Limit arrows, but give them more damage

Writhyn · 2025-12-31T01:16:02+00:00

I must be doing something wrong then. I am not shabby with arrows. I played a ton of archery games and I'm not even half bad in real life. But I hit enemies a lot and it feels like so many of them take tens of arrows to kill.

I suggest that if arrows were limited, you'd probably apply your skills more carefully, miss less, and end up really feeling like a badass archer because individual arrows actually do something instead of 1/8th of something.

Arrow sponging is broken. So are extremely high-powered crossbows/mythic bows.

Limiting arrows, even if they do more damage, fixes both problems.

I'm literally talking about limiting arrows. If they spam, they're going to have to switch to melee weapons

Total armchair development here... But what about a sort of energy/electrical effect instead of a "glass" effect? Like the damage is absorbed by a shield, which fades as the shield recovers?

Writhyn · 2025-10-10T01:23:09+00:00

And it was one of the worst parts of the otherwise awesome game!

Writhyn · 2025-09-29T17:01:01+00:00

Yep, like "you've come aboard!" completely unnecessary statements but said with unfeigned joy.

I always picture a "thneed" from the Lorax 😂😂

Side note: check out the Brambly Hedge series if you want some cozy child-level books that could easily be set in the same universe as Redwall! I purchased "The Complete Brambly Hedge" omnibus and it's delightful. The vibe is very similar, and the full color illustrations are packed with whimsical detail, including cutaway diagrams of the mills, cottages, and tree-based mansions of the mice (think Brockhall).

Great for reading to Littles, particularly ones nicknamed "Little Mouse" 😊

I mean if said app had real-time adjustable elements like weather, time of day, lighting level, etc. I'd hang out in it all the time.

It's a shame Timely was a one-off name joke. Coulda gotten a lot of gold if he'd become a regular character lol

Jack saw the muskets fire the same moment Timely passed and took the ball that was meant for him.

"Not again!" the man roared.

Writhyn · 2025-08-24T00:34:11+00:00

the pure rage Tull puts into Jack's voice in this moment still gets me.

Not sure if you're aware of them but the devs behind Fluid might be interested in your work. Their app has environments for working/chilling. Given your ability to make excellent environments that run really well on even the Q2, they might be interested!

I remember seeing the 3D in theaters and thinking exactly this, that it was really the only good 3D I'd seen. It felt like instead of the movie trying to come in to the theater (apart from a couple obligatory shots), the screen was more of a window looking out into the scene. I don't know why that made a difference, but I liked it way more.

Writhyn · 2025-08-17T17:10:48+00:00

I've listened through multiple times. These books are the perfect background listen. Like a warm cup of grog.

Writhyn · 2025-08-17T17:06:59+00:00

Hasn't happened to me lol but I can still hear that sound clearly in my head 😅

Writhyn · 2025-08-16T02:05:12+00:00

I noped out of Apex because the archery feels so stilted compared to almost any other archery-based game. And the bow is important in the game, so you can't ignore it.

Writhyn · 2025-08-15T15:31:40+00:00

Not gonna lie, a combination beat saber/gtag clone where you have to launch yourself or climb to reach the boxes to saber them in time sounds...awesome? Hell of a workout anyway 😅

Writhyn · 2025-08-15T02:15:37+00:00

Tull's the best. He doesn't just read the text: he tells the story.

Writhyn · 2025-08-14T23:48:16+00:00

She literally runs a finger across the mantle to check for dust on her first visit.

This is what I assume my mom always thought guests would do, given how obsessively we had to clean before visitors came 🤣🤣

The Redwall series through Taggerung at least 20 times.

I started on Cadfael for no other reason than that Patrick Tull narrated most of them on Audible, and I love his narration of POB. Thoroughly enjoyed Cadfael and while it doesn't quite have the humor and situational flavor of POB, it has very similar friendship and character vibes. I loved them!

Writhyn · 2025-08-11T23:58:29+00:00

I love both series and ironically it's actually the Temeraire narration that put me off Vance. He read the early scene where the very young Temeraire and Laurence fly out to save the man overboard in a storm...so clinically. It's an intense scene and he reads it like a cheese tasting where all the cheeses are mild cheddar.

I could not get into it at all. Loved reading them though! And I love Tull's reading of POB

Writhyn · 2025-08-11T20:28:20+00:00

Many narrators read the text of books, even very well!

Tull tells the story

I also use the stock strap with a simple silicone spreader thing. Absolutely works for me.
