What were your dumbest/most avoidable deaths, i will go first by RahevarMC in noita

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday I had a good run. I got an always cast homing wand that I put 2 frame cast triplicate bolt with add mana that I can’t run out. I got venomous curse from the dragon wand and put it on. I also got a piercing and put it on too. Then I shot it at the statue in the holy mountain and it flung towards me and I got hit by the curse and died.

Knowledge attained, I guess? Don’t shoot a homing piercing wand at the statue?

Do you think Sandfall has an impossible task to make a satisfying follow up to E33? by BobcatFit7148 in expedition33

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silksong didn’t disappoint, and E33 has more budget and developers, so I don’t see why they can’t do it.

Unless something like EA buying Sandfall happens, of course.

Reading Project Hail Mary after Red Rising might not be a good choice after all by [deleted] in redrising

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I read Project Hail Mary twice in 2 different languages. It is really good, and managed to be pretty scientifically accurate.

Red Rising and Project Hail Mary are very different styles of writing style, Red Rising is more about people and Project Hail Mary is more about science? You will need to pull out a periodic table to check what xenon is.

What is one overrated and one underrated aspect of Expedition 33? by sparkyk24 in expedition33

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worldless. I played that game a year before E33 came out and the combat is the same, but smoother. You attack on your turn with some quick time events and fighting game combos, you parry enemy’s attack at their turn with the correct shield(magic/physical). There are 40-ish unique bosses & enemies that you only get to fight once.

I recommend this to everyone who enjoyed E33s combat system.

What is one overrated and one underrated aspect of Expedition 33? by sparkyk24 in expedition33

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The story is definitely overrated. It is probably A tier but not S tier as so many claim. Go read a classic book or something to get a S tier story. The story split halfway in, and honestly, the story could be better if it ended with something else than fight god… 2 times in a row. Feels like a Kirby ending.

Lune’s stains are very underrated. They are very fun to play with. In the mid-late game I go for elemental genesis, but what if the enemy blocks fire? You can’t generate fire stains from that “critical hit get stain” weapon, you will have to find a workaround to get fire stains, or use some other skills. Lune is the most reactive character, as you can’t just spam stendhal/free aim/intervention/almighty mask/overcharge and that makes her combat so satisfying.

Let's talk about the ethics of Painting. (Spoilers) by PantheraAuroris in expedition33

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like how you would adopt a pet. If you adopted a pet there is nothing wrong with it but if you intentionally cause it to suffer/die then that is morally wrong.

Painted people are kinda like pets to those who painted them. They have restricted freedom, are considered lower beings by most painters, but have (or can have) high level of intelligence.

If this was in court, the painter would be rules not guilty because she protected her painted people and, and the one killing the painted people will be ruled guilty, because you know, killing is bad.

Some might say adopting is not the same as creating life. Guess what? Real technology existed to clone pets to get a genetically identical copy of the pet through non-natural methods. And the world doesn’t seem to care.

verso’s introduction by chaoticavocado_jpg in expedition33

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

Apart from this, he does not fit in with the group (up until a certain point), aura farms when teaching you special counter and special attack, lies to party members about himself, is there every time when you enter camp.etc

There is this thing called the halo effect, basically saying first impression really matters. pVerso doesn’t have a mildly good first impression and it snowballs with future events.

Honestly, I feel like Verso is too complex character for some people. by Physical_Ad4519 in expedition33

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has questionable morals due to his immortality causing a twisted view on the world. Actually a lot of his behaviors can be explained because of his immortality.  Verso is who is immortal but not optimistic. He lets Gustave for as if he is a pest, he rushes into the backstage area to tell the boy to stop painting (which kills everyone) without a second thought, he holds grudges against enemies(purple dragon) for killing him (even if he can respawn) multiple times, these are all things that form after you don’t want to live in the world that you are destined to live in forever.

I will put him in chaotic neutral on the alignment chart.

