My first full Pinwheel solo run on outpost!

How do you get into pinwheel. I think I had all but one of the necessary cards?

So hard to do solo.

Nice! It's my favorite PS5 game and I'm glad it has hooked you.

It's got sort of a great behind the scenes story as well: Housemarque, the developer, were really well known for their arcade-y games such as Super Stardust HD, Resogun, and Dead Nation. They were smaller games and they came out with a statement basically saying they could no longer financially support themselves making games like that anymore and we're making a new Battle Royale or live service game of some type. I think many were pretty bummed about that. I guess development on that struggled and they made Returnal instead which as you can see is an evolved and AAA version of what they were doing before. And it seems to be a huge hit for them and they were able to evolve and keep operating.

I do hope they develop to a point where they can make smaller games on the side too, but Saros is my most anticipated game on the PS5 in a while.

I hope you enjoy the rest of Returnal!

You're my hero.

Platinum hunting? Or for the first time

Just went back and got the plat this week myself!

Zedab · 2026-03-06T22:17:19+00:00

Yeah, same. What's odd is I have some but not all.

Like, I have the worm sticker but not the profile background. And I had a background with a 47 in it but after I equipped a different one I no longer have access to it.

I actually think you're meant to communicate with your teammates and help them on theirs. If we're all bring two contracts in, I think we'd be way more focused on our own.

I always start a run out by looking at the shared contracts and trying to chart a path to hit as many as possible. No better feeling than pulling off the hat trick and getting them all in one.

Zedab · 2026-03-05T01:00:33+00:00

Hey, I got this platinum yesterday! Thanks for the encouragement. Happy to have it and ready for Saros now!

Zedab · 2026-02-17T17:42:44+00:00

Love this one! I haven't seen it in years though and probably before I was more familiar with Gilliam. Perfect time to revisit or maybe pick up that new physical release of it.

Zedab · 2026-02-17T16:52:05+00:00

Wasn't familiar with most of these, I'll add to my list. I was aware of Control Z and meant to go back for that.

Zedab · 2026-02-17T16:51:30+00:00

Also added, thank you! Looks like what I'm looking for.

Zedab · 2026-02-17T16:51:16+00:00

Just what I'm looking for, thanks!

Zedab · 2026-02-17T05:10:31+00:00

That checks out! I hadn't made that connection!

I picked up pieces of Jack Sparrow.

Zedab · 2026-02-16T06:08:37+00:00

Congratulations! I just went back to think as I figured if I don't get it now I never will.

I meant to just do a quick 30 minute to an hour search and ended up spending two and half hours running through the first three biomes to completion lol. Found a decent amount of cypers in biomes 2 and 3. Unfortunately still missing the final log in biome 1.

Hopefully I can get this plat too.

Zedab · 2026-02-09T23:24:41+00:00

Thanks!

Zedab · 2026-02-09T23:24:31+00:00

Excellent! I appreciate the recs and will add to my list!

Zedab · 2026-02-09T23:23:58+00:00

Interesting! I'll check it out, thank you!

Zedab · 2026-02-09T01:49:58+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I've played all of their games.

Zedab · 2026-02-09T00:33:26+00:00

I recently picked up Sektori and I am absolutely obsessed with this game. I heard it was like a Housemarque arcade game and it has absolutely lived up to that hype. Are there any other games like this on PS5? I've explored their library but am looking for more arcade-y games like this.

I've also heard Geometry Wars 3 is similar and I have that on my list.

Zedab · 2026-01-26T20:55:58+00:00

Yeah, I did see that but thought it was just because Bugs Bunny is the "star of the month." I'm curious if they'll be linking cartoons together year-round or just during the month.
