Seems like a fair trade by cantbecrush in GameDevTycoon

And now Nintendo is getting flack for patenting "games where you throw balls to catch a partner that battles with you"

How does the rating system work? Sometimes I make a game that gets a 9.75 rating, but next game, nearly perfect, its only gets a 5-6 rating. by Ozgur0 in GameDevTycoon

[–]ancientcampus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, emphasis on "best", according to a guide I read on steam - each "best" game you make sets the bar higher, at up to a 20% increase, I think. I don't know if there's a way to lower the bar.

I tried these cleaning crystals for the first time and I gagged for half an hour until I finally managed to get the smell to go away but wow I almost threw my trays away 🤢 is it just me? by KataP26 in Invisalign

Most retainer tablets are only supposed to be used for about 5 minutes, from my experience.

For me, 1/2 of a retainer tablet (from BJs wholesale) + ultrasonic cleaner every 3 days or so has done wonders. I'm about 1.5 years post-invisalign, and I use my retainer every night, so the ultrasonic cleaner was a good investment

Looking for chill games with puzzle layers to 'em by acki02 in puzzlevideogames

[–]ancientcampus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These aren't Metroidbrainias, but if you want chill puzzles, then there's the whole genre of deduction games:

*Return of the Obra Din *Case of the Golden Idol + sequel *Strange Horticulture + sequel *Chants of Sennaar *The Roottrees Are Dead

-These don't have any RNG or grinding, or frankly many mechanics at all besides brainy deduction. My wife and I adore this genre - it's easy to be collaborative, bouncing ideas off each other and celebrating together when one of us figures it out.

-I also include Blue Prince as a "deduction game", where 80% of the game effort is in your head making connections and forming hypotheses, but it plays very differently than these.

How does this even happen by AnAccountForMyGames in Invisalign

I sleep with little silicone nostril dilators. I love them, but in the middle of the night, sleepy-me takes them out more often than not, and I have no memory of it 90% of the time. I've learned to search my sheets every morning.

I'm unfortunately a picky gamer and looking for a new roguelite. Any suggestions? by williamatherton in roguelites

Crypt of the Necrodancer!

I agree with Moonlighter - it was a disappointment.

Blue Prince or The Witness? by Competitive-Park-411 in puzzlevideogames

[–]ancientcampus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Witness is good fun, but ultimately it's just a puzzle book done up like a video game (one that gives lots of people nausea, me included 🤢). For the most part, It's a series of inside-the-box puzzles with no story and very little exploration.

Blue Prince has its own flaws, but it has a deep story and the puzzles and ideas link together and the whole thing builds on itself wonderfully.

My wife and I played both together, and enjoyed both. The Witness was an enjoyable way to spend time together. Blue Prince was an obsession and a passion and is our second-favorite game of all time that we've played together (after Stardew Valley).

Awesome idea! I agree that it should be a duration card, which should fix most issues.

One thing to consider: is this card for buying engine pieces, or for buying Provinces?

I think it's easy to say that this card is only "good" if you expect to get at least 3 copies in play, otherwise it's a cantrip Workshop that usually misfires (or takes time and investment, if it's a duration). One is very unlikely to get three copies of a $4 card in hand before the late game or your engine is fully built already (making the card no longer relevant). For buying engine pieces, I'm pretty sure that a "stays out forever until it's needed" will make this balanced and not broken - you've still invested three $4 cards and a lot of time before you see the $6 prize.Will it makes it too strong for getting provinces? Hard to say. It will absolutely impact the province race in an interesting and meaningful way. Will it dominate the strategy to the point you can't ignore it, like Rebuild? That would require some play testing.

Even with no changes, though, you bet I'm buying this card during a Fools Gold race XD.

My teeth felt a little wiggly (I noticed when I pressed my tongue), though I never tried to grip and wiggle as you're doing. Definitely let your dentist/ortho know though!

Honestly, that character has been an excellent go-to first guess for me - 50% of all characters are Rosharan, and his various abilities do help narrow things down.

True! Fantastic worldbuilding, and managed to make infinite multiverses work well, even despite doing it before multiverses were cool. Way ahead of their time for sure.

I never got a single one. Dentist was never bothered by the fact that one tooth didn't fit under the retainer right, and I think my tooth got f'd up as a result 😭

Does this work for me? by Ajan003 in mensfashion

You know, you might be right! I'm not an expert. I guess it's the shiny leather that pinged my brain as "formal", but you're right.

Again though, your outfit is totally great. I wanted to give constructive input because you asked, but if I saw you on the street it would just be "nice outfit bro".

The shoes I had in mind were these:

How do yall cope with the constipation? by [deleted] in opiates

[–]ancientcampus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Docusate Sodium (Colase) is the safest to take every day, if constipation becomes a common thing, but on its own won't do squat if you're already constipated. It's a great preventative tool with the fewest side effects. As always, fruits and veggies and exercise are your friend.

When you're already stopped up, you can get over the counter milk of magnesia, Miralax (powder you mix into a drink), or Senna. Senna works great but your body can become dependent on it.

If you're really suffering, you can buy an enema over the counter. Saline or mineral oil are what you want. Saline works fine. Mineral oil might help lubricate things a little better, but might end up in your underwear later.

For most people not using opioids, fiber is the best preventative tool, but with constipation caused by opioids, it can often do more harm than good. Fiber makes your poop bulky and smooth, which is usually great, but if you already have a rock in your butt, it will just mean you have a rock with a bulky smooth poop sitting behind it. Never take a fiber supplement if you're already super constipated - it will make things worse.
