all i need now is for The Big Catch to get a release date
I got past the fuckass forced encounter. If you've played you know. This game is about spot on CotM in terms of difficulty
>I MUST SHOW THEM MY CRTTranny.
>>538103737All the media players work and it was free btw
>>538101485thats what I'm sayingand the motivation to get all the little coin shits in the demo
>>537557928
Ah, Earth Dancer! Your dance has brought me joy and happiness. In gratitude, allow me to bestow upon you this recipe.
>>538105451Yeah, that's siralim ultimate. A few people here have played it. It's extremely autistic, like the kind of autism where it's unplayable if you aren't aware of 1000 or more monster traits for your build. There's basically no story, it's just grind. The patch added stuff to the endgame and a bunch of game modes (including easy and hard mode) that require making a new save to play and added new currency to replace the current way cosmetics and rare monsters work. Personally I got stuck at realm 180 and gave up.
Silksong has already won IGN's LGBTQ+ game of the year award

I didn't expect to need another containment unit and I definitely didn't have the room for it but here we are anyway

Sandbox games where you can recruit allies to build an army to create your own government and overthrow other governments like mount and blade? Is Kenshi similar to that?
>finish kingsvein>as disappointed as after alvora tactics>go back to horizon's gate to scratch that radcodex itch>install a shit ton of content modsGod, Horizon's Gate is such a great game. And it has grown an amazing modding scene since its launch days. 70 hours in and feels like I have tons left to explore. I can hardly put it down every night before going to bed.
>>538131430What didn't you like about Kingsvein? I 100% Alvora, get to the combat quicker than HG.
>>538133862It's short, simplified and ugly as fuck.
>>538131040Not really. The scale is completely different. While in warband youre supposed to throw hundreds of peasants in the meatgrinder, in kenshi you're supposed to actually gear your dudes and not let them die. Your average squad isn't going to have more than a dozen members. Without mods, it'd be pointless too since you engage most enemies 1v1. Exceptions being giant enemies and ranged combat, which also kinda breaks the game.>create your own governmentSure, though it's pretty pointless aside from rp'ing.>overthrow other governmentsNot really. At most you can kill or capture specific NPCs which will result in a specific city being taken over by another faction.
>>538128106This looks like those fake mobile game ad games.

Been playing some underrail lately. Doing a shotgun build with no stealth and 10 CON.Gonna wait for a sale and for all you fags to beta test silksang for me.
burg
didn't think silksong would have fanservice like that
silkosng wastes so much of your time, I'm not running to the judge againalso who thought adding a sekiro-style resource only needed to replenish already limited tools was a good idea
>>538150054I am in act 2 and all the new stuff they added are just garbageThe ammo mechanic is very, very bad. It turns difficult fights into pure tedium because every time you die you lose ammo and the game is extremely stingy with giving you ammo. You need to kill like 20 enemies WITHOUT using any ammo to get back resources for 1 full rotation and that is annoying.The bosses are reasonable but in act 2 some gauntlets get really crazy. If the Judge is like a 7-8/10 difficulty then a gauntlet I faced is like 20/10. It keeps going and going and the basic trash mob combos create insane amount of RNG so you will get hit.I'm probably halfway or 2/3 through act 2 but honestly Silksong has been disappointing. The main issue with the game is the economy sucks big cocks. The cost of benches and fast travels alone is already sucking you dry. Then there are sidequests that suck your money, key items that cost crazy amount and so on.I've been going on farming binges and it still isn't enough. The ammo part sucks big time. I run around with 1000 rosaries and a few checkpoints later I'm down to 0. And I'm constantly out of ammo because enemies drop very little amount of it while quests cost too much.The worst bits: quest rewards give peanut. Finding a secret room with a chest gives peanut. LMAO 50 rosaries from a big chest? 1 encounter is like 40-50 and constant farming is not enough. So many exploration reward is just these chests with no reward.
>>538153387Slow down. Concentrate on dodging the bosses for a second and look at their patterns. As for grinding, it exists but as someone who loves Dawn of Sorrow, Silksong's is more than tolerable
>>538154023Niggas I beat all the bosses, you retarded illiterate. I wasn't complaining about them.And I'm comparing Silksong to Hollow Knight, you know, the prequel.
>>538106590I don't know how autistic I am. People say you definitely get your money's worth with the game and I saw they just put a big patch out (I'm assuming the one you mentioned). Waiting til they patch the Switch version, "TBD."
>>538150054>>538153387Did you mean "I want another flying enemy that constantly stays out of range, preferably make it deal 2 masks of damage"?
>>538145839>two top buns
>>538150054The first one wasted your time too. It's the quintessence of soulshit to give people stockholm syndrome from all the time wasted rewalking the same path for 10 minutes to get another try at the 1 shot boss.
I'm in the mood for it, so I think it's finally time to tackle my unfinished business.
>>538167854Good luck.
>>538022324>Got into a room containing nothing (yet?)Got the wall-jump, made it into the room normally, and now suddenly that room allows access to another area. It could have been a cool sequence breaking moment but so far no attempts have been rewarded, looks like Team Cherry want to be in completer control this time. Most I've gotten is an early extra mask but going from 5 to 6 makes no difference when there are so many double damage attacks, you still die in 3 hits. And one extra silk spool which makes no difference. Every other avenue I've tried is properly locked.
>>538181738you can get to shellwood/greymoor early if you have a key and sprintthats the only one I know.
>>538181372This isn't Skinwalker Hunt. Is it just another clone, or is it actually interesting?

>>538182257No clue. Didn't look past the ridiculous system requirements.

Now that Sliksnog is out, I can switch my ritual sacrifices back to getting a Metroid Prime 4 release.
I recommended Little Missfortune to my mum and she liked it. She is now installing Disco Elysium.What other adventure games that can run on a potato I can recommend her? She already played all Myst and The Longest Journey.
>>538193350What was the one where you draw stuff while a dude tells you about his life? The eyewitness? The spectator? The martyr?
>>538194248The looker?
>>538194483I think so. Very colorful game where you draw lines on small things.
>>538192649nta, but to be fair, that comment in the text about muh tariff and trade imbalance feel way out of place given the tone of the letter, a bit too much on the nose. Its like it was done solely to make the father seem unreasonable and add nothing of value to the letter.
>>538194248>>538194483>>538195002Looks like she will like it. Thanks.
>>538193350Off the top of my head, here are a few games id recommend thay would be safe for a normalfag as far as themes and general gameplay goes;There is no game:wrong dimensionStanley ParableSpiritfarer: farewell editionSilenceRökiPikunikuNaiadMoral Dilemma: the interviewJusantThe InvincibleHand of DoomFirewatchCaravan SandwitchBeholder 2Nost of them arent exactly adventure games in the traditional sense, but id be damned if she doesnt have a good time playing most of them. Still id recommend you look them up and get your own idea of how they are, as you're the best positioned to know wether she'll like them or not.
>>538199428With that said, id say the ones most fitting for an adventure game would be Röki and Silence, havent played either in a few years but I recall fond memories of both.
>>538199428>PikunikuYou also got "trobontrokon".
>>538136248What the developer lacks in art he makes up in gameplay.>>538193350Recettear?
>>538128106This looks like utter trash...Is it Arcen? Or Soldak?
>>538199715Is that supposed to be a pun or...? Google show nothing.
>>538202235It's a French thing. It's a weird spin on "trop bon, trop con", which literally means "too good, too cunt (in the sense of stupid/naive)".
>>538202235>>538199715Wait, did you mean for it to sound like "trop bon trop con"?
>>538202351>>538202387Hehe, quand meme cocasse comme situation, n'est-ce-pas?
>>538202387I assumed that literally putting the actual idiom would allow our local Holmes to figure it out by himself.I'm glad I didn't disappoint and that my subtle clue allowed you to figure out who killed Colonelle Moutarde in the janitor closet with the yaoi paddle.

Third crack at Hollow Knight and all it's doing is reminding me of how much I hate this game. I've got two nail upgrades and the fragile damage charm, why are bosses still taking fucking forever to die?
I'm hyped for Onirism. I haven't play it since I'm waiting for the full release. I hope it was worth it.
>>538212945I'm sure it will be.

shlickshlongthat colloseum of birds encounter is RAPING MY ASShow many fucking waves does this shit have?also, how do I get don quixote to get off his ass and help me kill big bird?
>Have exactly enough money to buy the map.All is forgiven. Anyone else think the game suffers from having too much going on? I can name basically every HK npc, the world felt 'lonely' so each character stood out more. Silksong is more densely packed, there is more to see but the areas and characters are forgettable in comparison. Undeniable improvement gamekeeper wise though, the platforming and basic enemies have more variety and depth. >>538193350The Red Stings Club, and play it yourself too it's a quality game.
Praise me.
My controller rumble stopped working in silksong.It works fine on hollow knight on the same computer, and it works fine on my laptop. Just doesn't work for silksong on my PC. Weird.
>>538228752For me the wireless controller just randomly stops working, like if batteries ran out.Never happened with HK, even with recent replay.
Hey /indie/. Finally managed to beat Cave Story on Hard Mode. It removes Missiles and all health upgrades (except for the one +5 you get from Jenka's dog near the end of the game), effectively making most of the game a no-hit run without your highest DPS weapon.Doing this leaves me with a surreal feeling of accomplishment. Growing up I could never beat Hell and Ballos on Hard Mode in the DSi version. Recently dug up my 3DS, loaded up some custom firmware, and did a few runs of Cave Story for old times' sake. Finally I did a Hard Mode run, got filtered hard for a while by the Core since I always go for the Spur vice the Machine Gun, and after countless attempts landed that golden run where it all lined up. Hell, for the final boss I even set the 3DS version to the 4:3 aspect ratio and the DSi control scheme to pay honor to that retarded kid who could never seal the deal all those years ago.Didn't really know who else to tell this besides you fags. Don't really know who else would appreciate and empathize with this sort of dumb shit about a 21-year-old indie platforming title. Thanks for reading my blog, and best of luck with your games.
>>538192649It's a letter from your parents in "Kaizen: A Factory Story" which released in July, titled "Trade Imbalances". The subtext and timing is incredibly clear.
>>538229491The one I recall from cave story is how bullshit it is to get the good ending. Oh, you didnt do that perfect pixel jump across a gap? Fuk u bad ending. I remember raging pretty hard at that jump.
>>538226640okay nevermind lol the flea caravan just deleted big bird from the game, thanks bros.I was kinda ambivalent on the new grubs being gypsy analogues but these guys are cool.

