>>539289638>That's actually the second planet so not exactly "early", you're meant to start on the other planet.The game doesn't convey that idea anywhere though, it just presents it as the "new campaign". It says that its harder, but it also its supposed to be more balanced and linear.

Ah, Earth Dancer! Your dance has brought me joy and happiness. In gratitude, allow me to bestow upon you this recipe.
Fuck you catchphrase cunt
>>539344420Who?
man I'd kill for a new viva pinata
>game devs of color expoRight...You know, I think I'm less interested in a game where the devs are explicitly using their race as a selling point.
>>539340012Another one bites the dust. Didn't care to save this one though, her stats were shit and she was bedridden for ages. If I'd noticed she'd finally woken up I would have sent her off to the abbey.

any nexusers?im getting filtered by the 2nd tower.
>>539363506I tried it, but I don't think it's for me. Did the first tower with a guide, did the mini tower by myself, but anything else was just too stressful. I took one look at the beach level and just turned the game off.
It's not a shithole, it's a shithome.
>>539366235I wish I could unlearn the game and play it again. I learned some bullshit that trivialized farming and got rid of any remaining challenge it had.
>>539364884I wish you could see all floors before reaching them. its not fun to get to a new floor and its like, hope you have 7 yellow keys or start over.
First carrot harvest gave me a full stack of the fuckers, and I've got a bronze anvil cooking. Life's good.>>539366949That alone is half the stress. I get that the main gameplay loop is redoing towers over and over with better knowledge, better strategies, and more sun tokens, but it's very much all or nothing, and sitting there staring at a single floor deliberating for hours and making one move every five minutes, just to walk away with nothing because you played wrong 4 floors ago, doesn't really inspire a will to keep playing. You can't even Leeroy yourself across the tower the first runthrough just for scouting because you still need to prepare 6 floors beforehand.
Started candy box 2, and now all the little guy does is nom on big candies
>>539372449oh shit. I didn't know there was sequel.
>make some chests>don't need to store shit all over the floor anymoreIt's so wonderful, every time.

I was told dragon's dogma had a great story and a rich world. That was a lie, oh my god the writing is so bad and the world is empty. I just finished it and it's just a below mediocre game that doesn't really have anything it does very well.
>>539381584the praise it gets comes from people who think skyrim is the peak of video gaming
>>539381581Hah. Not my jam then.
>>539381735The praises it get comes from people who think skyrim and elden ring are bad.
>>539366532>learn game>realize it's shitMany such cases. Don't know why you'd want to go back though.
>>539382215Are you retarded?
>>539380891Medium soil is, "good enough," to grow just about anything at a decent pace. Just dig up the tilled soil and replace it once you've sucked out the nutrients with a crop of each nutrient type and repeat. The only time you really should care enough to use terra preta is for greenhouses, if even.>>539382215All I can ask for is the dev to focus less on retarded autism like butterfly/mushroom/etc species and more progression. The mods are really propping up the game. It's really annoying to see nothing of value having been added mechanics-wise in the near 5 years I've played.
>>539382913>Just dig up the tilled soil and replace it once you've sucked out the nutrients with a crop of each nutrient type and repeatWait, doesn't that destroy the cube entirely?
>>539383258Yes, and that's really not a problem with how prevalent medium soil is. Even if you have to run a few thousand blocks to get it, an inventory full is enough to play through the entire game
>>539381584>crapcum>good
>>539383396Fair.
>>539382913>focus less on retarded autism>more progressionThe more things change, the more they stay the same.Even back in the days it was a minecraft mod, terrafirmacraft was always the one with better progression than vintagecraft.
Cobblestone walls and plank floors, or plank walls and cobble floors?
>playing the Dead Cells (roguelite) content in BlazBlue Entropy Effect (roguelite)>it's an actual metroidvania (not a roguelite)Huh?

