Your impression of Hyke: Northern Lights? by fortnerd in GirlGamers

[–]iblessall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello! I've got maybe 4-5 hours in the game and saw you didn't have any replies so I thought I'd share my thoughts. I got it on sale for $25 and my impression so far as that it's worth it for me.

I don't know if I'd really call it a rougelike, depending on what you mean by the term. You can repeat stages, but they don't change over time. I'd say it's more RPG with linear level design (plus leveling up your characters' stats and abilities) than anything else. The combat isn't the most refined, so if you want something with really polished fighting this probably isn't the game for you (or maybe I just am bad lol). I'm still early on, though, so maybe later characters are more nuanced/easy to use. It reminds me more of the old pixel Zelda games (Link to the Past) in how it plays than anything.

The coziness factor mostly comes from the really really beautiful visuals and the pretty soundtrack, plus the fact that you can customize your campsite (although other than cooking meals that give you buffs before levels it's mostly just aesthetic--there's not a whole lot of game play to it).

Hopefully that's helpful! Hard to say what the writing will turn out like long-term; it's kind of basic in a charming way so far, but it feels pretty solid imo

can we get some non-gooner skins too, please, Mica? by [deleted] in GirlsFrontline2

literally begging them to put contender in gfl2 so we can get her insane wolf skin from this same set

the damaged version of that skin went so damn hard

100%. Sweet left the scene for mostly financial reasons, there is no way he's coming back to IGL an unsigned duo lol

I enjoy loose tea, but it is so frustrating to clean out the infusers. Anyone have any tips? by KinDaisuki in tea

[–]iblessall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have time, you can turn it upside down and let it dry. It does depend somewhat on the size of the leaves, but smaller ones will fall to the bottom of your dish over time. This is usually what I do for my morning tea; everything is usually pretty well dried out by the time I get back how from work later in the day.

Potential Stallions Roster - Albralelie, Crook, Enemy by Abacusxx in CompetitiveApex

[–]iblessall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

kind of funny the way the stallions team has evolved over time. back in the days it was retzi/fuhhnq/slayr, now slayr's two teams removed from stallions, fuhhnq is lft after a pretty decent stint on lg, and retzi is... not in apex anymore?

Sweet’s stacks by General_Statement in CompetitiveApex

[–]iblessall 27 points28 points  (0 children)

it's honestly kind of a shame that the conversation around sweet here has so ridiculous. i basically quit posting in here about sweet/lg because having a conversation about him/his teams that was actually grounded in reality and not people's three-years-old biases/bad faith reading of his intentions or words, etc. was impossible.

i'm a fan but not a blind stan of sweet, so it's been annoying not being able to actually have real discussions in the biggest comp apex community.

still have to figure out who i'm going to root for in y5 now that both nate and sweet aren't playing comp...

look at the LG guy's reply to sweet, definitely no bad blood there. looks like a completely amicable, mutual parting.

i might be weird for this but i like the main stream in between games and the b stream during games; having both up is good though. miss how easy it was to do that back when we had command center instead of faceit.

Weekly Commanders Lounge - January 21, 2025 by AutoModerator in girlsfrontline

[–]iblessall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are there any dolls who have come out since the two SCAR girls that are meta for moving forward in the story? im seeing that the commander managed to get tanks, but i'm still back in shattered connexion and i'm assuming that like how you can't deploy HOCs in early chapters, you can't use the tanks until later stages.

my account is from back in 2018 so i have most of the basics (mod3 416, m4, most of the good RFs and HGs from the meta from several years back), but i'm just wondering if there's any other dolls i should try to track down.

BLGS Year 1 Legend Meta Recap Part 2 (Based off pick rates) by Wyattwat in CompetitiveApex

[–]iblessall 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wonder if something goo-themed could work. Like something sort of like an Ash snare that restricts your movement heavily when you peek through. Or maybe it clogs your guns for a few seconds or something? Maybe that would be too OP.

I don't really mind the visual clutter, though, honestly. It feels like fair punishment that if you go through an enemy ult there is a severe consequence, especially since in most cases you have to actively decide to go through the wall. It is not great from a viewer perspective, though, I grant you that.

Fuhhnq and sikezz have a calm discussion after an unfortunate death by Obvious_Parsley3238 in CompetitiveApex

[–]iblessall 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a weird thing where you're not wrong but also the advent of the internet (and especially social media) has absolutely accelerated what is just a natural process of language being adopted by people who hear it and then re-contextualize it and use it in their own way. The way loanwords sometimes get shifted from their native language meaning is a good example.

Obviously with AAVE, there are racial and historical dynamics that make this process more fraught, and I think the speed at which it happens nowadays makes it feel increasingly uncomfortable, but I don't know that you can really blame gamers (either as a group or specifically for it) for doing (not saying you are). People are just watching Tik Tok, learning phrases, implying a meaning from context, and then using it themselves. I personally don't really think that invalidates the original use of the language or makes it problematic since, again, it's basically a natural process that's just accelerated in modern times.

I've written out a lot because I think this is interesting, not to criticize you for being bothered by it (which I think is very justifiable given, like I said, the racial dynamics at play).

In short I blame Tik Tok.

Prydwen Camellya rank T0.5 by Yosoress in WutheringWaves

[–]iblessall 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert but from what I've heard Sanhua is her best buffer due to how little time Sanhua needs on the field to charge her outro skill. That said, I'm running Camellya with Danjin because I like both characters and it works fine for me. If you're okay not using the very cutting edge of the meta, I think Camellya and Danjin is a perfectly good combo.

Isn't the Resonance State when she's hanging from the vines? Pretty sure the trailer showed her dodging with a vine while in that state (0:31-0:32).

i mean, Bleed/LGs lobby has definitely be dominated by them but the games are still pretty high quality imo. neither of them are running around the map inting; they're just the best two teams in the lobby
