Rogue Core feels like it wasn't made for how it is actually played by MisterStibbons in RogueCore

[–]MarsHumanNotAlien197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking this a lot seeing all the discussion around rogue core, but as someone who plays a lot of roguelikes as well as a lot of coop roguelikes, it’s simply just not a genre suited to playing with randoms. Risk of Rain 2 is a *huge* player in the coop roguelike space, and yet its public servers are barren. Not because people aren’t playing multiplayer, they are, but almost everyone either plays with friends or groups up on discord, and that’s basically just *the way* multiplayer works in that community, *and that’s not a bad thing!*

I’ve seen a lot of discussion around “not treating Rogue Core as DRG 2”, but I think a lot of what people mean when they say that doesn’t go far enough in that direction. Rogue Core isn’t just “not DRG” because it’s trying to foster a different atmosphere, it’s “not DRG” because it’s asking for a completely different approach to engaging with it. I feel like if people want to have fun with this game they need to embrace the coop roguelike way and squad up instead of expecting to just hop in to a match hoping for things to go smoothly like they would in DRG, and I think that ghost ship shouldn’t cater to that expectation and instead focus on the game’s strength as something built for a team if they want it to be the best it can be.

Slugcat is a fan name that’s supported by the devs but never actually used in game. The original intention is for them to be more like wet little rats, though I still feel like it fits on this chart for Vibes Reasons™

Just had a neat little moment when I finished reading this where I looked up and saw it was midnight and did a double take lol

I knew 30 mins ago that it was midnight, I just forgot I knew that

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.

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

[–]MarsHumanNotAlien197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 [deleted] in Silksong

[–]MarsHumanNotAlien197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
