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?
>>538389058Game companies care because they're afraid of the mob and are fucking cowards. If you check out most remakes there will be shit censored, ranging from lines of dialogue altered, removal of content or entire "modernization". It's absolutely disgusting.

>>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.
>>538392916Well I assume it's more like 2h if you're of more average intelligence so perhaps you'll get 3 out of it :^)
>>538379080>an hour long and worth every penny.What a long winded way to say you suck cocks for food.
>>538389350>but he drank the koolaid and he drank a lot of it.THEY'RE ALL FUCKING CONNECTED
>>538394385No u feggit, also honestly it's probably closer to two hours than anything.
>>538394764What is it with these fucks and their obsession over babies?
>>538394764Posts so bad I subconsciously averted my gaze.
>>538394950They can't breed, so they can only recruit.
>>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. Pedos ring do love acting like sekrit clubs.

>>538394764>Pay for a "culturally appropriate proofereader">Still write something that breaks so many social norms that it becomes almost offensiveIt's like paying for a racial sensivity consultant on a minstrel show.
god I wish Oxygen not included didnt have such a retard cartoon art style... just like rimworld
>>538399050It is.The same faggot tampered with Signalis, World of Horror, Mouthwashing, Dragon Quest 3 remake, Silent Hill TSM, Buckshot Roulette, Gorn 2, Sifu, Monster Hunter Stories, Dredge, Trek to Yomi, etc. An ever growing list of indie games.
>>538394764>those tweetsI swear those "people" are the losers that everyone mercilessly ganked in early 00s MMOs.Over 20 years ago they still speak like their e-bullies.The trauma runs deep.
>>538399881Man, it's about time my nihongo gets to a level I don't have to put up with this bullshit.
Played the demo of Poke ALL Toads. Only did the flevels of the first map and then I saw that I won't really be into where the puzzledesign goes to.Also 100% don't want to see more of the devs blatant vore fetish.
>>538193350https://store.steampowered.com/developer/WadjetEyeGamesJust go down the publisher list since she liked a point&click adventure. Also everything pregollum from Daedalic.
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.
>>538401690I more meant games where you chase an ever expanding score you have to beat each round, than the poker/gambling aesthetic, though I think the ideas do work well together

>>538220971I've had it on the wishlist for a while and tried it with a friend during the free weekend. After failing a lowest difficulty tutorial mission three times I can only say: What the FUCK were they thinking with sending in the Spelunky ghost-spaceship in half the time it takes to complete the area mission when you beeline to all the objectives?It's certainly not on my wishlist any more.
>>538399881And yet out of all those games I've played I didn't notice any problem so why should I care?
>>538406527Homos need not reply.
Spend 30 minutes looking at a countdown to the end of the world while listening to various radio stations in my mech.Honestly 10/10
>>538394764I'm playing the game in English, why would I care? The guardian angel thing is just cringy marketing, literal nothingburger.
>>538128106i love that instantly recognizable shitty UI straight from the 00ssoldak my beloved

>>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.
Anyone played Hero's Hour? The Songs of Conquest devs were shilling it and it's 60% off, but it doesn't have a proper campaign and apparently the AI cheats logistics
>>538401607Clocerpit is coming out soon and it's a roguelite about literal gambling where you can lose if you simply don't get any good rolls in a slot machine
>>538410881*Cloverpit
>>538399881I can't believe he ruined these games I've played and enjoyed.
>>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.
>>538413273>money launderingDo you guys just go by vibes instead of what words mean?
>>538413823lollmao even
>>538413397I'm a professional translator... If I had done even half the things he did, I'd be out of a job.
>>538414192Explain how it's money laundering, anon.
>>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
>>538409984>like when he changed big boss' impotence into a comaWait what
>>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.
>>538099930Made a thread on /v/ about The Riftbreaker and it went to shit immediately, so I've come to here to ask of your opinions on it
I'm not proud of it, but I got the (morally) worst crewser now. By cheating. I consoled in the corpses. I couldn't bring myself to do it normally.
silksong, decided to explore a bit instead of doing the main story gauntlet and found some weirdo
>>538431898I keep getting lost instead of progressing the story. Have two fighting styles unlocked, a bunch of weapons and special attacks, and the ability to climb walls, but no fucking clue what I'm supposed to be doing.
>>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.
>>538405741What the fuck are you talking about.
>>538431898holy shit what a boss fight, probably the first one in the game that I really enjoyed (even though I only reached the second phase for now)gonna try more tomorrow
>>538397708That explains my experience with Tactical Breach Wizards, it felt to me like that game was talking down to me.
I still can't get over how Tarkov, Rimworld, Empyrion, and Caves of Qud all run on the same damn engine.
>>538442815And all of em run like shit
