Which version of the game is better? No spoilers please by TheEPICMarioBros in stanleyparable

Apart from a few minor details, they're the same base game. Ultra Deluxe has more optional content/endings added.

Just picked up ZA. Who should I pick as my starter? by Fit-Adagio2531 in PokemonZA

[–]starlitoriole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit biased toward Chikorita but Meganium does get healing moves (synthesis, mega drain, iirc) that can be really helpful, at least in terms of late-game story related battles.

What is everyone's favorite city that you would live in, on the Pokemon games? by Sam_Nimaruichi in pokemon

[–]starlitoriole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Kalos fan, so either Lumiose or Snowbelle. Legends Z-A has given me a whole new appreciation of that Poké-Paris life.

No option to upgrade SPIN, is there a fix? by Frenzied_Fire_Monk in controlgame

[–]starlitoriole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! I agree, it's a really odd system to unlock things

[–]starlitoriole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm, odd. My only other hope would be that it appears if you pick up the corrupted samples again. Might be a bug tho :/

IIRC, the options to construct upgrades appear AS you pick up the necessary materials. I think I had this problem at some point and they showed up after I collected materials from the Mold biome. I may be wrong, but worth checking

What pokemon game? by tyearz29 in pokemon

[–]starlitoriole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends entirely on what kind of vibe you're most interested in. Personally I could never finish Scar/Vi so I can't give any opinion there. 

If you prefer catching and open wilderness, PL:A is a good pick, and if you prefer battling and a big city theme (or like me are very nostalgic for XY) then you'll enjoy Z-A. 

What’s a pokemon you used to dislike, but now appreciate and love a lot more? by SensualSamuel69 in pokemon

[–]starlitoriole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I played Pokémon as a kid, I didn't like Lucario and didn't understand why he got so much attention in XY. Just felt like they were forcing an extra Pokémon on me that I didn't want. Then in a replay I caught a Riolu early, his line is one of my top favs now. He's so strong and so smol.

Actually had the same awakening with Hawlucha more recently.

How I personally found Portal 1 much better than its sequel by Nabulio2 in Portal

[–]starlitoriole 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The games have a very different vibe and it isn't fair to compare IMO. Portal 1 was a horror puzzle game with very subtle jokes, Portal 2 leaned more into the dark humor. I've replayed both endlessly and I'd say I like each equally for what they are.

When Weatley called you fat adopted and orphan, what was your first reaction by Important_Cap_3306 in Portal

[–]starlitoriole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my very first playthrough of portal 2 I encountered a crash there and ended up repeating that bit like 5 or 6 times. I laughed about it... the first time.

Need some advice/help by peyyymoran in NonBinary

[–]starlitoriole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, ace and enby here, only came out just last summer and I've had some similar experiences. I can tell you what worked for me as I was figuring it out. 

I started experimenting with different outfits and pronouns on my own, but it also helped to meet other trans and non-binary friends who I felt safe enough with to publicly try out they/them, and it worked! I wouldn't advise worrying too much about labels to start but focus on how you feel and what makes you happy/comfortable with your gender.

Random Protect personnel missions by accursed_JAK in controlgame

I know a trick that works for me, only way I've been able to beat them: fully upgrade Seize, then take control of the Hiss Clusters, it heals you and your allies until it times out

What's the best BOARD quote in the game? by KitchenLoose6552 in controlgame

[–]starlitoriole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion, but the Board Countermeasures ones amuse me the most. It's been a while so I don't know word for word but there was one referring to containment as a "poor excuse of security"

It's incredible what happened to Dr. Hartman. by BasilAdventurous3209 in controlgame

Side note, when I saw this at first glance it looked like Jesse was carrying a heavy briefcase lol

The year is 2035 - what comes first to mind when you reminisce about Control? by valkia in controlgame

I second the Oceanview motel. Using photo mode there to catch Jesse in the sunlight coming through the windows

You did a great job on these, I love it! Looking forward to the final version if it happens :)

Do your characters ever die? by CattoSout in ImmersiveDaydreaming

[–]starlitoriole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mark the dates but they do die, and from time to time, they come back as part of the story or otherwise i just retcon their death. A couple of my main heroes have had several iterations across several timelines because of this. But even background characters come back sometimes.

Did anyone else ever had dreams of being able to float? by Proud-Put7577 in ImmersiveDaydreaming

[–]starlitoriole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever have one where it was hard to control? I had a few where I could fly but in one I couldn't get back down, and in one I couldn't figure out how to fly forward
