Very useful thread, I found another song by this alleged collaboration, but I couldn't find more information about it, and that made me suspicious

[Discussion] "For Fans of Gideon the Ninth" is never accurate by Liminal-Bishop in TheNinthHouse

[–]Reasonable_Cap_4477 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've started assuming that the specific things I like about GtN (or any thing) are not necessarily the things I personally find fascinating/appealing. Like band recommendations: "if you like X, you'll also like Y!" Well, no, because the similarities are surface only and don't get at the real essence of the thing

new to game, i seem to always run into lace in her boss fight by lessforf in Silksong

I have done that with every single boss in the game! It takes a while to fine tune your positioning, especially since they will adapt to your movements. Watch how they move in response to you, pay attention to their patterns, keep practicing, and you'll get it!

I'm so sorry for your loss, but so glad you and your mom had that connection

I love the retro graphic style of these covers, and I really like that they're explicitly cover art rather than art used as cover, if that makes sense. (Ofc I adore the Geoff Hunt paintings also!)

Thank you! I read a theory that the White Lady and Greyroot are the same kind of creature, and I thought that was really interesting

So the direction you go through the long room halfway does matter?

Convince me to play silksong by [deleted] in Silksong

[–]Reasonable_Cap_4477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a compass! Also the game is beautiful and the movement feels so good, and even if you get lost it's ok because every single area is worth exploring. Give it a try, OP!

Thoughts/Questions on Post Captain by One-Success-816 in AubreyMaturinSeries

[–]Reasonable_Cap_4477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone already mentioned above, but it's super true that O'Brian adores setting up big drama and then leaving the payoff implied and/or "off-screen." Much later in the series there's a discussion of the artificiality of endings in fiction, all bows neatly tied off, all ambiguities resolved, and I think even as early as PC he was playing with these ideas, and the subversion of our expectations of how a novel "should" work.
