>>551370550I guess it's like so many internet word, that get overused by people especially people that aren't part of the sub-community where the word originated and as a result get watered down and lose all meaning.
>>551370974Yes. The commentary is that if I have to keep making the threads, I'm going to shit over your traditions because you clearly are all dead and I'm not going to let dead cunts pressure me into doing what they want.
>>551371107Nah, even in the ds community, back in the day, it was used against everything they disliked.
>>551372421My memory is a bit spotty and to be fair I think I've only played Dark Souls like 3-4 years after it came out

Ah, Earth Dancer! Your dance has brought me joy and happiness. In gratitude, allow me to bestow upon you this recipe.
You know what I love about BoH? How slow you can take it if you want to. In Cultist Simulator you constantly had ticking timers breathing down your neck which was totally fine for the type of game that wanted to be but here you can just chill out. For instance I got totally overwhelmed by my vast collection of books, both read and unread. So today I took a break, barely read anything and mostly focused on putting all my Lessons to good use.And incidentally I got over a room unlocking plateau after breaking through to a serious of Lantern rooms which are perfect for my Twice-BornThis is the furthest I've ever gotten in the game, so I'm quite confident that this run might finally be the oneAlso what the hell? I'm 100% I should have encountered my first Numa by now and it still isn't showing up. I was panicking about not being able to upgrade my skills in time and everything.
>>551376502>I'm 100% I should have encountered my first Numa by nowit'll happen at a random point in a nine season blocks, so it's possible you wouldn't see one until year three
>>551376982Yeah, I was just pretty sure that that screenshot was taken at the end of the 2nd year (8th season)of this playthrough but after that I got a regular spring. But maybe I just lost count, to be honest I also can't recall in which season the game starts.
>>551371135What a psychopathic world view.
>>551380051DO I SMELL SOILED DIAPER??
>>551371135Geez, gimme a break chief. I made the last two threads and wasn't here for the last on to die.Also >>551380051

Remember when big studios tried to sell translations and dubs as paid dlcs and somehow a ton of people tried to defend that? "But dubs and translations are not free!! Big studios must pay the translators and voice actors!!". Yeah, that's called an investment you fucking retard. Not everyone speaks your fucking language.I'm glad that specific anti-consumer practice died as quickly as it was attempted.
Merry christmas lads. One of my online buddies surprised me with the bannerlord DLC so I've been starting that one up. Ships are way too expensive to be an early game thing but I'm still finding it funny they have actual stealth mechanics for raids now
>>551376502It really does have a cozy librarian feel to it once it gets going. It also discourages grinding with how little space you actually have available (although I guess you could just say 'fuck it' and let it all litter the ground)On my current playthrough I have gotten a Numa on my first year, which helped me jumpstart my bookreading - and ruin my soul.I need to find a way to get some nectar skills now...
>>551370836Merry Christmas /indie/!>>551399230Merry Christmas to you as well!
>>551371135I wish you a lump of coal.
>>551371135MERRY CHRISTMAS OP!!!!
>>551381514Someone's being a Grinch this year...
Do the items on display depend on the trader's inventory? Because I sold him a shit ton of marigold decoctions the previous day.
>>551381514>inspect elementholy newfaganyways, at least I'm not the person devastated by the fact that more than one stranger o the internet would disagree with me at the same time
Might've just had my worst Noita moment so far
>>551402625fuck
>>551399316>It really does have a cozy librarian feel to it once it gets goingI also love how nice it feels when you start to find your way around the house better which also makes it more discouraging to get back in after a long break. Like when I need a tool with a certain aspect, by now I know where to get one. For instance yesterday I was missing 1 Moth for a book and I didn't know if I had a Moth tool, but I knew that if I do, it'd very likely be in the Long Tower, and guess what I found.Also I like how both this and Cultist Simulator does storytelling/worldbuilding. There is still a lot of shit I don't (and maybe won't ever) understand and I'll have to either read up online or let it remain a mystery. But it just has a way of repeating certain things that seem important over an over again mostly in books and room/item descriptions. So sooner or later you start to recognize names and events you've heard of before and might catch on what seems to be important.For instance Natan the Physician from Regensburg came up a lot yesterday and I wouldn't be surprised if his importance in the grand scheme of things is minor, but I do still feel like I have a slightly better understanding of who he was now>I need to find a way to get some nectar skills now...I see that's a universal experience. I guess it makes sense, since you only get 1 from health at the start.
>>551402084Do you ask questions just to make noise in the emptiness or are you Fritz?
>>551402780What's ezgif and how are you making your gifs? I have such a hard time getting the videos I take down to 4mb to post on here.
>>551399316>>551402949Oh and also I've started to catch on to the fact that some of the books have gameplay hints like they did in Cultist Simulator too. A recent book I've read talked about a crafting recipe similar to how Lore Fragments gave you instructions how to summon certain entities.Also funny how the CS books have the exact same text as they did in that game, so occasionally I read something and realize it's a hint for CultSim
>>551370836Cult of the Lamb belong here? Any of you looking forward to the expansion? I actually haven't finished the base game. Anyone else feel that crusades feel a little samey after a while? Or have I just not gotten far enough?
>>551399230are you gonna suck his dick or what?
>>551403802 (Me)I only made it to the second bishop in the past, and things did seem like they were starting to get somewhat interesting by then? Probably a me problem.
>>551403802>Cult of the Lamb belong here?If you can't find a general for it, then yes.If you can find a general for it, but it's full of faggots that doesn't let you have a discussion about it, then also yes.
Getting the hang of this game after a while, found some good nimble combos to look up to while raiding camps and getting money from selling shit.Early game was easy to understand but once you get raider gear I felt stumped for a while in what to buy on what bro.Turns out its a simple "B.F" or "Nimble" perk choice to decide that, hell, even dedicated shieldbros can be given heavy armor since they have to tank a lot.I like how this game forces you to do your research, even if it has made me bump my fist agaisnt my table
>>551403252On my first playthrough the game did not have the hints for what skills belonged to what book, nor did it have the crafting interface at all.So your only way to work out how to craft items and what skills you could expect from a book were those little hints.It was very immersive but also... you HAD to make notes or go mad.Now the game is pretty user friendly, the one thing missing is it auto logging the kind of memory you get from a specific book somewhere.Also the one thing I still don't like is the excessive amount of skills available, they feel very unnecessary and don't add anything.
>>551404531Are you using the legends mod?I think at this point it is just a better game with it, though it does give a lot of extra complexity. A lot more cool combos as well though.
>>551405053I'm using vanilla, legends looks interesting but I play the game for the atmosphere too, and I don't really feel that in legends. Sometimes less is more I guess
>>551404898I think the lesson hints are a nice to have, but the game felt quite playable without them. Even made it feel more rewarding to finally find out what it was. But the crafting thing is definitely a life saver.I will always defend a dev's right to keep the vision of their game they had intact even if I might not like it but I'm glad weather factory is willing to add some QoL like this when, presumably, some parts of the game are too challenging in a tedious and unintended way.>the one thing missing is it auto logging the kind of memory you get from a specific book somewhereYeah that's pretty much the only thing I have m notebook on my desk for at the moment. Aside from noting down the names of previous librarians. Though I think I do want to also note down some crafting pathways I find that are accessible to be. Because I know I made some Xanthotic Essence and turned it into ink a week or so ago, but I didn't write it down and can't for the life of me remember what I used to make it.
bumping
>>551405456I will probably end up opening up my old google sheet if I continue my current playthrough. Mostly interested in the DLC content now as I already had a satisfying victory with the whole house explored before.
>>551407340I'm assuming most of the DLC is late game. So far I'm just happy about the fact that you can satisfy a visitor's request and then invite them back at any time to learn a language.Though I did unlock the kitchen a while a go so maybe I should get to cooking and have some people over for dinner
>>551381514You won, the samefag got really angry.
>>551404531Glad to see this game still getting some love; BB is one of the all-time greats for squad based tactics imo.It's also one of very few games where I think you're really not subtracting from the experience at all by cheating and/or savescumming while you're still learning how things work. Shit's hard. I got filtered the first several times I tried to get into it before going on to put ~600 hours into the game.
>Discuss game with my brother in law at the christmas gathering>He instantly jumps to talking about conspiracies and how the jews stole the game awards from kingdom comes II>He then goes into a rant about how "blue hair whores" (blue prince?) tried to steal the awards from clair obscur because it's a "white man game">I just replied "I really don't care" and left the table to go talk with my distant cousins>Cousins are a lot more chill so I spent the rest of the evening with them and we exchanged our contact informationOverall pretty good christmas this year.
>>551415676Your brother in law seems based can we trade?
>>551415840Sure. Take him. For free even.
>>551416073Nice, only problem is that he needs to learn that award shows are gay and its just an excuse for the people he complains about to jerk off about being in the industry, once they are starved out video games will be better again.
>>551415676>"blue hair whores" (blue prince?)I think your brother-in-law was referring to the "blue-haired (or some other color) feminist/liberal/progressive" stereotype.
>>551413581I like the how it feels to progress in the game, winning battles and leveling up isn't everything, you also need to manage your resources and invest into what your team needs. You see your bros land better hits and looking less like bums and more like proper fighters, shits cash.There's so much gambling in the game you begin to learn what your limits are from all the dead bros you got, sometimes cannon fodder has to go.Right now I'm trying to learn how to tackle undead fights, I'm in the weird spot where I know the strategies and the requirements, yet when I'm going out with my bros at around day 20 or 30 with raider gear and bannerman, they absolutely flop by gheists or simple stamina checks, so I'm either too low level or I need to upgrade my gear better
>>551416167nta but he is after one of the producers or devs on E33 said that they used AI for placeholder and prototyping meshes and textures everyone said that they lied about using AI to make a game. I'm not sure how they rules are written but it seems like it maybe have been vague and either the E33 team is bad at reading English or they assumed they qualified since they only used AI in the prototyping stage.I don't know, generally when something like this comes up in reward shows what happens is that they just disqualify the award but let the team keep it and bar them from future awards. I think it rankled a lot of people that not only did they "take back" the award, but they re-awarded it to another game, which is generally not something you do and is seen as really bad form.I don't know, I don't have brainrot.
>>551415676>caring about the game awardsYour brother in law is terminally retarded.
>>551416154>>551416591Yeah, why do you think I've left my family table to go see a part of my family I barely know?>>551416167He also had a hate boner for blue prince for some reason so I honestly can't tell if he was referring to the bp devs or online liberals.>>551416396He claims that clair obscur never used ai and that it was just an excuse to exclude them because they're white
>>551416396>used AI for like 10% of the game, and exclusively as placeholder until real art was ready>"WAAAAGH THE ENTIRE GAME WAS MADE WITH AI WAAAA WAAAA AAAAALL OF IT EVEN THE MUSIC AND THE DEVS WERE AI"
>>551417142>He claims that clair obscur never used ai and that it was just an excuse to exclude them because they're whiteNo they used AI for placeholders, they admitted as much, but there are twitter retards who said that it shouldn't have won because it was a "White Person Game" which is just as retarded.
>>551417220Generally when I meet people like this I just say "We need more AI games then if that was made by AI" and watch them fall apart at the seems about it and move on.
>>551417352I love the irony that they call it a white person game but its completely lost on them that if white people didn't make games the majority of video game characters would be white or asian.
>>551417142>Yeah, why do you think I've left my family table to go see a part of my family I barely know?He reminds me of pic-related.>>551417553>but its completely lost on them that if white people didn't make games the majority of video game characters would be white or asian.Reminder that manga/anime characters look like white people, unless they draw a chinese, then it is when they look asian.
>>551417656>Reminder that manga/anime characters look like white peopleYou mean they look like Mickey Mouse because that was the original cartoon that the Japanese were exposed too and now all Japanese people basically demand that cartoons look that way now.
>>551417471What cracks me up is that people keep shoutign that France is no longer white, but suddenly when it makes a good game, it's back on the KKK index.
Happy Christmas /indie/

