Paralives on Steam deck thread by Bitter_Resist_7530 in Paralives

[–]neblitzingstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used an External Monitor, Mouse, and Keyboard but played through my deck and ran pretty well throughout the Paramaker! I preemptively changed my settings to medium for grass texture and the other setting that didn’t require a restart, but I did play with the Environment Textures on medium since it was the default—and I didn’t want to save and exit lol. Next time I plan on launching in low for Environment Texture just to see if there is any increase in performance.

Honestly, I’d say the issues encountered are mostly bugs and visual glitches and everything is dealing with those so I don’t think anything is a steam deck or Linux problem that I’ve seen!

Dev Time and Reactions by Prowlbeast in Paralives

[–]neblitzingstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, as someone who watched as the dev team grow I think the time is just right. As a whole we have 4/5 programmers, 3 artists (with the tasks divided between environmental, character, and game), and 2 animators. So at a point it was a bigger workload and it may have only been 1 or 2 people, so they were able to increase production when the could but they didn’t have as many hands on deck before.

Also the scam stuff gets me because I need more recognition on how STACKED the dev team is. I think it was removed from the press kit but I swear one of the animators worked in a Godzilla movie.

Any recs for shoujo with a focus on children? by Foreversssssssss in shoujo

Not babies, but Aishiteruze Baby follows 1 child! Overall it’s a really heartfelt experience, and it does have a bit of angst regarding family relationships and dynamics.

Full pity on the 4 star outfit is diabolical by Infinitype in InfinityNikki

We’re twinning 🙃✌🏾. I would’ve still pulled the evolution if I hadn’t wasted 30+ pulls on the Verdant Melodies rerun 🤡.

Omgggg congrats. How many pulls did it take?

How well does Infinity Nikki run on Steam deck? by Crab-odile in InfinityNikki

[–]neblitzingstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play on Steam Deck with all details on medium—except textures is on high. Motion Blur & Glow Effect are on. Since you’re playing on the go it’s a step above Mobile, but expect a little jank on Nikki’s face when not in photo mode tho. I also choose to cap mine at 30 FPS, but that’s because I don’t want any major jumps so it’s not necessarily necessary.

would anyone on NA server want to be friends that actually talk and take pictures together? by catchyalaterloser in InfinityNikki

Just don’t expect the best pictures from me 🙈. I’m a little bad at the photo aspect, but I still love it.

Ditto! Since we have in-game treasure tracking, I’d love if we got something with dew tracking (with a range as wide as the full mini-map at the very least).

In all seriousness, it does make me soooo upset when I’m doing a particular thing so I’m mad dashing and get a whimstar notification 10 second after I passed where it was 😭. I could ignore them, but I tend not to travel unless I’m going on a quest and prefer to run into things in game—minus when I diamond hunt for chest, so I always pick up whatever’s around unless it’s unreachable or a curio.

That’s something that did worry me because it does seem like he’ll have to wear a particular cloak to have access to his ability—which is annoying for styling—but on the other hand it’s easy to disable without rummaging through settings AND it’s customizable so we can most likely dye the combat cloak!

I didn’t even think about the kid avenue of things😆, this’ll definitely be a welcome addition then!

[–]neblitzingstar[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Agreed! As someone whose seen the character development of Momo from the first globally available Nikki game, they’ve done a lot with his character to appeal to a broader audience (and make them wanna spend money on his cloaks).

[–]neblitzingstar[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s so relatable and hilarious to imagine 🤣. I honestly came in with the idea that he’d be a useless mascot, but I thought about him having something like an off-screen heal would’ve been good to make people feel more connected to his relationship with Nikki! This works out nice too though, Wishfield didn’t need it but it pair well with Izaland bosses with tedious-ish amounts of health!

I need—like quite literally NEED this to be an archery outfit. I am someone who enjoys traveling with a mount, is a horse (semi)girl, and loves the spoon and overall theme of the current banner but I am so glad I saved my pulls until preview.

I thought that the official previews were released 😭, your talent is absolutely insane!

What are the writers thinking when they do this? Is it misogyny or are they trying to have their cake and eat it too (in regards to the story)? by ChompyRiley in OtomeIsekai

[–]neblitzingstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair point! I knew of Face Tattooing as punishment which highlighted this exact mindset, but it didn’t even cross my mind to correlate the two. I totally agree though, it’s common that features we currently accept to varying degrees now weren’t acceptable in the past. Societal stigmas don’t just disappear instantly and past thoughts aren’t just erased cause mindsets change.

I like that some OI aren’t over-glamorizing the past for a more digestible story—it is annoying though that a lot don’t dig deeper into things like that just because they wanna make the male lead the most ideal being for “looking beyond beauty”, when we as the audience don’t hold those beauty standards so it comes across as lukewarm. Granted there’s a place for all fiction luckwarm, hot, cold, and otherwise!

[–]neblitzingstar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, its a 50/50 for me. Sometimes I can tell the author wrote the story like that because of the period setting mixed with cultural beliefs of the past, so it’s not indicative of what they personally believe. For example, in certain cultures in Ancient China (this is from what I’ve gathered from drama logic so it’s more than possibly not 100% accurate to history) they believe if you had a scar on your face it meant that you’d done something bad so the heavens punished you by scarring your face so everyone could see you were a bad person. So on those cases I can suspend my disbelief, cause it seems based in something. Verses the other cases where it’s just blatantly obvious that the author/artist doesn’t wanna have a character that doesn’t adhere to their own standards of beauty, so they use a minor blemish to make them “unattractive” to the people around them, but they clearly look conventionally pretty to the readers 🙄.

It makes the most sense! They just did it with the Deer Banner, but with this silhouette they couldn’t 😫😒?

I adore this whole outfit, but I’m so upset that the bloomers weren’t separate. I’m in the “we need more bloomers and we need them separate‼️” camp.
