GAH this needs to loop... Is there a setting that I'm missing? Can't find it, might be being blind...

Ooh enjoy! Outer Wilds is one of my favourite things, ever.

Counter-point to ConstableJelly (they're not wrong, play however you enjoy, this is just my opinion) - DO avoid guides even when stuck.

The whole game is about figuring things out, looking at the info you have from different angles, or heading out in brand new directions to see if any new discoveries will tie in with where you're stuck. Looking something up will rob you of that discovery and maybe other ones that tie in to it.

There's a great subreddit for the game that is set up with very specific rules to avoid spoilers. You can ask questions there, and people will expertly nudge you in the right direction based on what you've already discovered and figured out. There are communities here also but I don't think they're set up in quite the same way yet (especially as spoiler tags are not reliable in Lemmy yet across different apps etc)

You can definitely do it without resorting to any of the above, but if you get so stuck you're going to drop the game, I'd say ask in that subreddit. Or, feel free to DM me! I'll help you without ruining anything as best as I can.

I just noticed how much you committed to the bit too, with the repeated comments. Amazing work

Not sure people are getting the joke here

I must have heard the expression "they slept together" and figured sex was something that happened when both people were asleep in the same bed

All I know is that this post makes me want to watch Devs again. OP, if you haven't seen it, check it out - one season miniseries about exactly this

Firstly, being on the autism spectrum (not saying he is or isn't) doesn't give you the right to be an asshole, and I'm sure many people who are on it and aren't assholes will tell you that this take is insulting.

Secondly, when you say there is nothing major on there, you have to keep in mind his level of reach and influence. If your neighbour says "this new Covid thing is going to just blow over, there'll be no cases soon'", you can say "OK buddy, hope you're right but it's not looking likely". When Musk says it, he directly contributes massively to the misinformation that has killed a lot of people and changed the whole damn world for the worse

Seems to be an issue with the order the comment threads are displaying in while sorted by 'Top'. I've changed to 'Hot' sorting for now and it all appears to be correct

This does work (and yes you have to change view type, then the setting, then change view type back).

However, one more small issue - you can't change the line spacing like you can for the comments. I find it too squished so I've increase the line spacing for comment font, but can't do that for the post font, so it all looks very uneven

Oh god haha that's even worse. It works for me but I just checked a different lemmy app and it doesn't work there, I guess it's not implemented everywhere yet. Thanks for the heads up

This is the one. Thank you

Edit - deleted, because explaining why it is a spoiler is a spoiler, and apparently the spoiler tags don't work on a lot of lemmy apps ¯(ツ)/¯

Ahhh and the music too

BTW I would mark that as a spoiler, I know I wouldn't want to know even that there's something worth mentioning like this there

100%. Even in the general 'middle', every now and then, a few simple lines of text would just punch me right in the gut

SotC is still worth playing even if spoiled - for me it's about the overarching feeling through the entire experience that is really special. Very lonely and isolating but beautiful and tragic.

ICO I tried to replay recently but found it too clunky, but that's probably because I don't often play retro games so don't have the feel for them anymore. I did love it when I played it decades ago though.

Also, definitely add The Last Guardian to this list. It's incredibly unique, and I absolutely loved the aspects of it that frustrate some people - just try to think of it like you're trying to communicate with an actual animal, not a game.

I just spent a couple of hours, maybe more, on one boss. I'm not used to this genre in general (souls or any combat games really) and I'm determined to do it without looking up any guides or videos or anything.

It is so damn satisfying to go from "What?? I can't even get close, I dont seem to be able to deflect or dodge these attacks and I can't tell one move from the other seemingly infinite amount of moves wtf" to just flowing through the first phase on the way to just barely getting through the rest alive

What a game

Ahh I love that one.

Similarly, this verse but particularly the last two lines from it, from 'A Perfect Circle - The Doomed'. Always hits me hard. So relevant and sad:

Blessed are the fornicants

May we bend down to be their whor*s

Blessed are the rich

May we labor, deliver them more

Blessed are the envious

Bless the slothful, the wrathful, the vain

Blessed are the gluttonous

May they feast us to famine and war

Owl took me a while too. The main thing that helped for me was going back to the drawing board on a lot of his moves, and experimenting - I won't go into specifics unless you ask me to, but there are a lot more openings for attacking him than I initially thought

I'm just discovering it myself - I think I'm getting towards the end but I don't really know.

I've only played Bloodborne previously, and everything I heard about Sekiro made me think it would be a better fit for me then the rest of the Souls / elden Ring games - I get overwhelmed with too much choice, and prefer a more focused experience where the only way to get better is to get better.

And my god do I love it. Not even a genre of game I'd usually go for and it's becoming one of the best games I've ever played. It just feels so damn good when you start flowing with the intended mechanics.

Can't remember the last time I was looking forward to my next session with a game so consistently during the whole playthrough.

The hair is key for a good lather