>>551417352To be completely honest, I really don't care about some french game and some retarded online """"awards""". It's a several hours of ads for shitty games. It's basically a modified version of E3 and consumes all conversations for a few days.>>551417656It's not exactly politics, it's just insane rambling over something that really doesn't matter. Who cares about online awards? All these games sold a billion copies already.Honestly, other than terraria. I can't even name a single game that received an online award. And the only reason I remember terraria's award is because the devs released a major update to celebrate.
>>551404531Is this game like the Black Company?
>>551418356>To be completely honest, I really don't care about some french game and some retarded online """"awards""". It's a several hours of ads for shitty games. It's basically a modified version of E3 and consumes all conversations for a few days.I agree but it is something to talk about, I'm not the type of person to get upset over this if you disagree. I think people these days are just looking for things to mald about and I don't get it. Doritos Pope was never a serious person
>>551417993I plan to play the first Fear & Hunger, though I've been completely spoiled over the years by YouTube videos, streams, the wiki, and tvtropes since I never thought I'd actually play it before changing my mind recently.
>>551418287Didn't know about that, I'll give it a check>>551418368Ever read The Blade itself or Between two fires? The atmosphere is just that, sometimes you fight for Lords in noble wars, sometimes you are invaded by orcs and goblins, sometimes its the undead wanting to rape you. You will get filtered but that's the type of experience that everyone goes through with this game
>>551418665I always love how Geoff gushes about how Kojima is his best friend and they are going to be married with three kids and Geoff will be in the next game and Kojima is always sitting there with a really uncomfortable smile on his face, too polite to tell him even in private to stop.
>>551417656>Reminder that manga/anime characters look like white people, unless they draw a chinese, then it is when they look asian.Yeah it's funny. Japanese self-identify as white really hard and absolutely lose their shit when something reminds them of the fact that genetically they are slant-eyed asians.
>>551415676Lucky you, my family couldn't stop ranting about AI and saying "No you're wrong" every time I corrected their claims.I have a phd in computer science and work for a big AI company.
>>551418831I didn't realize white people have pink, blue, and green hair naturally.
>>551418903>I have a phd in computer science and work for a big AI company.See, you've been replaced by an AI clone of yourself to defend AI! Of course you're wrong!
>>551415676Kek that's cringe on so many levels.I've always been a little sad that I have no extended family to speak of (just parents, grandparents and two siblings pretty much), but stories like these make me remember that maybe it's not all fun and games>>551416396>I don't know, I don't have brainrot.very refreshing in this day and agelooking at all of this from the outside I'm glad it just passes my by mostly. I don't really care who wins what and the game is still in my backlog so I don't have strong feelings about it>>551417843That's a pattern I've seen someone point out with people crying about "woke" games. It's only bad games that are every woke, because then you can kick down and say it sold poorly because it has a gay character or something.But if a game is called woke before release but then sells well, they usually stop talking about it, because that ruins the narrative of go woke go broke. I believe Space Marine 2 went through that (allegedly woke because it had a black or female character in a trailer or something)>>551418665>I think people these days are just looking for things to mald aboutyou hit the nail on the head. It used to be console wars, now it's the jews ruining video games to keep the white man down or something
>>551418692>Ever read The Blade itself or Between two firesNever. Closest I read was the Farseer trilogy, I think, and it had a lot of magic.And also the main character is a bastard, so he's still above the lowlifes that you'd find in a merc company.Thanks for the rec, though, I can use more books at work, and House of Leaves is a bit too much.
>>551419154>I believe Space Marine 2 went through that (allegedly woke because it had a black or female character in a trailer or something)The black... You mean the Salamanders? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE SALAMANDERS?!
>>551419302I dunno man, I'm not into Warhammer. But then again, neither are the people calling games woke, most likely, they just wanna complain
>>551419154>I believe Space Marine 2 went through that (allegedly woke because it had a black or female character in a trailer or something)There are African humans in 40k and there are also Black Space Marines but they still have European features. The issue is taking specific chapters that HAVE A SPECIFIC LINEAGE AND LOOK A SPECIFIC WAY and then saying "Lol he is black and has a samurai sword, and he is also a woman" when that makes literally no sense for a Nordic Space Marine chapter to have.If the lore doesn't matter then just make your own shit.
>>551419216Yeah, BB doesn't have much magic, if you want to kill something you will use your bare hands to do it. There are a lot of supernatural enemies though.You can hire bastards, nobles and even knights, there's even an event where an assasin is sent to kill your bastard bro and you are given the chance to hire them (lol)Hope you like the books
>>551419403People like you have that opinion until Martin Luther King JR. is suddenly played by an Asian man and then its the end of the world.
>>551419437To be fair Ultramar takes their Space Marines from the general population so at least its more believable there may be a black man in the legion than say the Space Wolves.
>>551419632>Martin Luther King JR. is suddenly played by an Asian manNTA, but that does sound like a funny concept that could be interesting, in a Hamilton-esque way. (I have no deep knowledge of Hamilton)
>>551419903Okay well as long as it cuts both ways
>>551419608>if you want to kill something you will use your bare hands to do itOh shit there's wrestling?!?>There are a lot of supernatural enemies though.OH SHIT YOU CAN SUPLEX NECROMANCERS?>Hope you like the booksCan you please give me the accurate titles? Is it "The Blade Itself" or The Blade?
>>551419632Apples to oranges mate.Plus it depends on the context, if it's something like >>551419903 it might be interesting, depending on how it's done. Also that's taking about a real person person alive in living memory (not to mention whose ethnicity was central to the historical events that made them important). And same goes for any historical person.
>>551420496Again>If the lore doesn't matter then just make your own shit.
My good lord, Henry is such an awkward dork. It's adorable!>>551420385>OH SHIT YOU CAN SUPLEX NECROMANCERS?Not that fag, but technically yes. But in vanilla fistfighting is not viable.
>>551420385>OH SHIT YOU CAN SUPLEX NECROMANCERS?As far as as a 2D turn based, weapon based game lets you...There are brawlers in the game that have bonus hit points for punching, theoretically speaking you could have a group of brawlers just beating the shit out of the necro until he drops, no wrestling though>Can you please give me the accurate titles? Is it "The Blade Itself" or The Blade?The blade itself by AbercrombieBetween Two Fires by Buehlman
>>551419903Hamilton is mid, scuffed American Les Miserables. If you can watch it for free on tv or at your local library, or if you are paying for a on-demand service and it comes with it; I recommend you watch it. Some of the music gets stuck in my head despite it being mid and its competently done.I would not pay to watch it live or go spend money to specifically watch it though. Like most modern things it jerks itself off a tad bit to much politically and like most things that take place in New York, it jerks itself off a lot about being in New York.
>>551420385>OH SHIT YOU CAN SUPLEX NECROMANCERS?Sounds like Dwarf Fortress where a Necromancer disarmed one of my dwarves in a fight and the dwarf just slapped him so fucking hard that he dropped is staff and then was suplexed him so hard his brains exploded.
>>551420604As I said I don't know shit about Warhammer. I'm not here to judge if the complaints were justified or not, just pointing out how it's funny that those complaints die down as soon as the game is good and successful
>>551421119>it's funny that those complaints die down as soon as the game is good and successfulA masterpiece is still a masterpiece despite a flaw in the background, but can you blame people being so guarded after what happened to Star Wars?
What a cozy place. I'm still living in the Severn Chamber, it also feels kinda appropriate since its' so close to my main study. But I think I should move here asap.Also am I tripping? I could have sworn there was an unwrapped book here that was the journal of one of the previous librarians. I can't remember moving it.
>>551421272Is this Blue Prince? Did the person who made Cultist Simulator make this?
>>551421383Nah Blue Prince is a 3D game and looks like thisThat's Book of Hours the sequel to Cultist Simulator
>>551421971Okay my brother liked Cultist sim so I'm gonna tell him to look into Book of Hours and Blue Prince then.
>>551420870Yeah, maybe I'll check it out someday. I first heard of Hamilton in high school, and I was really confused why one of my teachers and a number of my schoolmates were big fans of this random-ass American musical when we live in a third-world country.

