To add, some of you might be interested in Metal: Hellsinger too
How have you forgotten Remedy, with Alan Wake, Control, and Quantum Break?
I feel like Finland might be where I belong. If only I could realistically learn Suomi…
I can’t believe that “My Summer Car” isn’t on here, I feel like it fits the theme of amazing but slightly disturbing Finnish games
Finnish people are fucking crazy (non-derogatory)
Buncha perkele
Well we have long winters. That shit has an effect on humans who stay at these latitudes for longer times. In every sense, evolutionarily (light skin, blue eyes), culturally (we’re introverted as fuck) and personally (if you don’t supplement vitamins properly, mainly D, you will get at least slight changes to mood and whatnot).
I’d like to visit some actually Southern place, like in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Africa or Southern Asia or Australia. First to just see a proper sunset. Secondly, to see whether not everyone is as much of a dick as people I generally have lived around all my life.
How would you like an all expenses paid trip to Antarctica?
Maybe their winter could give us an answer…
By the way, if there’s anyone from Finland reading this, hello! 👋😃
Moi
I don’t think they like to be talked to that directly.
Oh beings of higher
existancelatitude if you would be so kind as to bless me with your knowledge and grace
Wait til you hear their music
Lots of weirdly emo ballads, TBH. The metal is good, but it’s still pretty niche from what I understand.
Korpiklaani and Turisas are pretty good starts if ya like metal.
I prefer bands like Skepticism, Impaled Nazarene, and Desecresy personally but each to their own 😉
And My Summer Car
Scandinavia in general, coffee stain consistently release, publish and offer continuous support for amazing games made by Scandinavians (drg, satisfactory)
Valheim <3
They own mobile games too: Supercell (clash of clans & royale, hay day, brawl stars) is Finnish SYBO Games (Subway Surfers) is Danish Rovio Entertainment (Angry Birds) is Finnish King (Candy Crush & more) is Swedish and RobTop (Geometry dash is Swedish too
The only place to rival them in classic mobile games is Australia which has Halfbrick (Fruit Ninja, Jetpack Joyride) and Hipster Whale (Crossy Road)
Oh and the Nordics are just as successful in mobile gaming with critically acclaimed mobile games: Playdead (Inside and Limbo) are Danish and Frogmind (Badland) is Finnish
Norwegians heard sobbing in the distance
…in their cabins, into piles of money
Surprised minecraft isn’t on this list!
Notch worked at King before, so MC is directly related to one of the companies on the list.
I think he’s alluding to the fact that Mojang is a Swedish studio. And of course Persson (Notch) is also Swedish.
Can’t forget goat simulator for extra weirdness
joar jakobsson is swedish too
Winter
step 1: gib autism bux
step 2: wait
step 3 : ???
step 4 : software released
step 5 : (tax incomes > autism bux investment) PROFIT
I wish I could forget about Baba Is You completely, I want that feeling I got when I did “What happen if I do ’ … IS KEY’?” again.
Especially the discovery of hidden content. Need amnesia device for this and a few other games.
Dang I haven’t played Noita in like a week
Thinking about it, it’s weird that it has no native Linux version
What’s wrong with proton
By itself nothing. It was more along the lines of “why doesn’t the Finnish game support the Finnish kennel”.
Noita doesn’t even need proton, it’s using OpenGL so plain wine is perfectly fine.
Keep it coming I say! Noita is easily my favorite game of all time. There’s an insane amount of depth and replayability.
So good! I love that I’ve got a ton of time in the game and there are still so many secrets and things I don’t know.
There are still secrets that nobody knows in Noita.
Eye messages, for one.
Boredom breeds creativity.
