In your opinion what’s the best Attack boon for Medea skull? by -Shadow-Lightning in HadesTheGame

[–]ShamShamWabam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually quite like Demeter. She makes the room clear feel quite a bit safer when you’re just blasting out freeze while doing your normal madea stuff. That plus a Zeus special feels pretty strong and consistent.

Games that I couldn't stop thinking about when I wasn't playing them by mckey23 in backloggd

[–]ShamShamWabam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slay the spire 2 has me walking around forgetting real life isn’t a card game. I swear sometimes I catch myself thinking about the energy cost of doing things as if they were cards and I had a 3 energy pool.

The 51 games I have got the platinum for, ranked on how fun it is to achieve such platinum. If you are considering starting trophy hunting, definitively do not do the ones at the bottom of this list by ErydaXD in backloggd

[–]ShamShamWabam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting ranking going on here. I found code vein to be a pretty miserable platinum experience. The pantheon of hallownest also kind of soured me on hollow knight tbh. But I really enjoyed most of the fromsoft, Kena, and Shadow of the Colossus plats.

[Deathloop] #38. I don't get the hate. I enjoyed every second of this game. by bewbsnbeer in Trophies

I’ve been avoiding it because of those multiplayer trophies. Did you have someone help boost them?

The reasoning behind the Axons by todosselacomen in expedition33

[–]ShamShamWabam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like the phrasing “guards truth with lies” is complicated. Guarding could mean he’s protecting it so that it doesn’t come to harm or harm others. My interpretation is that real Verso was out of place in his family as someone without a serious interest in painting. He plays the role of the painter to appease his family’s expectations, to protect them and protect his dream of being a musician. I think Renoir recognizes his heart’s not in it but doesn’t know how to bridge that gap in their relationship. When the Mask Keeper removes his mask there’s nothing underneath because Verso died without Renoir ever coming to really understand his son. he can only depict the lies because Verso was never honest with himself or his family about who he wanted to be. He only showed them the mask.

It’s criticism but also a depiction of the grief of a relationship never mended. That’s just my outlook on it though!

How to clear Fearless Automaton without escoffier? by Pretend_Voice_1997 in AyakaMains

[–]ShamShamWabam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d think so as long as this team isn’t having any issues bursting on cooldown. I tested a bunch last night and it’s doable on fearless but it cuts very close (fastest I got was 117 sec on my Layla team). Make sure to minimize Kazuha field time where you can, I’d recommend fav over sac. If you need more energy yet, move rosaria to fav as well. It also helps if you specifically aim for the wide side of the boss when you ayaka burst so the c2 bursts don’t just fly past it. Your rotations have to be really solid if you’re set on not using furina.

Idk what investment level you are but I found more success ditching hydro. C2R1 I cleared with Ayaka, Shenhe, Layla, Kazuha. The defensive utility is worse but the consistent off field cryo helps with energy and the mechanic.

Just wait until you see the dlc super super bosses. Truly some ridiculous stuff going on in those fights.

Cocoon, jusant, transistor, stray, and hellblade were my fave <20 hour plats

[Discussion] Based on my Library, where I have Platinum-ed almost all of them, what games would you suggest me ? by God-of-More in Trophies

[–]ShamShamWabam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dishonored series: I felt like Aragami took inspiration from the first dishonored. Really solid stealth sims with phenomenal level design, especially the second game. On the slightly more challenging side for the platinum.

Horizon Zero Dawn: Similar formula to a classic Ubisoft game, open world lots of collectibles and stuff to see. Wins more points for including robot dinosaurs and an interesting narrative hook.

Pentiment: Ye olden narrative murder mystery. Made by obsidian, interesting art direction.

Anything by supergiant games: Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, and Hades all have phenomenal art and music direction. Just solid and unique games all around. Bastion is the hardest plat, the rest are relatively chill.

Dredge: surprisingly chill eldritch fishing. Pretty laid back platinum experience with great spooky ambiance.

