  • If people felt they can’t really escape an essential product from a shitty company because of cost, or even convenience, I’d understand.

    Warning: angry rant.

    But this is a video game. Playing video games is my primary hobby. I do it a lot. It’s how I spend quality time with my long-distance partner as well. But it is not essential to my life. We actually have a very viable option of not buying a product from a company helmed by evil, shitty people. It should’ve been more clear-cut.

    Ultimately, my disappointment over this runs pretty deep. I will never respect Blizzard as a company. Honestly, I had hoped that MS acquiring them would mean breaking them up and scattering the resources to different departments. The fact that I think MS is the better of the two probably says a lot about my disdain for Blizzard at this point.


  • The co-op modes are 3 vs 1 and 3 vs AI controlled boss. I only played the vs AI boss, and you all get separate boards until a specific event occurs. Then it merges and everyone gets to put their piece anywhere across the three boards. It only lasts for a little bit, and then the board splits again.

    The PvP modes are called:

    • Zone battle (incorporates their time-stopping mechanic)
    • Score attack (standard Tetris, no interfering blocks for the player lagging behind)
    • Classic Score attack (standard Tetris, but you don’t get hard drops or holds, and again, no interfering blocks)

    One thing I found out is that if you want to play against the CPU, you can just load up a local match and add player’s twice on the same controller. The second “adding” will fill the rest with CPUs.

    It’s available on both PC and Switch. However, from what I could find out, you need the Switch Online membership to play multiplayer online. But you haven’t mentioned an interest in that so it should fit your requirements really well.

    It’s currently 50% off on both Steam and Nintendo eShop

    Hope that helps!





  • I’ll probably take some flak for my answers, but here I go!

    Undertale

    Maybe I would’ve loved it if I had got to the game before the fandom madness got to me. But to be fair, it looks like it’s visually designed to tap into that 80’s nostalgia, which would’ve bore me anyway.

    Destiny 2

    I used to enjoy that game (and Destiny). Played it way more than I’d like to admit. But as my anxiety got worse, the more I abhorred the way they force you into matchmaking for PvE content, then give you all kinds of reasons why you have to do those PvE content where you’re forced to play with random players. Then there’s the changes Bungie had made that made the game more and more hostile to me on a mechanics level. Lately, it also feels like they’re treating Destiny 2 as a money-printing machine.

    Diablo 4

    Because Blizzard. I had a whole rant but I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable. I simply will not give Blizzard any money moving forward.




  • Hello, I’m Mifuyne, Mif for short. I was born in Hong Kong, live in Ontario, Canada now. I use she/her pronouns, but I’m fine with being referred to as they, too. You can also find me on @mifuyne@easymode.im, but that account is more focused on my future gamedev journey 😁 I also have a couple of writefreely accounts, which won’t show up on sites like Lemmy or kbin.

    Other than programming and gamedev, I also have an interest in tabletop RPGs. I’m mostly focused on solo-gaming at the moment, but I’m still toying with the idea of opening a freeform RP/play-by-post lemmy (or another federated forum) instance.

    I look forward to see the kind of discourse that goes on in here 😊
