@bluebonics I see what you meant then, and I agree with that part. I added CMYK colors to my comment as well in case other people reading this may be interested.
@bluebonics Using the RGB model, as you suggested, doesn't make sense in this case since we are looking at paint or dye rather than the color of light.
Using the RBY model:
Blue+Red=Purple
Blue+Red+Red=Magenta
Blue+Blue+Red=Indigo
Edit:
Using the CMYK model:
Cyan+Magenta=Indigo
Cyan+Cyan+Magenta=Blue
Cyan+Magenta+Magenta=Purple
@Slowdive You can't create that color without adding a little red to a lot of blue - that's where purple came into it. Blue+black and/or blue+white will not allow the creation of that color - some red must be added, and therefore it is no longer blue, but a variant of purple, more specifically indigo aka blue-blue-red. Perhaps it's even closer to blue-blue-blue-red, or 4 parts blue & 1 part red, but breaking it down to that level isn't very useful in my opinion - unless of course you're trying to match the color of the walls in your office to the color of your Switch, which might actually be not too bad of an idea now that I think about it 🤔
If blue is mixed with red at all - even 99% blue & 1% red - it's a variant of purple. It's really that simple. No red in it, it's blue - any red at all, it's purple. More red than blue is magenta, and more blue than red is indigo, exactly in the middle is a true purple.
People tend to disagree on the names of colors past the tertiary level (people obviously disagree about the tertiary level too, but overall it is basically standardized in English), and obviously color names are a free-for-all rabbit hole below that point, so if we are going to stick to primary, secondary, or tertiary color names, which I suggest we do in this case, this color is quite clearly closest to indigo. It's mostly blue, but there is some red in there, which is how to describe the color indigo (aka blue-blue-red, or I suppose "blurple" could also be an acceptable name lol, as blurple communicates the same thing: blue-blue-red). Furthermore, if it was truly blue or truly purple, we wouldn't even be debating it - which is exactly why it's indigo.
Really loving this game! So far though, I only have one Pokemon's dex entry completed with all 4 photos. Not trying to 100% the game or anything, but I appreciate that there are a lot of objectives to keep you busy if you want to keep playing, especially since the first game could be 100%'d in what, 3 hours or something? Lots of stuff to do here. It's kind of amazing too how different each area can be - between progress levels, alternate paths, and night and day, some of these areas have ~9 different variations. Having a blast and a half over here!
I have ~50 or so shinies in total. I've caught or hatched ~15 naturally, and collected most of the others from gifts and giveaways. Every so often, I've received (surely hacked) shinies via wonder trade as well.
@DashKappei Yes, I'd say it's at least great, maybe even excellent. I really enjoyed it. I thought the variety of ideas and objectives were fun and funny. I was especially impressed with how many genres they managed to cover in a game about a cloud from stealth to tower defense - even first-person shooter. Does that answer your question? I guess I'm not sure what you were asking.
@The_New_Butler I suppose I'd have to make some assumptions on your thoughts, but perhaps you might say "it's too easy for too long" or "the early mechanics are not deep enough to hold my interest and see the game through."
It just feels a little unfair in my opinion to say that it's "shallow" and that there is "little skill involved."
Going back to bananas for instance, if you said "I wish this sweeter", it would be if you held out a bit longer. If you don't want to wait for it to be sweeter, I think that's fine too, but that doesn't mean it isn't sweet. If you said, "I wish this was crunchy", then yeah, you're definitely not going to like it.
If you like the concept, but you wish the game itself was deeper and more challenging, you just have to get a little further. I think the Kirby games are a great parallel - the challenge/depth isn't in beating the game, it's in 100%ing it.
Sorry, maybe I'm just having a bad day.. I wasn't trying to pick a fight or anything. Honestly, maybe I was a bit over-surprised at your take here because I 99% agree with your opinions in general 🤷♂️ I just really liked Rain on Your Parade. It made me laugh and smile when things have been difficult, and I'd hate for other people to miss that because they might think they wouldn't enjoy the game for maybe the wrong reasons.
@The_New_Butler Like I said, of course it's fine if you don't like it.
I'm just saying the reasoning you provided doesn't necessarily apply. It'd be like saying I don't like bananas because they're sour, but really I just ate a banana that wasn't ripe yet. Telling other people that bananas are gross and sour - while accurate to my experience - isn't really a fair reflection of what bananas actually taste like.
In this case 20% of the game is what, 15 minutes? It's only a couple hours long to beat and maybe 5 hours max to 100%. I just think you may have jumped the gun on your assessment.
