Sup.
Yeah but some of that stuff doesn’t really do anything for me. The depths are alright, the sky map is too empty, with most of the islands looking nearly the exact same, the caves all have the same look. The abilities are cool, crafting is cool, new characters are nice. I hate everything about korok seeds, and the Hudson puzzles can easily be cheesed to the point that you can use the same solution for almost all of them.
I only played BotW back in 2021, so that’s why I remember so much haha. I guess a break wouldn’t hurt.
Yeah, Mirror’s Edge is that first person parkour game. If you haven’t played it yet, I definitely recommend giving it a shot. I love how the levels flow, and I find myself getting a lot better every time I run through the game.
Playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. It’s sad, though. I’ve noticed my urge to play the game slowly drop more and more once I realized how much of the map, weapons, and music is borrowed from BotW. Sometimes, it feels like I’m just playing BotW 2.0 instead of a proper sequel. Still, I keep making progress.
Replaying Paper Mario TTYD. I really love this RPG and the Paper Mario series as a whole. Really hope we get a proper RPG for the next game in the series, with partners, badges and all that stuff.
I’m also replaying Mirror’s Edge. One of my favorite games, thanks to the setting and soundtrack. It still looks beautiful, despite it coming out in 2008.
Yes, but you’ll have to build the decomp version yourself. It’ll be kept separate from the steam version you already have installed. Fair warning as it looks a bit complicated. Here’s a guide: https://gamebanana.com/tuts/15254
Before mod support, the decomp project allows for the game to be ported to more systems. Tbh, I’m not completely sure what all the differences are, but the two things that matter the most are the possibility to port to other systems, and the mods that can now take advantage of the decompiled code, allowing for mod support that wouldn’t be possible on the steam version.
Have you looked at the github page for the mod? This was listed as a known bug:
“LOADING A SAVEDATA.BIN WITH AN AMY SLOT OUTSIDE OF EXTRA SLOT AMY WILL CRASH THE GAME UPON ENTERING MANIA MODE. BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL SAVEDATA.BIN!!!”
Edit: Looks like this mod was made for use with the Sonic Mania Decomp, not the version of Mania you use on Steam.

I don’t have any mods that focus on improving the base game itself, so I’ll give the ones I have downloaded and find enjoyable.

It’s fantastic. If you’re new to the series, it’s the best game to start with due to how many items and gear are available to help you out. It’s also a great place to start story-wise too (even though these games’ stories aren’t important or big anyway) since it’s a retread of Pikmin 1’s story, but expands on it with more characters.
I can comfortably beat all games in the series, so difficulty-wise, I think it’s the easiest in the series. The game definitely becomes difficult in the dandori battles (where your efficiency skills are put to the test in a battle against a cpu to collect the most treasure).
As for downsides, this game has no true coop either, which is a bummer since Pikmin 3 Deluxe included this feature. The second player option in this game acts as a helper instead of controlling a full character. There are no difficulty options either, and a new game+ would be nice as well.
Overall, I give the game a 9.5/10.
Rayman Legends, a 2d platformer. Super fun. I also suggest trying a Pikmin game. The first 3 games are all on switch now, and you can also try out the demo for the 4th one.
My other suggestions:
It’s not just you. It’s the only role of his I know personally too lol
