    Not explicitly trans but I want trans mega to win again this week soooo

    I’ve gotten back into randomizers last weekend by playing La-Mulana 2 randomizer. I’m not sure if it’s because I haven’t memorized it like I had the first but it took me like 12 hours to get to the end where I can usually clear the first in under 3 hours. It was also a rude seed that made me kill 3 bosses with only a knife though I guess that showed me how easy the bosses are in LM2 as I didn’t struggle that much. Maybe I’ll do another randomizer today for LM1. Or maybe Career Day

    Anyone like/play randomizers?

      • I’ve seen multiworld HK randomizers, where people’s items are often in a friend’s world. Seems interesting, I haven’t even finished vanilla HK.

        Generally don’t see the appeal in randomizers in games not designed for it. OTOH, I enjoy some roguelites, so I guess I can see how someone who loves a game a ton but needs something to be different than usual could get some more life from the game via randomizers.

          Basically yeah. I like them for the same reason as roguelites in that there’s a mastery aspect to it. You need to build knowledge and expertise in order to successful clear both randomizers and roguelites. I’ve played dozens and dozens of La-Mulana randomizers by now and I’ve gotten scary good and I guess I just think it’s fun to take a game that has a reputation for being challenging and unfair and get to the point where I can crush it quickly

          Some games work better for randomizers than others. Most Metroidvanias, Zelda, Pokemon, Final Fantasy work well
