Couldn't sleep, got the 1CC

Shout out to this thing you can do in games with a fixed jump arc

I feel like a lot of the time I check this site it's like "wow get a load of this DISCOURSE" *check inside* *5 people calmly sharing their opinions about something niche*

I beat Bloodlines but I lost my 1cc run to Dracula's final phase, bweh

I think when you make a sequel, adaptation, remake, or remaster of a game in a long running series, the things you do differently are by nature a commentary on those exact elements in the source material.

Any time I try playing a remake without having played the original, I always feel like I'm missing out on some piece of the puzzle. I don't have the context for these changes?? ...And many times when I run into something that feels questionable, it's something the remake changed to justify itself

It's kinda funny hearing a lot of design people I know talk about contact damage, because something I experimented with recently was having a property that disables it on enemies when you're mid-combo Eris' sword is kind of short so I do try to keep contact hitboxes more lenient in general

There are some bosses that don't have any contact damage outside of attacks, but that's because they're more projectile focused and the goal is trying to multitask

I have a lot of fun giving bosses some absurd bullshit and then trying to see if it's actually broken or if it's just a skill issue and there is a way

Tried a bit of Belmont's Curse thru dubious means (They delisted the demo 😡) First Thought: Ehhhh, even past the Castlevania thing I can see why people might like this, even I'm numb to the the design trends this game follows After getting the grappling hook: oh GOD it's a modern sonic game.

WE'RE SO BACK

I've been at this apartment since the 27th last month and I still don't have internet 🙃

- Had to sort other things out like getting someone to fix the stove - Had to get someone over to fix the line so the modem works, but only the property manager can activate the internet for my unit - Walk down to the office last week and they're away - No more hotspot data, stuck on my phone

I really love the way your mistakes compound eachother in old games, it's one of those things that sounds brutal at first but the flipside is that your successes compound too!

Doing better early in the game means you have more health, lives, powerups, bombs, etc. for the bits that really give you trouble
