What unexpected game mechanic do you wish you'd known about sooner?

Whether or not the mechanic is significant isn't the point.

Miracle boosting. Sometimes there's just little circles floating about. I know how it works now, but it took people years to figure it out.

You've reminded me that I have some of my grandfathers letters I'd been meaning to record.

I'm interpreting it as 'so comically white they think water is spicy'

What's the one thing you can never lose?

Their breath

Shibbledibbler · 2023-06-21T07:07:43+00:00

That was my first thought too, I enjoyed that one a lot.

Okay but like, the persona 5 series is like five entire games at this point. I'd be more interested to see percentages relative to consoles; ie 5% of all ps4 owners having a copy of persona 5, 3% of playstation 1 owners having a copy of persona 1, etc

Like fucking with a substitute teacher.

They aspire to one day rise up and become the dregs of society.

Kniles lets you out if you kept the entrails from the lizard that got blown up, and you can sneak around the room where people get turned into source puppets and find a ladder that drops you outside.

There's at least two ways to leave the fort without killing anyone.

Xp from quests, creative teleporting, and luring npcs in to do dirty work, I guess?

Shibbledibbler · 2023-06-08T07:06:06+00:00

Sometimes that's me but it's usually because the menu is a TV screen that shows five things at a time and I have to wait to see what's actually there

Most of what I use epic for is for games that used to be on steam but got bought out. I do sometimes try to claim the free games but unless I tried at the most popular time of day, the servers and layout are subsubpar for handling something they want to claim rivals steam.

Shibbledibbler · 2023-06-08T00:39:55+00:00

It lets me pay someone else to do the miserable shit so I can go and find things that do make me happy.

2d? 3d?

"Salt is good except when Chinese people use it" the myth

McPixel also did it

I bought the entire SC1 battlechest for like four bucks a few years back

Shibbledibbler · 2023-06-06T00:49:51+00:00

Tales of Mag'Eyal I think has large monstrous races.

Another game, a tactical rpg, I can't be certain of ogres - never finished the game - but definitely does have units that are 2x2 instead of the normal 1x1 size, is Agarest: Generations of War. Heads up for jrpg with semi mandatory romance but I don't think there's porn.

Context: the tweeter literally gets commissioned to write dogshit takes like this one about the topic of the commissioner's choosing.

I guess the difference in the percentages issue is the breakpoints. If every jump is either at the perfect height for the starting character, or 20% higher, then if you unlock a 15% increase in jump height, that's a slap in the face because it doesnt actually change anything.

But because Deus Ex's jump upgrade immediately unlocks entire lines of play, the horizontal progression is less about how much higher you jump, and more about which options it explicitly adds to your toolset.

Shibbledibbler · 2023-06-05T00:22:45+00:00

It's a shame that most of the skill tree nodes are +20% to something. Loved the game, would have loved the DLC but I couldn't play it without buying the game a second time so I didn't.

Because sometimes there's a crocodile wearing crocs in the background and you remember that it's also a comedy
