I love these kind of things lol.

Deltarune did something similar and even has a bit of dialog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWuqJ9h2vME

theangriestbird,

gonna avoid for the sake of spoilers, but i love that Undertale had unique dialog for a few names. Not surprised Toby kept it up for the sequel, it’s really cool!

Congratulations, your suffering evolved into lower back pain!

2stage is harder then it’s a pretty boring slog that takes forever.

I now understand why so many people are complaining about Silksong being too hard.

neon_nova,

I was a big hollow knight fan and recently replayed it. I found silksong to be the perfect difficulty.

Although, now I think of it, I wish there were more pogo sections where you can’t touch the ground.

I’d also love an update that lets you play the game as the knight from the first game.

I think his move set could traverse the maps with maybe one exception, but they could pretty easily adjust those rooms for him.

redsand,

It’s not over. Hollow knight had DLCs. Team Cherry says their plans are ambitious. For now the cradle in act 3 is the most platforming we get but I’m psyched

neon_nova,

I guess there will also be mods for that kind of stuff too.

Goodeye8,

Small spoiler but there is a crest that makes the attacks like hollow knight attacks (though with less range it seems). It makes some pogo sections harder but as you get more movement abilities that becomes less of an issue.

neon_nova,

Yeah, I have that and basically used it as my default.

I’ve finished the game already and am now going back through each section to see what I can unlock still.

Goodeye8,

I used that for a while as well but eventually swapped to the reaper because I felt I got a more comfortable experience with the reaper. The moveset is slower but you get more range and the downward slash is similar to the wanderer. You also get better slots than the wanderer and your silk binding gets an added benefit getting extra silk when attacking. In theory wanderer is probably stronger in raw DPS but I with all the whiffing I did and not getting too greedy with my attacks I probably end up having the same DPS with the reaper.

I was a big hollow knight hater and I recently replayed it. I also found silksong to be the perfect difficulty.

Jokes aside, I enjoyed HK, just thought the backtracking got tedious and the endgame bosses were over the top, so I called it quits after main game 100% (and the final boss being hell). I only got Silksong to see how hard the game is before the nerfs come, and yet I loved it, I also found it perfect with a consistent 5-10 tries for most bosses from the early ones to endgame, and the true final boss only pushing it into 15-20 I think.

I went to HK in the middle of it to see if I’d change my mind, and most of it is still boring, but bosses melt like butter, including the DLC ones so far. I don’t know why, I thought I started getting worse at games in recent years. Maybe going from stick to d-pad? Or Silksong prepped me for being more observant of boss tells?

Shoutout to the The Besties Podcast who created this merch

P.S. I’m not affiliated with them in any way. Just a listener and Patreon supporter.

Edit: dynamic ad insertion make linking episodes with timestamps weird nowadays, but after the first ad break is the bit where they announced the towel.

theangriestbird,

thanks for the shoutout! had no clue where this was actually from, just saw the photo shared OOC elsewhere.

Ewww open world. That’s as basic as it gets.

ThunderComplex,

At this point I’d rather play CoD than ubislop assassins creed 43 here we go assassinating again

Cyv_, do gaming w have some standards

While I get the stereotype you’re talking about, I feel like this is a bit mean. Idk. Maybe I’m a bit biased because my stepbrother is basically a halo only type of gamer, but he’s also a decent human being.

Similarly I’m not gonna shit on my old roommate, who basically only played the sims.

ShaggySnacks,

I hate the Sims cause my sims always end up living a better life than me.

Getting paid after every work day, never having to work overtime, having random friends is a must-have for promotions, which also come easy, house and furniture are always clean.

ShaggySnacks,

Promotions are easy to come by, can swap jobs without any difficulty, and the only thing you have to worry about is the pool ladder mysteriously disappearing while you are swimming.

