- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
I’m about 10 hours into silksong and it’s amazing, don’t get me wrong. But the majority of the boss fights seem… cheap?
Like, their difficulty doesn’t come from their various attacks, or their environment. Instead, it usually comes from the fact that they do double damage, or the fact that they spam the same two attacks over and over way too quickly, or the fact that they can do the same add summon three times in a row and make what was a controllable situation practically impossible
Now, I’ve 112% the OG hollow knight and beaten true radiance, so I’m not against difficult boss fights. In fact I relish the feeling of learning their moves and patterns after every single death
But when the moves are “ram into wall. Then ram into wall again” it becomes incredibly annoying

I can’t remember their names, but there are a few shows like that. They’re more fetish-esque than anything though, unlike the above who are in more so regular shows/games

- Comment on Shenmue III Enhanced announced for PS5, Xbox Series, Nintendo, and PC 4 weeks ago:
I played maybe ~5 hours of shenmue 3 and thought the core gameplay loop actually seemed pretty fun
The problem arises from all the bullshit they strung along it
Like how you have a set amount of energy you can use each day (which I like) combined with how you can spend that energy to run. This results in you being heavily incentivised to walk around at a snail’s pace for most of the early game at the very least
The game had so many design choices like this that were just baffling

First diablo game I played was 3 years ago, and I thought it was fine. Booted it up for a couple hours then never again
Currently playing through diablo 2, and holy moly is it good

Okay, but when I see a relatively small box next to a drink, my first thought isn’t “damn, that’s referring to a poor white person”

- Comment on Minecraft and Terraria each fit the other game's title better than their own. 2 months ago:
Ngl I honestly prefer terraria over minecraft. You still get a nice feeling of exploration and can build really cool structures, while having a more concrete overall goal
Unless you start counting servers and mods (which I would argue is unfair), terraria gives you a more complete and fulfilling journey

- Comment on Study finds smartphone bans in Dutch schools improved focus 2 months ago:
Yes, but there’s a huge degree of bias whenever you ask people anything. Obviously teachers are going to think phones are detrimental to class focus, and thus they’re more likely to say their ban helped with that same focus
Same thing If you asked students, but reversed

Fahrenheit temperature scale, scale based on 32° for the freezing point of water and 212° for the boiling point of water, the interval between the two being divided into 180 equal parts. The 18th-century physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit originally took as the zero of his scale the temperature of an equal ice-salt mixture and selected the values of 30° and 90° for the freezing point of water and normal body temperature, respectively; these later were revised to 32° and 96°, but the final scale required an adjustment to 98.6° for the latter value.

Ah, so 32° is when an unknown concentration of human brine freezes, and 98.6° is the average human temperature

- Comment on Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosis 2 months ago:
Bit misleading. Tumour-associated antigens can very easily be detected very early. Problem is, these are only associated with cancer, and provide a very high rate of false positives
They’re better used as a stepping stone for further testing, or just seeing how advanced a cancer is
That is to say, I’m assuming that’s what this is about, as i didnt rwad the article. It’s the first thing I thought of when I heard “cancer in bloodstream”, as the other options tend to be a bit more bleak

The best tutorials are ones that are fun to play both on your first time and subsequent playthroughs
Something like portal, hollow knight or hades

Okay, but slowing everybody down by five seconds doesn’t smooth anything at all. It just shifts the curve five seconds to the right
- Comment on GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins 3 months ago:
I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would run ads. I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would limit download speeds
I cannot fathom for any non greed-ridden reason as to why a website would make you wait five seconds before downloading a mod. It’s an inconvenience for the sake of an inconvenience, a problem they made to sell the solution
Of course, we need to keep in mind that they don’t make the mods, they merely host them. Compare the amount of bloat on their website to other, less funded ones such as lovers lab and gamebanana, and it becomes apparent that there’s a money sink somewhere

Because nexus mods is woeful, and their gradual enshittification isn’t a good sign
