First post for Carol.
>>552140608What you drinking (and playing) while celebrating the new year?
>>552140978Damn you. I wanted to be the designated Carol post of the final thread of the year.
>>552140994>What you drinking (and playing) while celebrating the new year?Herbal infusion while playing modded Cataclysm: Bright Nights.I may Henry post later though.
>>552140994The Last SovereignProbably have some fireball later.
>>552142379looks neat
>>552140994I'm WORKINGBut I have tomorrow off. I'll have some champagne tonight and play Wooden Ocean.
>>552140994This gif kinda makes me wanna replay Bioshock [X]...
>>552140994My mental health seems to be good enough this year to go to a friend's place to celebrate. Gonna have some beers, hopefully also a nice whiskey.I rarely get hangovers anymore but I'm still tired as fuck on days after staying up late and drinking so I think I'll probably impulse buy something from my wishlist and spend all of tomorrow playing that while waiting for bedtime
>>552143163>>552142379I remember reading about this on tvtropes where the yact like its some hidden gem with a deep story and I tried it and its exactly like your screenshots. Just "horny dude wrote this" energy 24/7
>>552146003Ya, it reads like fan fiction. But written by someone who also wanted to write a book about fantasy politics.

>>552150164How far were you last you played? The cut scenes were mostly mute past Oasis greemhouse, but new voices got added.
>>552147776It's funny how much of a universal experience that is.I remember the exact same thing happening to me not 6 month ago and me posting about it and getting this exact response >>552147947I bet I could find the post in the archives if I wanted to
>>552148880alright, saw the credits again. that's a wrap not really though, i still have a couple levels leftGood puzzle game.
>>552150403>How far were you last you played?Inferno Valley.
>>552140994>What you drinkingGot a smoothie blender for Christmas, so I've been chugging a frankly irresponsible amount of smoothies for the past few days
>>552151772Oh that's only like an hour or hour and a half from start. Just keep going champ.Reminded me that the Breezy Meadows, that is right after the valley, was also mute because it was added later, but before new voices.You won't be missing much of anything.The only big addition before Inferno Valley would be an RV prop at Meng's campsite that was added in sometime before 1.0 release.

voin has great gameplay but the menus and upgrade system got me fucked up
>>552166048>incestous monarchskek, let's not get too realistic.
I can't believe Ultrakill still isn't done yet. It began early access in September 2020.
>>552166472Once you get it its pretty neat, I recall having an hammer which damage would augment the more I walked, gave me super speed and would do more damage on the first strike. Basically a berseker grug smash to start everyfight with.
>>552167628Isn't Ultrakill a pretty straightforward shooter?How much time do you need to develop it?
>>552167854>unlock sword called the rose>special ability is a special move when you use a power>the sword does not come with said power>how do you get the power? don't knowthat and all the different colors of numbers in the equipment menu without any goddamn explanations

The ESA boss fights are such unfun cancer that I've found myself in secret areas I'm 99% sure I'm not supposed to be in yet. Yeah, well, I'd rather do insane platforming puzzles I'm not supposed to be doing than do another Fromslop 5 phased struggle session boss fight. Hopefully I can find some broken power up in here that trivializes the fight (I doubt I will)

found the third orb and got access to the gallery.Apparently i am not done with the ??? and meta regions but I'll leave it at that for now.Have a happy new years.
>>552174394ESA 2 never ever
>>552174520
>>552174748Good. The dev needs to play through Animal Well and Rain World a dozen times each so he get it through his think skull that he doesn't need to bloat his game with fromslop fights anymore. Nobody plays metroidbrainias and says, "fuck, I wish there were Elden Ring fights to block me from exploring."
>>552174520>implying a modder will be a parent, let alone a grandparent
love it when i get stuck in an indie game but there's no walkthrough because i'm the only person on the planet that played it
Happy new year indie. We manage to survive another year to the gacha onslaught.>>552174520I wish.>>552165779Alright alright. You win, I will play it.