>>539384380plank walls and floors, except for the cellar which should be raw stone
>>539383967Every single time tfc is brought up I search around for what version to play and there is never a definitive answer
>>539385204is it even still alive? it's been a long time
>>539385407There are multiple versions for multiple mc versions by multiple devs and of those they are in multiple modpacks. I have no idea what the fuck is going on with any of them

anyone fucking with the Fellowship open beta Thurs through the weekend? i guess they got a lot of backlash from their original opening whatever Fest introduction lol because they had a video of a dev talking about the game on their Steam pagebut this dude was wearing a dress and had a thick-ass bushy beardbut now they got some dorky looking dude in a hat and hoodie in their vids now lolit's a dungeon-spam game like MMO dungeons but if the game were just dungeons
>>539380696>speaking of which, outers don't actually exist outside of their statline once dispatched, right? except for the abbot who i think you can still recall>so aging wouldn't matterYeah, while out age and tribulation is completely frozen, so if I want to preserve somebody I can just send them as an abbot, and if I don't care about them I can send them as a disciple.
>>539380696>>539406792Also I didn't notice it at the time, but I quietly passed a playtime milestone I originally wasn't sure I'd ever hit.
Cultic releasing tomorrow if that means anything around here.
In other news, Dispatch got a release date
>>539408412Is that the superhero manager one? Is it good?
>>539408412That's a cute corgi on the right
>>539384380Rammed dirt walls with cobble or plank corner pillars. Replace 2 packed dirt with sand when making rammed dirt to make different color.
>>539408234Wait do you mean chapter 2? Fuck yeah I had played the speudo demo that was a little sidestory in a police station and it was neat.
>>539255430I have no idea how many endings this game has, but I've seen 9 of them, and maybe 1 of them so far isn't a horrible ending. it's so bleak, and with everything going on in the world, sadly so relatable
If you're playing Daymare Town remember to stow somewhere safe your items before getting on the hot-air balloon
I have a weird obsession with this game, I've wanted to play it again since I was a kid and now I learn it has community run-servers. I don't know if I really want to play an MMO from 2004 though shit sounds kinda ass.
>>539408412Hate the artstyle.
>>539427128Try it anyway.
>>539427341I don't know, I get the strong feeling this is one of those games that's more fun to think about then actually play. I remember playing it as a little kid and hearing older kids in my friend group talking about it on camping trips and they made it sound so cool; how you could combine elements together and be a fire/ice blaster if you wanted, or be a tank that protects themselves with fire or radiation or whatever. And I thought all of those were perfectly balanced and that must mean it's a good game lmao
>>539427658Yeah, but still. I got really obsessed with an old game called Deathtrap Dungeon, and it wouldn't leave me alone until I emulated it on playstation and finally played it myself.
>>539408412me in the background
>>539427128WoW is an MMO from 2004 (that I personally think is shit) but people still play it all the time
>>539428631WoW was THE reason MMOs went to shit.It was too popular for its own good, everyone and their dog wanted a slice of the wow free money pie, putting out shitty wow clones until audience fatigue killed any hope for the genre.
>>539386759>posting tactical nexusgood luck to you but i am not sure what kind of reaction you'd expect
>>539428776I've never played a WoW-like, only MMORPGs with REAL gameplay like Tabula Rasa
>>539430473I miss TR so much. Such a unique game.I wish I hadn't lost my old HD with all my old screenshots.I miss Concordia, Valverde, even Torden. Fuck Ligo though. And fuck atta hives.
bumpo
Hmm, the Mist in Silksong is interesting in concept, but I have no clue how to get out.I've noticed that walking 5 tiles to the right leads to some sort of checkpoint-like area but after that it seems to loop forever. Walking up it also seems to loop, only other idea I have is walking right, up and then left again
>>539445214Nvm, I think it has nothing to do with the number of tiles.
>>539324943DRG Survivor has just left Early Access
>>539427128Do it, I felt the same, but it was very cathartic. Thunderstorms is the server the old /cox/ threads use. They changed things, all the classes are viable solo, minions aren't useless at high levels and there's all the dlc. Crowd control is blatantly overpowered tho.The endgame content is great, the war against Mott gets legit pretty spooky and you get to beat up npcs who bossed you around before. The "incarnate" endgame progression is really confusing, though.
>>539445983It's the butterflies
>>539446392>>539446523Go back faggot
>>539446626I usually dont post on boards with spoilers enabled, my bad.
>>539446492>old /cox/ threads useOh yeah... that's what they were called...
>>539428776WoW didnt help either with the power scaling going DBZ tier of retarded and nonsensical, kind of strip the worldbuilding of any tengibility when the big bad evil guy of yesteryear end up being weaker than a random boss from the newest instance. I still recall how ridiculous it was that last time I played my solo guy that I hadnt minmax would do hits in the millions.
