2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

OK, never played hollow knight. this seems to be a "sink one million hours into it and git gud" game, and I have an arcade stick that I've been dying to use constantly on a game with.

Does hollow knight use both analog sticks? can this be played with a standard 1 stick, 8 button arcade stick?

Use the keyboard like a real gamer.

A Vast Handcrafted World

What procgen/AI do to us

Also wtf its only 2 weeks away!

Edit: glad to see more npc around this time, HK is just too barren and depressing it's always happy to run into Quirrel and Cornifer.

At least what the perception of proc gen is. I can only name one metroidvania roguelike (A Robot Named Fight; Dead Cells doesn't count, regardless of its marketing), so this genre is probably way harder to make with proc gen. To me, someone who doesn't enjoy Hades, it feels a lot like people only played Hades, acknowledged its proc gen is bad, and then said all proc gen is bad and asked for hand crafted levels as a response. There are so many games that are good at proc gen.

[–] TheSambassador@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Absolutely. Procedural generation is not the same as AI generated. Spelunky's level generation is great and the different combinations of hand-created rooms with smart rules on how they connect. Unexplored (that's the name of the game) is a full on multi-level dungeon with puzzles and combat. Proc gen gives these games their life, but designing a good proc gen system is level design unto itself.

Even if they are bugs, this kingdom is ridiculously huge. I find it hard to believe that there are so many places that we never found in hollow knight, also an absolutely sprawling game.

This is a great watch on the internet degeneracy of Silkposting

Awww, I was hoping for a new Deadpool VR trailer...

[–] simple@piefed.social 3 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

I understood the joke but seems nobody else has hah

[–] Klear@quokk.au 3 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

That's one more person than I expected!

Also, oddly enough, I was only half-jokíng. Never played Hollow Knight, but I'm cautiously optimistic about Deadpool.

There's at least three of us here

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 0 points 14 hours ago

Wow. I gave up on waiting for that game years ago.

[–] baltakatei@sopuli.xyz 1 points 19 hours ago

It's happening!