>>552172993Apparently it's more because they unpacked all the files to allow for mod support

>>552174740I want to play more Baba but I refuse to look up hints and I'm pretty fucking stuck on some of the meta stuff.
man I'm tempted to try Void Stranger because it seems cool and I like ZeroRanger but I don't really play puzzle games, quit Snakebird less than 20 levels in and Baba at rocket world.
>>552180738yeah, i just don't know where or what my missing levels even are at this point and no clue what for or how i could do the X IS LEVEL in those regions. But i also don't wanna look up hints.>>552181628man, void stranger was such a good puzzle game it was the first time i made my own spreadsheet for a game.But yeah. if you can't vibe with puzzlers it's probably not for you.I should also really play ZeroRanger at some point.
>>552182571if you have any interest in shmups beyond ZeroRanger I can really recommend this one, https://shmups.wiki/library/Cho_Ren_Sha_68K#Downloadit's the Cave Story of shmups pretty much, easier to clear than ZeroRanger as well
>>552185580>>552182571oh and how could I forget, >ZeroRanger contains several references to Cho Ren Sha
>>552179335Same difference really.>change large files in a way that prevents simple diff updates>everyone has to redownload everything>despite nothing changingAnother example is clueless unity/unreal devs setting up their projects so the asset packages are encrypted (pointless) and the encryption key changes every time they build the game (pointless AND retarded) so any file they've touched has to be completely redownloaded every update despite the file contents remaining mostly identical once decrypted.
>>552186739>>despite nothing changingApparently a bunch of stuff changed.
Is everything interactive reachable in this game? Like the blue fruit here, I can't seem to get enough momentum swimming up from the tunnel.
>>552174394you just fucking suck at videogames, every fight except the final boss needs 2-3 attempts tops
>>552187157I mean it's all the same eggs, they just moved them from a wicker basket to egg carton.
>>552187816Yeah but now you can paint the eggs
>>552187976Yeah.
>>552187713l33t humble bragging mimic tearless zoomergawd post aside, what do they add to the game? Nothing. You are just pavlovian conditioned into craving them. How about the dev just racks his brain to create more interesting puzzles, secrets, or even challenging overworld encounters that aren't a hackneyed Simon Says session? Nah, that would require brain power and creativity.
>>552187157>still no voice acting or multiplayer
I played a little bit of Citadel. The sound design could be better, the UI isn't easily read and the shotgun seems to be of the all-or-nothing variety. I usually like a mix of death and eroticism, but the anime faces clash hard against the gore in a way that doesn't do it for me. Maybe my heart will from grow playing this.It still has a lot of things that I like in FPS games. You don't have to aim down sights, you can lean and look at your sexy legs, the game starts without much of a tutorial, and it's filled with 90s industrial cubescapes. The combat is fast and thoughtful enough that I'll probably finish the game, even if the core mechanics seem a little too simple.
>>552187274I think its possible if you use one of the black jet squids. You might have to let go of it as you jump out of the water and then walljump up the rest of the way. You could also wait for the rain to come, which raises the water level in fully indoor rooms like this one. You would obviously have to rush to the nearest shelter asap

Just finished this.God it's fun.Anyone else? What ending did you choose?
>>552199014What game is this? Is it like Dragon Age?
>>552188492It's not humble bragging, I'm not good at videogames.You are just dogshit and seething about it, so you want them to make the game worse for everyone just so you stop feeling challenged.>What do they add to the gameThey are fun if well designed(like ESA).The game would be worse off if it was less fun(without fun boss fights).Boss fights are the essence of videogames.If you don't like them you don't actually like videogames, and if you want them gone you directly stand with the crowd of barely sentient gaming journalists that have nearly ruined videogames as a whole because they are too "gamey".The very fact that you think that such a basic videogame element such as boss fights are "fromslop" as if they invented them only shows how mind-boggingly retarded you are.
