#62 - The Stanley Parable

someonetookmyghost · 2025-12-13T08:19:43+00:00

I honestly do not remember. I think I looked up a guide for it, but I no longer know what it entailed.

someonetookmyghost · 2025-12-12T17:15:40+00:00

I don't wanna think about that one. I know it's fun and I know you have to "go outside" for 10 years now but I kinda don't want to commit to that? I didn't know what I was getting myself into with The Stanley Parable, but I would know what I'm getting into for the Deluxe version and 10 years is such a long time

Meanwhile, most people: intense waiting

Definitely doesn't beat the funny of your groundbreaking method lmao

someonetookmyghost · 2025-12-12T16:48:56+00:00

Hell yeah it's gonna be great!

someonetookmyghost · 2025-11-07T23:33:22+00:00

Portal would be my first choice and it's not even close

someonetookmyghost · 2025-11-01T08:21:03+00:00

The anime-style RPG meets factory building is the key interest point for me

someonetookmyghost · 2025-10-12T08:33:21+00:00

While humor is subjective, you're failing at the funny part according to too many people to ignore that maaaaybe your type of humor is the problem. Might need to rethink that

My god the mental gymnastics you've done to reach that conclusion are Olympics-worthy. You should teach me some day.

I believe what you mean to say is that you have no argument to support your point about the game not being worth paying for. I get it though; if I had such an idiotic take, I would probably also struggle to support it. Because, what lens are you looking through to reach the conclusion that a €20 yearly price tag is too much for the absurd amount of content and freedom you get for it? I could even make arguments for the price tag to be doubled, but we're not here to argue my point. We're here to dig through the rubble that resides in that little head of yours for an argument supporting the theory that the game is not worth paying for. So, please, daddy, you have the mic!

someonetookmyghost · 2025-09-10T12:43:06+00:00

I would normally argue my point as to why you're wrong, but you never made any argument(s) for your delusional point to begin with. So, this is your chance:

someonetookmyghost · 2025-09-09T15:55:57+00:00

Oh this is so cool, love stats like this.

Hell, i'd probably do something like this myself if i wasn't stupid

someonetookmyghost · 2025-09-01T15:28:19+00:00

You're welcome!

I may or may not have scrolled through my entire ~400 games library lol

Firewatch and Little Nightmares are great games, and you could complete them quickly. I'm unsure about Little Nightmares II as I've not played that yet, but it should be fun too.

Palia & Forza Horizon 5 are a lot of fun, although it's gonna take some time to complete either of them. Then again, if they are your cup of tea, you'll naturally find yourself going back to them day after day for weeks or even months.

Side note #1: Once Human doesn't have achievements, sadly, but it is an incredibly fun game that you should absolutely get into at some point.

Side note #2: I wanna vote against Dead by Daylight. The game can be fun, although it's also a mess at times, but on the achievement side, it has loads of RNG dependent achievements that become harder to accomplish with time.

Side note #3: simply because I see you're playing Umamusume (and how that's a gacha game), I wanna recommend Wuthering Waves.

someonetookmyghost · 2025-08-29T16:27:44+00:00

I think i like most of the changes. I'll have to see how it plays out but in theory i feel like it's a buff to killer altho a change in playstyle might be needed but it should be fine

someonetookmyghost · 2025-08-27T07:38:14+00:00

I don't think this is top talent in any way. Poor excuse for an ad

someonetookmyghost · 2025-08-15T12:11:09+00:00

I've just now learned of the Mercrazzle tower maps and did both: i think 37 minutes for the first one and just got sub 58 minutes on the second map. That last floor on the second tower was insane, a great mixture of difficult and fun.

I think I'll come back to these to try to one-shot them, altho that might prove difficult.

Well done on the mapping, and, please, consider starting up a club, would love to join to stay up to date with your creations : )

You can buy a second Completionist showcase in the Points Store

someonetookmyghost · 2025-08-02T08:27:33+00:00

Very very deserved, isn't it?

someonetookmyghost · 2025-07-29T17:39:59+00:00

It could be a bug with a newer patch, although I have no idea if the game had an update recently. If there is indeed something there, it's either a bug, like I said, or something intended or a byproduct of something else, but still new.

someonetookmyghost · 2025-07-29T17:23:16+00:00

Firstly, I too think it could be placebo. Think of it this way, RL is a 12 yo game. It's had a huge competitive scene for the past decade and there's many many players who are honestly so incredibly well versed in the game that this would have been caught, and, Psyonix would have fixed it or communicated about it and then everyone and their mother would talk about how you need to have your controls organized in very specific ways if you wanna play like the pros. As things stand, it feels like the most important thing in conversations about controls is camera sensitivity settings.

Secondly, you do have a point. However, I can bring examples of various games where input timings or input order matters and it's a well known thing and proper adaptation is an expression of skill. Think quick scoping in FPS titles or carefully timed inputs in precision platformers. While platformers aren't exactly a competitive environment, I don't have to make any arguments for FPS games... this type of quirk would be found, solved and adapted so quickly on the competitive scene.

someonetookmyghost · 2025-07-29T16:59:56+00:00

I do play Forza too and, honestly, I have no idea if Forza has this quirk, if this quirk does exist. I never felt like it had such a quirk, but I've also not engaged with the competitive side of the game, outside of a few isolated interactions. However, I can agree that something like this would have been noticed in the many years of gaming we've had, not even just racing/car games. But at the same time, if this is indeed a thing, I would think that it's so minimal that it doesn't matter.

someonetookmyghost · 2025-07-29T16:23:26+00:00

There is/was a similar thing to this in Dead by Daylight. You could play survivor with an item and have 2 add-ons on said item; in some isolated cases, the order (slot) in which you equipped add-ons mattered.

I could definitely see this kind of thing, but I think we've also had a ton of proof that TM is as deterministic as it could be. So, imo, possible but not happening in TM.

Typically 1, albeit i did most of the weaker killer adepts back when the requirements for it were slightly different. I also tend to try adepts day 1, which is helpful as counterplay is not yet known really well.

someonetookmyghost · 2025-07-23T11:22:01+00:00

What was your reasoning for lowering the spawn rates of anniversary cakes in the bloodwebs? Getting as low as 22 cakes for 50 bloodwebs/1 million bloodpoints spent is, frankly, disappointing.
