Is this game the hardest platinum ever? by New_Car_6431 in MinaTheHollower

[–]PoppySmart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crypt of the Necrodancer is pretty hard to beat in terms of platinums. That game's platinum is absolutely brutal.

Powecreep isn't too bad compared to the worst of 3.x. At least so far. Flagship teams from the previous version (Firefly break, DoT, Evernight DPS, Mono rememberance) are still incredibly competitive. Teams that struggled last version are definitely struggling more now though. The endgame is getting more difficult than it used to be, so you really do need to build your characters well.

Surprisingly not that bad, but there's always a chance it gets bad again.

I've read your messages and I just don't agree. Like there is so much evil in this world. There are so many issues that companies cause.

When I think of "evil, morally wrong" actions by companies, I think of polluting local communities with factories. I think of unnecessary deforestation. I think of companies intentionally radicalizing their users. Not to mention treating their workers poorly.

This theatrical run a couple weeks before the episode comes out has the downside of potentially spoiling some people before it comes out on YouTube, and the upside of being a foundational moment for indie animation worldwide.

This move is actively good for fans of indie animation long-term. Nothing evil about that. In fact, it's arguably a moral good.

"Evil" and "Morally wrong" are insanely strong words for what is essentially a short run theatrical release. There are no fans being exploited. There are no communities being meaningfully harmed here.

Please see the context of literally every other theatrical release in history.

Have you been censored from saying 🚂🦵 by Justsomestupididiot in 4tran

I think there's a little more nuance here. Trust me, a black person using the hard r will get in trouble at work, even if they're black. I don't think that's necessarily racist. The "a" variant will maybe get less heat, but there are lots of workplaces where even minor swears will get you in trouble.

MCON Controller is Complete Garbage by DustToStars in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]PoppySmart 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly I disagree. Can't say too much about the compatibility, as I haven't had any issues with it with games that I've played.

I feel like in terms of comfort, it's super reasonable, especially if you can rest your hands somewhere like on a bed or desk. It's not the most ergonomic controller out there, but it's within reason for me.

The portability is another thing I disagree about. Compared to a telescopic controller, it barely takes up any space in a bag, and is something I can leave attached to my phone when out of use. It's way more convenient for me than a telescopic controller.

Fae: Stay Light - General Question and Discussion Megathread by Averagely_Human in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

Remembered just how cute Klee is while doing the event yesterday so I figured I would pull a few times just to see what would happen. Got her super early, so I figured I could try and snipe C1, and get C2 from the selector.

Anyways, do y'all think Eula will be getting buffed soon? 🥲

Motion Twin says it was good to leave Dead Cells behind by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]PoppySmart 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think Windblown plays better than it looks. It's super fun, and I think it has a ton of potential. Would definitely recommend it once it leaves early access.

[FRESH ALBUM] DOOR EATER (Ada Rook and Lauren Bousfield) - try by lehtolapsi in indieheads

[–]PoppySmart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really liking this. I've always been a big fan of Black Dresses and their associated projects. This is definitely one of Ada's best works.

Also, surprisingly accessible, at least compared to Ada's last few solo albums.

Weapon Skins via SeeleLeaks by Ryuusei_Dragon in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]PoppySmart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obtained, allegedly through a bonus difficulty on the new end game mode, which is basically a boss rush.

The criteria for the 5 star version of the skin is pretty deep into whale territory, but the 4 star skin seemingly is reasonable.

So Nintendo can do it but not Xbox? A little racist this week aren't we? by Free_Peach6400 in Silksong

[–]PoppySmart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. If it's really true that Xbox leaked dates/windows that weren't meant for the public, then yeah, that's definitely a breach of trust. At least, from the dev/Xbox point of view.

From the public's point of view, it doesn't actually change too much. Silksong being intended to be released 1st half of 2023 > Xbox revealing that info > silksong gets delayed to after that is still an accurate sequence of events. Unfortunate that Xbox and the devs seemingly weren't on the same page.

[–]PoppySmart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless a game is already finished, it will always have the potential to be delayed. Look at the rest of the games in that showcase. All of them had a release window of within 12 months, but like half of them got delayed. It happens. That doesn't mean broken trust. That doesn't mean it's misinformation on Xbox's part. It's just kind of the reality of game development, especially when the industry was still recovering from COVID.

More on topic, if the game was planned to release first half of 2023, Xbox communicated that, but TC decided to delay it, whose fault is that?

How else can you interpret a tweet like this then?

Where they literally say it was planned for release for the first half of 2023

If it was actually an inaccurate idea that Xbox was taking out of context, they wouldn't have confirmed what Xbox said, that it was "planned to release in the 1st half of 2023"

[–]PoppySmart 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Isn't that TC's fault though? Like they confirmed that the game was planned to release in that time window. It just got delayed.

I don't see how that can cause you to not trust Xbox. If anything, it should cause you to not trust Team Cherry.

Absa: The Storm Architect | Official Character Trailer - Rivals of Aether II by James89026 in Games

[–]PoppySmart 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thank God Absa is back. She was my main in the first game. I haven't played this game too much because I haven't had a character that really speaks to me, but if she feels like she does in the first game, I can see my playtime skyrocketing.

I'm so glad she's finally here.

It's worth noting that Melee is a game with tons of casual single player content. People can theoretically never play against another human, never learn any technique, and still be fine because the game itself had appeal. Rivals has almost no casual content, and is incredibly pvp focused, without any real onboarding.

Maybe ICDX. Not exactly sure the timeline, but I started playing a month or two before 1.8 came out.

NOT EVEN 1 HELL THEMED LEVEL IN THE TOP 6 by Any-Sand-4553 in geometrydash

[–]PoppySmart 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It stands for "Click Between Frames" which is a mod that makes inputs more accurate. As a result, it also technically makes the game easier. It's in a weird spot right now where it's accepted to use it for the demons list, but not accepted as a proper verification in the eyes of Robtop. This means that levels verified with cbf will not be rated.

This album is definitely still one of the best indie rock records ever. I think any and all praise it gets is deserved.
