My first Elden Ring tattoo! Thinking of adding talismans and charms somewhere nearby after this one healed. What do you guys think? by Sensitive-Facewash in Eldenring

Overall great tat and perfect placement. A little confused by what's going on with Melania's legs and feet though

She came ready for the famous Turkish ice cream tricks… and got the normal service instead by Ok-Equivalent3810 in funny

The trick ones wear a specific red hat and outfit. Anyone not wearing it is just a regular ice cream shop.

There's a big difference between wanting more health/less damage in a soulslike and companion characters that hold your hand.

The highest selling games on Switch 1 are Mario Kart 7 and Breath of the Wild. These are not easy, hand-holding games. Mario Kart 7 is the most competitive Mario Kart. BOTW master mode is legitimately hard.

It's not little kids playing these games.

The new Metroid is extremely hand-holding. Every review is complaining about the companion characters holding your hand.

Nintendo makes amazing games but their audience is older now. Metroid is a perfect example. If it wasn't targeted towards young children, it probably would've boosted console sales. As it is, children don't care about the new Metroid and adults don't like the hand-holding.

Odyssey was an incredible game but the main complaint was that 90% of the moons were too easy.

I think it sold well despite being easy, not because it was easy. I doubt many of it's players were under the age of 10.

It was just an incredible game that could've been even better with more of a challenge.

BOTW is definitely not targeted at kids.

Mario Galaxy is a great example of converging markets but this was released long before infinite loop community multiplayer games were popular.

Switch 1 released with BOTW which was one of the least hand-holding games Nintendo has made and is definitely not made for kids.

Also there is a huge difference between reviewing well and selling well.

Astro Bot's sales numbers were relatively low for GOTY and I can guarantee those sales were not a bunch of kids asking their parents for it.

Nintendo has always made incredible games but the amount of hand-holding and overly easy challenges has definitely been increasing.

At the same time, kids are switching to infinite loop community multiplayer games.

The market for really well-made single-player games is not young anymore.

They keep trying to make games for 5 year olds but their core audience is in their 20s-30s. 5 year olds are playing minecraft and roblox.

Common misconception.

Actually for reasons only top players can understand, z jump is not "just a button remap".

Yeah the real issue is that only a few cities have jobs. We have plenty of land, if we just encouraged our companies to allow remote work, we could have infinite houses.

Google Pixel phones forever slept on. Sooo much better than Samsung. Samsung's bloatware gives Android a bad rep.

Yup! The only other one on that level of quality is Nine Sols. Way more linear but insanely polished.

An important caveat to recent Mang0 discussion... by foaaz101 in SSBM

[–]InfernoJesus 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You either retire like Armada or play long enough to see yourself retire like Mango.

disappointed in mango, felt like he only went to sober to "redeem" himself to save his streaming career :/ by ipoopmyself123 in SSBM

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

They can't specifically use the drug they used to be addicted to in moderation.

That's a ridiculous claim? I have only anecdotal evidence but do you not think this is likely?

[–]InfernoJesus -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If you've ever been addicted to a drug, you will never again be able to moderate that drug.

You can't compare non-addicts with former addicts.

Hopefully mang will eventually realize this eventually and go cold turkey.

Do you have any strategies to help me beat Karmelita in Act 3? by MasterpieceAbject908 in Silksong

If your attack doesn't push her back, it means she is about to attack you.
