Yes, but also:

• -be more aggressive. Close the distance and R1 until you hear the sound of her block change; that indicates a counterattack you need to parry.

• -throw a shuriken when she’s hopping around and get back in her face.

• -watch out for her deadly attack, jump on her, then get back to spamming R1.

• If you can get fast enough at those three things, phase 1 goes down easy. In phase 2, you can either use a snap seed to banish the ghosts, or just run around like an idiot until they disappear. Then, finish her off.

Nac Mac Feegle!

Love it! The new mission type is fun, and the core event is snappy and intense, much less annoying than the lithophage corruptors.

That sure is a lot of sci-fi/horror/80s retro/samurai games!

But seriously, I’m amazed at the quality indie devs are putting out these days. I don’t even bother looking at most AAA releases anymore.

Welp, better lower the taxes on the wealthy some more, then. Surely it will help this time

It was tricky to drive, but much easier unmodded. It also just shredded that particular race, which IIRC is the most lucrative in the game

And a stock viper for making money in the normal car race!

Good article, really great game suggestions. I particularly enjoyed Cat in the Box.

No mention of Euchre, which is also a wonderful trick-taking game that uses (some of) a standard deck

Café Eblana: a final fantasy fan site. I think I saw a reference to it in a Game Players magazine, and looked it up on a school computer around 1996.

I recently enjoyed ‘Project Hail Mary’, by Andy Weir. If you liked ‘The Martian’, it is essentially more of the same; a very easy read that moves at a good pace.

Jagged earth has the most stuff, so maybe get that one first? But yeah, they all add good things

Do you have an existing Steam Library? Tons of games are verified on the deck. Anything with controller support is great.

If you haven’t played them: brotato, Hades, and Stardew Valley are all perfect on the deck, off the top of my head

Leonin druid. Maybe always wildshaping into something less threatening when out of combat?

Getting the bad ending is, at most, half of the content of that game. So yes! You should finish it

No, I was just being silly.

Loved her in Fawlty Towers

“In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.”

So we should continue catering to their needs, thereby encouraging the construction of more unwalkable suburbs?

Bit hard to narrow it down… what do you enjoy? And have you played much from that era?

Just off the top of my head… simcity 2000, Ultima 4,5,6,7, the quest for glory series, civilization 1 and 2, fallout 1 and 2, xcom, master of orion… there are a ton of classics that are still worth playing.

For something perhaps a little less popular, maybe try Tex Murphy?

Edit: oh, I just remembered Commandos! if you’re a masochist, anyway. That game is hard as balls. Fun, though.
