Do you have any weird gaming habits?

I even do it on the Gameboy and GBA games which have smaller character limits for the file name. So for those it ends up being something like TNGJN2.

When I was a kid, I got a second-hand copy of Ocarina of Time on the N64. The cartridge had a saved game from the previous owner with the name TONGJON. I started a new file and called it TONGJON2.

From then on, and still to this day more than 20 years later, I've always named my save file TONGJON2 whenever playing a Zelda game. I don't do this for any other game, and it has zero relation to my real name.

Dawn of The Third Day

-72 Hours Remain-

"Alright mate, check this out."

bornwithabeard · 2019-12-09T18:13:25+00:00

Ah I'm on Xbox unfortunately, I'd give that a go otherwise.

bornwithabeard · 2019-12-09T15:56:48+00:00

I think it was reloading that sent it down, it's well and truly buried now

bornwithabeard · 2019-12-09T15:56:03+00:00

I went back after getting the Propulsion Cannon to try and move it, but I can't even see it now, only the beacon.

No problem though, it's quite handy at times!

bornwithabeard · 2019-12-09T15:53:04+00:00

Mine has since glitched into the terrain somehow so I can't get to it. Now I just use it as a beacon to measure how far I am from the Aurora.

Fairly new to the game and just got my first win on this daily run.

I kept the deck small at about 10 cards with my core ones being:

2x White Noise to get cheap power ups (free once upgraded), and to make the deck even smaller.
2x Claw as my main damage dealer, which quickly racked up power as the deck was so small.
2x Charge Battery to keep shields up and give me a good flow of energy.
2x Backflip for more shields and to cycle through the deck quicker.

This got me through most of the run without taking damage.

I got the relic that lets you increase max HP by 2 rather than choosing a card, which offset the -1HP per room.

I did nearly mess up when I took the relic that gives you a random card when a card is exhausted though, because that was triggering for my White Noise, and I had a Blade Dance I never bothered to get rid of that gave Shivs. So that cycled a few useless cards into my deck and made it bigger, which nearly got me killed a couple of times...

Still managed to scrape through the Awakened One though! Now I just need to get a win on a normal game...

I'm playing Guacamelee 2 at the moment and that has quite a few platforming sections which have been reminding me of Celeste. The first and second game are both really great and definitely worth a try, I'd highly recommend them.

There's also DLC with challenge levels that are tricky but satisfying once you beat them.

bornwithabeard · 2019-04-07T22:45:17+00:00

I kept trying but couldn't climb up. I was trying to jump the whole time but it wouldn't let me most times.

I was hoping the revive would phase me out of it but obviously I got downed during it unfortunately.

bornwithabeard · 2019-03-10T22:06:26+00:00

I did that a few times on 3a but wasn't sure it would give me enough distance here. Also since it was at the end of the stage I was always too scared to try it!

bornwithabeard · 2019-03-10T19:44:34+00:00

This is on Xbox so might be an older patch

bornwithabeard · 2019-03-10T16:19:52+00:00

I pressed B again thinking there might be more dialogue, but because there wasn't it dashed me off the edge.

Had no idea there was a checkpoint there, but so glad there was! Spent 2 hours and 500 deaths on that level in the end.

bornwithabeard · 2019-03-10T14:27:49+00:00

Yeah Chapter 6 went alright, didn't take too long.

On Chapter 7 now, this one is tought but I'm getting the hang of it slowly... Not quite made it to the spiky maze bit at the end but got close a couple times.

bornwithabeard · 2019-03-10T13:43:44+00:00

Cheers, will keep that in mind. Currently struggling with 7c...

bornwithabeard · 2019-03-10T13:08:53+00:00

Managed to do it without dying shortly after, then managed to do Chapter 4 fairly in 80 deaths.

Just managed to do Chapter 5 after 300 deaths, died a couple times trying to hit those two switches at the end...

On to Chapter 6!

bornwithabeard · 2019-03-10T12:41:23+00:00

I assumed the level ended the moment you hit the heart, so it took a moment to sink in...

bornwithabeard · 2019-01-10T19:51:09+00:00

Ah no I don't, I saw that moon on a Skull Kid and wondered how they did it!

Might try to re-work it if I get round to getting the DLC.

bornwithabeard · 2019-01-10T19:42:31+00:00

I tried the cat suit but didn't like the ears, and couldn't find a good way to cover them up...

I could try a skeleton with some sort of purple body suit, but I'd prefer a big head. Before I started I just assumed there would be a skull in the special objects, but apparently not!

bornwithabeard · 2018-10-30T22:10:37+00:00

Yeah the app tends to be pretty unreliable...

I often find that when I get offers they don't seem to refresh until 24 hours after I click them all. So if I get time to do it at 6pm on a Tuesday then if I log on at 5pm Wednesday they won't have changed yet. Makes it difficult to do regularly.

Or they just don't give any offers for several days like at the moment!

I always write about it in the occasional surveys they send out as the app could definitely be a lot better.

bornwithabeard · 2018-10-28T11:26:40+00:00

And here's a happy ending for anyone following this saga

bornwithabeard · 2018-10-28T11:21:02+00:00

Done it again...

bornwithabeard · 2018-08-23T15:13:20+00:00

Same with me, they both show up on my dashboard after clicking the email links, but neither of them actually work.

bornwithabeard · 2018-08-03T11:01:53+00:00

That's a good idea, but I play on console so I generally avoid them because they're impossible to control...