void crew fun!
>>538256837Jump Space (formerly known as Jump Ship) is very similar and comes out in 2ish weeks. The demo for that was a blast
>>538257987But Void Crew has a free week end.
>anons waiting 8 years for silksong>its shit
>>538262761said who?
>>538265583The bosses have 2-3 different attacks and 50 fucking hitpoints, it's not a skill-testing game but a test of the player's ability to put up with tedium.
>>538265862Been a while since I've played, but wasn't it pretty much the same in Hollow Knight?Which is perfectly fine to find disagreeable, but I assume people who waited for Silksong knew what they were in for.
>>538265862>I-it's tedious!!Just say it's too hard for you, anon, it's fine
>>538131040>>538134430What is Kenshi anyway? I've heard so much about this game but also fucking nothing at the same time. It's on sale right now.
>>538167854Since the last time I played they've added a special mode where you can get a large variety of effects that are typically upside + downside, though the severity of the upside and downside tend to vary. That middle one means my guys are going to age one year every single in game day which might make play completely impossible, but I took it as I'm intensely curious how much exactly it reduces medicine tolerance by. Depending on how much by and how difficult it's going to be for me to urgently grab some life and morrow pills or something, this is either going to be insanely OP or completely unworkable.Either way I might restart as I didn't get offered the main modifier I heard about which was the main reason I got the urge to return to the game, but for now it's good to experiment and figure out how to play again.
>>538273347>What is Kenshi anyway?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXo24imR_54
>>538262761I think it's pretty good.
I like how the areas in Silksong "bleed over" into each other, like how if a different area is behind a wall, the wall texture will reflect that and as you get closer to the entrance you'll often start encountering more of the enemies native to that zone I remember Hollow Knight had some stuff like that but I feel like it was less common
>>538273823Man, it's embarrassing how long it's taking me to remember to do some of the most basic things imaginable, but it feels good too. I laid out the strategy for how to do this achievement years ago, now I'm trying to follow my own instructions almost blind.
Gassing the free drones is probably the most atrocious bullshit mission in this whole fucking game. I glad its over.
I did not have fun
>>538272135>muh difficultyjust admit its boring anon, its fine
My irk that's regularly seen in many titles over the years:Auto-saving consumption of consumables. This results in vicious loop where if you have trouble in defeating the boss, you become LESS and LESS powerful, leading to even more trouble than before. "Poor get poorer" situation.I'll take "no auto-saving whatsoever" over "auto-saving on death".
>>538229491Congrats anon, coming back to challenging stuff you couldn't do as a kid and beating it always gives a nice feeling of how much you've improved.
>>538281630man, i should also try it again.Don't think i even got the dragon to show up so i probably saw nothing yet.
>>538281630>>538292001It's fun, would recommend, the only reason I stopped playing originally is because I'd run out of new things to learn. This new Heavenly Chaos mode adds a lot of interesting new stuff, the modifier I'm most interested in is one that starts me off with a bunch of rare materials (special boss drops for stronger qi gathering in a cultivation room) with the tradeoff that all the sects other than the DLC sect start at -700 rep with you, so you're getting attacked fairly hard from like day three.As it is I really need to get my shit into gear, literally my entire sect is going to be dead to old age by the end of the year if I don't pick up the pace and get my hands on life extending medicine or something. It's basically day 5 and I've not done shit hardly, oh god oh fuck.
>>538281630that is an absolute ton of people for day 2did you take the +5 on embark?also that sect map, what the hell. never seen that much rock in my life
>>538295761time to make your entire sect turtlesdo people age while they're on expeditions?
>>538295761>Invite guy with great stats from a village back to my sect>He enters the map stuck on the other side of a mountain>Dies of thirst before I dig through to himWhat a fucking waste.>>538301000>that is an absolute ton of people for day 2>did you take the +5 on embark?+4, there's an extra immortal option that gives you up to four extra random disciples but they each have problems with them, it's still work taking them for the extra hands, and the last one I invited back to my sect as a labourer and unlike pic related they didn't get stuck behind a mountain and die.>>538301176>do people age while they're on expeditions?I'm actually not completely sure any more. I know their tribulation timers stop ticking down, I don't know about age.
>>538301000>also that sect map, what the hell. never seen that much rock in my lifeOh right, also I forgot to mention that it's a canyon map rather than a plains one. I've done plains every time and I want a change, plus part of my strategy is I'm hoping to dig up lots of caskets from the mountains and get the Heaven Stealing law early.
Okay this is a straight up shek. Like, the serial numbers aren't even filed off.
>>538305734Managed to cobble together an array to finish off playing today, the downside to a canyon map is there's not 500 spirit trees everywhere so I've had to scrape together everything on the entire map to pay for this ghetto array. At least it's something.
>>538309290But are they built like shek?
>>538099930
>>538310837the increased aging thing doesn't also speed up trib timer, right?
>>538321860>the increased aging thing doesn't also speed up trib timer, right?No, it just means that by the end of the first year, my 20 year olds will be 100 years old, or more likely dead of old age around early winter if I don't hurry the fuck up and find some sort of a supply of life pills or something.
>>538323746fucked up that it applies to outers tooi suspect you're gonna be doing a lot of recruitmenti wonder if it hits other sects too, i know there's that story npc that dies of old age
>>538324262>fucked up that it applies to outers tooYep, but honestly it would be absurdly broken as fuck if it didn't. Even if it doesn't reduce the resistances by that much it sounds incredible to me already, lowering them all by just about 10% per item would already make it way, way easier to start eating sun pills pre-core, you could make incredible cultivators with a tiny fraction of the effort and the only catch is that you'd have to force feed every outer you want to keep (preferably) a refined Morrow pill or something.I also get the feeling that it will be a bigger drop than 10% per item, I'm looking forward to it.It's not even the only modifier, one gives absolutely everyone who joins my sect +10 qi sense but everyone's pretty hungry all of the time, and the other lets me equip additional talismans with the tradeoff of not being able to manually draw them. The great painter mod might completely bypass that downside I'm not sure, and even if it doesn't I can loot T12 talismans of my choosing off of enemy cultivators or just roll the dice repeatedly for what I want and then be able to equip 4 (more?) talismans to everyone.>i suspect you're gonna be doing a lot of recruitmentProbably. The main way to bypass the whole age problem that I can see is to keep hiring new blood until I solve the need for life pills, the only problem is that the achievement I'm going for is time gated and I only have the first three years to clear it, so I can't fuck around.>i wonder if it hits other sects too, i know there's that story npc that dies of old ageIt honestly might, I could potentially check but forgot to do so earlier.
any game akin to tboi with meta progression?
>>538193350https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z_gRGzwXZE
>>538273347Meme review aside, it's one of the few true sandbox games around. There's literally no plot, main quest line or whatever. You start with a perfectly ordinary guy and do whatever you want to do. Go be a miner, a pickpocket, a trader, a murderhobo or whatever you feel like. RP to your heart's content, cause that's what the game is about.It also has a lot of grinding. Your starting dude is weaker than starving bandits, the weakest enemy in the game.

Obscure secrets with obtuse prerequisites sure aren't common any more, with everyone looking for a more organic/in-game way to hint at other paths. While it's technically possible to do that in Cave Story, it's realistically only learned on a second playthrough or some forum online.Pic related.
It's slowly coming together
>>538366895How do you people make these?

So I've played intravenous, it was so good that right after finishing the game, I decided to finish it 5 more times and do all the achievements.
>>538372051Does that take like a long, long time since you have to carve them small cube by small cube?
>>538376662You can set your brush size to medium or large cube, but generally it does take quite a bit of time.
>>538376987...you people are insane.

>>538378859
>>538377023I usually don't go lower than 2x2 so it's not that bad, but yes it can get tedious. These arches are the most complicated ones the rest are stuff like making each side of a wall have a different texture and those are fast. I might go back and add more details at some point, but that's a long term project.I don't use them, but there are mods that make chiseling faster. Even save designs so you don't have to chisel 100 blocks manually.
Something odd about the passengers on this Japanese train in 1988...
>>538383669>>538366895That's some impressive shit anon, good job.My only problem with stuff like this is my autism. I'm not too good at building (yet) and once I've built a structure to a certain level of detail I want every other structure to match it, which sometimes blocks me from building anything new if I'm not sure that I can make it. Really need to get out of that mind-trapThough none of that matters at the moment, since I'm on a fresh start and haven't even set up my first mudhut yet
>>538383864>ZachtronicsThat's a /egg/ game.
>>538383864Zach is not very good when it comes to anything other than the puzzles. The writing of all of his games are awful, the world building is terrible and the weird Asianism is cringe and almost disrespectful at time. Shenzhen I/O is full of Chinoiserie, Kaizen is the same with Japonism.
>been playing mgs3 remake>one of the greatest remakes if not the greatest>put a "this game might be outdated and offend you, sorry about that" generic disclaimer at the start >don't censor any of itThis should be way to handle this, it's genius. I'm sick and tired of cucked self-censorship of weak-willed fucking companies just in case they might offend "them".
>>538388804why the fuck would i care about games offending anybody? am i on tumblr or some shit?

>>538379080I remember playing the demo on itch and liking it, but 10 bucks for 1h of puzzle platforming is kind of steep. Doesn't seem like people mind though looking at how many reviews there is.

>>538394950Passive-agressive Infantilization so they can delude themselves into thinking they are an authority figure and hold authority over those they speak to in such a manner, basically a peculiarly perverse type of power dynamic where they believe they are the parental figure who know better than their lesser.They arent providing a service (in the transactional meaning, not that its done out of altruism), they are doing the thinking for you because you are too immature to know better. Think of it like the delusional cat lady who think she'd be the best mom ever and start giving sermon to peoples who never asked her advice when she cant even be bothered to pick up her pets shit and can't keep a relationship going for more than a week. Except its not even a woman but a troon.But at the same type I wouldnt be suprised there is more to it than that, a la pictures of cheese pizza kind of things.

Has anyone tried any of the Balatro-likes, Bingle Bingle, Calculate It, Ballionaire, Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers, Luck Be a Landlord, etc.? Do any of them hold a candle to Balatro, or is it a one-of-a-kind experience? Follow-up question, is there any other similar idea you think could work and would like to see a game of?
>>538401607>Balatro-likesIt's called poker.You played poker.Go play more garbage gambling you shallow fuck.

