I have yet to play Terraria, have no idea what those hornets do, but just from playing other games and reading *hornets* (wasps or any other type of "wasp-like" flying insect), I feel your anger :mad:

Tower of Kalemonvo released on the 28.03, pretty great because it is an indie arpg similar to Diablo 1. Played a demo a while back and really liked it and bought it just now. Great so far, very difficult too.

Or if they live in the US, they would die of shock if they get out of San Francisco or New York. :lol:

Thanks, they mention Diablo and Throne of Darkness, and I've been looking for a "slower paced" arpg as they put it.

It's been 9 years. What drugs are Stardew players on? :shock: Is the multiplayer community actually huge or something? :scratch-pipe:

I'm entirely fine with women having a different concept of "playing" games and what games they enjoy. I don't want females to be like males.

Farming simulators in general always felt more like "chill comfort games" since there is no end goal besides just doing everyday mundane stuff and socialize with NPCs.

Some Harvest Moon games even have no time limit, the GBA title Friends of Mineral Town even awards you an extra in-game house if you have been farming for 50 in-game years.

Stardew Valley has a lot of emphasis on interactions with characters, bordering on visual novel territory. Also has a lot of overlap with animal crossing.

You think they would register a listing on Steam and ask people to wishlist it as a joke?

Well tbh, both scalies and furries share a "if I had the choice, I would rather not be a human" sentiment, which I never really understood.

It was funny watching koei tecmo fumble their latest releases. Their sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima knockoffs have flopped terribly. They tried to revive the Dead or Alive series, but It didn't work out well for them. the microtransactions are even worse than In the previous game. Finally, they failed to attract the quasi-puritanical audience by making the girls look "less objectified", even though the average fightan autist knows that one of the main selling points of DOA was the sexy female characters and jiggle physics.

You would think that the higher ups (you would think they have degrees in business or business management experience, or keep up with the industry) and the marketing analysists would understand just how difficult it is to attract new customers today with there being so many entertainment options, so much competition, the fierce fight for people's limited free time and attention, and exorbitant marketing costs. That it is better to continue serving a loyal fanbase rather than to forsake them and become yet another statistic in the fleeting attempt to find the mythical "modern audience". But time and again they keep doing this. I wonder if there is just a lot of dumb people running these companies, or if the responsibility-defusing nature of bureaucracies and committees allows this nonsense to happen.
