I use reddit to lurk in niche communities that have zero to no presence here.

In case you haven’t deciphered where the cut off points are:

• Cassette Beasts
• Pseudoregalia
• Return of the Obra Dinn
• Chants of Sennar
• Gloomwood

Here are my recommendations then:

CrossCode is a personal favorite of mine. An action RPG heavily inspired by retro games.

Library of Ruina is a great non-roguelike deckbuilder. Technically it’s a sequel, but it’s not necessary to know anything about Lobotomy Corporation to get the full enjoyment of its story. At most you can just look up LC’s true ending if you aren’t interested in brutally hard management sims.

Tactical Breach Wizards is a really intertesting mix between a turn-based tactical game and a puzzle game.

That argument is stupid for anyone who understands how games utilize DRM and DLC. As long as DRM is not involved, there is literally nothing stopping you from getting the DLC from somewhere else. Things are slightly trickier with DRM, but not impossible.

If I’m remembering correctly, price parity only applies to keys sold off platform, rather than the game itself because they don’t profit from the keys being generated.

Where did you hear that? I use DP to connect to my monitor and I can play sound through it.

It took skill to do this before. Hardly anyone with that level of skill and time would do this. Now the dumb idiots have access to that skillset because of AI doing all the work for them.

Computer hardware & accessories, networking equipment, and appliances. Physical media and hatdware specifically for playing it has been on a decline because of the prevalence of streaming.

I played both HK and silksong on arch, and haven’t noticed any glaring problems like that.

Dark traffic?!?! LMAO. Can we start calling malicious ads dark advertising?
