    My initial opinion of the singles that came out before the album release was "eh, they're fine." Probably because the previous album was not too long ago (14 months?) and the banger collab with Amy and Courtney was still top of mind. I find I'm enjoying them more when taken as part of the whole album.

    "Dying to Forget" is currently my stand-out favourite.

    Yeah, I'm seeing the same. I checked reddit, and people were also asking for this. Dev comment from 6 days ago:

    There was one 20 years ago with Tom Cruise and young Dakota Fanning, directed by Spielberg, that at least made an effort. Reception was mildly positive. I remember hating the ending, which I think just doesn't translate well to film (however I confess I haven't read the story, and I may have hated it there too).

    Under new ownership, Swedish company Instabridge.

    In the post they say they are considering adding ads to the free version. Apparently the newest update already includes the ad libraries.

    They say they are "evaluating" open sourcing it (something that was supposed to be contractually obligated to happen after the original app author left Branch, the previous company that had acquired it).

    Yep, played with a controller. I did try out mouse and keyboard for a minute but I did switch back right after figuring out the parry button haha.

    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2

    Got it in the Steam Winter Sale and played the campaign over the holidays. It has a lot of aesthetic similarities to Gears of War. A squad of dudes with big bulky armor fighting hordes of monsters. It's really impressive how many enemies they have running around on screen, and you can rip through. You get a melee weapon (knife/sword/chainsword/warhammer) that pairs with a pistol, and a primary weapon (machine gun/shotgun-like/sniper rifle). They also have enemy executions that reminded me of DOOM 2016 (but they were apparently also in the first Space Marine game from 2011 that I haven't played).

    I played on normal difficulty, and I felt like I never truly got the hang of parrying telegraphed attacks or dealing with ranged attackers properly while getting swarmed. I might play it again the future and try to hone some of those skills. There are a couple of different game modes I could try but I'll probably just stick with campaign.

    Roughly the first half you fight Tyranids (bug-like aliens the Zerg from StarCraft are based on) and the second half you fight Chaos Marines (like Space marines but evil and magical?). I liked fighting the Tyranids a lot more. Chaos Marines look very similar to your Ultramarine bros, down to the blue armor, so I had to do a few double-takes. Some of them also teleport around, which adds to the confusion (maybe that's thematically appropriate...).

    It ran kind of stuttery on my laptop at times but I was able to ignore it enough. The audio was borked if I used bluetooth headphones, so I also played with speakers and a lot of fan noise - another throwback for me to Gears on the 360 with the noisy disc drive.

    I guess I should write something about the story. It was...meh. I don't know the 40k universe that well (nor the story for Space Marine 1) and after being dropped into one faction I don't feel I know it much better. I certainly achieved some military objectives, saw some cool visual spectacle moments, and proved to my allies that I'm the real deal. But I still kind of have the feeling that nothing really mattered.

    Reading through the FAQ, seems like pretty much nothing is changing other than ownership (unless they're somehow lying)

    Interesting tidbit from a youtube comment:

    Fun fact; Koji Kondo had originally intended to use Ravel's Bolero on the title screen for Zelda on the NES but they found out it was still [copyright] protected so he had to compose an original song but you can still hear the similarities.

    Here's an article that transcribes him talking about it in an interview (original source was on nintendo.com but the link doesn't work anymore...not going to bother hunting it down).

    I recently finished beating A20 on my 3rd profile. I think I'm still not very good at A20 (other than Watcher Rushdown lol), and when I come back from other games I'm used to winning at, it can feel really frustrating sometimes. At lower levels there's way more room for different build-arounds (and mistakes of course). So I feel like I have more fun down there, but also probably pick up "bad" habits.

    I'd be VERY surprised if sts2 didn't come to mobile, but if Defect is "just" a mod character, you sadly wouldn't have access to them there. Unless... Recently I've seen some videos of people playing their Steam games on Android through one of two apps: GameNative and GameHub. Not sure if they support mods.
