I’ve just played “into the breach”. Does anyone know if metal slugs tactics is tooo similar or not

[@two-nichegaming]

Metal Slug Tactics looks like it fills a void a delayed Advanced Wars didn't.

[@fearghalbarry7866]

...they are completely different genres.

[@finnmarr-heenan2397]

games in separate genres can fill the same void , for example if u where watching an anime and wanted to recreate a battle you could play a competitive fighter, a scrubby fan service arena fighter, an rpg, a mobile deck builder . It all depends on how specific the scratch ur trying to itch is. If u just want Italians then the mafia trilogy works but Italians and a plat formed then it’s a Mario

The hosts of the show are humans with real feelings. They had hopes that don’t align with yours. It’s okay for them to feel down. For those of us who learned history in school, this feels very familiar, and it’s scary.

​@@branboom3342 tell that to the j6ers

It CAN BE deeply troubling when a convicted criminal who wants to be a fascist/autocrat wins the presidency and the senate… and the supreme court… maybe the house. Shouldn’t we be somewhat worried that dictators around the world are celebrating? And billionaires are celebrating? Half the country got tricked into voting against their best interests. That’s sad. This is a VERY different election. We’re not talking about John Mccain winning here.
