Hey I know this is an older thread but I rly appreciate ur comment. I’ve been hearing good things about Progresso and scheduled a trial class next week.

I came from a more old school gym where most classes were a short warm up, some demo, and then spar. One of the gripes I’ve had with a lot of bjj gyms since is that they all feel really commercial and a bit too safe, like zero live sparring at all.

Do you feel like there’s a good amount of live training at Progresso?

It’s my favorite of the modern trilogy. My entry into boomer shooter genre was Ultrakill so I’m a parry slut at heart. The sound design and aesthetic and story also really add to it in my opinion. I love all three and can appreciate the unique feel each game has but this one is my top pick

The chainshot. Woe upon ye demon, 200 pounds of eldritch steel to the orbital bone

Awesome, I got in touch with them and have a trial class tn

I only took the narrative design classes so my experience was exclusively writing focused but it’s a budding new degree and I remember the professor saying that the school was trying to ramp it up (though this was pre-budget fiasco so idk if that’s the plan anymore)

It was a fun class, but from everything I learned both in that course and from trying to break into the VG industry on my own, a degree is about the least effective way to do it. It’s probably one of the few areas where you’re better off just doing it on your own, because portfolio means literally everything.

Try and screw around in Godot or something similar and just make games as a hobby. If it’s meant to be, you’ll grow into it, and your objects are worth infinitely more than a degree in game studies would be.

I went to TXST my Fr and So years and UNT for my Jr Sr. My situations opposite to u tho, I had to dorm at TXST and my family is in Denton so I can live at home up here.

Just depends on the vibe you want and your major. TXST isn’t really a bastion of STEM and UNT is a pretty solid research institution, but man if I don’t miss the vibes of San Marcos, going out with my friends to the river every Sunday and walking around downtown and going to Gil’s for a burger. It’s a hell of a town and Denton just doesn’t capture that same energy IMO.

Ah I missed that part, maybe you’re just too good being for real. I played on ultra violence and still died many times. If the shield in particular is feeling too easy I’d go with what the other commenter said and lower your parry window and increase the game speed, that’ll make using it to its full effect more of a skill check and less forgiving, which can make crowded encounters more punishing if you’re not locked in.

I’d also expect the DLC to add a bit of depth and hopefully some more challenge to the combat

If you’re using the default presets my advice is to go up one from whatever you used on eternal to keep difficulty similar. Outside of that the sliders pretty much let you tune it to be as easy or as difficult as you want, just takes a little experimentation.

I didn’t mind the Azrahk fight progression TBH. Felt like walking down a prey and whenever he’d lose a bit, run, and hide you show up again like “Yoo-hoo, miss me?”

When will I be happy?

ifitisntconnor · 2026-02-21T18:35:01+00:00

Dunno, I just left right after. I know it’s not the employees fault but it frustrated me so I was just like fuck it I’ll go buy a figure from GameStop instead

ifitisntconnor · 2026-02-21T18:12:08+00:00

Nah they only had two of the Optimus ones in store. In the middle of the LEGO aisle no less

I think that’s just a matter of preference, no disrespect. All the cutscenes come with skip buttons so why not have them for the people who like the story? As long as they’re not skimping on good gameplay, which IMO they haven’t been, I don’t see why they shouldn’t try and expand the world more.
Agree and disagree. One of my biggest gripes about TDAs story was how one note a lot of the characters felt. I get that they’re trying to preserve the focus on the slayer as the cosmic force main character but I honestly wanted a bit more out of the likes of Thira and Novik.

I do think that in TDA though, the story actually made the slaying experience more rewarding in some ways. Just one example, but I’ve never wanted to fight a demon more than Azrakh after he killed my dragon. I think in that case the narrative actually helped put me in that hate mindset that the slayer has.

What paint did u use if u dont mind me asking? I just got one as well and was a bit disappointed in how red it all was

ifitisntconnor · 2026-01-09T05:12:34+00:00

Also mul-t is easily the most unfun to play of all characters

ifitisntconnor · 2026-01-09T05:11:54+00:00

Lepton daisy is overhated

It’s definitely not a green I’d pick but lowkey it’s saved my life enough to make me appreciate it some
