I love how silly these games can be sometimes

No you're right, it is, the commenters here are just too freaky

Animals are one group or "kingdom" of life. Plants (such as trees) and fungi (such as mushrooms) each have their own kingdoms, and so do bacteria and a few other forms of life. They're organized this way to represent how closely related they are. Every single living thing in the animal kingdom is more closely related to every single other thing in the animal kingdom than to anything in any other kingdom.

As an example, chimpanzees, starfish, and earthworms are more closely related to each other than to a sunflower, so we call chimpanzees, starfish, and earthworms animals but not sunflowers. This is called "taxonomy" and there's a ton of different levels of how related things are, ranging from very distantly related to so closely related you can barely tell them apart. Kingdom isn't even the most broad!

You might have also heard that fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants, but that doesn't mean that fungi are animals, just that the lifeform that branched into fungi and animals did so a lot later than the one that branched into plants. In the end they're still distinct enough that we call them different kingdoms!

Oh dang, the tested video made it sound like they were making it. Good to know, and honestly even better that they're supporting a preexisting project!

Even better: they're developing a new translation layer in the style of proton for x86 to ARM called FEX, so theoretically most x86 games will run on the frame. Naturally it's also compatible with proton so you can go windows game -> x86 linux -> ARM Linux. We'll have to see how that runs but it's certainly exciting to think about.

Yo its the peggle guy (who also does some other stuff I guess)

2 permille? At that point just call it skim

she is "boyemodeth" as in boymoding. Disguising as a boy due to lack of confidence and/or safety in presenting as a girl.

I was actually thinking earlier this week that this year has been insanely good for gaming! We've gotten:

• Silksong
• Hades 2
• Alabaster Dawn (by CrossCode developers (my fave game of all time))
• Doom: The Dark Ages
• Death Stranding 2
• Monster Hunter Wilds (This one is controversial but as a long time MonHun fan I genuinely think its the best one yet, performance notwithstanding)
• Ghost of Yotei (soon!)
• Probably a million more amazing games I'm forgetting

Hey, inspiration strikes where inspiration strikes!

They're characters from the anime Fullmetal Alchemist. I won't get into it because it's quite gross but the girl's father was working on "chimera" research, and wasn't too shy about who was the research subject.

It's an incredibly disturbing part of the anime, and the joke here is about how messed up it is.

stigma love and compassion into this relationship lmao gottem

Grounded 2 released into early access recently so that sounded like a perfect time to play through Grounded 1. Can report, this game slaps. For people who like narrative open world survival games (like subnahtica and abiotic factor) this game is probably the best among them in my opinion. The writing is probably a very love it or hate it thing though, since the entire game is riding on 90's nostalgia there.

Many times, but the one that got me more than any other game really surprised me: Insomniac's Spiderman 2. Specifically the pidgeon side quest. I don't think I've ever had another experience where I actually had to put the controller down for 5 minutes to stop sobbing. it was just... so beautiful but so heartbreaking...

It's not even the saddest scene in any video game I've played, but I think something about swinging around, beating up bad guys, and then suddenly getting hit with this deeply personal and very real scene broke me. I strongly recommend this game if you have a ps5.

Going by favourite as "Left the most lasting impression on me" it would have to be:

1. Monster Hunter World
2. Crosscode
3. Outer Wilds

crosscode mentioned, hell yeah!

oh gosh, it's so hard to choose, she has so mamy good songs... I'd say I'm personally partial to "We've never met but can we have a cup of coffee or something", and "Let's walk across this forest, I can feel everything being real again" though!

also can I point out her banging awesome website???

I didn't know she did celeste music!!!!!!!! It's so good!

In Love With A Ghost

Alas we can only witness their perfect world through our imperfect lenses...
