Heh. Probably could have been phrased a lil better since 40+ is the true dead zone of stat gains, it's pretty standard stat boost fluctuations in the tables otherwise. But the 20s are a sweet spot for the bros if you wanna grind up for the gauntlet. Woe to anyone who did that when Bowser was 40+.
In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Mario and Luigi's level-up stat gains are bizarrely based on what level Bowser is currently at. If he is at a "good" level, they will be several times more powerful. The game does not tell you which levels are good and which are bad.

The thought of this system in Etrian Odyssey is very funny to me. Jumpscared by Ur-Devil Omega.
more RPGs should do what mega man battle network/star force do and just let you randomly encounter higher-level versions of bosses you previously fought. the newgens need to know how it feels to get jumped by quickmanV3 when you're still in the earlygame

A very nice surprise, got a Switch 2 as an early birthday present! Having fun with Mario Kart World so far.

Incredibly cursed shiny spawn (below the satellite dish). The guard rail protects it from long distance sniping. I can't get into a safe distance to lock onto it at all. Targeting it from the ground is a no go, the building is too high up for me to target it.

Battle formulae for Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold. Quite similar to the ones used in Etrian Odyssey Untold, but there are some key differences. Unfortunately there's some that are unknown at this time.

Starting from Etrian Odyssey Untold, there is an oversight where if infliction rates get too high (surpassing 3276.7%), they'll go into the negatives instead and will miss.
This is most visible in EO2U as both you and some bosses have some very overkill rates. Not so much in the other games though.

Did you know that the Casual difficulty mode of 7th Dragon 2020 was bugged?
How it functions is simple.
-Total EXP and SP payouts are multiplied by 1.05.
-Enemy HP is multiplied by 0.85.
-Damage is multiplied by 0.85. All damage. Including yours. effectively negating the HP cut benefit.

From 2020-II onwards there is a separate sheet used for the Casual difficulty mode that lowers the stats of enemies. (Casual in 2020 was uh... not functioning correctly to say the least...)

Super sold on Air Riders. First game was pretty fun but this looks to be a giant improvement.

Goddammit. What a devastating loss.
Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

Looked a bit into tool damage in Silksong by messing around with the game's memory. With 3 needle upgrades (I'm fairly sure this affects tool damage) as well as all 4 crafting kits, this is what I got for most of em (wasn't able to get 2 of the tools yet), so spoilers inbound, you were warned. (1/?)

Supposedly the Rogue's Triple Kiss skill in 7th Dragon can randomly get a 30% damage boost. Anyone got any documented cases of this? No matter how much I tried, I couldn't get it to happen, and looking into the game's code didn't turn up anything here.

During the hunt Olympia mission in EO3, you can pick up a Sentry Medal from a dead soldier and turn it into his CO to get a free Sarissa spear. However, did you know that if you keep it until the end of the mission instead, you'll get a different reward? A Fortune Choker!

i have never seen so many people act like one popular indie game coming out had some kind of moral obligation to not overshadow other releases or to set a precedent for pricing or whatever like what's been going on with silksong on here. it's so bizarre. silksong isn't the only popular indie game

In the Persona Q games, skills have a power assigned to them. This power is the exact amount of damage the skill would deal if you and the target had the exact same stats, and there were no additional multipliers to affect damage, and you're playing on Normal difficulty. (1/?)

I see why Atlus USA translated that damage type as Almighty in later games. (This text normally can't be seen.)

I am glad to see “Sakurai hates modern Kirby” is dead in the water.
Game looks real good. Air Ride but with more polish, budget, and dev time.