>>538403252Jeremy Blaunstein, most pseudo-military terms in metal gear comes from him because the original is just completely dry for example the codec is just called wireless communication. He also translated symphony of the night, which was very rushed and full of typo like "I smell you're blood". The entire intro is completely rewritten and has nothing to do with the original and it full of empty intellectual references. The line "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets" come from the French book "Antimemoires" by André Malraux, famous writer, politician and liar "Qu'est-ce qu'un homme? Un misérable petit tas de secrets ...", he also changed a lot of things in the translation of shadow heart and silent hill. Some of the changes he made in his translations were a bit questionable like when he changed big boss' impotence into a coma. He was the cast director for a lot of those games.He clearly wanted to be a writer instead of a translator.

>>538399881>diversity consulting for a puzzle gameHow is this not money laundering?
>>538409984Translating a book or a game is different from translating a tutorial. You're translating the meaning (which may even hold cultural significance) in another language while trying to convey the same emotion.Like how do you translate a double meaning? an idiom? a joke needs the full cultural context to be understood? You have to be able to write for the audience that is going to read your translation.

>>538399881>>538406817
>>538414301It's from a different time, japanese publishers were famously not giving much of a shit about the quality of their overseas exports, they had someone translate the games and then shipped it without double checking.Let's be honest, MGS and Castlevania wouldn't be as cult if they didn't have these, as the dude definitely wanted to write someone special. They could've gone with the blandest japanese translation where everything is very matter of fact and unfunny, instead we got what cemented Kojima's style in the west even though he didn't write these words.
>>538413823>Sam pushes cocaine and pimps children and now has $500k in cash>he piles it all into an aluminum attache case and gives it to his buddy Zach>Zach hires Sam's "diversity consulting" company to help with his new puzzle game for $500k>Sam still has the money, but now he can explain to the bank how he got it

>>538310837Making a large climate controlled greenhouse for wheat, considering everyone in my sect is a hungry boi and the achievement will probably need a bunch of it, it's worth using the only decently sized patch of earth I have that contains my one and only spirit soil patch for this.
>>538416094In Japanese liquid explains that solid and himself are clones because big boss became impotant. The translation says he was in a coma.
>>538413823are you perhaps a bit dumb?
>>538416556And I guess Kojima decided to keep that version going forward?
>>538415650>auditors start asking Zach where he got $500k in cash fromA video game developer and a consulting company are not fronts that can easily explain why they've got significant amounts of cash like a bar or a club.>>538416592Explain it to me then, anon.
>>538415331>>538417531Kojima hated the translation and he became a control freak because of that.There's also plenty of changes that were made because the Blaunstein thought the original was "stupid". For example Zanzibarland is translated as Zanzibar the African country because Jeremy thought the original was dumb.He was definitively not the worst translator of that time period but I wouldn't say he was good at doing his job. At least he didn't throw away the script and rewrite the entire game like the "translator" of skies of arcadia who literally made shit up as he went and created a ton of plot holes.
>>538410881Although a lot of people don't tend to agree, Balatro does have a skill curve to it where if you are good enough, it is pretty hard to lose. I'm not sure the same can be said about a literal slot machine game, though maybe I'm wrong. I'll keep my eye on this one
>>538422917>Balatro does have a skill curve
>>538416391I'd say "finally", but fuck man if this event just popped I'm insanely behind schedule.
>>538425591Even it the man inside the room doesn't understand Chinese, the room taken as a whole does.
>>538426025Fuck yeah, got the perfect manual from a loot crate, now I can craft most (all?) longevity medicine with my alchemist.Now I just need an alchemist, and materials, and time.
>>538418239>A video game company isnt a good frontQuite the opposite actually, it would be insanely easy to launder money via video games, especially nowadays with the international reach and digital distribution. You could pump the sales number up like crazy and none would be the wiser, especially with indies that arent designed with a specific demographic in mind so sales peppered across the world isnt too shocking, and would give a good alibi that make tracking distribution way harder for a foreign or local government.
>>538426025it's not on a fixed schedule?>>538428013that is some luckgonna make your first an alchemist? i never remember how much the alchemy law actually adds to a xiandao, i feel like it's not that important. pain to rush anyway
>>538428642Yeah, all you'd need is thousands of false identities to purchase $20 games enough times to actually launder any significant amount of money without people wondering why some dude is buying hundreds of copies of a no name indie. Super easy.
>>538427567This is like saying an LLM understands English. A sorting algorithm, no matter how complex, is incapable of understanding anything.

>>538428838>it's not on a fixed schedule?The event is fixed, the problem is this last achievement I'm after is timed and I'm supposed to me making major progress towards it. Progress I'm not making nearly enough of.I'm supposed to be strong enough to take out one or two of the sects by the end of the year, if I can't kill one or two of them in winter then it will be close to impossible to get this achievement.
>>538428642Okay, but how do you turn the pile of drug money you have into apparent sales? Do you just roll into Gamestop with a suitcase full of cash and buy $500,000 worth of Steam gift cards?
>>538430261Demonstrably false. Clearly, a sufficiently complex algorithm must be capable of understanding language, or humans couldn't do it.
>wanted to play buckshot roulette online>entered a table>they focused me>couldn't even do a single turn>diedFun
>>538430261Sorting algorithms have a static desired out come, therefore limiting the potential complexity of the systemLLMs have dynamic input and feedback-driven generation process, which makes them fundamentally differentIt's like saying that plainly reading a book and reciting information from memory is the exact same process
>>538430012>Needing ID to buy games>Implying anyone who doing to launder money would buy shit a hundred time using the same personal infoNibba please, can you be more disingenuous? Like you do realize there are already methods to transfer money to game pirates and the likes that dont have any way to track the originator? Ie I recall prepaid giftcards and similar like subway cards are the most common way to give/donate them money without ever getting shit for it. Notwithstanding it could be very easy to get false ID from countries like brazil if you were to give a cut of the process to whoever ease the ordeal, you know, like how money laundering work? There is also the method of using in-game currencies and cosmetic items. I wont bother going on about this more than this as you obviously do not understand how that kind of stuff work.>>538434347Now you're being so disingenuous I cant believe for a moment you said that in good faith, nor will I bother to argue how your false analogy would never actually happens if you were laundering money as it would make it beyond obvious you're doing just that.

Okay genuinely how the fuck does it get on the goddamn ceiling.
>>538445179Viscera Cleanup Simulator 2?
>>538445221Crime Scene Cleaner. So basically yes.
>>538397708how does passive-aggressive infantilization leads to some illusion of authority? I fail to understand the logic. The infantilization and hiding behind some cute figure sounds more like a shield to criticism for me, but not in a "having authority" way, but in a "hiding behind a baby" way.
>>538450283Basically, they infantilize you and ergo, they are implying by the act of such that they are more mature than you. This manifest in a higher-than-thou attitude which is used to silence or discredit criticism or attempt at arguing the proponent of such methods.Not denying it is used as a shield against criticism, in fact its exactly what it is. The illusion of having authority is effectively just an "appeal to authority" fallacy, where they make themselves the authority figure in the relationship and use that position to ridicule or silence any opposition or criticism. I'd say its a fallacy because having authority within a given context do not inherently invalidate concern on the matter by other parties.
>>538446087Is it actually fun? I remember Viscera Cleanup Simulator being made to be as unfun as possible.
>>538439147In Spelunky the timer mechanic spawns an unkillable ghost, constantly following and instakilling the player.Void Crew has the same thing, spawning ~10 minutes after any contact with a hostile.
>>538456093Ooh, that. It's just called a "time limit".But yeah, except for a run just now where the crew was particularily inept, it has never been a problem.
>>538453103It's 'realistic' compared to VCD, apart from the inhuman amounts of blood everywhere. No bizarre cleanup mechanics, no physics jank, no MOTHERFUCKING casualty reports, you have an easy-to-use 'show me the mess' button. But also less goofy, environments are just boring buildings, every level is pretty much the exact same mechanics-wise, an obligatory skill tree, and the voice acting is both dreadful and constant.It's competent enough I suppose. If you just want a straightforward little-bullshit cleaning sim to zone out on, it'll slot in perfectly. If you want something with an actual personality beyond a bad story and decade-old memes, this ain't it.
>>538457169Bleh. And I can't play Cooking Simulator anymore because devs fucked up controls.
>>538457335Unfortunately, VCD is still the only cleaning sim I've seen that actually has fun with itself, despite its deep flaws. A decade since it came out and all its imitators are still sterile and allergic to the concept of whimsy.
>>538457892Also VCD caters to my pyromania just right.It's just removing bullet holes that I hate.
>>538438636You don't need ID, you need a method of payment. If it's digital, it can be traced. Prepaid gift cards are only untraceable if bought with cash, and I promise if you're buying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gift cards in cash, people will notice. Getting a bunch of false IDs to launder money through buying indies is like buying a nuke to win a pillow fight, you'd be far better off with an actual brick and mortar front that handles cash.Get off high horse and actually look at the post chain, you're veering off into a different topic entirely. Anons trying to say Zachtronics or their translation company are money laundering fronts are retarded. People do sometimes use video games to money launder, that's not the case here.

I know you can start on the sol system, but for some reason if start your civ on Earth, the storyline make it put some pre-ftl on Mars which make no sense.

>>538516201Allow me to be entirely honest: I have no fucking idea how unplugged works. I am fairly knowledgeable in how Paradox's stupid systems work, however.From what little I gather you're playing as a species created by the Makers which are the pre-ftl martians which are actually post-nuclear war remnants or something, correct? If so, go to solar system initializers -> unplugged initializers and switch up their flags and init effects. Maybe make Mars a bit bigger since that will be your capital. Obviously, remove the starting planet flag from Earth and move it to Mars as well.Do note that I only skimmed through the events, so I know basically nothing about how the entire thing is supposed to go down and I don't really feel like starting a new playthrough. Do feel free to illustrate a bit.
>playing Chronicles of the Wolf>usual castlevania like adventure>predictable but fun>beat the 6 Apostles of the Beast and the Beast>think I'm going to a last boss battle after beating the six apostles>get to the castleOh this shit is huge, not a complaint.
>>538540986Actually you're not originating from the system you start in but were a people assimilated by some driven assimilator AI (hadnt reached the full sotry reveal before I dropped that peculiar campaign due to bugged questline where the event to remove the -1 amenities debuff wouldnt trigger despite reaching the system, which would make mid to late game literally impossible, ie by the time I stopped my capital had -10 000 amenities lmao) who invaded the system you now inhabit, you btfo them because they resisted, then the AI went fubar for reason I havent discovered yet which is why you got freed from its grasp.In trospect my game may have bugged out because presapient spawned on the tomb world or something. Fucking paradox games are so janky
>>538099930What do people here think of /agdg/'s games?
>>538551670whats bottom left?
>>538551670i think you should stop asking questions like that and work on your game
>>538551670I like Risk of Rain
>>538546431So I believe I figured out why shit bugged out in my previous campaign, and its because I went for the cyberize ascension path before completing the embodied identity situation, which I guess are conflicting which kind of make sense, but its dumb that the ascension path is accessible from the very start regardless of wether or not you finished the situation. Oh well, paradox games in a nutshell I guess.

