VP, IGN. I post about: video games, pinball, board games, fatherhood, science, Lego, and shenanigans.
I regret to inform you all (and any Game Scoop listeners here) that I've been sucked back into Vampire Survivors so all I care about now is watching pixels explode satisfyingly and unlocking increasingly esoteric and unknowable secrets after every run.
I'll be back to conveyor belt games soon.

Welp I know this is the adult version of a dog ate my homework but I genuinely did just find like 60 fully-written but unsent emails in my drafts from the last several months🤦
Time to go through them and see if any of them can still be sent. 🫥

I've put 25 hrs into Against the Storm and I totally agree with the Overwhelmingly Positive reviews.
It's a super clever, satisfying, and addictive roguelike city builder.
Semi-random roguelite setup = you get the best parts of a city builder (the opening 1-2 hrs!) w/o it just feeling repetitive.

I played through most of Little Rocket Lab over the last few weeks and enjoyed it. A fun blend of Factorio + Stardew Valley:
store.steampowered.com/app/2451100/...
It's not as good as either of those all-time classics and isn't meant to last 100+ hours, but it's a very satisfying ~20hr journey.

IDK who needs to hear this but Kairosoft has been publishing their games to steam for a while now and they're discounted as part of the autumn sale.
Stacking game discounts + bundle discounts gets them down to ~$2-3 each, which is the right price for them IMO.
I just nabbed a bunch!

Upon reflection, I have figured out that my favorite genre of game is "just a bunch of weird little guys, running around."
Starcraft, Pikmin, Dwarf Fortess, Tropico, Kingdom Rush, Vampire Survivors.
Banished, Civilization, Rimworld.
Factorio is technically one guy but it counts thanks to bots.

I've started playing Factorio again, this time with the ultra-complex "masochistic" Pyanodon's overhaul mods. (I personally think Py's reputation is overblown).
Some shots of my factory -
1. Iron mining/smelting column
2. (Very) Early-game item mall
3. Simple steam setup
4. Ash storage/disposal

In Donkey Kong Bananza, Pauline's idle animations evolve over the course of the game as she learns to be more comfortable around DK. In the beginning, she looks around worriedly. After Sublayer 300, she starts ruffling his hair, and after Sublayer 1400, starts tickling him.

I know this is nothing new but it is always quite funny to me how long, 10+ hour international flights operate.
They served us a steak dinner with mashed potatoes and asparagus at like 10 am Munich Time and then turned out all the lights. Almost everyone then went straight to sleep.

Sakurai's great.
He talks about how Kirby seems too close to Mario Kart and perhaps too much like it. And it seems like he's about to say "but my game is more focused on speed / combat / minigames" or whatever.
But instead he just says basically "yeah, it's weird they're both so close. Anyway..."

Played and completed Is This Seat Taken? this weekend.

Controls a bit clunky on Switch and the core puzzles could have been further explored, but overall I'm a big fan.
A surprisingly charming story, good music. Overall very funny and clever.

I started Wheel World last night and cleared about ~70% of it in one sitting. Loved it. It's about ~4-5 hours total maybe:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmL1...
It's a perfect Game Pass game imo. Short, chill, vibes-based. Great bike control. Race around and explore. A little simplistic but that's OK.