BumpI think it's kinda cool that you get to meet some of these people. For some reason I assumed at first that Librarians would serve for life (or until they mysteriously disappear)
>>551429030Get Skogdal.It is genuinely one of the best deckbuilders I ever played.I got sucked in by the weird "twin peaks but in rural norway in the 90s" atmosphere but it has an incredinly deep and unique system with a huge amount of cards, builds and playable characters.

>>551480695Maybe that's the trick to making millions.DONT WASTE IT ON SPELLCHEKKING THATS LAME AND GAY
>>551480695To be fair the dev is turk iirc, guy is probably on a watchlist just for being able to talk english and in contact with western audiences.
>>551486415That's fair. He's probably the richest man in Turkestan now.
>>551486415>>551486508>turk>turkestanSo which is it? Turkey and Kazakhstan are two very different things.
>>551486851that's nobody's business but the turks
>>551445549>>551445567The game is Siralim Ultimate according to Google search by image.
>>551487609But... well okay then.Still, if the dev is from turkey, literally a nato country, contact with the west is about as special as breathing air.
Is this game worth playing?
>>551493795Yes. It's an experience.
>>551493931what kind of experience?
>>551494154A weird one. You go through an entire spectrum of emotions. It was pretty long in my memories, though.
>>551493795It's very Stanley Parable-esque in that it takes a theme and then twists, turns, and plays with it. If you're into games like that, that sometimes get meta you'd like it.Please keep in mind that when I say its like Stanley Parable, I'm not saying "It's Stanley Parable with a different skin", it is its own game but they have similarities with how they play with the player choice and how it effects the story.
>>551493795Absolutely. I loathe VNs and I still loved it. Great art, great writing, good VA. One of few games to make me laugh out loud more than once.
hey sisters is Tower Climb any good?
This game looks amazing but wtf am I actually doing?
>>551428912That's funny because you can use it to answer the trust and to submit Cater & Hero orders.
>>551504754If it's another Demon Tilt, you're supposed to hit a bowl or five before playing.
MORE BOOZE
>>551493795Yes. Not waifubait nor is it VN in the sense of you actually make decisions constantly and don't have to sit through books worth of text in between.It is very abstract though, the ending especially gets very meta, so if you hate that sort of thing tread with caution.
>>551514801Why are you playing in japanese btw? How good is the translation?I remember Alexis talking in the patch notes about how hard it is to translate this game while preserving all the nuance in the writing. I mean hell, the title of the game is a play on words.
>>551493795most VNs are digital picture booksthat one's a Choose Your Own Adventure audiobook
>>551518168Practice. I'm not good enough to attest to the quality but it seems good. It's very conscientious about word choice, which is educational. The built in copy paste function is immensely useful.Btw I got this far and still haven't ran into one Killasami speaker. Also got ZERO lockworks and clockworks lesson this playthrough, which sticks in my craws because you need metal for the pumps and I can't be arsed to make wire.
>>551518697Fucking finally, all I had to do was complain
>>551518697Fair enough, sadly the language I'm currently learning is until recently somewhat obscure, so it's not always easy to find media in it.But this is how I (and probably most people here) learned English. Playing my second playthrough of most games in English for most games and eventually switching to English altogether.In general it's kinda crazy, I like consuming media in its original language if possible, which translates to me almost exclusively consuming English language media. So I have to go out of my way to supplement that with my native language, because I would obviously like to grow more eloquent in that aswell>Also got ZERO lockworks and clockworks lesson this playthroughWhoops, I just fed both of mine to Preliminal Meter, because I really want to read one of the high Rose books I got
>>551519562I must have lost count of the months hard, but Numa finally came.Real shame that I can't get assistants to come over. The weather seems to be very strong, but I'm not in the mood for reading books or crafting now if I'm honest
>>551287616It holds up well despite its age and simplistic gameplay, or maybe that's the engine port. Never played before, but the neighbor kid was into it.Being only being able to move using the mouse is a bit awkward.

