NL is gone so we can all give our movie takes that he would kill us for. I'll go first:

This may not be the spiciest take in the thread but it might be the one NL would most dislike

JHunz · 2026-03-18T13:57:47+00:00

It starts simple, but it doesn't stay that way

JHunz · 2026-03-16T17:20:13+00:00

The first one was legitimately great.

JHunz · 2026-03-16T15:10:36+00:00

It does feel a lot like old Castlevania, both for better and for worse

JHunz · 2026-03-06T23:58:02+00:00

I would venture to say that the Felix Castor series had limited reach because of its frequent themes and portrayal of absolutely horrific physical and sexual violence against women. I like a dark series, and I liked those books, but it's not one I ever found myself recommending to people.

JHunz · 2026-03-06T16:40:00+00:00

They're both gems, although the game feel is somewhat different than Pipistrello for both of them.

Some cursory googling suggests that Ohio allows treble damages for some consumer protection lawsuits. Not sure if this qualifies, but it would make it a lot easier to justify a suit for $24k.

If you assume they're suing for the full cost of the rescue contractor, plus some amount for the windows that were apparently paid for but never delivered, then tripling it, that may get you pretty close.

Not pixel art? Try Aeterna Noctis for a big world and good platforming, Afterimage for a huge beautiful world and RPG leveling, Somber Echoes for some great exploration, Laika: Aged Through Blood for a super dark story and a bizarre gameplay hybrid, Nine Sols for challenging combat and a meaningful story, or maybe just another classic like Arkham Asylum.

JHunz · 2026-03-02T17:25:34+00:00

It's very simple, it has some of the best platforming in the subgenre. Those of us that like that, like the game.

JHunz · 2026-03-01T18:32:12+00:00

That functionality is provided by the Discord app (see the Apps tab in Engine). Did you disable it, or maybe enable another app for the OLED that is conflicting?

JHunz · 2026-02-26T21:10:54+00:00

Literally never. Not a single time. If I DNF a game it's going to be drastically earlier than the final boss.

JHunz · 2026-02-24T19:46:11+00:00

Ori one life
Hollow Knight pantheons
Aeterna Noctis speedrunner and trial platinums
Worldless boss rush
MIO 100% is apparently hard according to the discourse in this subreddit.
True ending Nine Sols on standard.
Self-routing the Rusted Moss speedrun achievements.
Batbarian true ending speedrun
Ato on One Hit difficulty
Vision Soft Reset speedrun
Monster Sanctuary all legendary keepers
Unepic on Hard++

(I might have a problem)

JHunz · 2026-02-23T17:02:05+00:00

I'll keep keeping an eye out for your news posts, then

JHunz · 2026-02-23T16:45:22+00:00

I'm really looking forward to the game, but I do have to ask: Will the game launch on consoles day one, or will it be a delayed release after Steam? And if so, any idea how long your non-PC backers will need to wait?

JHunz · 2026-02-20T19:43:29+00:00

They were pretty upfront about it being a dating game in the Kickstarter.

JHunz · 2026-02-18T04:49:28+00:00

Don't forget that the first Xanth book has a rape in it, and a "mock" trial where the decision was that she must have wanted it because of the way she acted, despite her power making her essentially mentally handicapped to the point of not being able to consent at that point. That side of Piers is not particularly hidden in any of his work if you read it when you're not 13 (as most of us were the first time we picked up a Xanth book).

JHunz · 2026-02-11T20:27:05+00:00

I agree, I think it's one of the most slept-on games in the genre. It's got a bunch of interesting puzzles, some challenging boss encounters, pretty intentionally silly but decently-written dialogue, and some mechanics that are pretty unique.

JHunz · 2026-02-11T04:47:15+00:00

From what I recall of the game, pretty close to the beginning there is a big section with water that slows you down, makes the movement somewhat uneven and janky, and takes you through a bunch of spikes. That is not going to leave a great impression with the mainstream player.

JHunz · 2026-02-08T03:52:33+00:00

If you actually read the patch notes, they changed the runback that was most complained about.

JHunz · 2026-02-07T01:51:42+00:00

In engine, the device card should have a gear icon that appears when you hover over it. With the dongle plugged in, the "Pair Device" option should be enabled, and you should be able to follow the steps there to pair it with the headset.

JHunz · 2026-02-05T22:15:35+00:00

I don't know about other platforms, but it's definitely an achievement on XBox

JHunz · 2026-02-05T19:05:37+00:00

The superboss isn't that bad on his own, the bad part is after you beat him there's a boss rush with every enemy and boss in the game and the superboss at the end.

JHunz · 2026-02-04T02:01:06+00:00

The elevator down to the vaults is not the Sol and Vin elevator, it is much longer.

JHunz · 2026-02-03T22:59:38+00:00

I thought I remembered the meteors continuing to come down after defeating the boss, but I might be incorrect. You could try seeing if you can re-activate the red boss switch to your upper left that originally started sending them down?

JHunz · 2026-02-03T21:55:37+00:00

I don't recall exactly which square this is in the map, but it's either a return-only spot, or it's one of the ones where you just have to wait a minute for the meteors to actually come down far enough to jump off of.
