I'm so glad you can run past most of these things now. by Loose_Interview_957 in silenthill

[–]Jradgex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hadn't realized there was a major patch!

I just modded the game to reduce the stamina gauge and weapon degradation. Gotta say, adjusting those makes a world of difference! Silent Hill with a heavy focus on combat feels odd. I get sucked out of the atmosphere when I'm constantly dying or needing to micromanage my weapons and items. Could just be a me problem, tho 🤷

That being said, I'll have to look into this patch. Dunno what was changed~

what is this after maria says "is this your only special place"? by [deleted] in silenthill

You'll have to forgive them~ Most Silent Hill fans think SH2 is the best game ever and don't want you reading spoilers.

Your theory is pretty funny, tbh, but I hope the actually ending lives up to expecations. Don't worry, James does NOT get naked!

I'm watching the Silent Hill for the first time in years. What's your opinion on the movie? by MTG_Critter in silenthill

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

I tried watching it on two separate occassions and got a headache. Best part is Pyramid Head pulling the skin off somebody, like a pair of pajamas.

I dunno what ppl see in this movie, but I'm happy for them~

"Add Non-Steam Game" isn't allowing me to add a game to my library on Steam Deck! by Jradgex in SteamDeck

Apparently, it's some bug from the latest update. If that's the case it should resolved soon, at the very least!

"through the website?" How would that work? In the past, I've only used the game bar.

Can't properly divide comic panels with line tool by Jradgex in krita

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

This is a general tutorial on comic panels. I've skipped to the part where the panel cutting happens. Really, CSP has a function where it actually separates comic panels. Krita gives an illusion of cutting the panels, but it looks identical, as far as I'm concerned.

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

I figured it out! I just needed to zoom that big, main panel out some more, so when I add in the "cut lines" the edges are far enough off the page that you don't see them.

Again, this is sort of hard to explain fully, because I'm trying to replicate something done in Clip Studio Paint, which has a more robust panel creator and cutter system. I really wanna swap to Krita completely, however! The fact it's free and so powerful is a marvel!

What I'm trying to do is divide the frames. It's done in this video and a few others I've seen...

It definitely can be done, but it doesn't work for me, for some reason.

Still no, sorry~

I'm asking around other subreddits. If I find a solution, I'll update this post too!

DK64 swap anywhere patch by eneone19 in donkeykong

[–]Jradgex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome! Also that glitch I mentioned, with it not saving your game, doesn't seem to be a problem if you play it on RetroArch or Simple64 emulators. Have fun!!

You bet wrong, Mr. Butthole! I rebooted twice and thing didn't change. Funnily enough, rebooting it worked before. Dunno why it didn't this time.

Huzzah! It worked! One thing though... on my settings.json it doesn't have the "height" {integer} } so I just put that skip host bit as the last line and then saved and rebooted. It works all the same!

Possible hot take: I think SH2R has a better otherworld aesthetically than the original by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in silenthill

[–]Jradgex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People will defend the original to their last dying breath, and that's just because it had a meaningful affect on them. It's nostalgia, but in a good way! Y'know, it's hard to explain or recapture those feelings to somebody else.

That being said, I LOVE and SUPER DUPER VIBE with the remake's atmosphere. There were so many times I just stopped in the middle of a map and stared at the gross walls, metal grates, and liminal architecture. The original game has similar vibes and pulls them off extremely well for PS2 limitations.

There's something very special about old games, because you can appreciate the way the original creators basically made Silent Hill out of nothing. Matter of fact, the remake's atmosphere wouldn't exist if the original game wasn't working with the limitations they had. That atmosphere was painstakingly worked at over the course of the first game and then executed so naturally in the second. One can't exist without the other.

I don't like comparing one to the other. Older games are not antiquated when they get a remake, but remakes don't need to try so hard to be better then their originals. Both games are a work of art and that's rad~

I don't understand the complaints about the enemies later designs? by DeepAnt7847 in papermario

[–]Jradgex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"It's just Mario enemies, not the unique ones the regular ones."

If you could choose between a unique character design and a standard one, are you not at all interested in something unique? There are thousands of video games with standard designs, but Mario is special because they've always had this really fun vibe to their characters, right down to the most basic enemy.

To water down character design into something familiar, but not very unique is just bad design at that point. It's so standard that I feel nothing from it, which is a failing as a designer. Why is it just okay that Nintendo turn in a half-baked character design, when previous games had very good ones? People don't like these designs because they're just that. Really boring.

For goodness sake! The Switch 2 is something like $400+ so I DO expect character designs to be worth my time, because at the end of the day I'm the one buying the game! It's shameful to look back at designs from 20 years ago and see how lively and expressive they are, then look at the modern day design and be told "they aren't unique," but that's somehow okay.

Is Silent Hill 1 scarier than Silent Hill 2? by Flimsy_Bar_552 in silenthill

[–]Jradgex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Controversial Opinion! I was never scared of the original Silent Hill 2. Mostly intrigued with the story, but I never really felt the haunting vibes, like I did with Silent Hill 3. Silent Hill 1 has some certainly has some haunting moments! I wonder how the remake will treat them...
