    The Couch Co-Op Thread

    in The Gauntlet

    Posted

    I love shmups and a lot of them have co-op capabilities, but sadly I have nobody to actually be my player 2 (wife refuses to touch shmups lol).

    That said, I've been playing Guardian Force on the Sega Saturn lately. It's pretty okay overall, the interesting bit is that Player 1 and 2 actually have different weapons to each other. You can pick up different weapon types, but even if you pick up the same color weapon, you'll both have something different to bring to the table. Player 2 is a bit more defensive but weaker than P1. It's pretty interesting.

    Technically it’s the Game Gear version but since they play the same, I was willing to also accept SMS, so you win this round Mr. Gloves.

    They're literally pixel for pixel the exact same in this cutscene lol.

    Inscryption -- one of the Best Games I have ever played

    Sure you could in principle get super unlucky and get obliterated, but it's worlds apart from Slay the Spire 🙂  Also, to be clear, it's not that Inscryption doesn't have it's challenges, especially at the beginning. But, from start to finish it's about 10-15 hours and the game truly is meant to be experienced and completed. There's no artificially increasing the playtime by needlessly making enemies super challenging or always starting from scratch as in Slay the Spire --

    My frustrations with Slay the Spire, 100 hours later

    I have NEVER beaten the Awakened One...Yeah screw The Awakened One. I've beaten the games 4-5 times or something, but never won against him/that. I feel it was stupidly poorly balanced ...I really hope they change/balance the last bosses some more.

    I did beat the Awakened One, it was tough, but I got lucky. And therein is the major problem with Slay the Spire, even if you play it for hundreds of hours, at the end, it comes to luck. While you can grind in Inscryption, there's really no point. Slay the Spire on the other hand SHOULD have a mechanism to strengthen your deck or at least re-balance the bosses so that it's not entirely RNG dependent -- as it stands, that's exactly what it is, RNG dependent.

    The point of the screenshot is, and you may have forgotten this, but on your first playthrough Leshi just up and decides you're doing too well and pulls a full table of Grizzly Bears with boosts that make it near impossible to pass. 😛

    Odd Tinkering on YouTube is one of my favorite restorers to watch. He does some of the full ins for metal pitting on this video. I think his about has what he uses to do it as well:

     

    Just watched; I need to see about some of that filler stuff. Seems like it'd be handy for the toolbox since there's definitely pitting going on, assuming I've got the terminology right there.

    I have an opinion on this, even though Ive never heard the question come up before as I just thought it was normal to have them be yellow.

    I can remember back to about 1st grade art class, when we would have to draw our family on a white piece of paper.  I couldnt make my skin white because the white crayon didnt show up on the white background, and some people would use the peach crayon, if they were caucasian of course, and that always left me with yellow as the best option. 

    On another note, my drawn people would always have 3 fingers as it was way to hard to draw a good hand small enough to look legit with a crayon.

    I drew people like this as a kid, cuz stick people were so blasé:

    Unless you do body work, like filling pits, it will always look/feel like an old box that has been painted. Personally I prefer the worn in look. As long as it’s clean and functional. 

    I'm not opposed to doing what needs done, assuming the skill and tools required aren't insane. Do you have any tips on what such body work looks like, or where I might start looking into it?

    If it was me I’d definitely try to remove the old paint first, painting over it is gonna come out bad imo. Maybe something like this or similar product in Canada? If you strip it don’t forget primer before painting!

    This is exactly why I posted this, very handy! Thanks, I'll do this 100%!

    I'm on the "clean it up" phase right now, doing a drawer or two today. Will order this or something similar so it shows up before next weekend. 

    Any good brands you'd suggest for primer and paint? I was looking at Rustoleum.