does park management games go here?i just got into planet coaster and a food stand i try to place refuses to snap at a right angle to the path, always 10-20 degrees off
>>539448250I vaguely remember seeing a planet coaster thread somewhere, maybe /vst/ or something, but I wouldn't mind it here.
>>539445214>>539445983Holy shit, I figured it out. Was starting to wonder if I'm losing my mind for half the time.Not sure if I want to be where it led me desu, I haven't even been to the Cathedral since defeating Widow and there are tons of shit I still need to backtrack for now that I have more movement options
>>539439238I especially miss the pre-1.5 days when TTK was really low. You could wipe out a whole mob with a single rocket, or die in seconds if your positioning was shit. Combat felt more generic MMORPG after they tripled the health of everything.
which indie game has the best music that fits fantasy/medieval battles?
>>539454678Exanina has an amazing soundtrackToo bad game is kinda shithttps://youtu.be/sHu3mn0iRQ4https://youtu.be/n3KPucIXcMw
>>539454913*exanimai feel like a doofus
150 hours in my modded Horizon's Gate playthrough and I'm finally starting to see the bottom of the bottle.(The vanilla game is sub-40 hours)World map 100% explored, most maps found and most quests done aside from repeatable content and Edmina's questline for ports of ill repute. There are still a few repeatables I can't even beat fairly without cheesing on RUIN difficulty.And I somehow still have 4 classes to unlock. I don't even know where to find 3 of them.
>>539456442>150 hours>(The vanilla game is sub-40 hours)The game has that many hours of gameplay?I remember quitting once I manage to build a fleet of big fat cargo ships with ships from the top left island. The combat was something I couldn't really get into.
>>539457294Yeah it has incredible modding scene and mountains of modded content. Many of the mods even fit seamlessly into vanilla lore/worldbuilding and are of similar quality if not better.However, a couple of mods I've got installed just feel like blatant cheat mods with how poorly they are balanced.>The combat was something I couldn't really get into.If you don't like the combat in rad codex games, there's not much point to them I guess.The fleet combat and ship trading systems are quite undercooked, not the meat of the game. But sailing on the overworld is a good and easily expandable setting for an open world game of this style.
Had I known that I could do every ending in dragon's dogma in a single playthrough, I would not have had to go through the entire game 4 times.
>>53936241461 days in and my guy refuses to break through to PS. I'm losing my fucking mind over here.
>>539454678Depends on how indie you consider Warcraft II
What's the point of those late game enemy spawn blockers in Abiotic Factor (radio scrambler, exor fetish, pest scare crow)?They all require some hefty materials like gate defence rune and carbon battery, while the humble crafting bench does the same job with cheaper materials AND blocks all spawns and not just specific ones.
>spend an hour figuring out a game's code so I can manually update a mod that's been broken for a year>mod update released literally ten minutes after I'm done
>>539471978What game and which mod?
>people are leaving negative reviews for Cruelty Squad because the dev made a custom map based on the Kirk's assassinationlol
>>539471978And what did you learn from this?
>>539447020Don't romanticize the past, /coxg/ was mostly whining about rival servers and links to their discord. The bakers are the ones in charge of Thunderspy still, they're pretty chill devs.
>beat Phantom in SilksongDamn, after being stuck for what feels like a week or more in my least favorite areas of the game so far I'm finally making progress again. Entered the Citadel and trying to figure out how to get to the item for the nail upgrade. Good times
>>539482297Remember the delicate flower from Hollow Knight?What if it was on a timer?It's not as bad as the flower run. Only took me 5 tries after some bullshit aerial enemy movement in citadel portion of the run.
>>539478736What a weird choice of game to both own and be triggered by>1hr in Cruelty Squad>135 hours in Blue ArchiveWell that explains everything
>>539482709Controversial opinion, but I actually kinda enjoyed the flower run from HK. Mainly for the aspect of coming up with a good route.Though I am exceptionally shit as Silksong's platforming so that's that.
>>539478736didnt the dev just retweet it?
>>539482297Oh also I absolutely loved the callback to Hollow Knight that the fight was
Neyyah is bumming me out. I really want to love it. Obviously a lot of effort and care went into it. One dev running wild for years with no oversight. Visuals, atmosphere are gorgeous. But it needed harsh feedback so badly. There's so much unbearable babble. And I love information-heavy puzzle/mystery games but the way it's done here is just so poor. Unbearable. You enter a character's room and there are like 5 different journals, each 10 pages long, and they're all worded like "My dear Grigirovich, you will find the secret Mitochondrion #6 hidden in the Pahululu Chamber near the Zatharax Spalood, may the Zanzibart of Myrmidon be with you" and on and on and on. And if you wanna understand all the techno babble, you have to read dozens of dry infodump tabs in a computer but it's such a chore holy shit. That's not how you worldbuild and design a game. It completely destroys pacing.But an even bigger sin is, it seems like you can just ignore most of it and not engage with the lore at all. Because under all the appearance of complexity, it's still very basic, collect random items for your inventory then use them wherever you need to activate a mechanism. I feel a complete disconnect between my progression in the game just wandering around and trying whatever until it works, and whatever clues all the documents are supposed to feed me because I can barely even understand wtf they're describing.
