Ah, Earth Dancer! Your dance has brought me joy and happiness. In gratitude, allow me to bestow upon you this recipe.
I go outside to touch grass and the only thing I do is sit under a tree near the water to play sotn and check 4chan once in a while.

>>570004223fuck you, steven
>>570002628It's hard to break the habit of being online 24/7, I'm with you.I'd love to go to Cafés and bookstores more often, but whenever I do I just kind of feel out of place and like I'm not enjoying myself. And I'm pretty sure that's just something that doesn't happen overnight and I need to do it more often to figure out what I do and don't enjoy about it and just get used to it.
>>570002628>>570007282What the fuck is wrong with you fags. Just go innawoods, enjoy the nature. Don't even need to bring your phone. Fucking zoomers man.
>>570007504Why not both? I go hiking semi regularly
>>570007504I can see nature just fine in my game.
I'm diabetic and I have a few blisters on my feet. I legit can't walk for too long.
>>570008437Is that Enshrouded? That UI is abominable.
>>570008000nta but that's just sad dude.Nature in games can be pretty as fuck, but it doesn't hold a candle to actually being out there
>>570007282>>570007504I only like going outdoor at night when everything is completely dark. The day makes me depressed and tired. It summer soon so the day starts at 5 am and ends at 11 pm.
>>570007504addictsme, I don't see the point in going outside in nature in the first place, I just sun in my garden and go for a run
>>570008782>Is that Enshrouded? That UI is abominable.It has somehow become popular when it is a very bland and generic openworld survival craft slop.
G'morning /Indie/
>>570010558Same happened to Palworld, and that one doesn't even have a consistent artstyle. I don't really get it, myself.
>>570007504Not either of those anons but just bumbling around nature isn't for everyone. Many people need something stimulating - picking mushrooms, woodcutting, hunting, etc, which is why they end up hating normalfag shit like regular hiking. The mind needs obstacles to overcome, and distance being the only obstacles doesn't always cut it.
>>570010558I think it's because it got just enough interesting stuff to differentiate itself.I got it because I wanted a game like Valheim but with a handcrafted map and on top of that it had the whole invite NPCs to your base thing, which I really like in these kinds of games, because it's always weird to build a big castle and then be the only person living in it.Sadly the game never clicked with me and there are parts of it I actively dislike
>>570011804Then fucking do that and stop making excuses, holy shit. You don't need a stranger on the internet to give you step-by-step instructions on what to do. Christ on pogo stick.
>>570012082I'm pretty sure >>570011804 is advocating for exactly that
To the anon who suggested to turn down day speed in VotV: Did they remove the setting for it? I can't find it.
>>570011550palworld was a meme because pokemon
Time to go do some actual story missions in Caribbean Legend, fuck man it's been weeks of dicking around but hey I did fully upgrade three ships, make 10k Doubloons and I'm not even sure how many Pesos because most of it is banked - I think somewhere around 40 million at a semi-guess?I also got gang banged in picrel.
>>570012769Nevermind, I'm an idiot, it's in the load save menu
>>570012836Indian chief wants me to save his people who've been enslaved, simple enough the slavers are just two rate 5 ships.Less simple: I have to use a specific rate 6 ships to do the job or they just flee. I'm massively overleveled for it so it shouldn't be too bad.
>>570008782What's wrong with it? Looks ultra generic to me. We've had the same crap for decades.
>>570013141The reward? All the pearls they'd been forced to harvest for the Spanish.
>>570013350>Nearly 3.7k Pearls of varying sizesWould probably have been more, but I did dick around a fair bit and let half of them die in the rescue attempt.
>>570011550>PalworldThat was meant as a low effort copy of ARK with pokemons, even the devs said it. That it exploded in popularity was something that even devman never thought it would happen.>>570012009>weird to build a big castle and then be the only person living in it.You can invite me to your throne room <3
>>570012082That's what you dinguses usually do - you tell someone to touch grass and then that someone thinks moving his legs on dirt is somehow supposed to make him feel one with nature. I understand that, but most people don't.
>>570012836>>570013141Who do you play as in this game? Predefined character or custom? I'm in the mood for some non-gay piracy with a captain whose story I want to write myself, so Windrose is out of the question because it's gay.
>>570012009>because it's always weird to build a big castle and then be the only person living in it.I would agree but games usually make other NPC helpers into hirelings and I don't like hirelings. I want members of my personality cult that serve me out of pure loyalty.
>>570015416>Who do you play as in this game?Sandbox or story mode? Half n half, the actual look and nationality of the characters is prefab and you can pick between a few, but then you can pick their backgrounds and stuff which greatly alters their stat points and special perk and stuff. No actual sculpting their faces and making the neon green goblin or whatever. Only one of the characters, "Charles" can do the story mode as it's his story, but any can do the sandbox.If you're interested I'll give you my thoughts on how useful each of the special talents are or would be and the different stat points, now that I have over 300 hours experience in the game.
>>570012009>because it's always weird to build a big castle and then be the only person living in it.Who forces you to build a big castle?
Anybody got a hint for me?
rift wizard 3 demo>he added crafting and mid-run bosses10 times the autism
>>570022912just move him right and do the wall jump thing off him
>>570023556I don't know how to move him. Hitting him doesn't do it, can't push him since he does contact damage.
>>570020878That's why I don't. But I would like to
>>570023735dont you have a move that knocks things back?
>>570023832I don't think so. I have an upgrade that increases knock back with special moves, but it doesn't seem to affect the purple guys.
Fear of the unknown is such a strong tool for these kinds of games.Except for one instance there hasn't been anything I would count as scary by standards of the few other horror games I've played.But something about just finding random shit that's clearly not supposed to be there and wasn't there before is just so unsettling.
>>570024052you dont have the around the world move?
>>570024123Yes! Got it, used it a bit, switched back to the charge and forgot about it. Thanks, fella.
>>570020627What about the names? Can I at least pick the names for myself?