>>551528331I know this is about gaymen, but the animated series did a good job fleshing General Grievous out even if they added more human than I like because if you only see the movie he is basically a walking sacrificial lamb with little to no personality.
>>551416396An indie game called Chantey had their award taken away by the same faggots because "hurr durr your publisher once worked with a military contractor". They are a joke and they deserve to be treated as a joke.
>>551530145I'm buying modretro products first chance i get. Their published games all look incredibly fun.
>>551522195This is so soulful compared to what arpgs became past d2. What a shame.
>>551528556Are you honestly suprised that Spiel-Berg movies are shallow?
>>551528331Game design is teh hard.Many seemingly smart gamedevs have an inclination to misunderstand percentages when designing things. They either see them as a multiplier or only consider statistical effect, with no regard for actual consequences.>attack with 50% hit chance 100 damageDev: okay that's 50 dpt on average, perfectly balanced.Player: wow that shit either instagibs me or does nothing.A coinflip might be fine when you have a rapid firing low damage weapon but then they apply the same logic to shit that either obliterates anything in its path or wastes a whole turn doing nothing.
>>551531564Another thing is devs expecting the players wanting to feel "hardcore" to just keep up with bullshit and keep banging their heads against a wall until all the planets and the rng elements align.They allow themselves to design games like this, because "its supposed to be tough", "the player is supposed to keep trying", "the player is supposed to deal with whatever".
>caring about the IGAI thought, out of all places, /indie/ would know better.
>>551533821I'd like to hope it's just one shitposter replying to himself as usual but it seems to cover too many timezones. Truly dark times.
>>551531564If i recall reforged mod tries to fix that with degrees of success(with grazing/glancing hits) over pure hit or miss.
>>551518697>metalcan't you order it from one of the shopping catalogs?
>>551538136You can also examine the bedside candleholders but it's the principle of the thing.
>>551532353>>551531564Its just a relic of tabletop gaming, which gameplay is the direct foundation for all video game rpg mechanics like % to hit and the likes because on paper it was a logical way to implement fairness in combat, as you couldnt expect the dm/table master to eyeball it all without bias or errors of judgement. And since its mostly dice rolls and probability, they translate very easily into a software format.
>>551544365Not to mention that a good GM can still adjust the difficulty on the fly, if for some reason an encounter is too hard or too easy to the point of being unfun.
I've got so many games to play that I need to use random.org to force me to decide instead of procrastinating.Why do I keep putting myself in that position...
>>551544365There's nothing wrong with randomized hit chances per se.But yeah more often than not it is cargoculted from tabletop d20s without thinking much.>And since its mostly dice rolls and probability, they translate very easily into a software format.What doesn't translate easily into software format?Randomness is the one thing that computers can't do and RNGs used to be very expensive to run not long ago.Look at the state of Doom's RNG: 256 bytes. No I don't mean one entry is 256 bytes, literally the entire state of it is 256 entries stored in 256 bytes. This post is 838 bytes.It's perfectly adequate for a videogame, yet every modern game runs some rng lib that probably has state longer than the lifespan of the universe... and still reinstantiates its rng on every roll because modern devs haven't a fucking clue.
>>551531564>>551532353>>551546582What would you use for turn-based RPG games?Also what turn-based RPG games don't use that system?>>551545695>I've got so many games to play that I need to use random.org to force me to decide instead of procrastinating.Why not use us? Tell us your game list and we'll tell you what to play first.
i decided to finally gift myself baba is you for christmas to see what that is all about.Save to say this game makes me feel like a massive retard that gets stuck on basic levels that are just there to introduce a new concept.All in all i am having fun.
>>551546864CongratsThis is my save, own the game for years but haven't played since 2024 it seems
>>551546803You can use random hit chances, it's not an inherently flawed idea.You just gotta be mindful of how impactful a miss/hit is in practice and avoid edge cases or design features to alleviate them.For ranged combat, there has been a better solution since the 90s. Just simulate the projectile trajectory like original xcom does. The random element is just the shot dispersion, no bullshit.Your leet sniper tries to score a hit halfway across the map through several windows? That's gonna be a gamble no matter how good he and his gear is.Your untrained rookie blasts at someone standing 3 meters away? That shot will probably connect.Devs for competitive or otherwise more serious games have used various methods to make RNG less prone to bouts of extreme luck swings. POE's evasion entropy is a good example. It doesn't take anything more complicated than that.https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Evasion#Mechanics
>>551546803Okay. Sly cooper, persona 5, kingdom hearts, paper mario ttyd, crash bandicoot warped (remake), spyro 2 (remake), rune factory 1, ape escape, thief 2, elden ring, jak and daxter, ratchet and clank, cuphead or one of the numerous wild cards I have to play eventually?
>>551548483Play Persona 5I rolled for it with random.org :^)
>>551549263Which is what I did. Including the spoiler.
>>551549370Well if we both got P5 then you obviously have to play that.
>>551548483Start with Kingdom Hearts, it is a fun donutsteel OC.
should I bother playing hollowknight before silksong?
>>551550426I don't think there is much reason not to.
>>551550426It's definitely less polarizing and arguably a better entry point. A lot of the complaints about silksong boil down to the fact it feels like they spent the last five years perfecting the pantheons of HK and made a game for themselves and people into that, so silksong is well made but it's a treacherous vindictive spiky game compared to HK.
>>551548339>to make RNG less prone to bouts of extreme luck swingsWouldn't then missing 3 times in a row still feel like a extreme luck swing with that system?
>>551480423So does this game suck ass or is it actually decent? It looks SO janky that it might turn around to be kino.
>>551548483Thief 2 is kino but slow paced, i definitely recommend it.
>>551553570You know the hard limits, you can plan evasion build survivability around that without having to worry about once-a-lifetime crazy statistical anomalies.Mainly it just takes one excuse away from tryhard hardcore whiners

Unlocked the entire main building. Feels great. And I also love how I'm actually becoming better at the game, as in I have to consult my notes less and less to know which books to read for which memories for instance. I never expected this to be possible in this game.Also started dabbling in crafting a little. Though I'm much more interested in crafting memories than items to be honest, as those are easier to keep track of.Gonna keep going west I think. One of the books made it sounds like the Prison downstairs has some ominous shit in it and I'm fine with keeping that untouched for now

>>551590351Entirely possible. First time playing and I started on the 12th of this month. I wasn't expecting it to be as expansive as it is. Came in wanting space truckin' and got a whole lot of gravy on the side. I love me some truckin', but damn am I a sucker for some wanderlust bait.

>>551591665Endless Sky. Heavily inspired by Escape Velocity (which I've sadly never played).>>551592037I'm getting that feeling. I'd encountered The Quarg pretty early and went to their little triangle of system. "Oh, neat, a little [REDACTED] as a treat. I must be close to completing these storyline chains." Then I was truckin' a while to get a fleet that wasn't just mining or Infinite Freighter Works: Tokyo Drift Edition™. Started ranking up in that combat rating. Got to three or four and decided to go poking around in the dark corners up north, figuring I could survive decently enough unless it's like a massive pirate hive. It took a couple of "Shit, a wrong turn, I'm out of fuel" reloads but I found something strange it allowed me to land on. Stumbled into the exact opposite of what I expected to find. Well, until you go north to the Unfettered, but that was a little later. Spent from August 3017 to May 3018 being a shuttle to sci-fi conventions and vacationers. All the while a Syndicate salesman I rescued waits for me to drop him somewhere so I can sign some paperwork.>>551592520It was the rando name it got. I chuckled.
I'm gonna assume there is some merit in thinking about if certain people potentially shouldn't be helped though on that note it's very funny how my dislike for the Bureau stems mainly from Cultist Simulator. I assume the Librarian would potentially have a more amicable relationship with themHowever I don't understand this world nearly well enough to make those kinds of decisions, so for now I'll just be a librarian apathetic to the world, happy to help whoever is willing to pay
>>551591601This took me a few tries to get right. Tried chasing it a couple times. Realized I could N target it as soon as I load in so that it's targeted when it get out of the planet. Then several times of it just outright being vaporized after being focus fired. A few more rounds then of me hitting J to calm the goons down until it was soon enough for it to not catch one last round and blow the fuck up once again before I can land. Now off to deliver a bunch more of these tiny Rubik's Cubes.
After 25 hours in Wooden Ocean, I'm beginning to get a decent idea of what the fuck is going on. Pretty neat. I'm beginning to feel Educated.I'm still doing fine in regard to enemies; aside from some random niggles here and there WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MEZRA KEY the interior of Wooden Ocean has been largely explored. Got the fast travel network rebooted and the Divine Tower working, cleared the Devil Woods, Undead Castle + lower dungeons, a bunch of other shit. 11 Demon Shards and 14 puzzle pieces. I think next up will be doing some Ghost Ship stuff; I don't feel particularly motivated to travel the Ghost Road (and presumably advance the main quest) until I get my military power high enough to fuck up Wooden Edge.

>>551584943Ummm...that is not where the prison is.The prison is to the west.But all "ends" of the House have really interesting stuff.A second playthrough is going way faster, partially because of all the new features and partually because I was a retard for most of my first one and did not know how useful some weather cards were.>>551616497Sorry, I cannot accept, I am gay.
>>551616980I thought hai content was done years ago. Are they just adding early game fluff?
>>551620068Very nice.I mean it's kinda of hard to make those sorts of decisions when you don't fully understand the world in the first place. While the librarian most likely does. At least mine, you don't exactly become Twice-Born without knowing your way around the supernatural. Then again I guess I completed multiple Cultist Simulator runs without fully understanding it either.>>551620204>Ummm...that is not where the prison is.What the...I guess I was thrown off by Gervinus van Lauren saying his seventh riddle (whatever that may be) "waits now in the cellar of the Gaol" so I assumed it is downstairs.All the more reason to not go down there yet. Especially since my access points at the moment are scrambling down the well and a, presumably, hidden passage in the wine cellar.>A second playthrough is going way faster, partially because of all the new features and partually because I was a retard for most of my first one and did not know how useful some weather cards wereI think for me it'll be the fact that I'm slowly figuring out crafting which I shied away at first. Or rather it seemed more complicated than it actually is, now I understand that the only thing that matters is which skill I use, while the crafting station just determines what cards I can input.Also realizing I can use any lesson with matching aspect to upgrade a skill was a game changer and realizing I'm an idiot and I only need one lesson each time
>>551620204>>551624521Oh also realizing the books have hints for crafting recipes was great.I don't think I had much use for the hints the books had in Cultist Simulator, since I've figured most of that out by myself and didn't do much summoning, Beside, the work verb itself usually told you what you need to summon who, once you had a few cards in

