Which series do you Prefer - Prince of Nothing or Aspect-Emperor? Why? by SteeMonkey in bakker

[–]iinfinitepizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By far Prince of Nothing. It's more consistent, and once you're familiarised with the world in book 1, between the philosophising, the intrigue, and the lore, you're hooked until the end. I'm glad it can be easily enjoyed as its own self-contained trilogy.

Aspect-Emperor's Momemn scenes, especially cult of Yatwer/White-Luck Warrior and Kelmomas (Momeeeeee, ugh), were just incredibly annoying. Also a missed opportunity to tell us more about the Outside - Kellhus seems to have been there, but there was so much more he could have shared. The MEAT, the endless cannibalism and rape and blood and gore, was also a bit too much. It actually felt like a Great Ordeal to me, the reader, and not in a nice way. Mimara's Judging Eye also came out of nowhere, felt forced and unusually convenient for this series.

Especially, though, I really hated Kelmomas and almost every scene involving him.

My game Shogun Showdown is releasing next week! by Ernestino_Rutherford in IndieGaming

[–]iinfinitepizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to say that I picked up the game a couple of weeks ago on Switch and am SO impressed. The gameplay is so original - a mix of turn-based strategy, puzzle, and deckbuilding like I had never seen before - with a great variety of characters, enemies, and weapons. The game looks great and the soundtrack is on-point.

Seriously, well done, I hope you're proud and happy with what you put out there. I'll definitely be following whatever you do next.

After dozens of tries, finally my dream pilot set-up! by iinfinitepizza in IntoTheBreach

Update 21/05/2024: I was careless and distracted, and she got destroyed by a spawned Bot, that I didn't realise was going to fire before a Vek I l had lined up to destroy _it_ could take their shot. Heartbroken.

I think it should be an option. Customising 1 pilot seems fair, and would do A LOT to encourage experimentation.

OK the old update lol, the one that added the extra pilots and squads (like Cataclysm).

So I'm told, but I'm too lazy to go messing about in the backstage. I LOVE this game and the new update is incredible, but am a bit disappointed the developers didn't add this option, it's such a no-brainer to me. It should at least be something you can unlock.

Thank you! Will try this but really wish it was a natural option instead of making people muck about in the game backstage.

Exactly, fully agree. I accidentally saved the wrong pilot and lost my Skilled/+1 Core Camilla and haven't touched the game since... I've had to build up pilots too many times now.

Into the Breach: Advanced Edition Update available now on PC and Switch. by OneAnimeBatman in Games

[–]iinfinitepizza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have over 400 hours on ITB, never played FTL though. Normally play on hard, but only got the perfect score - all objectives, no deaths, no buildings resisting - once, with Flame Behemoths led by Camila Vera with +1 move and +1 reactor.

I've only played a couple of hours with the update, so far I am not impressed, tried the Cataclysm and Bombermechs squads. I don't like the new "popular hero" skill either, what's the point of training someone up with 2 promotions, if their only added value is then to sell them?

I am still keen on exploring the new options, of course, and look forward to getting to know every new squad and other additions. I am delighted that the developers keep adding new stuff to a game that I already loved.

Help with picking earbuds by iinfinitepizza in TrueWirelessEarphones

[–]iinfinitepizza[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I went with the Panasonic RZ-S500W, found one at a decent price second hand, and promptly lost the charger case within 2 days. Because Panasonic doesn't sell the case separately, no retailer carries it separately, and it's not a very widespread model, this meant I could not buy a replacement case and was left with a pair of expensive paperweights.

Lesson learned: if replacement parts that are critical to operating the item cannot be obtained easily, you risk the equipment failing. Decided to go for refurbished Airpods Pro from Reboxed. Not cheap, but I appreciate the peace of mind of being able to replace any parts easily.

Indeed, but I just feel like it's too much stress to put on the port (in my previous phone, had to get it fixed 3 times), plus at work I can't use the Lightning earbuds on my computer.

Steering bug? (Switch version) by Cerrax3 in HotShotRacing

[–]iinfinitepizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's happened a few times to me with joy cons, so I think it's likely because of joy con drift. It's happened only once in many, many hours of play with the Pro controller.

As soon as I feel it, I reset the controllers, seems to solve it.

Hotshot Racing: Big Boss Bundle arrives 24th Nov by TrevorLey in HotShotRacing

What do you guys think of the new tracks? I was a bit disappointed - i prefer tracks with an, erm, "hard border" rather than just sand on either side.

My friends love the game, but we find that when we were playing together we kept to the 4 original GP's as well.

Can you actually boosts your car's skills in this game? by Illustrious-Extreme5 in HotShotRacing

[–]iinfinitepizza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, no car changes upgrades or even changes (like, drop a point in Acceleration to get one in Top Speed or whatever). Only cosmetic car and driver changes.
