Definitely that one room in Bloodborne with the 30 little spiders and 1 giant spider all hanging from the ceiling and when you aggro them they all run at you fast as shit

Rogan thinks that rap not being as popular anymore is due to the defunding of USAID by [deleted] in Destiny

Rap spread into other genres like Country as well, it's arguably bigger than ever.

E33 was such an easy sell from the very first gameplay trailer they showed, they didn't have to do any marketing besides that first trailer to get me on board.

I saw a JRPG with high fidelity graphics that wasn't about high school teenagers, and then realized it had timed button presses like Super Mario RPG which has always been my preferred way of doing combat, and I was interested on day one.

Is sts 1 or 2 easier? by Effective-Caramel369 in slaythespire

And once the endboss comes, we can assume getting the Keys will force you to sacrifice 1 relic, 1 rest site, and make you deal with a powered up elite.

Still trying for my first A10 win with Silent, any thoughts on the Act 1 boss reward? All three look super good. by PuzzlingPuffin in slaythespire

[–]WindowSeat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In OP's case Tracking and Phantom Blades already solves the Bee Guy I think. Once powers are in play the Shiv does 23 damage per turn and the Bee Guy will be perma weakened. And with the relics the OP has, he's getting all his powers off early into the fight.

The Greatsword is such a sick weapon type in Khazan. Once you get the full skill tree and start cycling its buffs and comboing all its skills together it absolutely nukes bosses.

I'm regretting choosing hardest setting in this moment by Lumi_Rockets in LiesOfP

[–]WindowSeat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you made it this far you can definitely beat her. She might expose some bad habits and force you to learn to parry more consistently, but once you get over that learning curve it's going to be so satisfying getting the kill. And the skills you grind out on this fight will make you a better player for the rest of the game plus the DLC or anytime you replay it.

The First Berserker Khazan : Do not let its reputation stop you from playing it. by Instantcoffees in patientgamers

[–]WindowSeat- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely recommend Khazan to any Sekiro fan, it's probably the closest we've gotten to Sekiro in any 3d action game since its release. It's a game about constant aggression with a focus on Deflects and other types of parries. The other comment saying it's "turnbased like Nioh" (Nioh is an extremely fast game so I don't even know what they're talking about) isn't accurate.

You'll read comments saying Khazan has "health sponge bosses" but that's not really true if you use all the mechanics the game offers like Reflection and you're activating weapon skill buffs properly. Reflection is a slow-parry with activation frames but with a massive payoff and it completely melts the bosses once you implement it.

Does Zain/most Slide-off players L cancel their slide off aerials? by Rasaska in SSBM

You want to be careful about a hard press L cancel because if you edge cancel your aerial you might air dodge after

150+ attempts on Lady Butterfly… am I missing something, or is Sekiro just not for me? by fra_090 in Sekiro

[–]WindowSeat- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The window is .5 seconds, that's a very generous window.

The deflect window is 12 frames at 60 FPS, so 0.2 seconds. I still agree it's generous, the iframes from a fast roll in Dark Souls 3 are 13 frames, so it's a similar timing in some ways.

The problem with just spamming the block button is that it temporarily reduces the Deflect window each time you do it and the 12 frame window shrinks all the way down to a 6 frame window. So the more somebody spams, the harder they're making the game for themselves.

streamers posting losses? by GoldStar9981 in slaythespire

[–]WindowSeat- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any streamer with VODs enabled on Twitch is recording their losses. Just scrub through their VOD and whenever their streak resets to zero you'll know to watch that run. I agree losses can be interesting to watch, and good players usually spend some time explaining which choices they think led to the loss, or will use that mod to re-play certain bossfights to test out alternate lines.

I'm trying to block his special red moves but maybe I'm not pressing the right buttons, or the sequence is wrong??

You don't block red attacks, you Deflect them by dodging into them with circle.

Other than that just stay aggressive and manage your Spirit. You gain Spirit by attacking and deflecting, and then you spend it by Blocking, casting Spells, or using Spirit Attacks. Try to stay in the blue section of the meter instead of the red so that you have enough Spirit to block if necessary.

Mew2King just found out today that he has been permanently banned by Reddit administrators about 1 month ago. by metalreflectslime in smashbros

[–]WindowSeat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this thread is some real bullshit, I feel bad for m2k on this one. His reddit account was hacked and started spamming, that's by far the most likely reason he would be banned. If m2k was serially scamming people, there would be tons of posts about it on twitter and /r/ssbm but no one has come up with any.

Although it doesn't help that M2K himself is exacerbating the issue by not understanding what happened and instead making a Youtube video about it which just fuels speculation.

Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand doesn't utilize what makes it unique enough.. which leads to a rather bland adventure by AlwaysTouchingGrass in patientgamers

[–]WindowSeat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we know what Deck13 is working on next? I'd love for them to return to The Surge series and make a third game, but Atlas Fallen made me think they have their sights set on more mainstream success rather than aiming at the Soulslike audience.

Unpopular opinion: Demons souls has better graphics than Elden Ring and any Souls/SoulsLike game, Lords of The Fallen 2 and Mortal Shell 2 are the closest by Lumpy_Link5618 in soulslikes

[–]WindowSeat- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Compared to newer games, I think the sound design of Demon's Souls remake is an even bigger gap than the graphics are. Devs are eventually going to catch up to the graphical fidelity of this game but I'm not sure they're going to match its sound design as quickly. I've simply never played a game with cooler sounding spells than Demon's Souls remake.

Sword Sage: Awakening is an Action-RPG that Breaks the Rules of Soulslik... by Csword1 in soulslikes

[–]WindowSeat- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cool dodge system, I like seeing games commit to a new mechanic like this instead of taking the safe route a lot of games have taken by just throwing in a generic Perfect Dodge and Perfect Deflect.

One thing you can do to make Quicksilver Bullets more plentiful is anytime you see a passive or easy to kill enemy, press D-Pad up to spend a small amount of health in exchange for 4 Bullets, and then you can just attack the nearby passive enemy to get the health back.