>>538546431>my game may have bugged out because presapient spawned on the tomb world or something.No, that IS supposed to happen. The Sol initializer for Hard Reset has a specific flag for it. Unplugged_pre_sapient_planet or something, can't check right now. Generic systems have that too, it's just that for non-Sol one it generates a random tomb world for it. For Sol, Mars is scripted to become a tomb world with pre-sapients and a bunch of infrastructure.It's why I assumed you were actually ancient astronauts who modified themselves and moved over to Earth after nuking Mars. Funnily enough, that's close enough to DxM's plot, which I'm currently playingOne of the events look for that flag to generate an archeological site which starts a questline.>>538553805>its because I went for the cyberize ascension path before completing the embodied identity situationYep, I believe I read a few posts about that and you're indeed not supposed to be able to do that. It's just paradox being paradox. You know how after a crisis eats a good part of the galaxy you're supposed to get sentinels/cybrex to help out or extra extradimensional for that big free for all? At release some intern fucked up and checked for 20 instead of 0.2. Meaning the crisis would have to eat 20 galaxies instead of 20% of the map. Galcom laws? They didn't carry over the previous tier. There's one law punishing you for having less than 50% naval cap used, but if you passed the next level suddenly it was fine.Mind you, I like those games but this isn't an "ooops, we rewrote the entire economy from scratch and now everything is broken even after months of "testing"", this is actual incompetence.Even if you fire events manually to speed up testing the fucking console prints out whether event checks are satisfied or not. It's really not rocket science, especially when the entire thing is in plain text and mostly human readable.

Silksong feels perfectly balanced with double damage, I don't know how anyone slogs through regular enemies taking 8-10 hits to kill instead of 4-5.
I'm palying dragon's dogma. Since I'm stupid I decided to play hard mode directly and to play a mage. Wish me luck!Yes I made a loli character.

>10 minute from nearest bench to gauntlet>no bench in sight (one is fake and a trap)>gauntlet has toxic water>gauntlet introduces new enemy type>has boss at the end (2 damage per attack of course)I think this is probably the breaking point for me. I know the game has been overwhelmingly mediocre, but I'm not taking another 10 minute walk back just to get hit by something new. This isn't difficulty. I won't be surprised if there's a 2nd boss after this boss because that would, according to the developers, be very funny to put after all this nonsense and the farthest walk in the game yet from a bench.This really isn't worth it. I know my time isn't worth much, but somehow the devs have proven again and again that their game is somehow worth less than that.

>>538182483play the needolin near the glowing butterflies
>>538597167The DLC dungeon has pretty good loot for when you can first access it, and by the endgame I didn't have any trouble with the big boss.
Alright I got over the gauntlet ... and the (not so) crazy thing is soon after I found a real boss (you know, someone where they put efforts into the moves) and I one shotted it. The boss wasn't easy, but it didn't spam adds and didn't have some lava floor. The bench wasn't far away either, which didn't matter in this case.This is a continued problem with Silksong. Half of the contents seem to be very well crafted and made with love (all the story bosses) and they aren't difficult, because their moves are clear and readable and there's no mob spam.But then there's the mini bosses that spam adds and the gauntlets which all seemed to be a lazy way to inflate the play time. These are significantly harder.It makes me think that when people praise the game's difficulty, they are looking at the wrong half of the game. The good parts aren't difficult at all.

>>538564013Feels like it could be bait. But if that's your subjective list, more power to you, I'm not gonna shit on it

>>538632930honestly?horror game happening 12 thousands of years after the events of nine sols where modern humans try to piece together the history of ancient alien space cats could be pretty cool
UNREEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAL
>>538428013Finally, I've been save scumming for a hot minute trying to get this, part of my strategy is based around it.I should probably lay out roughly what I'm up to, so whoever's reading this can understand kinda why I'm agitated about the time other than the whole "everyone in my sect is ageing 1 year for every day that passes by" problem.The achievement I need either needs a ton of convoluted savescumming and abusing niche mechanics, or I need to kill off one or two enemy sects really really fast - ideally year 1, to achieve it. I'm trying to do the latter. Killling off an entire sect is supposed to be the latest game thing you can possibly do though.The plan:>Immediately promote somebody to become a disciple>Break through to golden core by about day 8 with them, use them to pick up resources and stuff>Find ancient caskets from mass mining mountain walls>Savescum for the Heaven Stealing law and promote three pre-prepared bear yaos in it>Unlock Wormwood Valley by summer and get the "Summer Herb" from there>Pick up the Perfected Warrior law whenever I can>At the start of winter, grab the Winter Worm also from the valley, immediately trade them in for a pretty good sword formation manual in the Celestial Pool region>Form a formation between a Perfected Warrior Disciple armed with a bunch of Tribulation Needles I've prepared beforehand, back him up with the three Heaven Stealing disciples, with the right talismans theoretically they should be able to take down a sect>Oh yeah, go visit He Zuandao and get the better talismans I'm supposed to have by nowIt's late spring and I don't even have my first golden core disciple and it's throwing off everything else.
>>538642629>picFucking.
>>538454021
>>538394950>Babies are seen as innocent and cuteThis is in line with their toxic positivity and the attempt to push this annoying "safe" image.
>>538642629>>538642804Have you managed to get a golden core disciple yet Anon?Are you gonna restart?
>>538642629>>538642804Preliminary results from the medicine resistance thing: Either it lowers it by a flat 5% for all medicine which would be pretty neat but nothing spectacular, or it halves it which would be incredibly absurd if it does that.>>538664175Not yet but I'm working on him right now I've stopped fucking around, and no I'm going to stick with it. Worst case scenario I fuck everything up because I've forgotten how to play the game, in which case at year 4 I'll reload my backup save for the start for the sect and try again but better.
>>538667896Also reporting on the talisman thing: I don't remember exactly how it worked normally, but I picked a pile of talisman paper and my guy just started drawing one automatically, didn't get a menu of any sort over what to pick I just got given this.
>>538668229You have like a week to get murdering a sect Anon. Hurry up!
>>538668229Okay so, the random talisman modifier:Cons:>I can't pick what talisman type I want to draw>It's random what quality it is, seems to be always 6X to 9X but it's probably based on mental state or mood or something.Pros:>I don't need to ever learn any talisman manuals I think, I'm seeing talisman types I definitely don't have the skills for>SIX active talismans instead of the usual threeNeat.>>538672329Nah I got longer than a week, but prep time is on the tight end. The bigger thing is probably going to be unlocking Wormwrought Valley before the end of the summer and finding the cave for Earth Flux since I still don't have that shit. I'm way behind on my exploration since I didn't have a GC.

>>538673390It looked like ass anyways, the fake "gameplay" trailer was pure garbage
Getting the double-jump in Silksong was real, actual bullshit. I "won" and I'm still mad
>>538676904CC owes me sex.
Finally finished this game and got the true end I think? Hard to know because this game has a lot of hidden stuff but I think the only thing left for me is grind all the golden tokens for the final file.Went in with a negative impression of the game but was actually really fun and the final boss fights were really cool. Shame that I missed the boat on threads and stuff though, would have definitely liked to discuss this while it was fresh.
>>538667896did you not start with a forming pill? i thought everyone got that shit for free

>>538690630Nice.You should play the sequel. No kinda-out-of-place shop system, the whole game is balanced around your standard weapon loadouts.

>>538686338>did you not start with a forming pill? i thought everyone got that shit for freeSure, my first guy ate and used that, but you only get one of those not five of them. What delayed me for so long was a lack of cultivation materials before I could pull together even a crap array (some earth materials so it's not completely suitable for a fire cultivator) and a general forgetting of how I did things, I kind of forgot how slow an early cultivator was and that I'd have been better off just sitting there and cultivating all the way to GC immediately instead of doing 3 or 4 adventures for needed materials first. I also forgot that the main Wudang sect doesn't have a magic altar, I was thinking I could go there and observe one asap to get a much better solution for arrays without needing to use the dogshit I'd set up at home. Turns out that was a mistake.>>538686474>also what's up with the rocky wall topsIf you dig into cliffs and make a room out of them, sealing it off with a door, the walls get a rocky top to show they're natural rock walls rather than constructed walls.
>>538708792>Sure, my first guy ate and used that, but you only get one of those not five of themright i mean use that to check what the medicine resistance change was
>>538704506>why is no one interested in my game!?>no I will not shill it on social media, that would be morally wrong
>>538708792When I played ACS I got to making Tier 1 golden cores but I gave up because of those spirit things in the Primordial Spirit Realm or something. I can only handle so much autism.I wish there was a game like ACS but with fleshed out combat.
>>538251128I didn't build a second tower, but I did burn it down.I thought doing it in the middle of night would look nice, but apparently peat fires don't give light, so you can't see shit.
>>538716729I started at exactly midnight, now it's 14:00 and the fire just reached the top. The bottom stacks are also about to completely burn out.

