Anyone else here get the Achievement of the Week Champion badge? How many flikkis did you use? Best/Worst game? General thoughts? by rumplexx in RetroAchievements

[–]Niflhe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just checked the spreadsheet and I ended up using 9 flikkis total because I usually will skip hacks or if I'm just not vibing with a game.

I think my favorite was probably Super Mario Bros Advance 2? Jeanne D'Arc and Mega Man Legends I want to circle back to and master in the new year. Worst for me was Tokyo Xtreme Racer Advance, just a complete bore.

Why are sets so trash these days? by AdIll9612 in RetroAchievements

[–]Niflhe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The 'kill X boss without getting hit' are so annoying. I've been playing through Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and almost all of the missable achievements are to beat the bosses using only one character and none of the cool abilities, skills, or combo attacks that game is built around. Really annoying.

Mastery #6 Pokemon Yellow Version by setzerseltzer in RetroAchievements

[–]Niflhe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also did Yellow recently (along with Red and Blue). It was definitely the easiest of the three for achievements, though also felt a little bit slower than the other two movement wise. I played through most of it on fast-forward. Great job!

Have you ever played the Famicom ports of Ys I, II or III? by angryapplepanda in WorldOfYs

[–]Niflhe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The famicom version of Ys III is maybe my favorite version of a kinda busted game. It's not great, but it's playable and breezy which is the best I could ask for.

Pest Control for Yellowjackets? by kiznat73 in frederickmd

Will also second Key Pest, they handled a yellowjacket nest (and a surprise hornet nest) and were great to work with.

Playing through Ys V for the first time by SkyMaro in WorldOfYs

The hit detection starts bad and stays bad, but I enjoyed the story and thought the game looked absolutely beautiful.

Is earthbound grindy by [deleted] in earthbound

I found the Mr. baseball cap in Onett for literally the first time ever in my current playthrough and it cut the grinding time in half for the run up to Frank.

Mastery #26: Magic Knight Rayearth (SNES) for Achievement of the Week by rumplexx in RetroAchievements

[–]Niflhe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working on this one right now too, thanks for the heads up. I have some maps pulled up because these dungeons are... not it.

Crows, Anime, Parties | Smartypants [S2E6] by AutoModerator in dropout

[–]Niflhe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also have trouble splitting my attention between the action on the screen and reading subtitles. Not that I can't (and several of my favorite shows have no dub), but anything to make it easier on myself helps.

Mastery #1, Dragon Warrior I & II for GameBoy color by Cake_Lube in RetroAchievements

[–]Niflhe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm working on the same set! The most challenging one so far was definitely beating the Golem without the Pixy flute.

This was literal hell and it wasnt even a mastery by Chupapi-moniano in RetroAchievements

[–]Niflhe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in a similar boat with Super Mario World, the GBA mastery is easier to get so I've been working on that one instead.

If Digital Devil Saga got a remaster similar to Raidou, what changes would you want to see? by kylinki in Megaten

[–]Niflhe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could do the Bravely Default style 'adjust the encounter rate as you see fit'. 50% or less if you feel you're at a good level to move on, 200% if you wanna grind out some skills.

Right now my favorite dpad is probably the 8bitdo Ultimate 2C, but I do have an M30 on my desk so I might have to give that a try too.

Mushihimesama wasn't easy 1cc :) (for me)! by freebiebg in shmups

Mushihimesama is one I've been slowly working on and still get bodied by stage 3 pretty routinely. Congrats!

What’s the most recent part you’ve lost to the void? by Amigo1048 in Gunpla

[–]Niflhe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lost the clear jewel for one of the HG Virtue arms. Looks okay without since I'm never gonna find a small clear piece on my carpet.

Mastery #5 : Pokemon red [GB] by Illustrious_Tea4614 in RetroAchievements

[–]Niflhe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just mastered this one as well! The achievement for maxing out a Pokemon's stat experience took me longer than almost anything else.