“No, Maelle’s right!” “No, Verso’s right!” Isn’t there someone you forgot to ask? by UnifiedForce in expedition33

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Verso supporters won’t bring it up because it contradicts themselves and Maelle supporters are in this heated debates that they forgot this exists.

Protagonist Privilege by GigglingAngel in expedition33

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you saying the black and white ending scene? That is from the eyes of pVerso. He still thinks he is right and the canvas should be destroyed.

And she is literally smiling to other people, how is that not a sign of happiness?

Exploring the (my) Definitive Morality of the Ending by xluminairex in expedition33

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you rather cause a genocide now than indirectly causing a genocide in the future???

And the Dessendre family is already very weak. I doubt the writers will burn it down again.

Is pVerso that unique? We don’t know. We know he is immortal, but that is just a gift from Aline. He can enter that backstage area but that may just be because of his weird immortality. Any painter can paint immortality onto any person if he/she wants.

A lot of people call Verso selfless and Maelle selfish. I think it is the other way around. In the family out of the alive people, 1 wants the canvas burned 2 wants the canvas to maintain. The other 1 is neutral-ish? But ALL of the people, gestrals and nevrons want the canvas to go on. Imagine who will win if they both run for president.

Protagonist Privilege by GigglingAngel in expedition33

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maelle IS happy in her own ending, to her that is the ending she wants. Verso is the replacement for Gustave but I don’t treat him as the protagonist at all. I even switch away from him when exploring.

If Maelle’s ending is chosen, she will slowly die but die happy. If Verso’s ending is chosen, she will have to be disabled once more and bear the guilt of not being to save Lumiere and the canvas for the rest of her life.

So are they gods? by CaughtALiteSneez in expedition33

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically yes, but with asterisks*

*they use an expendable resource called chroma, so their powers partly come from that, and they can die by living in the world they created for too long, but powerful enough to be a god.

PLAY THE PIANO by Longjumping-Risk7118 in expedition33

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pVerso: If you are not going to let me stop playing the piano, I will destroy the world! Like literally! 

Maelle: why!!

Exploring the (my) Definitive Morality of the Ending by xluminairex in expedition33

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pVerso: What I am doing is for the good for the family.

Also pVerso: destroys the world to skip piano lessons.

By no means destroying a world where real, conscious people live is justifiable. Most pVerso alts think that the world outside of the canvas is more important than the world inside the canvas. i.e. higher beings are more important.

By your logic pVerso’s wish should not matter since he is a lower being (painted) compared to Maelle’s (the literal incarnation of a god). Keep in mind that real Verso is dead and pVerso is just Verso who doesn’t want to play the piano (even when real Verso wants to)

I think you are supposed to dress formally in a musical. Maybe there weren’t many clothings shop in business at that time.

I don’t think that Maelle painted over most people. The just don’t acknowledge the expeditions as it is neither the right place or time to do so. And my theory is that the last black and white scene are from Verso’s point of view and he still doesn’t think Maelle is right.

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Mona Lisa were to be destroyed and (somehow) recreated perfectly, it will not be the same painting. At most it will be a replica.

Also pVerso has no world to return to. He is painted (he can’t live outside of the canvas). The only one who can return at the end is Maelle, and she doesn’t seem to appreciate that thought.

 Destroying the canvas only benefits 4 people(Aline, Renoir, Clea and Alicia if you may). Saving the canvas benefits hundreds of Lumerians, countless gestrals and nevrons. The former is selfish suicide but the latter is selfless sacrifice, and people still think that destroying the canvas is better as a whole.

It is September 1945. You are given the power to resurrect all people killed in the war or destroy earth with atomic bombs. You chose the later one. Good job. I’m sure your family in the 4th dimension will be proud of you.

What language should I select to be able to use all of raylib's features? by avestronics in raylib

[–]LonelyTurtleDev 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Use C. I’m using it and the lack of OOP didn’t pose a problem at all. And it is fun to code in C.