>>551625949Baba dust is ???
>>551626010Yeah, i am sticking to finishing up the regular world first.i am not ready for whatever fever dream awaits me here.Speaking of dream i already dreamed of BABA. this game is good.
>>551626290I envy you, I played the Flash game and I liked it, but the full game? Yeah I only reached level 2 or 3. Still, good luck with the Bug World, and the Meta World, and...
A second Numa so soon?Motherfucker, I need to find a way to get rid of these lessons asap. I might just barely have access to enough memories to dump them all into inks and bump it to level 9
I wrote this whole paragraph wondering about if you could WIN this level or if the only point was making LEVEL is BABA and everything i tried and as soon as i finished i got the idea that clears it lol.I should just write down my thoughts more often. apparently it helps.
>>551628259Is it just Key is Win?
>>551628745the big problem is getting the WIN out of the room without making LEVEL is WEAK. otherwise the whole screen just dies.And since they are all right up to the walls you can't really move them out of the way.So step one is to open the door. by making either BABA or KEY YOU and HOT.and then make the WALL is MELT and LEVEL is HOT and all the walls just explode letting you get around. Which I didn't realize I should try until i wrote everything down that didn't or wouldn't work.
>>551629056Ah, I never got to WEAK.
Any other shooters like HROT? Despite its simpleness this game has left a lasting impact on me. I tried Dusk and Cultic but for some reason they don't scratch the same itch. What's left out there in the style of HROT? :(
>>551631024For the record, I tried both Cultic and Dusk and neither hit the same palate. Dusk seems confused about its identity as it goes from a slow pace exploration to Quake 3 rocket arena style gameplay. Cultic on the other hand seems to be just banking on the 2.5D + old school textures.
Gaze upon my splendor!I just realized I got a good chunks of the books' Japanese text done but hardly any affairs and no further stories, since I've been running through the game to the point I ended this game before my second Numa. Oh well, for later.
I woke up with that French song that goes >la la l'oignon la la>la la l'oignon la la>au pa camarade, au pa camarade>au pa au paI blame spiderfag.Anyway, new Icarus update.>After locating a juvenile mammoth and dealing with its parent>and dealing with its parentYay for stealing the offspring of animals and murdering their parents. Now on a serious note, I don't know for what this could be used for. Unless they can carry a ridiculous amount of cargo, they look like their movement is very slow to offset it.

>>551634307I'm your new daddy now.
>>551582328Almost sounds like a dream game. Not saying this is the only thing that should be removed, but not one game over the last 10+ years have done crafting right. None of it felt fun or interesting in retrospect. Any hidden indie gems that actually made crafting compelling?

>>551633394Zortch, for a 6 buck game I was suprised with the amount of content, scratch that quake 3 vibe somewhat. Dont bother with chop goblin in kind of suck ass.>>551657708You can sacrifice weapons you dont want/like to upgrade a weapon strenght, and you can fuse wespons to get multiple effects ie if you see a buff you want or like on a weapon you dont use as to add it to a weapon you use. Those red points/souls are for upgrading a specific weapon stats (the +1 next to the individual weapon, goes to +10 iirc). The stuff to upgrade them are innone of the side room of the hub area.

>>551634496Well, that was an odd ending.Can't really say that baiting enemies around a corner and then exchanging blows on repeat (just hold M1 and chug potions) is very exciting, but at least the game's short enough to not suffer greatly from it.>lvl 25 @ floor 16Didn't have to do any grinding, with the first death around floor 13 - There's a strange gameplay option where you can start a new game with your character intact; and I heard item trading over multiplayer was very common?S'pose that was mostly used for nightmare/hell difficulty with the damage & hp increases.What was its given age rating, given the topless (woo! two blurry pixels!) thong succubi/witches?

>>551681859Time to play Control, then.
BABA is DONE (for tonight)finally bothered to do the A way out? stage that unlocks after getting like 3 flowers, So i the credits rolled for the first time. though i guess there is still a lot to do.
I'm happy that at least some of the craftable higher level memories are persistent. I prefer to make them in advance and have them laying around for when I need them rather than having to scramble to craft them whenever the need arises.
>>551689802Sex with this onahole
>started new playthrough>first visitor is edge/lantern>I have ZERO lantern OR edge books>put him on hold in the talk verb while scrambling to the reading room hoping to get a lantern/edge book>get a phrygian edge book (arthur can't read phrygian)>HAHA, Lantern book!>Talk to him about the Absent friend>Please give me an Edge book FUCKHe left because I talked to him about the affair instead of giving him a book to consult to tide him over until I had something for himI'm sorry Arthur, please don't come when I've LITERALLY only got the first four rooms open
First palace in persona 5 spoiler: I don't know you can top off a literal child rapist in term of evil.
>>551696153>>551691439Yes, it's good. Curious hunch is great, especially because moth/lantern are so poor in book memories, and you got one of the few skills that makes it.In comparison enduring reflection is pretty meh. But 3 rose is 3 rose, and it's got three aspects so it's at least useful for leveling heart and knock skills too. Did you notice what the game tells you when crafting it? Make sure to examine the workstations when you unlock them, some of them can allow more aspects more easily. If you have a second Fet, you can craft the upgrade of Enduring reflection at any of the shrines in the Solar church - they all take two elements of the soul and several are Rose compatible, so double Fet + Enduring + Preliminal + A rose 2 memory hits 15, which is the last threshold for crafts.
>>551696774How about forcing children into prostitution? The third target does that.
>>551697708Nevermind. It can always get worse...
>>551697956If it's any consolation. The game doesn't dwell on that aspect much. The guy cares more about making money and his palace focuses on his greed. It's just that he does it by exploiting others including children.
>>551697615>But 3 rose is 3 roseYeah, especially since usually my bottleneck is finding n memories with one of two aspects for leveling up a skill. I had to even burn two lessons for a few of my upgrades. Which isn't the end of the world, considering I keep hearing about how salons give you infinite lessons, but still feels like a waste>Did you notice what the game tells you when crafting it?Nope, need to pay attention to that next time.I do read item descriptions a lot, but I keep forgetting to check if there is any special text when crafting
>>551697615>>551700352Also since I'm getting more into crafting now, I'm very glad the books give you hints. The 10 power recipes are often somewhat guessable (except when there is one of some element that doesn't match the skill) but the 15 power is borderline impossible. I lucked into getting one for Inks of Revelation by chance but I think that's the only one I know so far (except from some I've read about but haven't tried yet)
>>551700352Reading the crafting menu will take you a very long way, but you WILL need to take notes pretty quickly. Two more tips that are not spoilers but I managed to miss and they're not insignificant:You can harvest from the gardens, including the beehive and vegetables. I managed to miss that entirely for my first two playthroughs, which is pretty sad because now that cooking is in it's the source of the only non purchasable sky beverage, which some visitors have a preference for. You should use talk/consider on each beast/item you can craft at least once to see what happens, especially if they look useless, because sometimes they're not.Some crafts are legitimately scams though.
AUGHMY DICK
>>551701757>but you WILL need to take notes pretty quicklyYeah at the moment I just scribble down all craft-able memories I know and where to get them from.I haven't crafted many items yet, but especially for the higher level ones that require a whole chain of components I've written down the "path" to get them from nothing but my skill and elements of the soul.Maybe I'll reorganize that at some point once I have a better picture of what I want to keep track of>spoilerluckily I've noticed about the gardens. Just unlocked them yesterday I think. Though on the topic of cooking. Does picrel imply that that's the only dish I can make with that item, or will I see more option if I add more items/skills?>talk/considerI think the only non-visitor/assistance entity I've talked to so far was one of the chickens. Now it's angry though and I'm not sure which cheap item I can feed it, but I'll figure it out. As for considering, I do it whenever I have an element left that has no other purpose at the moment, though to be honest I've been mainly using it on the busts to figure out their order and on a few statues/artworks that look like they might give me some lore info
>>551703103Cooking, like crafting, is pretty deterministic. There are maybe two or three recipes where you get to pick what outcome you want. I gleaned most of it from reading the ingredients text, but a lot of it requires flour to make dough, which you can only order.Chicken will tell you what they want if you click on the empty slot in the talk verb while it goes>Cluck. CLUCK.At you asking for food. They'll eat the whole vegetables bag you got there, for example.You should consider these too.

>>551672981>most reasonable anon in the whole debate
>>551706436Now you know why in almost every International interaction, even within the EU, the French get fucked for a reason.
>>551706330>>551706436>>551706949Literally no one cares if a language is that isn't English is spoken here every once a while, it becomes a problem when people then abuse it to just speak another language and exclude the other 90% of the chat. There are literally french image boards you can go to if you don't want to speak English, I'm pretty sure even the german imageboard, if its still up, has a whole french section.

