Selaco is good.
>old OP pastebin is deadso you guys just copy the OP from the previous thread now?I haven't made a new thread in quite a while, seems like it would be quite vulnerable to vandalism, no?
>>550061691most generals just copy previous/current thread OPyes its very easy to vandalize, especially generals like ours with big blocks of text that no one reads every thread
To the anon who was interested in giving the ACS mod a try: did you come back from holiday yet?
Downloading this now.What am I in for?
>first code lock innagame>try 0451>it worksThat's how you know the dev is a gentleman and a scholar.
>>550065295I have a padlock with 0451 as the combination.I really hope that whoever figures it respects me for that and doesn't break into my shit
So did Book of Hours only get the one DLC and that's it?I don't mind, was just curious since CultSim had 3 and the wording of the perpetual edition made it sounds like there would be multiple. But I assume they're fully focusing on Traveling at Night now
Rec me a free game that doesn't suck
>>550068374All games are free!But frankly they all suck
>>550068374
>>550068374.forty-fiveSheepy: A short adventureEntropy Zero 2BABBDINightmare KartGrimhookFALLSTRUKTURThe Wind and The WispThose are the ones I can remember of and cant be bothered to check steam free games for more I might have forgotten. Everything in that last id recommend in good faith, and beside they cost fuckall so no buyer remorse.
>>550068374Stalker Anomaly and its various offshoots can be fun if you're into that type of game.Plenty of customization options too, if there is something particular you don't like. Unfortunately a few of my gripes with the game are baked into the core of the mod
...excuse me?

...a magical realm.
God damn hard mode kicks my ass. 10 minutes of slugging though asshole spawns, rooms full of corner-peeking machinegunners, and zombies sneaking up behind me, just to get to the end. And after that I have to go all the way back to the start with infinitely-respawning timesplitters popping up all around me. With only 3 50% health pickups throughout the entire level. Shit's brutal.
>>550084726You suuuuck.
>>550061496was going to post this in a trash hollow knight thread, but it seems that most of the discussion around the game here on 4chan has finally completely died down.May as well post it here, in case anyone wants to see the porn I drew.https://files.catbox.moe/9rfuwg.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/yeoegz.png (edit an anon requested)https://files.catbox.moe/suck5j.pnghttps://files.catbox.moe/vgprfk.png
>>550068374Where Winds Meet.
>>550061496gaimu?>>550078583this. the races kinda suck (just humans with extra parts and ugly), and gameplay is quite boring and repetitive, although exploration is fun. i just ended up getting an autoaim gun halfway through the story and using it until the end so i simply wouldn't have to bother with combat.

>>550068374Cataclysm: Bright Nights.
Ah, Earth Dancer! Your dance has brought me joy and happiness. In gratitude, allow me to bestow upon you this recipe.
>>550067213It seems that way. Maybe they thought about adding more but got caught up in Traveling at Night. I saw Corso Reverte is returning from BoH. He's definitely a reference to The Club Dumas (it's the last name of the main character plus the last name of the author) which is a pretty entertaining book (I coincidentally read it a little bit before playing BoH) about secret societies and Satanism and book heists, which more or less explains why Secret Histories is referencing it.

I came to the realization that indie games fall into 4 categories >eternal early access >rushed 1.0 out of early access after years of being stuck in there but actually it is still early access>no early access, released right into proper 1.0 release but actually it's just early access anyway>actually proper 1.0and those in the 4th category are rareit all just sucks
>>550099619Hey you can't forget the old >clearly an unfinished 1.0 that may as well be early access but never gets updated again like thatI don't mind early access for small indie teams. When it's just some guy in his basement developing the game is the type of situation I consider early access justifiable, even if I'll usually wait until the game seems to be in a relatively complete state before playing it myself.
>>550099619You forgot>release as 1.0 but with little content and over the years they add features until it feels feature completeLooking at you Icarus and The Riftbreaker.
Woke up earlier due to hiccups when I went to drink some water, so I decide to play more KCD1.I finish the Sir Hans Capon adventure, I thought it was the DLC but it was just one quest to amuse, and deepen the relationship between Sir Capon and Henry.Got into a fist fight but Henry's 17 Strenght point totally annihilated the peasant. Now time to find more adventures.
>>550099619That's the thing I miss from the 90s/early 00s game industry compared to indies nowadays.They HAD to deliver games. They HAD to finish shit.None of this always-connected updates-constantly-fucking-things-up SaaS bullshit.
Now, this will be a hard mission with only easy lockpicking skill.
>>550072631You get more letters.
>>550108526>liber de mortisNO.DON'T READ IT.
>>550109554It's just a book. How dangerous could it be?
>>550108526<Supposed to be regular guy sim>heres your legendary book brounironically cringe, hate how much of writing is just references
>>550109973><Supposed to be regular guy simThe harder a game claims this, the less likely it is to be trueSee also: Kenshi

