I've chucked Marsupilami into my Steam wishlist, I love a good platformer! Hope you're feeling better soon. Do you often have trouble breathing?

@mrhumbuck I hope you'll enjoy it! I got it in a bundle of mystery steam keys, so my expectations were low, but I enjoyed that play session a lot. As for my breathing, it was decently normal- I have asthma and allergies make it worse- so it was fine! I'm feeling better today, thanks!

You lived in Japan, Miela? 🗻 That’s so cool! 😀

@a-blue-in-a-sea-of-reds I did, it was an experience I was really lucky to have! I taught junior high English there for a few years.

Wow, what an awesome experience that must’ve been! 😊 So, do you speak and/or understand Japanese? 🗾 Also, did you get to visit any of those multifloored Taito Game Stations or Sega Arcades over there? 👾

I am not naturally good at languages, so I’m still working hard to learn Japanese well. I could survive, but I’m way better now than I was there. As for arcades, though, I went constantly, and to lots of them. A smaller two floor Sega arcade was maybe my second most visited one!

There was a Taito one I really liked in a shopping mall basement near the immigration office I had to visit annually, too, but that one was too far off to visit casually. It was so bright and spacious feeling, though!

Steam Spring Sale out of nowhere. Wasn't the Winter Sale just like three weeks ago?

@skep Ah, this is the risk of being on different dimensional timelines. For me, each calendar day of winter is a random number of theoretical days long, so over here, the Winter Sale was 3 years ago. Steam does what they can to balance these timelines, but it's tricky.

mystery dungeon <3 the game is a bit hard at times, but the story and vibes are definitely worth it, hope you have fun with it!

I'm loving it so far, and will be pleased if it gets difficult. I played one of the Shiren the Wanderer Mystery Dungeon games way back, and really like how much friendlier this is.

To this day Pokemon Mystery Dungeon remains my favorite Pokemon thing and is responsible for me feeling like something is missing any time I play a Mystery Dungeon style game that doesn't have monster collecting elements, ahaha

I hope you feel better soon!

@dragonhalo3d Thanks! I have some doctor stuff set up today and in a couple weeks, so hopefully it helps!

What fighting games would you suggest for someone who's new to them? I've played very little in the way of fighters, I should give them a proper go sometime

@mrhumbuck I learned how fighters work from Tekken 3 way back, off a demo disc- I think it was pretty straightforward, but had enough to do that it kept me playing and figuring out how different characters work. Past that, though, I've just played stuff I think looks stylish or interesting. It's really boring, and probably bad advice, but I think it's easier to learn a game if you like the characters, or vibes

Pt 2: or amount of fireballs flying across the screen. I have no competitive spirit, so I'm just messing around, but definitely think it's easier to get good at a game that hooked me with the window dressing.

@mrhumbuck the first fighting game I really sunk some time into and made effort to actually learn was Guilty Gear Strive, and I picked up basics in a week or so ... I'm far from any good at Guilty Gear or fighting games in general, but from my perspective, I think once you learn things like numpad notation and various different terms, practicing combos and just having fun with the game comes next pretty EZ :3

PT2: also some basics I learned from Guilty Gear translated over to other fighting games. There's loads of really good fighting games to start with, and I think Strive is one based off my experience with it

Luna's Fishing Garden! That's such a cozy and cute game!

pink yoshi !!!

@puddingpudds It is, I love it! I'm kind of frustrated I was too tired to play it last night, but the weekend is ahead!

@slicysirup Pink Yoshi is a friend.
