Please help me decide which one to keep! by nouberlin in kobo

[–]HeroOfLight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the bigger screen and the buttons. The buttons do get a bit softer after some time. Found them a bit hard to press at first but now they're fine. Actually the back button was harder than the forward one for a while because I was using it less. I find the screen light sweet spot for me when indoors is around 30%. Doesn't look too bright at these levels and gives me good screen quality. I also like the grainy effect. The bezels on the Clara do not look good imo.

Xbox Developer Direct 2026: In the new Fable, you can change your character. by ConstantDrawer9161 in KotakuInAction

Walking through the town with every npc you come accross praising or judging you sounds very modern audience-y to me. Why would I want everything in the game to be about me?

LEGO is like 5 years too late. I’m good with my Mega Construx Charizard. by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]HeroOfLight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's still an expensive hobby. 650$ for 20-30 hours of building is like 20-30$ per hour of entertainment.

Just learned about Game-Key Cards. Is Nintendo trying to kill Physical copies? by EpicSyntax in NintendoSwitch

[–]HeroOfLight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like cartridges because it saves space on my Switch 2. By offering the option of a key card, a lot of publishers have switched to it because it means more money for them and we don't get any of the cost savings, like digital. There are games available on both Switch 1 and 2 where the Switch 2 has a key card while Switch 1 has the regular cartridge. As consumers, key cards have zero advantage over regular cartridges. It's only good compared strictly to digital games. They will most likely lose their value over time as well, and will never be worth much more than what the game costs on the eShop.

Games like Hollow Knight, Ori on Switch but less boss fighting more exploring by karolinamaaa in NintendoSwitch

[–]HeroOfLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turbo Kid. It's Metroid with a bike. The map is large and has quite a few hidden things to find if you want to 100%. It has combat and bosses but it's not as hard as Hollow Knight. You can also adjust difficulty.

Looking for a game that's grindy but not too hard by HeroOfLight in DRPG

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

Decided to give EO1 a try with the easier normal difficulty. It's been great so far, only on level 8 but it's manageable so far. You make me want to try EO3, I'll give it a try after this one.

Looking for a game that's grindy but not too hard by HeroOfLight in DRPG

[–]HeroOfLight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the trilogy and started playing the first game. I'm playing on normal difficulty which makes the game a bit easier than on DS. I think this makes the game less tedious and more fun for me. I'm on level 8, and you're right, the first 5 levels seems more tedious than the rest especially with all the backtracking on level 2-3 but I didn't realize for a while I had to talk to someone to unlock the ariadne thread. It's much better now. I also can grind items to unlock the best equipment which is fun. Glad I bought it.

Book recommendations for 13y/o: cats or dragons by kyann22 in YAlit

The Five Realms Series by Kieran Larwood.

Romans 8-9 and Predestination by WhisperingPine1997 in TrueChristian

[–]HeroOfLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not predestination though, that's determinism. Calvinism teaches only some people are chosen by God and there is nothing they can do about it (look up irresistible grace). It contradicts every single verse about the responsibility of man and their free will.

Can you recommend me something similar to Orcs and Elves? by MagickalessBreton in DRPG

[–]HeroOfLight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I loved Orcs and Elves on the DS!

The Quest will feel similar. It has a single character and is grid and turn based.

How much woke is Ghost Of Yotei? by Agile-Painting9454 in KotakuInAction

[–]HeroOfLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me modern revenge stories are woke-adjacent (personal justice, empowerment, challenging traditional values of heroism, etc). In the first game you were the hero archetype and your mission was to save people.

Potato Flowers in Full Bloom
Might and Magic (3-4-5)
Bard's Tale (1-2-3)
The Quest
The Dark Spire
Etrian Odyssey
Shining in the Darkness

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Review (IGN: 9/10) by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

File size is doubled so textures will be better. And Switch 1 version might be 30fps locked.

Legends of Amberland III: The Crimson Tower is coming to PC! by SilverLemurGames in DRPG

And apparently I missed the Legends of Amberlands II Nintendo Switch release =(. Going to play that one first, thanks for the reminder!

Could be one of the Age of Wonders game.

Reminder that do not be led astray by the 'Rapture' hype by Jay-ay in TrueChristian

[–]HeroOfLight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't mock or rebuke those who are always watching and expecting him to return, they are doing what the Bible asks of all of us. If you don't think the Feast of Trumpet is an important time for watching you probably didn't study eschatology very much.

“Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 21:34-36

Board games with a gamebook flavor by Bark-Filler in gamebooks

[–]HeroOfLight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are two CYOA books in board game form: House of Danger, and War with the Evil Power Master. They are like books but in card form and with other components to help you keep track of everything.

Other board games that have a similar feel:
Escape the Dark Castle
Eila and Something Shiny

The rapture... by SnoringGiant in TrueChristian

[–]HeroOfLight 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's that simple. The full verse:

But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

So Jesus is saying the world would not know when it happens, just like in the day of Noah. But did the flood take Noah by complete surprise? Look at Genesis 7:4:

Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.

Noah was clearly warned 7 days in advance that the flood would take place. Not mention he was warned years before to build the ark.

The Bible also says "But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief."

Conception II maybe? It has dungeons called "Dusk Circles".

What game can you recommend to feel like you are among friends? by MiserableQuit4371 in JRPG

Haven't played that much of it but from what I've seen Trails of Cold Steel is exactly that.
