Hello Future Me did a Video on Video Game Worldbuilding, pretty much describing what I mean by "Metaphorical distances" in Video Games among other things.

You ever see someone complain about a plot hole in your fic in one chapter that you know is explained or expanded upon in a later chapter? When I see those I feel like they take too much effort not to respond to. Responding can lead to a stupid argument but not responding leaves someone with a false impression of your work. I find typing out a response but not sending it satisfies the itch to respond without the possibility of a pointless argument, but it's still ultimately a waste of time. I feel like it's one thing if you don't like my writing, but it's an entirely different issue if you've read over 20 chapters in but can't read 5-7 more to see a supposed plot hole filled in/explained at a plot relevant time. I feel that it's a personality flaw on my part that I feel compelled to respond in the first place, even if I don't.

I think you may have posted in the wrong thread by mistake, this is the video games thread.
 
So the Shovel Knight creators put out their new top down 2D soulslike Zeldaish game, Mina the Hollower. A Hollower being one of a guild of burrowing explorers/geologists exploring caverns and other hollows of the earth. Yeah, the name's a bit of a stretch.

Still, it's a fun, challenging 2D Zelda game that isn't shy about the Bloodborne and Castlevania inspiration while still feeling like its own thing. Has fun mechanics with lots of ways to customize your moveset with equippable trinkets and is always throwing some new shit at you to keep it fresh as it goes along.

I do have some complaints in that there's some things that hurt when you're burrowing that feel like they shouldn't like fire on the surface and sometimes it can be annoying with where it sets you back after falling in a pit. But overall it's a good damn game that I spent most of the weekend swearing at. :V

Blood West:
The new DLC is releasing tomorrow. Woot.

Grim Dawn:
Fangs of the Asterkarn finally has a Release Date: July 23.

Cast'n'Chill:
They now have a cabin you can build and lake you can populate that replenishes when you're not fishing it. It's meant to advertise their upcoming Game in the Setting.

Witcher III:
Thank ROB I figured out the short dodge a while ago. Tuissaint is absolutely infested with leaches and they all move at 1000 frames every half second, I blink and the invulnerability ability gets expended from full health for an alp half my Level. The vamps got the zoomies. I thought that was just Dettlaff but NOPE! Fight a fleder and I see it shoot into the air and suddenly a meteor flattens Geralt a half second later (the Bestiary was not exaggerating about being "stronger then a fiend"). Also useful for the giant centipedes.

Also getting even more of a workout on that Axii upgrade. My ROB was that the greatest investment. Axii can't make up its mind as to if Axii works on individuals or groups. On that note annoying how Geralt keeps immediately jumping to shoving his long hard rod into everyone unless specifically forced to fist them instead. Got him in trouble with two towns from how eager he is to murder people in bar fights. I still am forcing it to be sheathed though, even if the Narrative decides his fists count as knives.

Also finding the Piercing Cold mutation the most useful even though the mutation granted ability slots are always empty.

Now have grandmaster feline armour. Need that stamina refill.

Gwent: I hate the Skellege Faction. I still won the tournament but had to Save Scum.

Huh, so this is where that Game they made a Gameplay Trailer for from 10 years ago went.
