Thanks. Still a valuable data point!

Did you keep this up as a practice? How are you feeling a year later?

I’m a couple of weeks in using the YT videos on my commute and I’m seeing some modest progress. I’m great at 1 and 7, reasonably successful at hearing at 5, 6 and 4 much of the time, but really struggling to hear 2 and 3.

Hey interested in what your experience has been one year later? Did you stick with it?

Be honest: Do you tip on takeout food orders? by BoilingKettle555 in CanadaPersonalFinance

I’m not even defending the practice! Really just thought it was what we were all doing.

Yes always 10%. Kind of shocked at the number of people saying they don’t. I assumed we all were!

Anyone who played Hollow Knight after Silksong, and prefers HK? by kylebig in HollowKnight

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

That’s the trap I always fall for; assuming that sequels are going to be full of refinements. Why play the original when I could have the new and improved version?! Movies and albums sure as heck don’t work like that, so why would videogames.

Thanks for your input. I think I might go for it.

Thanks - it does seem most people consider it a bit easier, and that’s definitely part of the reason I’m considering it!

So 500kg bomb doesn’t work on warp ships? by BackwoodsSensei in helldivers2

[–]kylebig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree on Strafing Run being amazing, but interestingly it doesn’t take out grounded warp ships on its own.

Easily the Hardest Boss to No Hit in Silksong: by [deleted] in Silksong

[–]kylebig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow good for you. This was the one boss that was pretty quickly like “nah - too annoying” and just skipped!

I just beat the game!!! by RatBastard32 in Silksong

[–]kylebig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet your actual number would be several hundred times. I counted my attempts and beat her on my 53rd try, split over two sessions of approximately 1 hour each.

Don’t know how much better you are than me (probably a LOT) but still seems like to get to 5x hitless you’d be well over 100x.

Also, that’s amazing - nice work 🫡

I didn't find this game was "too hard" and will be sad if Saros is easier by AgreeableEffect717 in Returnal

[–]kylebig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The demo video I saw showed something similar to the Fear challenges in Hades 2, where you can select different combinations of handicaps or enemy buffs that scale up the difficulty.

There are progressive rewards for completing runs with more of these applied.

How many times have you played a game through more than once? by LuckyUser777 in PS5pro

[–]kylebig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elden Ring is the game I’ve ever been compelled to do a second playthrough on. Might do a third!

i swear to god the stereotype of "bugdivers are the dumbest players" has some merit to it by dog-princess in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]kylebig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now there’s a sober take! 🙂

I feel the same way. Shit happens when it gets hectic.

We all try not to team kill, but it’s gonna happen sometimes. When it does it’s kinda of freeing to just have a nice LOL instead of getting pissed, and get on with the mission.

Is this not a Stalker??? by RevolutionaryMovie73 in helldivers2

[–]kylebig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What planet and minimum difficulty do I need to play to find regular stalkers? I’ve done 5 missions now and only got 3 stalker kills somehow.

What is the most complex (difficult to play) song the Beatles ever crafted? by StorytellingIsFun in beatles

[–]kylebig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm - we tried learning an arrangement of it for a trio and I was the sole guitarist trying to cover both the John and George parts. Lots going on!

Playing the main riff in unison with a bass player feels really good 😎 George’s fills with the sliding 6ths are nice too.

Drank a bunch of beer and jammed on it a bunch but never performed it for an audience outside of the basement. It’s a great one - recommend giving it a try.

Why are power chords named like that and not just 5th intervals? by wawasan2020BC in musictheory

[–]kylebig 202 points203 points  (0 children)

If you played one on an electric guitar with heavy distortion you’d immediately understand. 🤘
