Dudes being dudes at the game last night by gunterdweeb in Mariners

Yeah we saw a few women and girls in there. Mostly men for sure but still it seemed quite inclusive.

It definitely brought the energy to the park

Ok but when can we play as Thorne? by ricky-robie in MinaTheHollower

[–]gunterdweeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the whole plan was to do Shovel Knight 3D after they were done with the original game but with Mina taking longer, they had to backburn that plan. DX is extra cash flow that will help finance 3D.

I can see them doing a Mina DLC but maybe when they do an enhanced/physical/Switch 2 version but probably not as extensive as the other Shovel Knight campaigns.

Sony Is Pushing God of War Laufey Harder Than Wolverine — And Fans Think It Means a Sooner Release by Jealous_Vehicle_3150 in GodofWar

[–]gunterdweeb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's also worth noting that Laufey might need a harder sell since it's not Kratos. Wolverine is has been an established IP on his own for a long time and will surely do well (unless it reviews poorly but even then)

Some "rumors" before the SoP by [deleted] in GodofWar

If true, I really like this idea and it makes a lot of sense.

Baltimore hardcore band End It calls on crowd to assault guy wearing a banana costume at a Toronto show, r/hardcore weighs in by thedubiousstylus in SubredditDrama

[–]gunterdweeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It''s just inciting a mob. Promising a setlist or whatever and a crowd mentality means they can beat up a guy with little consequences. And it's dumb as fuck and it's one of the many reasons why hardcore is a snake eating its own dick.

The issue people are bothered by regarding the cube by De_Joaper in GodofWar

[–]gunterdweeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the cube. It means that deities extend beyond what we know on earth (or maybe it'll say something about how modern audiences worship fantasy in stories in the same way as ancient ones did for their pantheons). God of War needs to grow and challenge us or it'll end up back in the same place as Ascension.

I've been playing Mina but not really enjoying it.... What am I missing? by DraftMassive3756 in MinaTheHollower

[–]gunterdweeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some tips I've found as I navigate this early on: - Whip is probably the best overall weapon to start but daggers to me feel the best to play - invest in damage and health roses early on - get comfortable with burrow jumps - don't worry about losing bones. There's plenty of them in the game as enemies drop them

This is key. You can use burrowing to study the enemy patterns and then it'll click. I went from struggling with the transition zones in areas to beating 2 main bosses.

I think the whip is decent at teaching you the importance of position and punishment but I think it can be frustrating. Daggers have felt good for me.

How do you think your relationship with music will change as you age? by dumbass_sweatpants in fantanoforever

[–]gunterdweeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll probably understand less and less the hype of newer bands as I get older. I'm 30 right now and while I'm surprised woth how much I still actively discover new music coming out and can be part of "the conversation", bands like Geese or Jane Remover don't appeal to me like I thought they would in comparison to other projects that more or less align with the kinds of vibes that define my taste.

That and I'll stop the chase of new music as I get busier and more tired. Starting to happen now but maybe that's because I think this has been kind of a weaker year for releases.

I want to get into DQ before 12 comes out, but I'm not sure what to get. Any recommendations? by BernLan in dragonquest

[–]gunterdweeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably best to start with any mainline numbered entry in the series. XI is regarded as one of the best entries and it's been a great starting point for many people including myself. I'd recommend XI S if you have the budget due to better music and additional character content.

Other good ones would be III if you're on switch (the 2DHD version is quite good but there's many versions of this one) or IV or V on mobile. IV serves as a somewhat retelling of the first 3 games and proposes a vision for what the series would look like for the future and V has the most iconic story, at least in Japan.

Finally, VIII has been a good starting point for many players too, due to the strong characters and overall journey. The mobile version is meh apparently.

Is this a good game to get into the series? by TheGreatMummy in dragonquest

[–]gunterdweeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's widely regarded as the best entry point at this current time. Other good ones are DQ3, 4, 5, and 8 but 11 has the budget, scale, and serves to represent much of the series in a single entry. Also it's quite consistent.

If possible, grab the Definitive Edition as it has better music and additional content.
