100YrsofAttitude posted:It really is. Combat is not as good as they want it to be. I eventually removed the stamina cost and went forward from there. Puzzles are perfect. It's so cool! I completely didn't realize that (spoilers for Tunic) ringing the bells had opened the golden door, which has the instruction page telling you how to activate pillars and warp points. So I got the hookshot-thing, cleared out the entire Atoll but didn't know what to do with the pillars, and then spent like an hour or two just wandering around trying to figure out what the gently caress I was supposed to do. Finally finding that page was such a great discovery moment, I love when games teach you that something is hiding in plain sight like that. The combat is okay but not great, I got to the Librarian and he was kicking my rear end to the point where I think I need some more upgrades. So I just left and now I'm at the eastern vault. There were some nice upgrades on the way in but I'm still at 4 attack and defense and would love to bump those up. One thing I will say is that the combat roadblocks make finding upgrades feel REALLY exciting.

One of the thing I feel a lot of Souls-clone games miss about Soulsborne games is the RPG element that lets you "grind". I mean you don't have to do that, but you do gain the ability to power yourself as you go about the game, but Tunic, just gives you upgrades that you have to find and are often gated themselves. It's a key element that makes the pattern-recognition gimmick better since you can actually take more hits, the more you die. Tunic definitely gave me a few head-slap moments and solving puzzles was galaxy-tier mindblowing, I loved how the map was laid out too.

It's a key element that makes the pattern-recognition gimmick better since you can actually take more hits, the more you die. Yeah and I mean you're not alone, when I look up reviews, almost everyone mentions the combat as a weak point and I do agree it's probably the weakest part. But I do think one of the things that makes it so compelling is that it's not "just" a meta puzzle game, it's a totally committed action RPG that takes itself seriously, but you also happen to interact with it in a really novel and engaging way. I could totally picture renting this from Blockbuster in the 90s, and seeing someone post about it twenty years later and say "Oh yeah, Tunic, that was a neat little game!" The map is cool too, and I like the magical realism bits like realizing you actually show up on the map, where it's not just a manual but also there's weird stuff going on there.

Don't have Animal Crossing so can't be that. Maybe it's a cartridge game I haven't inserted in the console yet? Maybe I should try to grab all of them and insert them once and check back.

Had to restart the whole level. Didn't turn it on after that :/

My wife always brings up “memes” but then forgets I don’t have social media (beyond Bluesky which is still kinda fledgling) so she will send me something I don’t get. I also got the feeling I missed something about grapes in the last year or so.

That's the kind of thing that would make my wife freak out. She can't handle anything lighting up. My phone charger had to get painted over so the little tiny LEDs wouldn't be visible. Thankfully, I leave my switch in my office when I go to bed, and I never have to hear it. I have told her, "The light wouldn't be an issue if you closed your eyes when you sleep" and she haaaates that.

when do you have time to paint over every LED if you're also busy making sure the volume on everything is set to zero?
