Shameless shill is shameless.
Meh dunno if I get anything. Proverb is the most likely.Also it's annoying how all of those new bundles are not put into the cart automatically. You have to click on the bundle with the game you already own and then add that to your cart for 3 cents off.
>>571872196Proverb is good. real chill. They have a bunch of other games that are basically the same thing, and one that mixes it with a detective story. It's neat.
>>571867853Summer sales lost their magic, when sales in general became more common and I got old enough that time is a much more limiting factor for playing games than money.Nothing from my wish list jumps out at me and the few games I was considering either have no discount or a very small one

>>571889989So far she'll say a few words when you look at certain items. I like her voice though so I don't mind. You can turn dialog off if you want. Only other voiced things so far is the letter that you start the game with and some standees that have some voice lines.

In that phase where games just aren't fulfilling. I'm sure it will pass in time, but kinda sucks.I have other hobbies too, but I'm mostly stuck at home in front of my desk at the moment
>>571828491It's fine, you'll be missing some background on the red planet/blue planet thing, which doesn't really come into play into either game.Actual spoiler, though it doesnt really amount to anything: in one of DxM's endings it turns out you were ancient Martian aliens and everyone's gonna move to the Earth since Mars is fucked.The only other thing connecting the two games is Solomon, some random supposedly immortal guy/thing appearing in exactly one mission in DxM and as a secret boss in TS. Nobody knows what the fuck is the deal with him/it/whatever.

My one shill post this sale. https://store.steampowered.com/app/684000/Wooden_Ocean/Half off and the best rpgm game I've played. I've put almost 200hrs into it and still haven't done everything. Mostly because the dev will never stop updating it even thought the game already has an ending. He just keeps adding side areas, new enemies, fuck ton of new gear or entire new systems.
>>571891136No one does. If you talk to any indie devs they all tell you all traffic and wishlists and with it sales come from their following on socials and trying to do campaigns on reddit and such.Steam itself just exists to insert itself and grab the 30% cut.
>>571897260>buying "sales" that are lower than 90%
>>571893508is that a collection of all the games?
>>571898332It looks interesting bu I am put off by games that aren't finished.

>>571901929Heck yeah! That's why I'm not buying onirism, wooden ocean, void stranger, curse crackers, cross code or kenshi. I bought watch_dogs 1 2 instead!
>>571902276It will never be truly finished. The dev has said he plans to work on it until at least 2050. He is a turbo autist about his game.

>>571906240Nta but maybe youd like Psychopomp gold.
I really need to find a way to work out through my choice paralysis. I have like 50 games I want to play.Jak and daxter, ratchet and clank, phantom brave, mario rpg, wind waker, bloodstained, onirism, just to name a few.
Game is a giving a lot of Syberia vibes now. But with less yapping.
>try windrose because PIRATES>20 minutes in and I already have to mine copperI fucking hate mining.
>>571913646kek, its one of those games that I just have no clue what Id be buying from the storepage so I just haven't
>>571916267I knew what I was going into, but now I realize most videos I watched skipped over the base building part. And the fucking harvesting.I'd post screenshots, but I'm playing in French, and my character is called "TRUMP IMPEACHED SOON", so it'll annoy people if I post him.Hold on, starting a new character.
>>571916502au pas, au pas, au pas
Void was is interesting. I personally think Multiverses is better. The cloning and magic casting is very fun. The game's music is very bugged, I fought the final boss of normal difficulty and it went mute instantly.

>Dysplaced has been out for monthsOh damn how'd I miss that
The worst part about Scav?The damn text font.
Okay, Windrose is interesting. I really like that you have different stamina for attacking and blocking.But I really dislike how big numbers are. I just started the game and my starting copper weapons already deal 120 damage per swing, and the stuff I spawned with gave me 400 defense in total.And ironically the game is brutal.>opens cursed chest>four zombies spawn around me>kill me instantly
>>571902268Yeah, it's a remaster of the entire series plus a bit more to turn it into one single huge game

>>571928490No idea, haven't tried it yet. Looked cool.
>>571877824Steam almost never delists anything on its own. They just have to comply when a developer demands it.
>>571877824Yees, yeeees, blame Steam for the dev being a scummy bastard...
>>571902276It has multiple ways to reach an ending. Like the other guy said the dev is probably going to keep working on it until he dies.

