It is on my wishlist. It did not make tomorrow's $66 budget however.
Full game, yes... Demo, no. http://www.cross-code.com/en/start

You wanted kitten pictures. There's only three of them now (see the Sad thread), but there's still kitten pictures.

So little...

So, I just came across an interesting, early access indie Action RPG: CrossCode. And now I'm going to gush a bit about it.
Looking around shows that it seems to be moderately well known, but I was immediately struck by the sheer level of polish in it, one beating many published games and which I've only seen matched among early access games by Factorio and AM2R.
It's not finished, and lasts about 15-20 hours so far but what's done is very well done.
To begin with you start as Lea, a character who is not so much "stuck" in an MMO, as traveling through it in order to recover her memories. And likewise not so much a "heroic mime" as fully able to put more personality and expression into three words than many characters get with a full vocabularies. Rather than being the player avatar, she stands as her own character, and one who both has a distinct personality and is very easy to engage with as a character.
As far as actual gameplay goes, the combat system is quite well polished, even with numerous powerups still saying "not implemented yet", and only gets better as one progresses towards unlocking its elemental variants. It feels like a proper branching path, with the option to either make a balanced build, or aim for specialization.
Setting wise the game itself does a very good job on selling the idea that the world is a popular MMO, Players run to and fro along thoroughfares, guilds and frustrated players hand ask for favors just as do NPCs, and folks you meet early on can be seen in the background progressing alongside you. (From both party members and rivals, to even simple running gags such as the girl who inexplicably sits on tables when there are chairs instead.)
The music is good, and the art can only be described as "gorgeous".
Lastly, I would be remiss not to mention the ice floors, which don't take up much of the game, but are notable in that sliding on ice + twirly dodge mechanics + fire element = flaming ballerina.

BOGO stands for Buy One, Get One.  If you want to say Buy One, Get A Discount On One, then say BOGADOO, not BOGO.  No, I don't care if you've got fine print below saying "fifty percent off", that would be BOGOFPO.  You can't have a great big BOGO on your sign unless it's actually Buy One, Get One, period!

Grey hairs?  I got my first grey hairs in junior high!  Came in handy, too, when I was fresh out of vet school, a year younger than most of my classmates, and trying to look like I was old enough to know what I was doing.
Now that I'm old enough to look like I know what I'm doing without the greys, my hair has magically returned to being 100% Dark Auburn.  Or occasionally Medium Auburn.
By your logic I should've been over the hill before my first quarter-century.
Besides, the hill isn't symmetrical.  There's a relatively gentle slope on one side, and a sharp drop-off on the other.  (My goal is to hang around on the side of the hill in between.  ;-)

Not only is the hill not symmetrical, it isn't even consistent across trips. What a disagreeable formation.
 

If we go by the average of ages my family has died, the summit would be less than 40. Lord knows we've started greying well before then.

All the cool kids are using internal combustion or hybrid electric engines nowadays.

Probably all of the shiny games available quickly became a major distraction.

I think because in less than a week if rumours are true, wallets are going to be crying out in anguish.

I love it when rival games clash on twitter.

If I can't laugh at myself, I'll miss out on some of the best humour life has to offer.

I'm an old hack.

My age varies with whatever year it is.

The irritation is annoying but my vision is improving. The color spectrum and light levels seem a little off but not problematically so. I believe the chunk out the iris may have expanded part of my peripheral vision somewhat but I notice no other difference.

My condolences.

You know I did not think it possible to like him less than I already had yet somehow I do now.
BTW, having dealt with a good deal of chicken ordure lately, it's slightly more pleasant than him.

Because I think he is a piece of chicken ordure.