>>552200270Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It's a medieval game set in 15th century Bohemia with absolutely zero magic.Case in point this quest which is about three woman trying to summon the devil, but is really just getting themselves and you high on some "magical" ointment. The three animals you can "lockpick" is the three women and you are just having a bad trip.The best part is that after everything is done and it's pretty obvious that it was all just a hallucination, the mc still believes that it was a demon summoning, because he's 15th century peasant and doesn't know any better.
>>552200670>Boss fights are the essence of videogames.Your mind is fucked. This is like saying guitar solos are the essence of music. They haven't even been in fashion for like three decades.>They are fun if well designed(like ESA).There hasn't been a single groundbreaking or worthwhile boss fight yet. They all are extremely generic and too long that exist as a roadblock to the exploration, aka the reason you play a game like this in the first place. >muh games journalismYou know there are plenty of games that are more difficult that have zero boss fights? See Rain World. >The very fact that you think that such a basic videogame element such as boss fights are "fromslop"They have popularized the cancerous the tedious Simon Says type fights with multiple phases. These aren't metroid or megaman fights that are beaten once you understand a gimmick. These are 3 phased dance recitals you are forced to play out in a specific way. There's no player creativity or agency. It's "Do what I say or die". It's boring and gay.
>>552202640>but muh Rain World>but muh Animal wellHow about you play more videogames?And they only went out of fashion because people who don't actually like videogames(like you) got into videogames and forced them to adapt to your tastes, fucking over the original audience>They have popularized the cancerous the tedious Simon Says type fights with multiple phasesMaybe if you had played more videogames then you would know that those kind of boss fights were super common for decades(and that is what ESA was replicating, not fucking dark souls)
>>552204574>How about you play more videogames?I've played plenty. It's actually mind boggling that people can stomach playing the same exact shit seven million+ times. Do you really need to fight variations on Artorias for the rest of your life? Are you not bored? I am. I want to see video games devs do other things.
>>552204574>those kind of boss fights were super common for decades(and that is what ESA was replicatingyeah and they are bad, they were copying action movies, (which is why they are called bosses in the first place) not adding them because they made the game better
IMO boss fights still have their place in some simple formulaic genres.But it's always sad to see cargo cult designers try to include boss fights no matter how bad they are and how poorly they fit the game's overall systems design.The problem with boss fights is actually similar to RPG quests. Both are gamified "features" that have a rather strict expectations for their design. Those cultural expectations often make them worse, more formulaic. But if you make something different, braindead mainstream gamers will get confused.It's funny that games can be anything, yet so many expectations for them are strictly codified in gamer culture.There are two caricatures of gamers. The old school nerds who witnessed the entire x86 hardware evolution span, saw the establishment of all video gaming genres and still crave originality, new experiences. And then there's the normalfags and other dumb outsiders who want the same shit with new paintjob. They crave the familiar, yet another samey grind for cheevos in familiar steam stats, unlocking collectables like always, ticking boxes in familiar quest logs.

Okay, seriously. This game BTFO'd Mario Odyssey the same year it came out, and I only just got it recently. Mario Odyssey is seriously the most boring Mario game I've ever played in my life. I got it at launch with my own switch as well. The game feels like a constant, self-indulgent masturbatory advertisement for Nintendo while you collect the equivalent of coins but with an annoying animation attached to it. AHIT got everything right. Way more clever, funny, charming, better art style, characters, story, everything. The only people that would honestly disagree with this are people that have Nintendo's jizz in their brain from their cock going so far down their throat that the semen splashed upwards into their brain cavity.
>>552162719Yeah that was my impression too, but I could have sworn I remember reading a text that claimed that the gods-from-blood were the oldest ones
>>552143401>I rarely get hangovers anymoreI might have been wrongouch
>>552140994Blueberry Green Tea and Endless Sky. A spaceport mission paid me 300k to take out a pirate and I can't seem to find the base ship in the shipyard menu, so I'm guessing it's a special pirate ship. It'll get stored somewhere as I don't wanna sell it, but I just got back from Hai Space and changed up my fleet and damn is it slow in comparison.
