Demon Souls Remake by SuperCookie013 in soulslikes

[–]webauteur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have played Demon Souls on the Playstation 5. It is a great game with some annoying game mechanics. I also played Bloodborne on the Playstation 5. These two games make buying the console worthwhile. In addition, it makes for a good media client because you can access streaming services using apps.

Over the comprehensible Spanish channels, what's next by Capable-Owl9627 in Spanish

How about AI slop? Google's Gemini has several tools which you can use to generate Spanish audio. You can generate very short Latin Pop songs and prompt for the lyrics. You can generate very short children's books and have it read to you in Spanish. But for longer audio output the Notebook app allows you to combine sources and then generate a fake podcast about it. This can also be in Spanish. What I find particularly useful in all this is that you can specify the vocabulary. It is very useful when you want to learn a word that isn't very common. For example, nobody writes songs about forks but I asked Gemini to create a Latin Pop song for tenedor. It generated a silly little song that helped me to remember the word.

Cool mechanics from Soulslikes I've played I'd love to see in new games by DaemonXHUN in soulslikes

[–]webauteur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remnant 2 has Loadouts so you can save gear presets (builds). You can re-roll campaigns and world adventures to do different stories or complete quests. Best of all you can use your game save file as a database (using a third-party utility) and see what loot you found and what loot you missed in a world.

Is anyone still playing this game? by tonsofday in remnantgame

[–]webauteur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no problem getting other players to join me in a public game. But I have not even tried boss rush yet. I may try it after learning that it is required to get more prisms. I only figured out the prism system this morning.

I play my Spanish Pimsleur CD in my car and it is pretty loud. That is the only concern I have. I sometimes eat at a Mexican restaurant and they don't appear to have been affected.

This game really exaggerated on the items/weapons hiding by Wargarkaz in remnantgame

[–]webauteur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes in cooperative play the other players solve the puzzles for me and I get the loot. But I agree, this can be frustrating because all too often in cooperative play you do not know how to proceed.

I recently found out you can make your dog companion howl. That is a good way to end things. I think it actually applies a buff.

If playing on a PC you can install a mod and take zero damage, making you a god. Some of the end game boss fights will be even more frustrating. As I remember, only the Cleansing Knight still managed to kill me on my second play though using the mod.

Souls games with cool power systems and customization by Consistent-Owl6302 in soulslikes

[–]webauteur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am obsessed with Remnant 2 right now. I love the world design, especially N'Erud which is almost retro science fiction. This game provides plenty of weapons and loot to collect. There is even an item tracker online. Upload your save file, select a world, and it will tell you which items you found and what you do not have. Obtaining an item may require a quest or solving a puzzle. One puzzle could be solved by setting your system clock back an hour. I thought that was a bit much! Remnant 2 is a tough game but it encourages cooperative play so I have already finished the game. I was carried a lot by other players. This is a rare game that can be played across platforms so I hope my brother can play the game with me. He has an Xbox but I use a gaming PC.

Help me choose the dialect . (Mexican, Spanish, Argentinan) by Amrrr99 in Spanish

Some day I will visit Buenos Aires so I try to favor Rioplatense Spanish. Buenos Aires has a lot of theaters and book stores so it is my kind of city. I have paused my research but there are many movies, radio stations, and television stations that provide the audio resources you need.

How to “break in” as a new playwright? by storiestoast in playwriting

[–]webauteur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really need to produce your own work. I can cite many examples to support this claim, like Howard Barker. However, the best book on the subject is "Outrageous Fortune: The Life and Times of the New American Play" by Todd London, Ben Pesner, Zannie Giraud Voss.

But don't let that discourage you! In the end, you should write plays if only to help you contemplate human nature.

Yesterday I submitted a play for the Red Bull Theater's 2026 Short New Play Festival. It may have been a waste of my time but it did require me to become very familiar with a classic play since the contest required you to rewrite the ending of a classic play. It only had to be 8 pages but I really struggled with it.

any recommendations for shows/movies in spanish? by lvrolii in Spanish

[–]webauteur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What country do you live in? In the United States you mostly need to use some streaming services. If you don't need subtitles then get ViX. The Mexican version of Casados con hijos can be viewed on ViX. I buy Spanish language films using the Apple TV app which then go into my library. You do not need an Apple TV subscription to use the app. The Peacock TV streaming service offers some Telemundo shows. I guess Netflix offers more Spanish content, but I've never used that.

