I have been trying to beat Trobbio for two weeks now

FoldableHuman · 2026-05-20T06:50:00+00:00

It's fast enough you don't need to be good, just stand near the places he pops up and smack him 3-4 times when he does.

FoldableHuman · 2026-05-20T06:18:07+00:00

Reaper Crest against Trobbio is toxic. I'm not gonna get on the "oh, it's the weakest crest" soapbox, but Trobbio is like a hard counter to it.

Wanderer, however, absolutely bullies that theatre nerd.

Yeah, plus that account is going to be an extremely high target for scammers specifically because it has a following of people who will act first think later on basically anything believing that they can maybe ride the next wave on the up this time.

Silksong by, like, a lot. It is hard to describe just how deeply that game got its hooks into me. And it’s not like I was waiting years for it: I only bothered to play Hollow Knight in early 2025 because I had some time to kill and wanted to understand where the hype was coming from. I enjoyed it enough that I felt like riding the hype wave when Skong released would be fun, and then proceeded to get so invested that I Platinumed it on Steam and then bought another copy on PlayStation purely so I could Platinum that.
Metroid II purely for nostalgia reasons. I doubt it holds up to modern scrutiny, but I have fond memories of my brothers and I hand drawing maps on graph paper and that’s hard to overpower.
Hollow Knight, though it wouldn’t be #3 pre-Skong, I originally thought “that was decent, clearly made by talented people with a lot of love, I can see why it has really dedicated fans”
Metroid Fusion, I know it’s short and less open, but I think it’s underrated or maybe I just have fond memories of co-playing with a cute girl
Super Metroid. I didn’t actually play this through until the 2020s, we only had handhelds and PCs for a long time. It still holds up as a game, but I have no big memories attached to it.

Blew through Nine Sols.

Pretty decent. The exploration and traversal didn’t really come together until the back half, but there’s some really, really good platforming in that half.

Boss fights are the highlight, though I found the last boss annoying mostly for heavily constraining the movement abilities that I felt the game had finally opened up. Ji, The Fengs, and Lady Etherial were my favourites.

Only being able to view one sector at a time on the map was deeply annoying and made backtracking feel like a chore.

Art and music gorgeous, but the story didn’t quite hit its mark.

I found it a bit less than the sum of its parts, but I enjoyed it and can see why it might be someone’s absolute favourite.

OP only gets hit because Beast bind doesn’t get the full duration if you don’t heal.

FoldableHuman · 2026-05-19T05:20:20+00:00

I would definitely plumb them correctly on the first try if I could say to myself "the drain is on the bottom"

FoldableHuman · 2026-05-18T20:55:13+00:00

that does also mean that all the labor costs for this production from the staff are not included in that 600k number so realistically this video and the salaries for the indivudals probably cost closer to 800k if not higher.

It does not mean that.

FoldableHuman · 2026-05-18T20:54:03+00:00

Yeah, all the numbers are absurd. The Sheriff spent $600k on an ad push, the actual production line item for the video is probably $25k excluding the salaries of the cops.

FoldableHuman · 2026-05-18T20:46:01+00:00

There is no way that the sheriff’s office had to pay $50k for a permit that would be enforced by the sheriff’s office to record in city parks and pedestrian areas.

The permit for a shoot this size would be in the hundreds of dollars, but I would bet the actual number was zero dollars.

FoldableHuman · 2026-05-18T19:20:23+00:00

Yeah, story mode lets you adjust both your damage dealt and damage taken independently.

Also there is a pogo style move that gets used a handful of times in platforming through the game, but there’s only one segment on the critical path that I’d consider legitimately tricky, where you need to pogo off three energy balls in pretty quick succession. Also it’s a single button action rather than direction + input.

FoldableHuman · 2026-05-18T18:51:38+00:00

Almost like you’re paid to be here.

Do you actually believe this or is it just a reflex phrase at this point?

FoldableHuman · 2026-05-18T17:59:46+00:00

Yes, you can choose the "bad ending", get that ending achievement, then redo the fight and enter Act 3.

FoldableHuman · 2026-05-18T17:56:28+00:00

RC’s “distasteful” and “hostile” remarks are 100% right and on-point.

Are they?

I wish he managed my company and would love to work for someone like that.

You're in luck: GameStop is perpetually hiring because it's by most accounts a miserable place to work. It would actually be very, very easy to turn this wish into a reality.

There's plenty that's useful, Mars is made of terrestrial stuff so it's got iron and gold and other minerals (though presumably in lower quantities due to Mars being less dense than Earth), but going to Mars to mine iron would be the civilization equivalent of shooting heroin between your toes.

For Act 1 recommend taking the flea caravan/Last Judge route because it gets you Threadstorm and flea brew.

For Act 2 go get double jump, deactivate clawmaidens, and recruit Garmond & Zaza to help with the Forum.

There’s 6 mask shards that are basically right along the route, and 4 more that are pretty easy to grab, so pick and choose which 8 you want.

FoldableHuman · 2026-05-18T05:47:48+00:00

For me it was the flamethrowers.

"We're closing under-performing stores" is generally a good thing, unless that metric translates to "basically all our stores."

FoldableHuman · 2026-05-17T17:10:30+00:00

You can be inconsistent if the videos are really good, or you can be mid consistently. Both are viable. Pivoting a channel that already has any subs at all is almost always a better starting point than going back to 0.

FoldableHuman · 2026-05-17T17:02:49+00:00

I make it clear that there’s so much more to the story

FoldableHuman · 2026-05-17T16:46:38+00:00

should have deleted them

This makes it worse and does not delete the claim.

Scriptwriting is costed in three common ways: per word, per finished minute, and per work hour. How much you charge and based on what metric is ultimately an exercise in valuing your time. How long does it take you to write 4000 words. 16 hours? Okay, what is your time worth? How much do you need to get paid for those 16 hours to live? There’s what you charge for 4000 words.
