The Case For The Filter Demo aka Whining About Sucking At Clair Obscur

If games have "filter points" that turn players off - skill checks such as tough bosses - should that filter not come before a game is bought? Anyway, I come up with the case for the Filter Demo(tm) while whining about how I absolutely SUCK at Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Eggs+semen=successful episode of the jimquisition. This is a mathematically proven formula. Also the Jaggy hat is fire 馃敟.

The image of the kid with the Nintendo Power Glove is Jackey Vinson and is taken from the film The Wizard. He is also guilty of child molestation; maybe do not use his image?

Not excusing his behaviour (or questioning the validity of your request) just bringing up the sordid reality that [him] having been a child actor the likelihood of 'doing unto others what was done unto him' is regrettably pretty high.

You may or may not be aware that there is a mod that adjusts the timing windows in Clair Obscure. It's reasonably called "Easier or Harder Dodge and Parry" on Nexus Mods. Installation seems to be as simple as dropping a few files in a directory (don't have the game). In case I am able to put links here: https://www.nexusmods.com/clairobscurexpedition33/mods/28 THIS is why I love gaming on PC.

Good recommendation. I was thinking about this just now when listening to the video. I do hope Steph sees your post and gives it a try; I am enjoying the game tremendously!
