  • Love Gnome. I enjoy that it’s not trying to be windows and it’s not trying to accommodate someone else’s workflow - it’s opinionated. It says “this is the gnome way of doing things, give it a go we think you’ll like it”. And I really do like it.

    I still use windows for work, I have a Mac from an old project, I have kde on one machine and half the time regardless of what I’m using I’m just in a terminal sshing into other machines anyway, but I always find my time in Fedora+Gnome to be my happy place, whenever I’m using it I never wish I was in a different environment, which I cannot say for anything else.

    Kudos to the team, congrats on further maturing this excellent platform.


  • Yeah the perfect block counter move is way better than the combos for being actually achievable - especially as a lower levelled character. I do really like the combos when you git gud and can pull them off they’re super satisfying. KCD is weird because it feels like it should be a pure player skill game like dark souls or something timing blocks and strikes, but it actually isn’t, its actually secretly like xcom or something where everything has percentage chance dependant on yours and your opponents levels and how accurately you hit the timing windows. So it can be super frustrating as a new player because you try to block / strike / combo and you can do everything correctly but because you’re playing a peasant boy fighting an experienced mercenary solider you don’t pull it off and get stomped - but the game doesn’t feed that back to you. It’s a bit off putting. Then later when you’re high leveled fighting a low level bandit you can lazily mash whatever button you want and miss the timing window by miles and you’ll still make mincemeat of your foes regardless.

    Also yeah mace>>than sword for anyone in armour.


  • I super enjoyed it. My general advice is to train with Captain Bernard until you git gud. Both you personally learning the combat system but also Henry levelling up. Also my personal advice is to session herb picking (collect every marigold, nettle and belladonna, there is a good spot to find them in the fields half way between Neuhof and Rattay) and do loads of alchemy - it’s super dull but one you have infinite saviour schnapps and marigold decoctions you can make loads of money and have access to health and save points. Then you can take the game in a more exciting way as you can boss combat and take more risks. Otherwise just nothing else like KCD. Really immersive and fun game.







  • This game doesn’t let me immediately live out my fantasy of being a big man elite operator type and sorting out problems with a single bullet. real-navi-patriot

    (Shooting a gun is a thing I could conceivably do in real life - unlike solving a situation with words or any other intelligent interaction, which is totally beyond me, as is taking advice/learning from a woman, all of whom I consider subhuman and beneath me)