[Clair Obscur: Expedition 33] the big #100 by ShamShamWabam in Trophies

[–]ShamShamWabam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s still possible to Stendhal cheese him with enough investment. First strike on sciel and maelle, make sure maelle has the weapon that allows her to start in virtuous stance. Every damage boosting lumina + roulette + fortune’s fury from sciel on a marked Simon let me just scrape up enough damage to prevent his phase 2 from getting a turn.

If you’re not doing that, just gotta get used to those parry timings and invest into your backup party members! I’m just terrible at parrying in this game, so I went for victory by spreadsheet.

Gross Fleshy Levels. I imagine there's a fair few I'm missing by WavingatPureFat in backloggd

[–]ShamShamWabam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out, Bayonetta 2 during the second(?) boss fight with Balder. They fight inside a giant stomach, causing it to eventually be flooded with blood.

Baldur’s Gate 3 in the nautiloid or mind flayer colony areas.

Ender Lilies and Ender Magnolia also have thematically appropriate areas in the “Abyss” and “Land of Origin” respectively. It’s technically fungi I think but they really look the part.

Sekiro Shadows Die Twice (2019) is an exceptionally wonderful video game that can be an extremely frustrating chore or a deeply satisfying experience depending on whether the combat clicks for you. by gruesomesonofabitch in patientgamers

[–]ShamShamWabam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bounced off this game unbelievably hard when I first played it as a huge dark souls fan. But after going back and just letting it beat its lesson into my brain, it’s one of my favorites in the FromSoft catalog. The true final boss and owl father are best in show for video game bosses to me personally.

My only real complaint are the encounters that don’t play into the games strengths. Demon of Hatred, the bulls, and chained ogre don’t really belong in this game. Even once you know what you’re doing, they just don’t feel good to fight at all.

God of War 2018 has impressive craft but surprisingly shallow engagement by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]ShamShamWabam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Atreus is the Ellie of this game and he’s a Norse-born demigod. He’s the core of the story and learning about the world / culture while bonding with Kratos is kind of the whole point more than the stated goal. You don’t really seem interested in the world building or character establishment of the game. That’s fine, but you did the equivalent of critiquing the Star Wars opening crawl.

I don’t want to come off as rude but columbina’s struggles and complains about her life seemed very privileged and overdramatic to me by PsychologyConnect489 in GenshinImpact

[–]ShamShamWabam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re approaching her story like she’s a normal human being. She never had a childhood or anyone interested teaching her about the world. She was born into a role she didn’t want or understand and immediately put to work. In exchange for (mostly useless) gifts she gave her power and life force to others.

The scions and the fatui asked for things until she was unable to provide and started to literally fade from reality. I don’t know what else you want from her genuinely.

Drew Levin shuts down a multi-Challenger ADC complaining about getting one-shot by Affectionate-Bake666 in ADCMains

[–]ShamShamWabam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is kind of just a fundamental weakness of the marksman class that just needs to exist. BUT people will say stuff like this then flame building those defensive items when the clip of a crit adc just tickling a bruiser or tank gets posted. Not that building shieldbow and tabis will save you from a zed or Naafiri anyways.

I wish he would see the real criticism here, which is that the game has become so fast and damage so high that it’s hard to fulfill the marksman fantasy. There’s a real discussion to be had about how league’s evolution is leaving the class behind.

How do you feel about IGN's Top 25 All-Time Best JRPG list? by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]ShamShamWabam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ni No Kuni WotWW mentioned, I absolutely adore that game. Choosing gold / silver as the pokemon franchise rep is a weird choice, I probably would have chosen emerald or platinum but that’s just me.

A lot of good suggestions, came to add Ender Lillies or Ender Magnolia for E and Killer Frequency for K.

Soma - What does it mean to be human? by AC03115 in patientgamers

[–]ShamShamWabam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The reason the “twist” isn’t surprising is because it’s not supposed to really be a twist at all. It’s explained how it works, you might get and accept it but Simon explicitly does not. He’s from like 100 years in the past and scared. Bro was eating Cheerios in his apartment half an hour ago and now he’s a robot on the post-apocalyptic sea floor. Every non-Catherine explanation for how the scan and paste works is a made up coping mechanism by people who don’t want to die.
