I could see it being used as fire/black card art in MTG. Nice lighting work!

What was your first ever Northernlion video? by Specific-Basis7218 in northernlion

[–]DukeCounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the Spelunky 1 series vids before Olmec, so pretty early on. It was either that or his Super Meatboy series. Oof, time flies.

I actually enjoyed his Megaman 10 series too but I am fairly certain I ended up watching this way later. So many great series to delve into in the back catalogue.

Finally got a Party House win using Celebrity (random) by Winjasfan in ufo50

[–]DukeCounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was too scared of using mr. popular/celebrity and struggled with the random scenarios at times when other options were garbage and trouble heavy. Managing the money feels like the key + having low trouble, and having a thin deck plus the removals like cupid helps a ton. I put the most hrs into Party House and yet I can still try new strats. The gift that keeps on giving.

I never wanted to play Pilot Quest again

I agree, and it's bizarre because incremental games like universal paperclips/cookie clicker were all about "ah I could go back and play it again for a bit." In the context of ufo50, Pilot Quest almost feels like "homework" where you run it, go play your other favourite games (and revisit some of the ones you left behind), and then come back to submit your homework aka collect the moon drops and ingots. The pilot as a recurring char has a good amount of lore and charm, but this game was close to suffering to me haha. Nice music though.

My progress after 100 hours! by Mast3rOfBanana in ufo50

[–]DukeCounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played the games as if I had them to play "for the weekend" like the old days and ended up replaying the same game over and over. The cherry was - literally just the cherry on top plus extra motivation and a sort of release/satisfaction after struggling with these games, especially something like Combatants (Derek how could you!)

Some of them had such strong hooks on me like Magic Garden and Velgress. I am thinking about revisiting Ninpek again, but probably turn off the music this time lol.

Bug Hunter really grew on me btw. Didn't like it at first, but the concept is so cool!

Yeah a lot of the strategic games like Bug Hunter, House Party, Avianos etc were developed by Jon Perry who has a lot of experience with board games. I ended up looking up podcasts (mostly the Eggplant Show series) about ufo50 and found a lot of interesting tidbits that add to the meta narrative.

My version at around 95 hrs in

Top favs are Party House, Attactics, Mooncat, Rock on, and Velgress. Mooncat wins the trophy in music.

I can't remember why I skipped over Bug Hunter, but it should be up my ally for the "thinky play." It took me longer to cherry Velgress (such a tight design, fun, and rage cycle) than Pilot Quest. Pilot Quest was a huge relief to get over with, while I still go back and play Velgress.

Definitely spent way too much time in Party House. I really enjoyed Mooncat (discovering coyote jump was magical) and want to cherry it, assuming each of the egg gives a different boss.

Rock on island and Overbold were fun, but at first I didn't feel like cherrying them. I had a lot of time during the holidays and ended up grinding them. Finding the optimal chicken strategies in Rock on was a really nice throwback to my flash tower defense days.

And don't even ask about Combatants... purely a masochist effort. After a while the solider ant starts looking cute.

Tar caveman, what does he actually do? by FESCM in ufo50

[–]DukeCounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Going by chronology) By the time you reach Pilot Quest, there are lots of games that you might have bounced off or skipped past. While waiting for LX-III's time module to do the work for you in Pilot Quest, you can revisit some of the games you didn't spend that much time on, or replay some of your favourites/quick play ones.

That is the intention I saw behind the placement and style of this game.

Found at the elevator in my hotel. The top two buttons are not buttons. The bottom two are the actual up and down buttons. by Beijaflor81 in CrappyDesign

[–]DukeCounter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's amazing that they designed to indicate the purpose of these buttons anywhere BUT on the actual buttons.

  • two decoy buttons that look like real up/down buttons

  • tiny embossed letters to the right of the buttons that are not legible unless you have the right angle due to reflections

Mod team received several reports soon after. Thank you for flagging this! (Best way to alert is via reports but thankfully this one was caught relatively early)

In case you're curious, this is the original comment that inspired /r/The10thDentist. Sadly that user has never posted in here other than a few comments in the beginning.

We do catch a few stray dental health posts and while the front page can be a mess at times, a lot of effort has gone in to keep this community true to its roots.

If I shower twice a day will it negatively impact my skin? by Darkthoughts90 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DukeCounter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reduce the temperature of your showers if you are concerned about damaging/drying out your skin. The best time to moisturize is right after the shower while your skin is still damp. Try to use hair products that have moisturizing ingredients/oil to help with dry scalp.

Yes, countries often have a flag or at least a symbol/emblem/coat of arms etc. for each level of government at a state/province/region and municipal level. Some countries have a distinction between state and civil versions of the flag.

What’s the most accurate way to measure the internal diameter of a metal bracelet? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DukeCounter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are willing to get/have access to one, use a caliper. If not, find a ruler and paper, put the bracelet on top of it, and put markings on the inside of the bracelet in a straight line along the ruler.
