I got the recent update for Snoopy's Street Fair, and the goal that used to be "jump in 50 leaf piles" changed to "jump in 50 snow piles".
I figured it would work like the leaf piles - tap them, Snoopy runs over, and hops in. Simple enough. However, when I tap the snow piles, Snoopy runs over, ...
I'm not much for punishing video games. If I wanted to pay money to be be beaten and punished in my relaxation time, I'd... well.. let's just say there are other ways to accomplish that goal.
@GraceNote I'm just saying it's not the same as masochism, which is the enjoyment of being punished by the difficulty, or, in other words, the enjoyment of failure.
just to clarify, I'm not saying you enjoy failure; perhaps your tolerance is higher than mine is for it. I think as my free time shrinks I'm getting more and more interested in games where the enjoyment is highly concentrated.
for instance, I probably played final fantasy 1 a dozen times in my history, but now, any game that takes that much grinding is just irritating to me. I guess part of it is "looking for new experiences" and part of it is "my tastes are changing" and another part is "annoy me less, games, please"
if you're having fun with a game though, then awesome.
for some reason I'm still enjoying dungeons of dredmor though, I might just have a soft spot for roguelikes. I do turn off permadeath.
@Powerlord Admittedly no, but I have played N as well as several other platformers which others might call "hard". I don't imagine it'd take me long to beat it if I put my effort into it.
I've accepted that there are things I'm good at, and things I'm not, and changing what's in the second category takes time and effort, which I don't always have.
I feel like I played a N game at one point, and found it moderately amusing. I'll probably get super meat boy at some point (the price point will be right) and I'll invest a few hours in it perhaps.
Games (especially RPGs) become a whole lot less interesting to me once I started studying IT and I realized instead of doing operation X, Y amount of times in order to increase certain stats, I could just change a value somewhere in memory.
After that a lot of it seems pointless. Which is why I rather have games like SMB, arcade games, which require actual skill.
It was an old 90's freeware single text box game that had your character go out and kill and loot, then sell and get better armor, then wash rinse repeat ad infinitem. The "game" was more of a cpu cycle eater, but it was kinda a kick to see it running while I was doing other things. Does anyone r...
There must be a name for when trying the same task enough times means you'll start at some point to perform worse and worse, and it's choking.Read more.
@badp The temporarily wrong wiring of your brain, in order to attempt different options and the subsequent rewiring to something that works? ... no idea :)
@badp Actually it reminds me of a common phenomenon which also occurs when playing darts. Basically you usually throw a dart nearby where you've thrown the previous one. Once you make an error, you make slight corrections, towards the actual outcome you are aiming for. Could be something similar.
What does it mean when a civilization denounces me? What effect does it have when I denounce another civilization? What kinds of actions can you take that would cause another civilization to denounce you?
I recall reading somewhere online that it was feasible to get from landmark to landmark in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood by looking up Rome in Google Maps. This piqued my interest, are all the cities in the AC series accurate in their layout of the landmarks?
@ArdaXi I made the crappy trees in my video and two days after handing in my assignment, I found a program that generated awesome looking trees. Wish I had found it earlier.
@GnomeSlice my comments: remove two seconds from it: one around 00:06 one around 00:10 - those are two points where you think it has ended, with 00:06 being the biggest offender.
