I don't think assist mode disables trophies so that's probably why

In a way, the endless cycle of reruns without a satisfying ending fits Big O pretty well.





Being thematically appropriate doesn't make it any better though. Oh well. :shrug:

It was going to get a proper ending but the block got a new director who canceled the final season in favor of more poo poo like aqua teen hunger force

What is assist mode? I have been reluctant to turn it on in case it changes the game.

Normally I will play every 'easy easier easiest' mode on every game there is because I take forever to complete games as is.

There is only one genre exception and that is platformers. Platformers are my most favourite game genre and I adore them and play tons of them. (I mean I completed Bart Vs the World to 100% when I was eleven!)

Celeste is kicking my butt hardcore, but it is a good kicking!

theres a funny story about big o where the director would constantly bag on other directors whose anime were popular on the west

"Oh, you think Azumanga Daioh is popular in the west? Did American fans like it enough to get it a second season on American television? :smug:"

The graphics card price inflation stuff sucks because this is the first time I've wanted to buy a PC and had the money for one in forever.

The best way to go right now is find a prebuilt with the stuff you want since companies have contracts from GPU manufacturers for a set agreed upon price. I ended up ordered a prebuilt rig with a 1080ti that had a new processor, better ram, and a better hard drive then what I have now for basically about 250 more then what the 1080ti is going for as a stand alone component and Nvidia has stated recently that GPU prices will continue to rise until at least Q3 this year

In general I think I would be more inclined to make fun of the inane, probably in-jokey mantra from the Nintendo loyalist of every game being "perfect for Switch" if I didn't feel dumbly so often inclined to wait for a PS4 release fo things because I'd rather earn trophies over the nothing I'd get if I bought it for other stuff I own.

I also feel like I've earned it because I used to be saying "I'll wait for the Vita version" just because I really like having games available on portable devices.

In many cases....I'm still waiting...

Assist mode gives you a number of options you can tweak to make the game easier. Just turning it on doesn't change anything and you can turn those options on and off as you need them. Basically it's for if you get completely stuck on a particular challenge and feel like you'll never get past it, you could use assist mode just for that and then keep going without it.

It's a pretty good way of handling it because the game makes it clear that it's not the intended way to play, and encourages you to play without it. But it wants everyone to be able to see everything so it's there if you really need it.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I think Into The Breach would be a great game for iOS so that's what I'm going to hold out for. I wish FTL was available for the iPhone and not just the iPad. Same with Spacechem.

Also regarding Celeste:

I have just gotten to chapter four and I was having the mountain absolutely kick my butt until I reached a patch without the blowing winds and it was back to the old jumping and being precise when I came across a white block that looked like one from my second favourite game of all time SMB3!.

I thought that it looked out of place and wondered if the same trick worked and it utterly did allowing me to get some sort of blue heart! I am an absolute sucker for references to other things and more so when they are things I love so that little secret brought me much glee! I just wonder what the blue heart means.

I think Spacechem on iOS is dead now and never got updated to run on newer devices :( it was kind of a gimped version of the real game anyway but it felt sooo good on my clunky old original ipad

Well so far March seems to be off to a good start, Life is Strange: Before the Storm wraps up on Monday with a (proper) new Kirby game coming out the following Friday.

How is The World Ends With You? I'm considering picking up the Switch port of that as well when it comes out.

Missed out on Big O chat, but I loved the first season and felt the second season turned into some Evangelion level incomprehensible nonsense with a non-ending and kind of soured me on the show as a whole.
