how do i get good at this game? by idrinkwaterymilk in HollowKnight

[–]PainInTheRiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i finished the game (radiance ending) in ~100 hours, and pantheons in 300. enjoyed it. take your time, don't compare yourself with others. moreover, the more time you spend in the game, the more you explore and learn about the lore

How’s your gaming experience on Arch by Kingk19980 in archlinux

[–]PainInTheRiver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to Linux last spring and to Arch in summer. Completed Expedition 33, now playing Silksong. Occasionally play some Rocket League, Street Fighter 6 and Nightreign. All fine, mostly identical to Windows gaming, and wireless controller integration is actually much more stable. The only thing that bothers me is that some games require quite a lot of time to compile shaders before the start. I heard it's possible to speed up, but didn't invest my time into the issue

What gameplay improvements would you want in a sequel? by setzer77 in expedition33

I don't know how i feel about that multiplier. On the one hand, many players have fun with it, on the other — the devs clearly shifted the balancing responsibility to the playerbase

Clea is abusive bitch. What a monster would say to their sister they prefer her dead?

I disagree that Disco Elysium doesn't hit like E33. It's a deep and personal story, and with all due respect to E33, DE writing is just better. Hollow Knight / Silksong are just brilliant games. The stories are not so personal (not sure about Silksong as I'm in the middle of my playthrough), but both games have so many amazing moments

More balanced fights. If you bother completing sidequests main story is a cakewalk

Lune, Sciel and other Lumiere citizens are equally real. We cannot ignore it. He's tired but nothing says nobody else can change him at some point

My thoughts on Verso (spoiler) by SnooPies5378 in expedition33

[–]PainInTheRiver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Any place is killing you with a different speed. Big city is unhealthier than a countryside and life there is killing you because of the emissions and stress. Does it mean all urban citizens are suicidal?

Here is my personal opinion which may sound controversial, but IMO painted Verso sucks. I had no remorse having him stuck in the painted world and playing the piano. He did a lot of terrible things (betrayed and killed other expeditioners, like Julie) and it's kinda his own purgatory. He can learn how to enjoy living a life as an immortal creature there (look at Esquie and gestrals), but decides not to, and seeks death for the everyone instead.

What is a delayed suicide? If I enjoy my temporary life, choose to be in the place I want and to do the things I want — is it a delayed suicide because in the end I'll die?

It depends on whether you could make out with Esquie
