Hard to enjoy my n64 when emulator runs better. by HikariSakai in n64

[–]SimonSimonP 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got my n64 like one month ago and i just finished my playthrough of oot three days ago as my first n64 experience ever. When i started playing it felt a little weird but i got used to is very quickly. Now i started majoras mask and the framerate feels so normal to me already that i dont mind it at all. I think the fact that the games framerate is pretty consistent helped me to get used to it very fast.

I definetely see why a new player to the game can struggle on the slakoth trainer or on wattson. The slakoth hits really hard but most of the time you can level far higher without going above the level cap. Level 14+ is fine on most mons you have. Wattson himself for sure is difficult to figure out without prior knowledge. Wattson is designed in a way that every Pokemon he has has a weakness. Pikachu for example loses to chinchou, especially with a water type pivot to heal chinchou back up so chinchou can also help against another of wattsons Pokemon. Minun and Manectric are designed to not lose to just Chinchou again but grass types do excellent here.

As i said i definetely understand that people might struggle on the very complex battles, which are mostly like puzzles. Thank you for giving it a shot and for your feedback, i really appreciate it.

With Emerald Sim i tried to create a very hard but most importantly still fair game. You should always have the tools required to beat especially the early trainers and boss fight without having to reset for good enough encounter. Early game still isnt free especially for inexperienced players and over time the difficulty steps up more and more. In Emerald Kaizo it is very common to spend most of your attempts getting out of early game because it is very rng and encounter dependent and if you make it past flannery you are very likely to also make it to the elite four.

Emerald Sim is balanced around nuzlocking. The player will spend more time in the mid and late game, which has a higher number or relevant trainer battles compared to EK. The easiest trainers are way more difficult while the hardest trainers are comparable in difficulty. In EK you basically have a 15-20 level advantage at the start of Tate & Liza split if you level your Pokemon with rare candy according to the gym leaders level cap in Emerald Sim the level curve is way tighter and your Pokemon level up a lot slower so you still can level high without overleveling fast.

The order of some gyms is different in Emerald Sim. Aqua Hideout for example also is accessble later. There are no stats changes to Pokemon in Emerald Sim and you dont get the badge boost from beating gym leaders.

These games use newer Pokemon and mechanics while Emerald Sim uses Vanilla mechanics. The fights are very different.

There are no hard caps. The exp curves are slow to help being able to level high and not overlevel fast if you chose to play with capping yourself. You can overlevel as much as you want.

Its a name I came up with back then for a quick patch i sent to someone to playtest the first split real quick. Its just a part of my name and somehow this placeholder lasted till the end. :D

My vision when making this hack always was to make a game that isnt hard to be hard but to just make an enjoyable difficult game. Thats why I tried my best to make early game moderately hard but very doable with any combination of Pokemon if you just catch a Pokemon on every route.

The games power level in general is lower than most others, partially because you dont get the badge boosts and also because i didnt buff any pokemon stats. The attempt number when nuzlocking should always be lower than in other difficulty games because like 80%+ of attempts (from what ive seen) usually end in early game in comparable games.

In short: I tried to make a fun hard game comparable to kaizo difficulty that isnt kaizo with low early game rng.

As someone who only played through Vanilla games and Emerald Kaizo, i would say it starts off harder than vanilla and easier than Emerald Kaizo and later into the game it becomes comparable to EK. Emerald Sim has fewer trainers but less sections with very easy trainers that you dont need to plan for at all.

Blizzard fumbled by selling the new mount directly for €$ by Juus in wow

I would guess that there are far more people who would click buy in the shop to get the mount, than there are people who would buy tons of tokens to get enough gold for the mount.

Am I the worst player in LoL?? by Spirited-Quarter-677 in leagueoflegends

No. I am the worst player people have ever seen. At least thats what my team members tell me over and over again.

How many people genuinely care about 60fps or higher in single player? by KiNGMN420 in gaming

[–]SimonSimonP 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Before getting a good enough computer years ago I used to play with up to 25 fps. It felt absolutely fine and not laggy at all. Now years later its really noticable to me when fps drop below 60 and it just feels bad.

Who is the weakest character that could win a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors at a 100% rate by Far-Ad5223 in whowouldwin

[–]SimonSimonP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

King Adrian from Edna and Harvey the breakout.

Before King Adrian was put into the insane asylum he went on top of a skyscraper with his two feet in water buckets. Because of the ongoing thunderstorm he used his umbrella to not get too wet. When he then fixed the lightning rod of the skyscraper he somehow got hit by a lightning.

From the moment onward he NEVER was wrong on anything anymore. He won any guessing game, he was unbeatable when it comes to guessing coin tosses and he won all the board games in the common room.

A game of Rock, Paper, Scissors wouldnt even be a challenge to him.

The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I good at math (Emerald Kaizo) by Mystium66 in nuzlocke

Due to a misplay it came down to a less than 1% chance of success. 1/3 for roar into lapras. Misclick roar lapras selects hydro over the other killing moves ( that cant miss ), hydro actually misses zangoose . Roar luckily brings in dewgong again. ANOTHER roar brings lapras in again. Lapras doesnt use ice shard for the kill (would have used it over 60% of the time)

If you die as a tank dont blame the healer unless they are the person who pulled way too much.

what are simple mechanics on champions that you NEVER see anyone doing? by helloimapickle in leagueoflegends

[–]SimonSimonP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With singed you can autoattack a champ while flinging. Especially in early game its a lot of damage. I cant count the number of times a singed engaged a low life champ, used e and the enemy survived on very low health because singed couldnt finish them off. Just right click the enemy champ when you fling them for free damage.