Sonotsugipaa,

Your stepbrother’s judgement depends on which Halo he plays, he still has a chance

ddplf,

Look at you, so nice and sweet

It’s a meme champ, nobody’s being serious, you don’t have to light your candle of reconciliation

COD is a roleplaying game! I roleplay as a stormtrooper that can’t hit shit! I’m pretty good at it

(also don’t date guys that seem to play certain games performatively like they saw this post and went out to match it) (a friend dated a guy that brought a modded gameboy to social functions and played it sometimes but he never really talked about gaming and i’m pretty sure the gameboy was more about the aesthetic for him than actually playing games)

Soulg,

I like to play mmos, arpgs, and chess. Should my girlfriend run? (joke)

TehPers,

MMOs? You’re a lost cause, sorry.

(Unless she also likes MMOs, then you’re meant for each other)

(Also, /s ofc, but remember to take breaks to spend time together)

jjjalljs,

(Unless she also likes MMOs, then you’re meant for each other)

My friend’s brother and brother’s wife play WoW together. They have their living room set up so they can play side by side. It’s nice they have a fun hobby they do together. (They also engage with real life, but they live far away so I rarely personally see them)

rmuk,

Couples who play MMOs together have that kinkiest sex lives. There, I said it.

Vodulas,

This isn’t always the case obviously, but this can be a neurodivergent coping mechanism. As someone with high social anxiety, having something I can focus on outside the social aspect for a small period can do wonders

Hond, do gaming w have some standards

I killed several really well going conversations in the past by mentioning that one of my hobbies is to play racing games with my plastic toywheel.

Like dont get wrong i'm fully aware that its not a sexy hobby. But if thats enough to tank an otherwise well going conversation for you then i'm not interested either way.

Telorand,

I have to wonder if they’d be more interested if you’d said you fly a space ship with a HOTAS (as in Elite Dangerous).

ClassifiedPancake,

„I like playing with my stick“

theangriestbird,

yeah yeah we all do, pancake, but you need more things to talk about on a date!

t3rmit3,

that’s where the hand on the throttle comes in!

neon_nova,

I got really into elite dangerous at one point. I never got a HOTAS though, but I’d considered it.

How is the game these days?

Telorand,

I wouldn’t know! I’m currently exploring the black, and that hasn’t changed much! I think it’s had some improvements, though, since Horizons. They maybe added a new ship…? Still one of the best space flight sims.

On the other side of the coin, No Man’s Sky added walkable ship interiors to their new Corvette class ships, so they’ve basically added everything Star Citizen promised, just with more cartoonish graphics. Either are still great choices for scratching that space exploration itch.

neon_nova,

I’ve tried no mans sky a few times and couldn’t get into it.

I never grinded enough to get an anaconda, but I did make a few first discoveries while jumping around.

I think my ship is so far out that every time I play, I get bored trying to jump to anywhere relevant.

buedi,

I am back playing since a few weeks after bring absent for 5 years. Got myself Odyssey finally and do exobiology and you can build your own Colonies now!

Korhaka,

Played a fair bit of Elite but now kinda feels like there isn’t really that much purpose to play and most things get boring quickly, especially if you are trying to be vaguely efficient and stack missions or what ever the meta is now.

Doing a variety of different things with my multiple ship and SRV or on foot was most fun and least rewarding. If there was more co-op focused stuff I think that could help too, even if it was just a mission variant that increased enemy spawn rates in the mission area. Then rewards that make the mission worth doing.

mrgoosmoos,

racing sims are a sexy hobby, that shit ain’t cheap up front and also it’s legitimately a good experience

oh I’m sorry I have a hobby that doesn’t require ongoing expenses, takes up little space, and feeds me adrenaline. you’re right that if that is enough to tank a convo then byeee

of all the things to be a dealbreaker, playing video games is… lol. not the kind of person you want to be around. odds are they watch brainrot tiktok and reality TV, right?

AstralPath,

racing sims

oh I’m sorry I have a hobby that doesn’t require ongoing expenses

Sim racing is one of the most expensive video game related hobbies out there.

Ask me how I know.🤣 Jokes aside though, if you’re not competing in iRacing and you’re happy with a decent but entry-level/intermediate wheel its not so bad. It’s not hard to blow 10k real fast if you want to though!

definitemaybe,

Sure, but even so: that hardware isn’t going to be obsolete or wear out for a long time.

Compared with going to a concert that can be $10K for 2 people to attend a single show.
