Great video as always from Noodle. I think I'll try peglin - the rest is not really my jam.

Gets shot
Hey there Lionir. Thanks for the post. Can the Beehaw team please look into copying or getting the creator of this bot to work here? https://lemmy.world/u/PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks
I think the person that created that bot is somehow connected to the piped.video project. I know the whole privacy consciousness thing isn't for everyone, but this bot's posts are quite popular elsewhere on Lemmy.
FYI, the main reason to use piped.video links is that it is setup as an alternative front end for YT that automatically routes all users through a bunch of VPNs to help mitigate Alphabet's privacy abuses and manipulation.
I certainly have thoughts about bots and the Piped in particular, you can find them in this thread that was started today https://beehaw.org/post/6945406
Sorry for leaving you on read.
Peglin is good! Look into roundguard as well. Similar style game. Also fun
Tl;dr?
- Slayers X
- The Forgotten City
- Peglin
- 5D Chess With Multiverse Time travel
- Duskers
The video is nothing but an unmarked ad. Not worth seeing. No idea why OP shared the video.
The video author is sneaky, though. There is one game in there that isn't an ad (it's even the highest in the list), and it's an ad for GOG, not the games itself.
Seems like you made some LARGE assumptions based on a very small amount of information that you didn't really pay attention to.
- The video is sponsored by Asus, hence the laptop ad break at 4:23.
- It sounds like he tried to work out a deal with GOG (which is an excellent company that I don't mind supporting) where the games he mentioned would go on sale to encourage people to buy them. And then the deal fell through, and only one of these games is on sale.
- All games are linked using an affiliate link, which is NOT the same as a paid ad.
I shared it because I like the creator and a game in the list I thought was cool. Nothing more to it.
The Forgotten City definitely got it's due last year. It was on an awful lot of people's GOTY lists. Which was warranted, because it's really really solid.
Duskers looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing the link!
Duskers is fun but I feel like it would put it over the top of it was even more scriptable, like Screeps or Bitburner. Whenever I played it I always imagined I might be able to get to a point where I could write code to play the game for me, but I don't think that was really the design goal of it.
I have it. It's awesome.
It's definitely worth the experience, even if only once.
SlayersX and Pelglin seemed interesting to me. Idk, they all seem neat, but not "Play or else" levels of neat.
Slayers X is also a spin-off game to Hypnospace Outlaw, which is an excellent game.
Forgotten City, Daniel Mullins’ trilogy (Pony Island, THE HEX, and Inscryption), and Dave the Diver are my “play or else” games.
I have 2 of those at least. Might give them a try.
I played The Forgotten City, and it's a really good adventure game (with very minimal combat). I'd recommend you to try it out if you haven't
You will play Fear&Hunger and feel true horror, you will play the lisa series and the masterfully fan made side stories and it'll change you forever . You will play off and find sense in it's nonsense.
Warning: all of those games contain stuff that can fuck you up if you're not expecting them, so check trigger warnings as required. That said, I'd also add OMORI and Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass to the list - IMO they are much better than OFF as both games and stories while playing with similar themes.
As someone who's played Duskers and 5D Chess (there's a league on the Discord!), those two games are phenomenal. I'll definitely play the rest