I’m looking to get Silksong but can’t decide between Switch 2 and PS5. Are there any factors that would make the decision easy?
>buy https://store.steampowered.com/app/3594120/Brush_Burial_Gutter_World/>pure fun, sexo protagonist, insane level design, great movement, really cool sense of style>feels like i finally found what i've been craving for so long>finish the first full level after a couple of hours of exploration and practice>realize that is, in fact, the only level besides the smaller side missionsGod FUCKING dammit dude You'd think that with how hard Thief and Deus Ex and SS2 get dicksucked that there would be a lot of good imsims out there but I'm forever starved That said the game's really good for what it is and for the price and I recommend it highly
>>551616497I hope two people are enjoying it. I pirated a copy so I need to decide on a starter element and then get to getting. I was looking up some basic info, guides, etc. for the game and goddamn this definitely looks like something that would fuck me if I just hopped in.Is the plot worth playing?>>551714678Lol yeah the dev likes to put bizarre spooky surreal out-of-place objects in his games. SK64 is fucking cool though.
>>551715309Such is life.If you find a game that nobody talks about yet it seems too good to be true... it probably is.Is the game completely finished, no plans for additional content?
>>551714678Siactro is so based. Toree Saturn is GOTY.
>>551715309I know your feel, I was so dissapointed whennI realized it there is only one real mission. Dev is basically sitting on a goldmine and selling nuggets instead, I unironically believe it could be the next thief-like that get record breaking sales but it feel more like a tech demo than a full game. Doesnt help that the more saucy outfits require an autistic amount of grinding to get.
>>551719162I'm not sure but from what I can tell it's a sequel to an even smaller game and it's not labeled as early access or anything.>>551719605I know solo development is difficult but most of the major functions of the game seem ironed out already and it's not like it needs VAs or anything. Add 5 more levels with the caliber of the first one and you've got a 9/10 already. There are items like the scoped rifle in the gas station that are basically useless on that level but could be amazing on others, Stronghold has a whole set of unique enemies for the medieval theme, there's already a currency system and everything that would let you buy upgrades like Thief, c'mon man there's SO MUCH to the game but so little to use it on.Fennel and Sigg are so cute together too
>>551711414Because they act like America but without the military to back it up and it makes everyone hate them.
>>551370836What have you bought in the steam sale, fellow indie bros?
>>551718649>I hope two people are enjoying it. I pirated a copy so I need to decide on a starter element and then get to getting. I was looking up some basic info, guides, etc. for the game and goddamn this definitely looks like something that would fuck me if I just hopped in.I went in blind on Hard and am doing fine after 40ish hours. The game definitely has some bits that will fuck you up, but there's almost always a way around or something else to explore Except Infinite Grooty. If you see people talking about Infinite Grooty, turn the fuck around. I would advise against picking Silicon as an element, as I haven't gotten a whole lot of mileage out of it. Fire has been nice, though. Holy would probably be a good choice. That said, the game has plenty of opportunities to cover gaps in your elemental damage/resistances. Don't stress about it too much.The plot is great. Don't read anything about it. Figuring things out from the little tidbits the game leaves laying around has been a great experience.>I hope two people are enjoying itActually, nobody took me up on the offer. Feel free to add me on Steam if you want a legit copy.
>>551732663Nothing. There's no new games I want and old stuff I've already bought on discount in sales past.

Played through it twice so far (once on release, and once somewhat recently with more levels being added) can't wait for 1.0 will probably hold off on it until then
>>551718649It's a shame, because the game is really fun to play, but I feel like it's "le spooky game that happens to have platforming", instead of "platforming game that just has spooky elements".
>>551691439Something I figured out/remembered fairly late in my previous playthrough is that you can use book reading stations to re-read books for memories.So once you are sufficiently well set up, you can make like 6 memories simultaneously for a single project like advancing a skill.
>>551732663Starless Abyss and Conquest Dark, but i'll hold this one until 1.0 arrives
>>551743369>GloomwoodIt's out of EA?
>>551746863yeah, luckily I found that out quite quickly. Can't imagine how much hassle it is to generate the memories one by one otherwise.
>>551746863Not just re-reading. You can do the first reading and identify unknown books too. I pretty much only read at desks.You can also use malaised soul cards on them, so you don't use up regular souls and add inks if you need more aspects.
>>551746569I played Blood West. Did the first act.Ask me about it.

Finished Skogdal.Pretty much one of the best deckbuilders I ever played, though had to make a literally unbeatable deck to get through the final run. And had to use the hacker for it which is fitting.
>>551752402Really? In front of my 8-Bits chick?
>>551751930>Baba is discounted on switch rn and I don't know if I should buy it or just buy it on steam.i would assume it's mostly the same between switch and PC and the discount also seems about the same currently.Controller support also works great on PC so i don't see this not play well on switch.So i guess the question is if you have a steam deck or not and really want the option for playing on the go?from what i can find there's only some major differences between the mobile vs PC/switch versions.
>>551753220Does PC Baba have mods?
>>551752670This is the nineties, that's a tamagotchi.
>>551753336It has a level editor.
>>551754491For the Switch as well or just for the PC?
>>551754597A quick check says both have it.
>>551754990>>551754597Adding to that that it seems you can't make level packs on switch only single levels.
>>551754990>>551755325Dang, any other indie recommends for the switch that's around 15 bucks? Older Nintendo exclusives recommendations welcomed as well.
Bannerlord's auto-resolve at sea is on some jank ass shit. Despite getting slaughtered if I manually fight the battle and my group having like 10 in the mariner skill the auto-resolve still wins for us very very easily. Not complaining too hard since I really need the dosh to pay for these fucking ships but goddamn I really need to figure out how to ship battle if the auto-resolve is able to pull off wins like that
>>551755542The original Total War: Rome was like that, you could have a General with maxed out command, manage to defend a whole city with 1 unit of town militia that is 90% wiped out (around 10 to 21 guys) against a whole army and pull of Legendary Victory after Legendary Victory.
>>551756179See at least that has a reason even if its stupid. A bannerlord's skills are out of a 100 so with a 10 I have a barely better than nothing commander somehow winning

Alright, another area done. 7/10 fully cleared on the regular world mapThese levels are starting to hurt my brain, man. And then the next level in the same region is piss easy and i wonder if i am just retarded and having big brain farts constantly.EMPTY is PUSH/PULL is so weird to wrap my head around.

Got gifted Repose for christmas.It's kinda shit.Also don't die, /indie/!
>>551756179You could unironically do this in game too, rome was janky af. Hoplites or any unit that could do spearwall were super cheesy to use, like a killbox in front of a gate and you could easily grind them to dust because they would rush inside right into the spears and their AI would shit themselves.Also made me realize that the total war ai just copy paste your moves as a player, because I used to cheese enemies formation by spamming the move order and the units would force the enemy to spread out, and the AI started to use that tactics which was making the engine shit itself because it would do like 30 move order per seconds

>>551791240The correct statement is:>"For the Night is dark and full of terrors."Its used to justify why the Followers of R'hllor do what they do. It's not something you just state, it akin to their "Amen" or "It is what it is.". It's their reason for the season. Also Night is capitalized because they aren't referencing the normal, everyday night. They are referencing their Doomsday, their End Times, The Long Night.But of course people who jerk off and just watch the TV show and don't read the books think its just a cool little thing to say and strip it of its fantasy religious connotations that make it so bad ass to say in the first place where you decided to make camp for the night instead of marching through the dark of night because "the Night is dark and full of terrors".

Then they cry when their game doesn't do well, or isn't like, or something. They want to deny reality and will a new one into existence and no matter how hard they try they keep failing and their psych meds increase.
>>551795972it's not that weird it's quite simple really
>>551795692>>551795972Just let them keep doing it, they are destroying AAA and I honestly think its healthy for the industry for a game crash and a clearing of old dead wood for a new forest to grow.
>>551795692cause the average gamer would rather fuck humans with animal ears that human-sized bugs
>>551795972>>551796316>>551796337no no, you misunderstood i don't care about the "human" muchi do care about the "bug" part though
>>551796648Honestly, I'd fuck the bug as well, she looks cute at least even if she doesn't have tits.
>>551795879small indie company please understand
>>551796316The funny thing that by denying the big titty women that were considered acceptable by western standards they cleared the way for Asia and as we know Asia has no qualms with producing things that make westerners seethe and worry about ages.They should have just let us have the big tit, sexy woman and it wouldn't have left a gaping hole that Japan and China are now all to happy to rush and fill with depictions of women they they no doubt have more objections too
>>551795879>>551796987And look at the middle finger. There's even a seam running along the side, like it's a melting glove or something.
>>551797070I fear that the fall of western video games means the rise of gacha sloppa, I don't really like the idea of tying gambling with real money and video games so tightly together, its going to fuck up people so badly. If you think sports betting is bad, wait until people start going homeless cause they wanted to 100% the hentai pachinko machine because their waifu is on it.
>>551797670Holy epilepsy.
>>551798179They do that specifically cause it grabs attention, makes you secrete more dopamine, and it actually is more likely to put you into a trance like state where you are more vulnerable to put in more money and/or continue playing. They use to do it in a lot of Japanese shows to continue viewership until a couple mecha anime and finally Pokemon gave enough kids seizures that it became illegal to show kids that kinda shit on tv. Because kids are way more suitableness to seizures than adults are.
>>551798520>suitablenesssusceptible lol
oh god, i am going deeper down the rabbit hole.
>do a new playthrough without using my notes and only mapping recipes in the gameReal ghetto "what's this do again" tryouts>surgeries' knock keeper is also sanguis saltandis FUCK
>>551802305OopsAlso I forgot how paralysing it is to get new soul cards when you don't know which they'll give you of the two in the tree.
tried rain world for the first time today and I didn't know you actually got rainbows after a storm, that was lovely
Downloading Kingdom Come 1 for the first time right now, Should I play hardcore mode from the get go? Or normal at first?
>>551808071it's pretty uncommon, i think i've gone full games without seeing it
>>551808159oh neat, blessed run thenI ate and slept enough to get as far as the survivor then the neuron told me to go east and I got chomped thrice by a purple lizard, I got farther each time though and learned that the're faster than you in tight spaces and more aggressive than the greens
>>551808492in general lizards are faster than you in tunnelsgotta be upright on open ground to outrun them (or use a wide variety of other tricks)
>>551808138You should try normal. The combat is something you need to get used to.
>>551808138>Should I play hardcore mode from the get go? Or normal at first?Normal first, or the combat will filter you fast.

