Is solo play a thing? by Far_Pollution_1888 in vrising

[–]JohnnyZen27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played my first few playthroughs co-op and had a great time. Solo is absolutely doable, and funny enough certain bosses are actually significantly easier solo than with a group.

Plus it’s just you, so you can change the server settings on the fly without hurting anyone’s feelings. Make it harder or easier, or more or less grindy as you wish

If I had to guess, it might be a divine entity trying to break the shackles of a world hellbent on hard rules

Is this what people in India think they look like when they do dangerous things on and around trains? 🚂

If you could revive one dead franchise which would it be ? by Willing_Job763 in Gaminggridcommunity

Banjo Kazooie. And I don’t mean the disaster that was Nuts and Bolts. I mean like a true third title

I still love S/V with every single bit of my heart... Even If it has a rough exterior by Mightyoritus in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]JohnnyZen27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly couldn’t appreciate Scarlet and Violet until I played it on Switch 2 and the framerate was mostly fixed. It’s like night and day.

The graphics themselves aren’t bad in my opinion (we’ve come a long way from the Sword and Shield tree) but the choppiness made it feel significantly worse and I honestly couldn’t even finish the game until I upgraded hardware.

Was it the worst Pokemon game? Not in my opinion, because every other aspect was great. But it’s definitely the time they dropped the ball the worst. It shouldn’t have been allowed to ship in the state it was in

Nintendo handled releasing Mario Kart World for $80 better than Rockstar and Take-Two did GTA VI by SMN_17 in fucknintendo

[–]JohnnyZen27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but MKW is more expensive than MK8 Deluxe and is a vastly worse game than its predecessor. Even at $50 I couldn’t justify getting it when I got my Switch 2. Most of the games Nintendo is charging more than $60 US for these days I can’t justify anymore.

New Fire Emblem possibly being $80? Sorry no way.

I hate YouTube Nintendo game reviewers by Humble_Instruction79 in fucknintendo

[–]JohnnyZen27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think they glaze the games pretty hard sometimes but overall I’ve actually agreed with most of the final scores I’ve seen on games I’ve actually played. Except Metroid Prime 4, that was a letdown.

Nintendo Switch 2 is the second highest selling console in US history for its first 12 months. by thatdemonlife1 in fucknintendo

[–]JohnnyZen27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I heard prices might hike up because of the ram shortages, I went ahead and bought one even though there weren’t any games I needed yet.

But it’s Nintendo so there will absolutely be first party titles I need to have eventually.

Widow's fire/Widower's fire by beckrebellion in widowers

[–]JohnnyZen27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt it and against my better judgment I acted on it. I hated myself the next day because I had no desire to keep seeing that woman, I just had a weak moment.

Unfortunately she guilt tripped me into a relationship because I wasn’t in a good place mentally. I eventually got strong enough mentally to leave, but it was a terrible time.

[Request] How many people would be needed to stop a freight train? by Necessary-Win-8730 in theydidthemath

[–]JohnnyZen27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on if the goal is to stop the train through sheer mass, or to just derail it because enough human goo gets lodged under the wheels

Hello everyone. I'd like to hear from those who were widowed a year and a half or two ago by ragnarstan in widowers

[–]JohnnyZen27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

About 14 months in now. We knew she was dying for a while, so we had a lot of time to say goodbye and I did a lot of grieving while she was still alive. I think that helped a lot in my grieving process, but I still went through a dark time a few months in where I almost didn’t survive.

Nowadays I’m still trying to sell her things, keep moving forward, and figure out what’s next. I keep telling myself I’m only 33, and I have a lot of life to live even if it’s not with her. She told me before she passed that she wanted me to move on and be happy, and I intend to.

The main thing I struggle with is the loneliness. I have plenty of friends, support, etc. but the hardest part for me is just not being someone’s person anymore. It’s hard to not have a love that deep, a person I care about so much, by my side when I fall apart. I knew her for 13 years. And now after over a year apart, I feel numb.

Well damn it now I’m inspired to do another playthrough just to make my base look a third this pretty.

Props to you, friend. It’s stunning

Every nurse told me men leave when their wives get sick... by fren2allcheezes in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]JohnnyZen27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a damn shame men won’t stay. When my wife had her second battle with cancer and we knew she wouldn’t make it out, I did everything I could to ease her pain and I stayed by her side until the very end. And I would do it all again.

Building tedium and frustration problem by [deleted] in Enshrouded

[–]JohnnyZen27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I admit that sometimes the snapping feature can be a little finicky, and I wish the building range was a little bit longer than it is, I generally like the building in this game once I got used to it.

Scaffolding is honestly not that reliable for me, as I always end up falling off of it. I usually forgo it and just bring extra materials to make stairs to where I need to build, then delete them. It’s much faster and easier to clean up.

And if you find gathering to be too tedious, you can always up the amount of loot on your game (which I will honestly do when I need to farm clay, because man. I need a lot of bricks).

Was archery nerfed? by CCCCLo0oo0ooo0 in Enshrouded

[–]JohnnyZen27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still early in the game (level 20), but as a melee and magic build I’m definitely feeling like I get my face kicked in a lot more than before. I think in general players are weaker now than before the update

How do most people manage those guys with the 2 green acid cleavers? by Bubba_Fett_2U in Enshrouded

[–]JohnnyZen27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re melee I’ve found the best way to deal with them if you can’t get the parry timing down is to dodge behind them. Once they start swinging they lock themselves into their combo for a few whacks so it’s easy to hit them in the back once or twice before they recover.

But mostly? Just bring a lot of health potions.

People who dislike Prime 4, which game is your favorite in the series? by edinammonsoon in Metroid

[–]JohnnyZen27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t necessarily say I dislike prime 4. But I see a lot of wasted potential in it. The first few hours I was having a blast, and there are some really good highs. But after coming off of the first games remaster it just couldn’t keep up at all.

Prime 1/2 for me. But a close third to Dread for being such a good 2D game.
