yeah i could see that being annoying, but it managed to hit me perfectly right, i thought it was the perfect escalation of difficulty for where my skill was at

That's honestly what's sold me on it lol, I basically played my first loop this way so it was just a little more experimentation and practice to get to 5 marks instead of 3. Plus the new bosses have been extremely good

Looking for an indie action adventure game to play released in 2026? Consider your options:
Looking for an indie action adventure game to play released in 2026?  Consider your options:
Option 1: Fuck's Quest II
Option 2: Mina the Hollower

Aesthetic:
Fuck's Quest II: ✅Looks like a shitpost game on Newgrounds from 2010
Mina the Hollower: ✅Looks like a classic 2D Zelda game with Castlevania inspirations

Gameplay:
Fuck's Quest II: ✅Plays like a classic 2D Zelda
Mina the Hollower: ❌Plays like Dark Souls

Items:
Fuck's Quest II: ✅Clear descriptions. Items kept on death. Can have multiple equipped at once. Used to progress through the story.  Have a purpose.
Mina the Hollower: ❌Items lost on death.  Unnecessary. NPCs insist they’re useful but gameplay mechanics teach you there’s no point.  Most can be completely ignored with no effect on the gameplay.

World:
Fuck's Quest II: ✅Opens up as you obtain more items and progress through the story. Small world and plentiful shortcuts.
Mina the Hollower: ❌Open world where nearly everything is accessible without items or upgrades.  Direction is suggested but missable.World Map:
Fuck's Quest II: ✅Has a map accessible at any time.
Mina the Hollower: ❌Would greatly benefit from a more detailed map for the player to reference.

Enemies:
Fuck's Quest II: ✅Scale as the game progresses.  Plenty of places to relax.  Difficult areas easy to determine and avoid if needed.
Mina the Hollower: ❌All enemies have a large amount of health and deal a lot of damage even when fully upgraded.  Almost no safe areas.

Expectations vs Reality:
Fuck's Quest II: ✅Looks like a game that would be good for one or two laughs but plays surprisingly well.
Mina the Hollower: ❌Advertising does a poor job of setting expectations for how difficult the game is and how the game actually plays.

Starting a new game and immediately looking up the speedrun time for it is a habit I hope to break myself of someday

yeah ok lol I didn't actually dig into the commits but again, as someone whose work makes him use ai, this is exactly how claude writes code - extremely overly verbose comments

Sorting some of my thoughts. Yes, the situation with SRDC (speedrun.com) is bad, your communities should consider moving in the long term, this has happened again now. However hastily jumping ships is also not the proper move. Take your time. Consult your communities. Keep your voice heard.

I didn't actually pay that much attention to it until they posted a huge ai generated wall of text on r/speedrun a month or so ago

yeah it sucks ass nowadays lol, I tend to check githubs of stuff before I ever download it

amyrlinn @amyrlinn.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
yeah I probably should have picked a better word, but basically the gist is i think both src and therun are fucked

amyrlinn @amyrlinn.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
yeah as someone whose work makes him use ai for the job, the initial breakdown of the changes posted is very obviously, like, "claude here are two terms of service. please describe the changes between the two" and then just massaging it until it comes out spooky

amyrlinn @amyrlinn.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
src's new stuff is suspicious but also be careful of therun, that site uses quite a lot of ai coding and writing

yeah, I just got sucked into a rabbit hole of watching some guy break down worlds gameplay and conceptually the outplays, the map maneuvering, everything is so cool, ironically he does almost no talking about the fights themselves lmao

riftbound is not a 5v5 cooperative competitive environment where the glory of victory is sweeter tinged with the knowledge that I could have been instead faced with the bitter dregs of defeat. Also apparently lux isn't viable anymore
