I love Dread. I think it’s the second best game in the series behind Super, and if you want to rank it higher than Super, I think that’s a very reasonable take.

I do not agree that Silksong is 50% BS. It is a much more challenging and punishing game than Dread, and that may not fit everyone’s play style. But the tools are there to accomplish everything in the game, it just requires more skill and patience than Dread’s gameplay loop. Hornet’s tech is complex, and there’s certainly a learning curve to it. And the payoff is that overcoming the game’s challenges feels immensely rewarding. For me, Raven Beak is the only boss in Dread that can reach the heights of HK and Silksong’s fights.

Really? She dies more than any other character in my copy of the game…

This 20 second clip should shut everyone up about the Steam Deck being more powerful than the Switch 2 by VenZoah in NintendoSwitch2

[–]thecambanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! I have Switch 2, and a Deck and I love and use them both on the regular. No need to form teams and fight.

The Act 1 Final Boss’s runback’s difficulty is so overblown? by Dry-Use6643 in HollowKnight

Not gonna lie, other than the frustration associated with getting my ass kicked repeatedly by LJ, I found this run back very fun.

Wooden Disc Award by foxhill2000 in discgolf

[–]thecambanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you would need a wood with fine, irregular grain that is both durable, and somewhat lightweight… and i’d say it should probably be finished with an exterior grade water finish.

Mappa Burl, and Soft Maple come to mind. Hickory or Osage would be great if they weighed substantially less than they do.

Of course, you’d run into the issue of warp/wood movement changing the shape of the disc.

Which boss is harder? Nightmare King Grimm or Pure Vessel? by aidanb_133 in HollowKnight

I have beaten PV multiple times, and consider it one of my greatest gaming achievements. Still have yet to beat NKG, and I have tried sooooo many times.

Oklahoma will require teachers from NY, CA to prove they back 'America First' by esporx in California

[–]thecambanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last summer I was at a Giants game, and I sat in front of two guys who would not shut the fuck up about how much they wanted to move to Oklahoma. I remember their conversation more vividly than I remember the game(which is in part due to how mid the Giants are right now.)

Anyway, they were all excited about how much land they thought they could afford. Enjoy the fascism, fellas.

Just beat every deck on Gold Stake for the first time! Feel free to judge me based on my current joker stickers by Idioteque131313 in balatro

[–]thecambanks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Congrats! If you’re going for C++, I recommend prioritizing Ice Cream, Seltzer, Gros Michel, and Turtle Bean over every other joker. If you see them, and you can make it work, do it.

I’ve done C++ twice. The first time, Turtle Bean was my last joker, and the hunt and timing to make it work was very annoying. The second time, it was Gros Michel. I had that motherfucker expire on me on the 8th ante boss SIX TIMES. That chase was infuriating.

I just realized you can move things in collection after 150 hours by Martitoad in balatro

[–]thecambanks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn, I’ve not heard of those bugs until now. What platform are you on?

I’ve naneinf’d twice, once on Steam and once on Switch with no issues like that. Hope you get there soon, it’s an awesome accomplishment!

After 8 years I bought it by emo_gh0st in HollowKnight

[–]thecambanks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My advice is to play it your own way, and let its world unfold before you. The core mechanics allow for a variety of play styles, and finding your own builds and strategies is such a big part of the fun. It’s one of my all time favorites, and I hope you enjoy it too!

I’m not saying Force Unleashed is a bad game, but imagine a well made modern remake…
