    My bad dude. Don’t get on here as much as I’d like. Went Sunday and I had a good time. Thought I’d grab more CIB N64 games but no luck. Did grab a few missing pieces though. 

    I was there Saturday morning. I think a lot of the good stuff went quickly. But I did a few good trades, and seeing the Tetris World Championships was pretty sweet! Hopefully they do it again next year...

  2. I went to a church rummage sale in 2018. Got there right as it opened, and the first box I looked into had a smoke grey n64 looking perfect with one game.  Scooped that up and some camping gear, a cooler etc.

    It was one of those sales where they just tell you the price at the end at the register. She took a look and was like "is this some video game stuff."  I said yes, and she said how about $10 for everything.

    Anyone attending this weekend? Take your CIB N64 games. Need to finish that set 😆 

    Ill be there! Got my tickets months ago. Funny I'll be bringing some n64 games (not CIB) for trade. Hoping my friend joins me because I have to drive a little bit to get there.

    edit: it was Perfect Pair

    Oh nice, I just checked and they are active over on their Facebook page, ordering now!

    I really dug the vibes in act 1, then act 2 came and it was like a totally different game with a new aesthetic and rules and everything and I kinda lost interest.  Maybe I’ll get back into one of these days.

    Yeah

    Spoiler

    I was not expecting Act 2 to be like that. I accidentally spoiled it from watching a playthrough (when I was stuck on Act 1) which probably affected my overall opinion of the game. I haven't seen many games switch it up completely like that, definitely unexpected.

     

  7. I know people's tastes and preferences are different, but I wanted to add a few notes about Slay the Spire.

    STS, for me, is about detailed planning (which admittingly I do not enjoy). After a few runs, you will be able to know what to expect from the bosses (hyperbeam coming turn 6, every time from Bronze Automaton) and what to generally expect from the enemies in each act. If you doing a Heart run, you will know how that boss acts, and you'll know what you need to achieve success. If you go through the game fast, there is no way to plan accordingly.

    Certain cards are good earlier in the game but not later (and vice versa).

    This is why the great players sit on every decision and think about it for minutes in SLS.

    It's the same way that Poker could be considered all luck, but for the professionals, it's far from it.

    What helped me was to look up about all the individual cards. There was many cards that I thought didn't have much use, that turned out to be VERY helpful (especially the cards/relics that can get you more cards into your hand). Another tip is to maximize synergies between different cards and relics.

    What I don't like about the STS is the graphics, and the character designs are a bit dull. It could use more variety but overall it's a fun game. Inscryption was fun, but for different reasons. Two different games in my opinion.

  8. Just beat it, what a...

     

    [spoilers below]

    Spoiler

    crazy acid-trip of a game. ACT 1 is pretty difficult and frustrating. But once I read online about pairing the squirrel totem with the sigil to get it back in your hand, I was able to beat it. Very unclear with too much going on.  ACT 2 is an unexpected Earthbound-like section. A bit too complicated with all the different cards but brute force works. ACT 3 is ok and I liked a few of the different changes to the basic card game mechanic, but pretty easy.

    Overall, the story is ok but the card game gets a bit repetitive and playing squirrel cards in ACT 1 is such a chore. Make sure to pay attention to details to get the most out of the story i.e. I missed parts of a few videos that were key to the plot.

    In my opinion it would be hard to compare this to Slay the Spire as they both are very different games. But Inscryption is a unique experience for sure.

    To put a bow on top of this old story, yesterday Summoning Salts on YouTube posted another one of his excellent documentaries, but this time on Tetris high scores. He covered this accomplishment, as well as the updates since then.  This was a very fun watch (even if it is 2 hours long) and I learned a lot about competitive Tetris.  It's so cool and it makes me want to try and join in but I know the brutally honest truth--it'd be a life time accomplishment for me if I ever got to the originally intended kill screen of level 29 on my own.

     

    Great documentary. I love his videos.

    Did you unlock the puzzle box? If not, do that, it certainly helps. There are a few others secrets that can really help if you're stuck. If you want clues/solutions here it is 🙂

    Thanks! I'm really hoping to get by this first act soon. I've actually done almost all of the puzzles in the cabin. Looks like I only have the clock and the 3rd painting puzzle to do. I just got the knife item today, didnt realize what it did.

    Yeah the squirrel totem head is helpful, I'm at the point if I have to play one more squirrel card I'm going to flip out LOL.
