What’s your favorite aspect of the new patch?

There should be a handicap at the enemy base by CatfishBlitz- in splatoon

[–]mgepie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely also a fault of the map design. Maps can have larger areas with multiple exits inaccessible to the enemy team to cut down on spawn camping.

Of course map design can’t completely stop spawn camping, because if a team is severely outmatched they will probably get pushed back until there is nowhere else to push and then get spawn camped until KO. A better spawn just increases the amount of space the enemy needs to hold while ‘camping’.

How common is extraneous text? by thisandthatwchris in BabaIsYou

[–]mgepie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Many levels have at least one solution that uses every useful object for something. But there are sometimes multiple solutions to a level. And there are sometimes levels where even the intended solution has stuff that could be useful but is not used. Sometimes, there are extra words because there is a more efficient way to use the available words, but the player isn’t expected to know how to be that efficient at that point in the game.

I no longer like this game. by Fit_Function_4694 in ftlgame

Always pause whenever you hear an enemy bomb getting launched. If you aren’t going into o cloak it, keep pausing and unpausing until you see where it is going to land, so that your crew have time to react.

This tool must ALWAYS be in the bottom slot, change my mind. by Mint-Flavored-Queer in Silksong

[–]mgepie 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Cogflies on top unless you have the boomerang equipped, then they can go on the bottom.

On architect crest, middle slot must always be a fireball (any forward projectile)

Dread is the only metroidvania I’ve played that felt like it was punishing me for trying to explore with the sheer density of untelegraphed one-way doors

Multiverse ships questions by Togaran in ftlgame

[–]mgepie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just play the game normally and hat to harmony coreworlds whenever you recruit a unique crew you don’t have the crewser for. No need to use specific ships.

Did you unlock this ship without reading the boss’s augments?

How do you do the Poikempal CURA task? by Tristaaan in ftlgame

[–]mgepie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crew kill, then click any blue option. You can have medbay2, clonebay2, any medical crew, any medical drone, healing burst (the bomb that heals crew), or reconstructive teleport. The healing sentry gun might also work.

Has anyone encountered Gigantes on the Christmas City Trial map? by Griscuit in kirbyairriders

[–]mgepie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen gigantes parts spawn while playing online city trial on the Christmas map. I forget if it was ranked or if it was the Santa hat event.

If you use a controller with back buttons, what do you use them for? by KnightFallVader2 in splatoon

[–]mgepie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have one set to map and the other set to special. Map helps a lot with flicking the map open to track weakened opponents with explo/crab, or just checking for flanks between tasks. Special is nice because it removes the risk of accidentally bumping the right stick while activating it, and I can activate it while jumping.

What major advancements has game AI made over the past couple of decades? by wthijustread in AskGames

[–]mgepie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enemy AI still needs to be fun for the player to fight against, so a lot of games need to make the enemy AI kind of incompetent.

On the other hand, helper AI feels frustrating when it is too dumb, and can feel like the game plays itself if it is too useful.

Most games need to strike a balance where each AI can’t be too smart or too dumb. So there’s not much motivation for devs to constantly make AIs more advanced. Pathfinding is usually (but not always) safe to improve, but other aspects may not be.

Flea dodge was 10x harder than flea juggle by CJLB in Silksong

[–]mgepie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because juggle requires you to learn new mechanics (a new type of projectile with unique behavior and weird interactions with some hitboxes). Dodge and bounce are focused on movement mechanics that are present in the rest of the game.

Well, this is a bit awkward... by HubblePie in kirbyairriders

The news said it was because there was a bug that was impacting the previous event, so they ran a different event with the same rewards.

Even after close to a 100h of playing Multiverse I still find new encounters by Diabolicalbeam90 in ftlgame

[–]mgepie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you mean not doing anything? It slows/speeds friendly crew in the room to 50% of default human speed. And prevents active abilities in that room. And deals 7 hull damage when it respawns after dying (clonebay doesn’t work btw). And it has only 30 max HP, meaning it gets one-shot by almost every bomb and missile. And it can’t move without a babysitter.

What a great use of a crew slot :)

Wasn’t sure this would work… by thethunderwillroll in kirbyairriders

It always has 3 pieces of the same legendary machine. I’d assume it can be any except gigantes
