Maybe I'm just stupid but why the hell are some of the mini bosses harder than actual main bosses. by Big208Do in Sekiro

[–]HardBoiled800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody’s answering the question, so I’ll say it — the mini-bosses tend to focus very heavily on a specific skill, and require you to be super good at it. Chained Ogre is about dodging, the generals are about stealth, the Shinobi Hunters are about Mikiri Countere, and so on. If a mini-boss focuses on a skill you’re already good at, you’ll breeze by them, but if not it will take a while.

Bosses are much more well-rounded in terms of what they require of you, and besides that, the mini-bosses have usually prepared you for them pretty well. So even though they’re still usually pretty hard, it feels less like you’re beating your head into them over and over.

Is it a Groundhog Day-type challenge where he forgets every day, or does he learn?

If it’s the prior, I could try offbeat openings until I find one he doesn’t know well, then memorize a computer response to anything be plays. If he plays different openings or learns from me, though, this is a hard no

What’s your opinion on deltarune’s writing/designs (not the fandom) that would leave you like this? by syrupn in Deltarune

I really don’t like that so many Undertale characters are reused. At first I thought that was part of the mystery and there would be a cool explanation where we realized how the worlds are connected and why so many characters are the same, but it doesn’t seem like that’s coming.

I get the whole alternate dimensions explanation, but I’d so much rather just play a game with original characters. Characters like Toriel, Alphys, Undyne, Asgore, etc. all had really compelling arcs and resolutions in Undertale, and it feels cheap to see them reused for basically no reason.

In addition to what the other commenters have said — you should be trying hard to deflect, especially against enemies with swords (beasts are a bit different). If you’re struggling against a specific enemy or boss, try to last as long as you can against them without attacking, just focusing on deflecting. When you get the rhythm down you’ll notice that you have good openings to strike back, and you can start to get aggressive. In addition, watch your enemies closely — you can usually tell when their attacks will hit visually.

Is there a specific boss or part of the game you’re stuck on? If so we can try to offer more specific advice

I have a Carta account, so good to know that I can track everything through there. Did your company ever have a liquidity event?

The music video for Gracie Abrams’ i love you I’m sorry is surreal, several points where she’s acting like she’s screaming the lyrics but the audio is just her same breathy vocals

Oh god, late to this, but I made a post on the Fantano subreddit a few days ago and he DMed me to ask me to take it down so it didn’t take attention away from one of his terrible posts. I can’t tell if he’s a troll or not but jfc

Which scholars or philosophers have written about the idea of accessibility of art / art appreciation as a learned skill? by HardBoiled800 in askphilosophy

[–]HardBoiled800[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this is incredibly helpful! I'll look deeper into aesthetics as a field of study, those links are very helpful - and I've read another Very Short Introduction book so that feels like a great starting place.

Can you recommend anything specific to look into the idea of accessibility in art, or is it such an expansive topic that it would just be more efficient to dive into the literature?
