What about elixir?

I don’t remember phones being allowed in school ever

When did phones no longer become banned in school?

I think elevators are fixed height. You go underground once. Then when you’re about to go back up again you end up going down instead. So now you’re down 2 levels. But you never go back up 2 more elevators so the ground level when you get back up way lower than the ground at the start.

Is it business critical if it can be done elsewhere for cheaper/free?

Think about how many people you know on your life that are gamers. Then also think about the gamers that are in the know about shit like this. It’ll be pretty slim unless you’re terminally online.

Right post there chief

I’ve not seen permadeath be something inherent to metroidvanias.

Also I understand that the benches are part of the difficulty but I also feel like it’s slightly inflated because of the annoyance of doing so.

When I die in such games, all I can think about is the time I just wasted or am about to waste. No matter how good a game is, my life on this earth is too short and there are other games of the same quality or higher that I can play that will respect my time much better.

I mean it happened to me a few times when exploring. I don’t know the names of the places. It was still kinda early on. I think the last place I tried to enter was the mushroom place? And i kept dying in there then had to travel what felt like half of a full zone to get back there because i had yet to find a bench in there.

I’ve been playing a little bit of final fantasy tactics on the PS1 on my little RG34XX (The GBA looking one)

There’s plenty of moments in hollow night where it can be way more than just 3 screens. Especially when you’re exploring places for the first time and doing know where the next bench will be (I felt like there was no way near enough benches too).

It’s what made me eventually drop the game. I didn’t find it hard, I just could not be arsed. Felt like a waste of time when I’ve got so many other games bI could be playing instead of playing the same 10-15 minutes of gameplay over and over again.

I love metroidvanias too. One of my favourite genres.

Bit annoyed at this because I’ve yet to see it.

Also I feel like it would’ve been better to keep it as thunderbolts* that way the rename happens during the film as you watch it instead.

What you on about, the ending is great? It’s dumb sure. But it perfectly suits the film and Monty python in general in my opinion

Socialism != Communism though

It’s okay to say you’re a socialist but too not like communism.

I for one really like socialist policies like national healthcare which I get in the UK etc. But I don’t think full communism is the way to go for a modern society. Plus the track record of every time a country tries to head towards full communism, the door is left wide open for a dictator, and someone takes it.

Yeah I’ve never had a great time with it when it involves moving the screen you’re using ie the switch, vita and wii u. But still find the precision much better than stick alone.

You’ve got to remember that the gyro is just for precision movements, not the wide spread sweeps (outside of occasional reactionary ones). The stick should still be the primary way to move the camera. Like, stick to position to the enemy, then gyro to precisely aim for the head, kind of deal.

And just like mouse and stick sensitivity, everyone will have their preferred sensitivity for gyro to, which can take a little bit of experimenting to begin with when trying it out properly for the first time.

Don’t strike it out completely yet. You might just want it to be at a lower sensitivity and still prioritise the stick and just use the gyro for those small readjustments.

Don’t be pedantic, if you’re not an idiot you’d have known exactly what they meant.

You can hone in on its sensitivity too by the way. I know find it hard when I pay a console game without gyro. Ever since splatoon I’ve not looked back. I don’t understand why people are so averse to trying it. In my eyes it’s better than using a mouse, because then you still have all of the other benefits of a controller like analog movement etc.

The only ones i know of are the top end Xbox and PlayStation controllers which are exorbitantly expensive, especially when all you want is extra buttons.

I also have had issues with my standard dualsenses Bluetooth not acting great when using my Bluetooth headphones at the same time (which are also made by Sony)

Because they’re all shit, each current controller has some kind of downside when wanting to configure it for games.

Either Steam input doesn’t recognise extra buttons, or the ones that do have issues with being Bluetooth only.

I’ve tried the vader 3 which was great, but unrecognised so needed extra software to remap for each game which was never as simple as steam input and required me to use a mouse and keyboard which isn’t great with a htpc setup.

And then recently I’ve tried the horipad for steam, this is almost perfect except for only two back paddles, the face buttons being weirdly shaped so the some of them stick when pressing them and the Bluetooth is shitty.

If steam input allowed the full use of generic controllers instead of ones that have been explicitly set up, I’d have no issues, I’d be able to find the one for me. But because they don’t do that, I’m waiting for the steam controller 2 because a full layout just like the steam deck would be the dream.

Where did you get that from?
