There are many many "zelda-likes" out there but if you are like me you will notice that the genre tag is artificially suppressed because its a copyright term. Adventure is a term common in the industry and its also was the name of a game for the Atari 2600 that was the template for the genre.

The definition can be something like "realtime games prioritising object based progression and exploration with a focus on lateral movement" (as opposed to numbers like RPGs or vertical movement like metroidvanias).

I think most people who are fans of the genre when they see "Adventure-like" they can put two and two together. Also because Zelda has been moving away from being a Zelda-like in the past decade it would be good to lock the genre in.

If enough people start tagging "Adventure-like" on your favorite distribution platform then we can create a category and culture for this very historically important style of game. lest the day when you google "games like zelda" and get elden ring.

It will also help to find games that suggest some form of open overworld rather than the infinite-castle situation that you find in metroidvanias.

For a small list:
"Mina the hollower", "Hyper Light Drifter", "Okami", "Death's Door", "Oceanhorn", "Tunic".

I'm sure theres some good 3d ones, if I could actually find them on steam.

Edit: People would be able to tell what "Adventure-like" means if you have any sort of understanding of games genres beyond "Shooter" you'll know its a game like zelda. Its THE "action-adventure" and its the missing "___-like". and the moment someone clicks on the category they will understand. You don't even need to know about the Atari 2600 game it just provides a framework.

Edit 2: an alternative is "Overworld-like". if there can be some sort of consensus prompted by this thread then if enough people create a tag then that'll help steam.

Its one of those things that I'm gonna be trying to rehear from my memory for the rest of my life. Genuinely amazing.

Is there a harm reduction resource from the electrolysis community for using 9v battery galvanic?

I am reading as much as I can but It would be nice to see a write up that isn't "No. Don't do it.".
I will be honest, I have been transitioning for a long time, I've been intending to have enough money. Once I did have enough money by skipping meals to afford a subsidised professional for a year. I do not have enough money to pay for electrolysis.
Its been years and I am over it. I've wasted a good chunk of my life trying and waiting to be in a position where I can afford electrolysis. I will never become a registered electro professional because I am trying to live my life. I am over being mistaken for something I haven't been for almost a decade when the light hits wrong. I'm a tough cookie but no. this is ridiculous.

Poor trans women from before the trans tipping point have less shadow than me. Thats because, anecdotally, they used a 9v battery.

I have spent a couple days reading each and many forum threads filled with practicioners saying "no don't do it unless there's no professional around". I have a schematic from a deleted site that was historically vetted. I will be using it.

This is about harm reduction. I am asking because you are professionals who want best for their clients. What are the things I need to know for safety in galvanic? Because there will be a lot of misinformation out there. I'd like to be certain.

And to be clear, I can't buy a machine, I'm not even certain I can buy a 50 pack of ballet. This is about procedure and not equipment.

I watched the veritasium video and maybe its me seeing so many things previously about how researching HIV medical care was heavily obstructed but I'd like to know how unlikely it is that someone intentionally triggered the destruction of AIDS medication manufacturing. Please don't include any philosophical debates about the morality of humanity I just want to know if it was impossible for it to have been intentional considering the knowledge base in 1997 and 1998.