>>570028746You're a foolish individual with a dreadfully untidy room.
>>570029112But at least I'm having fun with the building system and a map that THANK GOD isn't randomly generated. When was the last time YOU had fun, mmmmmm? MMMMMMMMMM? Speak louder, I can't hear your feminine whimper all the way up here.
>>570028732Honestly I don't remember for sure as it's been too long and I was too new at the time. I'm leaning on "no" though because the game takes itself fairly seriously and tries to stay as realistic and period accurate as it can, and having people call you XxBasedWeedLord69xX would probably be antithetical to that. Maybe in the sandbox though, that I'm less sure about since it's freeroam rather than story based. Not that that's stopped me freeroaming a fuckton in the story anyway.
>>570029508>I can't hear your feminine whimper all the way up here.I can tell your lip quivered as your inner monologue pronounced that bit.

I'll wishlist it anyway in case it goes on 75% off.I suspect it might at some point after the 2.0 patch this year, I think (don't quote me on that) that's their last planned major update before they move on to something else and that'd be when the big discounts start occasionally.
I'm continuing to play Nine Sols. I must say, the attacks which are normal-speed charges (NOT "I'm already behind you" BS from boomerang throwers) and ginormous floating weapons are "fair" when it comes to parry. I can parry them 100% of the time without blindly guessing the timing and relying on luck or any other nonsense. For example, I reached the point where I could reach Phase 3 of Lady Ethereal with 100% health.Meanwhile, I feel like stabs from normal swords and stuff are "unfair" parry. Timings are completely arbitrary, you have to guess when to parry, it sometimes does not work even if I seemingly parried it.And don't even get me started on Unbound Counter. If you're mid-air when enemy starts to red-without-green-attack, you're screwed. If there's adds, you're screwed. If there's any other non-ideal circumstances, you're screwed.

>tentacle plant hidden in the leaves she can't get out ofOh lord. Pretty funny though.Also this level's full of plants but no glowplants, so even if I really, really would like to upgrade my machete to a titanium one since I managed to find the ilmenite for it, I really can't. I made too much L.R.D. juice by D:2 and I had to breeze through 3, and 4 was a nightmare, so now I'm safe for injuries but SOL with toolsI got two sickles to clear the leaves in drop pods and at least the machete plus my str punts everything small
>>570097079SIT ON IT
rather anticlimatic endingI had a sense of impending doom and I yeeted myself to the other side, and nothing much after thata thornback near the bottom of the level started bothering me while I was trying to get into a pod and I fell down at the bottom while trying to fight him with my sickle instead of the macheteand that's the gameI basically had fuckall for tools unlike the usual runs where I manage to craft titanium shit and I'm loaded, but all my supplies were in the toolboxcouldn't even make a second machete because fo the bio-chem requirementsI could continue this, I've got two pieces of ilmenite saved up, but I'm just gonna fent my dude and call it a dayHe deserves to be happy
>>570098026Honestly, they all do. I do not like seeing this game.