I found a black bronze plaque in a ruin and have enough coal to melt it down. What do I do with 2 free ingots? I already have a suite of tin bronze tools.
>>539493695It has slightly better stats, so probably a falx and a spear
>>539478736>see game with retardedly obvious anti-capital messaging>developer expresses a sentiment common among people who dislike capitalism>ermm, please keep your politics out of my heckin gamerino!>idle in the menu for 10 seconds and refund it i really wish steam would just ban culture war tourists and review bombers
>>539496814I suppose it is ironic if their game isn't free.
>>539498415
>>539498415>yet you participate in society
>>539498415>wow you are against the exploitation and enslavement>CLEARLY YOU ARE AGAINST MONEY AS A WHOLE
>>539499602>don't like capitalism>participate in capitalismYou actually don't actually need to participate in capitalism to participate in society in this particular instance.
>>539502284Devs require food and shelter to continue making art, and the only means to secure them is capital
>>539507359Many artists do not use their art for profit.My point is that it is ironic to use your art to critique capitalism while simultaneously using that art for personal profit.
When people complain about Capitalism they're not complaining about being allowed to open your own store or have a copyright on your shitty indie game characters and make a few hundred thousand on a huge release and letting your retire some day they're complaining about Nintendo patenting common game mechanics and the vast majority of the worlds wealth being owned by a tiny class of unaccountable billionaries btw. It's not that deep or complex and doesn't require ideological rigor to understand.
>>539508732>When people complain about Capitalism they're not complaining about being allowed to open your own store or have a copyright on your shitty indie game charactersThere's an entire ideology that has widespread support with one of its goals being the abolishment of private property.
>>539509004Do you think people who support capitalism refuse to let firefighters save their burning house because they're a public service paid for by involuntary taxes?
>>539507714>capitalism is when you sell things
>>539511131Reminds me of the more recent fires in Cali where a bunch of rich people tried to find private firefighting services to save their mansions because the firefighters were trying to protect as many homes as possible rather than whoever pays up.
>you will never be a fat autist with a beautiful wife who indulges his passions
>>539512107Yeah, I'm a skinny autist
>>539511131I think plenty of people complain about capitalism because they don't want private property to exist.>>539511482Creating a product and using it for personal profit is a large part of capitalism.
>>539508732The problem is thinking its an issue with capitalism itself, which ironically enough was one of the best way to allow interclass transition but old blue blood ruined it via corruption, assets that dwarf anything anyone could realistically obtain using legitimate means (protip; even the richest man on earth worth hundred of billions is worth pennies to these scums) and systematic nepotism. Do mind the same old blue blood are also heavily involved into the claimed ideological opposition to this mentality, by effectively bankrolling them since regardless of what you believe, emone make the world go round. Basically the game is rigged and ''we've" allowed the ones who've been rigging the printing press to run amok. What a time to be alive, innit?
Trobbio!Having a lot more fun in the late game of Silksong, just wish some of these bosses had more health, still carrying around an unused needle upgrade but the basic enemies are getting pretty tough so that might change soon.>>539454678Medieval II phenomenal game with great music. Though the soundtrackmight be a bit too overtly christian if you are looking for something which fits modern high fantasy.https://youtu.be/UY81yYFzgiUhttps://youtu.be/dt0vSdbYxy0https://youtu.be/bA1hZoBLrdY
>>539454678Its more abandonware than indie, but Severance Blade of Darkness had some nice ost, albeit a bit repetitive, but Atmosphere 6 has been living rent free in my head for more than a decade. Great game if you can handle the keyboard tank controls, which in a proto-souls game is kind of shocking given the era it was born into, came out the same year as Deus Ex.
beat radiance on my hk replayhollow knight is such a pushover but moth does got handsnot sure how much completion i really care to go for, i'm pretty sated already
>>539392285Did that much before. It is why I just have multiple storages in the same spot. Also good to move stuff from one storage to another.Although I know some people would wish we can move/carry storage with it's contents in it...
Beat yellow deck on Gold stake
>>539519604There is a mod for that
>>539465551I did at least unlock Wormwrought Valley first try, so that's some progress of the very small variety.(My guy's still on his adventure breakthrough, surely it can't be that much longer. Surely.)
>Silksong>Now DRG Survivor 1.0>Next week Hades 2 1.0What a comfy month it is