Done with SlitterheadIt's such a fucking mess in every aspect but i ended up liking it anywayalso the game ends on a sequelbait but it's pretty sure the game sold like ass
>>552220813This is someone's fetish.
>>552220813>also the game ends on a sequelbait but it's pretty sure the game sold like assunfortunately true in many cases. my goty actually scares me because it ends on sequel bait but the sales just aren't good, cross blitz
>>552220536Wait isn't that a common ship? The silhouette is familiar.
>>552181628if you're really put off by puzzle games/sokoban you won't enjoy void strangerbut it is an absolutely amazing game
>>552194275friends of mine have played the shit out of muse dash, haven't tried it myselfi think art of rally gets posted here now and then?
>>552221392I don't know, it might be, but this is my first playthrough. Some other anon told me I've barely scratched the surface. I'm inclined to believe it as I've got a border around human space of unexplored systems with seemingly no way to get to them. I'm not sure when they showed up exactly, but I think it was when I visited that ring in the south end of hai space and had a nice discussion as a tourist with a local.
Wooden Ocean niggas (actual spoilers):I've accidentally hit the end game and presumable point of no return. I am certain I can't beat the final boss; I can't even get to her so far. Is there any way back out or do I have to go into NG+?
>>552228579Oh, the Mammoth is a pirate variant of another more common ship.Behemoth is the ship I was thinking of. I've used it as my first "real" ship a few times in early game

>>552181628its one of my favourite games ever, the sokoban is babby tier though (for the ~main~ game at least) compared to baba, youll be fine. the meta stuff is the good bit
played the first couple of hours of signalis, im sucked in already. feels like its gonna be great.
>>552217687>even had ip tracking on his websiteuh, yeah, hate to break it to you but that's a thing literally every website does.

>>552244118giftless lillie is kinda fucked up but you can also just not do it
>>552218482That game feels like it was explicitly made for steaming rather than normal play.
>>552220813would
>>552230532You're fucked unless you can get past the forest and to the grinding well. Going NG+ is fine. You get like a 100x exp multi and your town gets a multi too.
>>552252034Also make sure you didn't miss the talent crystal in the hub. Lots of people tend to miss it and are just sitting on like 5 points.

happy new year fags and faguettesI managed to get enough centipedes to sleep through the shelter in the leg from 0 pips after shambling through the shaded citadel and I'm gonna go up the leg to snack on a neuron because fuck doing the thing in the dark againprobably better to eat one of moon's and then just bring it back after swallowing it reallyI love big smurfette but I am not dealing with that eye strain again, she shouldn't hate me if we do a 1 to 1 exchange anyway, right?Also is restarting the cycle a handful of times to get a better rain cycle length considered an exploit or just a powergaymer thingI would die to rain getting from shaded to the leg often before I realized how the passages worked so I just noticed that a couple times I would get more balls around the symbol randomly if I quit and started againthere's apparently an option in remix to lock the cycles to a specific non-random number so it's definitely known, but that's hardly an issue and I'm planning on playing with remix only after beating the game normally
>>552252034>>552252129So if I get through the forest there's hope? I can probably manage then. I've hoarded almost every item that provides some sort of resistance for the entire game and I can have any kind of Ghost. Thanks m8.Seriously though, goddamn it. I still had places to explore - I didn't even get into the fucking Hotel! I'm not at all keen on talking to all those motherfuckers in Lasik and Lampless again, either.I'd have brought a lot more money with me if I'd known. I've got like 800k in my account but only about 35k in my pockets.
>>552258159That's pretty unlucky, the dev even made the two bosses before the point of no return much harder to try mitigate this from happening. Just to be clear, you're past the extractor?