>>571928118>halberdJust be glad you didnt find a proper poleaxe...
>>571928370Hyper Demon and Devil Daggers are the best FPS games ever made and absolutely not shovelware
Starting to get a feel for the game. It's one of these "dump 200 coal and copper ore in smelter and go do whatever while it's turning into ingots">>571933693I'd argue that a halberd is a proper polearms.I love it.
>>571935657>dump 200 coal and copper ore in smelter and go do whatever while it's turning into ingotskinda hate that shit when its not a rustlike.
>>571904463literally how
>>571936372I mean, honestly... If it wasn't for halberds and the fact that I like sailing, I'd likely refund the game. I struggle to properly explain what's wrong with it, so sorry if it comes off as disorganized, but:>fights are insanely short and brutal, you die in 2, maybe 4 hits, and most fights are 1vs2 if not 1vs3, earlier I had to do a 1vs5 and I just died and died>inventory drop on death>respawn in your bed or in a tent (tents can be built anywhere, thank god, and you can teleport your boat to you, so no Valheim stranding)>upgrades are very expensive (cost of the weapon for +20% "attack", which doesn't seem to increase damage? confusing)>costs get high very quickly, you need 4 ores to make 1 ingot, and you need 7 ingots to make a weapon>still not sure how blocking works because tutorial was against a live pirate who kicked my ass the whole time>game feels balanced for a whole party (again, like every fucking survival game nowaday), pride won't let me lower difficulty to easy>have a blunderbuss, bullets and gunpowder, but my character keeps claiming he has no ammo for the blunderbuss, very confused as to why, not seeing any options to make pellets or grapeshot or whatever it's called
>>571905576This game reminds me of that one game with the mime girls. What was the name of that one again? It was an LSD like or something.>>571931746This is an interesting one. I'll have to check that out.
>>571937436Coop balance not caring for the solo players? You can't tweak world setting to make the resource grind comfortable for solos?
>>571904463Always funny when a low spec game does that for no reason. I had the latest chapter of Deltarune outright crash my computer today.
>>571862048Oh, I don't have the words to explain how much I hate this. To think that only a few decades ago gaming used to be a niche hobby for smart people.
>>571938329There was a game I played a while ago, don't remember what, but the main menu sucked up all my PC resources and caused unbearable stuttering across my whole computer, but once ingame it ran fine.During troubleshooting I turned the FPS counter on, and the main menu was legit running at like 1000fps. Yes, four digits. The rest of the game was capped at 60.
>>571927605Oh man that isthat is a a fucking flashbang you just threw me there anon
>>571937974No. The options are only to change fights difficulty, and it's all percentage to determine enemy HP and damage, and scale of the coop game.Which is confusing because I have the best gear I can craft and I still die in three hits.
>>571937317I don't know but it's worse than onirism on max settings. I should try debugging it but I can't be bothered to do it during the heat wave.>>571938329It's not even a low spec. Ryzen 9900x with an rtx 5070 ti. Not the top of the top but still fairly high. I don't think upgrading to 9950x3d2 (what a fucking name...) and 5090 is really worth the 5k+ for what? 15% better performance.It's likely a configuration issue. I had the same issue with ppsspp the other day and it turned out to be the vsync causing my pc to try to render the game I was playing at 3000+ fps. It was smooth alright, it was also capping out my cpu on a fucking psp game...

Finished High Voltage Society, a first person brawler metroidvania set in a grimdark prison city inspired by the movie Tetsuo: The Iron Man.While the music and atmosphere are great the combat is a mixed bag, especially compared to the early EA version. The game used to have harder fights with enemies parrying your punches and currency dropping at death that have been removed now. All you have to do is to shimmy around and throw some punches. Even groups of enemies are a joke. The currency is worthless because you can use it to 1) Buy techniques (that are useless because the game's really easy) and 2) Refill your health and energy (useless because enemy drops refill both). The story is okay and it's just an excuse to make things happen so whatever. I think the combat need a overhaul to make it more challenging and make you sweat every encounter, which fits with the idea of you being a bum fighting metal abominations.
>>571861787What is this?
>>571952115An OP.
>>571928118This looks 1:1 like Palworld but not pokemon anime guy.
>>571954289It's just survivalslop.The combat is fun (even if you're too fragile for me liking), the weapons are relatively varied, the enemies are nice and different, but the whole basebuilding/survival aspect feels like a completely different game.It feels like they have a basis for a really fun action RPG, but a linear one, and they wanted an open-world/survival/crafting/early access world instead.
>>571938364So far I think its warranted if they expected any new comers to play. It's not as obtuse as Quern yet, but you have to actually think about most puzzles.
>>571928118>>571954289Hey I've played survivalslop with these exact world assets, but at least was a porn game.