>>538099930Found this thing through a dev's retweet and bought it since it only costs as much as a mid-tier fast food meal: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3247640/7_Days/It's an RPG Maker walking simulator/visual novel about depression and trauma which definitely has Omori as an inspiration.I have only played it for 30 minutes but here are my initial impressions:1. The child's drawings/sketches aesthetic is kinda cute, I guess, but can sometimes feel drab, maybe on purpose.2. Psychedelic flashing images in the intro is pretty cool.3. Music is mostly acoustic and I think it's pretty good. Main menu theme makes a good impression.4. Save point is a girl who keeps popping up, the most blatant Omori similarity so far.5. First choices that seem to matter seem obvious as to which ones lead to the good ending and to the bad ending.
>>538718220Cute little huts anon
WHAT ARE THE ODDS??!? (Hell Is Us spoiler)
Alright, I've defeated the gazer in dragon's dogma. What a piece of shit boss that takes hours to kill and can't do anything dangerous. At least I got like half a million xp from it because I used the charm to double xp right before it died. Level 50!
>>538738330The gazer? That thing that's a giant mouth with an eye inside?I always thought it was invincible.
>>538738582The skin is completely immune to damage but the eye is weak is holy. It might be immune to everything else since I couldn't do damage with the other elements.It's still a very, very tanky boss but it's not a very dangerous boss. I died more times to wolves, goblins and bandits one shotting me in the early hard mode than to the gazer itself.
>>538704506marketing does indeed matter some devs start uploading videos and screenshots as soon as possible, even if the game is years away from being done
>>538738935Only because WOLVES HUNT IN PACKSAlso funny, I think my giant lanky priest waifu can put holy on my weapon, I'll try.
>>538739253At the point where I am, enemies no longer one shot me so the game got a lot easier. At the beginning, I died to literally bats, rats and a snake, not a giant snake, a single fucking rattlesnake in the bottom of the well.
void crew surprisingly fun
>>538709629>right i mean use that to check what the medicine resistance change was40%, but now I can't actually remember what the resist is normally. Good question.>>538711156Personally I fucking love the game as I love complex systems and figuring them all out. All my time learning this game has taught me that 80% of the numbers and stuff are pretty much just for show and are decorative, only 20% of the stuff actually matters.Spirits you don't even need to bother worrying about for a fairly long time and once you get down to it they're not that complex.
I randomly saw this Clown point&click adventure released this year and it was really enjoyable to play through under 2 hours. It's free too which is impressive for how nice it looks.With this and Dropsy there are now 2 Clown Point&Click Adventures. Need a third sometime for sure.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3454610/Poco/>I just realize the game looks worse in screenshots because of the weird filter
>>538747894Time for the GC breakthrough.I'm actually pretty pissed about this, since the breakthrough has taken so long I figured I'd transcribe all the laws and have my guy learn all the qi manuals beforehand.Two of the guys I had transcribing laws then went and failed at something like 98% because they decided they wanted to go sleep or something instead. Fucking hell.
>>538751574Not amazing given the time investment, I feel like T2 would have been doable if they hadn't fucked up transcribing those two laws, T3 is particularly a problem since it's bugged and breakthrough chances are the same as T9. Guess I have to just suck it up.
>get the architect crestOh cool, a moveset which swaps the spell slot for the ability to replenish tools with silk. Haven't been using the tools so that could be an interesting alternate playstyle.>actually it still uses shards lmaoAre you serious Team Cherry? What function does that have? The customization in Silksong is very limited compared to the charm system in HK. To be fair the fundamentals are more complex, but its still a shame, none of the equitable items have a meaningful effect on how you play. >>538719192Desu
>>538747894>40%, but now I can't actually remember what the resist is normallyit's 80% normally, that shit is halved>broken t3 breakthrough chancehuh, didn't know that. not handled by that one fix pack?
>>538753416>not handled by that one fix pack?I'm not sure what one you're referring to, I've never heard anything about it being fixed before I just know it as maybe the most famous / commonplace glitch in the game.
>>538753739https://github.com/iguanacore/iguana_acs_fix is the one i'm thinking of but the gc3 thing isn't actually in it, it's in https://github.com/iguanacore/iguana_acs_functions instead
>>538746770The only issue is how unbalanced it is at times, many modules are literally useless while others are broken beyond belief, ie the one that reload a random non laser weapon for every lance weapon fired is ludicrously powerful, if you get it you basically won the game as all you need is a single weapon that fire multiple rounds and replace all the others by lances. Even with the basic 3 projectile launcher you can easily do ~12 hull damage per salvo (3x4=12 dmg potential x # of lances weapon= almost every ship die in seconds) and lance weapons are fairly common. Also necromancers are way too common, kind of annoying to try any build only to do skele spam 4 times out of 5 because you get nothing but necromancers at every merc merchant.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzE3f6Mb0A8I made an amateur 2D shooter/strategy game with a few different modes and 17 campaign missions. Lots of customization. It's called Hellbirther and it's almost 4 years in development now. Game is pretty much finished although there are some nice finishing touches I'd like to add eventually.
>>538752473>What function does that have?to make more tools wherever, not just at a bench?
>>538704506Internet is a much wider place than it was 20 years ago, and indie games are much more prolific as well. For every Balatro and Undertale there's likely a thousand unknown and forgotten games waiting to be downloaded, hosted on random megas/mediafires/etc.Social media and other self-promotions only help so much, but not relying on them at all is like betting on a lottery ticket. You gotta have one in a million luck to pull that off.
>>538756895I would say not doing promotion for your indie is akin to not buying a ticket at all. You have no chance whatsoever. You have to play the marketing game before people will see and play yours. The odds aren't in your favor even when you try, but you have to try.
Great game but it's a genuine surprise that after to long in development with no deadline,it still shipped with issues. Found the Snitch Pick item and it literally does not work. Also seems like they are weakening some early game bosses (unnecessary) and reducing some of the money requirements (much needed).>>538756480Yeah, and that is functionally pointless. You aren't gonna run out of tools unless you are spamming them all the time, and if that's the case you are quickly gonna run out of shards anyway, so you'll need to stop and farm. Not much use in bosses because it consumes a full heal worth of silk, and fully using 3 tools is gonna be enough to almost kill bosses anyway. Not much use in exploration because there are benches everywhere. The crest has basically no utility, besides allowing tool replenishment in a no-bench playthrough or something.
>>538754604Thanks.
>>538761159>but it's a genuine surprise that after to long in development with no deadline,it still shipped with issueslol
>>538752068>30 days in>First death by old ageIt begins.
>>538761159No game ships without issues because no amount of QA testing can compare to tens of thousands of players, even more so for a game made by a small group
>>538482801That there's an item that lowers tradelane disruptions but not jumphole collapses is annoying.
>>538761159They sold over 5 million copies. Being extremely generous, let's say only 1 million of those actually got played this week. Let's say they only played for 1 hour each. That's a million hours of people testing out your game. They spent around 8 years working on the game, if they had a team of 10 playtesters who literally worked 24/7 that would only add up to around 700,000 hours. It's simply not possible to cover everything, players will almost always be able to outdo the amount of resources you have.
>>538755451how deep is customization? can it fare with roguelites like nova drift that have the possible amount of upgrade/mod/gear combinations in upper millions?
I can't post a spoiler for the layout of this area because I can't find the map. Where is it? Already got the melody from this zone but no map for it or the area below. >>538763643Fair enough for things which require specific circumstances, but when a normal item simply does nothing under any circumstances, when it supposed t do something, it feels like they should have caught that. It would only require one tester doing a 100% playthrough.

>>538762395Right now, the problem I'm running into is that I need the Perfect Warrior law from the Wudang sect, but they closed their doors.What the fuck am I meant to do?
>>538768443>>538769994There is a point here. If an enemy deals contact damage, then any sudden movements is an attack and should be telegraphed as such. Especially if it's double damage. There are some cases where the boss flails while entering a stun, or the hitbox does not adjust to match it's stunned pose.
>>538774784why do you need perfect warrior specifically?

>>538777363It's the strongest Xiandao law. If you use it for spell cultivators, every spell you cast gets two casts for the price of one. If you use it with artifacts, all the artifacts are automatically doubled so if you had 6 artifacts you're effectively wielding 12. There's no better law to be the centre of the formation.

With a few exceptions (jester's cap, tiara of enlightenment, ruminator's monocle, robe of enlightenment, wavering cloth and vagabond armor which you're not supposed to get for free). Everything else is free with the expansion (including the very op "queen's clothing" and eternal stone), all the other dlc items were either integrated to the game or added as buyables from the black cat. Dark arisen also added things like a portcrystal outside cassardis and portable portcrystal all over the game.

>>538830835>>538830953The full jester set is buyable at the black cat.
Hehehe.
Dark bishop is dead and I'm level 102. Nice.
>>538842930Oh, he did a 180°, that closet pedo?
>>538843157Seems like it. Popped in the Onirism discord just today to apologize.
>>538842930>>538843157>>538843381>discord politicking and jewtoober literally whosTake it to >>>/vt/ if you're not gonna post about the game, you absolute niggers
>>538843827thisno one cares
>>538843381What a loser, lol.I'd understand if it was Nobeta, since the game HAS pantyshots, but Onirism is literally just "Evil Twin but the main character is a girl".
Hades II on the 25th
>>538846275It wasn't already out? Anyway, going to masturbate on the soundtrack
Daimon defeated. First fight where I had to actually focus to win and I had to use a few wakestones too.It still wasn't as hard as the first escort quest to the blood beach at level 5, that one took like 2 hours to simply arrive and another 30 minutes to get back. At least daimon doesn't one shot me.
Game for this feel?
>>538857758Disco Elysium
>>538846275Who cares? Sequels are always shit and never live up to the original.
>>538842930>i based my opinion of the game on pedo threads on /v/based retard
>>538858313This so much.I would love to do a full schizo fascist on drugs run just to see how low you can go, but I haven't yet been able to being myself to let Kim down like that.
>>538867210that game is hardone level takes me like an hour
>>538873787that's about rightplayed a ton and i can easily spend up to 1.5 hours on a single layer when doing something specific like crafting/trading. reaching the end of the current demo took me almost 10 hours
>>538690310I played bleed 1 in 2016 and bleed 2 in 2022 (and then went back to bleed 1 for the final achievements). They're really cool games.
also, apparently there's a super secret coop mod for scavgame that's at least 6 months old, but discord trannies don't want to share because they fear getting dmcad

