Nice masterbation chart. Not surprised you didn't finish to stronghold, not the most conducive game for that Kappaa

Who here is playing Silksong on-release?
same
I'm assuming there will be more hidden content than the 1st game had, so if other people are playing it and want to compare notes or w/e, just wanted to figure out who else was playing
it's a weird feeling logging into old accounts
13 years since BL2
Yes (no)
12 is what, 7th grade
that's a hard age
The battle for bikini bottom remake is a solid 3d platformer
Maybe, but idk the kid, so I'm thinking of "what's a good game I could recommend to almost anyone"
I'm with Gent, I feel like those classic games you can pick up for $10-$15 are pretty good
Dishonored etc.
but if he's too wholesome, then something like Ni no Kuni 2 is a perfect all-ages type of game
nah
Oh, you could respec his autism into skyrim
I like how big the 2nd game is, and I liked all of the subgames/minigame mechanics it had
but I played it before playing 1, so I'm biased

I went back through and actually finished Nine Sols
the game really falls apart in the 2nd half
I had stopped at the 5th boss of 9 when I played the first time, and thought the game was pretty good up to that point
turns out the game peaks at the 4th boss, late game combat and "story" are pretty meh
OST is good
it's Hollow Knight, but built around parrying everything, works for a while but late-game combat REALLY tedious
I'd also say that for a metroidvania, it doesn't do a great job of non-linearity
the game feels more open than it actually is, in terms of progression it's fairly linear even if you can explore small parts of stages in any order
I don't think this is a spoiler
the 3-phase dream fight was where I stopped the first time, meant to get back into it and finish but never did
yeah Lady Ethereal
I liked the boss before her
oh, S-tier theming and arena for sure
and the platforming dream section before it was pretty good too
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I liked the boss before her (edited)
He was cool, very glad I messed up and wasn't able to nerf him because the challenge wasn't too bad.
I purposefully didn't
felt lame to ruin his fight after all the buildup
for Lady Ethereal, unless there was some mechanic I missed, it took upwards of 10 minutes to have a run going into her 3rd phase without getting lucky

I don't like to say it, but... skill issue.
I was able to get through her phases very quickly once I learned the tricks. Very enjoyable.
