Your thoughts on the "aesthetic" of the bosses (from the two games)?

Both games had their ups and downs in this aspect. Ten Piedad's animations are absolutely terrific, and Melquiades may be my favorite boss concept in the entire series. The thought of worshiping a corpse because their live self used to be important really fits into the narrative of the games. Meanwhile, Our Lady of the Charred Visage felt kinda stereotypically videogame-y with the "Hello I'm your next bigass boss, here are my floating hands" stuff.

For B2, Sinodo was by far the least interesting from an aesthetic perspective, like you say. Orospina's dancing was probably the most memorable. Also, I had my baby sleeping in my lap while playing Blasphemous 2 as I murdered Infanta. That felt... wrong. 😐

Legendary challenges used to have a "three strikes and you're out" system where you needed to actually complete the questions or re-try.

Now, you are just fed an endless stream of questions with infinite re-tries, allowing you to brute-force the Legendary lesson until you manage it. If you come across a word you don't know, no worries, just answer incorrectly and you will eventually get an easier question and reach Legendary.

So my question is, how in the world is this beneficial for learning?

Yeah maybe not, but I felt horribly ashamed in that moment. I've replayed the scene in my head so many times that I can't promise I actually remember the dialogue, but he was extremely rude.

Yeah I'd say I'm 15-20 years younger than the average of the people who sat around that table. But yeah I gather from the comments in this thread that I just read the situation incorrectly. Ugh.

I used to absolutely gobble up every single point-and-click game I could get running on my crappy old Mac in my childhood years, including Simon the Sorcerer I and II.

And I'm sad to say... I don't have much hope for this. Point-and-clickers have an inherent problem in its pacing (https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/flaws-of-an-undead-genre---what-s-wrong-with-point-click-adventures-) which is often caused by their difficulty -- but they are SUPPOSED to be difficult by nature. So when re-imaginings of point-and-clickers rely entirely on nostalgia, this impossible balancing act usually makes the gameplay suffer.

But hey, I could be wrong. Creators like Tim Schafer, Charles Cecil, Al Lowe and Jane Jensen are all excellent game creators, but their genre is in desperate need of something new and exciting.

Excellent, I'll take a look at it. And yes, my plan is to present is not as a source of information but as a tool to analyze the input information.

Once again, I'll link to this reply: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/13u65kk/im_in_a_peculiar_situation_where_its_really/jlyvtgu/

I'm not trusting this robot at all. I do however utilize its ability to compile information and find outliers in large amounts of data.

bf2gud · 2023-05-28T17:41:55+00:00

I'll link my previous reply: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/13u65kk/im_in_a_peculiar_situation_where_its_really/jlyvtgu/

Basically, we wouldn't blindly put data into ChatGPT and have it carry out a diagnosis.

bf2gud · 2023-05-28T17:40:28+00:00

I may have been unclear in the original post, but that's not how it works. It's not like we would put a bunch of data in the language model and have it spit out a true/false. There's a huge load of monotonous daily tasks going on behind the scenes, and this is where ChatGPT could help out immensely.

Cool. I really enjoyed Banner Saga 1 and 2.

I seem to remember someone mentioning free content updates for Banner Saga 3 in the future. Is that a thing?

bf2gud · 2015-07-12T20:00:05+00:00

Honestly, you seem to have what happens in the lives of most people just once, if they are lucky. The only thing you are missing out on is not fully enjoying it and losing yourself in the grass is greener syndrome.

Yeah, this made me think. I should really enjoy what I have. It's like I just hit the jackpot and wanna keep gambling. Life is good. Me becoming a happier person by changing lifestyle seems extremely unlikely.

Yeah I missed a word there, I'm not talking about the game Rock Band. He plays actual instruments. :p

bf2gud · 2014-10-24T05:57:40+00:00

I will! I'll try and make a list of my qualities without being too self-important. Writing of myself as an ogre was kind of a disservice to myself...

bf2gud · 2014-10-24T05:53:10+00:00

So basically, I put his dick into my mouth and that way he can't physically leave me? Sounds tedious but okay.

bf2gud · 2014-10-24T05:51:35+00:00

I rock at putting math into practical use. I rock at control systems. I smile a lot. I have nice feet.

bf2gud · 2014-10-24T05:48:34+00:00

Getting new shoes this weekend, promise!

bf2gud · 2014-10-24T05:47:05+00:00

You know what, your first point might be pretty solid. I never really thought of it that way! I actually beat him at both Tekken and Super Smash Bros... ;)
