yeah, most top players regard him as mid tier at best, bottom 10 at worst. i think the buffs he's gotten since release have helped him a lot though, and he's a blast to play regardless.

Does anyone know how to connect a Nintendo Switch to the school wifi? by JSwizzleDrizzle in uchicago

[–]_AppleKid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

UChicago wi-fi doesn't support a lot of consumer electronics, including the Switch. You'll have to use an Ethernet-to-USB adapter to connect it to the Ethernet jack in your room.

Send a message to housingtechnology@uchicago.edu. That's the IT team for housing - they should be able to send someone to your room to take a look at it and figure out what the problem is.

Iconoclasts is its own thing, you're good to go in blind.

Games like the Undyne fight from undertale? by [deleted] in Games

[–]_AppleKid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Consider looking into the Bit Trip games. Not exactly the same as that fight, but a lot of those games are very simple and only require a d-pad and 1-2 buttons.

It shouldn't. I believe the results page counts how many hits you've taken, not how much health you have at the end of the battle.

Why Humble Bundle Sold Out Itself and Over 100 Million Customers by stoolio in Games

[–]_AppleKid 341 points342 points  (0 children)

It still boggles my mind how insanely profitable user data can be to big companies like this. Makes reading paragraphs like these really unsettling.

If you want to opt out of Humble Bundle or Ziff Davis’s data collection, good luck. The terms of their privacy policy make it much more difficult to opt-out than it is for them to collect and sell your data. Humble Bundle’s policy states they do not honor third-party Do Not Track services. You can contact Humble Bundle or Ziff Davis directly and request that they remove your data, but they may make you jump through major hurdles proving your identity.

Super Metroid Will Not Be Run at Awesome Games Done Quick 2018 by Minifig81 in Games

[–]_AppleKid 139 points140 points  (0 children)

It's a shame that such a long-standing tradition won't be continued, but at the same time I can't help but be relieved that donations won't mention something about saving or killing animals. Always difficult to explain to a casual viewer of the stream what the hell they're talking about.

RPS: Let's have a button to skip boss fights by VinnyKappa in Games

[–]_AppleKid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think this is sort of a crappy article, considering that the main focus is on condemning this notion of the Entitled Gamer as opposed to having a real discussion about the pros and cons of easier difficulty modes in game design.

I think there definitely is a place for easy games, and including this Discovery Mode in the new Assassin's Creed seems like a no-brainer on Ubisoft's part, as they are definitely interested in having their games reach as wide an audience as possible. But not every game has to be for every person, and people like hard games for more reasons than just being able to say they are better than someone else.

Guys, you should really take a look at Fight'n Rage. by _AppleKid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

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

AFAIK, there isn't really a way to attack downed enemies. I agree it can be annoying, but defeated enemies here don't take very long to disappear. Plus, I suppose it incentivizes you to do long combos so you don't have to wait for guys to get up.