>>571958706Theta is shorter and easier.
>>571958753damn I saw some reviews for Theta and they had pretty long playtimes... Is Bean and Nothingness really that hard?
>>571958826Bean is a game for sickos.
>>571958862That makes me want to stay away from it... I got filtered by The Golem and An Architect's Adventure already
>>571958434>OK, sell me on it.It is very good.It is 80% off. I bought it at full price.Buy it. Buy it NOW.But don't but the watcher DLC. Downpour's good though.
>>571959119>But don't but the watcher DLC. Downpour's good though.Well, you haven't exactly sold me on the game, but at least thank you for this heads up. The fact that a fanboy is telling me not to buy a specific DLC means that this warning is typically trustworthy.
>>571958434It's one of those games that defies explanation a bit.The thing is, it just drops you into the world with no real objective and expects you to figure it out by yourself. This sense of motionlessness is what filtered me the first few times I've played it until on the third or forth attempt, I've stuck with it for long enough that I felt like I was actually making progress (though still not 100% sure towards what) which was enough to make me almost finish it.It's basically a bit of an ecosystem simulation. You're part of a food chain. Some creatures hunt you, some are hunted by you some are neutral or defensive. You're job is to figure out survival strategies and explore the world. There aren't really upgrades to find or bosses to fight, it's mostly knowledge based: what's the best way to reverse and area, avoid a predator or find food in each new area. Sometimes includes finding certain item/creature interactions. It can be frustrating in the "how was I supposed to know that?" kind of way, but sometimes is also insanely rewarding when something you think of actually works.I think you won't know if it's for you until you try it multiple times, for 80% off it sounds like an absolute steal though.
>>571958562Deflowering the deer was turned into breaking the ice. I'll never forgive the foxman for that.
>>571962487>>571958434Oh and sometimes it is straight up bullshit, when you encounter a new threat for the first time.Some people might find it frustrating if you get killed for presumably no fault of your own, but I think it's fine, it's part of the trial and error learning
What are ya getting in this Steam sale?Gotta keep the library full of games you will never play.
>>571963204>>571868750I at least try to play the games I'm iffy on so I can refund them in time.
>>571962487>>571962726Does using a guide (just as a way of figuring out what you're supposed to do and where to go, not on how to kill enemies, just as a barebones guide on how to get from start to credits without wasting time meandering or getting lost) take away from the game?>Some people might find it frustrating if you get killed for presumably no fault of your own, but I think it's fine, it's part of the trial and error learningI'm fine with this. Any game with serious difficulty is going to lead the player to repeatedly reach a fail state (death that brings you to a previous check point, game over, restart level, etc.) multiple times until you figure out how you're supposed to overcome the roadblock in front of you (a process that necessitates trial and error by definition). There is no such thing as an actual challenging game that you're not going to fail multiple times in before you win. It's not an actually challenging game if the average player can get through it without a steady barrage of fail states.

>>571954498>It feels like they have a basis for a really fun action RPG, but a linear one, and they wanted an open-world/survival/crafting/early access world instead.It's a shame how many games railroad themself into this. We could get so many unique games but instead they all clone each other.

What's your favorite "Metroidvania" game? Just finished Lost Crown which was awesome - great movement, incredibly fluid. Could take or leave the story but that's true of most games for me.
>>571970886Guacamelee.Love the lucha aesthetic of both games.
>>571971228I remember liking them as well, charming aesthetic and in a nice sweet spot in terms of length and difficulty.I'm eyeing Rusted Moss, has anybody here played it
>>571971826Its pretty good. Once you git gud with the grapple the platforming is really fun.
>>571970886I was shocked by how good Rusted Moss was but that's mostly recency bias speakingMy favourite is probably Environmental Station Alpha, I hope we get a sequel in my lifetime
>>571971967nice, luv me some momentum-based movement