>>570092115it's free light in a game where being able to see is a game mechanic. It's a shoddy implementation, but there was a reason why everyone cranked gamma up to 100 before.Nowadays, there's a game start option to make the entire cave brighter by default, up to full brightness. It'd kind of in a weird spot and the mod author talks about that too.

Reading and watching the destiny copium is incredibly entertaining. Some of them really think that the game literally dying is actual great marketing and will boost the number of players.
>>570115501Yeah, true enough. You can tell they really refined it in the second one. Wonder if there'll be a third. We need more Greek mythology games period.
>>570116442this but literally
>>570112853I wish I could leave one of these fuckwits alive, so they would spread tales about me, enough to know not to fucking try this or you'll die.Side note but I wish I'd picked the perk for more treasure maps available and better loot from them. The loot's not been bad really, but the last two dozen chests I hit up didn't have anything particularly special in them. I've always made a profit from them even without any bonuses, but I want to see some really cool shit like a multi shot rifle, you know?
>>570115997>Fuck Spaniards.Only if you are a cute loli.
>>570115997Spaniards are not humans. Like Finnish.>>570116507What's up with Destiny?
>>570121154Last update was yesterday. It's on maintenance mode now. No destiny 3 planned.
>>570121654I meant in general. Barely played it but I feel like people whine about it a lot.
>>570110546Stacking chests and crafting stations is my most hated part about survivalcrafts. I could've had a nice homestead with a toolbox near my workbench and an outside forge with a furnace and an anvil but nooooooooo, I gotta have a wall of 25 furnaces and an amazon warehouse with 500 crates in it.
>>570124214This is exactly what turned me off from ARK and more of these games that have long crafting times.Even Enshrouded, that I really like, has a similar issue where turning wood into charcoal takes 5 minutes. I get it's to encourage players exploring, but I find it irritating.
After at least four hours my equipment is forged.
>>570124896Congrats. What's that barrel on the left?
>>570124896you beat plates into shape in a virtual minigame for hours on end to make a subpar set of armor in a singleplayer sandbox game
>>570125340who hurt you?
>>570125151The barrel of water is for quenching tool/weapon heads.Quenching them makes the item do more damage or have more total durability depending on whether you cover it with fire clay before quenching or not, they can be quenched multiple times but the chance of the item warping and shattering increases with each quench, especially if you don't temper it between quenches.>>570125340>you beat plates into shape in a virtual minigame for hours on endIt turns out people will play games for hours if they enjoy those games.>subpar set of armorIron plate is the second strongest set of armor you can make in vintage story for now.
>>570125836Quenching is when you dump the burning thing in water, right? I thought THAT was tempering.Also I didn't know you could do that in a barrel, I just dug a hole in my blacksmith and filled it with water.
>>570126023I'm not sure about pits of water but with a barrel of water you can just hold right click with the item in your tongs until it's fully cooled down to quench it.Tempering is bringing it up to tempering temperature and then letting it slowly air cool.I wonder if there will be different liquids you can make and use for quenching that will provide better results in the future.
>>570126285With pits of water, you just press A to dump it in there. Or Q if you're a filthy animal.>Tempering is bringing it up to tempering temperature and then letting it slowly air cool.Ooooh. It's a lot more complicated than I thought. No wonder it's always an expensive upgrade.
>>570126464Tempering usually follows quenching in real life in finished iron and steel tools and weapons and is also much more complicated, as attempting to temper the item at too low a temperature can result in no improvement in material properties and tempering too high can result in brittleness of the finished object for no improvement anywhere else. And tempering towards the lower or higher ends of the desired ranges results in tradeoffs between strength and toughness, with the ratios or even whether or not the process becomes harmful at different temperatures changing based on the carbon content of the metal.Modern smithing and metallurgy is a complex field that required over six thousand years of trial and error for humanity to understand.Tempering in vintage story is thankfully far simpler and carries no risk.
>>570118817I just found out there's another Caribbean Legend game released a couple months ago by a different dev team but published by the dev team that made the one I assume you're playing. Any opinion on that one? I can't make heads or tails of which game is where and what the difference is.
>>570127827My respect for blacksmiths went up a lot, and I understand why it's to expensive to build a smithy in Stronghold.A soldier is 8 gold coins, a smithy is 100.
>>570128173I haven't played it, yet at least, but I believe the primary difference is an entirely different story / set of missions and stuff. The two are based on different older games (Sea Dogs: To Each their Own, and Caribbean Tales 2: City of Abandoned ships) which in turn are both derivatives of the same older game still. It's a bit of a confusing mess but don't mind it, think of them as cousins.
