Discworld is an interesting example because it's like 8 different series sharing a setting, so if you want to read one of those series, you'll skip the less-related books that were published in between (but still be reading your target series in release order).

On one hand I greatly respect the gentle approach to balancing they took, and the franchise has never been more competitively balanced than it is now. On the other hand, what do you mean we're still doing Cr MK drive rush, no punish counter on drive rush, half the cast is still throw looping, etc?

Now I watch beginners in e.g. Sajam Slam and like... the DP costs resources up-front AND you get the big kahuna hitspark that tells you to go wild (and you probably have autocombos on). It may be scrubbier and easier... but I've never seen somebody question their fairness, which I think is the goal.

As a scrub learning fighting games in 2010 I was frustrated by invincible DPs because my risk reward was wildly skewed -my opponent can get out of my pressure ANY time they want and all they're risking is me doing medium medium special???
Double A (@big2xa.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm going to call this a reaction to people getting frustrated by DPs in SFIV. Partially because SF has backed away from meterless invincible reversals (not sure where other games are on that front), but also because it's a system designed as if combos are still SFIV-level difficult.

Octopath wins on a technicality because every character has their own entirely independent plot, but that's also its downfall, as characters have NO interaction with one another's stories. I hear Octopath 2 is better about this but can't speak to the specifics myself.

Suikoden does not; there's 108 characters you can recruit but many are NPC shopkeepers, and most of them have no relation to the story. I don't remember the plot at all but iirc it's a pretty standard non-ensemble linear plot.

Sega even did that recently, even if they aren't showing all their games yet? Like they confirmed a new jet set, ninja garden, golden axe etc. all at the same time. Obviously its harder with new original titles but doing a batch means more ppl might walk away interested in smthng.

To output in 4k, you may need to create a new timeline in your project and manually set it to 4k dimensions, then copy your project over to that timeline. Depends on the program so I can't get too specific sorry

Codec is listed as "format" at the very top - you will have to select a non-mp4 file output to use codecs other than h.264/265. Which of course means you'll need a program that can play other file types but yeah.
Double A (@big2xa.bsky.social) reply parent
You're probably on top of it but random things I'd try: force 4K export even on 1080p footage, different codec, constant bitrate instead of VBR/CQP just so you have more control over bitrate, and also crank up the bitrate and see if it's just a matter of the crt filter getting screwed by compression

I think "Watchword" works with this limitation the best? Still doesn't look like it'll expand your vocab, but it allows for short-word play, where the others filter out people who aren't hitting scrabble bingos. More passive skills + grid play instead of single words at a time.
Double A (@big2xa.bsky.social)
There's a sudden rash of "scrabble balatro"s hitting steam (at least 3). I think there's an inherent issue to a game like that: players are limited by their vocabulary, and the games don't inherently do anything to expand them. You're stuck playing what you know unless you do independent study.