>>571956909Which one? That Wicked Island or whatever its called? Tried the demo but the animations and models were so awful it was more haha than horny.
>>571973105Nah it was a lolige
>>571972947damn, it's a well-made game although it's not for everybody, but at that price it's worth a try. I like it but I tried getting some friends into it and I soon realized that its high-risk nature and the skill system weren't for them. Do all the tutorials before starting real runs, it's worth it
>>571970886>What's your favorite "Metroidvania" game?either Ender Lillies or Blasphemous 1 and 2.
>>571974352I'm playing through Blasphemous currently and I'm surprised it's so often described as a Metroidvania. The only ability I've gotten that has allowed me to go someplace I previously couldn't is the thing that makes the blood platforms appear. I'm maybe six hours in. Was hoping for a double jump or something. I haven't gotten any movement/traversal abilities. Great artstyle. I somehow have Ender Magnolia on my wishlist. Is it a direct sequel or an "upgrade?"

At least it would have for me.And to be fair you're not completely clueless.

>>571979525They all look interesting thank you.>>571981454Never heard of Blue Prince, looks interesting. You like it?I also want to mention, yes, Zero Parades is better than Disco Elysium. Personal opinion but maybe "objective" too. I don't want to sound like an asshole I just really loved it and I was posting on /crpgg/ about it hoping to get some discussion but they only play garbage over there. ZP is honestly really well made, interesting and pretty in art too.
>>571982392>Never heard of Blue Prince, looks interesting. You like it?Gonna just copy my reply to someone asking that same question a few threads ago:>>570616916 >Yeah, it has some meta-progression (aside from knowledge gain), but I wish there was more.>On one hand the fact that it has a lot of randomness makes it very unique and it's really fun, how each player, because of the randomness, will experience each mystery from a slightly different angle and how they are crafted in a way that they are all solvable, no matter which order you find the clues in.>But I think my main complaint is something which I think in part could have been addressed with more meta-progression and in part is probably an unavoidable sacrifice this kind of design just has to live with: There were moments, at least in my playthrough, where I was stuck on a very specific puzzle or mystery and was basically just redoing runs until I rolled the specific room or combination of rooms I needed to figure it out.>If you have multiple things going on, it's not a problem, because the more things you're looking for, the more likely it is to encounter one of them, but if you're at a point where you've solved all but one thing, before finding new mysteries, it's an absolute slog.>But regardless I'd absolutely recommend it. It's definitely a game I'd recommend keeping a physical notebook for. There's lots of information you find bit by bit or stuff that's obviously an answer to a question you haven't found yet and keeping it all in your head is borderline impossible.>>570618019 >And remember, make sure to keep playing for a bit after you reach the end credits, I've had some loose ends left untied when I reached the ending and would have missed some of my favorite puzzles if I hadn't kept pursuing them.
>>571982071I think that on my latest try I only had a few minutes from my checkpoint before that heavy rain would come and I had no idea where to find the next shelter, at some point I rushed to an underground section and the rain still killed me and it pissed me off lol. Just gotta have more patience I guess, but the game punishing deaths doesn't help. Anyway thanks I'll stick to controller too then, I found it to be slightly more comfortable but I wasn't sure whether I'd miss out on important movement tech (I don't care about the more tryhard speedrunner strats)
>>571982392As for ZP, that sounds interesting.I want to play it sooner rather than later, mostly just to form my own opinion on it, but I somehow doubt it will surpass Disco for me. Though to be fair that might be connected to the fact with how enamored I am with Disco.Oh speaking of, if you like unique games, maybe give THE LONGING a shot. It's kinda weird to explain. To me it felt like half the gameplay was just being stuck in my own headspace thinking about things, I suppose I played it in just the right moment of my life for that
>>571964598It's about picking batteries in the Finnish suburbs with hl2 puzzles
>>571978845I really liked Chants of Sennaar.
just got binding of isaac on summer salewhere can i read about the items i pick up?have no idea what they do
>>571990594there should be a workshop mod that'll show you the description of itemsor you can read on the wikiits stupid to force yourself to memorize every items sprite though, theres way too many items for that
>>571987786seconding this one, a bit on the easy side but the atmosphere was top notch
>>571990838so just pick up items and enjoy random unknown effects?
>>571990838>>571990594They added an in-game setting for that in the last big update, it actually shows the stat difference it'll do on pickup rather than the default as well which is pretty goodThey made it so you still have to pick up the item at least once for it to show you the description from then on >:)
>>571991265yes that's the vanilla way but the item descriptions mod is a very nice QoL feature, there are way too many items in the game nowadays.But if you don't want to use mods then >>571991724 sounds reasonableTo be fair picking up an item that completely fucks up your build and immediately losing the run is part of the experience
>>571991724additionally I'm pretty sure it unlocks after you beat the """""final"""" boss once
>>571991724I forgot to add to this, the hidden description is actually very useful for a different reason - it tells you if you have the item in your collection, so for completion's sake you can see if you still need to pick it up or not on that save
>>571861787New update for the vampire rpg in the summer salehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3314710/RAVENSBURG/
>>571992373Is it just basic ass rpgm combat?
>>571992373>not available in your regionThe fuck you mean, the city of Ravensburg literally is in my region
is there a trick to the stock market in cruelty squad?missions don't seem to pay much and gear costs way too much

