Wow. I mean that can only boil down to “wasn’t broke, tried to fix it anyway” right?
But yeah thanks for the reminder here, I was all set to grab Cuphead but hadn’t stopped to think about the lack of anything appropriate to play it with.

i like the joycon disconnected d-pad! its only bad for fighting games where you have to do motions and such
― ciderpress, Saturday, 20 April 2019 17:00 (four years ago) link
stick would also be fine for cuphead
Sad lol that we’re now referring to four buttons as a “disconnected d-pad”!
Maybe stick would work but I know that pretty much every ps twitch shooter I’ve played over the last few years has given me the choice and I’ve ended up favouring the d-pad.
― JimD, Saturday, 20 April 2019 17:06 (four years ago) link
yeah, for intense dexterity games i have to use the d-pad. analog is out of the question.
pretty much any d-pad hurts my tender thumbs after hours of use (i had to quit celeste on ps4 two different times because of minor thumb injuries!), but the joycon version ends up hurting much more quickly. :(

i'm jealous, i wish i could!
― these are not all of the possible side effects (Karl Malone), Saturday, 20 April 2019 17:28 (four years ago) link
yeah other than fighting games i prefer using the analog stick for anything with more than 4-way movement, even compared to a good dpad

You’ll be telling us you play Tetris with a stick next (my son does this and it makes me feel like I’ve failed as a parent (as does the fact he keeps his y-axis uninverted in FPS games)).

Inverted y axis hasnt been a thing in forever.

like a telescope. not like an fps avatar

actually upon suddenly noticing what thread i'm in i wonder if it's a mouse/thumbstick difference

I have to play Tetris 99 with the Joy-Cons bc dpad is mandatory and I accidentally hard drop with the pro controller’s dpad which is unacceptable. But doing diagonal inputs on a dpad is the pits as far as I’m concerned.

xp you're posting in the switch thread where the correct way to do it is gyro instead of stick for Y-axis
― ciderpress, Saturday, 20 April 2019 19:56 (four years ago) link

if you don’t invert Y-axis you’re a tory sorry

I've gotten weirdly so good at Tetris 99
I said "fuck it" and stopped trying to learn T-spins and just started playing with good garbage technique and I've come in 1st four times this past week.

I was happy to see that they changed the scoring for the 2nd Tetris 99 tournament; unfortunately I didn't realize it was even happening until the end of the 2nd day. :(
Also, Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight finally went on sale, so I picked it up last night. Enjoying it very much so far.

i now have more hours on tetris than i do on botw + mario combined O_o
found this simple t-spin triple setup that helped me finally wrap my mind around them after a long time of mostly non-understanding (keep an eye on the pieces on the left, everything else is just filling in the gaps)

well dang it now i wanna figure it out. playing that guides axiom game has broken me and now i am running it thru caesar ciphers and keyboard shifters and stuff

OK I have started opening my Tetris games with a T-triple set-up and you know what? sure. It's fine. Thank you.
What is annoying is end-game... there is no reallll logic to what pieces will flip across the landscape to their intended location, and 90% of my late-game deaths are the result of me trying to flip and important piece westward and having it run aground

Played a bit of Cuphead, it's like an adorable, beautifully designed Contra! I think I need to remap the controls, though, since it's set up to be pretty cramp-tastic

steamworld quest looks fun

That company seems to have taken a turn for the, well, turn-based. I loved the Metroidvania ones, but didn't buy the last one. Will look into this one.

heist is older than dig 2 fwiw, they've been alternating platformer and strategy games
― ciderpress, Thursday, 25 April 2019 21:36 (four years ago) link
Had no idea!Been playing a bit more of Cuphead, which has been a blast. The fights really mess with you. I was attacking a slot machine, and not only was I unclear if and how I was damaging it, every time I died and thought I got a bead on it for next time, its attack would change up! Sneaky.

Dark Souls for $28 or katamari reroll for $21? Ive not played either, and I've saved the island express.

Both imo

I forgot all about Katamari! But $20 I can deal with, so bought it. I've never played, but it looks like stupid batshit fun.