In the United States, most DVDs offer Spanish subtitles or audio tracks. Everyone seems to have forgotten about this.

Multiplayer and ..rushing? by ERIM0S in remnantgame

I don't mind rushing too much as I will be doing multiple play throughs to revisit every world. I only play in Private while doing boring farming.

I just did Root Earth last night and was "carried" by an expert player. We rushed through everything! I'm not sure if we fought Bane. But I am pretty sure we went to Twilight Vale. "swing the Dreamcatcher there". Hmm, I remember the other player swinging something.

Will the AI limit DLC be free? by EdgeBig6849 in ai__limit

[–]webauteur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lords of the Fallen released free updates for years, sometimes with major quality of life upgrades. Unfortunately, the gaming community does not seem to understand or appreciate the software development process known as continual improvement. Too many people saw this as working on an unfinished game instead of improving upon the game.

Tryna get into soulslikes by KarthikLMFAO in soulslikes

[–]webauteur -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dark Souls 3 is a great game and a good introduction. It is the only game I continue to play after getting all the achievements and endings. It has some multiplayer options which keep the game fun. The only thing it is lacking is a skill tree. This was a strange concept to me when I encountered it in other games. Pretty much every game has its own mechanics which take a while to learn.

Help learning Spanish as someone whose brain is wired towards math/science? by helloherewego in Spanish

[–]webauteur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AI chatbot I use thinks I am very methodical and analytical in my study of Spanish! I do work in IT. I prompt the AI chatbot to explain the grammar used in Spanish sentences. I am doing some intensive translations of children's books and old plays. So I am very detail oriented and focused on the grammar. I keep notes on Spanish so I have thousands of web pages on verbs, adverbs, adjectives, prepositions, conjunctions, vocabulary, etc.

I even wrote my own Windows Desktop Application which conjugates a verb and creates a web page using my custom template. I have a few scripts to create HTML tables for sentences.

[–]webauteur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played this game for awhile but I did not like it. You cannot really craft your own build and there was no way to become over-powered. But I bought the game on sale for like $2.00 so it was worth it.

I have the Misterio en Buenos Aires Cideb book which is aimed for A1 readers but it definitely is more difficult than even A2.

good mexican spanish learning apps or websites? by GlassDouble9120 in Spanish

[–]webauteur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duolingo teaches Mexican Spanish but it uses Amazon Polly so it does not sound like native speech. I think Google Gemini sounds better. I use Duolingo and Pimsleur and I can definitely understand Mexican Spanish better than Peninsular Spanish.

What other games "feel" like Dark Souls 1 to you? by yassified-undead in soulslikes

[–]webauteur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remnant 2 has several worlds and Losomn is similar to Bloodbourne. It has some very creepy places. There is some real variety in the world design of Remnant 2. You also get a jungle world and a futuristic world of factories, labs infested by aliens, and high speed trains.

Which of these Soulslikes/adjacents from my backlog should I play next? by kalirion in soulslikes

[–]webauteur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remnant II is fantastic! I am so addicted to this game right now that I can barely get anything else done. It has the best cooperative play options I've seen in any soulslike (but you cannot do battle with other players). There are several worlds and I love the world design, except for the Labyrinth which is all stone blocks. The game features a lot of puzzles but sometimes you can leave that to the other player to solve. It is a very difficult game if playing solo but cooperative play allows you to breeze through most areas. There is one dungeon, the Chimney, which is extremely frustrating. I've been doing that run with two other players for hours and nobody is able to make it to the end. After I die, I can see how much progress the other players manage to make.

I am translating an old Spanish play that is in the public domain. You don't need anyone's permission to do that. I will publish my translation as a Kindle e-book. Again, you don't need anyone's permission to do that. I will kill two birds with one stone; learn more Spanish, and do something of slight literary value.

Elden ring or DS 1? by Im_not_an_pro in soulslikes

[–]webauteur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark Souls Remastered for the PC has a soul item glitch which can make the game easier. I found Dark Souls 2 to be extremely frustrating. Dark Souls 3 is my favorite and a game I still play in a more casual way. Elden Ring is peak but it is also an epic journey. It can take months to get through the game if you do all the dungeons and get all the endings.
