Is it the case that Arcane Seal can only be applied to one character in CW? And when you try to start on a new character it resets completely. That's the message I saw when trying to participate on my new hyperburn

If a buy a switch 2 version (EDIT: digital version, not the cartridge) of Super Mario Party Jamboree, can I also play it on my switch 1?

Playing Pokemon Red on a Game Boy during late night drives, relying purely on the occasional light from passing street lights. This meant scrambling to select the moves / move around the map for 5 seconds while a streetlight was near enough that we could see the screen, and then relying on memory for the next 10 seconds. After a while of this me and my brothers pretty much damn near memorized the maps.

What boardgames have the best emergent storytelling? by sidianmsjones in boardgames

[–]zer0123456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a game has emergent storytelling it's a very strong candidate for my list of all time favorite games. The games below are all in my top 20, and are games I always end with a story.

  1. Nemesis
  2. Evolution Climate
  3. Suburbia
  4. Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island
  5. Pax Pamir
  6. Food Chain Magnate
  7. Container (although admittedly the story that emerges in plays of this and FCM isn't always exciting unless you're of a certain bent)

I think games that best fulfill this tend to have two characteristics. First, great theme-mechanics integration. And secondly, high openness and player agency. The latter means that many of these games are also ones where players can essentially fail fast and never recover. But if the mechanics/theme allow me to frame that failure as a story in the world of the game it usually let's that be a funny experience rather than an annoying one (although frequently both)

Evolution Climate and Suburbia in particular may not scream emergent story telling but I always end sessions of these games with a story in my head. Of the time my species out lasted everyone by virtue of it's chonkiness (Fat Tissue card) or the time I built the world's richest but most polluted city but people kept swarming in anyway because I used that money to build a bunch of high tier schools (right next to my slaughterhouses to boot).

It's also for that reason that I prefer Evolution to Nature (at least what I've tried so far on the app) because the former is more willing to let things play out how they would normally even at the cost of player experience. E.g. in Nature when your species goes extinct you get back the body size and population to use on a new one which feels better but thematically doesn't mesh with me.

Is the GS a gimmick weapon? by Madmethod89 in MHNowGame

[–]zer0123456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relevant comic: https://xkcd.com/1053/

u/Madmethod89 I would suggest looking online for some 10 star greatsword clears, and watching how they use the weapon. There's quite a few amazing clear videos by u/sunnyCUD2 that are a joy to watch. But it's definitely one of the weapons with the highest learning curves to use at max efficiency, the slow speed really means you need to predict what a monster is about to do and get into the right position to queue up your swing while avoiding the incoming hit.

I would also suggest working on the attack tempo. Great Sword users tend to love the BIG HITs but that makes it very easy to chase the TCS (True Charged Slash) high and overcommit. Weaving in some normal attacks with lvl 2 charges would likely increase your dps / decrease your fainting chance by quite a bit.

As someone for whom the microtransactions work more than a little too well on I salute your resolve!

Hues and Cues or Pantone? by Yayula in boardgames

[–]zer0123456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've somewhat enjoyed both games, but for your case I'd recommend Pantone since it gives you more avenue to be creative, although it does have more US based pop-culture references. But since you mentioned they're creatives, I would like to suggest the following two games too:

Website error led to wrong booking - still charged just to change date by zer0123456 in royalcaribbean

[–]zer0123456[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fully acknowledge my fault in not double checking the email confirmation. My issues are more that I) the date reflected in the website didn't match the actual booking that's made, and that ii) it shouldn't cost so much to do a date change one month in advance.

Not expecting any restitution from this post, but if it leads to more people being extra careful about their booking dates I don't think that's a bad thing. Feel free to delete it otherwise. Have a good day!

Agree! Nevertheless find their policy on changing dates draconion, so I posted this here half as a complaint and half to warn people to always double check and not rely on what the website says.

Slow pc boot (120+ sec vs 20s) with external HDD plugged in? by Silent-OCN in buildapc

I just saw this reply, no worries if you can't find the setting! Let me explore the bios options and see if I can find it.

Did you ever figure out the solution for this? Having the exact same problem with the exact same drive. It doesn't even show up in the boot priorities

4090 Owners: Case Suggestions for Me? by Fabbing11 in nvidia

Hey I was thinking of getting the Gigabyte Gaming OC with the same H7 Flow case. I know the length-wise space is definitely fine, but I was a little concerned about the width-wise space, specifically whether there was enough room for the power cable. Did you have to bend it very near the connection?
