Yeah pretty much. Deltarune is so special, I don't think I'd change pretty much anything about it
The one thing is that chapter 3 felt a bit hollow for me, too formulaic if that makes sense, but obviously chapter 4 MORE than made up for it

It depends on the game! I value one or the other depending on what the game is trying to do.
If the game is linear, I like having a challenge, but if it's more open like Metroid, then I prefer freedom.

Playing a bit more, there are so many cute little touches, like the sword sheathing/unsheathing animation uncovering the battle UI, and the sound of footsteps from your wiimote so they sound closer to you. This game clearly had a lot of passion put into it

Yeah I guess so, even in a casual playthrough Norman is a big roadblock!

Deltarune is really really good at infiltrating your brain and never leaving

I mean like. People make art without having a purpose for it all the time. Making art for the sake of making art feels good

The Norende idle minigame can get axed though. It will not be missed

I also don't exactly know how they managed the network and streetpass stuff but I really hope Abilink and send moves are still there, they are just SUCH cool concepts
Kind of unbalanced though. I wish they found a way to balance them better but it's really hard

Yeah, I really hope you have fun with it!!

I actually don't know if the story wasn't a focus, I just think it doesn't work very well. I do think there is real effort there and it just... has a lot of issues with tone and pacing
One of the many reasons why I find Bravely Second fascinating. I kinda prefer that over a story that's just "okay"
comment in response to
post
In my opinion, Bravely Second is even better mechanically! But even worse in terms of story and dialogue.
Well, it has some really nice character dynamics, and I really like the protagonist! But the story itself is just... yeah, not good.
comment in response to
post
Yeah, Bravely is waaaay more about RPG combat than it is about story. I absolutely love it, it's probably my favourite combat and class system ever.

Good luck, it's a hard mental barrier to get over!
It sort of depends on the community too. Bluesky is very optimized for like... exposure to everyone all the time, so I try to mostly keep to myself here, but on the fediverse I'm a lot more open about my sexuality and such

Good luck! You can do it!
One of the things I loved about the demo was how clearly personal it felt, so. Remember to be yourself, that's all I can say

That's understandable, but self indulgence is good! It makes me very happy to see people enjoying what they like without shame
It's hard to let yourself openly enjoy things, but the more people do it, the easier it gets for everyone else. Social shaming sucks

Don't make me post the "holy shit two cakes" meme at you!!
You're making something really cool that I'm super excited for

Like, Triple Deluxe is a really fun game, but man Superstar Ultra does a much much better job at making each part of the game feel distinct so you know where you are
You drop me into a Triple Deluxe stage and I couldn't tell you which world I'm in

Yeah, chapter 3 feels more like filler to me, I was a bit disappointed with it. Chapter 4 is where the REAL meaty stuff is
Very "HECK YEAH DELTARUNE IS BACK" chapter
comment in response to
post
Oh this is really cool to see actually!
comment in response to
post
No, you're not the only one, I'm fully with you. Chapter 3 feels like more of an intermission than a full chapter, something to fill time. I was a bit disappointed with it too.

Absolutely! Writing for yourself can be a lot of fun

bun,

Yeah, holding yourself to impossibly high standards is also super common
Please remember that there are no requirements for being a woman (or for being attracted to women), you don't have to prove yourself to anyone. It's hard to unlearn, but I hope you can do it!
comment in response to
post
In my experience, that's been a really really common experience among my transfem friends. Being raised as a guy, it's super easy to be made to feel like your attraction to women (even to yourself) is inherently wrong or exploitative or something
My point is, it's hard, but you're not alone!

I fuckin forgot about VAULTHALLA. Early Homestuck does not miss
comment in response to

I didn't get that until I was older because I played the Spanish localization, which translates that as "if something smells, ask Larry and he'll know" which makes no fuckin sense but at least it vaguely rhymes. Vaguely

Heck YEAH it's super good
Personally I feel like the emotional punch of SC is really hard to beat, so that's my favourite, but yes Third has so much going for it and Kevin is such a good protagonist
comment in response to

Oooh, Third is your fav from the Sky trilogy? That's kind of unusual!

Turns out it's actually really easy to trick people into believing something if you sound confident. It's a really easy to exploit brain glitch
I'm sorry you had to deal with that friend, but it's good that you're unpacking it at least

I think the funniest part is having Petscop in the playlist thumbnail. Like yeah you're correct I haven't played that
