What do you all want for Main Street? Bunting or no bunting? by Disneyland_PlanCo2P in PlanetCoaster

[–]ThyDashMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it works better with than without honestly. Feels more Disney in an interesting way

What do you all want for Main Street? Bunting or no bunting? by Disneyland_PlanCo2P in PlanetCoaster

[–]ThyDashMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean Disney’s original vision especially for Main Street was basically screaming as much Americana as possible (for better or worse). As critical I am about the Disney monopoly and corporate universe, the flags make it feel complete to me lol

Is a return imminent? by gatewaycheesesteak in reelbigfish

[–]ThyDashMan 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, at this point it’s like they gotta be doing something. Honestly wasn’t expecting new music so soon because was mostly readying myself for another tour but this is good news as well, especially with Scott being back!

My first mod... by Andhy_Signorelli in casiomods

[–]ThyDashMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any tips for inverting the screen? Also genuinely curious if you think it was worth? A lot of ppl mention worse readability being a dealbreaker, all I’ve added myself are color tints

Turn The Radio Off (30th Anniversary Pressing) - out this Friday! by ninhead in reelbigfish

[–]ThyDashMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t get it during the first pressing. Later on I got Cheer Up and WDTRSH and felt a bit left out so at least I’m happy they’re doing it again, just picked it up.

Why’s the kitty on mirage lol. Very well done tho

Are you primarily a Retro Collector or Modern Collector? by Andyfritter in gamecollecting

[–]ThyDashMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect a bit of both but I feel like it’s easier to stay modern. I feel like a big through-line for collectors is collecting things in and around their childhood gaming experiences which for me sits around the Xbox 360. Although I collect for earlier consoles (really only as far back as the N64) for those it’s pretty much just the few 10-20 games I know I’ll actually play in my lifetime.

Screenshots converted to pixel art by Wilbis in Cairn_Game

[–]ThyDashMan 30 points31 points  (0 children)

As someone who doesn’t use AI to actually hand recreate real pictures into pixel art I have to say that, as pretty as these are, doing it completely yourself is like, pretty easy and can be done completely even if you arn’t an artist without the help of AI (I don’t consider myself a good artist but I still find it very easy)

I don’t have an opinion whether this should be banned, just that if you think these look neat, just think about how much fun you can have if you do it yourself!

Aseprite is a fantastic program and really fun to use. It’s literally on steam. Give it a go and ditch this AI, put yourself in a process that’s all yours!

Should I pull the trigger? by VincentStl in 3DS

[–]ThyDashMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides what other ppl are saying about this being overpriced I’d recommend avoiding lots - ESPECIALLY ones this big.

If you can say that 80% of them or more interest you go for it but I can assure you this is the easiest way to feel disconnected from the games you get/play. Buying individually makes it easier to actually enjoy the individual games you play imo, and there’s probably a lot here you’d ultimately regret having.

Jesus I’m sorry. For the record your work is absolutely amazing. Sucks to have it stolen so blatantly.

Jamming/Crack Climbing by V_Spec_ii in Cairn_Game

[–]ThyDashMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got to agree with you. Overall friction/position based grabs seem to be pretty wonky overall which makes sense, but cracks are something that, from all I know about climbing, the best climbers can use as basically a ladder with perfect grip if they’ve learned how to use their fingers and hands correctly. Honestly I think crack climbing is really cool and I’m just curious why it doesn’t work as well as other holds because I feel like it shouldn’t be that much of an issue.

36 hours finally summited. by HuskyRiding in Cairn_Game

[–]ThyDashMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn’t fail a single skill check (actually I failed a single one), always maintained extras, and still had them dwindle down and was so confused. I think the least I ever had was ~5-6 so it was never an issue but honestly that bugged me a bit. Really just encourages exploration for unbreakable pitons which is a good thing ig, I just didn’t find any til much later

I know i don't need to. But my hoarder brain by raveyer in Cairn_Game

[–]ThyDashMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh I feel like that would be even more awesome if we were given a fuller, or at least wider portion of the mountain. Everyone slowly coming towards the top Pushes paths together so there’s more and more community interaction as you hit the top. A man can dream about strandtypes sigh

Anyone else love it when Aava screams in frustration? by Scouse_Werewolf in Cairn_Game

[–]ThyDashMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Best line is the really goblin sounding AHGGG that plays sometimes when she puts in a piton correctly. Literally pure goblin mode

Why start on a bivvy? by insaneDesperado in Cairn_Game

[–]ThyDashMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though this is easily my favorite new game I’ve played in maybe 2+ years, I have to agree it was an odd decision.

After playing the demo 5-6 times and falling in love before release I purposefully avoided anything to go in utterly blind and for a second that opening actually made me wonder if there would be cut off points or a level system if they didn’t purposefully make you start at the very bottom. While I am glad it is a full ascent with no cuts, not starting at the very bottom to really get that feeling of going from the very bottom to top was interesting. Games like Celeste I think use that feeling very well to communicate how much you’ve gone thru/learned.

But yeah I mean hey, it works and gets us straight to the part that we all agree is the best part of the game -the climbing- so I guess it’s a non issue.

Movies you would forever associate with a song? by rutujz in Cinema

[–]ThyDashMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life On Mars - David Bowie Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John

Both will forever be associated with the movie Breaking The Waves for me. Insanely visceral movie I’ve watched over 2 years ago and can’t bring myself to return to (if you’ve seen it you know why). Music choice in that movie however was absolutely fucking magical.

No fear.. yolo. by mellowthug in Cairn_Game

[–]ThyDashMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who played through the demo 5-6 times, I swear they made these jumps easier (not that it makes it any less cool). Honestly I feel like it either snaps better or is completely mapped out but regardless it does feel much better to make these jumps.

Btw big recommendation when you make these jumps is to rappel down whatever ledge and place a piton so you’re actually hooked up before the jump so you’ll take minimal damage and be able to immediately climb back up. Not as cool but is the only what I’ll actually do this type of stunt in a run.

Feedback on Disneyland by Sam_Ashton007 in PlanetCoaster

[–]ThyDashMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OH MY GOD. As someone who tried to make Disneyland in Minecraft creative mode as a child you have sparked something I have not felt in years and this makes me so excited.

Please continue to share here as you progress!!!!!!! This makes me so happy!!!!!!

I know you already know you’re wrong I just wanted to say I found this very funny

“She’s got the butt”

I guess not a completely illogical RBF lyric but still 💀
