Me playing starbound looking to loot the most inhospitable planet I can land on because it’s where I can find the most overpowered procedurally generated weapons. World hospitableility is a random number between 1 and 11, and the quality (damage, defense, alt-fire modes, etc) of loot scales with the hospitability. For reference, the final boss of the game is on a tier 7 world, so looting a tier 10 planet could let you one-shot the final boss in the game with an op rocket launcher (or other loot) or something.
Slightly related, I went through all of deltarune without changing armour or weapons because I couldn’t figure out the weapons ui.
instead of spending 30 minutes to level up I will instead spend 30 minutes save loading
Just think about how much that XP will be worth since you are under-levelled ! It will totally make up for all that time spent dying!
That said the time you spent learning the mechanics might well be worth it
I find that obsessing over killing a boss as under-levelled is a much better teacher of game mechanics because you need to exploit it to its full extent and stretch the physics engine to its limits
Some say there are two kinds of players the ones who will challenge god with a stick and the ones who will challenge the first boss with a blade that can rend time.
and I am both. If I get my nose in a fight but they bleed, I will slog though that 3 minute dance for 1 damage for as long as I need, but yes if I know a battle is coming I’ll make sure I have time rend on draw.
