Anyways I'm still waiting for my skull co neogrip for my OLED. Playing without one has been incredibly painful so I bought one from Amazon in the meantime It kind of sucks it flexes on the sides but hey it was 12 bucks and it came with prime shipping I think my favorite part is that the white color on the grip doesn't really match the white of the console so it looks pretty off lmao

I just realized that Segas fishing trilogy doesn’t have a switch port and that seems like a loving crime.

Yeah guys, If you find yourself chuckling at some breathtakingly tone-deaf article, instead of posting about it one single time just ask yourself this: could I instead be contributing to the higher level gaming discourse on the dead comedy forums? The answer is always yes. Keep your chuckles to yourself, keep your head down, and get gaming! Maybe for the next month we should just post a list of what games we are playing and a simple “good” or “bad.” I’ll start: Metroid Dread— good Slay the Spire— good Nick All Star Brawl— good

I still laugh at the PS5 review ending with some kind of loving political discourse or the broken brained articles pushed about wanting to gently caress game characters. Site is just filled with deranged writers.

V cool, I've been thinking about animal crossing but I'm not really sure I want a Zen garden experience atm. I remember earlier entries I would eventually just treat my daily check in like a chore more than a way to relax but that's probably just me Using that gorgeous OLED to play through hollow Knight and ys 8 right now! Ys is ugly but extremely fun! Although what's up with that jump sound effect?? It's this weird distorted spindly sfx, sounds proper hosed and it bothers me every time lol Anyways both games are great!

There's only one place for it, and it's in Lake Hylia. You can't do it from the start, but I forget what you have to do to unlock it. I love it so much, that it bugs me a lot that BOTW has zero fishing that doesn't involve bombs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P73Y2tA_J30 Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Oct 19, 2021 |

Well you can shoot them with an arrow or just... dive in there and catch them with your hands yeah that was a bit disappointing. At the very least I have a legitimate reason to go replay OoT now! EDIT: Watching the video and yeah I'm pretty sure 12-13 year old me decided I 100% the game without ever touching that. What a silly child I was

ROJO posted:Which are you talking about out of curiosity? I can't think of a shinespark puzzle you can't solve the first time you see it, unless it is super obvious a required power up is missing (because of a power bomb block or something). Usually if you get to a puzzle in the game, you have the tools to do it from a game progression standpoint. Crap I'm struggling to think of too many that flat out require any movement upgrades at all (one absolutely requires flash shift but it is super obvious and you should have that before speed booster anyways IIRC), vs weapon power ups to clear blocks. I'm thinking of the one where there is a morph ball tunnel with collapsing blocks under it and then further on there are bomb blocks above it, and above that there are speed blocks. The intended way to do it is to get up speed, enter shinespark mode before the tunnel, then cross bomb over the collapsing blocks, bomb the bomb blocks, then shinespark upwards. I was trying without cross bombs. So I could get my speed up, slide into the tunnel and across the collapsing blocks in speed mode, but then couldn't enter shinespark mode after that. When I would get to the other side of the tunnel I would try to press ZL to exit morph ball and then immediately press down to enter shinespark mode, but exiting morph ball mode lost me my speed and it didn't work. If there was a way to get from morph ball with speed into shinespark, you could solve the puzzle without cross bombs. There have been other puzzles that are possible without aerial shinesparks but very difficult and have extremely precise timing, but if you know you can cancel out of a somersault to do an aerial shinespark it becomes much easier. I've gotten two power bomb upgrades before getting power bombs, so there are puzzles you're not really supposed to solve yet that you can see as you go along, aside from the obvious ones with special blocks you can't break. One I got by chaining bomb jumps to go up higher than the game expected me to be able to. I got a missile upgrade using some tricky timing on space jump and morph ball bombs that I was probably supposed to come back for with cross bomb.

There's tons of fishing options in breath of the wild. You can grab them with your bare hands, snipe them with arrows, water dash into them, whistle to scare them and make them beach themselves, or just hit the pond with lightning and kill them all at once

Jimbozig posted:The intended way to do it is to get up speed, enter shinespark mode before the tunnel, then cross bomb over the collapsing blocks, bomb the bomb blocks, then shinespark upwards. Was there any confirmation that is the intended way? I believe the intended way is (like you indicated you tried) to speed-boost slide through the tunnel, store the spark in the alcove on the far left, and then roll back in, bomb, and spark up. The timing is more forgiving and frankly, there is no point for the alcove to exist if cross-bombs is the intended way. I agree the inputs are a little wonky in the alcove (you don't actually have to use ZL, if you power-slid into an opening, you automatically start running on the other side, so just hold L while in the tunnel then down when you get out) and the slide timing to enter is kinda tight, but frankly easier that the cross-bomb timing IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEk5BzeUJBE Jimbozig posted:
Yeah, totally agree there are other power-ups you can get early (I think I had 4 power bombs early?), and definitely other power ups you see and definitely cannot get yet. Cross-bomb puzzles are the main culprit there, because they aren't intuitive even with preivous-game knowledge because it is a novel item. My main comment was shinespark puzzle specific, and that none of them require un-attained power-ups that aren't blatantly obvious. ROJO fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Oct 19, 2021 |

seeing a dumb rear end article that everyone hates and laughing at it with other people is fun. reading 10 posts by king slime about how everyone else is upset and shouldn't be talking about it and he himself is the only sensible poster is not fun. this is my game review of the last 2 pages of the nintendo switch thread.

The cross-bomb method never even enters that part. Also, iirc, you don't have the cross-bomb by the first time you enter this area, but you DO have the speed booster.

I think samus automatically exits the morph ball once you exit the tunnel into the alcove, so pressing ZL isn't necessary and that's what would cause you to lose your shinespark