>>570129319>think of them as cousinsPlease, my penis can't get any harder.
>>570129319I'll wishlist both to keep an eye on the discounts. I just hope at least one of them will have a freeplay mode with something close enough to a character creator.I'm just kind of generally looking for some open world adventures with mercenary work and exploration and maybe trading on the side, with my own character whose story I get to define myself. Closest games I have to that are Starsector (getting worse with updates + still unfinished so don't wanna come back to it), Battle Brothers (just generally not very good + protag is an ephemeral "commander" that doesn't actually participate in the fights) and Horizon's Gate (actually pretty good but I already played it for 200 hours and there's nothing left). I keep searching, ever-hungering for more of that kind of thing.
>>570130663man o war corsairif it was good
>>570121807Well, most recently they had a massive sale that ended the day before they announced that the game was dead. Coupled with marketing announcing a bright future for the game in a good old Bungie style. Just another rug pull from Bungie, the fans are used to it. It mostly died because the new player experience is honestly one of the absolute worst in the market. The in game tutorials are outdated, the story content was completely cut but you're still forced to listen to dialogues and watch fairly long cutscenes with absolutely no context or explanation of any kind, the community is infamously toxic, not as bad as eve online or runescape imo but they're still really bad and intentional sabotage a lot of stuff. There are huge gap in progression that was supposed to be addressed but never was.It doesn't help that Bungie actively sabotaged their own game a few times as if they were afraid of being too successful.
>>570130663>I just hope at least one of them will have a freeplay mode with something close enough to a character creator.I mean, how freeplay do you want? Because I haven't been limited at all in how I've been playing even in the story mode, and there's a pure sandbox mode available.
>>570131985We talked earlier. You said story mode has a premade protag and you weren't sure of the measure of freedom given in that regard by the freeplay mode.
>>570131523>most recently they had a massive sale that ended the day before they announced that the game was deadwatAnd I think you're right, I remember trying the game and getting so utterly confused by everything. Sadly can't blame them for their community, FFXIV is said to have a positive community, but you're still told you can get banned if you get rude.
>>570133893urgh
>>570134000Oh now you're just being sealy
>>570133442Bungie has a long history putting things on sale right before announcing something bad. Really fucked up but in the destiny community, it's basically the signal that things are about to get much worse.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPSuk9SHQPw
>>570134519I'll panic if they announce a Myth sale.
>>570134712>Lung cancer bunny:(
>>570133213>You said story mode has a premade protagYes, Story mode is this guy, choose between one of four backgrounds for different stat spreads with him and take it away.Sandbox has more characters, but can't customize their looks or name.>and you weren't sure of the measure of freedom given in that regard by the freeplay mode.In regards to character customization I wasn't sure, in terms of actually playing the game I am sure. Story mode is a bit like Skyrim, there's a mandatory tutorial section at the start, but once you escape that restriction and exit the tutorial area you're free to go wherever you want and can safely ignore all the quests. There's like one or two quests that are time dependant and won't wait forever for you to start them, but other than that I put off the main storyline for literally two in game years and three IRL weeks before resuming them. Some have time limits, but only after you actually start them.Sandbox is that without the main questline or starting tutorial area, I believe.
>>570136659>Sandbox has more characters, but can't customize their looks or name.>Not even the nameOff the wishlist it goes, then.
>>570134712>cancerbunwhat the fuck bro
With how hard enemies hit in this game and how fast some of them are I haven't dared to explore the caves I've found until now.There's apparently a vast quantity of saltpeter covered rock in a cave directly connected to my iron mine.Seems that angry bug despawned or went elsewhere.
>>570136846I guess they didn't feel it important enough me too tbqh, that's RP tier shit which is purely in your head at best, they're like this guy with blurbs about their background and different start nationalities and stuff and your allegiance is what's important.No clue about Caribbean Legend: Age of Pirates, but I wouldn't put money on it.
>>570137235Yeah those saltpeter-encrusted tunnels are fairly common in certain biomes. You might be able to find a couple more deposits like that in the same cave system.Exploring larger caves kinda sucks due to the light source economy being what it is.Gotta fight you way in and out every time, or use loads of expensive materials for lanterns, or micromanage torches... or mod torches to last forever.But one nice thing about the grind is that it teaches you the differences between VS and MC spawning algos. Spawn locations aren't completely random in VS. If you spot a place where a creature you need spawns, note it. It will always respawn in the vicinity. Similar radius to mushroom respawns so it's not the most reliable in complex caves.

