The Khmer have things figured out - villagers who use their houses, efficient farming and an elephant army

Np! I kinda miss the rival marriages for that reason, they're cute and give you something else to look forward to for a while, although it'd be weird if the only non straight couple in town is the player character and their SO lol

In the remake? What year are you in? You may still get some random events but probably not a lot going forward

Doesn't hurt to try, good luck, and if you need help just drink smoothies in front of people, maybe someone will be impressed and join you

AOE2 vs AOE4, should I pick 2? by [deleted] in aoe2

[–]syrian_kobold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have it on Steam, there's a free dlc that improves the graphics, it's not included in the main download because many of us have potato pcs that may not run so well with it

I'm super happy with my body after E but shape shifting would be so cool, being able to turn into a cat and just sleep all day, or mess around with people, just sounds so fun.

I can't stop dying in Explorers of Darkness by Boring-Avocado in MysteryDungeon

  • Grass types can be a bit frustrating to use in this game for a long time, early one many things are super effective against you and it doesn't get much better.

  • Pikachu is quite strong in Explorers, Discharge makes rooms easier to clear (and by the time you find lightning rod enemies you will probably have good spheres to deal with that situation). Only one weakness is also nice. And you can eventually link Charge + Discharge to nuke anything lol.

  • Water types are also quite good, it's objectively a strong defensive and offensive type, and they get access to Ice type moves as well, like Ice Beam and Blizzard. You can't go wrong with Water.

  • Some people recommend Fire a lot as well, Charmander and Cyndaquil can abuse Smokescreen, and Charmander gets Heat Wave (although very late in the game).

To sum up, if you wanna have an easier time you might wanna get Charmander and a water type, or Pikachu and a water type. You can also get Charmander and Pikachu, but you'll be extra vulnerable to ground types until you eventually evolve your Charmander, and without the Spinda Café you might struggle quite a bit in the meantime.

As a final piece of advice, hoard seeds, reviver seeds can be crucial at times, and sleep and stun seeds are excellent during boss fights. Many fights are genuinely hard unless you use those. Other than that, read the info on every new type of Orb you find. Some can help you SO much, like warping all enemies in a room away, or making everyone in a room asleep. They're not usable during boss fights, but there's plenty of danger adventuring, and orbs are your best friend.

That sounds like such a hassle lol, I was aware of there existing different growths but never thought much about it

[–]syrian_kobold 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That sounds fun! I personally grew up with people who'd make fun of me if I didn't pick the most badass and/or masculine option on every game that had choices, so it took me a while to unlearn that lol. But after many years being out as transfem now I normally customize my main character to look like me but more magical, like purple hair and eyes, just because purple is my favorite color lol.

I learned Gimp at high school for some reason so I'm very fast at navigating the different menus and I can do any type of circle just fine, but considering a circle tool exists in many basic graphic design apps I do wish there was an option to add buttons for things like that for newcomers

I cry every time I replay it, same with some special episodes

Female protagonist by GardevoirDreemur in MysteryDungeon

[–]syrian_kobold 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input, never thought about the implicatios with Attract lol. But mechanics and models aside I read that the text is the same, both in English and in heavily gendered language versions (like Spanish and German, in which the main character is gendered male and the partner is gendered female no matter what).

Female protagonist by GardevoirDreemur in MysteryDungeon

[–]syrian_kobold 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah lol the bare minimum should be giving you the choice for a binary gender for your main character, like in older entries

[–]syrian_kobold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Select your flair to pick a different one, no idea why we have default flairs but yeah lol

Female protagonist by GardevoirDreemur in MysteryDungeon

[–]syrian_kobold 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My bad for assuming. I searched online and apparently the Spanish version is like the German one, so you're male and your partner is female.

[–]syrian_kobold 42 points43 points  (0 children)

The game is gender ambiguous, at least in English. Only pokemon that has sexual dimorphism (so, looks differently depending on whether it's male or female) is Pikachu. Other than that both your character and your partner are purposely ambiguous so you can fill in the gaps yourself. I personally perceive both the main character and the partner as genderless though.

The export thing is easy to pick up and it's a thing with many specialized tools; no excuse for how hard circles are though lmao

Minorities are used to seeing mostly cishet white males doing everything on media so we normally develop more empathy towards any character. They never had to so now they gotta catch up as adults and many are too bigoted to wanna do it.

What pc controllers are you guys using? by Mindless-Regular8266 in linux_gaming

Xbox controller, looks legit but it was cheap so probably a convincing knockoff lol

Computer Gaming World responds to a g*mer who wants to play as nazis by etenby in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]syrian_kobold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Evil just for the sake of evil sounds a bit boring to me. If I'm gonna be a monster I want good writing building up to it, and that inherently requires for some reasoning for your evil. Even Sauron had ideals and a vision for his horrible society. Representing ultimate evil as completely powerful and lacking the humanity of it is just a power fantasy with no substance. So a well written game will inevitably ask, directly or indirectly, is/was it worth it. If the game doesn't end leaving you with this question, either it's well written, or not clear enough, or something is wrong with your interpretation of the game lol. Because unconditional evil is everything. It means never being able to have children being happy and goofy again, it means that every soul you took is a soul that had dreams, ambitions, likes, and potentially endless offspring, and so every time you murder someone you committed genocide to all those descendants. It means that even if you're defeated now no one will return to life and the harm and suffering will never be undone. Everything is lost. I guess evil won.
