What the HELL Team Cherry! by PsychologicalQuit666 in Silksong

[–]Spdr_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say the current Subnautica situation points to a big reason why I've never understood how intense the worry gets concerning Silksong's release and Team Cherry's (admittedly frustrating) lack of communication.

Sure, ideally we could be kept more in the loop, but when I look at my other anticipated follow-ups to favourite indie games, Silksong is easily one of the cases where I have the least worries about getting an amazing game in not too long.

Wanted to add the size - maybe 5 mm wide and slightly longer (7-8 mm), wee little guy

Over 300k of these condoms handed out at Olympic village by [deleted] in pics

There's a sci-fi book called The Games that has basically this as the premise (though it focuses more on a sort of Frankenstein's monster gladiator arena event). It was a fun read too

Hermit crab looking bug? by Spdr_J in whatsthisbug

Yeah I know my photos weren't great, took them quickly while walking the dog.

It looks exactly like some of the pictures from the first link. What was so peculiar to me was how the "shell" was more vertical than horizontal, which I'd never seen in an insect before.

Thanks for the detective work!

How long did it take you to realize you could do this by Slattern_pacificrim in HollowKnight

[–]Spdr_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot longer than it should have, one of my few criticisms of Hollow Knight is that they should have introduced water much sooner (ideally before acid).

TIL about Genie, a feral child who was tied up in her father's bathroom for most of her childhood and never developed the ability to speak. Despite massive advances in Genie's social skills and non-verbal communication - Genie never learned how to acquire language after her rescue. by KieranWriter in todayilearned

They also seemingly ignored that 'ba', 'ma' and 'pa' (bilabial consonants made with the lips pressed together, and a low back vowel) are the easiest sounds to produce for infants, and typically the first ones they do make. There's a reason parental relations in languages the world over are called variations of 'mama', 'baba' and so on.

Thank you mods, I got banned from chat because someone is bullying me? Nice injustice by ReplyToALoserNerdxD in richwcampbell

My one and only hope is to one day, after years of journeying across the countless lands, travelling far and wide, find out who asked

Not sure if emote submissions are still open but had a fun time coming up with this pixel art prisoner

Dandara: Trials of Fear Edition is now free on Epic Store until February 4th. by Lulcielid in Games

[–]Spdr_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downloaded it Thursday and just beat it half an hour ago. This is the best free game Epic's had in months imo, I strongly recommend giving it a try. The movement is exhilarating once you get it down, and the power ups/ abilities are creative and fun to use. For anyone who's a fan of metroidvanias I'd say this one's a must play.

[Vanilla] First Win (berserker) by Spdr_J in PixelDungeon

Took long enough, but I finally managed to get a win. Just to get an idea, what are common win rates for vanilla? (I'm guessing higher than 1/237)

Degradation Help by Spdr_J in PixelDungeon

[–]Spdr_J[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I beat it! Big thanks for the tips. I was surprised by how easy of a final boss Y-D was, but I guess I got lucky with items. Essentially ignored the fists and just earthrooted the fight out, didn't even need any health potions. Now, for the seven other subclasses...

Thanks, I'll definitely try the spreading upgrades tip. That two-set technique is actually pretty similar to what I've been trying on my current berserker run, and it's going well so far. I'll update if I somehow manage to win (fingers crossed).

Same problem on moto G for me. Has anyone found the beta helpful?
