@TrashpandaKoori Yeah used to happen to me a lot when fighting Abrams or Billy, nowadays I just try to stay calm because one single wasted parry can put you “off-sync” against them, and if I can’t fight I backdash away like you mentioned

The Billy Experience in Deadlock

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

@TrashpandaKoori When she did that random parry I realized she was panicking so I just went for the heavy melee, it was a gamble but I kinda knew that at that point she wouldn’t react (cause that’s usually what happens to me when I panick against Billy)

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?"

I feel like Castlevania: Simon's Destiny is what put me on the radar as a modder/game creator for a lot of people, arguably more than Golden Souls.

There's even a James & Mike Mondays episode about it!

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?"

So far this. Still the most liked thing on my page to this day.

@Nechayevvv I hear ya. This was my second match as him, I wasn't in "the mindset" yet 😅

@the6isloose @freefallgracie Mine would be H1 - H3 - H2018 - H2 - tie between H4 and Rob Zombie H1

H20 just didn't feel like a Halloween movie to me, starting from the OST, the only interesting thing about it is Laurie Strode's character development basically, I'd maybe watch it over H5 and H6 but that's it

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

@jamlexdeadlock I fought a Graves with this build and after dying a single time to her I just counter-bought Disarming Hex (plus already had some Spirit resist already) and basically shut her down the entire match, dunno if it was a skill issue moment on their end

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

I like the funny Deadlock skeleton

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

@dominosstack @GOREJ1RA H4 mask is still way better than H5, and has some lineage to the original Kirk mask as well, albeit probably either a Don Post recast or a movie recast.
I'd say the neck extension and shoulder pads are what kinda ruins this Myers look rather than the mask itself.

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

@GOREJ1RA I'd argue they managed to make it look decent compared to the actual movie mask, the dramatic 1978 lighting also helps.

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

Very close to start working on the dev video finally, as soon as I'm done with the 3D models for the upgrade stations.
Is there anything you'd like me to talk about? I have a few things in mind but I'd also like to answer some questions.

@MundaneMystics I wish you the best, unfortunately shipping to Italy costs more than the actual product so I can't really afford it, if you do get some cheaper shipping options going you'll have my money though 👍

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

Sorry for the lack of updates, I'm almost done with the weapon upgrades, functionally, they're all in, and now I also have created some cute little icons for the upgrade menu.

Once the upgrade stations are ready, I'll consider making a new devlog video. #goldensouls

@StockeTepes Castlevania in my opinion is defined by the fine blend of western and eastern horror culture, with monster designs and ideas taken mostly from western sources but with a japanese flair.
Plus the music should always make you feel like you're in a gothic power fantasy.

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

@illseer Yeeah but at the same time it's basically a Marlin which looks super cool (both ingame and irl)

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

@DeathyDL @MADSVPERVILLAIN I think Mina gets highlighted because of her relatively straightforward kit, but as you said, positioning and matchup knowledge are essential to play her so it’s definitely a mistake

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

@Busbecq Especially cause search engines suck nowadays, but I think it's important to always have your decisions determine what the code is gonna be, I don't approve of just copy pasting AI generated code without any kind of understanding, wouldn't even call it programming. (2/2)

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

It's a bit disheartening to see the current modding landscape and how vibecoding with AI is taking over everything, you have to always double check everything before you get excited to make sure it isn't AI bullshit.

On the bright side, it makes me appreciate real projects more.

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

@Busbecq Do you understand the code, would you be able to dissect it and explain how it works, were you able to add your own changes to it?
If yes, I don't think it's vibe slop, if no, I guess it is.

I'm not entirely against AI as a "search engine" to figure out what you need (1/2)

[Andrea Gori @Batandy_]

@giygas_kaz Yeah it's crazy, they could use their time to be more productive and IDK, do AI people even know the meaning of being productive?