@The_New_Butler It's like Kirby or Yoshi games in the sense that the game itself isn't very difficult, but there are plenty of challenging (and hidden) objectives if you are trying to 100% it. There's a new game plus mode after you beat the game that adds even more objectives as well. It's fine if you don't like it of course but I think it's a bit unfair to say it's too easy/shallow if you played less than 20% of the game.
@Zequio I read the article before my first comment - I understand what it says. I just don't believe that this "game" actually exists. I could be wrong, but it looks fake - Like someone made a video, and not a game.
I must say it's a bit disappointing that she doesn't actually play a song or anything... Kind of odd to make an instrument, show it off, explain how it works, but then not make any music with it. Maybe she's more of a programmer than a musician? Still weird.
Went to a couple of Super Potato shops in 2019 - Picked up Picross 2 for Game Boy, Mario and Wario for Super Famicom, and Tingle's Balloon Fight DS for DS. Also Snowboard Kids 2 for N64 since it's much, much less expensive than the US version.
Finding games there feels like a miracle when you have little to no familiarity with the Japanese language. It's difficult to hunt for specific games/manga/etc since the Japanese language has a syllabary rather than an alphabet, and while there is an order of course, its not quite as simple as looking for the "M" section, especially when many games have different titles than they do in the west anyway.
Save up your money for when covid is manageable and go visit Japan!
@roboshort Yes, definitely play Earthbound and Mother 3 - they are both incredible experiences. I wouldn't bother with the first one though (Mother 1/Earthbound Zero/Earthbound Beginnings) unless you really like the other two. Keep in mind some of the mechanics are a bit outdated by today's standards, and a copy of the guide book (available online for free) is almost essential. Still, I highly recommend you give it a go, especially if you're into old-school JRPGs - they are legitimately very special games.
I believe only some of Sherlock Holmes is public domain - its something like after a certain point in the canon, it's not public domain anymore. Something like that.
Edit: Okay, from what I can gather from a quick google search, Sherlock eventually becomes nicer, and more respectful towards women, and that version of Sherlock is not in the public domain.
@Antraxx777 1. Deluxe added a huge new multiplayer battle mode that was not included in the Wii U, which addressed probably the biggest complaint most people had with the original 2. Deluxe includes the DLC which of course added a significant amount of content 3. The Wii U Gamepad creates a significantly different multiplayer experience that can't be replicated on Switch 4. You can carry 2 items in Deluxe - huge difference in how the game plays 5. New items not found in the original that significantly changes gameplay 6. New characters, karts, and kart components 7. Up to 8-player multiplayer (Wii U was only up to 4) 8. Smart steering option in Deluxe
Never played Assassin's Creed so I can't say for sure. It's possible you could guess my opinion though based on the examples I gave in my previous comment regarding what I consider to be "different enough" to count as a separate release.
Combining the sales of the two versions doesn't make sense to me - it's not like Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, but like more like Diamond and Platinum. DKC Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta 2, and NSMBU - sure, pretty much the same. But this game and I'd say Captain Toad, Hyrule Warriors, and Pokken Tournament as well are, by my estimation, different enough to be counted as separate games.
Isn't this more the case that the adapter is rubbish, and not necessarily mouse and key in general? Kinda like saying glasses don't work when really you're just wearing someone else's prescription.
I keep putting off 2 and 3 even though I own Trilogy on Wii hoping that 1) it will be re-released on Switch and 2) it will be upgraded in some way from the Wii version. If they show us 4, and Trilogy is still not announced for Switch, I'll start up 2 on Wii.
Edit: So far I see PC Gamer and Escapist Magazine reporting online co-op, but I wonder where they are getting that information, especially since most sites are not specifically reporting online co-op. Also, YouTube, the Nintendo eShop page, and the Steam page all do not mention online co-op.
I never finished Zelda Picross.
Or Pokemon Picross.
Or Picross 3D.
Or Picross 3D 2.
Or Picross DS.
Or that unreleased GBC version of Pokemon Picross I downloaded the fan translation for.
Or Super Mario Picross on the NSO SNES app.
Or Picross 2 (picked it up in Japan a couple years ago).
So... probably shouldn't be getting any more picross for approximately the rest of my life 😅
If you can't tell if something is blue or purple, it's indigo. Indigo is the color inbetween blue and purple. It's 2 parts blue, one part red. It's a fact, not an opinion. ::mic drop:: 😄 Hahaha... seriously though 😠
