In what way did you use it?  What does it mean?

Sounds like bollocks to me.

It's a bit like calling someone a soppy cunt but ever so slightly more derogatory. Soppy cunt is more of a backhanded compliment, melt is more of a low level insult, but there's not a lot in it.

You cried when Grandad died in Only Fools? You soppy cunt.

You cried at your kids' wedding? You fucking melt.

Weapon was a biggie but it’s had its time.  You massive tool.

Dicksplat was a popular one in primary school when I was a kid, should bring it back.

What thread is this again?

Oh yeah, I know that one.

Pretty sure I heard both splat and splash at school.

It wasn’t the best maintained building.

Flange has always been a go to, dunno why

Dropped out of use derogatory nouns not games reviews. Thread lock request plz.

It’s available through Game Pass too.

I wound up bouncing off it for the same reason as I did Fez, too many options for where to go opening up too quickly meaning that I lost track of where I’d come from and where I had yet to explore.

Yeah. I got lost once, for a fucking hour, but you're not really supposed to stray from the main path. It's linear but allows you backtrack for some reason, so you've got to be careful not to get turned around. I really wanted to like it and probably would have bought it if not for the day one GP appearance, but it's the worst Devolver published game I've played. Glad you enjoyed though Swirl.

Harold's Walk (New Nintendo 3DS) - One of the Nintendo 3DS's few 2021 games, and a New Nintendo 3DS exclusive at that. It's Mario 64 if Mario 64 was a trippy and very scrappy end-of-life title for the Nintendo 3DS by an inexperienced solo developer. Harold grunts his way across 10 levels, collecting 30 crowns so he can experience the game's doughnut-laden good ending. Pink nipples dot the landscape to help him jump high, while sore red nipples make him jump extremely high. The actual meat of the game is mostly adequate, the thing that is a bit annoying is the poor UI, quality-of-life features and introduction to the gameplay. There is no proper introduction to the controls anywhere in the game or in the digital manual. There is no explanation of what you are doing so, for example, it is unclear at first what the three boxes that light up next to each level on the level select represent (at first I thought they might represent different objectives like 'collect the crowns' and 'finish the level with full health' but they just represent the three crowns in each level). This cost me four British pounds and a 100% playthrough lasted 50 minutes. I was assured by a random on Twitter that this game is 'something special'. Hmm. [5]

Deathloop, PS5

Basically a streamlined fetch quest game disguised with the repeating day mechanism. Not doing anything new when you break it down but it's an interesting twist to freshen things ups.

Stealth is non existent. It's so much easier to rifle the dumb ai from a distance and be safe compared to getting spotted and wrecked by a number of well armed ai. I read a thread on reddit and that was suggesting the latest patch made the ai more aware and stealth was easier before. There is a buff that can be used to make stealth more like it was before - so need to try that.

Graphics are lovely but nothing earth shattering - tech wise. Some of the shadows are really messed up with odd frames applying incorrect shadows to a significant part of the screen, and then vanishing the next frame. But mostly, it's a very pretty game.

Sound is pretty decent with weapons having a good sound and the 3d'ness is ok but nothing special - at least you can tell where the ai are. But it's no hide in the shadows listen to footsteps game.

Character dialogue - can someone write some code to not repeat the same phrases so close together. Hearing 2 ai say the same things within a second of each other is just annoying, "Hellooo", "Ridiculous", "You can't hide", urgh. But there are some funny lines in the scripted conversations.

Voice acting is very good and the two main characters are excellent.

Music is a taste thing but I found it mostly rubbish and had it turned down to 25%.

Controls really well and is very smooth to play with the controller.

It's very much a go here and do that game and there isn't a lot left for you to work out - even with the objective markers turned off (which I only turned on from time to time and then only to get to somewhere quicker). There are a few optional things I've left to work out later so it doesn't hand hold for everything. And there is a lot of stuff going on in the game that all has to tie together.

I thought it was really good and definitely recommended. And I will be revisiting to mess around with stealth (normally my preference for these games) and to work out some of the optional things I didn't complete before.
