    Yeah I didn't even bother with Oppenheimer and won't bother with this this.

    Momento is one of my favorite movies of all time and The Prestige is also really good, and Inception and Interstellar are both solid - but they also start the downward trend IMO with so much bad exposition and montage scenes and bloat and such (and were what I'd call his first foray into blockbusters).

    He's still talented enough that I'll at least hear about what he has coming out. Eg Aronofsky didn't have a good movie for over a decade, but still kept my tabs on him and really enjoyed The Whale. But this definitely isn't going to grip me into seeing it.

    If a word from it's own culture has always been a way, maybe it's the outsiders that are wrong.

    "Ya" being a recent addition in the last 30 years is straight up wrong. Ya had insanely common usage here pre-1985...like way before then Like it's weird to me that actual southerns are coming in...

    Like it's weird to me that actual southerns are coming in and saying "it's spelled this way" and ya'll northerners are coming in and saying "you're spelling you're own word wrong"

    So you'd see it in dialog of a novel for a southern character, but actual southerners don't write like that because they know what word they're saying.

    As someone who comes from a century+ long generational family in the south (and all the political fun that comes with that), it's funny to be told how it is we write apparently. Don't look at my families written historical items I guess. As well as the fact that dictionaries are used to prove how I'm wrong even though I started with the fact that it's dictionaries that are wrong. Dictionaries are not infallible.

    But the cultural imperialist normally win out, as they get to write what the rules are

    Also, and this isn't pointed at you, but it's spelled "ya'll" not "y'all" It is not a combination of "you" and "all" (which is what everybody thinks it is, and how you'd get ya'll). It's a...

    It is not a combination of "you" and "all" (which is what everybody thinks it is, and how you'd get ya'll).

    It's a combination of "ya" and "all". Hence why it's pronounced at all. The apostrophe goes between the two words, like it always does - hence "ya'll"

    Fucking yankee-ass dictionaries and autocorrects making everybody spell it wrong

    Some other ones listed in the thread I want to try out first but def looks interesting! I really appreciate the spread of genres in this thread.

    Out of curiosity, since it says it has split screen co-op on the Steam page, is that something it's good for? While this was a thread simply for me, always looking for good split screen co-ops!

    Thanks for the tip! And probably shouldn't be surprising since growing up playing games meant going to an arcade lol

    I'm going to suggest games off the beaten path, as I imagine you're aware of the bigger name titles.

    The autobattlers I know are HS's Battlegrounds, the League of Legends one, and the DOTA Autochess one...so if there's any other big ones let me know.

    That said though, you definitely gave me enough to go off of for now with how helpful the post is. I think Gods vs Horrors has me the most interested but I plan to check them all out. I'll let you know what I think as I go through them though!

    Oh man, didn't think of Rocket League while posting this but it's 1000% on point. It's crazy how "simple" the game is but like you said there's a nearly infinite skill ceiling - was amazing going from starting the game to building skill to Diamond level and still having so much to learn (which, frankly, didn't want to put in the practice to get that good - and that's okay I simply appreciated the fact that there simply was still more to learn)

    Unfortunately, I mostly played duos with a friend of mine and it's been hard to play without them. The game really is on another level of fun when you're able to play with someone that you have a lot of experience with; ie he was the dribbler and passer, and I played defense or came in for the shot if I could see him setting something up. And just all the different ways we could play off each other from knowing what the other person was likely going to do.

    I definitely might try some solo again now since it's been a few years though!

    In terms of OSU, I had heard of it before but never looked into it...someone previously mentioned FPS in this thread and I think it's like them - something I would enjoy, but I don't play with a mouse/KB and it looks like it's something that would be severely hampered by playing with a controller. Do you think that's a fair assessment? The fact I wouldn't have the foundation of that with OSU, like I do with FPS games, does seem like it wouldn't be as frustrating of a transition at least

    Ohh the beat-em-up aspect also makes me think of God Hand, which I quite enjoyed back on the PS2. If you know that old game, do you think they are comparable?

    Aw man, I didn't even think about talking about FPS in my post - but they are what got my into gaming! Wolfenstein 3D is the first PC game I ever played and I spent so much time in clan battles[1] in Quake 3 and Wolfenstein: ET

    They 100% fit what I'm talking about, but I strictly play with a controller (PC connected to TV; sitting in front of a PC is for work) or on my Steam Deck these days - and it just feels wrong to not have a keyboard and mouse. I actually tried to play DUSK several years ago because of how much of a love letter it is to the games I grew up on, but just got frustrated trying to do it on a controller.

    I actually never played Quake 1-2; are they pure horizontal shooters like Wolfenstein 3D? Didn't think about it but that should work a lot better with a controller.

    [1] it's crazy how the gaming landscape has changed with esports taking over clans 😭

    I did download it (though warning you'll get a warning about it being a HTTP link) and does work for free! I'd definitely be down for a Tildes Discord/whatever night going to try the game out :)

    Oh man, I had actually meant to ask about Hollow Knight during the skill-based section because part of me making this thread was wondering if the series would be up my alley with Silksong coming out. So thank you for mentioning it! I'm definitely not completely "anti" anything I brought up because anything can still work, so the fact you normally avoid metroidvanias but still enjoyed it definitely makes me more interested! Some other games listed in this thread I want to try first but definitely will see how Hollow Knight is.

    Looking at screenshots of Celeste on Steam makes me think of Super Meat Boy (another game I did enjoy and fits the mold I'm talking about) - would you say that's a fair comparison for it?
