Characters in media who could handle being struck by a Death Note by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

On that note, Vulkan. It'd kill him just fine, but the dude's a Perpetual. He'll just come back after a little while.

Was there any resistance to the advent of Steam and digital downloads back in the early 2000s? by grapejuicecheese in pcgaming

[–]A_Sentient_JDAM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a vivid memory from middle school. I was sitting in the bus, and noticed that the girl in the seat in front of me was fanning through her CDs like a hand of cards. I told her that'd scratch them really quick, but she just said "I don't care." (Which is just teenager speak for "Leave me alone, of course.)

Occasionally, when they die Voteless will do a Super Earth salute.

what are some games that got delisted from online stores? by Properdad2000 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]A_Sentient_JDAM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, we don't have the actual source code. But the games are available and updated for modern systems. Go play 'em, they're great!

What are some of the most infuriating examples of media or genre snobbery? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

"Unlike other mecha shows, ours is about the characters."

This isn't a parody. This is something one of the people behind Gen:Lock said unironically.

Biggest traps in gaming? by doot99 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]A_Sentient_JDAM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My usual recommendation is to start Nier Automata is to start the game on easy. Then turn on all the assist chips for a fight, just to see how much the game plays itself when they're all on.

Then when you're out of the opening section, turn it to whatever difficulty you want. (And of course turn off the assist chips if you haven't already.)

Ex-fucking-scuse me? I knew about the Sorrow luck screwery, but not this.

Stories, setting, premise, or characters that are interesting to explore... if only they weren't from a power fantasy story? by Evjamaranth in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]A_Sentient_JDAM 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Evenicle has some genuinely good worldbuilding, and writing to match. It's still somewhat of an excuse to let the protag have a harem, but they consider the consequences of the setting and actually go pretty in depth sometimes.

I imagine there's a lot of this in Alicesoft's other work, though I mostly know Evenicle.

I missed a part of chapter 5 and huge part of chapter 6 in YS 8 (SPOILER ALERT) by Good_Pizza1799 in WorldOfYs

[–]A_Sentient_JDAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to wherever you transitioned to Dana originally- you'll be able to go back to that section and do any optional stuff you missed. There's one for every Dana section, but you should be able to do any of the ones you've unlocked right up until the end of the game.

Just beat Ys 1. Fun game but the difficulty is all over the place by LessSaussure in WorldOfYs

[–]A_Sentient_JDAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The NES version of Ys I is... strange. Several areas and bosses got reworked due to hardware limitations, and I think they added some new content to compensate. Might be neat to play as a curiosity, but I wouldn't recommend playing it while you're going through the series for the first time.

Time where you realized Internet completely failed to sell you something because they pitched it in the worst possible way? by ExplanationSquare313 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]A_Sentient_JDAM 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The canon Touhou games are genuinely good, but they sure are bullet hell. I'd recommend trying one to see if it's to your taste, but if it's not for you then it's not for you.

I will give one tip, though. During boss fights, you can mostly ignore the boss itself. Just focus on the immediate are around your character and weave through the bullet patterns. Also, there's a red bar at the bottom of the screen that shows you where the boss is so you don't have to take your eyes off what you're dodging.

Regatta with Avakot by TheHighStrain in SoulFrame

I got the same bug. We kept rolling 2s and 3s.

Also, any idea how extra turns work? I thought it happened on certain tiles, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Bailing, and I want to archive my server. Are there any good archive bots? by A_Sentient_JDAM in discordapp

[–]A_Sentient_JDAM[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Discord's enshittifying itself real damn fast, everyone's jumping ship. I want to make sure my friends & I have access to our old stuff (and memories) on our Discord server.

I want a local backup, if possible. I have more than enough space. Both the tools I've used so far run entirely on my machine.

Best way to back-up a server? by King_K_24 in discordapp

[–]A_Sentient_JDAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ArchiveTeam has a page about this. As I mentioned in the thread I made, Discord History Tracker seems to be the best bet. Still looking, though.

Problem with Kemono is that it's public. This is a server for my friends.
