I was terrible at the game before I accepted how important defense was. Previously I focused hard of attack power and speed, but then you’re too fragile for unexpected situations. That and much slower more considered pathing are very helpful. Look around at the rest of the level before you move or act because you might be backing yourself into a corner.

Your username is much more subtle

Edit: I decided to download the game again and do a run to see if I remembered how to play, and yeah I think my advice there is good. Carefully consider your moves before you make them, defense is very important. One thing that could help is to look up info about what to expect in a given path before going in to know if you can handle the type of stuff that you’ll find in there. Eventually (if you play enough), you’ll memorize them, but for example it can be very helpful to know that you’ll be against a bunch of exploding enemies if you go to the “Volatile” path.

Yeah, I did both endings on all the difficulties, at least with the default starting item.

Also it’s surprisingly rare that someone actually recognizes my username, this is the first time in a while (Assuming your choice of words was not just coincidence)

Currently I just deal with the banners (as annoying as they are) and shed a tear at the state of the modern internet.

In case you didn’t know, the “I don’t care about cookies” extension was recently sold to Avast. I don’t know if anyone has seen them make any sketchy changes yet, but personally I didn’t want to trust them and uninstalled it

Yes! The Forgotten City is a great game, I really enjoyed my play through.

• Ring of Pain is a great roguelike.
• Paradise Killer - Not actually sure how to describe Paradise Killer, but it’s one of my favourite games.
• The Red Strings Club - Interesting, short and sweet
• Stephen’s Sausage Roll - If you love puzzle games and can’t find any that are hard enough for you, it might be the best game ever made. Or the most infuriating.

And then a few that maybe aren’t that obscure by now, but I can’t not mention them

• A Short Hike - I think possibly the greatest small indie game of all time? Certainly one of my favourites.
• Baba Is You - (slightly) less extreme puzzle game, but it’s also great.
• Inscryption - Just a great game, can’t say much about it without spoiling the experience

Thanks for the link 👍

Joined and threw up a post!

It’s been too long for me to really have concrete memories of BotW, but at the very least I’ve spent a lot more time in Totk. I didn’t do much more than the sacred beasts before beating the game in BotW, I’ve done way more side content this time around.

archive.org link to get around paywall.

Yeah, I’m really hoping that things do get better instead of continuing the trend. Maybe I’m just being suckered by Ben Brode’s charisma.

I want to get into Runeterra, but I just really enjoy the simplicity of snap.

New game mode just released today, great time to come back 🙂

You’re right though, it really is a grind. If that aspect takes away from the fun for you, I can totally understand dropping it.

I use kagi. It’s pretty nice, though it’s not free.
