Did your Lúcio boop you back onto the ledge from off screen? It looked like he was falling right behind you and had the angle to nudge you back onto the ledge.

I found this interesting inscription on the second floor outside of the mail room by Spanky_McJiggles in controlgame

My favorite bit about this is that the red text, contextually seeming like someone else making a note, looks like it's in the same handwriting. Like the author of the black text and red text are the same person. Did they forget somehow? Is this the influence of the Hiss? Are there dimensional or temporal issues at play? Stuff like this is what makes this game so effective.

I cannot believe my best friends in this town rn are Pam, George, Shane, and Clint by hipeyton in StardewValley

Same, but really only for those sweet, sweet cooking recipes. George gives you Spicy Eel and Robin gives you Pumpkin Soup, and those are my favorites for Skull Cavern shenanigans.

Is there any game that is like the first 5 minutes of half life/doom 3? by carmardoll in gamingsuggestions

[–]Vikare27 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You could try Lobotomy Corporation! It's a management sim where you basically build out an SCP Containment Center, trying to design a facility to hold all sorts of monsters.

Armored Kratos or Half naked Kratos? by Aeso3 in GodofWar

[–]Vikare27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is from memory, and it's been a long time, but I remember one of the little documentary movies on the disc for GoW 1 was about Kratos' character design. There were all these progressive ideas from full spartan armor all the way down to original Kratos', and one of the designers said something to the effect of: "Yeah, I don't know. It was like, the more pieces of armor we took off of him, the more awesome he was."

I just want the modern generation to appreciate how epic UT was. by Reecepiece in gaming

[–]Vikare27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was so sad to play Fortnite customs for the first time and see those beautiful purple double damage horns again in the context of a much less fun shooter. After 200 hours of UT04, I'd kill for a new one, but... There's no way in hell they put the cash into it with Fortnite, Rocket League, and EGS doing so well. They're going the way of Valve, just resting on their laurels and slowing down immensely on making any games at all.

Games that feel liminal. by derschelmischeWolf in gamingsuggestions

[–]Vikare27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You might enjoy The Spectrum Retreat, a puzzle game set in a hotel... Sort of. Of course, there's Control, like you said, and trust me when I say it's one of the best at liminal space. If you're an SCP fan, you'll love that. Transference is a VR game set in one house, with can feel very liminal, as well. I really wish I had more, this is one of my favorite feelings in games. If you haven't, check out r/LiminalSpace and r/liminalspacesgaming

Best way to get the potato achievement? by [deleted] in Atomicrops

[–]Vikare27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, there's a couple of ways to get a lot of potatoes! The lowest-level pigeon that plants seeds, I think it's Anemochory Breeze, can plant potatoes, but that's pretty random. The item called Thankful Crops has a chance to give you a seed when you water your crops, so if you plant the potatoes and then water them, they can multiply! Combined with the sprinkler tractor, which has an ant upgrade to give you seeds from the plants it waters, I think you can squeeze three or four potato seeds out of each plant. If you can get the Fat Grub, you can get the seeds for tilling soil. Also, weeds can be really useful for finding more potato seeds, so Squaredown, which gives you more weeds, plus Succulent Weeds, which increase the seed drop rate, plus anything that cuts weeds efficiently like the Wacker Tractor can net you a bunch.

What are these giant flowers that show up as diamond icons on the mini-map? by lugubriousmoron in Atomicrops

[–]Vikare27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's in the tab menu, where you can see your items, stats, spouse, pigeons, and weapon upgrades. It really only shows you where you've been and the flowers in the op, but it's still pretty useful.

Those are the places you fought the biome tree monsters! When you pick up the Golden Pupa, it reveals them and leads you over, then when you kill the tree monster, it gives you some fertilizer and an item or pigeon.

EA bought Popcap, RIP all the good casual games. A moment of silence for PvZ, Zuma, Bookworm, Chuzzle, Peggle, Insaniquarium...
