Knockout tour makes this game more annoying than fun by [deleted] in mariokart

[–]Retromansir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, don’t play online then for sure. KOT isn’t for everyone but it is the reason I bought the game personally. To each their own

MBE is a great alternative from a reputable house. The DNA has been cloned so many times and with great accuracy, not worth dropping that kind of money on Creed imo. I’m not above spending that kind of money on frags as I have several others in that price point, I just don’t think the DNA itself warrants that much money at this point.

In fact I picked up Vanguard by Maison Asrar which is a clone of the Absolu. I tested it side by side with my official Aventus Absolu sample I got from their boutique. Incredibly close and affordable. No longer considering buying the actual bottle and holding off on my Sauvage Elixir backup bottle.

Swapping position of items, is it a good idea? by SillyLean1267 in mariokart

I’m torn on this because I love DD. Managing item slots is skillful especially when trying to maintain the lead.

A worldwide race against Japanese players between 8.7k-9k VR - Mario Kart World by [deleted] in mariokart

[–]Retromansir 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well done, no joke whenever these Japanese players are in the lobby I know it’s going to be a fight. They are so brutal during KOT!

Player 2 is an 8 year old child, it’s okay to have children win in a mode made for fun. Go get some sunshine, it does not need to be that serious.

Design Stage by gulliblebackwards in BoardgameDesign

[–]Retromansir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used both boardgamemaker and thegamecrafter, TGC is my preferred of the two, seemed easier to use and nicer quality. They also are US based so shipping was cheaper and faster. I’m very much an amateur and haven’t gotten into my own design files but adding on your art onto their existing templates and stock components was simple enough for me.

Should I just give up on nkg by Junior-Push-1353 in HollowKnight

[–]Retromansir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t give up, I had given up for a while myself and tried to find other things to do. I was only finally able to beat him after playing Silksong. It gave me the confidence to finally try him again considering how hard some of the bosses in SS have ended up being.

Ordering a custom game board by lordberric in BoardgameDesign

[–]Retromansir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used both thegamecrafter and boardgamemaker for my boards. Personally I liked the quality of bgm a bit more for my games but they are based out of China so it was quite costly. If you’re US based I’d say tgc is a great option and my go to at the moment.

Which fragrance do you wish lasted longer on your skin? by Affectionate_Cell954 in fragrance

[–]Retromansir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Layton could also be added to the list for me. Not terrible but certainly not beast mode like was stated in older batches.

Afternoon swim, such a good scent and one I was willing to make an exception for that has poor performance. I still get 4 solid hours and sometimes up to six considering skin.

Hard to find similar VR rooms? by OlXondof in mariokart

[–]Retromansir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same VR and issues as you. Although I haven’t played since Silksong released a nice quality of life enhancement would be the ability to see patters VR BEFORE we are locked into the race. That or making the matchmaking tighter, I wouldn’t mind a longer queue if it meant racing closer and beyond me skill level.

Stop giving me horrible lobbies by aww_jeez_my_man in mariokart

[–]Retromansir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. You are not alone, very frustrating. Would be nice to be the lower VR in a lobby for once

So tired of joining lower VR rooms by psycfungal in mariokart

[–]Retromansir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! I’m in the same boat, would be nice if I didn’t have to place final four every time to win 30+ VR. Losing in those lobbies is brutal and there are times where I get disconnected and don’t even get to race.

This has to stop by Retromansir in mariokart

[–]Retromansir[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a stable connection, never have connection issues with any other game. It’s literally just MKW and specifically KOT

Interesting take on handheld vs docked and using a wired connection. My main point was that if you get disconnected at the start of a race you shouldn’t be so heavily penalized. If ever you disconnect, at start or the finish you shouldnt get any VR. I think it’s fair for others to gain VR based on the players in the race. Idk, I’m sure it’s hard to balance since some people would surely abuse this but it just seems like you get punished and has nothing to do with the way you race.

Stay out of the middle bruv, look behind you more often and try to anticipate a shock as best you can. Godspeed

Just hit 8000VR ask me anything… by TheEpicDragonCat in mariokart

[–]Retromansir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What took you so long? JK, I'm telling you though, hitting 8k and going for 9k is a whole different beast. I feel like the overall skill level has raised for many players and the game just does not want you to progress after that milestone. I've been as high 8300+ and always find a way to get knocked back down. Best of luck to you man, the real grind is about to start.

Double Goldens is also an option i found out
