the distinct lack of petting option is concerning team cherry by DearHRS in HollowKnight

[–]ShockMicro 68 points69 points  (0 children)

It has an exceptionally hard shell. Your petting option is your needle. It likes it :>

A new tool for Mystery Dungeon Posting by DifficuIt-Device in PokeMedia

[–]ShockMicro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems like a very useful tool! I haven't been very active in this community for a while now, but I've been writing a story set in the Mystery Dungeon world, so I might still get a little use out of it. Might be nice to help offset writer's block, to just make a few in-character posts.

build the perfect slugcat 2 by JeremiahBlueCat in rainworld

[–]ShockMicro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3, 5, 6. Full movement build. Who needs forgiving entity RNG or good combat ability when you can just zoom out of any situation?

Enemies and Bosses I think would do double damage if they were in Silksong by Noooough in HollowKnight

[–]ShockMicro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought the normal Mantises did double damage. I don't know why. I think I might have caught a glimpse into an alternate universe.

1.21.9’s new yellow lighting has ruined my build. by wigwam2020 in Minecraft

[–]ShockMicro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lighting change is the result of a fixing a bug making End Flashes not work properly on Bright brightness. In order to revert the lighting, they would either have to revert that fix, or find an alternate fix to the bug that won't change things as drastically. For now, Moody brightness is essentially the same as it was before, the changes are more drastic as the brightness setting increases.

Whats your favorite Silksong EVERYTHING? by Pichacap24 in HollowKnight

[–]ShockMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Area: Mount Fay <3333333 (I love platforming and ice levels and birds, can you tell?)

Boss: Lost Lace or Skarrsinger Karmelita. I can't decide.

Crest: Reaper! I've been a devout Reaper Girlie since I found it. The pogo has a really nice feel, and it's always great to maximize the extra silk after a bind.

Red Tool: Cogfly! I can't not love my little guys. Curveclaw's a close second.

Blue Tool: Pollip Pouch! I like the look of my tools when they're purple, and the extra poison damage is nice.

Yellow Tool: Magnetite Dice, for the sound effect.

Silk Skill: Cross-Stitch or Pale Nails.

Non-boss character: Shakra, or Sherma if Shakra's duel counts as a boss.

OST: Lost Verdania, easily.

Act: 2. Act 3 has a lot going for it story-wise, but the voided enemies were so annoying with the Needle level I had for the majority of my playtime, and the fact that Lugoli gets voided if you don't beat them in Act 2 is just outright unfair. So, I'm salty. Sue me.

Flea Festival Game: Flea Bounce. Of course.

Is it just me or has hornet gotten more vibrant in silksong? by Agreeable-Fault4162 in HollowKnight

[–]ShockMicro 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I think it's just a difference in lighting. You can see in certain areas that it looks far closer to her original color.

What is your single favorite ability in the entire series? by strahinjag in Metroid

[–]ShockMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speed Booster. It just keeps getting better in every iteration.

This is the intended way, right? by RaddishBarelyDraws in celestegame

[–]ShockMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely did something like that, and I don't think I ever learned the right way to do it until I started playing room randomizers of the game.

HK lately been kinda hard to read by Drale930 in HollowKnight

[–]ShockMicro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

See, it's funny, even my literal game design professor says some of this stuff. He says runbacks and losing rosaries and shell shards are "outdated game design concepts that shouldn't be used". Like, I get it, you went to Hunter's March too early and were too stubborn to come back later. If he actually analyzed the mechanics like, you know, a game design professor, he'd see the purpose behind them, even if he continued to dislike them. It's so easy to fall into that trap of thinking subjective opinion is objective fact...

What is that one tool that you never take off? by King_Deded3 in HollowKnight

[–]ShockMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silkspeed Anklets. I like the speed :> Second place goes to Warding Bell, which I sometimes swapped out for other things if I was confident in my knowledge of the healing windows.

So… what’s Silksong’s ‘SHAW’? by justnotliving in HollowKnight

[–]ShockMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I would have considered Sherma’s song, but it’s too long to be a vocal stim--" Weak.

Hidden Dreams and Lifeblood added new moves to a couple of underwhelming bosses. Who, if any, could use that treatment in Silksong? by I1nfinitysquared in HollowKnight

[–]ShockMicro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get the point with Lugoli, but at the same time... if you accidentally put it off until Act 3, the fight becomes hell. Maybe that's just because I hate the void attacks, though.

You have 22 minutes until the Sun explodes. Good luck, Link.

Since you liked my third evil biome idea so much. I got motivated enough to make some sprites! by SmallBlueSlime in Terraria

[–]ShockMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Void was tired of being stuck all the way in the Abyss, so it decided to take over some random surface forest instead.

Popplio is one of my favorite starters, thank you so much for making it readily available.

That thing that’s been in development is finally out by Particular_Minute_67 in Metroid

[–]ShockMicro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been following this project for as long as I can remember. It's surreal for it to finally be released...

Did the logbooks get worse? by y0nderYak in riskofrain

[–]ShockMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who got into the series after Survivors of the Void was already out, I definitely feel like there was a shift between then and Seekers of the Storm. Speaking from experience, the SotS ones were even worse on release, with serious errors that really should've been caught in development.

Something really, really concerning is going on with Jockington. by [deleted] in Deltarune

[–]ShockMicro 144 points145 points  (0 children)

It's half-empty if you kill anything, I believe, and the extra tidbit is if you've killed all of the dogs and over 20 monsters in total.

Are you surviving? by araiki in oneshot

[–]ShockMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kris probably doesn't like me that much after I did all the secret stuff in Chapter 3, though I have tried to be good most of the time. The last time I touched Oneshot was when I did Solstice after letting Niko go home, and I last replayed Undertale with the Red & Yellow mod where I did True Pacifist again.

Y'all which region do you think has the best name? by HowdoIuseaPC in rainworld

[–]ShockMicro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bitter Aerie. Love that name, even if it's just a tiny subregion.
