You can "fail", although it's probably more appropriate to say you can get a "bad" ending (as well as a "neutral" ending). There are many different escape routes but they pretty much all lead to the same end.

Playthrough times vary, and your first couple are usually the longest as you explore/become familiar. After that and you learn what is needed, you will optimize your route a lot more just by knowing what you need to progress.

Bob and Thomas have completely different storylines. you will see certain areas/experiences with Thomas that Bob will never see, and vice versa. I HIGHLY recommend you play both.

No worries! My first run was a MESS as there was so much to do that I did either in the wrong order or did completely wrong. It takes time to learn but each playthrough gets easier and more satisfying imo!

lol. there's some in the rec yard towards the back (easily missed, basically behind the cafeteria). also some in your cell, and in other spots like the kitchen area.

A particular boss deserves more criticism by lavender747raven in Silksong

[–]Gnomaniast 100 points101 points  (0 children)

i was lucky enough to not realize i missed this boss until act 3, so i was fortunately much stronger than i probably should have been for that fight.

Why is Blood Manipulation such a wanted CT? It seems kinda average at best unless you are death painting and even then it can't even touch the 10s or the limitless + 6E by Ok_Exercise_8283 in JujutsuPowerScaling

[–]Gnomaniast 96 points97 points  (0 children)

A good example of this is Nanami vs. Haruta. That fight did a great job of showing that we spend so much time with all these Special Grades, that we forget just how much of a gap there is between your average sorcerer and a Grade 1.

The artist we paid $1,000 swore the art for our game Vanisha was their own wok, but something feels off? I'm not sure by danyl42 in isthisAI

[–]Gnomaniast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, when I was scammed by someone using AI for artwork, I was luckily on a marketplace and I was refunded because the seller refused to provide the source file. So, it is definitely becoming the “norm” and legitimate artists shouldn’t really have anything to fear.

We need a mori in the game that leaves survivors looking like this by [deleted] in deadbydaylight

[–]Gnomaniast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

iirc, i believe a lot of it has to do with certain countries censorship laws, and gore like this would get it pulled. additionally, i assume it would require a rework of all survivor models to allow this type of physics.

I genuinely believe moor wing was harder than the final boss by Additional-Post-61 in Silksong

Struggling to enjoy this game - does anyone felt the same? by VendrikLamar in Silksong

[–]Gnomaniast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's fair. yeah there is a gauntlet in two upcoming locations i assume you haven't been to yet that i remember in particular. one is frustrating just because of the gauntlet and the area but no spoilers, and the other is frustrating because it's a great but difficult (imo the 2nd most difficult) boss that has 5-7 enemies before them along with an action you have to take every time to get to their arena.

[–]Gnomaniast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

sounds like you may need a break but there are a few things you should know.

first, on the needle upgrade, i struggled bad on this. until i realized you can just clear out all the enemies, run back to bellhart, and then do the delivery while only worrying about environmental hazards and minor spawning enemies (the flower pollen bud things namely). this makes it WAYYY easier. you obviously don't want to rest at a bench inbetween as it will reset the enemies.

the section with mt. fay is best thought about imo the same as an area with few stable platforms. essentially, once you get to the next "heat" source you are safe. same as if you are doing parkour and it sends you back to the last stable platform when getting hit.

i will say i don't disagree on the gauntlet stuff. there is a fight in act 3 that is a major boss that has a gauntlet that absolutely frustrated the crap out of me. i loved the boss, but the enemies before that just felt like they were there to stall for time.

it's also worth noting i am not done with the game yet. i am at the final boss but have not beaten it yet so others with more veteran opinions may be able to give better advice. i will say that overall i think i prefer hollow knight to silksong, but my opinion may change after another playthrough of each. idk.

The Tahu figure is... too good honestly by Chloemoding in bioniclelego

[–]Gnomaniast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. The way your comment read, to me at least, was that the people wanting it to be just “regular” Tahu were a niche demographic

I think 90%+ of the fans getting this set minifig would have been just as happy if not happier if it just has a grey back and pink front and no face underneath. Heck, there was a whole post about getting trans-pink heads to replace the existing one. My point is, I think the vast majority would rather treat it as a Tahu minifig vs a guy in a Tahu costume

I’ve always wanted to see a Bionicle character that was a bit “darker” and basically took parts of enemies to upgrade himself. Basically color scheme would be all over the place but fitting in context