>there's been an exposed vein of iron in a hole in the forest I've been going to for my wood right next to my house this entire timeAt least I know where to get more iron now I guess.
>>570148387I appreciate the effort but it's fine. There are probably going to be other issues that will make me regret risking 20 dollars on it on sale. Don't think it'll be a game for me.
>>570147589Figures. Can't wait for them to get their own Restore France.
>>570148742>100 hours in this game>never saw ironFuck.
>>570148742Same here, found my first iron vein by exploring a random-ass cave and it's basically right by the entrance.Shit is huge as fuck too, I'm not sure if I'll even manage to use all of it before my planned migration
>>570149265I found a second vein in the same cave just a little further down.
>>570148742>richNice. If that's near surface you are in as good area for iron as possible.>>570149265100 hours is nothing unless you're rushing it. Just move elsewhere if prospecting shows none near your spawn.All in all iron is easier to get than any of the bronzes. You don't need to hunt two different ores to alloy and all iron ores can form absolutely gigantic deposits near mantle. Sometimes the deposits overlap so hard you could spend years digging it and never run out.
Didn't realize they got into fights with each other.
>>570150924minecraft skeletons do the same thing.
>>570148769Like what, can you give an actual example?
>>570150924>one-handed falxGross.
>>570151819Yeah? That's just a normal vanilla falx? Best bling version too.
>>570151320What if the game is hard-coded to have dialog for certain names and backgrounds? You change Captain Morgan Smith to Nigger Faggot but the game just reads [If characternamefile1 yes then use "Ah, Captain Smith, I've been awaiting you!" or some dumb shit like that.If a game is built with premades in mind - it's probably built like that for a reason. Else I don't get why devs still do the meme of making sandbox games with black slate protags that are given actual names and backgrounds. It's like Telltale's The Walking Dead, it's an awful way to design a character.
>>570156216Dialogue is another file, just as easily changeable. Source: the exact same thread I got the info for changing the name from.The portrait is probably changeable from what I've seen now but probably slightly harder as that's obviously more involved than simply changing text in notepad.Character model is the only thing that'd be difficult, you could maybe replace it with one or two others already used in the game, but doing anything completely custom for it is something way beyond my pay grade.If there's anything hard coded I can't see it or think of what it might be.
Choco you can't do that!
>>570157369Feverishly changing every possible mention of the main character like this just doesn't sound worth the hassle. Again, I do earnestly appreciate the effort, but it just doesn't seem like what I personally should be playing. A game for a different demographic is all.
>>570157597Someone already posted it. Also, what is the reference? I still can't tell.
>>570157742>Feverishly changing every possible mention of the main character like this just doesn't sound worth the hassle.Anon, do you not know that Ctrl+H in Notepad means one click to do that instead of many?I think you're just looking for excuses.

So what do you guys usually do with all of this trash? Just toss it all in the woodchipper and redecorate the place from scratch? At least that's what I'm thinking of.Also what the fuck, why is there some weird thing I couldn't get a good glimpse of living inside my console?This is very uncomfy.

Damn, they heard I like survival slop so the municipality sent out a notice that everyone living in my area should boil their water before consumption until further notice, because it has dropped below safety standards for, so far, unknown reasons.It's only a minor hassle, but I really hope they fix this by the time the temperatures start rising next week, I don't feel like generating excess heat in my home during a heatwave

>>570161887Welcome to the modern internetI have no idea what you two are arguing about
>>570162142Short story is I'm a weirdo who doesn't want to play games without character creation and another anon is trying to convince me that the game he's playing can be played the way I want despite only having preset characters with file editing. I keep saying I don't want to do that and he thinks I'm being unreasonable.
>>570162142>I have no idea what you two are arguing aboutMe neither, I just threw one bant at him and he started exhibiting burgerpol PTSD symptoms.

>>570162547One trend I've noticed in over 2 decades of 4chan is that people keep getting worse at anonymity. Just dumber.They keep imagining they're having a personal face to face conversations in replychains when it's just a stream of thoughts disconnected from egos. Interject in a topic and someone will think he's talking to one person.Plenty of other undesirable side effects too but that's a whole noter can of worms.

