More of a "what games HAVE I played recently" thing:

https://coinplay.io/bundle/weekend-4

5 games for a literal dollar. Two of these (Nihilumbra and Back to Bed) are games I've heard are quite good, so much that I've purchased both, independently, for about 3 bundles worth of money, on sale.

One of the others is the game I literally have the most playtime of all the game I have on Steam for. It's a pretty great game, about permuting. I'll buy this package for literally anyone on this board who wants it. If only for Great Permutator. Oh and I GUESS those other 4 games, 2 of which I think are probably also reallllly good.

We've talked about making a dedicated directory of easy multiplayer levels, that's still on the agenda. New players run the risk of choosing any map, then be overwhelmed by failing to build their own route in the first place.

So, maps designed with new players in mind for multiplayer. Important things to consider:

1) New players are not as likely to know how overpowered blockers and the like can be. New players will have a lot harder time using other skills to turn or deflect Lix in maps where alternative methods are required. Skills that are usually avoided in levels made for expert players are needed for accessible levels.
2) Maps designed by and for expert players are fairly complicated. Simple maps for newer players are usually better. Balancing becomes less of an issue on these maps. Consider fewer wrappings, more open skillsets, etc.
3) Consider what levels might have been fun in multiplayer L1 in these designs. These levels were not made for experts, but for a couple friends playing together at home.
4) Difficulty ratings for multiplayer maps. It's a bit condescending for accessible maps to be called "Easy" as a rating and stuff. Multiplayer maps might be best rated in difficulty like single player levels. I propose a lot less flair in these ratings tiers' names (Something like Standard/Veteran/Pro/Extreme, where the easiest rating is considered the benchmark for play and not "baby mode"). In conjunction with 1), "repeat" levels can be made in harder skillsets without skills that can be very important crutches to a less experienced player but become really level-breaking to experts.

Nobody warned you about stairs?

Bumping this because the old link doesn't work anymore.

Here is the live Taxing runthrough.

Here is the first time Arino plays Lemmings, on the Tricky rating. Unfortunately, though, this is one of the few episodes without English subtitles.

Here's the 2nd video.

Much better video quality, but there's a lot of hiccups with the tech. Learning results in better videos in the future!

Ok, I'm setting this up right now, going to run Antichamber for a while and then see what else I have going.

(EDIT: Twitch is slow and didn't work for some reason, going to try somewhere else, Hitbox maybe)

Just found a relatively new game on Steam called Snakebird. Charming graphics, but REALLY hard. If you like really difficult puzzle games, I definitely recommend it.

I use a Roku player, and most of what I watch is Youtube videos. I used to like mainstream TV a lot more but it's kind of turned pointless nowadays, though I still have a Hulu subscription (don't know of anything to watch right now, though).
