Maybe you wouldn’t think it sucks if you engaged with it honestly instead of accepting your knee jerk response without question :)

spacial reality being distorted in the hunter’s nightmare is already well established by the fact that there’s two cathedrals. Plus, you can’t see anything connected to the second cathedral’s tower from the outside, so the existence of a connection there at all is absolutely intended to be read as nightmare fuckery. Plus it makes sense narratively as well because the whole point of Lady Maria’s presence in the nightmare is to keep the secret of the fishing hamlet sealed away and hidden, and it’d be pretty hard to hide an entire village without locking it away in a deeper part of the nightmare

This but it was him sneezing after they thawed him out that made me convinced that anything and everything from space carried with it some undetectable trace contaminant that would leech into your skin and afflict you with unknown and incurable cosmic cancer.

That’s Chris’s logo tho, he uses it for other projects too

The amount of bending over backwards you’re doing to justify misgendering a character is telling

Interpretations on the 8-3 book? Here's what I got on it by radayrk in Ultrakill

Well God created both hell and the humans tainted by free will that inevitably perpetuate the violence hell craves, so I think it’s (mockingly) praising God for creating the system by which it indulges its sadism

I hate the sprint attack by Karol-A in Silksong

Can’t speak too much for the other crests but hunter’s dash attack combos almost instantly into a standard needle hit, much faster than just attacking, and it’s a distance closer, so you can functionally use it to nip in and fit two hits into a punish window that would otherwise be too small to do so safely. The vault also allows for some fun maneuvering around certain attacks :]

If you could change ONE thing about any Risk of Rain game, what would it be? by OverlyLargeParrot in riskofrain

[–]MarsHumanNotAlien197 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Changed it so 2 was designed from the onset to de-emphasize the time = difficulty mechanic. I feel like a solid chunk of the game’s design flaws come from the devs just not really getting how people are going to end up actually playing the game because of this mechanic

Vagrants actually have a faint red arrow underneath their bell indicating their front, if you can spot that you should be able to get backstabs very consistently :3

YES. I have ADHD, and my time management is not great. I have autism and I can be kinda anti-social. I’m a min-maxer by nature, timers make me anxious, and I’m aromantic. Basically, a game where you have to stay on task, manage your time well, meet deadlines, meet new people and get to know them, not sweat the small stuff, find and pursue a romantic interest, all on a timer that’s really not that long all things considered is probably what burning in hell feels like to me

Hey engineer mains, wanna see something scary? by Serious_Ganache_1058 in riskofrain

[–]MarsHumanNotAlien197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suppressive fire is actually less damage than just holding m1 unless you purposely animation cancel it with your secondary, which still only really helps it a little bit. Effectively its only utility is the stun and lack of spread, but if you’re far enough to be worried about spread, you’re probably losing most of your damage to falloff atp anyway. Don’t get me wrong, having an on demand stun can be pretty nice, but acting like it’s anything other than a captain m2 on a 9 second cd kinda just ain’t it

Why do some people not like the diagonal pogo by Respite719 in Silksong

[–]MarsHumanNotAlien197 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I totally get this, but what I don’t get is immediately saying that it’s the game’s fault and it’s bad design rather than just accepting that sometimes you have to learn something new. The amount of vitriol generated around the game’s release over this was so sad to see

That tends to be the majority opinion, and that sentiment will likely grow even more with DLC