>>538890981Anon, the line didn't say yellow...
Did someone say yellow paint!?
Can anyone recommend me a game that is going to instill in me the desire to live?In return here is a screenshot of Underworld; Ascendant, a super janky dungeon crawler from a decade ago which had hilarious ragdolls physics, and one time in my campaign the AI literally died. As in, the AI straight up ceased to function and all the enemies wouldn't react to being clobbered.
>>538891582It does the second time Harry says the line. To be exact it's "Dance, you yellow monkey fucker!".
>>538892009I didn't actually know lol, never saw it outside of screenshots
>>538891943>a game that is going to instill in me the desire to live?Mate you are asking the impossible.I guess some cozyslop like My Time At Sandrock, Kemono Tea Time or Fantasy Life may help. But in the end we were born to suffer and die.
>>538891943If you want the will to live you're in the wrong thread.
>>538891943What you need is a skinner box. As addictive as possible. Something that has you clinging on to life just so you can grind a bit more, even if you hate every moment of it.
I hate this fucking star system
It's probably a skill issue, but the platforming sections have been the only part that I find actually frustrating in Silksong
>>538896120Playing it portable on a switch with those tiny little joysticks makes it hard for me to pogo.
>>538896110That reminds me i still have to set the new radio system to play Star Wars shit
>>538897030I want to set it up to do all of Freelancer's soundtrack.
>>538896110Is that a blackhole? It sure won't ever beat doing a face to face with a blackhole in Elite Dangerous because you auto-planned a path, shit feel surreal, the way the space around start to curve inward and how your ship suddenly jump out of hyperdrive in emergency. Especially if youve been roaming for a few hours.
>>538897856>Is that a blackhole?It's worse than that. It's a mobile black hole.
Why is the main Vintage Story site so ass? The mods and wiki sites work fine, but the main one it's a coinflip if the connection times out
>>538897856Black holes in Underspace have that too, but underspace has the advantage of not being brabenvisioned.
Did the ACS anon manage to defeat a sect before Autumn ended? I was very interested in his story.>>538898475Maybe too many people using it on a Friday night on half the planet?Dunno. I remember when Sseth took down the Starsector payment website. And he did it with just a few thousand people.
It's up
>>538898559Dunnos what brabenvision supposed to mean, but it isnt like I dont understand the sentiment. Maybe ill pick it up one day to see what became of the Thargoid war and the exodus and whatnot, also I recall that there was a huge amount of new stations to be built here and there so it would make far exploration less of a pain, but the moment I remember im basically in the middle of nowhere and would need at least 5 hours of travel to get back to the bubble kind of bum me out l. If I do I may try out the fps dlc even if it suck ass, would make exploration a bit less tedious.
>>538900330>Maybe ill pick it up one day to see what became of the Thargoid war and the exodus and whatnoNothing really. They sorta unfucked the first person stuff but not really. The game's just so much of a time wasting game, and that's coming from someone who likes traveling in space games.
>>538897429Why though? The music is pretty solid in the game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvld772OZjc>>538896110>>538897030I hate black holes I hate black holes I hate black holes I hate black holes
>>538901439>The music is pretty solid in the game.I just like Freelancer's soundtrack and the areas in game match up pretty consistently with the ones in Freelancer. Bretonnia's soundtrack in Vauldwin works well.
>>538901650>I just like Freelancer's soundtrackFair.I don't have that many memories of Freelancer anyway, my English was atrocious when I played it, so I barely understood the story. Something something Freeport Seven, and blue things that live in people's mouths, and your reward for the last missions wasn't even monetary.Then I had to cheat and put all enemy damages to 0.1 because they'd wreck me.
>>538774784I don't have much time of Fridays but I did try to save scum Derivative Calc for a bit, couldn't get it to stop failing at all I don't remember what it requires to not fail.>>538899902>Did the ACS anon manage to defeat a sect before Autumn ended? I was very interested in his story.Progress is very slow on my end because I can't afford to just fast forward large amounts of days, I need to make my time count. It will probably be an IRL day or two at least until I even reach Autumn.
>>538901843If you like underspace you should definitely check it out. The gameplay's a lot simpler in areas and it's missing a lot of the features US has but it's also got a really good story and is a fully finished game
>>538902308Yeah, but nah. Freelancer's a Microsoft game, just like Rise of Legends, meaning it's a pain to get to work on modern PCs. I'd rather stick to Underspace than risk sullying my memories of Freelancer Alpha One Dash One.Mister Trent, you go first. Heard that one so much I still remember it.
>>538901936>couldn't get it to stop failing at all I don't remember what it requires to not fail.Checked wiki, that character as they are has a 4.6% chance to successfully cast it because their attainment is too low.Guess I'll have to fix that tomorrow.
>>538901936Good luck Anon! Remember to keep us posted.
>>538902472there's the HD mod for it plus the abandonware website that makes it all work natively, at least on windows 10.
I'd try out immortal mode in ACS for the achievements, if it wasn't for the ironman limitation. I do not trust the game (or any game) to not shit the bed at some point and ruin a long-running save because some bug broke something important.
>>538901285What ship is that?
>>538902472>Mister Trent, you go firstI like that you could fail a mission if you didn't go in.
>>538905046I hate that I never realized you had afterburners until I tried Underspace a while ago.
>>538905590Then how did you dodge missiles?
>>538905741See >>538901843>Then I had to cheat and put all enemy damages to 0.1 because they'd wreck me.
>>538905741With the dodge?
>>538906161...dodge?
>>538906297in Underspace? if you double tap a strafe key you do a flash step.
>>538906627Oh, in Underspace.I was afraid it was another thing I missed in Freelancer.

>>538912301Your gif is not moving...
Underspace ships looks so ugly. That's my problem with the game. I don't care about graphics but //design// and AESTHETHICS Yea that stuff bothers me.Even though I hope the dev pulls through with the game and succeeds with it. So I can play a legal Freelancer spirit child. Like with Onirism, I will pay full price when the game it out, even if it increases by 30 eurodollars. Cuz now I'm too old to be playing with alphas and beta janks(who am I kidding, I was playing Elin earlier).Which reminds me, gotta make copies of all my physical games, including Wii and PS1 and 2.On other news just started the tutorial for Abiotic Factor. Another early access game I was waiting to be out and with a few bugfixes passes before giving them money. It looks like Source. You REALLY REALLY are reminded this is !notBlackmesa.I dig it. More games should use this late 90's aesthetics. Like Voices Of The Void.Anyway, pic-related is my boi. Wish I could have made him fatter. All day working in thermodynamics and whatnod and snacking all the time should have given him a big full belly. But oh well. Guess being more or less /fit/ due to lab work should be good too.
>>538919372I'm STILL angry that I accidentally scrapped my best weapons.
>>538919372I like my little Firmament.
>>538919372>>538920193Now what job would be best for a person with reduced motor skills and reflexes?I guess the trans or the summer intern.
>>538919372FYI ship modding is coming with the next update. I got to find a way to port the Freelancer and Homeworld ships in
>>538893081>Kemono Tea TimeIt greatly upsets me that the jars have a higher pixel count than the UI. I'd genuinely try it otherwise, inconsistencies like this are the worst.
>>538919372>You REALLY REALLY are reminded this is !notBlackmesa.Yeah but it turns out to be not!SCP Foundation instead. Wait until you meet the Leyak.
So you can't harvest your fellow humans for some long pig.
A fucking pooping minigame. Glorious.>>538925428>not!SCPPity SCP went to shit when it was ovetaken by tumblr and reddit.Anyway good night for now. More exploring to do tomorrow.
>Cloud Meadow is supposed to leave EA in 2025lollmao
>>538926602SCPs real problem, though the Homestuck satellite is garbage, is that the entries became based around gimmicks rather than the item.
>>538920324The vauldwin and pirate fighters are good too. Honestly only the start ship is super ugly, but it's the start ship
>>538842930>>538843381>See a game about a child having a bad dream about her toy being stolen>"UH! SUS! SUSSY! UH YIKES! UH THAT'S PDF FILE!!"I know that guy is a degenerate just from that statement alone. Afaik onirism doesn't contain anything remotely sexual or suggestive.
>>538842930>i saw it on 4chan so it must be true
>>538932169I'm partial to the beacon just because it's so weird comparatively. Much more and the bubble cockpit has the best visibility.
>>538903224>I'd try out immortal mode in ACS for the achievements, if it wasn't for the ironman limitation. I do not trust the game (or any game) to not shit the bed at some point and ruin a long-running save because some bug broke something important.If you did ACS immortal mode and didn't savescum hard enough to effectively remove the ironman portion, you'd be the only person on the planet who didn't do that. Just open your save folder and make a copy of your save file elsewhere any time you want to save your game and move it back while you're on the main menu, it's easy.Each location on your PC = one save slot.
So I've decided to buy some scifi doom clone called Beyond Sunset on a whim earlier and its pretty neato, cyberpunk themed where you are some cyber ninja clone who go kill techno yakuza and megacorps, nice controls and a ton of secret if youre into that but I do wish the energy gun could shoot a bit faster, given its the only way to destroy shield and these bastard love to dodge your shots. Level design is pretty good and tend to make sense, also visually its 10/10, atm in the Metacorp headquarter and the whole place is pure kino. Also seem to be of a good lenght, I have a few hours into it and im just at s1m3.>>538931579You can tell all the OG writers left and its now a sad shell of its former self, peanut being retroactively changed was the final nail in the coffin. But at least the gamedevs who use the setting seem to have respect for the setting.

>>538945608Thank you. :)
>>538939436That was a nice game, and the ending cutscene is definitely a sequel bait, actually looking forward to it. Would recommend if you like doom-like shooters.
Wow, I was not expecting it to get it.>only done 750 times before
>>538940829Thanks I'm getting anxiety.

>>538960452Black holes just suck. Boring.But the fact that neutron stars can exist in this universe alongside casual matter is what should give you existential dread.
>>538975391Black holes suck so much that they eat light and time. Meaning you never fall into a black hole, you end up spaghettified and falling in it eternally.
>>538966838No.
>Hornet is constantly getting naked, tied up, and has a dedicated ability that makes her dress lift upWhat did they mean by this
>>538954328Darkwood 2 never
>>538975391Oh there's a neutron star somewhere around here too. i forgot where it is though.
>>538975524>Implying time exist>>538975391Neutron stars are especially spooky, any space travel around them would be akin to traversing a minefield, especially if they have a big jet, and given how quick they tend to spin its basically the equivalent of a many light-year long blender blades spinning at hundred of times per seconds. In comparison black holes are just super strong gravity wells you can safely avoid just by staying a reasonable distance away.
>>538989658Yeah that's shame, but I gotta be honest with you: Their next game was pretty damn soulful as well.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2403430/Soccer_Kids_Alpha/

