Ah, no, I was definitely saying that, and I still think "retro" is definitely incorrect. It was just confused that your first reply didn't actually contradict me. I don't mind at all that you think I'm wrong, but I'm not convinced. When everyone else but gamers seem to understand the difference between retro and classic/vintage/antique, it's the gamers using it wrong.
I don't see how your first paragraph contradicts anything I said, so I'm confused by your use of "actually". You can call old games "classic", although I'm not sure any of them are old enough to be called "antique". Maybe an old Pong home machine or something. Those words all largely mean the same thing.
I would say "retro style" is redundant. Retro is always referring to the style. Looking back and taking styles from the past is what retro means. Like modern bell-bottom jeans, or cars like the 11th generation Thunderbird which looks more like the original that any previous models.
The Wikipedia article uses the word to describe it.
This was the last year [4th generation] for the convertible until the "retro" models of 2002–05.
Gamers are the ones with the damaged vocabulary. Everyone else know the difference between vintage and retro. ;)
Vintage emoji right there. Or wait... is it retro because the font is modern?
Retro means modern games that remind you of old games. Like Shovel Knight or UFO 50. There's not really a time limit to that. Shovel Knight is quite old now, but the graphical style it copied is even older, so it's still retro.
Obviously, I'm sort of joking, but y'all do use the word "retro" wrong. You're talking about vintage games, not retro games, and yes, I will die on this hill. Gamers are the only people who don't know the difference between retro and vintage. Everyone else gets it right: car people, clothing people, furniture people, sneaker people, jewelry people, etc.
10+. I don't remember exactly. So, yes, much of the damage came from that.
That's so funny! I was just playing outside the other day and was thinking of suggesting some kind of high-contrast mode for playing outside in the sun. I'll have to try the new brightness setting!
Ah, I see. I haven't died with an unblessed ankh in a long time. The backpack shouldn't be hidden. It should be exactly where you died, right?
It should be exactly where you died. There should have been an explosion of loot. That's the floor where you'll find your grave on a future run.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I was doing tons of damage with each dart. If it could have been even more, wow! This build was very good.
curry-favoring
I'm sorry, I can't sit here and let this go by. It's "favor currying", or "currying favor", with the latter being the common expression. Curry favoring is what I do at Thai restaurants.
I can't wait until Daylight Saving Time is even more fucked up because we're almost due for a leap hour 1000 years from now.
No, actually it's rogue agents at OpenAI that were given an impossible task. They hacked their way out confinement and immediately started decompiling games.
Who needs a +6 Hourglass or some wand? I need 10 darts!
Behold the glory!
I thought I was imagining it, so I took a screenshot. Is this by design? They didn't always seem to be crooked.
Someone's about to get really hurt.
Just for fun, I tried dumping it on a charging Evil Eye. The stored damage had decayed to around 200, and it did 63 damage to the eye. Not bad, but not enough to kill it.
Killing a slug with the Runic Slash stored a lot of extra damage!
I successfully ascended after dumping every upgrade into the rogue's throwing knives
(thelemmy.club)
0-challenge. I played as a Freerunner, of course, since I was dumping into a thrown weapon.
I didn't use any upgrades until after I had the Troll made the knives +2. I got lucky and found a +2 Sword at one point, and +1 Scale Armor. Those helped a lot.
I used one upgrade as a Scroll of Enchantment and got Corrupting which was great. I was corrupting enemies left and right. I ended up having to craft like 6 Magical Infusions. That's a lot of energy, but I did have the Alchemist's Toolkit which gave some for free.
My trinket was a +3 13-Leaf Clover, which was both fun and maddening. Hitting for minimum damage (often zero early in the game) for 5 turns in a row will have you cursing RNGesus! It was kinda nice when I found an early Sickle. It was only +0, but it topped out at 20 damage. I abused sneak attacks to make sure I didn't miss, and it hit hard when the clover rolled right.
I burned through all 4 Ankhs. Mostly because I'm so stubborn about using health potions sometimes. Also because I was running around with +0 leather armor. I forgot to save my cloth armor and sold it. I was momentarily tempted to take the cloth armor out of the new vault quest, but a +3 Crossbow was a much better choice.
[Fixed] Vault Quest: Tapping on the Strange Door from a distance causes a "You don't have a matching key" error when you arrive.
(thelemmy.club)
I got all 10 tokens then tapped on the door to walk to it, and I got the error. If you walk a step away and do it again, it'll happen again. Seems to me like this shouldn't happen. It should either open the interface for the "Strange Door" or not do anything at all.
The patch notes say this was added on purpose, but then say it was removed as a bug in beta-2. Did you forget you added it on purpose, or am I missing something? Is there a differnce between "from" and "in" the fog of war?
[Fixed] The new Dwarven Vault crashed when I tried to imbue my staff. Had to start all over.
(thelemmy.club)
I tried to imbue it with a Wand of Disintegration and the game immediately crashed. I was still in the mirror room at the time.
I'm playing Battlemage, and have the talent that returns the previous staff wand once per player level, not that the staff currently appeared to have an imbued wand, not even Magic Missile.
Update:
This time I quit my game before trying again so it would save. The crash happened again, so it's repeatable. I was not in the mirror room this time, and trying to imbue other wands crashes, too.
I definitely have it saved. See screenshot. But it never auto-fills. What's the deal?
