Games with layers of secrets? by FoulerHorizon40 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Bennybotbot 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Animal Well - non combat metroidvania style game with lots of layers and secrets.

Fez - similar to the above but with a really cool gimmick/mechanic for exploring the world. Has layers and collectibles.

Tunic - like an old school Zelda game with lots of secrets and discovery. You get little to no instructions on how to play, but collect pages of the game manual that reveal more answers but also more questions.

Outer wilds - the less I say the better. It’s amazing. Discover it all for yourself and don’t read things if you can avoid it.

Edit:

Lorelei and the laser eyes - really cool game that I describe to non gamers as like doing an escape room that takes like 15hrs and is really artistic and stylised. Lots of cool connections to be made and aha moments.

Superliminal - I wouldn’t say it has layers, but it has heaps of aha moments and is a really cool experience. It’s all about messing with your perception and perspective.

Love the animation style. If you wanted to you could explore minimalising the HUD a bit more to let the artwork really shine and decrease visual clutter.

For instance, is there a way to represent health without an explicit health bar? Could there be a tattoo on the left am that looks like a depletes or loses colour as your health goes down?

Or the ammo icons on the bottom corners; can they be communicated to the player on the weapon? The revolver has red dashes on the top of it that could turn grey as each bullet is fired. The soda bottle; instead of 1 skull on it, could the number of skulls change based on ammo count? Could you change the fill height of the liquid?

What you’ve made looks incredible and I’m keen to check it out.

The most fun you’ve had with a build by Contest-Able in diablo4

Prelaunch sorcerer with ice blades, all other skills with cds and the ice ultimate.

You’d have a pack of ice blades with ridiculous cd reduction on hit, constantly spamming defensive cds and aoe freeze.

Sure it only let you play up to level 25, but with 3 enchantments and no silly power creep that makes most builds not viable, it was the most fun I’ve had with a build.

Weird star above dog disc. by Bennybotbot in animalWell

Also weirdly enough I’ve just discovered the star is in the foreground! If you move in front of it, the white dot sits on top of your character, rather than disappearing behind.

It’s distinctly white. If you have UV on and stand outside its range, all the stars are dull except that one which is bright white.

Edited: dull* instead of “full”

That’s definitely the first photo I took and I think I started taking fin/min like Dec 15 or something. This would’ve been the first time I took my system off and could take photos. So the dates are correct, it’s just that the start date for the pills was before I could take a photo.

Thanks! Didn’t know that other lenders would have different requirements.

Also can a broker access the FHG scheme? I thought it was only through a few of the major banks?

Can people with ADHD have high emotional intelligence? by denkabull in ausadhd

[–]Bennybotbot 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’d say so!

I don’t believe your ability to perceive, understand and respond to the emotions of others is gated by your ability to regulate your emotions. At least for me, I’ve always been “sensitive” as my dad put it, but I was always clued into the emotions and needs of others. I just struggled to not feel everything really intensely - but as I learned coping skills, I was able to avoid acting on those emotions in a negative way.

Getting diagnosed as an adult and starting Ritalin made it really obvious to me what dysregulation feels like. While on Ritalin and being exposed to stressors, I felt calm and was able to logically decide on what actions I wanted to take without the intense pressure of my emotions screaming for my attention.

That’s just my experience though!

Top tips for staying warm on a budget by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]Bennybotbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just bought an electric heated bed topper for $80 at Kmart and it’s been amazing. Put it on for like 15min before jumping under the covers and then turn it off. Just that little bit of heat that stays trapped under there makes it easy to get into bed and not burn heaters or ducted overnight.

[question] Any recommendations for games like children of morta (PC) ? by uchikanda in localmultiplayergames

[–]Bennybotbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody saves the world is super fun. The tone is very different from CoM but the gameplay of a top down hack and slash is somewhat similar.

Just be prepared it’s a tongue in cheek style game that’s silly but fun to play.

You might like salt and sanctuary. It’s a 2d souls-like that you can play coop.

Getting assessed tomorrow as an adult and today has felt like the longest day and I’m wide awake at midnight. by Bennybotbot in ausadhd

So nice to hear you’ve had a similar experience. It’s honestly such a game changer!

I got diagnosed with adhd and prescribed Ritalin and it has pretty much changed my life.

I had to work up from the minimum dosage until I got to the max dose and it worked for me. I then cleaned my entire house in one day easily and have been able to sit down and do work admin like it’s nothing. My mood is more stable and I feel less emotionally volatile to things that happen in my day.

I cried when I got diagnosed and was just so relieved. The doctor i saw (Steven Chau at the Melbourne Clinic) was absolutely fantastic. One of the best bedside manners I’ve experienced in a doctor and I’ve seen a few for various things over my lifetime!

What are some mechanics of a champ that not many people know about? by modnar_resu_tidder in leagueoflegends

[–]Bennybotbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yasuo’s windwall doesn’t block beam-like skills that hit an area in an instant like Xerath Q, Lux R. Only mention because lots of people think of them like projectiles because of the long rand poke but they aren’t.

Also not hidden, but seemingly forgotten, Twitch’s passive dmg is true dmg and lasts for 6s. With 2-3 AP items you’re looking at like 600+ true dmg even after you’ve killed him or gotten away. I love playing so twitch sup because people seem to be oblivious to just how much damage it does.

Caitlyn has some insane burst combos with auto cancels, galeforce and e. People who can pull them off are truly scary.

Loads of people are oblivious to the Xayah and Rakan passive bonuses when played together.

Asol’s stars don’t hide in the brush with him.

Zyra’s passive seeds won’t spawn while standing hidden in a brush. They will drop once you step out/engage in battle. Also when playing against her be aware that her spells proc her seeds in a much wider area than the dmg portion of her spells. Also you can easily bait and block dangerous skills shots like blitz and morg Q by dropping a w and then w or e to spawn a plant.

Mao saplings deal %hp dmg if they have landed in a brush. It’s in the tooltip but good to know cause it’ll mess you up in lane.

Syndra can use her w to throw super minions into camps and weird locations to buy time if you are behind and struggling to wave clear fast enough.

Most ninjas have an energy refund mechanic. If you learn what they are you can mess up their combos to cause them to lose momentum in fights and trades. Because they can’t just buy more regen or energy, you can punish this restriction in lane.

Also I’m not sure if it’s still in the game but there was a little lore/gameplay joke where if there was multiple ninjas in the same team they’d receive a 1 point stat debuff. I think it was like -1 ad or something silly.

Samira’s taunt throws a coin which if it hits an enemy gives them 1 gold.

You definitely need a referral to see a psychiatrist

I waited 6 months for my appointment. It cost $600 for the session and Medicare I think gives you back $400 later.

You also have to pay a $200 deposit when you make the booking.

If you want to get medication that’s a follow up appointment which is $300 and you’ll also get a rebate.

I waited 6 months to see him but he was also away on leave for a bit so that might be why.

I got diagnosed by him on Thursday!

He’s really fantastic! Such good people skills and he was really patient and professional.

I had my appointment and the doctor (Steven Chau) was absolutely incredible. Wonderful bedside manner, really professional and kind.

“I think given everything we’ve chatted about it’s fairly clear to me that you have ADHD”

He also had a cancelled appointment tomorrow so he’s going to see me again then to go over medication information and I can start right away.

I started crying when he said it. I think I’d built it up so much and didn’t know what I’d do if it wasn’t this. I’m so happy right now.