This means we’re going to have to shift release to be a week later on October 2nd to avoid being undoubtedly buried by a truly amazing title.>The good news is that this gives us even more time to ensure Onirism 1.0 is the best it possibly can be, so stay tuned for more info on what 1.0 will contain!>And finally, Congratulations on an awesome game Supergiant, we’ll all be playing!>~Crimson Tales & Shoreline Games
>>538901936Finally managed to persuade my guy to succeed at a derivative calculation, the law in question is Jade Purity. Not the most useful law and the fucking snowfield is the opposite corner of the map, but it is a law I don't have so it's always useful. I will have to make the trip with one of my slower cultivators though as they're the only one with the right stats for the job.
>>538966838The idea is better than the execution. It's Space Engineers, but with things to actually do with your ship. Lots of shit both planetside and orbital to blow up and loot, multiple different factions to trade with (and blow up and loot), a wide variety of planet types to explore (and loot), and you get to shoot dinosaurs with shipboard plasma launchers.In practice it's a cobbled-together janktacular mess with bad performance, abysmal combat, zero visual identity, endless bugs, glacial development, a fairly baffling control scheme, and is hard carried by mods. But despite that it still has more going for it than spengies.
>>539010008>2 week delayI literally don't give a shit. It releases when it releases and I'll be playing it that day.Silksong should've had another year of dev time, for the record.
>>539019490It's not even a 2 week delay, it's eight (8, ocho) days.
>>539017719Hah.Shame, the floating bicycle sounded interesting.
>>539016483fucking snowfield is so farit has a couple nice events too but they're weird and onetime and i never remember what the reqs are
I need you to kill yourself, shilldev.
>>539010008she angery
The fuck is with all the rain in 1.21? I swear half the world has 'almost all the time' rainfall. But I've been in a 'common' rainfall area for 3 days and legit have not seen sunlight once.
Anyone else here played Spacebourne 1 and 2 here? Pure slavjank that try to be everything at once but I cant deny its a true passion project, the 2nd is going to be legit one of the best space sim ever if he manage to bring his ideas to fruition.
>>539032872I tried 2 some time ago, but it ran terribly and the tutorial broke halfway though and I couldn't do anything.
>>538779108Pretty nice anon. So it's a small gta clone but without missions.
>>538564013>Choo Choo CharlesI think it should at least be commended for being an original idea. Man I wish there were more sandbox horror games.>Didn't enjoy Undertale and DeltaruneShame, but up to you anon
>>538891943>Will to liveGo read some existentialists.
I've found a tierlist of 600 different indie horror games online (which seems to be updated from time to time) and am trying to play all of them. Which one of those should I play next?
>>539039684I liked Choo Choo Charles. That dude is just a faggot.
>>538891943Play the last 60 minutes of Disco Elysium.
Holy fuck, Lace can get fucked with a rusty nail, those fucking counters are annoying as fuck especially when she can pop them that quickly and for some reason she love dodging right where im about to land. Havent raged that hard in a while, also I genuinely dislike how they changed the downward strike with a diagonal one, make landing hits from above harder for no reason.>>539034532Last time I played I had no problem with the tutorial, and supposedly the dev is nearly done with the main story, ill probably start a new game once im done with silksong.
I probably shouldn't go down there, but I really want to. At least it's all made of granite, I haven't found any hard rocks nearby.
>>539045802(me)I think it's one of those modded procedural dungeons. A lot of vessels to break and quite a few chests to loot. Couldn't stay long because there were corrupted drifters on my ass, but I snagged a handful of copper rocks, a spear, and a torch holder.
>>539044614>>539044614>Decide to start drinking to change my mind>Try it again>Manage to beat her on 3rd tryGo figure, guess the moral is if you're struggling on a boss, just retry when you are calmer. May have overreacted due to latent anger.
I've beaten Daimon's true form. That was actually a really hard fight and I had to buy a ton of magick boosting items and check the damage formula to actually damage him. My reward: A staff!... Which I can't use because I'm a sorcerer and I use an archistaff instead. Nice... I also got a significantly more powerful armor that looks like shit so I guess I'm only gonna use it to farm Daimon.May I mention that the damage formula is really dumb? Everything is a multiplier and damage has a set threshold where you either do no damage or a ton of a damage. Also it's not mentioned or shown in game that you can stack the same buff up to 4 times, resulting in a 1.2^4 magick multiplier or 2.0736 times magick. Which results in a significantly higher effective damage because of the threshold. Also your perks are multiplicative with each other too.
>>538850884It was in early access, 1.0 will have the actual continuation/ending of the story.
I wonder how the proper ending will be set up? With how much of a proper enemy Chronos + Typhon are, I can't really imagine how they'll make the runs repeatable post-game like the first Hades did, unless it utilizes Hypnos's dream world stuff.
>>539050916Congrats, I got filtered by him, but I suspect its mostly because I was a grug stonemash strengh build and could barely hurt him before he wiped my whole posse of serf/pawns.
>10 but the silksong...
are there any subnautica mods worth a replay
>>539073430This one looks fun, but I've never been able to stick with a playhtrough for long enough to actually get to the point where you unlock all the shit it adds. Also it's for the legacy version of the game before the big room update, even though they keep saying they're working on an update.http://fcstudioshub.com/subnautica/subnauticafcspda/It's a huge base building upgrade though unfortunately the base building in Subnautica is a buggy mess, so I wonder how well it actually works.All other mods I've heard about don't really interest me because they usually add more story, alien lore and alien tech and I couldn't care less about that.
>>539046636>moddedCare to share your modlist?I'm currently procrastinating getting into my new world with Better Traders, Better Ruins and Expanded Foods as soon as it gets updated
>>538379080>It's about an hour and change longMy apologies I take this back.The main story is about an hour and a half to two hours long, but there's a post game I just became aware of which is at least an hour long, but I'd have to look at a fan made map or something to tell if I know of every secret now. I think there's more, could be a little or a lot I'm unsure.I have no fucking clue how they're pulling out new mechanics and useable edge cases without actually giving the player new abilities or anything, I thought that well was surely tapped dry by the end of the main story but no there's just more and more using just stuff you could do all along.
>>539059302I grinded him a few more times. At one point I just stopped summoning my pawn because all she did was steal the aggro and waste time before dying. Now I'm level infinity with 4k base magick so I guess nothing short of a magic immune enemy can do anything against me.
do i need another item to free the bell ghost place? i only have dash, the cloak, and reaper so far
>>539098831wall climb I think.
Is there a mod that distills Undertale down to the essentials so one can "experience" it without having to play it? The "gameplay" is unbearable.
>>539102805Watch a playthrough of it, I guess?
>>539098831Go left and have fun.
>>539040721Charles is just kind of basic. Truly a two hour long game.
>>539102805It's a super easy game, if you just want a gameplay playthrough of it though I recommend ManlyBadassHero.
>>539103182That's what I meant, it's basic as fuck but it's such a fucking cool concept that it's a shame no one picked it up and ran with it. The fucking idea of going through an open world in an armoured vehicle that you upgrade through doing missions and finding shit while in a horror world is super cool. This is a really creative concept, it's just that the execution is lacking to hell and back.
>>539103182Yes, it's basic, but I feel like the basic idea would overstay its welcome.
>>539104175If you added a little more to it than just the one monster it could work.
>>539104375Shed 17 the game would be fun
>>539016483I'm here with a page 10 update to say I got it. The main law I want is the alchemy law, because yeah, but I'll take anything that I can get.
>>539112310ffs
Silksong is just too fucking big holy shit
>>539010008That's too bad, the original release date was my birthday.
>>539112310Another one, this time much closer by.
>beat the "final" boss>still a ton of hoops to jump through to reach Act 3I was ready for this game to be over 5 hours ago
>>539123056Even better: it's the Alchemy law I've been after. Fuck yeah.I need somebody to actually learn it and be good with it, but getting the damned law first was the real problem.Meanwhile I've still not been able to unlock the worm valley so it looks like I'm going to miss out on the summer herb. At best I'll be able to get it next year, delaying my plans. I guess it wasn't that important after all because a much more important part of the plan has stalled badly, namely getting my agencies up and running, I've not enough people to set up any new ones.
>>539123328honestly wish i wasn't already spoiled on the existence of act 3 because it would have been probably pretty cool to just stumble into. i still enjoy how much shit there is to do and how many bosses there still are that weren't along the critical path for the act 2 "ending". except bilewater. fuck bilewater.
>>539123409>167 years oldHoly shit okay, I have just now learned that time spent while camped at a location actually counts for their age. That's never been relevant enough to notice before but now I can't just dick around while camping and treat it as free time.
Looks like they're overhauling container fluids in scav
>>539132912Even includes injectables.
>>539124446>honestly wish i wasn't already spoiled on the existence of act 3Nigger, the triple act structure has been the golden rule of storytelling since fucking Aristotle.
Well since Slay the Spire 2 got delayed that's ruined my gaming plans for the remained of 2025. What are some other rougish/deckbuilder-likes that aren't quite straight up card battlers? For example I've been enjoying Shogun Showdown lately, I like the turn based strategy elements with the rougelite systems. I don't know if that's too vague of a concept.
>>539076495It's a disgusting abomination.Expanded Foods is the last thing on my 1.20 modlist that doesn't work on 1.21
>>539124446>it would have been probably pretty cool to just stumble intoI refuse to believe even 1% of players would ever reach it unintentionally
>>539134474Stackland?
>filtered by Silksong PlatformingIt's very fun when you finally pull it off, but also this is probably the only time the game has genuinely frustrated me
>>539134554Crazy.I'd love to play with more mods, but I'm a little worried of making y game experience too inconsistent, if that makes sense. And also of course the problem of mods getting abandoned and having to wait forever for updates and shit like that.>ElectricityThat's neat. I remember finding some older electricity mod that was abandoned and liking the idea. Getting some Thief vibes from that
>>539135812There's a mod that lets you put respawn checkpoints on any flat surface, and I would have ragequit on Mount Fay without it. The bosses are pretty easy but the platforming is ball-busting.
>>539103597I'm surprised it didn't inspire more clones like lethal company did.Hell lethal company plus choo choo Charles would be great.
>>539128123>Running into dupes alreadyIt's going to be like that, huh?
>>539136959I'd be down for a more persistent Lethal Company.Of course it adds the the tension that you could lose it all in the blink of an eye, but having more meaningful upgrades and shit would be cool too
fucking Daymare Town HD tomorrow
>>539143389Ace Combat 3/4/5/0 ported to Wingman's engine would fuck hard, but sadly its actual campaign is really generic
>>539144452Based and SkutnikpilledAlso No I'm Not a Human tomorrow too
>>539135179well you can just continue the "bad ending" save as if you didn't fight,the boss, and as another anon suggests, it obvious that act 3 exists. another thing is you don't need to do anything complicated or unintentional, just explore a lot and complete wishes. I guess if I didn't look up how to get to karrak I'd be able to reach it without help
>>539144452lets go
>>539133010me on my way to gallon bleach jug with heroin
>>539145015I went through the whole game hitting every wall, floor and ceiling checking for secrets, and still dont have enough fleas to progress the story.
Oh damn, I just came down here to rip up some of the fences and leftover vessels.
I did itgood game, best metroidvania in a long while.
>>539148474>70 hoursIs Act 3 that long? I beat Grandmother Silk in 20 hours and really, really don't want to spend 50 just tying up loose ends.
>>539148982No, im just slow and bad. I have friend who did 100% in 40-50hrs
>>539133010>Overdose at 2mlDoes it really take that little amount of fent to fuck you up?
>>539149478>Two milligrams of fentanyl can be lethal depending on a person’s body size, tolerance and past usage. DEA analysis has found counterfeit pills ranging from .02 to 5.1 milligrams (more than twice the lethal dose) of fentanyl per tablet.>42% of pills tested for fentanyl contained at least 2 mg of fentanyl, considered a potentially lethal dose.>Drug trafficking organizations typically distribute fentanyl by the kilogram. One kilogram of fentanyl has the potential to kill 500,000 people.https://www.dea.gov/resources/facts-about-fentanyl
>>539152852considering expies are shorter and lighter than humans (150cm - 55kg), i'd say they have pretty good drug tolerance but 2ml is entirely feasible

I think I'm set on clay for a while. I don't even know what to do with it all.
Holy fuck I ahbor flying enemies in Silksong, they are pure fucking cancer to fight and constantly swerve all over the place like spastic flies. Combined with the on contact damage and how enemies love to just tank your hits and run into you make for a unfun experience. Ie you can block an enemy attack if you time your own to contact it but its fucking pointless because the enemy model clip into your own and you get damaged anyway.

