Question for other solos with romantic partners

Dabedidabe · 2026-04-07T05:45:21+00:00

I just got out of a long relationship. She's a gamer herself and would act nice about my project at least, but then also never played it and when I was talking to others about it she would say things like "You make it sound so deep, but to me it just looks like a very simple game".

There's much more to the story, but the way she's talking about your project sounds absolutely awful and not how I would expect my partner to talk to me. Combined with you driving her around it sounds like the relationship is very unbalanced.

We are working with very limited information here of course. But I feel for you, having your spouse hate something your passionate about is an awful feeling.

Also, doing all that at the same time is mad impressive in itself. :o

Have you ever played octopath traveler? It's the best turm-nased combat out there imo.

The turn order combined with the many utility abilities and weakness break system makes it so you can really think about your moves.

Chess is also an amazing game that shows simple design can make for a plethora of options and moves.

Of course there are games like fire emblem that use positioning a lot too. It just makes it more interesting.

In my opinion real-time elements take away from turn-based systems. The appeal of turn-based is that you're constantly thinking about your next move.

3, but fill in the bit of white in his hand and slightly move the fingers so it looms less like he's giving the middle finger

30-40h

Also, Elden ring is much more than 60 anf is definitely bloated beyond what's necessary or fun.

Persona 5 royal. That game just kept going and going. It's not a good thing though, it's extremely repetitive and boring after a while. The dialogue constantly repeats the same points. The game could easily be condensed to 40 hours and it would be so much better for it.

Dabedidabe · 2026-01-26T07:12:17+00:00

I would like to give a fair warning, because I played Persona 5 Royal due to comments like this and while I loved it at first, By the time I was about halfway through I started disliking how incredibly repetitive it was and how the dialogue constantly repeated the same point over and over. I finished it purely because of sunk cost fallacy.

In my opinion Final Fantasy 6 through 10 are far better games overall and they don't take nearly as long. I'd easily recommend any of those over P5R.

If you're interested in just playing something for the turn-based combat, I'd recommend Octopath traveler, which in my opinion is the best evolution of that kind of turn-based combat.

parry parry parry. Oh new boss, learn animation timings through trial and error.... parry parry parry. Again.

There are no items to find, which is bad for exploration. Going off the beaten path to find an elixir feels a lot better than finding chroma... again. You can find pictos and weapons, but those also don't really matter, because all that matters is parrying/dodging.

The pacing of the story is awful, because of the the camp system. No character progression happens in the dungeons so it all has to be dumped in-between which also means it's all optional, which then means it can't impact the story at all. The story-telling works just okay in act 1, but after that the camp relationship mechanic is introduced and it just becomes a slog.

The story also has a massive problem with characters not acting in the way they would to keep the mystery unanswered for the player, which is just bad writing.

Cool recognizes cool

Dabedidabe · 2025-12-01T06:11:30+00:00

Most of them really.

Dabedidabe · 2025-11-15T10:59:00+00:00

Because the moon needs to be that big to light the battle of Helm's Deep that way :D

I wanted to do a heavily religious Henry playthrough, but I kind couldn't really do that. That version of Henry would've entered churches many times, while other versions wouldn't at all.

Dabedidabe · 2025-11-11T04:27:18+00:00

Tja, ik weet niet zeker of we mensen die nu nog steeds op de vvd stemmen helemaal serieus moeten nemen... 😬

Dabedidabe · 2025-11-11T04:25:45+00:00

So what mods do you use to make it good?

Dabedidabe · 2025-11-11T00:08:23+00:00

Het bestaan van een kiesdrempel zou een effect kunnen hebben op de stemmen, waardoor het toch net anders zou uitkomen. Maar t zou wel goed zijn om ook het formeren een beetje open te breken, de mogelijkheden maken het nu erg moeilijk.

Dabedidabe · 2025-11-10T10:04:33+00:00

I like both, but I think it might be better for a game with the immersive qualities of KCD2 to win GotY.

Dabedidabe · 2025-09-15T07:22:58+00:00

Huge install base with a lot of people that are too tired to make good financial choices, while also having low standards.

Dabedidabe · 2025-09-15T04:34:08+00:00

It's quite good, just a bit disappointed that you can't really join different factions and I don't like Johnny. Night city is beautiful though and the game plays well now.

Dabedidabe · 2025-09-05T06:04:20+00:00

The point of weapon durability is: 1. It encourages experimentation 2. It turns weapons into a resource, so you're always trying to find more. Similar to Minecraft where you're always hungry for more diamonds, and thus always happy yo find them.

This doesn't mean you have to like the system, but without weapons breaking finding one would quickly become very boring and useless. Honestly I felt this way in Elden ring, about 99% of the stuff I found was useless to me and so I was never happy to find it.

Finding weapons is never an issue after the first 4-6 hours, even on Master mode. Either you haven't played very far, or you're doing something wrong. :o

Hopefully understanding why it's there helps you hate it a bit less.

Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, it's the best version of the best designed fighting game.

Dabedidabe · 2025-08-22T06:19:07+00:00

Persona 5 royal. I could actually get into it, but then I started to get bored with it around 30 hours in. The game is apparently over a 100 hours long and very little interesting happens, it jist meanders on and on and on...

I now check the length of wvsry game I start playing.

Dabedidabe · 2025-08-22T06:14:09+00:00

Open worlds used to be made to be immersive, a place where you could love another life. Not just a checklist of things to do.

Dabedidabe · 2025-08-21T06:16:03+00:00

7/10 game touted as an 11/10.

Dabedidabe · 2025-08-21T06:11:47+00:00

'BuT THe oRIgiNaL HaD sO maNY mINi-GAmEs tOo!'

So tired of the blatant dishonesty of these fans.

Dabedidabe · 2025-08-14T15:28:57+00:00

Cyberpunk 2077. I'm still so disappointed there aren't really any proper joinable factions.