We are close to maximum disgraceful crafting.
>>551732663Lord of the fallen and im wondering why I even did it because I just dont have the patience for these kind of games anymore. Also I dislike some of the mechanics like invincible enemies you need to shine a light on to make mortal because there is always some cunt zombie in your dead angle to fuck you over.And Sprawl, neat little fps where slow mo is your bread and butter which im fine with.
>>551818073We HAVE maximized disgraceful crafting. Absolutely revolting,
>>551821030I honestly forgot some skills have more than one 15 threshold crafts. I really need more Ereb and Fet though, the edge aspect is basically nonexistent.
Blue Prince is great. Aced the exam on my first try, really was not expecting to.
>>551829572Damn, good job. I couldn't be arsed to get all the way my back the exam again so I looked up the answers I didn't know.
Intravenous is sick
is metro gravity good?
>>551837382Hell yeahIV2 one of the best top down shootersWith better marketing it would have been all over the place but now it's a hidden gem
>>551844370Yeah, but be ready to be confused because some of the levels are super confusing, and dont feel bad if you use the easier timing setting because some of them are tight as fuck to pull.
>>551845591oh, are the levels timed? that sounds kinda annoying desu. it does look fun as fuck otherwise though
>>551845751Nha they arent timed, but for some reason there are fights and they're rythm based, hence what I said in the other post. Id definitely recommend it tho, its quite unique.
just bought:lorelei and the laser eyessignalisagainst the stormwooden ocean (because of you lil niggas)>>551848387ahhh i get ya. im usually ok at rythm stuff so thats cool. ill probably grab it before the end of the sales
>>551848716All of those are good. Enjoy your vidya bro.
So, wait, hold on. Hold on.>Grand Mother Silk uplifts Weavers to be her servants/daughters>they put her to sleep, create Citadel to keep her asleep>they create Eva as an attempt to usurp GMS, fail>they fuck off from Pharloom to Hallownest, fail to make friends>score themselves Hornet, a demigod>Infection is on the rise, they fuck off back to PharloomWhere are they, though? >default ending of Silksong is Hornet usurping GMS, like Weavers originally intended>best ending so far is Hornet abandoning that idea in order to care for the communityAm I getting all this right? Is it me, or is there a huge gap in the storyline, where plot is supposed to be happening, but isn't?>upcoming free DLC seems to be heavily involved with Lifeblood>a substance that will definitely sever one from silk, at the expense of their mind
>>551831781I am getting to about that point where the roguelike aspect is wearing thin. Next time I can get the diary key it's going in the coat check because drawing the room to use it in is such a pain, and it's never at the same time that I can get the key.
>>551848716Based
>>551853136thanks fren. just finishing up the post game/dlc/whatever in control then ill probably start on lorelei or signalis.Im telling myself thats all im buying this sale but ill probably get a bunch of cheap filler on the last day like usual.
>>551861702Not long now until the kids don't know what a TV remote is
>>551865595Pretty sure people still have TVs
so it turns out that you can't survive by trying to hold out in a pipevisuals are cool though
>>551867157Have you seen a modern tv remote?
>>551871189Some of them are vaguely penis or vibratoresque shaped but there are still flat square remotes they are just smaller now.
>>551871523>Some of them are vaguely penis"To change channel, squeeze!"
>>551869965wait what the hell are you telling me I can't actually store bats in my hands before hybernating?Should I have tossed them or is that just not a thing outside of fruits?
>>551872327Maybe they have to be dead?Maybe you can throw them against the wall to kill them or something.
>>551872737checked the wiki and apparently >Unlike other food sources, Batflies do not persist in shelters, and are either automatically consumed or deleted. Now since I hate checking the wiki, I'm away from a shelter and rain's going to hit soon, will a karmic gate work as a shelter?
Has anyone had Heineken out of a keg? Why is it constantly so foamy? It's been sitting in the same spot for multiple days and its still very foamy.

yeah sure sunshine I'll destroy that great worm with my peashooter
>bought fantasy life i>played 35 hoursIt's basically animal crossing but good + combat + rune factory elements. Love it. Comfy, simple grind. My only problem is it's extremely easy, like incredibly easy. I was expecting it but maybe not to this extent. Don't know if there's anything even remotely challenging in endgame or whatever. Still doesn't really matter to me, I bought this to relax after I'm done playing other "serious" games for the day.
Thinking of buying pic-related.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2495100/Hello_Kitty_Island_Adventure/It seems to be the best next thing to Animal Crossing, plus it has Kuromi. But I don't know how much content it has.Anyone has played it? How it is?

