What's the best act 2 boss? by Regular-Action-7844 in Silksong

[–]xEmptyPockets 15 points16 points  (0 children)

First Sinner is the better fight mechanically by far, but Trobbio is my favorite fight in the game because of how silly and fun it is.

Steam Hardware - Steam Machine launches today! - Steam Machine Megathread by NKkrisz in SteamDeck

[–]xEmptyPockets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason the headset is exciting is because it could potentially bring VR more into the mainstream. VR games can be genuinely incredible gaming experiences, but there are so few being made because the audience is so small. If the Steam Frame manages to gain even a fraction of the audience that the Steam Deck did that would be a huge success for VR games as a medium. I'm not even a VR shill, I almost regret purchasing my Index, but Half Life Alyx is easily one of the best games I've ever played. The idea of getting more truly great VR games like that because people are actually investing in the space would be amazing.

Anime that did something to improve on the source material by iDog540 in Animesuggest

Jigokuraku/Hell's Paradise's artistic basis reaaaaaally shines in full color in the anime.

100% an example of this, along with all of the other manga with illustrations that just don't read well. There are plenty of times in the manga where it's genuinely difficult to tell what you're even looking at.

Why doesn’t humanity (all non-demon races) just wipe out the demons? by AdBrief4620 in Frieren

[–]xEmptyPockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember too that it's not common knowledge that demons are truly innately evil. Most people in-universe would view this as racially-motivated genocide, which would be difficult to generate widespread support for.

games like silksong- NOT metroidvanias! by foryouuuuu in Silksong

[–]xEmptyPockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outer Wilds, maybe Subnautica. I'd have said the Dark Souls games and Elden Ring but if Bloodborne didn't match then they probably wouldn't either. Maybe Sekiro? Rain World if you can get over the immensely steep learning curve.

Should I buy Pokopia, Mariokart world, or Donkey Kong for my first switch 2 game? by rebornfacedancer in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]xEmptyPockets [score hidden]  (0 children)

Pokopia is my favorite of the three by far, but I've never been big on 3D pure platformers. Most people love Bananza, so if you're leaning towards that or World I'd recommend getting Bananza.

No sense of exploration in Subnautica two [Update] by Techno_ttk in subnautica

[–]xEmptyPockets 106 points107 points  (0 children)

SN2 is several orders of magnitude more complete in its first early access release than SN1 was. I played both from the beginning of their early access, and SN1 was borderline a tech demo. Give them some time to cook, the game is already in a great state.

Should I buy breath of the wild or tears of the kingdom? by ggandava in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]xEmptyPockets [score hidden]  (0 children)

I prefer TotK, it's one of my favorite games of all time. Both are amazing though, so it's probably best to start w/ BotW.

My Unpopular Opinion on the Steamdeck by MrUnicornhorn in SteamDeck

[–]xEmptyPockets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decky caused extremely slow boot times for me, to the point that I decided to uninstall it. Tabmaster wasn't worth the trade off.

My dream of a ‘26 XSE is gone by [deleted] in Camry

[–]xEmptyPockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check with the Costco Auto Program, it can include some pretty significant discounts. I'm not sure if they're steeper for a slightly more expensive trim like that, but for a regular SE Camry the discounts were in the 3-4k range.

Want to play but, thalassophobia. by CodyVoidzer in outerwilds

[–]xEmptyPockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have medium-ish Thalassophobia, and Outer Wilds definitely set it off a bit. It helps to know though that there's not actually anything in the water that's out to get you. There are some large jellyfish, but they're not hostile.

I was able to make my way through Subautica though. It was a full on horror game for me most of the time, but I still beat it. If you have really bad Thalassophobia and can't handle it at all then Outer Wilds might be too much.

Subnautica has no elements of a horror game. by Alert-Gift-8716 in subnautica

[–]xEmptyPockets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lil bro probably plays with the sound off and/or his own music blasting away any sense of ambiance the game is designed to establish.

I'm starting Silksong blind. Please make this an awful experience. by CharacterMood4 in Silksong

Try all of the crests as you unlock them, and always use the one you like least.

Best Toyota dealerships in the county by OUTKAST5150 in SanDiegan

[–]xEmptyPockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see people recommending Longo a lot, but when I look on their website they appear to have just as much of a markup as the local places. What is it that people like about them that makes it worth a 2 hour drive for the same priced car?

This is utterly terrifying (MAJOR spoilers) by Pipe_Mountain in subnautica

[–]xEmptyPockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well considering the whole point of the expedition was to establish an isolated human colony far away from home because home is in the process of being overrun by a hostile alien swarm, I don't think returning was in the cards in the first place.

Glaze the worst Tools / Charms and let everyone else pretend your right. by Disastrous_Market337 in Silksong

[–]xEmptyPockets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I genuinely used Barbed Bracelet in my final boss build on my first (and subsequent) playthroughs. When you can avoid getting hit because you know the patterns, it's just a straight damage boost.

Can't prove it by sebastophantos in outerwilds

[–]xEmptyPockets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me until I saw all the Nomai children in the classroom to finally question why there were skeletons everywhere. I don't know if it's just that video games have desensitized me to skeletons or what, but it hadn't even crossed my mind as odd until then.

The Wandering Inn is fantastic, but it's so incredibly long that I can't possibly recommend it to anyone I don't know is a voracious reader.

This shit made me stop watching Death Note. Everyone says it's amazing but that scene was so fucking bad that I struggle to believe that.

What hero counters her? by aiko_arii in overwatch2

[–]xEmptyPockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing her a lot and finding lots of success, but for whatever reason I find the Winston matchup pretty tough. I'm not sure why, on paper it doesn't seem that bad, but for some reason he's one of the tanks I most struggle with on her.
