    I watch your videos almost every day man. I've gone back and seen every one for years. This is my first 100% going to buy in months.
    I feel like as I get older, and do more and more dev work myself, my interests slowly switch more and more towards weird niche passion projects, and further and further away from AAA. This game? This one seems like a very special, very niche, passion project. And I'm super into that. Also, I love Kidneyripper.

      Gotta respect Splat's hustle. I feel like a lot of daily uploads on YT are too derivative or contrived to stand on their own as independent content. His formula that works well for the platform and manages to consistently produce useful content though. I've experienced the same thing as I get older, my interests have shifted from sprawling complex games to more self-contained projects which focus on executing a more straightforward idea over a shorter playtime. The Steamdeck has been real helpful for that.

    • @nilsjonsson1133
      @nilsjonsson1133 Рік тому

      Not true. Paladins, also called the Twelve Peers, are twelve legendary knights, the foremost members of Charlemagne's court in the 8th century. The earliest recorded instance of the word paladin in the English language dates to 1592, in Delia (Sonnet XLVI) by Samuel Daniel. It entered English through the Middle French word paladin, which itself derived from the Latin palatinus, ultimately from the name of Palatine Hill - also translated as 'of the palace' in the Frankish title of Mayor of the Palace.

    - It's best to randomize your stats at the beginning, try to aim for all blue numbers with your two main stats being 17 ~ 18
    - Always look the character's stats, and abilitys before deciding what weapon and armor they will use.
    - Don't invest into the same skills that your other characters have, most of them don't even stack.

      There's also much more to this game than shown. Check enemies, and some are more damaged from the back or the side. So check new enemies before every battle! You can also change the party starting battle positions, you also get extra defence if staying still, which is why when a creature attacked, first time they usually miss or do zero damage! Also, you have to "use" magic in order to level up, so a fireball, when levelled up, allows use of the next higher fire spell, etc! Very deep game, just like cRPG's should be!