>>552258379Oh, you just said as much The endgame is rough. I was stuck there for 30hrs on normal. I got there at lv90 and finished around 140. I believe he made things. A bit easier since then. For the forest boss you probably just want to tank up and let the others do work. Get ready for a bigger slog after that. I think my winning run on the final boss was maybe a 30-40min fight. No idea how it plays now since the status resistance formula has been changed a few times since then.you'll want a thread ghost.
>>552255275Did you just not read the entry on alchemy in the codex?It outright states that the devs took some liberties due to gameplay reasons. The potions are really just regular herbal remedies as far as the story is concerned and only called magic due to superstition.
>big blue spiders and white lizardsfuck me in the ass this is pain
>>552260340spoilering an image without context of what it is from is meaningless.Should I get FTL for mods? I pirated vanilla for 50-100 hours already.
>>552261403it would have been only a spoiler if you read the text, gotten a clue and then subsequently looked at the imageand I kept the original filename so that would have clued you in for the game but I get what you mean
>>552261839Nigga instead of coming up with convoluted excuses just say which game it is next time. I already beat rain world years ago, it's not for me.
>>552260024So it's as good as magic but they ask for forgiveness so it's now not magic.
>>552262870why are you already being a grumpy gus on the first of the year about opening a spoiler you didn't care for
>>552263258>why are you already being a grumpy gusI'll join him in calling you a fucking retard
>>552262985Exactly.Like a person being able to go full sprint while carrying 300lbs of loot up his ass.Or people going from scrawny to Olympic athlete in a few days.Or ordinary soldiers being able to heal bullet wounds in seconds.Or a construction worker laying down a house in 10 seconds.
>>552252781how is it? i was thinking about picking it up recently.
>>552264556It's great, honestly. As someone who's never played a Stalker game but only seen videos, I like it a lot. It's still a work in progress, some tunnels aren't accessible yet, and the northern part of the map is really sparse, but right now, it's got a lot to discover if you're into that and immersive sims.I like to personally wait for night and creep around enemy bases or ruins to forage for loot. Best feeling ever when an enemy walks right past me as i'm looking straight at them with NVGs on.I've done my best to not look at the steam forums and just have a completely blind experience until now after like 50 hours and it seems i'm at the end of current "quest" content. As it is, only thing left to do now is explore the handful of "dungeons" in the current beta and hunt for artifacts. Only advice is to maybe do the same, know that you don't need to kill every enemy you come across, and if you hear sirens, get to shelter immediately.I'll probably make a new character and start a new run when I get bored, but right now my main goal is to pay off my debt (until I get bored) and find a helmet that has both a heads up display and NVGs (to have a HUD while playing you need a headset that specifically says it has HUD displaying capabilities)
i will reinstall this (tokyo 42)if you've played ruiner, the narrator girl wears a tokyo 42 pin on her jacket

Anyone in here keeping up with Gloomwood? How far is it in terms of coming out in 1.0?
Bless wiz's autism
Should I buy the kingdom hearts remasters or should I just emulate them?
>>552275875Can't wait for someone to mod billboards for Veiler strip joints in
>get out of shelter>this guy literally spawned on the ceiling outside the roomCool.also if neurons always respawn and rain never happens how come there's no natural mobs here? Is it because of the blue spiders? because if so I get it, but there's actually not that many overall.
>>552219391The ost is pure kino, The Big Parade and Trainwreck of Electro Swing lives rent free in my head since I first played the game years ago.
>>552219391Hat in Time is the only 3D platformer that I actually enjoyed.And not just because hat kid is small and bulliable and the smut books write themselves, the gameplay is actually solid and she goes where you want.

>>552284151It's a good game, Sir.
>>552283539Oh boy.Tomb Raider 2.Gex 3D : Enter the Gecko.Gex : Deep Cover Gecko.Akuji the Heartless.Hyperdimension Neptunia VII: Neplunker mini-game.Sonic Adventures 2 Battle.Super Mario Sunshine.Super Mario 64 (PC).Onirism (kinda, more of a shooter).And probably a lot more I forgot. Like Deathtrap Dungeons, if it counts? Or these... mediocre 3D Rayman games.>>552284151Seriously? Yes. Very good gameplay, very nice music, a kinda attaching cast, and even the mandatory spooky level to scare you.
