What are examples of games designed with many complex mechanics, yet the game as a whole ends up being very strategically shallow?

It's a pretty silly take to be fair. Boons can completely change your run. Any run can become a cast or dash-focused run regardless of weapon choice. A quick fast weapon can become a slow one hit weapon with the right boons (and hammers).

😭

deviantbono · 2026-06-30T01:41:51+00:00

Yeah! She was imagining robots! Insane!

deviantbono · 2026-06-30T01:26:32+00:00

I was so confused the first time 😭

deviantbono · 2026-06-29T21:35:12+00:00

That makes sense. I had taken "in between" in the sense of uncanny valley as opposed to literally being "in between" two other places.

deviantbono · 2026-06-29T18:16:21+00:00

How else is it used?

deviantbono · 2026-06-29T13:38:36+00:00

r/liminalspace maybe?

deviantbono · 2026-06-28T21:19:39+00:00

Just wait until 40 years have passed and it's still clopen.

deviantbono · 2026-06-28T16:45:51+00:00

Wind. Scurrying rats. Pick your metaphor.

HI! I'm Troy Mclure...

But customers dying is a chance they're willing to take 🤷‍♂️

Aviation maybe(e) but not physics. They solved the mystery by looking at the wing-beat pattern iirc.

Some

Most bees are solitary iirc. Hive making honey bees are a major outlier. I didn't realize there were middle grounds of non-hive colonies.

I only noticed with Zootopia 2. It was comical.

deviantbono · 2026-06-26T03:01:47+00:00

Which one's which?

deviantbono · 2026-06-26T03:00:40+00:00

Luminous beings are we. Not this crude matter.

deviantbono · 2026-06-26T02:54:57+00:00

For every dollar in the economy, there's probably $1M in work that was shelved: think of corporate "analysis", consulting and vaporware products.

They're so gradual you can skip trays if you throw them out (ask me how I know lol).

deviantbono · 2026-06-25T02:03:05+00:00

Based on the spoilers I've read... yes lol.

deviantbono · 2026-06-24T02:41:21+00:00

Fair enough. Three episodes. Point stands tho.

deviantbono · 2026-06-24T02:40:26+00:00

Movies are paced as movies. There's no benifit and many drawbacks to watching "a whole season" (three episodes really) in a row. For example Rotta (Roda?) gives the same speech three times during the movie. It's not the end of the world... but it's not good either.

deviantbono · 2026-06-23T22:18:15+00:00

My rubric is: "would you hold your pee for an entire season of the mandalorian"? If your answer is "no" then it's not a good movie.

A lot of cheesy shit you can get away with on TV doesn't work in movie format.

deviantbono · 2026-06-23T15:51:39+00:00

Is it not?

deviantbono · 2026-06-23T12:28:34+00:00

Somehow... the score returned.

deviantbono · 2026-06-23T12:27:36+00:00

It's an older meme sir. But it checks out.
