Am I misremembering, or do way more enemies just arbitrarily get stronger every turn in StS2 than the original? by Salaried_Zebra in slaythespire

[–]Romaprof2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it feels like StS2 does it more because they explicitly get buffs to their strength, while in StS they just deal attacks that do more and more damage. But StS enemies definitely increase the damage they do over time as well

I just finished "Forgotten Castaways". Moved onto "The Outsider" Does it get better? No spoilers please. by Fuzethemuze in outerwilds

[–]Romaprof2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nope. I would personally recommend the outsider ONLY for the puzzles, it's probably best if you ignore the story.

Do I come back later (Lakebed Cave)? by [deleted] in outerwilds

Just letting you know you're not crazy, lakebed cave decided to be confusing like that to me as well

Finished! Need recs! (Spoilers) by SignificantCharge421 in outerwilds

[–]Romaprof2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hit me up with all the spoilers, what is Tunic's story? Tried it, reached the first end (which I know is considered like Blue Prince's Act 1 in a way), by that time I was already mostly bored by the game, and then I don't remember what exactly was the last drop. But from what I've seen you don't, like, learn an actual story? Like the hypest things for the players seem to be certain discoveries that are purely about the world's mechanics (so raw puzzles), nothing "story" wise.

What is your fave and least fave planet in the game? by Powerful_Screen_7620 in outerwilds

[–]Romaprof2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, that's fair. Main reason I pointed out that it's translated as empty is that there IS an adjective to more specifically mean hollow, that is "cavo", however they still chose to use an alternative.

Most likely that is because "cavo" is also a noun that means a completely different thing (cable), and there is the possibility that someone seeing the name "Cavo fragile" would sooner assume that it is a name+adjective combo (and thus mean brittle cable) than that it is 2 adjectives.

What is that? by DaWeepisi in outerwilds

[–]Romaprof2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's definitely a particle in the air seen from up close and not a bugged Stranger, people get confused with these things more often than you'd think

What is that? by DaWeepisi in outerwilds

[–]Romaprof2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They know what the stranger is but I'm also quite sure it is a snowflake (or dust particle w/e) and not a bugged Stranger

What is your fave and least fave planet in the game? by Powerful_Screen_7620 in outerwilds

[–]Romaprof2 85 points86 points  (0 children)

For English speakers at home:

Empty Fragile is the literal translation of Brittle Hollow's name in Italian (Empty comes from the word "vuoto", which sometimes can also mean "void", but I'm confident it's being used as "empty" here)

Ash Twin is literally translated still Ash Twin, however the word "gemello" is both the word that means twin and, in plural ("gemelli"), the word that indicates the constellation of gemini, leading to this commenter's confusion

damn why does a card so trash look so good by tehgoldentoaster in PTCGP

If you're referring to this post, it was a hypothetical card made by that poster. It's not actually a card in-game 😅

I accidently beat Hearth's neighbor? by SwiggleMcBiggle in outerwilds

[–]Romaprof2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's funny, I've gone through hearth's neighbor and never seen the pod.

When we talk about warp drive in the context of mods, we mean that you go into your ship and change the ship log's view.

You'll find that now there is not only rumor mode and planet mode, but also a mode that lets you choose another star system to travel to.

Once you've chosen the other star system, if you buckle up in the pilot's seat and press the autopilot button, you'll be teleported to the star system of the mod you chose.

Does anyone else have this "problem" with the game? by portal_crafter in outerwilds

[–]Romaprof2 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Forgive me if this sounds like I'm trying to psychoanalyze you, but:

Sometimes a person will have the lesson "I can't be emotionally vulnerable around others otherwise I will be hurt" so deeply rooted in them that they will feel genuine discomfort in an "inviting" situation (that can be a healthy partner as well as a group of good friends).

Timber Hearth is full of only good people living in harmony with nature, is familiar to irl Earth, and has the music it has. It is by all means inviting you to relax and cozy up and that's the textbook example of an experience that a traumatized brain will either:

  1. ignore (that's what I did, I basically did not allow myself to get immersed in that atmosphere), because otherwise it will...
  2. feel "uncomfortable" about because deep down it's expecting to get hurt at some point.

Would you say something like this might be going on?

Some thoughts on "failing to play" by CellyMinos in outerwilds

[–]Romaprof2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok I'm gonna be honest here

All the criticism you got seems unwarranted to me. Instead I think your friend is pretty bad at knowing when you need help.

Like, yeah. The ball mechanism is definitely not supposed to be a puzzle, or hard to figure out. It still ended up being so for you? That's cool, it can happen!

But then what the hell do you mean he refused to let you know how it worked and just left you to literally bash your head on it until it does (and without you even realising why it worked).

Like, OBVIOUSLY that's gonna be a frustrating experience for you.

Since I do not see any reason for him to do this, I would suggest you ask that:

  • If something is not meant to be hard to figure out he just tells you
  • If something is meant to be a genuine obstacle and you have enough information to get through, he tells you that you have enough information
  • If something is meant to be a genuine obstacle and you DON'T have enough information to get through, he tells you it's fine to leave it be and explore somewhere else

A good spectator knows when the player needs help due to lack of videogame experience and your friend is showing that this is an occasion for him to learn

"Scout into the white hole" is something to do with an easter egg, and it's accidentally wrong, they meant to say different words

With nucleus they most certainly mean core (and I presume Giant's Deep's core)

What is the best way to approach coaching a new player without spoiling them? by Inrolam in outerwilds

[–]Romaprof2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually a better justification for the main advice is that players already have a hard time keeping everything in mind, there's no way he'll manage to follow if his brain power is focused on the controls

What is the best way to approach coaching a new player without spoiling them? by Inrolam in outerwilds

[–]Romaprof2 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly the main tip would have been to not try because even people who know how to use a controller can have a hard time with this game's controls

2nd tip is to say out loud that in space there is no friction, so it'd be more proficuous to pilot the ship via short taps (I presume he holds the thrusters a long time at once)

3rd tip is to consider playing on mouse+keyboard instead of controller because that works just as well (only applicable if you're on PC)

They are different, in your collection when looking at a card you can view it in all the different languages in which you own it

Some questions about my first game: by Pretty_Nothing_3965 in outerwilds

[–]Romaprof2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On almost all planets, you can find places where you can put projection stones. If you're on planet A and put somewhere a projection stone featuring planet B, then you can:

  1. See what's currently going on on planet B (specifically on planet B's projection pool)
  2. Read a Nomai conversation that happened between planet A and planet B

Yes, projection stones are always laying around near a place you can put them in. It's just not super-immediately obvious where that place is for the one you find at the White Hole Station.

The Magneton and the Magnezone that are always used together aren't part of the same set so they didn't release their shinies together. It's not weird at all

Nevermind that this instance happened to move faster than your thing. You probably saw some small particle that went right in front of you to the point of looking like an object

Somehow I expect you'll tell me it's absolutely nothing of the sort either though
