My very dumb cat has developed a licking obsession and will sit for 40 mins just licking whatever is in front of him without moving, just hitting the same spot. I have to let him destroy the skin on my arms and legs because otherwise he will make the bald spots on his front legs bigger. I wish it was a skin allergy instead of plain old stupidity but he will lick anything until hes forced to stop. Pray for my boy, guys.

Color Splash is a game that I felt had very clever and funny writing, fun setpiece events and locales and an absolutely mindnumingly tedious and bad combat system. It'd legitimately be a better game if it was LESS of an RPG because except for some rare combat gimmicks that are amusing the combat is just repetitive, boring and slow.

I still managed to really enjoy the game for everything except its combat though. Amazing how it managed to make me actually like a bunch of Toads.

To be fair, the combat in all paper Mario games is tedious garbage. The only good part of the first two is exploiting badges to end the battles as soon as possible.

It could be modeled after the torture scene in mgs1, except if you fail Link kills himself

How close am i to the end of ys origin? Im at the creeper boss after the annex is over. I'm feeling underpowered at level 25 so i probably need to grind up. i was drunk and dumb last night and killed a bunch of mandatory red enemies doing 1 damage per hit and it took forever even with all the weapon upgrades available thus far.

Probably like 2/3 of the way through, those enemies are a pain in the rear end no matter what.

No with Yunica it's the double jump downward thrust that reduces DEF.

If you're playing on normal 50 is fine, anything over that is a bonus

drat i gotta grind. Having xenoblade flashbacks now. I just want to blow past trash mobs sometimes but games love to punish me for being behind the level curve with damage/accuracy nerfs.

If you kill everything you should be fine, is how they balanced Origin. Unless you're on nightmare and need cushion to survive some of the harder bosses

Even when I ran through on Easy as Hugo to unlock Toal I tried to skip everything and some bosses I had to pop out and grind a few levels. It's one of the weaker parts of Ys in general, the way they handle level scaling and such. Makes low level challenge runs essentially impossible, or tediously unfun.

assuming all modern ys has the flash guard from ys seven, lowballing in newer games on harder difficulties seems a bit more realistic with all the extra damage that lets you deal

i don't know why ys seven doesn't even tell you the flash guard exists because it is like the single thing that takes it from a pretty ok game to a really fun one and makes the boss fights kick rear end. hard difficulty feels weirdly spongey without it

The 8 demo has a flashguard button on the layout screen so yep.

Like, the 2017 in gaming Wikipedia page, which I assume has most legitimate releases, only has a couple hundred games on it. So we're talking literally thousands of asset flips and games that will have literally zero purchases cluttering up store pages.

Being a small indie dev seems rougher than ever these days

The 64 games are decentish and the only ones worth playing alone. Bomberman is a party game thats very good in that context

if you're talking like single player no not really, but multiplayer Bomberman had always been good. I'd go for one of the snes games though

The Wii emulated version of Bomberman for the Commodore 64 lets you play with 5 players iirc. That one extra person creates an inordinate amount of chaos.

the most recent ones do 8 player online, think you can do eight local on switch also. the super bombermen could do 5 with a multitap iirc

don't play the c64 one imo

Wasn't there a single player Bomberman that was kind of Zelda-ish? Like it had puzzles and an overworld and stuff.
