Mini-Games Within Games

[@FUNKe]

Just wanted to give a general update down here. The upload gap was due to me having a very, very stressful 2020. I moved 4 times, went through a lot of personal trauma, and so I needed a lot of time to get my bearings in order again. This video isn't a culmination of the last 7 months, it's a relatively light video I made in a short duration and i'm aiming to upload more routinely without worrying about 1-upping myself each time. I don't wish to go into detail on what exactly knocked me off my horse, just know i'm doing much better now- I'm talking to a therapist regularly, i'm eating well and socializing more than I used to, and i'm not as deeply entrenched in negative thought patterns anymore. Thank you for those who continue to follow/support me over the years, I know i've gone through lots of different 'phases' of content and activity and i'd like to continue growing and posting rather than being the type to disappear without any notice.

[@zsomboregri758]

Good news:someone fan-made one

[@alexgarza12]

Chao Resort Island if you want a fan-made stand-alone Chao Garden. I personally think it's not as good as the adventure games because what made Chao Garden fun for me, was that it was a stop from all of the action of the Sonic Levels, and a reward for collecting shit in those. The fan game is just the chaos and it gets a tad boring, but that's just my opinion...on the flip side, there are more mini-games for the chaos to play, so there's that.

The Yakuza Series as a whole is Masterclass in balancing the goofy side activities with hard hitting serious mobster drama plots. Hell in Yakuza 6, Kiryu has lived such an insane life with such crazy characters that there's a Bar Minigame where Kiryu has to make normal conversation and learn how to be a civilian and make normal friends. It's actually riveting, I swear. The same with his short Taxi Driving career in Yakuza 5. You just drive people to their location but have to make small talk or avoid traffic, and again, absolutely riveting minigames. Half the time you spend in this series isn't even gang related, it's just Kiryu hitting the town and having a good time.

The nightmare sequence was also in the base Metal Gear Solid 3. If I remember correctly, when you were in the prison cell you had to save while lying down on the bed. Then restart the game. When you load up your save, it would start the demo. You would know if it worked as well if you checked your save file icon on the memory card, it would have unique red flowers next to the gun rather than the standard white flowers for the save icon. Very cool, subtle details that blew me away back then.

[@BunnyFungus]

A small child gets asked to (read: forced) to help some old dotting professer research whatever very readily available information there is. That same 10 year old tends to stop world ending threats and shady buisness practices. You got your elements like Water and Fire, you got living things like Bug and Flying, and materials like Rock and Steel. There you go thats it thats pokemon

[@cober5768]

There are 18 currently existing types: Normal Grass Water Fire Fighting Flying Psychic Poison Ghost Rock Ground Electric Bug Ice Dragon Steel Dark Fairy Pokemon change types when evolving or mega evolving, some Pokemon can have multiple types at once, Pokemon types have different strengths and weaknesses depending on the opponents move, less effective moves doing as low as 25% the base damage, and super effective moves doing upwards of 400% the base damage, these moves have a chance to crit, which doubles the initial damage, and if a Pokemon uses a move which is the same type as it is, it deals 150% the damage that would have been dealt under the previously established conditions. In Red Blue and Yellow, Speed played a role in crit chance calculations, as well as crits ignoring status changes. This was fixed in Gold and Silver. As of Diamond and Pearl, Pokemon moves have 3 possible categories: Physical: Attacks which use the attack/defense stats for calculations Special: Attacks which use the special stats for calculations Status: Moves which change the stats of the target Pokemon As of Ruby and Sapphire, all Pokemon have an ability, which add a passive bonus to the Pokemon depending on the types of abilities it is capable of spawning with. I could go on, but I have yet to understand IV's and EV's. Forgot to mention immunities: Ghost is immune to Normal and Fighting, Normal is immune to Ghost, Fairy is immune to Dragon, Steel is immune to Poison, Ground is immune to Electric, and Flying (or Pokemon with levitate or an air balloon) are immune to ground.
