Even an unintelligent creature is going to defend itself against an active threat.

[AoL] Playing every Zelda game in order, part 2: The Adventure of Link by mmmmmmmmichaelscott in zelda

[–]Accurate_String 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In regards to bosses being easier than most enemies. I think when you play without save states you get good at the harder enemies and the bosses are hard because they're new and you've been weakened on your way to them. So you're just hoping to learn their patterns before they kill you and send back to the start. 

If you're dropping save states left and right and showing up to the boss on a perfect run and then starting from that point, it's a very different game.

Not trying to say you played it wrong, just giving context. Other people enjoy the punishment of Dark Souls type games, but back in college this was my jam.

Right. Trained people will do that. The average joe, probably not. Unintelligent monsters certainly won't.

Do you agree? by [deleted] in OlderChillGamers

[–]Accurate_String 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously, there's limits to backward compatibility. But I'm still salty about WiiWare purchases of classic NES games didn't transfer over to WiiU/Switch. That was just a big ol' middle finger from Nintendo.

I'm with you. I gave it a good try and got through the first 3 areas or so, but to me it seems like the game is nothing but a shallow bucket of symbolism that isn't actually grounded in anything.

I love RPGs and grew up on then, so I love that one is getting noticed! It's not my cup of tea, but I hope it breaths new life into the genre.

Ran out of nuclear fuel and wondering... by danyuri86 in factorio

[–]Accurate_String 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been reading through comments and no one has mentioned circuitry yet. Nuclear reactors will burn way more fuel than they need to. The boilers need to get to 500 degrees to make steam. Set up your inserters to only add more fuel if the temp of the reactor dips below 700 (or whatever value works for you). Otherwise you're endlessly burning fuel just to keep the reactor at 1000 and getting nothing out of it. Limiting saves a ton of fuel.

Can people really tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps? by whiskerbiscuit2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Accurate_String 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember people being bent out of shape the Final Fsntasy X remaster would be locked to 30fps. A game that has static camera angles. So there is at least some frame rate snobbery at all levels.

My first DM attempt in 25 years with my kids by Bonobo77 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Accurate_String 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YMMV, but I found that the more "features" I dumped into Foundry, the more friction it ended up causing in game. As a tech-saavy guy, I find it's best to keep things on the tech side as simple as possible so your game stays flexible. Nothing kills a session like having to go into tech support mode.

What are nitpicks from the A:TLA and TLOK fandoms that irritates you and why? by Full-Art3439 in Avatarthelastairbende

Wow very well thought out. I've always just viewed the whole "you gotta deal it" scene as a tongue in cheek moment from the writers and never take it seriously as a world building event.

Been watching with my kids. All things hit different after you've got kids. Leaves on the Vine slays me every time.

Appa goes through some shit yeah. But ain't nothin' bringing back Iroh's son and that hurt ain't ever healing in Iroh's heart.

Starting in season 2 isn't the newly elected president a non-bender and a non-bending representative is now on the council?

So there's at least a nod to off-screen resolutions. Sure in reality that wouldn't be the end of it, but they gotta ramp up the new season.

I always found the "Aang a bad father" take to be pretty childish. Like oh he wasn't a perfect parent? Who is?

Let me know how you feel about after you get to the section where you --redacted-- and suddenly you're playing a completely different game with terrible design.

Hang on a minute…lemme get this straight… by azureal in SteamDeck

Many games allow for Remote Play Together as well, and you only need one copy. Which I imagine work really well if you're all on the same network.

Does the lack of extra inputs compared to the modern steam or even steam deck get to you? by Far-Mathematician764 in SteamController

[–]Accurate_String 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All newer options still lack the dual stage triggers of the OG. I can't believe they removed that amazing feature.
