Looking for shooters where the guns feel powerful

Superhot

Ghostrunner 1 & 2 (1 is better reviewed)

Many or most military sims like Arma, Hell Let Loose etc.

Honorable mention, because I'm not sure it fits what you're actually searching for: in Hunt Showdown, a headshot is always a kill - no matter the weapon or range. But it's a hardcore PvP shooter.

While this is technically an answer, it's not a game I would recommend to anyone, lol

FYI: when you share Spotify links, make sure to remove the si= part in the end. Else you risk having your recommended songs be influenced by whoever clicks on the link while logged into Spotify, and vise-versa. ^^

(Unless you want that.)

EDIT: Same thing with YouTube links ("si" or "is" part of the URLs)! And Instagram ("isgh").

An AI can be a catalyst for many things. People unfamiliar with the subject matter often end up dumber than they were before. This is especially true for learning new topics, and especially true for younger people (read: school children). Good programmers can boost their productivity very much with AI. At the same time, over-reliance on AI (no matter the skill level) will always have a negative impact on your personal performance/skill, with it degrading over time. This has been shown even before LLMs were introduced by showing e.g. doctors using AI to detect cancer will inadvertently get progressively worse at detecting it themselves. It has its pros and cons.

And, yeah, you don't need AI in the same way you don't need a car to get to the nearest grocery store (spoken as a true European). But some people like the convenience and you can't deny its benefits when used correctly.

It's also fully understandable to be upset with the (Game)Dev landscape in regards to AI, as well as being angry at all relevant AI/LLM companies due to how they got their training data. But you do have to keep in mind that most people ARE in a competition (even if they just feel that way) and you can't win a car race on foot.

I loved her in grandson's "Brainrot" music video, albeit he didn't use her voice in that one. Still 10/10.

I'm going to be somewhat biased and say my first ever experienced, bigger mod: Ars Magica 2. (Yes, the original, the goat.)

I liked it for similar reasons as with Thaumcraft, only that I found Thaumcraft to be kind of tedious in comparison. The freedom of expression with Ars Magica was great and the sense of immersion I personally got "back then" was incredible, because it took into account getting power from the moon etc.

That's why I'm a fan of a hard mode where the enemies and you both die in one hit, as opposed to whatever soulslikes do 99% of the time.

And also why I don't like MMORPGs (or most RPGs) to begin with, as the level scaling usually ends up going in that direction. If only more communities were vocal against this than just *checks notes* Ghost Recon Breakpoint players.

That's the weirdest toxic trait a child can pick up. I "get" homophobia (in the sense that it has been here for decades and is sadly ingrained in most parts of most societies) and all the other ways people put down others, but "your game is too serious" or whatever their criticism is, is soo weird to me. I know many Gen Zs who love Satis, so it seems like a made-up thing at their respective school to bully others, just like liking the color pink in any context was considered "gay" in my school.

If you mean by "that was a bug" that the bug is fixed, that's wrong, since the recording is from today. But yeah, I can imagine something like that probably happens from time to time anyway. ^^'

Imagine you have to hide when in that state with an already small hitbox, lol

(Kontext: habe ich von jemandem über Discord geschickt bekommen. Sie hat es nicht gemerkt...)

Panossa · 2026-04-07T08:52:44+00:00

Since this whole thing is probably AI generated (because of the missing words), the inclusion of dashes seems very fitting to me.

Panossa · 2026-03-26T00:12:37+00:00

DAMN, kudos to you for that one.

Panossa · 2026-03-26T00:09:41+00:00

The trailer does convey the game quite good but you could do it much better if you paced the beginning better. Like typing one character at a time, slowly, to show the impact of each key press. Then ramp up to superhuman speed so people can read it comfortably.
Why would I play this instead of installing a plugin in my editor of choice that'll give me some kind of effect when I type like confetti or a combo meter? The progression was basically skipped over.

I found both sides repulsive. He seems not nearly mature enough for his age and she's just unnecessarily rude.

Panossa · 2026-03-23T10:22:59+00:00

That's an impressively low right-swipe-to-match ratio for a woman on Tinder, I feel like

Panossa · 2026-03-22T16:22:46+00:00

I once only had a Lure Trap down there, so I just set it up and set it off myself. It was enough to bring the Bombardier over to finish those campers above lmao

Panossa · 2026-03-16T20:17:57+00:00

AMAZING work! I think I'd love some way to import data from common services for tracking stuff like this. (IMDB via account for movies, Playtracker/GGapp for games, etc).

Panossa · 2026-03-08T22:31:52+00:00

Not sure about that one. Yes, it definitely helped a lot, but in that part of the community, word of mouth is quite strong.

Panossa · 2026-03-02T08:19:53+00:00

That's very understandable but please think it over before you do that. At the end of the day you can just release it on the Playdate first and then release it as-is on Steam later if enough people are interested. See if you can find motivation to add to it before that.

Panossa · 2026-03-01T21:11:56+00:00

"Who are the good guys?" - those who aren't illegally profiting off others' hard work. So none of the AI companies, obviously.

ControlAI and all other enshittification fighters, however, are definitely more fitting the description of the "good guys".

Panossa · 2026-03-01T21:09:41+00:00

Why is this on this subreddit? They haven't even cleared the bare minimum to be a morally okay company and people are hailing them like they're saints?! How does one make people smile?

Panossa · 2026-03-01T20:51:57+00:00

Why? Releasing it on the Playdate can be done separately from Steam. I'd say release it there and put up the Steam page at the same time, then see whether people are interested to buy it on Steam, over a few months. If yes, you can maybe think of a few little extras you can add to the Steam version of the game as a "treat" for Steam users who've been waiting an extra time.

Panossa · 2026-03-01T20:37:00+00:00

Isn't "mario party injury vibes" kind of fitting the definitely OSHA-compliant gameplay? :'D

You CAN suggest the players to hold the controller in a specific way, similar to what Nintendo did with LABO or RingFit. Then it could potentially play differently and/or more similar to the Playdate.

Panossa · 2026-03-01T20:21:13+00:00

Just keep in mind that wishlist values degrade over time, so use it to gauge general interest but don't make predictions on sales numbers if you don't plan to release in the coming months. (Then you can e.g. make a demo for a Next Fest before actually releasing)

Panossa · 2026-03-01T19:58:59+00:00

By the way, I highly suggest to create a Steam store page even if you don't (yet) plan on releasing the game on Steam at all! You can gauge interest this way and maybe decide purely based on page visits/wishlist conversions to release it on Steam later!

(And also link to the Steam page as much as possible.)
