It's really obtuse how you have to use some of the lures. Like the frog lure won't work unless you pull the rod back, in addition to the intermittent reeling and left-to-right motion. It never says this

Frogs hop around, they don’t slowly swim forward. Hth OP.

the frog really only works in the lily pads I think. The little hopping motion does seem to help, when I got the rhythm down the fishing went much better.

Yeah, in the explanation for the lure it says to simulate that by bursts of reeling, not pulling the rod back

For the frog lure, reel it in for about 2 seconds then roll your thumb on the dpad between left and right until the frog stops moving, repeat. These results don't lie

crankbait or grub, natural colored only. dive the crankbait down in front of the fish, move side to side as you do it. grub you can either let hit the bottom and drag it, or keep it on the surface as you reel side to side.
I never use steady tension unless the fish is exhausted, mashing the reel button seems to tire them out faster.

my fishing spots
map1 - deep grass southeast of the dock
map2 - trees at the center, deep grass northeast
map3 - open water or near bridge
map4 - dump immediately south, bridge to the west

never got many fish finder hits at the open water with the grass but the biggest fuckers are always there regardless.

I don't think there are any actual lunkers on map 1 so I've just been chilling in the lillypads/weeds alternating between the frog and the plastic worm.

Hey all, so I'm going through the list of who is left to pick that is actually an active game club poster and I've decided the next pick is going to be Pablo. So please post your pick for next week by tonight or PM me and we can get started on the write up and trophies. Once I finish our determination list I will redo it, add people who have joined since I made it, and start over doing random picks.

I got extremely tilted after having my rod break right at the end of lake 3 and spent several hours on the next attempt angrily failing to catch anything. I have now returned to an equilibrium and am prepared to deal out justice to the fish that have wronged me. Long night ahead of me, gonna try to finish both of the last two lakes.

I'm at noon of what is going to be my last attempt. If can find one of those 7 pounders I can beat that.


e: no luck. Might try to squeeze in another shot tomorrow.

Lake 4 was grueling. There are a lot of truly massive bass in there. I don't think I'd have pulled it out just because of snapped lines except that I managed to catch two lake-record spotted bass, which are a little easier to fight than the others.

For anybody who's still trying:

- sometimes bass will follow your lure but will never bite. Just switching to another viable lure seems to then allow them to bite. I'm not sure why but I think it's related to the thing it says in the manual of getting their attention with noisy lures and then using something else. Fish will reset positions when you switch lures but that doesn't mean a total reset of their behavior. Turns out you have to do this a lot starting lake 3.

- I was majorly overthinking lure movement. Just tapping the reel button and left or right 3-5 times every few seconds ended up being way more effective than any "real" movements I messed with

- If you're fighting a really huge fish, they will recover stamina faster than you will unless you really press them. Gotta pull back on the line when they're facing you to keep them from getting their head back around... but I snapped a lot of lines this way so maybe this isn't the best advice. Only way I pulled them in though.

Game 17



Threads of Fate (PSX) - 2000 - Deadline 8/30/22 11:59PM EST

Players choose from two different characters to control, each with a different story. The game environments are built in polygonal 3D, with a jump button and two action buttons which can trigger actions like an up or down sword slash. Any time that Rue destroys an enemy, a small token is left behind which the player can use to transform Rue into that creature. Mint fights enemies like a gymnast with a hoop weapon in each hand, and can also cast a variety of magic spells.
https://i.imgur.com/KPGGJTX.mp4

The two protagonists, Rue and Mint, both desire the Dewprism for different reasons; Rue wants to revive his dead friend Claire, while Mint, a princess, wanted to reclaim her right to the throne from her sister Maya. The stories take place in parallel, and players choose which of the two characters to play first.


https://i.imgur.com/lmH0fz5.mp4





I've heard that each character takes about 10 hours, but time to beat says 14 for main story.



Here is the OST, I've only listened to a little bit but I think its the same guy who did FFX and it sounds pretty nice

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXa5FLlGHsI

Challenge Badges for Game 17 (Thanks once again to Sub-Actuality)

- Beat the game as Rue

- Beat the game as Mint

- Get the Epilogue ending


Good luck gamers, we have two weeks. Game starts tonight at 12AM EST.
