A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
She sends it to me every time she has that conversation. It's how I know new girls have started working with her.
Soo… Hollow Knight. I’ve been looking for a Metroidvania game and this popped up. How does it compare to Metroid? From the trailer footage and the reviews it looks more of a super-precise platformer like Celeste with lots of cruel boss fights.
i lean more towards the metroid side of the metroidvania genre and i spent around 15 or so hours in hollow knight. it has beautiful design and very deep lore. the map goes on forever. the platforming is tough, but not exceedingly difficult. what made me give up is partially that the combat is too fast and goes on for too long, and partially that it has a corpse run mechanic, which i despise.
at least for a while you can get away with exploring somewhere else when an area seems too daunting, but after a while you hit combat roadblocks which means every failure requires a dash back with half health.
Hollow knight is great, it's one of my favorites. However if you are looking for something to scratch a Metroid itch, I'd suggest looking into Axiom Verge.
Hollow Knight is great. The bosses are tough, but manageable. IIRC, the only really tough platforming section is optional. I've been picking Metroidvanias from this list lately and been pretty happy. He also has some good maps for them. https://demajen.co.uk/tierlist.html
I was recommended it after I finished both Oris but I remember getting super frustrated with the death system which made the whole thing too hardcore for me and my 2.7 minutes of free time. Did I do it wrong?
As a pretty old dude, I feel you on the lack of time. That's part of why I don't mind looking at maps. I need to be efficient with my time. You do get items that help with survivability and a fair number of checkpoints. As with any media, you should never feel guilty if you're just not feeling it.
The Ori games were beautiful and quite well done too. Best escape sequences ever.
Definitely a metroidvania where combat is a major point of the game. Not my favorite in that respect, since my reflexes get worse with each year that passes. Otherwise, it is in the top five of the genre.
Anyhow, I recommend a dark horse for your metroid fix, provided you are into puzzles. I think La-Mulana 1 & 2 are easily the largest and best games in the genre, but they require lots of out-of-the-box thinking, and some of the puzzles are really hardcore. If you are into Indiana Jones, this really scratches that itch.
The games come in freeware and commercial flavors.
Kel, get off the Lemmy. You have work to do.
[EDIT: I do not know this person, I have no idea who they are. If their name IS Kel, it would be fucking hilarious]
I’d send them that clip of Will Arnet being corrected on LEGO Masters about the grammatical plural of LEGO. That would be my reply. At least criticize them with proper grammar.
I see according to the company the plural form should be Lego. I'll try and change that in how I speak. It's still early for me so I don't think correcting my wife's grammar is a good thing to do.
That's a little passive aggressive of your wife to send that.
