This is my aoty it’s so good

Honourable mention to Grasshopper Manufacture for being weird and fun

1. FromSoftware because if Dark Souls 2 is your worst game (by popular opinion) in the last 15 years you’re doing a good job. Sekiro is also my favourite combat system in any game.

2. Remedy, I love their use of mixed mediums with FMV scenes like Dr. Darling’s tapes in Control. Alan Wake 2 is also a masterpiece of a game and I love how far they push what they are able to do in each game.

3. Paradox because no one does map game and number go up like they do. Victoria 2 is the first game I played from them and I’ve played everything since (the only map game I don’t like is HOI4)

I think RE2 and RE4 remakes hit the sweet spot of being accurate enough to the original while also being new enough that it’s not just a cashgrab. They’re different enough that other than being named remakes they’re essentially different games, especially RE2 which is radically different than RE2 remake.

Wingspan! Fun engine builder that is simple enough to introduce new people to it at a game night but can get more complex and deep with expansions. Also if you’re a bird nerd it’s a great way to memorize names (and calls/songs if you play the pc version)

The others like Disco Elysium and Signals have been said so I’ll add Tunic! I love the artstyle and the puzzles in this game are insane, definitely not everyone’s cup of tea but one of my favourites.

Big same, I just wanted to get back to parrying and sword fighting not whatever he was doing

I’m so glad he’s optional so I can skip him on every replay

Sekiro is the best FromSoft game, that’s right I said it, I like it more than Bloodborne

Also cheap compared to Canada, especially around the great lakes region. Across the lake in Canada is one of the most unaffordable places to live in the country, along with the southwest coast

I’ve had this feature on my phone for quite a while since it’s MIUI. But the issue I’ve had is that it will decrease the volume even when I’m connected to Bluetooth speakers or my car where it’s easier to max the volume on the phone and control the volume on the speakers

Alright I tried doing this on your terms, peace

Okay we’re in a thread talking about how Native Hawaiians feel about the American government. I actually want to know why you are arguing this point and what you feel it accomplishes, in genuine good faith. Like are you Native Hawaiian, do you like in Hawaii, do you just like the idea of being able to visit Hawaii without a passport, or is there some other reason?

For me, I’m arguing this because I believe Indigenous people around the world have a right to self governance and freedom from colonial occupiers. So what’s your reason?

I dunno what to tell you dawg if you can’t understand that a referendum of Hawaiian residents from 1959 doesn’t represent the opinions of Native Hawaiians after 60 years of American control and immigration to the island. If you’re so into facts and stats you should know a representative measure of their opinion could only be done through a survey of Native Hawaiians

Nice job replying on your other account first lol, are you in here upvoting yourself too?

So then your point about

Hawaiians could have protested, revolted, or one of many other options. But they didn’t.

Is false

So to quote you

That’s the thing about facts— your opinions don’t magically make them untrue, regardless of how many folksy sayings or logical fallacies you conjure.

Like the Hawaiian Sovereignty Movement which began actively protesting and gained support in the 1960s, pretty soon after the referendum?

For that price point I’ve had a really good time with using Xiaomi phones. Specifically the Redmi Note series. They’re similarly cheap but they’re built well and feel expensive, not with a plastic case or anything like that.
