Yeah, it’s not trendy but I don’t think we can do trendy unless we do like I said and derive from standout games with identifiable suites of mechanics. You just have to be descriptive or accept heavy overlap.

“Auto shooter” is not very descriptive. In 10 years, someone would be having this same conversation about that term. Asteroids is basically an auto shooter because there’s no reason to not always be shooting, it’s effectively a QOL change. Some bullet hells too.

Video game genres are one of the few fields in which I’m not a prescriptivist. But survivorlikes only aren’t called RPGs because Vampire Survivor is embossed on the whole subgenre. The suite of mechanics rose to high prominence on the back of one game (or franchise, in the case of Soulslikes) rather than refined through years of experimentation.

We aren’t going to get more, simple names unless they’re similarly derived from a single, famous ancestor like your “Soulslike”. But you can always just be descriptive. Diablo/PoE are “top-down gear-grind RPGs”; it’s jargony but all subgenres are.

I’ve never seen Horizon Zero Dawn called an ARPG but that does seem to be the consensus. I’ve always considered games like that or new God of War to be “adventure games”.

No, they don’t. They both forget he exists.

I’d almost believe that he didn’t because he’s so supremely weird about wanting a lot of children and that didn’t seem like a “to term” operation Epstein was running. But I could be wrong, I have no idea; I never dug into details about pedo island.

Man, I sure hope Musk doesn’t kill himself the exact same way that Epstein didn’t.

It’s shapeshifting. Extendoknob dongkeys.

Are you talking about a strap-on…or what’s going on here?

Don’t tempt them. Or they’ll keep releasing Deltarune(-derivative clones) for the next 5 years

Try new “Hole”. Scream, stare, jork, or shit. Anything is possible with “Hole”. Certified organic and biodegradable.

New “Hole”!

Well, abyss certainly has the spirit but the technique seems off. Try gently guiding abyss with clear, direct instructions, like “lower” or “mas lengua”, to help them improve. Lovemaking, like all relationships, is all about communication.

Sorry, I’m really not getting it. I’d love to play in the space but I’m just not.

Pretty sure Brits do height in cm. But even if they did do feet and inches, then I’d have to understand it as “you” (the person miscontruing their statement) counting OnlyFans account subscriptions by the number of feet they have? Which is a very telling misunderstanding to have.

There has to be something I’m missing.

Nah, the grim reaper is a gooner.

…I’m not making Nonna’s ragu over here. I need precision here.

My scale doesn’t account for that. Where did you get yours?

I have seen variations of the vegetable innvoation in the wild, although you can never tell when things are ironic anymore

Idk if they even really need to touch. Y’know that sorta telepath thing where you touch your forehead unnecessarily.

I think it’s just close enough proximity to do the biotic banging.

Oh god no, I don’t talk to people in public any more.

I have repeatedly gotten “oldman yells from porch” angry when seeing a string of "peak"s and "absolute cinema"s in the comments under any form of media which, at best, can only claim it wasn’t trying to sell me something. I won’t get further into that because it’s not productive and probably sounds elitist.

You don’t have to do PIV to meld with them or even get an asari pregnant…so probably no hallucinogenic sex mucus.