>>552284151Do it, especially if you like platformers, it's one of the best I've ever played, you can tell it was made with genuine love for the genre from start to end, it's one of those games that even my burnt-out cynical ass can't help but love to death. Also its 50% right now.
>>552187157Does this mean the game finally works instead of chugging along at 5 fps for no discernible reason?
>>552284274>SM64 le bad>rayman 2 le badpleb take
>>552284151nah.
>>552284151Are 3D platformers your thing? It's a good game.Are 3D platformers not your thing? It's still a pretty good game.
>>552207026This shit is exactly why I found Metro Exodus to be an utterly horrid experience, I genuinely want to slap whichever chucklefuck thought that putting bosses in a fucking stealth fps was a good idea, especially the bear which entire fight is basically just running back every few secs to pop a few bullets for like 10 minutes while dodging the constantly charging asshole and getting stuck in inch high ground clutter, and then curb stomp the fucker into paste for making us fight the fucking thing TWICE with no change at all in gameplay.I havent played in years and im still mad as hell about it.
>>552207026>But it's always sad to see cargo cult designers try to include boss fights no matter how bad they are and how poorly they fit the game's overall systems design.This is the way I feel about open worlds and fast travel.If your open world is a backdrop at best, why even have it?
>>552258379>>552258869>I got there at lv90 and finished around 140Haha, shit. I'm at 71-70 and I'm playing on Hard. The boss right before the Extractor took some doing, but I got it first try. Worst of all, I actually did have some worry that I wouldn't be able to back out so I intentionally avoided saving - until I got to the Servant merchant. I bought some stuff and then hit the orb immediately out of sheer muscle memory.
>>552284151I bounced off it.
>>552291310Man I should replay Exodus. I don't remember the bear, only remember the ending and the loli.
>>552284679It runs at a sixty frames consistent for me now.
>>552291871I'm the type of guy, who loves walking around to see the sights and to find interesting places in video games.But eventually every area will lose its shine and I don't want to run through the same patch of road for the fiftieth time.
>>552293350Same, kinda. I don't say that fast travel doesn't have its purpose, but I prefer if it's built into the game world for instance and it only works from and to designated places and maybe costs you resources.And it also comes down to quest and level design. Some places are fun to walk through even for the 20th time and how quickly the back and forth becomes repetitive can be heavily influenced by the quest design.I personally play games without using fast travel pretty much out of habit at this point (I'm pretty sure there were a few games I didn't even know had it)
>>552292230Very unlucky. What level were you when you fought demon door viii? I was around 50, but he buffed it a bunch since then.
>>552294241That's the one in PoB's basement, right? Violet was at 70 and went to 71, the other lads went 69 to 70. It went down very easily to getting Gouge'd. How'd you cop so many levels on your way to the extractor?
>>552292374I thought the main character was supposed to be the one to bounce on it
Is FTL worth it for the mods? I already pirated vanilla for 50-100 hours since launch.
>>552294725Wait, if you were 70 at the extractor, you shouldn't still be 70. You should have gained a bunch of levels after that scene. That's how I jumped from 50s to 90 or whatever.
>>552295008try asking >>552261403 he had the same question
>>552295008How do you post on the internet if you're too poor to afford coffee?
>>552295008If you just like more content for your FTL experience then multiverse and it's submods can get you content.
>>552295156Who said I was?you don't get bakery cakes 5 times a month even though you can probably afford them.
>>552295358broke ass nigga reply
>>552294038I try to avoid fast travel in too, but I will eventually use it.And quest design is definitely a problem for some games. In too many games you have to run back and forth to your quest giver to report them and get back your next objective. Why not just send out an extra npc who you can report to, so you can get on with your quests?
