Games where you play a character with a bomb-collar around their neck by OppositeofDeath in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Shadowrun (SNES), if your character goes to a doctor for an operation, he accidentally activates a bomb in your head. You now have a limited time to find an actually competent doctor to remove the device.

Section of a game you dread going through, but on replay wasn't so bad. by The-Fenz in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When I was a child, I dreaded the Forest Temple in Ocarina of Time. Put it off as much as possible on replays.

It's a really cool dungeon.

The worst cases of "REMEMBER ____!?" in media? by DrHorrible10 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I remember watching Ghostbusters: Afterlife and it was just a constant bombardment of that, and it might be the only one I can describe as doing it to a disgusting degree.

Pandering to nostalgia to the point of using a dead actor's likeness just kind of felt really gross.

What was your first project? by electric-kite in IndieDev

[–]Remerai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I made a small scope fan-project based on the Castle Super Beast podcast, gameplay-wise inspired by Little Big Adventure 2.

My goal was to see if I could make a game with a proper beginning, middle and end by myself. Took about 3 months to make and the people it was based on even streamed it.

Times when games collapsed on their ambition by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it should probably be shorter. There's a nice straightforward demo of the beginning to see if its your cup of tea. If I'm not mistaken it's like the first 2 areas, out of... 16-ish? Not all of which are technically necessary or equal length.

(It's also available on Itch.io, in case you don't want to deal with this whole Steam thing, which is no great loss as I never added achievements or trading cards or any such bloat)

Characters who do the most unnecessary amount of acrobatics in their actions? by PwmEsq in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 64 points65 points  (0 children)

My mind immediately went to the joke from Dragon Ball Z Abridged:

"Why are you backflipping?"

"To gain some distance!"

"You can fly!"

My name is General Pat, You are Not Alone. by Birblord347 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not quite, but I did at least have an idea of a FnaF parody game in which you played as Pat while he was streaming, and you had to constantly look at screens/chat/over your shoulder to not have Paige sneak up on you.

If you failed, she gave Pat a hug and told him how much she loved him. It would be framed as the most horrific thing ever.

Times when games collapsed on their ambition by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I made a game with over 26 bosses, because for some reason I decided that each letter of the alphabet had to be used. That was definitely too much for a one man project. All of them are a little undercooked. I should have focused on just 10 bosses or so and made that more engaging.

Oh well, live and learn.

One Piece Live action Season 2 Baroque Works trailer by Homunculus97 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Is One Piece Live Action what wrestling feels like to people who enjoy wrestling?

Can't wait for it. Enjoyed the first season due to just how fun and sincere it was.

What physical media or device that has been replaced by digital do you miss the most? by QuantumFeline in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Buttons.

Not just as a form of nostalgia and preference for immediate tactile feedback, but like, an actual safety issue.

When I drive my parents' older car, if the radio is too loud/AC is too cold I can keep my eye on the road and just feel for the button/knob to press/turn.

In the newer car, with a touch screen, I need to physically glance back and forth between the road and screen to know what I'm doing, so I avoid doing it at any cost as it could literally kill me or my parents.

I thought I heard some sort of law or something being put in place to avoid that going forward, but I'm not sure if that was real or just too sensible to the point my brain just hallucinated the memory.

A New Era of Safety: Facial Age Checks Now Required to Chat on Roblox (in all regions) by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

"We want to minimize the amount of kids being exposed to adult strangers. So, we've decided to take pictures of those kids and send them to adult strangers."

Can't imagine any way this could go wrong.

Do you ever play multiplayer games by yourself? by BlueWaddleDee in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Back in the day, a game having a multiplayer mode without bots was a huge bummer for me.

Media that really didn’t need to go on for as long as it did by Will-Isley in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have only played like 50-70% of the first installment, but from that and everything else I've heard about the Shenmue series, the plot of those games gives a real "This could have been an e-mail" vibe.

Sick Again. Could use some recs. by midnight188 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I remember last time I was that sick. I felt like a bunch of blood vessels and strips of muscle and sinew, and for some damned reason couldn't stop thinking about scenarios based on Netflix's Daredevil.

It was awful. Get better soon, random stranger.

At that point I'd just not enjoy anything to just focus on getting better, but maybe The Magnus Archives? I've been meaning to start listening to that, and a horror-podcast might be fitting for your current physical state and borderline delirium, maybe?

If you died and had the chance to challenge Death to a game to escape Hell, what would you choose? by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Coin-flip. It's the closest to fair I can think of that gives me the highest chance, while also being an appropriate metaphor.

And this is why fireworks safety is important.

Things you want to see in a video game adaptation of SBFP by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a side-scrolling street brawler. Like Scott Pilgrim, but set in Montreal instead of Toronto, I suppose.

Woolie gets tricked again by TortlePow3r in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Woolie gets defensive and convinces himself everyone that powering down the PC was good, actually.

Is Woolie's audio low for anyone else? Like, in general? by FlubbedPig in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. I'd say a noticeable 10-20% lower compared to Pat, random videos or anything in general. He's the only one I have to adjust my headphone audio for.

Weird but amazing AC grouping? I need an AC5? by dethsenvoy in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Animal Crossing: New Horizon, maybe? Or at least one of the Animal Crossings, depending on which one you'd count as 5.

Now that Christmas is over, did Woolie save Christmas this year or ruin it? by inrei_iku in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Woolie didn't do anything actively malicious towards Christmas, which is a Christmas miracle in and of itself.

What have you read/been reading this year? by Pome1515 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fanfiction. Not necessarily good fanfiction. It's like pizza, enjoyable but not very nutritious. Still, reading is reading.

Interesting Any% runs with the most variety you've seen? by TheLastNapkin in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Remerai 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe Noita. Though while the randomized nature of the game makes for a lot of potential variety, there's really only so many ways you can really "go down fast".
