It's the difficulty higher than Nightmare difficulty. Are you saying it doesn't show up when you push "new game?" I wonder if I accidentally did something to unlock it without realizing it.

Coincidentally, my ratios are similar. :P Regardless, a Nightmare win is no small feat, so kudos. :)
--- Quote from: CaptainSublime on October 03, 2021, 11:40 ---I was lucky to get a unique (green( assault rifle, as well as indestructible armor, and with Survivalist I still died twice during the run. But hey, a win is a win. Hope you are well, and looking forward to whatever crazy tricks you figure out.

I haven't played JH a whole lot lately, tbh, but maybe I can do a recording to get back into it or something. :)

Yes there is definitely no Apocalypse difficulty on my games. I am going to guess that it unlocks when you get one or more diamond badges. Currently my highest badge is 'Gold' of which I have 2. How many diamond badges do you have? (Notice I didn't ask if you had any, rather the number haha.

Thank you. A little luck and persistence and at least a few good choices. (eg don't do the Military Base on Nightmare, it is a great way to get dead. And don't leave corpses between you and the exit if you can help it.)

Totally cool. What else are you playing just out of interest? Cheers Torm, hope you are well and all that. :)

I'm currently sitting at nine Diamond badges. :) I need six more to advance to the next rank, and that's seemingly unlikely, because they're all the toughest challenges, and the latest version ramped up the difficulty considerably. :|

I play a lot of different things.
I've played a fair bit of "Subnautica," and its sequel, "Subnautica Below Zero," lately. It's a survival/crafting game that takes place on an alien ocean planet. In addition to having a well-balanced crafting system, it has a pretty vivid and gorgeous world that's sometimes awe-inspiring and sometimes terrifying. :) I think the original is better than the sequel, but there's enjoyment to be had in both.
I've also played a fair bit of "The Long Dark." A survival/crafting game that takes place in the Canadian wilderness in a post-apocalyptic permanent winter. The story mode is being released episodically, (the fourth episode of a planned five was released just a few days ago) and to be honest, I'm pretty underwhelmed... but the non-story "survival mode" is pretty awesome. :)
I also found myself picking up "Stardew Valley" again recently, after not having played it in four years. (I witnessed Natalie Wynn of "Contrapoints" streaming it, and it gave me the urge to play it) :) It's ostensibly a farming simulator, but it's got a bit of everything, including mining, crafting, combat, fishing, and a social aspect where you interact with the townspeople.
I'm also playing through "Not Tonight." Very similar to "Paper, Please," if you're familiar with that game. Ostensibly, you're playing as a bouncer who has to decide who to let into a pub, or whatever, but it's got a story woven in there about a post-Brexit dystopia, where there's a conflict between Britain and the rest of Europe, and you're kind of getting dragged into it.

Did... did you say nine Diamond badges?
Faaar out. Dude I have only two platinum badges, and zero Diamond badges. I find that Nightmare runs are pretty intense and require immense concentration. more so than on the ol' DRL. And while I was pretty decent on DRL I wasn't godlike. I was pretty proud of my one ever Angelic badge, for a NIghtmare Angel of Shotgunnery with 80% kills. But nine diamond badges? I think the game is much harder now too, (JHRL) what with the medusas and the summoner enemies. (A few days ago I nearly finished an Angel of Carnage Nightmare run, but I messed up and ran out of rockets towards the end. Dammit, I think I would have had it too.
Impressive on those Diamonds. Well done.
As to the games you mentioned, I am familiar with Subnautica and The Long Dark. Not that I have played them, but I have watched playthroughs of them on YT with a few of my favorite Lets Players. I know of Stardew Valley but have not played it. And the last one you mentioned, "NOt TOnight" sounds really interesting.
Thanks Torm, cheers. :)

I think it's worth noting that all of my Diamond badges were acquired in earlier versions, when the game was much easier, so don't be intimidated by that number or anything. Actually, now that I think about it, I wonder if I should reset my badges, so I can re-acquire them more fairly.
As for Not Tonight, I'm going through it on my Youtube channel. There's a playlist here. I think the story and characters and writing are interesting, and I like the retro artstyle, plus the subject matter is a pretty ballsy choice in the current socio-political climate... but I have some misgivings about the actual gameplay. It mostly consists of studying people's IDs to decide whether or not to let them in, so I don't know how interesting it is to watch.