>>552142754>dev recommending new playthroughs for february's updateoh boy oh man oh god i may as well wait until then to really get started huhplaying WO made me find another dead RPGMaker game in my library that I need to check out Forever Home
>High Halls GauntletWho the fuck okayed this? Genuinely. Which one of those aussie pricks is getting a visit. Absolute fucking cancer.
>>552297927>In too many games you have to run back and forth to your quest giver to report them and get back your next objectiveThe New Vegas quest with the ghouls in the space center next to Novac is a prime example how not to do that. I remember even the devs admitted in an interview that it's probably the worst quest in the game and part of the reason is that it was the very first one they designed.
>>552298092Im sure you can knock it out in a month. You can always back up the game and play "offline". The new update will just be a new area in one town and card game additions. It requires editing the scripts which makes old saves break.
games where i can play as a centaur?only know of the undead dude from league of legends
>>552301791In Elin you can, but I never tried it. Centaurs give me the ick, same with mermaids or harpies or any other half animal half human.
This feels like a bit of an exploit. Using a book to open up the language slot to push me over the edge for Edge requirement. But I found it myself so I'm not ashamed of using it
>>552303264is the language slot not open without a book? i thought desks just had it by default
>>552304132The extra slot is for inks.
>>552304132Nah the language slots only appears when you put in a book that requires a language
>>552304815that's the with slot that takes inks. maybe it's just five slots by default at a desk?
That last part is new since Cultist Simulator isn't it?Is it because I ate his remains? I was real hungry, sorry.
>>552306197i don't know if it's being eaten specifically but yeah it's implied to be because he got summoned during CS and had a bad timeworth mentioning that his summon cooldown state in CS is also him sulking
Paper mario 64 or TTYD? My nostalgia lies with TTYD but I've never played 64.
>>552306734anon this is indie, not nintie.
>>552301791Caves of Qud. One of the premade character presets is a centaur iirc.
>>552295085Oh shit, you're right. I'm up to 100-110 for my main 3. I somehow completely missed that, despite Alex mentioning that we're stronger.I also DID miss the talent crystal. I've got 5 points - could go for big stat increases or resistances + defense for metal, carbon, or psychic. What do you think will help more?
>>552306919you have to go back to your hole
>>552306658Are you sure you're not confusing it with Ezeem? I remember specifically taking a mental note of that because how funny that description was to me and how well it encapsulates the humor in AK's work. It's kinda subtle, doesn't insist on it self and only works because of the overall tone of the rest of the game.Either way I definitely love this sort of continuity between the games. Same for reoccurring characters
>>552306945Get the radiation immunity if you havent. otherwise you probably just want stats. if you happen to be at any of the green nodes those are worth the 3 TP. maybe the talent that removes the ghost debuff, since you'll want a ghost.
>>552306841Misc game general.
>>552306919>centaurIsn't Qud player mutation system just a formless blob with extra parts? Even if you grow 2 extra legs there's about horse-like body. You still have humanoid sprite and extra limbs are just abstract stat buffs and equipment slots.
>>552307620If you choose the centaur premade then you'll visually be a centaur.But yes it's mostly just amorphous stats and an extra foot slot. And if you mutate multiple legs later, you'll need the mod that lets you change your sprite.
>>552306157That's what I meant. You probably remembered that desks had 5 slots by default and confused it with Consider's extra language slot which is also the 5th. And 6th for desks.
Speaking of reoccurring characters I'm ashamed to say it didn't click for me that this is the Weary Detective until someone told me. What a nice fellow, I feel sorry for killing him a couple of times in CultSim.I'd love to have him work at my Lighthouse to be honest, but it sounds like he'd really rather just retire to a quiet life
I'm playing asscreed Valhalla. Yeah yeah, I know >playing ass creed in current yeahrBut it was a gift, I'm kinda obligated to give it a fair shake. Does anybody know by chance: How difficult is it to get upgrade materials? I'm playing with everything on the highest difficulty, can I just max upgrade whatever weapon and armor I find I fancy and be fine? Or do I need to be conservative with the materials and only upgrade what I really plan to use for a long time?

