@AphrahAshe @The24thFrame you're right. misremembered. silksong is the same as hk

@bitsymphony @The24thFrame I've yet to play Silksong, but Hollow Knight didn't use Estus. To be Estus, it would have had to recharge at rest spots, which was an endgame bonus in HK, not a default. HK instead had a kind of MP system. Silksong could be different, I'll need to play it.

They are both Soulslikes and MetroidVanias. Why can’t they can be both? What is the argument otherwise?

@AymZerrouki @asrielle_ nothing wrong with it

@asrielle_ Yeesh... Imagine being player 2 for the rest of your life

brother and i got matching tattoos

@LeoRandger what about mario rpg games

I’m sure that Expedition 33 is as good as they say but I’m sorry, I just can’t entertain the concept of an active parry in a turn based rpg. It goes against everything I believe in

@Solo86B maybe 7?

@bitsymphony Great guess... but the answer is only 6...

How many red lights do you think Batman has run driving in his car?

why do spiders just bite you once and then leave. they're so cute

@AphrahAshe @The24thFrame that and estus flask and bench that respawns enemies. but they're all kind of just borrowed mechanics and I don't think the game would fundamentally be different if other drop in mechanics were used

@The24thFrame I personally wouldn't call them Soulslike because the only mechanic they share in common is collecting your money after death. Remove that and they're just standard Metroidvanias.

@PandaKingEX how talos principle 2 does it is pretty ideal. comms that play overtop of whatever you're doing that don't interrupt you

What is peoples preferred method of dialogue delivery? Just stopping and talking? Chat bubbles?

@fortayee nice bait

It is funny that the idea of “gameplay loops” has become so ingrained that a ton of designers are deliberately making repetitive boring games

@cynog @BenjiGameDev are you sitting down?

@BenjiGameDev Its a Fun game, who cares where the assets came from, as long as they wernt stolen.

the game that declared AI assets has 6k reviews?

@genscartridges @its_mirrors close. that's mario

@its_mirrors link??

Super Mario 64 if Miyamoto LISTENED to the indie dev time travelers and used PSX.shader

@RivenMusicPro @MikeyMacDee @gotmadbread @nullparse @Devon_Eriksen_ you did. where did 2 come from?

@MikeyMacDee @gotmadbread @nullparse @Devon_Eriksen_ Im not injecting information that wasn't specifically asked for by adding coefficients or other factors that weren't provided. I used what was there to reach the specific answer requested.

This is why IQ tests don't work too well on really smart people. Because sorta smart people tend to give the expected answer. And really smart people tend to point out that the question is wrong, and start arguing with the test, or trying to correct it, thereby making the test impossible to grade and annoying everyone. The expected answer to this is 72. Because 2*2*2 = 8 and 5*5*2 = 50, so 6*6*2 = 72. But the (really) correct answer is "I don't know." Because what you have is two points on a 3 dimensional graph (x,y) -> z. z = 2*x*y is one surface that can be drawn through these two points. And I suspect it's the simplest formula for a surface that can be so drawn, although I haven't bothered to check. But an infinite number of contiguous surfaces can be drawn in three dimensions that encompass these points (2,2,8) and (5,5,50). Each of these surfaces can be described by its own formula. Some of them will also touch (6,6,72). But others of them will touch (6,6, {something else entirely}) instead. This might sound really, really pedantic. But it's not. Everyone knows that the expected answer is the simple one, but that's only on a test... a fake artificial made up problem. When we start trying to do this in the real world, which, after all is what this "IQ" thing is actually for, then using the same kind of "IQ test thinking" can get you in trouble. "My 3-month-old son is now TWICE as big as when he was born. He's on track to weigh 7.5 trillion pounds by age 10." -@pronounced_kyle Fitting the simplest-formula curve, as opposed to the correct curve, makes our predictions of real-world stuff dead wrong. So this kind of test question promotes a dangerous habit of thought. But, Devon, I hear some of you ask, doesn't the principle of Occam's Razor demand that we fit the simplest curve? No. No, it does not. It does not require that we select the simplest possible answer, given what we have currently seen. It requires that we prefer hypotheses that make fewer assumption to those that make more. These are two different things entirely. If I see one black sheep, the simplest hypothesis is that all sheep are black. The hypothesis requiring the fewest assumptions is that at least one sheep is black on at least one side. You will note which of these is correct. All of this is, of course, irrelevant to questions on IQ test. But questions on an IQ test only matter as much as they are relevant to the actual universe... Where ideas like this are very relevant indeed.

@mushroomfromgd literally all those things are positive

Acting like this is a bad thing lmfao

@rotciVArt it is funny. just like smashing that one guy's head into all the urinals in that one level

uma pessoa normal acharia graça disso mas o gamer moderno é alérgico a diversão

@Meelsie143 they are though, it's not an opinion. a ski jump is art. a tree is art. the way you make coffee is art

I think video games are art but I understand why people disagree and am increasingly sympathetic

@docmartimcfly @TokiDotMori now I want to say it

@bitsymphony @TokiDotMori i think op just wanted to say the phrase molest my dopamine receptors

I'm gonna start saying this about any random game mechanic when a game mildly annoys me Platformers and such never really clicked with me because I can tell when a shitty game is trying to molest my dopamine receptors with its "level design" or whatever

@canceled4truth that sentence does go crazy though

Normalize replying to things with “That sentence 😍”

@JavaidUsama I hate it for intelligent reasons

Hating on Witcher 3 only cuz of the combat is a sign of low intelligence

@W2seven11 @tqsura ok but a lot of the time people WANT to be your friend. it's a lot worse in your own head

@tqsura I feel like a pick me slut every time I do this trying to make friends