>>539531279There's zero reason to reply.
>>539532569I accept your surrender.
First mission, no death.
Finished Lego Voyagers, short game but a fun co-op experience. I wish there were more non-franchise Lego games like this
HOMM2 - good campaignHOMM2 - evil campaignHOMM3 - humans / castle town campaignWhich do I do?
>>539533898HoMM 3.Always.Or HoMM 4, Death campaign. The game is meh but the writing is 10/10. I laughed my ass at the Three Little Pigs map.
>>539496814steam deployed a thing a few years ago to not take into account review bombing in the overall score. Though I don't know if steam as to detect it themself or if the dev have to mention it to them
>>539534214I want a setting IRL that makes it so that french people are not taken into account, in general.
>>539534214It's automated but nothing sophisticated. They just don't count sudden mass review spikes towards the average score. And probably something else behind the scenes, like flagging the suspicious activity for human review.
>>539534613Got cucked by one? That's why you're so angry and throwing tantrums?
>>539478736>people are leaving negative reviews for Cruelty Squad because the dev made a custom map based on the Kirk's assassinationHe didn't make the map, wget did. The dev simply retweeted it. But wget's reaction is absolute gold. The map trailer has a donation link to... Turning point USA, Kirk's organization/think tank.> Please consider making a small donation to help cover the cost of Mr Charlie's funeral expenses and ease his family's burden during this difficult time. In the youtube donation link's description.>ORDER NOW!!! official cruelty squad and psycho patrol r merch is back with 3 new items:>https://ikono.fi/collections/cruelty-squad>100% of proceeds is generously donated to charlie's funeral expenses as a token of solidarity, RIP>also, as a Free Speech Absolutist, i've been trying to get youtube to stop removing your amazing comments, please keep them coming>(it still keeps removing many comments even when i manually approve them and have the auto-moderation turned off)>however, please refrain from politicising this tragedy, thoughts and prayers are most encouragedIn the pinned comment.Ultimate centrist/libertarian behavior. That's unironically hilarious.
>>539496814>Can you guys pretend I wrote something about Charlie kirk and give me clown awards? I'm trying to farm steam points thanks.Greatest negative review I've read.
>>539535272Jesus christ, these morons are so desperate to be oppressed that they invent oppression where there's nothing.
>>539535472Typical republicans really...
>>539535272I'm of the opinion that if you make fun of a tragedy/person but donate money to them it's 100% morally justifiable and you can't really shit on them for it.Also to keep this thread more on topic I've been enjoying going back and playing those "funny internet games that actually became real games" recently like Hand of Doom, Inscryption, and Anger Foot. Though I think something is lost when you take them out of their original context; something about a tiny itch.io game is lost when you expand the scope and try to make it a "real" game.
>>539537330I personally don't agree. I think it's in poor taste but poor taste is not a crime and adding a donation link (even if ironic) is pretty funny.
>>539534214I hate how it flags situations unlike this, where the developer has actually done something to fuck up their game. We're not review-bombing your game because of your politics, but because you made it SHIT
>>539537330Recreating a political assassination as a video game level probably doesn't make it feel like much less of an insult just because you donated to the victims.
>>539539913it's an insult but it made me laugh so i don't care
>>539539913Right, that's why nobody ever recreates battlefields where thousands of soldiers perished.
>>539512107I meant eh vibe I was getting is that she is a little annoyed at him constantly being out cartographing
>abloobloo you cant make political ass ass i nation games its insultingYou don't even exist. You are just a meta-ironic fake faggot pretending to be deeply offended by random shit that's none of your business. You're probably thinking your pretend-retard act is fucking hilarious. It's not. The joke was already stale when it was born out of gamergate 10 years ago. Go play in the traffic.

