Ranking parry mechanics for all the games that I can remember right now

This is all my opinion and I'm not actually that good at videogames

#1 ULTRAKILL

It feels great, +PARRY is awesome, the noise it makes is great. I love that it fully heals you too. The only thing I don't like about it is that I gotta turn off the white flash because that single moment of white is enough for me to get lost. 10/10 parry

#2 Nine sols

Honestly I like this parry more than ultrakills, but the unbound encounter or whatever it's called, the one where u gotta hold the button to charge it? That was pretty hard to get the timing on. Otherwise I love this parry. 10/10 parry

#3 Hyper Light Drifter

Bullet deflect skill is awesome, I love playing baseball. It's not higher because it doesn't make a great noise 9/10

#4 Rain World

Artificer explosion parry is awesome but I've never done it on purpose. So like. 7/10 I bet it'd feel really cool

#5 BotW/TotK

It's fine, but the timing is hard for anything but guardians, I don't actually know if I parried on purpose once in TotK, uh. Eh it's fine I guess. 5/10

#6 Silksong

I don't like that it takes silk to use the parry skill and I never used it in actual gameplay. 3/10

However! When you and a foe swing at each other at the same time, and it makes that noise and you don't take damage? Awesome. 7/10 but I don't think it counts because I've never done it on purpose.

#6.5 Hollow Knight is the same as silksong's second point, feels nice, I've never done it on purpose 7/10. It's not higher because it barely counts and I want to keep silksong and hk together

#7 Dead Cells

Dude I hate this parry. I can't get the timing right no matter what I do. I don't know what part of the animation is actually the parry. Terrible parry. Hate it. 0/10 :(

The humble Bloodborne parry:

[waltdisneyconfessionsrage]

It’s so normalized, they teach it to us from birth. Some people live their entire lives never seeing an issue with the images above.

[ghost-buddha]

:))))))

[draconaregina]

It’s actually a pretty good highlight of how generally people don’t notice they’re being racist, since the diversity in the various characters depicted leads me to believe they thought they were including everyone.

Training vid at my old job had black, asian and natives as the criminals, and the white as the only one that was just an honest mistake -_-

Yelling “we got company” right before being attacked by a horde of enemies probably feels good as fuck for an action protagonist

[triggermangravy]

Can confirm yelling "Here comes the noise" makes firefights more epic in video games

[asthedeathoflight]

Resisting the urge to Um Actually this dragon novel because it has the dragon eggs be like three or four feet wide but there is simply a limit to how large hard-shelled terrestrial eggs can be. No matter how large the animal is, the embryo needs oxygen, and oxygen needs surface area. The larger an object is, the lower its surface area relative to volume, and the less oxygen the embryo can receive. We think of large animals as having porportionately large young because mammalian pregnancy has the unique benefit of allowing for the size of the young to scale with the adult because their oxygen is provided directly through the placenta, and almost all the megafauna remaining on Earth are mammals. But this is not the case for species which lay eggs! For fuck's sake even the sauropods hatched out of eggs barely larger than basketballs! Your hatchling dragon would be impressively enormous if it were the size of a house cat. Stop trying to make me believe that this (ROUND!) dragon egg somehow supplied enough oxygen to develop an infant the size of a large dog or even bigger. If it were possible the dinosaurs woulda been doing it!!!!

[achillbeing]

I love you /lh. Experts going off on their particular fascinating cool topics and adding unexpected context to things we take for granted is like my favorite thing this was delightful. Talk to me more about eggs and geometry and biology all you want :D

[achillbeing]

Amazing concept

[triggermangravy]

"No limits" except for being locked into one area of the city for the tutorial, only having 3 life paths to choose from, only being able to play as a Solo or Edgerunner, not able to join a faction or gang, and can't upgrade any guns but the already legendary ones

[spaceshipsandpurpledrank]

Have you played since before 2023?

[triggermangravy]

Yup, liked it even less after the 2023 update lmao

[spaceshipsandpurpledrank]

Oh sucks to suck I guess. I love it right now

[triggermangravy]

I liked what rpg elements it did have back then, it's def a good shooter game now but a mediocre rpg

Also if you ever genuinely believe that Canadians are "nice" go into the comments section of any post talking about Tim Hortons or First Nations.

[cosmiccomrade]

or immigrants (coming from white people in fucking canada)

[neechees]

Yes, thats actually what this post was about. In case anyone wasn't aware, White Canadians are suddenly pretending that Immigrants (South Asian immigrants especially) only started appearing like 5 years ago and are mad they see a brown Asian person working at timmies sometimes and to them, this has "ruined" Tim Hortons. This post is specifically about the insane racism directed towards South Asian immigrants and First Nations

[triggermangravy]

The racism in kkkanada is soooo fuckin bad, the most vocally racist people I've met have been my own people or from other tribes, they were some of the ones that made fun of me for my braided hair when I was a kid, even my own family members assumed I'd be a drunkard and/or a crackhead before I was even born

This is in the province considered leftist by the rest of the country

Seriously, Dark Souls is so good about this, I accidentally became female and didn’t even know about it until I was changing my gear.

Sorry, that last bit is funny to me because I’m just imagining this knight changing and looking at a pair of breasts like “…Those are new.”
