“I try not to give too much life advice here” Why does he lie

[@vario6492]

He TRIES. Imagine if he didn't. Life advice up your ass

[@chrismenNL]

well maybe he's genuinely trying. but you're right tho, he's not succeeding

[@MrTheomossop]

The purpose of the streamer is what it does

[@vcraine]

30:00 NL making fun of the chatter who confused Fruit roll up with Fruit by the foot, while immediately after getting the 2 confused himself.

[@vario6492]

Finally someone employing the time stamp

[@kamilbidzinski475]

Can't believe he finally pulled off a claw deck

[@kornelparoczai1763]

He's so right about what he talked about in the beginning. We are too scared to play games wrong nowadays, not getting the perfect build, not getting the right ending etc. It diminishes the experience. I just realised this recently, I need to start playing games blind again to have the best experience. I haven't done that in so long and it's sad.

[@anthonywolf943]

I know people who avoid even updates, social media ruins your personal play experience, IMHO.

[@Beunibster]

I forgot how to have fun in Hitman, just trying to get the perfect score. It's so much more fun to just screw around first.

[@whyitsmedudeshaha]

Just played through Insryption blind and it was a very nice playthrough.

[@kaingates]

This is the main reason devs have streamlined games BTW. They are super afraid people don't get to a satisfying end so they cut out every part that leads to what could be interpreted as a dissatisfying end

[@hachnslay]

there is a demo of a scrabble roguelike. Chat - what are you doing not telling him about it?

[@bonestryke5391]

His point on gamers being afraid of playing wrong is SO true among those that are deep into the gaming zeitgeist. I had to force myself a few years back to change the way I looked at games and in turn learned to love them once again (I was starting to think I hated gaming because of it). Just pick up a game and go. If you don't beat it, doesn't matter. If you suck, doesn't matter. You can pick up and put down games at your whim. Play for fun and meet the game where it is. If it presents a choice, make the choice yourself based on your time with it (and yes I'm looking at you talent trees). Just enjoy.

[@prototype102010]

Agreed! About 2 years ago now I finally said enough was enough and deleted reddit, deleted facebook and just played games. If I liked the game, awesome! If I didn't, oh well move on. Turns out, without social media telling me what is good and bad, I fell in love with sooo many games. Partially because I went in with only my opinion, and partially because I played them how I enjoyed them. It really hit home when I was talking to my brother in law and he said the reason he hadn't touched one of his games yet is because "No one plays it anymore" like... bro... why does it matter if people aren't playing a single player game anymore?

[@jamesmaceaveli6679]

As someone who has never won anything from a claw machine I find this game to be a dream.

[@MekiGushki]

Variety, we are soo fucking back!

[@TheSquareOnes]

This is actually an amazing idea. I hope he revisits it with actual focus when it comes out, could have potential to be a great series. I can see why he zoned out though, every turn just being "drop the claw wherever, see what happens" no matter what is going on probably makes it easy to tune out the game when bantering with chat. Just gotta lock in sliiiightly more and this could be gold.

NL has been old man yelling at cloud for a long time, but this one was his piece de resistance.

[@PraiseZealus]

if anything is truly unhinged in all the years I've watched NL it's his food takes. He is just a real oddity. And also speaks like an authority on it. Very comedic.

[@eclect]

Isnt the "puzzle of the claw machine" that they're rigged to have no grip strength until the machine has taken whatever amount of money the operator requires before a win is allowed?

[@Nowolf]

yes.

[@zack8596]

Not all of them. Some the claw is just always set to be weak so you slowly maneuver the item over multiple plays. Some are odd in shape and are designed to be hard to catch the item. Others, surprisingly, aren't rigged but the prizes are subpar.

[@quickshot305]

i can suspend my disbelief for a one armed anthropomorphic rabbit fighting slimes but a claw machine that actually picks up items from the claw pit? too much

That bit about the fear of playing games right, and back in the day not doing builds in Diablo... that hit me. That's the reason I can't stand playing online games anymore. You don't run the meta build and you get stomped. Biggest reason I've really stepped away from gaming media like reddit or guide youtube channels. I always felt like I was playing wrong.

[@Pusahispidasaimensis]

Agree. Minmaxing kills the fun in games

I understand the impulse of making a game that is like Balatro but instead of poker it's (in this case) claw machines, but even moreso than that ill conceived roulette game this very obviously has no legs on it at all.

[@iamjeramy]

My 13 hours in the Demo of this game begs to differ. It might not go quite as hard as Balatro, but it is a top-tier game in my opinion.

[@iconica9516]

this is such a strange mindset people were comparing every game that's X but it's a rougelike to peglin when it came out, or to any other good rougelike with that template and now balatro takes the mantle just because balatro put almost everything in its demos doesn't mean other games have to do the same shit man

[@jaccubin]

@@iconica9516 The term you're looking for is roguelight, meta progression is antithetical to a roguelike.

[@jaccubin]

@@iamjeramy Some people play slot machines for thousands of hours, and you are entitled to your opinion.

[@foxdragon2276]

You can't just start comparing every roguelike/lite that comes out to Balatro just because Balatro did something different with gameplay, suddenly games can't be different anymore because one game was different?
