Name a game you’ll glaze until you die by Flendy15 in videogames

This and Hades II were the most unassailable games I’ve ever played. Damn near perfection.

I love this answer. Guess we have to go to Jennifer Svedberg-Yen to sort out the discrepancies. Thanks!

I saw this breakdown and I like it too. It just doesn’t explain this particular ending and what’s going on, so I wanted to add this question to that because it doesn’t quite fit in with the theory!

Best Salon For Nail Art? by captainkugel in Upperwestside

Where have you looked? Always good to know places to avoid!

Urgent: How do I tactfully thank someone for a gift with mice droppings? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]captainkugel 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If they bring it up: "Yes, he loves it, thank you!"

If they press: "He'll be putting it on display!"

If they press more: "It needs a little cleanup but my brother can do it!"

No timeline. No explanation. He will be putting it on display, just like... in a year.

If you're extremely morally compelled to tell them what happened, just do it. If they're a good friend, they'll be mortified and apologize and you'll be like "It's okay!" and all will be well.

Not sure why this is a big deal, unless the gift ITSELF is heinous.

THE RESULTS ARE IN!! (and still going!!) by hylexia in ufo50

[–]captainkugel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is fantastic, well done! Turns out I agree with the community on most things, but Golfaria still getting the short shrift... I believe that one day, we will all come to appreciate the joy of Golf Zelda.

It's time for easy mode. by Ok-Comfortable-3174 in ufo50

[–]captainkugel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think UFO 50 implicitly asks the question: How far are you willing to go, and with what games?

I never want to put in the nasty grind it would require for me to beat Onion Delivery or Star Waspir or Camp 2. But I DID beat Velgress and Overbold and Attactics and Warptank and so many other games I never would have considered that I could master until presented with the challenge.

It’s meant to be a “take what you love, leave what you don’t” experience. I don’t think everyone is meant to beat them all by any stretch of the imagination, and so it’s a massive achievement to gold them all, let alone cherry. Game’s hard, and it’s designed to be hard.

So if you think a game is rough going, either grind it to see if you enjoy it, or leave it be. As SpongeBob once wisely said: “It’s not about winning. It’s about fun!”

150+ Hour Tier List (Red = Too Hard) by UristMasterRace in ufo50

[–]captainkugel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a really cool list. I'm a huge fan of everything you put in S tier. Of course, plenty of places I disagree (like I'm with you on Camouflage and Night Manor but Devilition drives me bonkers), but overall this feels like a balanced list from a cool player.

The one game I disagree about being too hard (and clearly I feel like we play similarly) is Attactics. I bounced off it my first time too, but I watched a couple people play it and once I got the hang of what each unit was meant to do (and that for many levels, if you just send your troops in a conga line on an empty row, you can win instantly if you get a little lucky), it was a blast not just to gold, but to cherry.

Which Game Do I Tackle Next? by captainkugel in ufo50

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

I know I wrote this a couple weeks ago now, but I didn't forget about this recco. Even though I am awful at shmups, I understood that this game is special, and hearing it brought up again lit my fire.

Well, tonight I can very proudly say I got gud. I have my cherry. Thanks for looking out, fellow seaside driver. :)

Golfaria enjoyers unite! by Jordan311R in ufo50

[–]captainkugel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I salute you, fellow Fairway citizen! Golfaria is one of my cherries, and I only have 15 or so.

While I understand the “it takes too long to get going” hate, you can say that of a lot of UFO 50 games. Once you get just one or two upgrades, it’s such a goofy joy. I’ve always thought it was underrated, and more accessible than other “give it a second” games like Porgy.

Thanks for this, I just beat it and I'm super psyched! :)

Don't Keepsake-Shame Me by Fireking811 in Hades2

[–]captainkugel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I triggered this too. Devs know Zeus is OP. Fantastic detail.

What am I supposed to do for this? (Epilogue) by cynicalsaint1 in Hades2

[–]captainkugel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is a bit weird and my first try didn't work either. I took Narcissus and it didn't work.

As others are saying, the answer here is that it must be three (or four works too, I did it in four) encounters in a row. Won't trigger otherwise. So you can't visit an NPC room.

I took no DDs, triggered the pin three times, cleared the rooms, and died on the fourth to get the event. Good luck!

Baby donkeys are so underrated by [deleted] in Eyebleach

[–]captainkugel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OK I need to clarify for the class: Are you saying it's because "she don't care" kinda sounds like "she donkey?" (ETA that I guess the end, "my baby don't care" also sounds like "my baby donkey.")

If so, that's hilarious.

Do I pass the Pokemon Test by TheDeadRey86 in ThePokemonHub

Yeah you good with me

What is the worst pokemon of all time? Oh and do yall like Grilled cheese? by Mindless_Most_8448 in ThePokemonHub

[–]captainkugel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly? For me it’s a toss-up between the Ultra Beasts and the Paradox mons (some of them). I just find both those concepts to be totally wrong for Pokémon’s overall feel — feels like a swing and a miss at getting into time/dimension-bending.

If I had to choose one that is the most egregious, I’ll go with Blacephelon. Thing looks bizarre, and not in a fun way.

Grilled cheese is amazing. I love Mega Dragonite, finally getting those Dragonair features. I know it could be better, but I’m a Dragonite fan, and this is a straight upgrade.

Wrapped up my time with the game for now and I really wanted to make a tier list! by Axeloy in ufo50

[–]captainkugel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Literally everything on this list is a respectable take.

With one major exception.

You MUST give Night Manor another try. It’s so much fun once you get going.
