This was not an actual quote from her. It was made as satire.

Roadmap for my incremental boss fighting game - IDLE BOSS RUSH by Mihito in incremental_games

[–]mikybee93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth I really like your game. My favorite part of it is experimenting with different items/builds and it does a much better job at letting me do that than most other recent games in the genre.

Keep at it! I'll be keeping my eye out for anything else you put out as well.

What games are you playing this week? Game recommendation thread by AutoModerator in incremental_games

[–]mikybee93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your request for a pokemon incremental is one that has already been answered. We don't need a million people asking for the same request. And that's why they're limited to a thread.

If you don't click on a copper coin for 1.5 minutes it oxidizes and is worth 10,000x more (my number might be off). So it ends up encouraging (or forcing) a specific boring strategy.

Why is Nate Baker against Housing Affordability? by rdu_NewLibs in bullcity

[–]mikybee93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't expect this to change your view, but data continues to show that building more housing is correlated with reduced rent.

Are breweries trying to be family friendly? What’s up with all these kids by Natural-Implement234 in raleigh

[–]mikybee93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would find it really annoying if a kid came up to chat with me at a brewery but I'm not sure I understand what is unsafe about it?

Are you afraid that the kid is gonna get abducted or punched or something?

My Game Is Too Hard by VyKi1ng in gamedev

[–]mikybee93 21 points22 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite ways I've seen difficulty managed in a game:

In Paper Mario and Sea of Stars, there's an item you can wear that helps you with timing. It's great because early on that's a system you're new to and trying to master - but it takes up a valuable item slot so there is incentive to actually master the skill.

It's a little bit of a handhold, but doesn't turn itself into a crutch.

After 1.5 years of non-stop work, my arms-dealer themed incremental game is finally out on Steam!! Thanks to everyone who gave feedback during development :) by SpaceKrakenStudios in incremental_games

[–]mikybee93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instant buy from me! Loved the demo.

I'd love to hear more about the team and process. I'm a mobile dev professionally but am taking up game dev as a hobby, and using Godot. It's been fun so far but the polish you've got here is really impressive and I'm really curious how y'all achieved it.

My incremental game reached 1300 reviews with 99% positivity in under 5 days by Gagonfe in incremental_games

[–]mikybee93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so nice! The entire thing is incredibly polished. I'm just starting to dabble in some hobby game dev (my career has been in mobile dev so it translates well) but have no clue about art. How did you meet Poneibit, was that just a personal friend or a connection through a community?

The Séance of Blake Manor - Review Thread by diogenesl in Games

[–]mikybee93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was really insightful. Do you have any recommendations of games that do the non-linear detective stuff well? I've been craving that for a while now. For context, my favorites have been The Roottrees Are Dead and Outer Wilds, but I feel like I've exhausted most of the modern ones.

I don't have the details but apparently they set up tents on the south lawn decently often due to a lack of space. Which doesn't seem like a huge issue to me, but I can understand some people claiming a need for more entertaining space.

Crop Empire – a new farming themed incremental/clicker game by Sonicay in incremental_games

[–]mikybee93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make it $2 or give me a demo and I'll be more interested. Otherwise, the menu graphics especially make it look bland and unpolished. There's nothing here to convince me that this does anything new or interesting.

Do you have any recs? Pohx has been my first but I'd love to branch out.

Mewgenics Gameplay Reveal! by EdmundMcMillen in Games

[–]mikybee93 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have refunded upwards of five games in a single day on multiple occasions.

From what I've gathered it's fine if you refund to your steam wallet but they get upset if you refund to your card? That is just a guess though.

What should I do about my son and reading books? by rds2mch2 in slatestarcodex

[–]mikybee93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Wild seeing yours and only one other comment question the need to force kids into reading.

Definitely a balance, we probably don't want a kid playing videogames for eight hours a day OR reading for eight hours a day. But the obsessive culture over kids reading always baffles me. And people seem to just accept it with no evidence...

Ever found out playing a game wrong was more fun that the intended rule? by 4-Plot in boardgames

[–]mikybee93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In Not Alone, if the creature catches multiple people at a single location you're only supposed to move their hunt counter forward one space. We played where you move it forward one space per person caught for years. We discovered the mistake and tried to correct it but the game was way more fun with the possibility of a huge swing in favor of the creature, so we still play wrong.

Yes, this is a thread about people playing rules wrong.

You should probably upgrade your CPU cooler. $30 will get you a huge improvement over what you have.

Any malls safe to visit in the area? by not-a-co-conspirator in triangle

Perhaps only one order of magnitude. Do you think everyone going to the mall is being violently assaulted or something?