>>571992373>porn "game">the gameplay is an afterthoughtEvery fucking time.
>>571992803You can choose your own skills and break the game consuming enemy souls because they don't respawn, all of them also have enemy weakness to things like silver bullets. But the meat of the game is in the side quests, there's a murder mystery one where you need to gather clues to get new questions and in other you get transported to a garden labyrinth>>571993202Too much sex and gore for the european/asian minister of censorship I presume. but the itch version is region unlocked and comes with a steam key you can activate anywayhttps://lilianduleroux.itch.io/ravensburg
Anybody played Mio: Memories in Orbit? The "reviews" complain about difficulty which usually means I end up liking the game.
>>571994427>>571992373I can always appreciate the way you shamelessly shill your work anon.
>>571994427I'll play your game if you play mine. >>571898332
>>571993620>>571994427>sexyeah that makes sense.At least they've abandoned censuring gore for over a decade now. The most annoying part wasn't even playing games with the gore removed, I didn't care too much for that, but how it fucked with modding. I remember how I had to jump through multiple hoops just get the uncut verison of Fallout 3 because that was the only one compatible with most mods. Not to mention I couldn't play it with English voice acting
>>571994397That's why when I still played porn games one of my favorites was unironically Skyrim with lewd mods. I guess in that case you can say that the porn part is an afterthought, but at least it's highly customizable and it's all embedded into a fully fledged open world adventure game.
>play porn game>the porn is an afterthought completely relegated to some optional side area
bump
Can get some funny shots because dialogue happens where ever you start it.
>>571975439>Is it a direct sequel or an "upgrade?"Same universe as Lillies but in the far future. Lillies takes place in a typical fantasy era while Magnolia takes place in a crumbling sci-fi fantasy world.It is a better game in most ways but it also loses the general air of tragedy and quiet sadness that Lillies had so it left much less of an impression on me.
>>571971228My one big gripe with it are the wayblocks being literal blocks instead of anything fancy like everything else.
>chubby black woman psychic with slightly broken englishOK with this and the one in Monkey Island I wonder what hollywood movie had this trope to get copied.
Oh shit dude a house is on fire with the dude you searched for in it apparently.better get pushing some blocks to get inside!Funny videogamey.Furthermore, the inside was filled with yellow barrels with a skull on it and then it exploded just as we got out. So dramatic.
The game is to my big surprise not bad looking. The textures, models and lighting all work nice together without needing any modern upgrades. Only the faces up close during some dialogue can look a bit awkward. George's jaw is slightly dislocated with a thin white line between it and the cheeks.
>>572005841Probably a Miss Cleo reference.She was the mascot of this stupid psychic network thing and became sort of a proto-meme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ-8id3YmFg
>>571995609Your game actually looks cool if a bit bizarre anon. I'll check it out and probably give a review tomorrow or in sunday>>571996449Horror still raises alarms and will probably get you in region block. And I mean actual old school horror not UwU mascot horror or streamer bait. Look at the F&H steam page as an example. Not to mention crude gore will always need some level of nudity to be believable. Only big games with $ get to bypass the filter>>571994397>afterthoughtI wouldn't call it that. Gameplay is more than combat especially for RPGs. As long as I can explore around and do side quests with liberty instead of running through a corridor I'm happy
>>572008956
>>571898332Also 200 reviews? That's very good for an indie solo dev. How did you reach there?
>>572009836>How did you reach there?huh?
Every time I come to this store in Disco Elysium I can't help but think how cozy it is.Would love to visit it, if it were in my city. Minus the storekeep of course
>>572005841>>572007184Pretty sure its just a variation of the aeons old gypsy mystic trope, but african edition for novelty/humor sake.

