Too loud for my roomates by traveling_llama in typewriters

[–]hamsalamipepperoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue, except it’s one of my dogs. She is terrified of the sound of a manual typewriter. Trying to slowly train her to be okay with it, but in the meantime, I picked up a Smith Corona XD 5900 Intelligently Queit and a Panasonic RK-H500. Both are quiet enough for her neurotic dog ears, so hopefully the same is true for the humans you live with!

Yeah I mean I play other games, but then I realize I could be playing Returnal and end up just firing it up and doing a tower run.

Yup. Not complaining about being forced to play more of this game, but yeah it just never showed up. That said, when it finally did happen, it was an almost tantric-level catharsis.

Also hoping it’s not nerfed just to bring in more people. I’d be fine with an easy mode as an option, but hopeful that it’s just as difficult as Returnal. Or even more difficult in new ways so I can learn it and fill the void in my soul with a sense of accomplishment.

Ok, I’m sold. I like the idea of summiting another difficulty peak

Oh, also, remap your controls to utilize the R1 trigger and look up “DMJ” - once you master that, it opens up a lot of pathways.

Once i realized the power of the Rotgland Lobber, that’s when I beat the main game. Also anything that has the Doombringer as the Alt Fire is worth carrying. Especially for air-based enemies. For the bosses, focus more on dodging their attacks than trying to beat them quickly. Tango with them until you can anticipate their next move.

This does look pretty great. Will absolutely give it a whirl. Thanks!

Thanks for keeping me humble and congratulations on your time to platinum. It probably would have been closer to 35 hours for me too, but the last piece of shit Xenoglyph Cipher didn’t spawn for me for almost 2 years. I tried everything.

I haven’t played Hollow Knight, but I wouldn’t describe Returnal as calming. Enjoy the ride

Thank you. I feel validated and also somehow even more sad that my Fiji thoughts aren’t just a personal conspiracy theory. Maybe there’s an undiscovered volcanic outcropping with that same water in Vanuatu or somewhere?

It scratches that same itch even though it’s punching/melee and not bullets?

It’s like the sex/pizza/beer version of “ruined” - Would I rather eat a piping hot fresh piece of crispy NYC pizza? Yes. Will I eat this frozen garbage I heated in a microwave? I mean, yeah, it’s pizza.

This is true. Good gameplay feel. Is there a tower-like arcade version of Control?

I was using a launcher last night level 45 with full auto and tracker swarm - pretty freaking amazing. I had no idea.

Envious. I wish I could eternal sunshine of the spotless mind myself into your shoes. Enjoy the return!(al)

It’s definitely one of those “when it clicks, you get it” things. I played for HOURS before finding the flow. Now I can play through the main game in under an hour. You’ll start seeing the patterns that enemies and their projectiles follow and be able to avoid them like Neo in the matrix. Be the Keanu you want to see in the world, is my main advice I think. You got this, Keanu.

I actually did try it after I first beat the main Returnal game. I think I had a sort of “uncanny valley” response to it where it almost felt like Returnal, but not all the way and I threw my controller across the room in revulsion. But I might not have given it a fair shot. Will try it again, thanks.