>>539181412Tutorial
>>539173161I don't have much to say. When I alt-tab dragon's dogma dies 1/10 of the time and right now I'm doing the world's worst fetch quest. "From a different sky", why is this the world's worst fetch quest? 100 badges hidden through the map... You can only take 6 quests at a time, in order from 1 to 100 in a game with extremely limited fast travel. But that's not the worst part, they're MARKED ON YOUR MAP so you know exactly where they are. Apparently it was a fucking DLC FOR $0.99 PER 10 QUESTS!So basically it's a fetch quest where you can't stumble upon the item by exploring, it's always marked on your map, you can only do 6 at a time, the reward is (sadly) good enough for me to bother and it cost money.The game already has a much better version of that quest in the dlc with the macabre statues which took me a few hours to find except for the last one that I had to look up online because you can't reasonably find it after killing daimon.
>>539182762Peering into the depths of madness and incorporating a piece of a god beyond reality into my soul is just the tutorial?Groovy.
>>539160329>I don't even know what to do with it all.Wattle and daub and/or cobblestone buildings. All that clay will be gone in an instant.
She is not kissing you back
>>539192036Good. Girls give you cooties.
>>539181412I played Vamp Survivors for the first time this xmas (it was the only game my old grandma's shitty laptop could handle) and it was actually a nice surprise! I didn't know anything about other than every fucking normie cookie clicker game in the past ~5 years or so being a carbon copy of it, but the progress was fun-ish and the stuff you talk about actually made it seem interesting. Almost like some sort of Evangelion meta story?
>>539183626>the reward is (sadly) good enough for me to botherUnless it's better than a Maker's Finger I seriously doubt it
>>539196723I found out that hard mode removes all the RC drops from the base game so it's either that or grinding the final boss of the dlc 50 times.
>>539192036I've never kissed a girl.
>>539200625I've never kissed.
>>539201160I've never.
>>539201160I got pegged, but I never kissed.
>>539195190the castlevania vibes are really nice, but the genre evolved past VS, there are other games with better gameplaythere probably better games to play on a laptop too, mine had trouble dealing with VS and most other survivor games, due to how much stuff there is on the screen and poor optimization
>>539205605I've tried a couple others in the genre, when they had a free weekend, demo or whatever, and I'll have to disagree: I actually found VS to be leagues ahead of the competition and its duplicates. Much more direct and simple, doesn't have a ~7-minute windup start and the item selection is diverse and useful enough to allow for a variety of builds. The rest of the slop didn't.
>>539207179>calling any other game "slop" while playing VSlollmao
>>539208518Hi drone.
More like Silkthong.
After a long time in development, it's out (in early access)https://store.steampowered.com/app/1330360/Fata_Deum__The_God_Sim/Thoughts? I've had a hankering for Black & White but it's impossible to buy in any format that runs even reasonably well on any system past XP.
>>539212672>Thoughts?Terrible name
>>539212972It's "Destiny as ordained by the gods" in Latin, roughly. I agree it doesn't quite roll off the tongue.
>>539212672mite b cool
>>539138291I just ran the numbers. At this guy's current cultivation speed if the array is run at absolute max speed the entire time, he'll just about be able to hit Primordial Spirit after six days of uninterrupted meditation.Fuck man I don't remember it taking this long before.For those reading, any parts you want me to focus on more or show or whatever?
>>538166092There's a difference between walking the same path on the way to something you know you need and walking the same path on the way to the boss you'd like to spend more time practicing on than running back to.Silksong is so awful in that regard but it's not even why I'm not having much fun, rather it's the lack of options to build your character, the lack of reward for doing side bosses, the dumb souls corpse run mechanic when everything in the game requires to pay rosaries, and the tools currency that you also have to farm when it could just replenish at the bench and that's it.
>>539225714Just missing Seven Sword Slaughter, the one pretty worthless advanced fire law I forget the name of, and the talisman law I'd have to go pick up from He Zuando still. I was thinking to myself that I don't actually need that one any more as drawing talismans is a slot machine for me, but it still has other useful bonuses.
>>539227438Wait>>539128123>I have just now learned that time spent while camped at a location actually counts for their age.Shit fuck, it's not time spent camping it's that the modifier which makes my guys age up at 100x the normal rate also makes Meditation age them 100x faster too, jfc fuck me. Help.
I love my mouse wife
THE SUUUUUUUUN GOES DOWWWWWWN
>>539231307Shouldn't you destroy a sect soon?
>>539207179Which ones did you try? The genre is arguably full of uninspired thrash.My main issue with VS is how much focus there is in combining weapons (unless they radically changed the core mechanics) there ins't much else to builds or gameplay. I just got bored after a couple of hours.
>>539239509Destroying a sect is a bit of a distant dream atm, there's a laundry list of things I need to do to get my guy into shape of varying urgency before I can even consider that, and the whole sect killing thing is secondary to the main point. I need level 3 halls in every agency location, sect killing is just to make it so I'm not fighting over people in the main locations.

>>539244440Wasn't that one Onirism?
>>539244329
>>539144452>24€I don't know anon, is it really worth the price? Aren't they glorified flash games? But if it's a long game i have no complaint
>>539244329I played EA version a while ago and I liked it.Does it have a proper English translation now? Because it used have a pretty bad mtl.
>>539231307I've never been so happy to see a minor boost to lifespan from a breakthrough before. Not actually PS yet, this was just a minor breakthrough in GC, but I needed the life badly.>>539244329>So where are you on your time table?>Start playing the game>Dig up a casket and savescum the Heaven Stealing law from it>Get my starter guy to Primordial Spirit <---- I am here>Unlock the Wormwood Valley>Get the Summer Herb during Summer (will have to wait for Summer year 2 now)>Get the Perfected Warrior(?) law from the Wudang sect>Get 3 of my bears raised to have lots of max qi in the Heaven Stealing law>Raise my pre-prepared Snake yao as a Perfected Warrior>Craft 6 Tribulation Needle artifacts>Get the Winter Worm from Wormwood Valley during Winter>With the herb and worm in hand, unlock better formations>During all of this, as early as possible, start agencies at every single possible location and work hard at raising them up to 100k people per location, while collecting tons of wood and wheat to build all of this>Form a formation with the Perfected Warrior as the lead and the three Heaven Stealers as the supports>Use formation to kill off the sect(s) that are most in my way for getting 100k people at the Central Plains and City of Abundance>Get level 3 main halls at all eleven locations before the end of year 3

Phantom Brigade is coming up on a year since the announcement of the pilot update (24 Sept 2024), and it's still not finished. Makes me wonder if there's only 1 or 2 people still working on the game

I've been really enjoying this game a lot. Alternate histories are such a fun concept even if some of the story lines presented are a bit artsy and don't make much sense.>if you could go back in time for ten years, to any time period, to try and change things and create a better present day, when would it be?>what would you try and change?>even if you succeed, are you sure the outcome will be better than what we have now?

>>539246184honestly it's more about supporting Skutnik cause even with the additional content i doubt the game will be longer than 3-4 hours
>>539256090it's free bloodmaybe anyway i can't actually remember the thresholds for beast drops
>>539263642It'll be 1 blood and 15 hides which is nice, but the only guy I have who could handle it is on the other side of the world about to camp for the talisman law.
>>539263754you've got your dog around, can't he handle it?
Hippity hoppity back to page 1 we go
Also people speaking on the Steam group. First time since I lurk this place that I see people active there.
>>539263889Lol, lmao even. The dog has a bunch of max qi but his attack is absolutely atrocious, even attacking a qi shaping cultivator who's out of qi they can recover from their light injuries faster than the dog can bite them to death. Monsters usually come with several natural artifacts, he could probably tank for a bit while my main guy blaps him down with Firestorm, but he'd lose to either one of them as they can damage him but he can't really damage them back, and they'd definitely both attack together.

Dug a tunnel to connect two lakes. I'll have to make it wider for sailboats at some point, but for now it works for rafts.
>>539304246Do you need support beams, too?
>>539304331I have cave-ins disabled, so only as decoration maybe.
>>539304246On the map. The yellow outline was a pond that was one block higher than the lakes, so I had to drain it.

>>539306862Yes.
>>539306862More or less the same. Or at least same as it was a decade ago. I don't know if it was changed since last time I played. From what I've seen mc is completely different now.
>>539308728That's a shame. I though they'd at least have done something more realistic for that, instead of being a blatant MC clone.>From what I've seen mc is completely different now.???MC's water flow mechanics have been the same for over 15 years.
>>539309265And you haven't played MC for at least 5 years, if not more.
>>539309362What are you talking about?I don't remember any changes to the flow mechanics whatsoever between 2009-2025, aside from from one minor change that occurred at some point, making lava flow faster in nether.
autosage
>>539309362>>539310013I mean, flow-based aqueducts and water/lavafalls made back in SMP (oldest world on our archive server) still work exactly the same in Minecraft 1.21.

Not sure if it's the right general to ask about rune factory 4 but do I really have to grind armor and weapon crafting skills to progress the story? Never played a RF game before and now I'm kinda stuck because the monsters in a cave after that fuckass squirrel stole Venti's charm from me are kicking my ass, they take a lot of hits too.
>>539289893>Backpack BattlesNo cute mouse MC
>>539316520There are some mean jumps in difficulty between locations, yeah.Just keep working on your skills and eat bread until you can make something with whatever the highest materials available to you are.Also doing the previous bosses daily for their unique drops might be nice since I think they had some decent effects if used to strengthen equipment.The entire rune factory 4 crafting system is perfect to go full autism on.
