mario Kart 8 certainly did not sell that much, seeing as there are only 13 million Wii U’s. They meant Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Switch. They also got the wrong logo for Super Mario Bros, somehow. It’s the New Super Mario Bros. logo but with the “New” cut out.

e: I was wrong about the SMB logo, it did look like that ingame, just not on the box art.

They are just the first small and standalone window managers for X11 and Wayland respectively that came to mind for me. Not necessarily relevant

You mentioned trying Plasma on X11 and Wayland. Have you tried a different desktop environment? Just to rule out Plasma. You could temporarily install something small like dwm or Sway just for testing.

I can vouch for Ni no Kuni II, it’s absolutely delightful. I’d avoid endgame DLC though because they’re not good at all.

I love the way you do shading

I don’t like grey though :(

Megabonk is the latest one in the “dopamine slop” genre