>>570160064Yeah I just take a woodchipper/hacksaw to everything except a single desk and chair.

>>570163585I want my own captain. And a changed name alongside a generic background with ambiguous details and an ability to pick from at least a few appearance options was the absolute barest minimum for me.

>>570165152The problem with VS story content is that most players encounter all the fun stuff randomly before going through the story intro for it.Also I can't believe there isn't a jewtoob upload with nothing but that noise. Vintage Story is too obscure for its own good.

Celeste is on sale, is it worth playing? It's really hard to find anything other than people saying "It's good" without explanation or exclusively talking about gender politics.
>>570166607YaIt's good
>>570166607YaA central concern in the study of gender and politics is the patriarchal exclusion of women from politics, which is a common but not universal theme historically and across cultures.[1] As the involvement of women in public affairs increased across many societies during the 20th and 21st centuries, academic attention was also increasingly focused on the changing role of women in politics. For example, a common topic in the study of gender and politics is the participation of women as politicians, voters, and activists in a particular country.[5][6] Since that participation exists in some political context, many scholars of gender and politics also study the political mechanisms that either enable or suppress women's participation in politics; women's social participation may increase or decrease as a result of political institutions, government policies, or social events.[7][8] Another common topic of study is the impact on women of particular social policies, such as debates over women's rights,[9] reproductive rights,[10] women in government quotas,[11] and policies on violence against women.[12]Gender and politics researchers have also analyzed the position of women in the discipline of political science, which has mirrored the broader societal trend of increasing inclusion and participation of women beginning in the second half of the 20th century.[1][13]
>>570165774Explosives was tacked on later. It used to simply be alcohol, tobacco and firearms.
>>570165382>And a changed name alongside a generic background with ambiguous details and an ability to pick from at least a few appearance options was the absolute barest minimum for me.And you got that. See:>>570151320look at the pic a bit closer.
If anyone has good reps for games that can be played while listening to audiobooks of university textbooks I highly appreciate it. This has been doing wonders for me while studying medicine and I just got done with playing Beyind Citadel and Ultrakill so I would like recs for some games that arent:>too text heavy>rpgs>strategy centered>rhythm games or anything requiring sound cues>horror games I recently started playing Lunacid but I have a crippling feeling this aint the type of game for me, I will give it a couple more hours to see if it picks up any steam
>>570167108And it's too expensive to change the plates of the printing press for their papers?
>>570166252Maybe it's because back then people didn't get into every petty argument and then stretch it out for fucking hours. Or it was clear from context they were different posters. Most of you dinguses create chain-arguments with multilayered topics and then get upset that the other guy doesn't read your thoughts.

>>570168893>Ultrakill>LunacidI have a hunch you may be a lost cause, but I'll try anyway.>Far Far WestA new coop shooter with robbit cowboys fighting skeletons using guns invented by people that would be mocked even by Fallout 4 designers. I use it relatively often when I don't have the energy to focus on my task.>Vanguard GalaxyOnly recently found out about it. Sort of an open world space sandbox. EvE Offline wannabe, lots of idle tasks like salvaging and mining, and combat isn't very thinking-heavy either.>Botworld OdysseyMy favorite creature collector. Real time autobattling where you get to decide when and where your robbits get to deploy, and you can also use personal active abilities to assist them in battle. Lots of potential for just grinding out a bunch of XP or currency, though it's also not a hundreds upon hundreds of hours grind.That's all I can think of for now. Most of my games are "focus-heavy" because I'm an understimulated goblin who constantly needs to occupy his brain with information.
>>570168893So you want some no-thoughts, reflex-based shooters? Amid Evil, Cultist, DUSK...

>>570170293Ooooh havent heard of these im definitly givint Far Far West an instant try later>>570170718Going to try out Dusk and Cultist as well, got those on my wishlist for a while>>570171125I do read the books myself but sometimes I need a small mental break from them where I usually just play videogames. However I can still have that small break without putting off learning by just picking up more textbooks to listen to instead of the game, they tend to often be just small suplementary stuff from the long lists our professors give so I dont need to be as highly focused on them. It's not like listening to youtube videos while playing games is particularly uncommon but I would much rather listen to something a bit more productive than some guy reading off a game's wiki page and giving a b tier plot summaryThe grind never ends though...
