How about we break the necks of Germans instead, they’re a much bigger problem than the pigeons are

it didn’t work

I am not in contact with disabled or immunocompromised people

Do you think immunocompromised people walk around with a big sign on their neck that reads “IMMUNOCOMPROMISED” or something? When you go out to the grocery store or to do whatever occasional chore, how do you know that none of the people around you are disabled or immunocompromised?

I stay inside when I’m sick, which is rarely ever.

The majority of COVID cases are asymptomatic.

I looked it up and found two books with this title, are you talking about the one by Martin Empson or Ted Reese?

This post reminded me that I had opened !roguelikes and forgotten about it lol. It’s pretty much the exact sort of community you were talking about, a niche audience that’s not really relevant to the site-wide culture, and that has no posts and little chance of growth. I was going to try to post there myself to help the community grow but I couldn’t think of anything worth posting.

Anyways, +1 to cleaning up the dead communities.

SMT V was pretty good, yeah. I thought it was kind of weak compared to Nocturne and IV, but the game was still a lot of fun, so I’m sure the DLC will be a fun way to revisit it

I’ve been playing Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey and Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer lately. I’ve got a long commute to work, so the DS has become my best friend when I don’t feel like reading. I also started another playthrough of Diddy Kong Racing, initially just to test homebrew N64 emulation on my Switch. It actually runs well! It also plays mostly nicely with widescreen hacks, only downside is I have to run the game at base N64 resolution to avoid slowdown.

My favorite genre is probably RPGs? But I tend to get really into one or two genres at a time and then switch to something else after a bit. Recently it’s been roguelikes and, briefly, pinball. Before that I was playing a lot of bullet hell games. I think more and more I’m just interested in games that I don’t have to commit to for more than one play session.

What games coming out in 2024 are you most anticipating? Or games that are coming out sometime in the future?

I don’t know if this counts but I’m very excited for the Majora’s Mask PC port to release! I’ve been checking their Discord server every day hoping to see news. Otherwise, Demonschool seems pretty interesting, and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance I suppose? I thought the original release of that was only alright, but hopefully the new route will be something I’m into.

Sorry if this is against the rules, but I figured this was an appropriate comment to plug !roguelikes@lemmygrad.ml. I opened it last night, but I don’t actually know what to post there lol. I made it with traditional roguelikes in mind, but there’s not any strict rules yet, so if you’ve got opinions on what should be allowed or whatever feel free to chime in.

I’m pretty sure you need homebrew to access the save data, so if your switch isn’t exploitable you’re SOL. In that case paying someone to make the mons you want and trade them to you makes sense to me, though no way I’d ever pay $80 for it lol

What’s wrong with reading a book, writing poetry or a novel, exercising, playing with the smartphone… and going home to enjoy your hobbies fully rested?

I tried doing these sorts of things and was punished for it. If I can’t find work to do, then the only thing I’m allowed to do is stand (not sit) at my station until something happens.

he says nice sounding things about us sometimes, which kinda seems like doing something if you don’t let yourself think about it

I've been emulating Super Mario RPG on my Switch for the first time and loving every second of it. It's so much fun and very silly, and the music is absolutely incredible. The range of styles Shimomura Yoko is able to compose expertly is amazing to me! The fact that these goofy, high energy songs are from the same person who composed Parasite Eve is unbelievable.