>>539564045I have some neurological conditions that make it impossible for me to write properly, since my signature always come out looking completely impossible to read, I just don't bother and draw something that somewhat looks like my name.

>>539569709it's called lack of practicehandwriting is a relatively quite a difficult skill, and if you haven't practiced it since early childhood for years - it will never look natural without constant trainingi am 24 and i write daily because signing and filling documents is a part of my job, and it looked goddamn awful for the first year or so until i finally got it in order
Tried the demo for Million Depth. The inconsistent pixel count and awkward controls are annoying, but it has some interesting ideas and nice music. I appreciate that the roguelike formula is a separate mode instead of being the only way to play the game
>>539570180It depends on the country, in mine, signatures have no value whatsoever if not done in front of a lawyer or other equivalent. It's basically just to prove you were physically present at a time and place.>>539570295It's not lack of practice. I couldn't write as a child either and I can barely walk without a cane due to poor balance.

>>539575114Oh the irony.
>>539496814Dev literally told everyone to pirate their game instead of buying it because fuck spending money on games, the entire game is a shitpost.
>>539576602I'll never understand it. Anyone who isn't currently or about to own a company should be left leaning economically.The biggest victory by the right is duping a bunch of gullible people into thinking the main left vs right issues are fake culture war bullshit
>>539576602Why are americans like this?From an outside POV it looks like their brains are still running on generations old anti-soviet propaganda but they are utterly childlike and incapable of comprehending any nuance.
>>539511131Ayn Rand spent her entire life paying taxes which she was against and wanted to abolish. It was not hypocritical of her to use her rights to get state sponsored medical assistance later in life as she had spent her entire life to finance this institution. If she hadn't, she would have been able to afford private medical assistance instead. That was her logic.It's basically the same thing here. Read Atlas Shrugged. Read it. Read John Galt's several hours long speech on Objectivism. READ IT! READ IT! READ IT! READ IT!!!!!!!!

>>539255430>>539413985So is it possible to actually have a good result or is it the standard everything is horrible and how dare you try to change that messaging?I'm still interested in the game mind you, I just want to know what to expect going in.
>>539413985>>539580427What game?
>>539580427I don't know if any of the endings are supposed to be good, but some are certainly much less bad than others. Maybe there are some good endings... I haven't seen them all. There are a lot of time periods where I can't quite figure out how to bring about change, but the game does indicate that something there can be changed.The best ending I've found so far is a hyper-capitalist dystopia, except one of the kids effectively sacrifices themselves to spend their life building a global empire that (You) can inherit. Humanity survives with technology, industry and populated cities, and (You) wouldn't be too evil in charge, right?My least favorite ending has been Flower of Death because it makes zero sense why things would happen that way.>>539580834https://store.steampowered.com/app/3272360/Decade/

>>539585669good one
>>539578943>>539580094my poor third world country is the same thing, don't know if its too much american culture kool aid, I just assume people are dumb as bricks and the whole world is like that and it was always like that, its not an american thing only. People have literal cultist and npc mentality where they defend labels and idols and do not debate ideas and laws, ALL sides of political spectrum throws soviet era propaganda logic to cancel people instead of debating. I notice that people don't want to think in any other way, they WANT a black and white fantasy with simple solutions and a us vs them logic.
>>539586286to keep on topic, this discussion reminds me that Recettear HD is not yet out
>>539579732I'm honestly having a hard time believing this is true for the majority of people. I genuinely think that they just have been tricked into thinking that the reason they have it hard is the gays, the immigrants, the jews and whoever else and any policy with the word "social" in it is a direct straight line to turn your country into the USSR or Venezuela>>539520448Why does it always have to be black or white? It's possible to introduce some regulations without turning into the Soviet Union, you know?>>539586286I don't think a video game forum is the best place to discuss this in depth, but my two cents are that this is a global cultural trend, unfortunately. I'm no political philosopher but my guess would be it's related to social media and the internet.I mean hell, we perceive politics as this half real thing as if we're watching a movie or something. Half the people you see being hateful or calling for violence would probably never have gotten to that point if they couldn't do it from behind the safety of their screen, where they don't have to acknowledge their political opponents are real people on the other side.

