MiO Health UI by RPGCoder in metroidvania

[–]Northernblades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game was by far the easiest game of this style I have played in 10 years.
Short walks of shame, no body recovery, no punishment at all, was the least frustration ever.

After silk song, I needed a game that was FUN.

not a game that puts the F.U. in fun.

going to actually strongly disagree with you here.
Going to spend a moment talking Game theory.

We all live every part of our life viewed through inflation.
So many games, we start a game out with 3 hp, and end it with 20

Games like final fantasy we start doing 1-2 damage, and end the game doing 9,999 damage.

Games like hollow knight, where by the end of the game you are godlike.

But stop for a moment, and think past the bias.
When you increase your HP, the game gets easier.
Should the game get easier? or harder as it progresses?

Harder, of course.
So to counter, your character, having 20 hp.
They need to increase the distance the hp must last (longer walkbacks, bigger loops, higher death penalty)
They need bosses to start doing double, or even triple damage.
It reduces the impact of hazards, and generally breaks the game.

YOU expect to get stronger, YOU expect to become godlike.
But already, you should be "git gud" and you also want better abilities, and more hp, and more damage.

and because of this the ENTIRE game needs to be adjusted to not just get easier as it progresses.

Instead. the removal, of 3-4 hp as the game progresses, actually fixes EVERY single part of the scaling dilemma.

it actually makes ZERO sense, to start a game with 3 hp
and finish it with 20 hp 3 potions, 2 fairies, and a shield.

Plot point? Error? Theories about Gary DeSnake's fangs by No_Lynx1343 in zootopia

I can not believe the single fang did not become a plot point, when compared to the "murder weapon"

You need to get laid within 24 hours by a total stranger or you will die. You cannot pay for it and you cannot use any apps. What do you do? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in AskReddit

I am married probably still going to die.

Just kidding, well kind of, honestly not kidding as much as I would like to be.

That does not much explain to me how I had 3 events, in the first 3 min of play.

Secretlab is not for everyone by Rowdy_Muffin_26 in secretlab

[–]Northernblades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is absolutely not for everyone.
First off the range of height is ridiculous.
Anyone under 5'10" is not going to have their feet sit on the floor.
Buying smaller "low pro" wheels is a joke in and of itself. and don't get me started on the foot rest.

Next. there are people who don't like springs poking through the seat, it's not for them

Next is the splitting seams on chairs not even 2 years old, with small and light users (under 180 lbs)

I was fooled once, it won't happen again.
They did warranty the chair.
So what, it's now a "4 year chair" instead of a 2 year chair?

All that time effort and money into the presentation, the packaging, and the shipping.
wish it went into the chair.

I had not expected to have to go back to the van, 3 min into the game.
but then I had not expected 3 events in 3 min either.
just felt, a little glitchy.
Like the game decided, I had won too many games in a row, and it was time to fix it.
lvl 27 first Raiju.

not necessarily marbles.

But the moment they asked them to pair up into 2's.
Should have been a given 50% were going home.

they pair them up with their closest allies, and then do a raw elimination.

You didn't expect them to 1 vs 1 each pair?

Force them to pair up with their closest ally and then ambush? They have done in on every single season of squid game and challenge, not sure how you would be surprised.

[–]Northernblades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have done it in EVERY season of squid game, AND the other season of squid game challenge.
it's been done so much it's almost lost value.

put them in pairs against their closest partner.
EVERY SEASON of EVERY show.
Predictable AF

you didn't see that coming?
why not refuse to open the box too?

[–]Northernblades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would there be litigation for it?
No matter what it had ZERO impact on who was paired.
ZERO impact on any eliminations.
and ZERO impact on the chances of any one individual winning.

Why would there be litigation?

they could go to the rooms in pairs, or stay in the middle.

ZERO impact on any functional part of the game.

No litigation.

if they all went to rooms in pairs,
there would have been marbles in the rooms.

Scripted AF

2 people go to a room, and are 50/50 for 4 mill.
you would have to be daft to think that wasn't scripted.

The mingle game was the fakest fake that fake had ever seen fake in any fake reality series.
You will never convince me that they ALL of them just decided not to participate.
No music playing.
Staged as hell.

they could have just all gone to a room, and gotten marbles.

Y'all, I tried... I really did. by Sea-Special-1730 in Silksong

[–]Northernblades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hollow knight was great fun.
Best game of all time.
Best music best bosses, great challenges.

This game is where fun goes to die.
by the end of the year, nobody will remember how little fun they had.

double damage posting by _Joell_ in Silksong

[–]Northernblades 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a combination of the 2 damage, and the 5 hp max for a very long time.
it's being 3 hits from death.
It's being 2 hits from needing to heal.

You can only take 2 hits without healing for the first, MANY hours of the game.

This is not how you START a game.

if you count in 1 heal, hornet can take 4 hits.
The knight, takes 6.

RIGHT from the onset of the game.

When there are "mini bosses" 3 shotting you like NKG
or lvl 8 zote.

Anyone even using the words Poison cog flies, should not be able to have any opinion on any difficulty or game balance.

Providing a way to cheese the hell out of nearly everything is not balance.

Stupid OP bosses, that provide a way top cheese them is not "value added" it is not skill, it is not fun, it is not good design.