I always imagined my librarian to be more of a Lantern person, but I guess fate has other plans for her>>552312079Oh I see. I never fucked much with the rival system to be honest.I definitely need to invite him more often>>552313378Yeah, I even wasn't sure if I wanted to call it "humor", I'm sure to someone who hasn't played the game those wouldn't even register as funny but juxtaposed against the rest of the game it's just perfect.And as I said, it doesn't insist on itself. Regardless of if you think it's funny or not it just moves on I'm sure that takes some restraints at times.Another one I love is "Delicious when cooked, alarming when dropped." for the Hen's Egg description

>>552307334Yeah, I'm good. Made it to the grinding well; time for grinding.Fuck Fate Y btw
>>552315086Ever since the pastebin died I've just been copying the OP from last thread. This one isn't mine and I think neither was the previous one
>>552314435Dude, all I fucking did was come in and ask about ass-creed. Now I'm being accused of same fagging with god knows who. Fuck off, lmao. Take your meds.
>>552315470not a roguelike.
>>552315356Here, use this pastebin https://pastebin.com/iwqwpPQ5
>>552314985I mean it doesn't happen all the time. Just when some sperg is active in the thread. We have plenty of times someone asks about, I dunno, an old need for speed game, or Outer Worlds, or Bloodlines or some other shit that is technically not indie but also not popular enough to have it's own thread, and it's fine. /indie/ is usually full of nice people, happy to accept any misc game that doesn't warrant having it's own thread any more. I mean fuck, the thread is called "/indie/ - Indie & Misc. Games General" & MISC is in the title.But like I said, sometimes you get someone who comes in, pisses and shits their pants because something isn't actually indie. Just like sometimes people shit and piss their pants if you dare to call Isaac a roguelike. My mistake was to not just ignore the spastic and let him have his tanty.
>>552301791may allah forgive me for saying this but, dota
>>552314985>but is THIS really a hill worth dying on?It's free bumps.
>>552316059>but also not popular enough to have it's own threadHonestly if you ask me, sometimes it's even fine to talk about games that do have their own general for a few posts, especially if it's relevant to some other conversation or you just don't like that general, as long as it doesn't take up the whole bandwidth.I've seen people talk about Factorio, Elder Scrolls and Fallout here and I don't see a problem with that if it doesn't become the norm. It's just the nature of threads like this that aren't dedicated to a single game or franchise
>>552315291Good luck anon. Remember, every bit of damage you do will make the next hit hit just a bit harder. so just stay alive and spam statuses and chip away at them. Reducing stats is how you increase your odds of landing debuffs.
>>552283035No she doesn't. The game is super clunky and you're trying to fight with her to move.
>>552314472Speaking of hens and eggs. These cracked me up.>Terrence, the Chicken>Was this magnificent and indomitable beast named for the rector's indomitable and magnificent housekeeper? Best not to inquire too closely.>Tuppence, the Other Chicken>Tuppence's most notable quality, all observers will agree, is that she is not Terrence.Actually now that I think about it all beasts had joking descriptions
>>552317540I love how Terrence has ever so slightly better stats too. Also this makes me feel a little bad for Tuppence every time I got get eggs, because I always gravitate towards Terrence
A friend reminded me that section 13(which I swear went by a different name before) came out of early access and we've been playing it with a 3rd buddy. Isometric view shooter/twin stick shooter. Honestly pretty solid, not something I recommend but it can be fun to the right people. One of the roguelikes I've seen with very limited options in healing Main issue is just a lack of variety in runs and some weird design choices. Its online mode unlocks all 4 characters for play but you can't unlock characters for single-player in online mode. Online mode also ups enemy HP by a hell of a lot even if you're playing solo.