>>550110473Rude.
>>550109597I dunno, you tell me.
>>550110473frI got meme'd into trying Kenshi and it was awful lolRuns like absolute dog shit apparently the unironic reason being the dev is just bad at coding lolLargely empty world, with enemies just being balls of statsYou, yourself, are a ball of stat, and as soon as I was quicker than the enemeis nothing posed any threat and the only reason I'd lose would be if I wanted toStarted building some shit then thinked "wow this is slow and boring and totally pointless wehen I can always just run to a town that does everything my town would do + has guards that kill all enemies for me"Seemed like one of those "take screenshots of objectively very simple situations you've seen 2 million times before and try to act like its interesting"games, like RimWorld, Noita, Matchless, CDDA, Zomboid
>>550110887>Largely empty worldDunno what game you played, my own was full of assholes.
>>550110887well hate to break it to you but you're a retarded noobi remember seeing you post something similarly inane the last time kenshi popped up here
>>550110975The one called KenshiBalls of stats, rocks, functionally identical cities.Empty otherwise.>90% of the land is empty
I wanted to download some mods for Nuclear Throne because I saw a lot of very cool ones. But it looks like unfortunately almost every single mod relies on a mod called "Nuclear Throne Together" which hasn't been updated to the newest version of the game yet, and the mod developer is blaming Russia for why he wont updated the mod to the newest version.....just fucking lol....
>>550111840Don't worry, he'll also do everything he can to keep anyone else from updating it too if he's like most modder schizos.
>>550112003It's just so retarded>in the past week Russia has renewed interest in destroying energy infrastructure in my regionOkay....so you're saying the reason why you're not working on the mod is not because anything actually happened, it's because Russia has "interest" whatever the fuck that even means in destroying energy infrastructure in your region. Yeah, okay dude lol.
>>550112213he means that he's not gonna have lights because of bombings you retard
>>550112213Nigger, I have an ukranian friend and he gets like 2 hours of electricity every day.I swear every day the IQ of this board decreases.
>>550110887I've seen better bait but I've also seen worse.

How does crafting work again?The crafting station determines which cards I'm allowed to use, the skill I use limits which items I'll get as a result and the magnitude of the relevant aspect determines which of those I finally get, right?
>>550112213Might be hard to make games without electricity.But I'm sure you'd just write bytes to a hard disk with a magnetized needle.
>>550111840the only good NT mod is Ultra and it doesn't require togetherIts less known because plebs only use together mods, but its by far the highest effort mod
>>550111840>>550112213I can't tell if you are out of touch and ignorant or I just live in a bubble.You are aware that said "renewed interest" translates to a lack of electricity and rationing during the winter? On some days they only get a few hours even in big cities
>Pigtroons really having a meltie before 100 posts
>>550113681>>550113263
>>550113671I might try it, I just unlocked the final two characters, but i'm not really sure why I should keep playing the game? I guess maybe to try and do a melee only run.
Also as much as I like the card based approach to story generation it's a little funny sometimes. Like how the best time to explore the gardens is during rain because it gives you free Nectar. Though sometimes it also works nicely, like how sunny weather is best for looking through the telescope
>>550112591B-But no way russia would bully civilians!!!
>>550114386Yeah i'm gonna call it there for Nuclear Throne, was fun but, no the rest of the unlocks just seem arbitrary and artificial to extend playtime. Time to move on to another game.
This dude tried to fight Henry in full plate armor. I lol'ed

>Indiecan I ask a bloons question here?Are necromancers broken on the mobile version, they dont seem to make undead bloons
>>550115789You may, but no guarantees we'll answer. I don't even know what bloon is.
>>550115789This thread is the graveyard for gamers who don't have their own general, you can ask whatever you want about whatever game that doesn't have a general, but yeah as >>550115912 pointed out some people may not know or care, most people here play completely different things. I've never played bloons in my life either, but I have seen gameplay of it, and I do know what it is. Tower Defense just doesn't interest me.
>>550115789There is a moblie games board. Maybe they're better equipped for this than we are. Or did you try them first and got nothing?
>>550115789I remember a year or two ago someone wanted to force a meme where he posted some unfunny bloons related gif as the first post each thread. He might still be around>>550115659I'm honestly a little upset there is no way to save the guy here. It was very clear to me that something was up but I couldn't really act on it.Also it felt very wrong to just leave the corpse behind. I tried carrying it over the the infirmary at least, for my headcanon roleplay but unfortunately that got me in trouble with the guards
>>550044351boy, these things sure do live rent free in your head considering how much you post about themno judgement because i might be contributing to that mod pile soon lol