Is it time to buy Silksong yet?
>>551889654that's a far righter place, he just asked for a righter place
Oh, okay. I feared the Great Worm in Silica was part of a set of assets since I saw a similar one in Witch Hunt, but no, the mouth is different.
French bump.
>>551894794brigitte barduoooh
>>551873172>will a karmic gate work as a shelter?Don't most of them have a shelter nearby anyways?
>>551896596yeah, I found it relatively quickly afterwards when it started to rain.
Why is /indie/ so active with lots of posts I'm interested in while I'm away for 2 days.Is it me? Am I killing the mood, should I leave?
>>551896796We'll be here when you get back.
>>551791240how do you know a random phrase is a reference?I didn't.That makes you a clown.
>>551663069isn't putain and salope literally the same concept
>>551898045Yes but also no.Literally, they mean the same, aka a prostitute, but in practice, "putain" is also kind of universal, like the Polish "kurwa" or the American "fuck".
>>551493795I was also going through a breakup and it made me cry a lot. That probably means it's good.I wouldn't really play it otherwise though.
>>551898236I just find it funny that to say "damn bitch" you literally just say "hooker bitch"
>>551898598If you think it's funny, wait until you learn how we call the act of looking for company in bars and in discothecs.Literally "dredging", draguer.
>>551899292I mean, it fits
fuck you worm
>>551899587dune remaster looking good
>>551899635I'm resisting the urge to try Dune Awakening.
>>551899748>try Dune AwakeningTry it and tell us how the PvE is.Judging by reviews, it seems to be fun, but I don't really trust people with less than 50 hours of playtime.
>>551900605I dunno, I played a lot of Conan Exiles, and alone, it's boring.
>>551900605>tit window>no titsWhat the fuck did Medea mean by this
>>551848716I got signalis and kinda regret it, I find it a little annoying, I think the genre is just not for me.Been playing some Cyberpunk that I also got on the sale instead.
>>551900691>and alone, it's boring.That happens with most open world survival games, that were really aimed for servers.
>>551904480Yeah. I can count on one hand how many survival games are fun solo. I think Vintage Story is one of the best, but because there's so much to do just to get a farm going, you go from one endeavour to another.Meanwhile Return to Moria is probably the most atrocious I can think of. Return to Moria or Valheim. Conan Exiles was boring solo, but at least you had thralls to do what you can't.I think Return to Moria even has the "wait for player to revive you" even if you're solo? I'm not sure.
>>551903380Funny how a tiny covered moped style car from a literal cyberpunk dystopia has better dashboard display than real modern cars
cowering together with scavs and lizards in a drainpipe because a vulture decided to show up was hilarious>need to go up>lizard is blocking the exit>suddenly scavs come out of the pipe >they immediately go down in mine and we get squished together>lizard joins, gets a free meal, think I'm dead but it actually ate a scav and it was just pushing me along with the blob of other scavs in the pipe>goes on its merry way to the leftI don't think there's a lot of games that manage to simulate an ecosystem like this and also make you feel like prey huddled together because a big fucker came out
games that are only fun with friends are shit gamesanything is fun with friendsthey're just glorified chatrooms that use a lot more electricity than irc
this feels illegal.
>>551907797is there a rule that allows players to stack words?
>>551907797No, that's intended. There are puzzles where it's part of the solution.
>>551897804>tumblr game artstyle>not full of pop culture references>"It's a random sentence."Then why are you wearing the make up, google the phrase and you'll see I'm right.
>>551908223No special rule needed but word stacking is a bit of a pain since words naturally push and don't want to occupy the field of anything else that pushes or stops. but there are some ways.>>551908384i know. since i needed both lava and ice to be push at the same time in that level i didn't see another solution for that since i only had one IS and no AND.
>>551907753>anything is fun with friendsExcept anal.
>10 minutes boss fight>Die at the last hit due to bad hit detection>Forced to watch 4 minutes of unskippable cutscene>Forced to replay a 6 minutes on-rail level>Just active enough that you can't use fast mode on emulator to make it more bearable but not enough to not be boring>Forced to do 10 minutes boss fight again>The boss fight is still buggy because the devs ran out of money and timeThis is what people mean when they say they want games that don't hold your hand like the good old time. Unskippable cutscenes, on-rail levels and buggy boss fights.
>>551910236gonna tell us what game you are mad about so that, on the off-chance i played it, i can call you a scrub and to git gud?
>>551908797that's exceptionally more fun with friends
>>551908797well, more fun than doing it alone
is indie a genre or not
>>551873172>will a karmic gate work as a shelterno, has to be shelters specifically or one of the very few places in the game that the rain doesn't reach (and you still need to reach a shelter to end cycle anyway)
>>551910894It's a vibe.
>>551910941I get the gameplay point of the shelter, mind you, but has anyone come up with a funny player explanation of why the rain kills you even if you're not going to drown and you're in the relative safety of a pipe or overhang?
>>551910817I dunno, alone I can pick the speed and depth. When my gf pegged me, she went all in without warmup.
>>551911250Women really don't get it, they think any hole is a vagina.No woman goddamnit my ass isn't self-lubing. Just because you've got a few fingers in beforehand you can't dick me all the way throughat least the way she was concerned about me afterwards was cute but still
>>551911158you are going to drownthe water level goes all the way up during the rain
>>551912045I'm almost certain it didn't, reallyin >>551869965 I kept trying to make sure if the water would rise but I only died because of the rain getting stronger
>>551912781I was waiting for this. Thank you for your service.
>>551911479Mine had little regards for how I felt.I end up enjoying fantasizing about it more than I enjoyed the real deal.
>>551913046I hope you got a better girlfriend in time anon
>>551913147I stopped looking for one. It's a long story, and it ends up with me in the hospital for a month, depression, and a lot of suicidal thoughts.
okay that was a one off you don't need to tell me your life story
>>551912781Wooden Ocean niggas be like
>>551913330>and it ends up with me in the hospital for a monthYou were there why? Did you heal at least?
>>551913990Slipped and broke my hand.Kinda, I skipped reeducation so I have trouble closing my hand.I'm just not well at all right now, I keep breaking down, getting cheered up, feeling better, and after a while, breaking down again. Sorry.Anyway, indie games. Man O'War Corsair's pretty fun.

>>551915630I hate that so much. Like i can see with my own eyes that what happened is cool as shit, no need to ruin it in order to make sure the audience understands that what happened is, indeed, very cool.Also I've bought a rangefinder camera today and it arrived broken, I'm very upset, don't remind me

Bad dog!
alright, 200 levels cleared. nice milestone.besides full clearing the garden i only have 4 hidden achievements left.I also just stepped into the META world.
>>551921976>spoilersprepare your asshole
>>551922140bro this game came out forever ago
>>551921976>spoilerslolThe pain just started.
>>551922202bro your reading comprehension?
>>551922451oooh.yeah okay.
I can see the future. I see. I see!Rune factory 6 will have a dragon loli. Yes, I see. I see... She was almost marriageable but her dlc was cancelled. I see... I see the future... She was already fully written, translated and acted but she was cut last minute. Ah. That will be 25 million gold. I see. I see... I see you trying to run away from your debt you little prick! PAY UP!
>>551924179Don't do this to me, mate.
>>551922140>>551922363nah, it's easy. look. the flag is right there and it's win :^)
>>551928868BABA is LEVEL?
>>551928868I remember this one being a complete mindfuck
>>551928868Flag can't be win because flag is flag
>>551929404that is the goal(or rather level is baba).The problem is as soon as you try to grab the BABA you push the IS into "LAVA is MORE and DEFEAT and STOP" so the lava starts spreading and killing you. Also you can't walk near the ghosts or you just cease.so you have to block that all off somehow beforehand. Which is currently the part that gives me trouble.>>551929446My brain's too toast. i need some sleep for this lmao.>>551930064nah. X is X doesn't stop that. FLAG is FLAG just stops me from doing FLAG is TEXT. you can still attach words to them with a solid background.you can in fact simply grab the flag and win the stage. the problem is winning the stage does nothing on the stage select so you have to do some shenanigans that manipulate the level tile instead.
>>551928868>>551929404>baba is taxed>taxed is more and stop>text is empty>you is shift>you is winYou need to help baba file taxes, anon.
>>551930406>the lava starts spreadingOh, that's what "more" does.Yeah, sorry, I give up. The belt definitely has something to do with this, but I'm lost.
>>551930406>>551930064the game is also kind enough to tell you when you have an illegal statement.
>>551905470well, its set in the future
>>551930707My ass it's kind.
I felt like finally giving backpack hero a go but reading the reviews they say the game sucks now and that the balance updates ruined the gameIs this true?
>>551903380i drove that lil nigga til i got the akira bike too
Almost done with the busts in the staircase, gotta say this little riddle was a lot of fun.Unfortunately I don't have the patience to consider every item and read every single description, but I assume there is loads of little snippets of information hidden out there. It'll probably slowly settle into place in subsequent playthroughs, like it did with CultSim
anyone else think ball x pit didn't know what it wanted to do?all of the item combinations feel like pants. like combining the 3x3 aoe ball with the line aoe ball doesn't create a 3 wide line? and all but ~5 or so passives were useless. the dev was scared of the player getting too powerful in the actual game part.it felt like they just wanted the players to focus on grinding out town upgrades and getting strong via pure stats - the gameplay was an afterthought.
Please. If any of you are gamedevs or aspiring game devs, ditch the boss fight crutch. It's soooooo fucking played out. I'm playing Environmental Station Alpha and these faggot ass boss fights are so tedious. I've been playing the same sloppy Simon Says simulators for three decades. Rain World should have caused a revolution in the inde game scene. Everyone should have had No Boss Fight Clarity after playing it. Shit has me so frustrated I'm borderline gonna make a god damn youtube video essay on it.
>>551953106>gonna make a god damn youtube video essay on it
>>551953106>>551953270>I'm borderline gonna make a god damn youtube video essay on itI feel the same on some other topics, but I suck at writing and recording scripts. NO idea how to tie my thoughts together or make them into a wider point.I even just started writing a few times but it never materializes
>>551954702Just look up resources on how to write a college essay - persuasive or informative. That's literally all these YouTube guys are doing.
>>551953106ESA is a masterclass in metroidvania fun boss design, you are just a fucking shitter
>>551955278>implying their scripts arent genned sloppaGet on with the times, gramps.
>>551954702I've written a few scripts and even got 1/3 into production of one but i couldn't finish because of issues related to VA and due to getting sick. Writing is actually the most fun part of the process, everything else is very tedious.
>>551955524Peep the review ratio on steam and see what they don't like about the game. Turns out most people don't play Metroidvanias for Dark Souls 3 tier slop fights.
>>551955278Fair enough.I majored in STEM so all of the papers I've written are dry and boring and not quite what I'd want to do for fun>>551955972I personally love video editing. Finding fitting gameplay and doing fancy match cuts is something I could to all day, but I rarely ever get to that part of production.
>>551956014>if a boss fight takes more than your first attempt to beat it's a "Dark Souls 3 tier slop fights"Christ, how do retards like you even get into videogames?The game has like 1 tricky boss fight that might take you like 5 attemptsMost reviews complain about the exploration and the controls btw(they are retarded)
>>551953106You sound like a faggot.
Bumpo
>>5519834272028 president material right there
>>551980821Good in-between game for Halloween and Thanksgiving, nothing scarier than human bodies with a turkey cut.
>>551953106>Environmental Station AlphaIt's not the boss fights that are making it a tedious and bad game, it's that it's a tedious and bad game in general - bosses or not. I'm still mad at that game, no redeeming qualities.
