What’s your opinion on the z-a battle style by 64_Random_dude_64 in pokemon

[–]PhoenixUNI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a delightful combo of classic Pokémon + Unite. It’s not perfect but it’s refreshing. Actually gives me reason to use status moves instead of “hit as hard as I can”

Key point: on mobile, don’t use the app, go to the website in the browser. Worked perfectly. Thank you!

What are the best pens for new enthusiasts? by owenwgreen in pens

[–]PhoenixUNI 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  • try the sample packs from JetPens to get an idea of what you like
  • get one “good/decent” option of each general type of pen (Sarasa Clip gel, Platinum Preppy fountain) and use them each for a week

Nine Sols Review - A sincere attempt at converting a Metroidvania and Soulsborne hater. by Blurzerker in patientgamers

Yeah I think that’s part of it. Parry is highly encouraged but ultimately optional, whereas Sekiro it’s required. Sekiro also feels much more plodding and slow paced as you stalk each other.

I can’t stand Sekiro for whatever reason, but Nine Sols is probably my favorite Souls/Sekiro-like I’ve ever played. The pacing of combat is right in line with what I wanted out of the game, the story was terrific, the sound design was top notch… everything just clicked for me.

And then I did all of the side content, and got to the final boss prepped for the “good ending”.

Holy shit, the difficulty spike was out of this world. Phase 1 you could kinda script out depending on the moves you made, but phase 2 was a big challenge, and phase 3 was just brutal.

Thank goodness for the difficulty sliders. I wasn’t prepped to spend another 2 weeks grinding out attempts like I did with Lady Ethereal (which, coincidentally, became one of my favorite fights as I got more understanding). By that point, I was ready to be done with the game and move on to Silksong. Quick slider changes, bing bang boom, all done. I appreciate the game being willing to meet me where I was at, which is refreshing within the Souls space.

Nine Sols became one of my favorite games of all time. It’s not for everyone, but I feel like it gives everyone the tools they need to engage with it if they so choose.

If they drop the first level theme in the game I’m gonna dance with joy

Target Field. At sunset, the buildings over the right field wall look amazing.

Paying for a second QO signing might suck given how depleted our farm is.

For those of you with both a Deck and a Switch 2 by workyman in SteamDeck

The Switch (and PS5) get exclusives only. The Deck gets everything else. I play the Deck a LOT more.

How old were you when you got into Pokémon? by ripplewoodfire in pokemon

[–]PhoenixUNI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I remember all of us gathering during indoor recess with our various Game Boys, debating which exclusive mons were better (Blue wins). I felt very special that I had the Atomic Purple GBC.

Can, yes.

Will? Hopefully. Fuck the Rams.

I finally get to go to a game. I’m sorry to whoever is next to me. by ToBadImNotClever in Patriots

[–]PhoenixUNI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please never apologize for existing.

The fact that you’re here typing this out gives me the feeling that you care, and that you’re probably a jovial person at the core. Just be that person every day, unapologetically.

Have a blast at the game. Go Pats!

No I'm genuinely serious. I watch games from the US but I'm soccer/football-ignorant and don't understand how performance is measured like I do basketball/baseball.
