  • I think aliexpress EMF paint has a good chance of working. All you need is some kind of conductor (usually graphite, that’s literally just pencil lead) mixed with some kind of adhesive. I’m not sure how the adhesive doesn’t stop electricity flow (maybe there’s just so much graphite it doesn’t matter), anyways you can buy graphite spray in any electronics hobby store, a paint is just that with a different consistency.





  • Difficulty and fun are orthogonal, one doesn’t exclude the other. Look at something like Celeste, it gets brutally difficult in farewell but never feels unfair.

    A difficult game should motivate the player to get better, and that can happen while still remaining a fun experience. Nine Sols has a difficult combat system, but the combat feels fluid and fast-paced. Learning how to parry an enemy’s attacks and get in counter hits feels amazing, also you get lots of meaningful upgrades and rewards from everywhere.

    Meanwhile in silksong you have a character with insane horizontal movement, then you repeatedly get pushed through narrow vertical platforming sections with flying enemies above, spikes on the sides. Killing a bell guy by agonizingly hitting them 1 hit at a time before they dash away out of reach again is not a fun combat paradigm and doesn’t create the power fantasy Hollow Knight excelled at.

    The boss fights and >!Mt.Fay!< are fantastic but exploring the map just feels frustrating, especially when 90% of zones don’t drop any rosaries.
