Awesome! I will actually consider purchasing them now.

Great job for those of you that took a stance against this! Voting with your wallet works.

I enjoyed that one, but didn’t make it too far before moving on though. I do imagine it would be more fun with two people!

I’ve had some luck getting some of my people to switch over by asking them to switch as a favor to me specifically (if they want to of course… And they can always just not use it if they end up not liking it).

Asking them in a more direct way like this seems to work, even if there’s some reluctance at first. I tell them that it helps me out because I can also send stuff to them on my computer, which is true. Then there’s the fact that I just really like all of the extra features it has (it’s just a really good chat app in general), emoji replies, reply quotes, and read receipts to name a few.

If they need any other reasons, the last things I tend to get into are the privacy/security aspects.

Boom, all of a sudden they’re using something better, and even though they’re probably still using those other (shit) apps, at least I don’t have to. You have to start somewhere, right?

Better (more ergonomic) form factor for one thing.

Steam deck is too damn big, and uncomfortable, in my opinion.

It’s on sale right now on the steam autumn sale.

The game was better than the show, which the show was actually based from. I liked the show too, but definitely give the game a go if you get a chance.

The second game was a very difficult storyline to play through, however. I’m glad I did, but temper your expectations and expect to suffer a lot. Lol

This does look fun, my first thoughts went back to the mx vs atv series. Any racing game that allows physical violence against your adversaries is a formula for a good time 😁

The first one was a lot of fun, even though I was pretty shit at it and didn’t have anyone to play it with at the time.

Nintendo was responsible for that?

Can you and the other guy doing the screenshots thing do a collaboration? If not, how about a feud then? Lol

grim reaper is a total bro.

More positives:

I also really enjoy the intro screen. It’s chill, and simple, but really well crafted. The subtle details like the syncronized blinking of the button combo indicator to start the game and the slight movement of the title text. I really appreciate that it takes you immediately into the game so quickly/easily too. It’s nice to just have the capability to jump right in and start exactly where you left off last time.

Really, I had to take a moment to write this comment just so I could listen to the intro song loop a few times. Really digging the tunes :)

I respect that.

So, I ended up switching the control scheme again… My reasoning why I switched it up in the first place was because having attack on the ‘x’ button feels more natural. However, this was making some of the platforming where you have to attack things mid-jump even more difficult. So I switched it back to left bumper = attack, right bumper = block, x = slot 1 (I think this will likely be the final version)

Awesome!

One more thing I wanted to mention real quick; there doesn’t seem to be a way to drop through ledges. Not sure if that was intentional or not, but maybe the special move that is mapped to ‘down+A’ interferes with this (usually) default mechanic?

I’ve been having the worst time trying to get hotlinks to work lately…

(Hopefully that works)

Thanks for the responses, looking forward to playing more of this and seeing it progress!

Oh, awesome! I must have missed that

Positives:

I’m loving the music so far, really awesome chiptunes, great vibes. I love the fast paced movement and combat, and responsive controls. I’m not sure how much patience I’ll have for the precision platforming, but it feels really well done.

Suggestions:

-Default controls for the controller weren’t my favorite. It’s great that customizing them is super easy. I’d suggest these for the defaults:

-I noticed that the defaults for ‘scroll right’ and ‘scroll left’ weren’t working with the right stick. I don’t know if this could be because I changed the defaults, but setting up these two controls to the corrosponding d-pad buttons fixed it.

-Replace the Reddit link with a Lemmy one instead?