>>539587758>Why does it always have to be black or white? It's possible to introduce some regulations without turning into the Soviet Union, you know?Because nuance is completely impossible when your only vehicle is a near mindless mass of people that you're certainly not in control of and every part of has a very slightly idea of how they think things should go. About the best you can hope for is to shove the pendulum and hope you gave it just about the right amount of momentum.
Indie games?
>>539591770I'm playing Silksong and I hate it
>>539591770I played Silksong and I loved it
>>539592087Why though? It's great.
>>539592297I just killed the fire tree cunt and he was very annoying
>>539591770Laika is pretty cool. Buddy hated the Elastomania controls (and deaths) but I'm fine with those. The first boss wore me out a little though, gonna try again tomorrow.
I've been trying for hours, shit game, fuck this rng bullshit, i need to stack shields and poison but i never get enough of it
>>539594993cool game, the one hit kills got old really fast tho. especially since they felt like having you drop your currency too. not every games needs to have corpse runs.
>>539596034Yeah, especially since it's easy to lose track of which way your character is turned. Especially when the camera zooms out
Reinstalled Potionomics after all these years.I never actually beat the game in the first time, dropped just short of the last contest. Curious how I never saw anyone here ever mentioning playing it, its a decent Recettear like game, albeit it leaves a little to be desired in some areas.
Wow
>>539574902>someone saved my shit picture I made years agoI am emotive.Also you remind me, I have something about a Ruby Cascade to finish.

I want to play some cool weird games. Any obscure titles that you could recommend games?
>>539508732>When people complain about Capitalism they're not complaining about being allowed to open your own store or have a copyright on your shitty indie game characters and make a few hundred thousand on a huge release and letting your retire some day they're complaining about Nintendo patenting common game mechanics and the vast majority of the worlds wealth being owned by a tiny class of unaccountable billionaries btw.Which means they don't understand what Capitalism is.Capitalism is when government doesn't do stuff.Companies using government to fuck you over is clearly government doing stuff.That's pretty much all there is to it.
Cultic chapter two is pretty neat, while at first I was kind of salty that I had to buy it even if I was an early supporter of the game, ill admit in retrospective that its completely worth the price. I take my time playing the maps without going full autist trying to find all the secrets and it take between 40 min to an hour per map.
>>539590578Kind of sad innit? I miss old /pol/, now its just shills spam 24/7, ie when kirk got shot within the same week as that poor ukie girl getting stabbbed in the throat by a dindu, there were like 40 threads of the exact same subject and it was all crass and effortless ragebait, with provocateur trying to start flamewars at every opportunity. And if you dare make a thread that isnt blatantly shit, you get put on autosage, its so ridiculous. 95 to 99% of the board is literally shills and bots at this point.
what are some fun schizocore games?
>>539606872It's still on my wishlist, I wasn't willing to pay that much money for a game with that art style.

I just realized that dragon's dogma's story is eerily to rogue legacy's story. Except that rogue legacy's storytelling and writing is actually somewhat good. Guess the Lee brothers took some inspirations.

>>539640074>Looks like pornographyYou people really do keep insisting upon yourselves...
>>539640017If a game has an art style I dislike a bit, I am less enthusiastic to play it.If I'm less enthusiastic about a game, I'm less willing to pay money for it and perfectly okay with waiting years for a good discount, if I buy it at all.Are there any other incredibly basic things that a six year old could figure out on their own that you would like me to carefully explain to you?

>>539650945>>539652493Things are heating up in the indie games fandom
>>539652493Dumb anon, you replied to my post that had the answer in it. I know your intelligence is sorely lacking, but perhaps you should try to get a clue?
>>539653121>namecallingYawn. One more point for me.
I prefer the kind of shitposters that at least discuss something
>>539640074>like i have to min max everything even since the tutorialFirst time I played I felt like that and by the fourth week I already had so much fucking money, I could probably stop working for the rest of the game and still secure a win, I didn't even use all the game mechanics regularly, like buying the marketing campaigns, didn't had an op deck or anything like that.My only issue with the game is that making potions become increasingly more tiresome, especially if you are capitalistmaxxing, and the game lacks QoL features to ease the burden on the player. The devs didn't think that through.
>>539653456miss the political discussion already?

Mongol 2. :D soon....
Playing this new Aniplex-published original game. Some nice pixel art and music, but the asking price is way too steep for how mediocre and lazy the gameplay and level design is. Combat feels terrible, and the stages are nearly all filler, copypasted layouts, assets, etc. where you just fight the same enemies in the same boring ways for 8-10 minutes straight.