>all my stuff is level 1>enemies here only travel in groups, and are level 3 or 5oki'll just make it to Tortuga, sell everything I have, and buy better cannons.
>>572007184Ohh that makes sense actually.>>572012667Searching my memory I do remember a shitton of voodoo priestess that overlapped with this trope.
>check quests>"fight Blackbeard's ships to get black spots">suggested level: 9>"fight undead">suggested level: 10>"find smugglers in Tortuga">suggested level: 3>oh okay I'll just do that one>can't get into Tortuga, there's a magical shieeet barrier blockading itWHAT THE FUCK DO I DO THEN???EVERYTHING RAPES ME AND I DON'T HAVE THE MATERIALS OR BLUEPRINTS TO UPGRADE MY STUFF
i think i'm done with void war for now, playing multiverses has spoiled me. i have games like barony to play too
>inventory full of loot I got from ruins, pirate camps, and zombies>can't sell anything because can't get into tortugaFuck you Windrose.
>>572013652>>572013929>>572014151>2 minutes apartnigga play the game quit tabbing out
>>572009939to 200 reviews I mean
>>572014735I don't know. It's not my game, I just shill it. I'm obsessed.
>>572014254What are you on about, schizo?
>>572014254He does this every day.
>>572012885>>572013353>>572013652Is this that one game that looks like Valheim with pirates? Windrose or something like that
>>572020473Yes. I talked about it earlier.It's an infuriating game because the combat is fun, then they slapped some survival slop on it.
cute
Not a fan of the game piece aesthetic. Did they want to pay homage to the tabletop vampire games? Or could they not be bothered to make walk cycles?
>>572022761>Did they want to pay homage to the tabletop vampire games?andy and leyley aah game
>>572022830>aahthis is such stupid slang. When I read it for the first time I thought it was in reference to Dark Souls player messages
>>572024043it just means ass right?
>>572024346I think it does and I believe it originates from social media where profanity is filtered.I'm always a bit split on shit like this. On one hand I acknowledge that language is evolving, but on the other I think a lot of gen alpha (or late gen Z) slang just sounds stupid
>braindamage makes the expie wordvomitso true>>572024043It's niggerspeak and the zoomers like it because it's not a blacklisted word.
>>572024346Yes. It's how kids say ass to avoid angering mommy.They say ahh.

Alright Encyclopedia flooding you with unrelated info during the pop quiz is really funny.
>>572030519Thought it was obvious I meant the newer one, The Lost Crown.
>>571862040Firefox? Its been happening to me too since a few updates ago
>>572030526ok unc
>>572031949I wish encylcopedia was good but it's really just a flood of useless and mostly unrelated worldbuilding. I stopped putting points into it after 2 or 3.
>>571927605great! the last time i played it i was like 12 and got scared shitless.
>>572034302Yeah. Dunno why, it's annoying. Sometimes it loads right away, sometimes I have to refresh often, both normally and with that ctrl+F5 one.>>572032753Newer one?
>>572038412Not "new" new, but 2024. Excellent game.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2751000/Prince_of_Persia_The_Lost_Crown/
Finished Deer & Boy. Even as somebody who likes and plays a lot of cinematic platformers, it surprises me that I still find good new ones, despite how samey the game design is. The controls here don't feel the best, but the deer interactions made for more interesting puzzle-platforming, solid variety as you progress. But the presentation was how it mainly stood out, with its character animation and camerawork, and music
Tomorrow is the final day of the heat wave. Maybe I'll finally be able to play the games I bought during the sale.
I have become the kind of man that just want to play slop.
>>572030326Oh yeah, they are both great.
>>572026775They could just say butt instead.
>>572051079100% asset store slop. Dropped items just float?
>>572005520The true ending of Lillies was rather hopeful. It's for the best that things actually got better.
>>572057249
>>572057684>comparing 4chan memefilter shit to newspeakDon't be an ass.
>>572057249>30cWho's talking about 30? My town was at 42 and the night was at 34. I literally can't use my computer during the day because my apartment reach 50 in the afternoon.Even my phone turns itself off from overheating while idling. I just want to play video games for god sake. I want to know if rain world is worth the hype.
>>572058703Do you mean an ahh?
>>572060007sounds like bs
>>572051393Megabonk has actual movement depth, it just needs more areas and bosses with more complex attack patterns
