What does "requires manual removal" in the second screenshot mean?

I love the incongruity in the trailer between the typical appearance of a cozy, Stardew Valley-esque game, the lilting, uplifting music…and that one poor guy dying over and over to man-sized spider attack, avalanche, rockfall trap, etc. 🤣

Oh, that makes sense. The town's pronounced HEE-lo so I didn't make the connection.

And I didn't know we had a state soil, huh! It's found around here, which is probably related to Hilo farmers being famous in the ancient mele (songs) throughout the islands.

As a resident of Hilo, Hawaii I'm not sure why they named a game mode that (the Hawaiian meaning of "to twist, braid" doesn't seem particularly relevant), but okay! :unsure:

"Snake but with jumping" simultaneously feel like a "eureka!" moment, and also a concept so obvious that it must have been done before. :unsure:

I know it's supposed to look inspiring, but I can't help seeing the guy in the thumbnail of the launch trailer as doing an A-pose. :happy:

Quoting: pbPlease remind me, will these demos disappear right after NextFest or will they stay available? Or at least stay in my library if I install them now?

The most likely outcome is that they will disappear, though sometimes developers keep them around afterwards. But if there isn't something explicitly saying that, I wouldn't bet on it.

I'm kind of in the same boat, no pun intended. I adored FTL for the freedom it gave you in combat. I'm not sure I would've enjoyed it as much if combat had involved deck building. Don't get me wrong, I also love Slay the Spire so it's not like I dislike deck-based combat in general, it's just that FTL had that incredible tactical freedom to pursue so many different options depending on your loadout.

That said the trailer's short enough that I didn't get much of an idea of what gameplay would be like, so I'll reserve judgement for now and see how it plays closer to release.

Looks interesting, and wishlisted! And not actually Dune related as I thought from a casual read of the headline. :whistle:

Seems a bit optimistic to call it The Last Plague. :tongue:
