>>554882909Care enough to complain.
>>554871072if I may interject for a moment, asking genuinely from someone who doesn't care about vtatersthat clip just isn't as inherently funny as you promised it would beit's an animation of an anime dog girl looking at fire in a beaker saying "water into fire, not understand!" with a very heavy accentI'm not aware if Is she is doing a character or if this is her regular voicewhat is there to find funny in that clipare you amused by her reactionI can only imagine someone thought this was the epitome of modern comedy to warrant actually animating that to give it context, given that the original would just have been the vtuber avatar talking about something she was playingthis isn't even the undiagnosed autism talking, there is nothing amusing about this clip or the minecraft oneI will remain completely and utterly unable to understand what compels people to watch these things, and I think a lot of other people feel similarly about thisplease do us a favor and don't bring this up again
>>554883454>this isn't even the undiagnosed autism talkingRiiiight.
>>554883596See, that is what we in the biz call a jokethat said, I've made a honest try at understanding what compels you to watch that thing without brain damagewhat remains is the brain damageIt is okay to like to watch dumb shit that isn't funnyjust don't expect anyone to follow suit
>>554883454>there is nothing funny about thist. severely autistic man
>>554885545Forgive him, his dog died.
Diagnosed autist hereI don't find the clip funny but I'm not incapable of comprehending the appeal. Its a woman trying to be cute. What exactly is complex about that? Its like how if I flex my biceps womens eyes naturally follow them, then move to my face, then turn to disgust.

>>554892313That was the original version. There is a forked version that's in active development. They might be playing that even thought the original is what was linked last thread.

I wish billionaires with unreasonable amounts of money, would finance weird and obscure indie games with no hopes of success on the mass market instead of getting irresponsible people elected in a bid to lobby for their dubious political interests.the monkey's paw curls and they all have shit taste it probably doesn't even have to curl for that
>>554904801>x is not funny if it was y then you'd laughI wish I was as mentally stunted as you. You guys seem to be having a hell of a lot of fun.
>>554904810The last time we got a rich dude decide to make a video game, we got Kingdoms of Amalur. Turns out he didn't have quite enough money to make "an MMO but the quality of a single player".
I made a mistake letting him out.
>>554905000Yeah that's the thing I thought about, how do you even go about this and make sure you actually get a team of competent devs together and manage to focus in on a tight vision without constant scope creep.Because according to Wikipedia a game like GTA V had an estimated (inflation adjusted) budget of 333 Million (including marketing), which would be chump change for a billionaire and I'm sure you could make some good shit on that budget.
>>554904810Isn't that Bazaar or whatever it's called?
>tried to exchange the floor number (196) with number of locusts>trying to go down without changing the floor number crashed the game>changing the floor number after changing the number of locusts teleported me to floor 115MY HUBRIS KNOWS NO BOUNDS
>>554905956Props to you for figuring the HUD manipulation so early, most people don't until the game gives you a big hint about it.
>>554906640Oh, I found out by accident yesterday when I was getting frustrated with a level >>554817305 I also just found out that the brands you find on the walls don't actually work at chargen
>>554905369Hard to say. I mean game development is difficult. fags with an agenda will tell you that all it takes is not to be woke, to make a good game but as you can see by "chad vs the gay nazis". there seems to be more to it than just not being a lefty. I think shit video games are like shit movies: Nobody sets out to make something that is shit. Every shit project starts with good intentions. Everyone wants to make a good thing. But then comes the roadblocks: Publisher interference, Scope creep as you mentioned, not enough time for certain things, not enough money for certain things, good ideas that turn out to not work as well in actual gameplay, bad management, and lastly: good old "The people making it were just not as talented as they needed to be for this project". The last one I think gets overblown all of the time. Like, The last rocksteady game not being a single player experience but rather an always online open world multiplayer looter shooter with battle passes and games as a service model gets blamed a lot on them being "woke" or whatever, which in turn means "they're leftie so they can't create something good". But if you ask me, it more clearly is a case of publishers forcing them to do that for greed reasons. Like the Deus Ex reboot games. I doubt anyone in actually making the game thought selling skill points in an immersive sim for real money is a good Idea. That was publishers interference. So I don't think we need a benevolent billionaire, so much as we need to fix the goal of the AAA game industry being to make "the most amount of money physically possible".
>>554907524>So I don't think we need a benevolent billionaire, so much as we need to fix the goal of the AAA game industry being to make "the most amount of money physically possible".Well obviously the fantasy would be, that I am said benevolent billionaire and would get to make the games that I fantasize about in my head a reality.I mean since we're already knee deep in wishful thinking land. I think if I woke up tomorrow with a couple hundred billion bucks to my name, the first challenge would be just assembling a dev team. It's not like you can just put out a job listing, saying you're paying 100 Million for a dev team and expect not to get scammed.And the next problem, aside from what you mentioned, would just be to convey my vision to a team of creatives and have them execute it, while also being invested in it not feeling like their personal creative freedoms are being infringed on.Probably best bet would just be to seek out indie devs I like, put a wad of cash on their table and ask if they'd be down for a brainstorming session
Fucking hell Larxene was hard. I don't think there is truly a strat to beat her other than react and get a feel for what she's likely to do next. Spamming reflect when things get scary and avoiding to trigger her revenge mechanic at all cost was how I did it. Now time to finish tron's world.I'm already scared for the data version.
>>554904604yeah, there aren't
>>554909558I mean at that point it's just: "I wish someone would make freelancer 2" with extra steps.
My cute loli is finally a necromancer!
>>554915889Pretty much, with the caveat that I have the option of full creative control over it.Though I think my current project would be more along the lines of Stalker freeplay mods but good (and with a multi million dollar budget)
>>554916525>noeffortidlefaggot
>>554917735Anon you can just ask for good idle games. You don't have to bait people to reply to you with them by saying idle games suck.
>>554917735idle games are great once you get past a certain point where you can just leave it in the background and let it do its thing, there are a couple of idle games I just leave for a year or two and then comeback, basically work on it for a month, complete the game and then find a new one. Though I'd say the idle games that cost money and try to bait you with monetization are a plague on the industry. Most if not all idle games should be free or cost very little.
>>554919226Plus I mean: There's many games that are "low effort" or "low challenge". Satisfactory has basically zero challenge, and is in essence an idle game. You set up producers, you wait for them to produce. even factorio is like this. Yeah you have bug raids, but lets be honest, you are a way bigger threat to the bugs than they are to you. From the start of the game you can just research shotguns and grenades and you'll be walking through nearby nests like fucking judge dredd. The sims is beloved, and the biggest challenge in that is to not have you sim piss themselves. So what's the difference? In the end it's just a different type of game.
>>554918625>>554919226I'm also playing pic-related, but it is a tapping/iddle game for smartphone.I wish there were more interesting idle games. I've been going through Steam and itch.io and I think I played all the ones that may be fun for me. So I'm only left with the android games as a place I haven't looked for.
>>554921757Yeah, I'm always on the lookout for good new idle/incremental/clicker games, and sadly a lot of them are trash. It's even worse these days because the fact that they are incredibly easy to code with Ai, means the genre is hit just about the worst with vibe coded slop. (all these fags hoping for the downfall of the AAA industry thanks to vibe coders are in for the biggest fucking monkey paw of their life it happens). I've seen absolute fucking garbage. AI is great at putting the basics together, but it has no Idea what is reasonable balance. I've seen games that start out fine, and then suddenly to keep going you have to wait 20 minutes for no reason because your gain is too slow. (Imagine playing say Super Mario, but once you reach the flagpole you need to just sit there and wait 20 minutes). I've seen games where you can increase your production by +1, but the cost to do so doubles every upgrade, meaning within just a few upgraded you reach costs that you will not be able to make back up if you let the game running for YEARS. And don't get me started on the generic ass AI art. I could go on listing ways in which these games fucking suck and are unplayable. As for games I've enjoyed: "Siegeturtle" was kinda nice but comes with a price tag. It's "okay" not too amazing, but kinda cute. "Upload Labs" is free and a pretty decent clicker, "LORED" seems promising but isn't out yet, Bloobs Adventure Idle is great if you want that skill grinding idle, The Gnorp Apologue is pretty fun and currently one of the most copied style games, Idle Colony is basically Gnorp but from a different perspective, Unnamed Space Idle is one of the best f2p's you're gonna find on steam. Time Clickers is kinda fun, but it shits itself in the endgame. So does Time Warpers. The devs have a habit of starting games with great concepts that are incredibly fun to advance in, great pacing, great gains, and fun to watch, and then just piddle out.

>>554924008Ah yes, crank that sharpness up chief
>>554921757Have you tried Venture Capitalists? You probably played Cookie Clicker, There's two others that I don't remember the names of. One is a group of heroes you have in a formation and they kill enemies on screen, oh and Clicker Heroes 1 and 2. And there's also a handful of Hentai clickers but they aren't so much worth the time and take much longer to pay out.>>554924329I'm not the one playing that game.
>>554924329Those aren't me. I'm only >>554921757>>554925964>Have you tried Venture Capitalists?Yes. But they aren't my cup of tea.>>554923862I don't think the horrible balance is due to vibe coding(as some that vibe codes it simply is not possible), but intended balance to pad the fuck out of the game instead of making more content, which is a lot harder than +x^2.I'm also sick and tired of the soft cartoony styles, warcraft was one of the worst things to happen to western games.
>>554926476No, I can tell the difference between padded balancing and ass backwards "The machine spit it out like this and I didn't use a singular fucking braincell to consider if this was playable or not" coding. Padded balance is, well, padded. You can tell that it takes a bit longer than it should, but it's still clearly something a human has created because it fits within a reasonable human time-span. The vibe code slop, you can tell because it quickly becomes "wow, this is WAY too long" and if you wait it out it becomes: "Oh this is IMPOSSIBLY long". For instance: I recently played a game where you passively get +1 point per minute. To upgrade this to get another +1 per minute, it costs 1570 points. So if you had the points, the upgrade would pay for itself within just over 26 hours. And after you buy it, the praise for another 1+ becomes even steeper (by A LOT). No human balances this way. That's vibe coding balance. Because the machine doesn't get it. The machine doesn't know that this is unreasonable. And the lazy ass dev didn't bother to play his own god damn game without cheats to see if shit like this is in there. And you see this a lot. Games where you ask yourself: "Bro, have you even played your own game? This is absolutely unplayable". And the telltale sign is that usually the balance. Because the AI is great at making it look like a regular game, to make the UI and the getting around halfway decent, but the balancing requires that human hand that these devs lack.

>>554932232It's moot now, the update got reverted due to the audio getting broken.
>>554932437>update credits>audio breaksWhat...?
>>554928439That reminds me of the first and only vibecoded game I actually sat down to play. It was set up like one of those RPG battle idle games where you get items and level up and stuff, but the repeatable upgrades were like>increase damage by 0.1% >increase armour by 0.1%>increase max life by 0.1%>increase critical hit percent by 5%>increase critical hit damage by 30%>increase life regeneration by 10/sec (in a "game" where you start with about 30 max HP)A mix of completely useless and completely overpowered upgrades that the "dev" couldn't even be bothered to fiddle with before putting the game up online.
why is the fucking glass room brand so fucking hard to carve REEE
>>554934386apparently aside from credits changes they also tried updating the audio libraries and fucked it all up.i can only assume that they tested the update for about 5 minutes before dumping it unto the world.
>>554940054I don't see what needs to updated unless you are talking about the player they use to initiate music.
>>554940268>We've had some problems with our audio library and attempted to update it to solve those problems. It seems that the updated version created its own problems, so we've reverted it back now.is what they said on the steam discussions, I'm just the messenger.they also said:>As with any update we do, it'll come with some minor changes that build up over the years that haven't justified an update for their own sake. I don't have a change list of those small things, but none of it should impact gameplay in any meaningful way.so there's a small bunch of tiny crap that is undocumented and apparently inconsequential for the end user except that it broke audio (and mods, allegedly)frankly fucking off for 6 years and then coming back with a seemingly inconsequential zero-effort update seems worse to me than just leaving FTL in the fine, functional and feature-complete state it was before.
>>554934887Exactly what I mean anon. In vibe coded games you will get these completely outlandish balance Ideas that no human would ever come up with. No human brain would ever go: "okay if you grind this resource for 30 minutes, you get 0.01% to a stat you don't need". The only way a human would do that is if they were intentionally trying to make something unplayable. But you see it all the time in vibecoded shit.
Silksong is a dogshit game which makes me remember hollow knight less fondly. A worse experience which rewards you with content that is outright inferior to its prequel.I wrote out a long reply that got nuked by fucking 4chanX, but that's basically all I wanted to say anyway.
>>554941943Okay
>>554941943EVERYONE! HEY EVERYONE! HE DISLIKES THE POPULAR GAME! HE THINKS IT'S TRASH ACTUALLY! DO WE STILL HAVE ANY COOL GUY AWARDS FOR THIS GUY?
>>554941183Sound like peak chink game gameplay. Also shit like this is why I hated my entire experience with planet crafter, 90% of the time is spent waiting for the planet to improve because the ratio you get with the stuff you build is either abysmally shit or way too costly in materials for its worth for an upgrade that look good on paper but barely amount to shit.Like by the time the planet was warm enough for all the ice to melt, I had explored the entire freaking map and had basically all the upgrades. Id have needed to basically idles for hours on end to finish the game proper, and screw that, might as well play anything else.
>>554924008What game
>>554941943>I wrote out a long reply that got nukedRetard still hasn't learned to keep a backup on the clipboard
Anyone played "Buy Dwarves: Glory, Death and Loot" Thoughts? It just came out and I'm considering buying it.
>>554946206>Planet crafterYeah that game didn't click for me either, anon. I do love the concept of "build terraforming machinery and see your environment change, live". but that game just ain't it. In addition to what you said, there's also a whole lot of: "Everything you need is on opposing ends of the map, enjoy traveling back and forth forever, asshole".
>>554946206>. Also shit like this is why I hated my entire experience with planet crafter,The tags for Steam were such a bullshit. It is a 3D idle game masquerading as an open world crafting survival.
I don't understand what this does.
>>554941183>"okay if you grind this resource for 30 minutes, you get 0.01% to a stat you don't need"I haven't played it in a while but isn't that basically how Valheim's skill system worked? Hardly mattered in the grand scheme of things but still very silly.
>>554941943You're allowed to not like things anon, you don't have to be so aggressive about it in here. I could care less if Silksong is the second coming of Jesus Christ, that kind of platforming soulslike just doesn't seem interesting to me, which is fine.

I had a friend who didn't like Dark Souls, when I asked him why he said the deaths were "cheap" and I pointed out most of them are avoidable if you look for context clues and take your time. I also said that the game is teaching you that death isn't game over, giving up is as well.He just ignored me, said the deaths were cheap, and that he didn't like the game. So then we did what normal people do and just moved on to something we both liked.Say it with me: "It's okay to not like popular things."
>>554951806Because it's bait. Saying: "I didn't like silksong quite as much as Hollow Knight" is an opinion, opening with "Silksong is dogshit" is bait. The game is different, you can like or dislike the difference, but saying it is "dogshit" is just objectively wrong. Hence the mocking replies. But to be fair, /v/ and /vg/ anons in general have this annoying faggy habit of only accepting a game if it's basically flawless, and if they find anything that can be criticizes that instantly downgrades it to: "unplayable garbage slop". 10 Amazing!9.5 great!9. Okay1-8: equally unplayable trash.
>>554954494>I pointed out most of them are avoidable if you look for context clues and take your time. I also said that the game is teaching you that death isn't game over, giving up is as well.Just because a death is technically avoidable doesn't mean it's not cheap. Often even if you understand that a situation is dangerous that doesn't mean that you understand what the danger is.Equally, just because the game is built around an underlying theme doesn't mean that the theme is well executed or enjoyable to experience. Fine, the game is teaching you that only giving up is game over - but if the way it teaches that is by being as frustrating as possible to challenge my patience and enjoyment then I'd rather not spend my free time in a lecture.There are reasons to dislike dark souls which aren't just the 5 you've hand picked as being acceptable criticisms that still leave the game overall positive. The design choices made are inherently divisive, and in a lot of cases awkwardly executed in a way that clearly could have been less alienating to some players and improved the experience of players who stayed. The traps aren't always a reasonable example of that, but there are absolutely some that are just bullshit
>>554955684ah the IGN scale
>>554955684I'd unironically give it a 6, and even then that's not exactly a complete representation of my experience playing the game. It's not like I was constantly entertained - I spent the first 1/3 of my game bored, the next 1/3 really enjoying it, and the last 1/3 seething at the design choices. The whole game up until the citadel is a meandering waste of time. Exploration takes a million years and the end result is that the actual content the game has is just more spaced out, so even if there's more of it you spend a smaller fraction of your game engaging with it.And people say the game is hard, but the difficulty is generally completely reasonable. I'm sure if I played it first I'd seethe, but I barely even died for until I got to the last judge. What's complete bullshit is how they try to make the game hard by making every single boss hit for 2 masks, cover 90% of the screen with hitboxes and then make the bosses vulnerable for like 2 frames after 20 seconds of floating on the upper corner of your screen. Oh, and then of course even when you can punish half the time isn't safe because there are 5 different attacks you can do which will punish you mid swing/mid pogo/mid heal. If you play with the beast crest you see the switch flip from when the bosses are reasonable to when they become bullshit around the midpoint of the citadel. Then you go back and beat the final boss in 30 seconds because she actually has to stand there rather than fucking off and hiding.And then you have all of the bullshit around navigating the map. You go through the entire game mashing and humping every single wall just in case there's a hidden wall behind the foreground which covers 1/3 of the screen, and then it turns out you missed half a pixel so you have to do it all again. Oh, and more than a couple of times the hidden wall you know is there opens from 3 areas away via a switch. How they still don't have area based completion trackers in the game yet is completely beyond me.
>>554955684>>554957020And I think the part that makes me the most frustrated is the cope. I watched a video from fans about groal that was like "actually no it's intentional that he's objectively, indefensibly, shit. It's because every game has a worst boss so he was picked as the worst!"Like because the game has aspects that are fairly unique people fucking bend over backwards to pad any criticism of the game. Even if you enjoy the experience of finding secrets (and I say this as someone didn't look up anything until I got too pissed off and stopped caring in act 3) I can't imagine anyone actually enjoys the moment to moment experience of chasing 100% when there's so many fucking hidden walls and no reasonable way to find them. At least for a couple of the most bullshit ones they send you on quests which take you right to them, but how the fuck anyone is supposed to remember to go back to weavenest alta or find the wisp thicket on their first playthrough unless they're scouring the map I will never know
>>554956661Sounds like you have a bad cases of the get guds
>>554956661What happens when you die? Nothing, you drop your souls and that is it. You can go pick them back up, and if you passed a pain in the ass enemy only to die from an enemy ambushing you. Its on purpose to prevent the age of Japanese love of the grind, to then only sit on top of your souls and not use them. It's the game designers attempt to prevent grinding and overleveling.
>>554957885If I wanted to I could git gud at eating glass, or slapping contests, or dislocating my joints.Or I could git gud at something which is actually enjoyable moment to moment and potentially even translates to something valuable IRL. Crazy, I know.If the only thing enjoyable about dark souls is the fact that you can brag to losers on the internet about how good you are at dark souls, then that doesn't sound like a game that's worth anyone's time>>554958112>Nothing, you drop your souls and that is it. The most valuable resource you have when you're playing a video game is your time. Saying it "just" cost you your souls is bullshit, because the actual mechanical effect that translates to in the game is either you eat shit and the game is way harder than it should be or you go back and grind to get back to the level the boss is built around.And, regarding the game designers, if they wanted to prevent grinding then maybe don't add a level system? Maybe don't add infinitely renewable powerup resources and powerful equipment with low drop rates? Maybe actually remove grinding?

And not some random fuckboi nigger trying to ruin people's days/weeks/months/years by killing access and momentum to within-the-law media.I hope the false DMCA faggot gets raped in the ass with a razor blade dildo. I'm serious, you gotta kill niggers who do that shit when you find them; he's probably sending false bomb threats and swattings on people, and false fire alarms to fire departments too. The world WILL be better without them.
>>554962871Most of the stuff like that comes from the 3rd world with weak internet laws.
>>554968546But enough about Russia.
>>554968737More India but sometimes Russia. Russia legalized pirating all American or NATO country media so their population with an internet connection are more interesting in playing and watching the stuff they pirate.
>>554962871>Valve and everyone else involved with DMCA really has to fucking setup a system to confirm that the people launching the claim actually are who they say they are... And not some random fuckboi nigger trying to ruin people's days/weeks/months/years They really don't. Submitting a false DMCA claim is already a crime, specifically: Perjury: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512>(vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.The system in place to stop this behaviour is that it is literally a crime with a heavy fine and possible jail time. Because of this setup, companies dealing with DMCAs HAVE to honor them, or else they are putting themselves at legal risk. Essentially if they started ignoring spurrious claims, they would no longer legally protected as: "look dude, we just host this shit it's not our fault they uploaded your shit", they would then legally be responsible for distributing the material. t. copyright law autist.
>>554970591Yeah but no where in this copyright law does it say that hoes legally have to give me a grump handjob...

anyone know how to trade in this game?i visit stations but all the characters i interact with just show what they want
>>554968737>>554969000Russia like THE second world country by definition.

Play any indie games lately bwos?
>>554996085Nope. Still on Red Dead Redemption 2Savefile says I'm 50% through, though I assume that counts all the collectibles and shit. Either way I'm surprised that I might actually finish this game, considering it's on of those titles people get and never play all the way through.
>>554980462I'm pissed off. I got a dagger that killed anything in one hit, and I fucked it up by stabbing a zombie because I misunderstood how it works.

>>554988112Clicky the box next to the dude if you're visiting the station in person. There's a fast trade option so you don't have to land and just go straight to bartering. You put stuff they want and convert it to company credit, then spend company credit on the station stock. Note that if you drop to less than zero rep it causes a trade break and they wipe your company credit.
okay, I already got to court twice for exiting the room to restart itI need help, how are you supposed to pick up the staircase while also carving the correct path in the glass? It seems impossible.

>>555004556Oh god I feel dumb. I just saw the >xx>xshape and I figured that was the room
>>554997916>>555000165>Helldivers 2>RDR2 (and Rockstar games in general)You know, I've started to realize I really like games that have this type of "physicality" to how they control. It does get frustrating when you want to make precise movements sometime, but having some the controls feel a little "sluggish" like the Helldivers weapon recoil or RDR2/GTA characters not snapping to a dead stop when you let go of the movement key does a lot of work in making those worlds feel more real
>>555005125I wish more multiplayer games had that. I loved RO2 and RS2 because of that. Hell Let Loose has a bit of that, but they have nerfed it a lot after the leaving early access.

>>555005238I believe Tarkov has it, but I've never played.I guess it makes sense that in a somewhat competitive multiplayer game you'd want to prefer input accuracy over immersion, but I'm not much of a multiplayer fan anyways to be honest.

The Messenger is pretty fun. Is there any talk of a sequel?
Void Stranger spoilersWtf do I here? It does the same sound as the Add's room chest and the thing in BR NULL but hitting it 6 time does nothing this time
>>555005125>>555005238I found it slightly annoying in RDR2, because that felt a bit too "sluggish". Sometimes moving around felt like you were wading through water. But Helldivers 2 really nails it. it feels like there's some "mass" to your movement, without it feeling like you get stuck to everything.
>>555037059the purpose of this place is to erase your save file, so you can just leave. Hitting it 6 times is the right thing to do to activate it, but you also have to wait a bit while standing still.
Holy SHIT Project Wingman is so fucking fun and especially so much more than AC7
>>555042081Never played any RDR, so I dunno.In RO1 and 2, RS1 and 2 and and Hell Let Loose, it fits very well.

All the missions in Chinese Frontiers seems to be delivering resources and building.>>555043541What is GUN? I haven't played it.
>>555046360Chinese Frontiers is insane.And it's a Wild West game.
The simple dish needs: rice, onions and radish.I have plenty of missions that need a lot of materials, so I better start by securing a source of food. Luckily food doesn't spoil(I kinda would like that).>>555047203>Chinese Frontiers is insane.>And it's a Wild West game.It looks fun so far, if not very descriptive of what you need. I still don't know how many parts I need for the crane mission.Also I dislike wild west games, even if I love the movies about it.
>>555048149I should return to Chinese Frontiers, apparently they optimized it.
>>555042147I did wait, weirdThe place was awesome looking anyway, and the creature was creepy as hellthis game is so fucking good man
>>555049882I'm running it at max graphics and I have no problems so far, but dunno when I start building the village.
Planting rice fields is janky. There's clay deposits that block the area, and I need clay too. I prefer the way Sengoku Dynasty did it, you create magically new flooded areas.
>>555052009WELCOME TO THE RICE FIELDBut yeah, Sengoky Dynasty is surprisingly good. I'm a bit annoyed at Chinese Frontiers because I was sold a cooking game, and it's mostly building.Very deep building.
>accidentally hit F9>it reloads the last auto save>it was almost two hours ago>on the key bind menu there's no option for F9 or anywhere else tells you that it even existsThis is peak euro jank. Bravo Polish devs, now if you could fix it like Riftbreaker it would be awesome.>>555053664>and it's mostly building.>Very deep building.I reached IV tier in the Minecraft's modpack GTNH. Which was around 300 hours of playing. So I'm not really worried about it, I doubt the game even has that much content. Granted that GTNH needed 11ish years to have all that content.
>>555054525All I remember about Minecraft is Herobrine. I made it to iron in Vintage Story, does it count?
>>555054765>I made it to iron in Vintage Story, does it count?Good enough. Most people already say that VS is "too hard".
>>555055138I suggested it to a casual on Reddit, and while he did not heed my advice of turning off inventory drop upon death, he reported having a lot of fun with it.
>>554951215I forgot to thank you for answering that, if the game told me that, I missed it.
>>555057393I think it only says so if you pick one jellyfish at once.
I'm cooking mortar and watching Black Hawk Down, don't die.
I think I over did it with the mortar. I can't make more storage, so I will probably drop it somewhere.
>>555042081Playing RDR2 right now and it only bothers me on horeseback. Getting your horse to line up with the hitching post interact point can be a real pain.I remember really being annoyed by it in GTAIV from time to time though. But I think overall I still appreciate how it grounds me in the world.>>555046360Ahhh Chromatic Aberration, I'm going insane!

But it's so incredibly overdone with no regard for when it's appropriate now not implying that I was any better with it that I'm just tired of it. Which sucks, because deep inside I still think it's cool.

>vibe codedMore like bevis coded.Anyway, I have the annual Drox Operative 2 itch again. Still version 1.010 even after many months so I assume they're all done with that game, especially since all the latest news is Din's Champion this and Din's Champion that. Yeah have fun with that, I'll stick with space Diablo.

>>555076362Will give it a go.
>>555096738I actually teared up a little after beting this level it was so fun to solve.So fun it hit me right in the chest. Mad dopamine levels.Disco Divertimento Duo my beloved.Favorite level of all time including across the basegame and New Adventures.
>>55451956150 hours in Siralim Ultimate, just entered depth 150 out of ? (probably infinite)Still playing blind and I think the next big thing is going to be at over depth 200. I'm now at a stage where I have unlocked all of the basic base upgrade projects, most normal creatures, most spells, over half of the specializations and starting to get into prophecies/relics/masteries/cards.This game is going to take a while.Been trying new specializations but I keep coming back to witch doctor. It's just too good. Especially after nether boss Sarea. Its trait item (enemies attack each other before start of battle) finishes some battles before they even start.Another great specialization I found is Shadowbringer, it focuses on Blighted debuff which turns healing into damage. But ultimately, making limited use of blighted as a witch doctor is much better than a full-on shadowbringer. Shadowbringer can end most battles during the first turn with a couple of spells that heal (damage) blighted enemies, but hard counters to blighted are relatively common. Witch doctor, on the other hand, has had only one hard counter so far: Nature Shapeshifters, which turn damage from friendly fire into healing. But that is easily countered with blighted, lol.Also the most OP fused creature I've found so far is mimic + wisp watcher. Always acts first plus autocasts its 5(!) first spells on turn start. Enough to finish most fights on first turn start pretty much regardless of specialization, as long as your spec supports its spells.
Kenshi question.Is there any reason not to max out all of these?I seem to get around 160fps in-game anyway. At least in the starting town with one dude. But does it have an impact on stability or something?
>>555101019Pretty sure those are all just whether or not your hardware is up to it.
>>555103814It ought to be. 14700K + 5080 + 64gb ddr5 + 990 pro.But you never know with a game running on an old janky engine.I'm not really concerned about the shadows and shit. It's having more AI units loaded in simultaneously that might cause trouble.I suppose I'll keep it maxed for now and tune it if I see any issues.
>>554919226>you can just leave it in the background and let it do its thingwow. what a great feature. you know how I achieved the same result? by not playing idle games. I don't have to touch it at all!
>>554996085I'm gaming independently.
>>555106901oh yeah, the game where everything is great except the gameplay and story
>>555107261Pretty much. Although the combat isn't terrible. It's just that the art team created a world for a sprawling RPG, when the game isn't one.
>>555106901The art team went way too hard.
>>555107869Yeah, they did. And there's a lot of good spots with atmosphere that aren't outwardly flashy.Too bad it's mostly just backdrops and you can't really interact with any of it. It doesn't matter at all whether you're in the sewers or a spaceport or a busy spice market. Nobody cares that you just killed a dozen dudes with a minigun 10 seconds earlier, as long as they weren't on the screen while you did it. Feels kinda uncanny and breaks the world building completely.
>>555107407It's one of the few story driven games i've dropped about 3/4th inMy patience for shooting enemies off-screen and then doing a dash to get out of their range ran out
>>555108930Fully upgraded baseball bat + orbiting razor drones + instant full heal augment is a pretty solid build. I mainly just dash INTO dudes.

>>555115206Why should anyone care?Also on that notes, I'm mildly annoyed by the fact how much singular they/them upsets terminally online retards, when it's such a useful feature of English and I wish my native language had something equivalent to it
>>555116147My native language lacks gendered pronouns. I looked it up, looks like alphabet soup westerners are still pissed about my language for some inane reason.
>>555116471Same here. And it's mostly the terminally online trannies who are mad they have one less thing to complain about since they can't be oppressed.
>>555116471Moomin?
>>555116471Yeah, grammatical gender is fucking stupid and arbitrary to begin with. It's one of the things that takes non native speakers the longest to learn in my language (and I hang out with a lot of them). Because there is no rhyme or reason for it, you just have to learn the genders of a thousand words by heart unless you're a native and you just know the correct ones.
>>555116471Truly, gendered pronouns cause mental illness.
>>555070119>Why do you have two ovens?So that I can cook mortar in one while the other one heats the limestone and sticky rice.>>555073749>Is this another Son Goku dynasty / medieval Dynasty?Kinda. The game is mainly about building projects but it also have a rather basic village building to have peasants help you by producing material and food.
>>555117091>Because there is no rhyme or reason for it, you just have to learn the genders of a thousand words by heart unless you're a native and you just know the correct ones.if your language isn't shit (it most likely is) then there are consistent, discernable rules that allow you to infer gender of the world without knowing context or anything about the word itself. it doesn't matter much for inanimate objects and just comes as an interesting side effect (that can be also used which can be cute sometimes when there are multiple different ways to refer to the same concept, you can use either female, male or neutral genders to give it a specific connotation), but then when referring to anything animate you have consistent rules, sentences flow much better and you generally pack more context into your speech increasing the information density which is always good
mmmhhh cubeslop
>>554829240what mod for xcom is this?
Finally, the true Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door sequel
>>555128523I'm talking about inanimate objects. I speak 3 languages that have grammatical gender and have vague knowledge of a few more and in all of them I don't know of any consistency when it comes to that.Sure there are probably etymological reasons and you can sometimes tell by the suffix etc etc, but in my experience there is little reason why a table or a soon or food is male, female or neuter.Do you have examples of languages where that isn't the case? I'm genuinely curious.
>>555116746>all of these games are actually devved by finnsgood fucking godI thought cofffin was american
okay that game rocks
>>555133285As a french frog, id say its more so it roll off the tongue easier and sound better to the ear, but there are a few cultural traits like how certain concepts are considered more or inherently feminine or masculine so it just come off as more proper, so ergo the specific gendered version feel more natural to use in a given context.Ie "Le Port" aka "the port" sound good, while "La Port" make you sound like a dumbass and a listener may misunderstand what you're trying to say, thinking youre saying "la part" aka "the part (like the fraction of a thing)" but the A is pronounced as a O, or maybe you're saying "La Porc" aka "the pig(male)" which make you illiterate because it isnt the proper word for a female pig, which is "truie".I mean imagine you're talking to someone about a a boat coming to Glasgow port and he answer "ah yes, Glasgow sow!", youd be confused as to what the hell is he even talking about.
>>555105058Sounds boring
The demo of this came out recently, I brushed it off but after giving it a chance it was actually really good, wasn't expecting a rougelite mode after the regular level but whatever
>>555137963>jiggle animation
>>555137598>its more so it roll off the tongue easier and sound better to the earAre you sure it's not just your bias as a native speaker? I'm aware there a languages that have specific rules for making shit sound nice (hell even English has a/an the/the), but I would guess what you describe is more of a happy side effect than anything.
>>555128523Oh boy. You will hate my language, it has six genders.
>>555138256>Are you sure it's not just your bias as a native speaker?Yesn't? Sure some words can be used in the same context without much problem, but others inherently sound off putting. Ie "la fourchette" aka the fork, sound nice to the ear, but "le fourchette" sound dumb becuase it clash with the -ette suffix.Think of it like the Dexter meme of "Le omelette du fromage" which sound okay to someone not french, but to a french speaker its outright harrowing as it effectively translate to "the omelete of the cheese".Anyhiw ill stop talking about it because this is far too lobg a tangent for something that has nothing to do with vydea gaems.
>>555137963Glad to see their technology has progressed.
>>555128523>there are consistent, discernable rules that allow you to infer gender of the world without knowing context or anything about the word itself.>>555137598>it just sounds right when you say it okI sure am glad I didn't grow up speaking the french language

>>555141446No idea, I was never a fan of hers just was around when she hijacked 4chan for a while with her legion of simps.
>>555141446I think she had like 2/3 children.
>>555141010Honestly I cant even really be angry at you, french suck ass to learn because 99% of the shit were forced to learn is never used in daily life, and there a ton of super archaic shit like entire tenses that are never ever used even in literature.
>>555144363>french suck assTrue.The only good french is out of a french girl's mouth while she mutters something incomprehensible under me while she digs her nails in my backgod why did they make them so fucking hot
>>555140245>which sound okay to someone not french, but to a french speaker its outright harrowingwell yeah, but that's just speaking the language wrong. That's always gonna sound weird to a nativeMy point is that grammatical gender is arbitrary and there is no logic behind why une/l'omlette is correct instead of un/le omletteor however you shorten the articles correctly, I haven't spoken french in 10 years>>555141010>it just sounds right when you say it ok>I sure am glad I didn't grow up speaking the french languageI dare you to name one language which doesn't have at least on feature or rule that isn't "just learn it bro"
void stranger spoilers:turns out you can actually give yourself infinite locusts by replacing the floor number with the locust number, then exiting the game so the locust number is maintained without swapping the floor number backThis can also be use in conjunction with falling in front of bee's statues to skip an exact amount of levels to get to the next tree room, and replacing them again

Anons, I'm thinking of playing witcher 3, but I'm heavily annoyed by getting an EXP penalty for doing a quest "late". The game is so huge with so many quest that it's impossible not to miss some low level quests before their rewards get reduced to 2exp. Should I install "always full exp" mod? How much does that fuck with the general exp curve? Chance of ruining my game, or is it just gonna keep low level quests relevant?
>>555076362Seconding this. It's really good
>>555179995It's been a while since I've played, but from what I recall you're pretty much gonna be on top level wise if you decide to do all (or most of) the side content you find.I honestly wouldn't bother with it. The only time I ever felt underleveld was when I found some unique armor earlier than intended and didn't get to wear it, but those armors are a whole different gripe I have with the game.In my experience most quests were interesting enough (at least on a first playthrough) to do them even if I only got 3XP at the end of it
>>555180848Hmm fair. my problem is that I have played the start of the game like 5 times because I always stop playing somewhere in skellige. Not because the game is bad or anything, just purely because by then I have god knows how many hours in my save and I just organically do not start the game any more because the urge to play more is gone. Then suddenly I realize: "Oh, it's been 3 months since I played my Witcher save."Well time for another go. Deathmarch again. But not sure what build to go for.
>>555133285Russian and some Slavic and Baltic languages like Ukrainian and Belorussian do that. The gender is entirely dictated by the ending of the word.I.e. in Russian, most nouns in the neutral form tend to end with either a consonant, -a, or -o/-e, and the only common exceptions to this are proper nouns, loanwords and occupations/jobs (but that's more of a rule about how the words around it should be treated, not the noun itself because all titles of jobs are male, so when referring to a female worker it's fine to use a male version of the word, but construct the rest of the sentence as if it would've been female)If your noun ends with -a then it's female, if it ends with -o/-e then it's neutral, if it ends with a consonant then it's male. Verbs (and all their special forms of which there are many) also have gendered forms too.Generally, misusing the gender and referring to something animate in a neutral gender is considered insulting because only inanimate objects have a neutral gender and it's like you're indirectly treating person you're talking about as something dead and dumb.
>>555097237My suggestion for Siralim was just a random dart at the board after trying it for an hour but I'm glad you seem to enjoy it.
>>555184718Very relatable man. I'm the type of person who will restart from the beginning when I haven't touched a game for long enough almost every time (unless I managed to quite at a convenient Act/Chapter ending that makes getting back int the game easier.I'm assuming I'm almost done with Witcher 3 because when I quit around July (on account of reading the books and wanting to avoid possible spoilers) I just got the achievement for completing all Witcher Contracts, so probably not a lot of side content left and the story seems to be moving towards a conclusion. Maybe I should get back into it soon too.Good luck with your run, buddy>Deathmarch again. But not sure what build to go forI was disappointed to find out that it barely matters. I went with a somewhat potion focused build for my first Deathmarch attempt (my current one) it after the earlygame it felt like I was doing it mostly for flavor, unfortunately. Half the time I don't even remember to spend my skillpoints.If you want to try something fun (but tedious) you can break up the "intended" Velen-Novigrad-Skellige order. After finishing Skellige there is some dialogue that implies you went to the other two places first and I wanted to see what happens if you don't and that conversation actually changes and I think there even is a small quest that gets replaced depending on your order.The only downside is that you'll spend a third of your time being underleveld and then a third of your time being overleveled for the area you're in.
Wtf did I just find?
>>555184718Just stay to the main story then go do the dlcs, both are genuinely awesome, especially blood and wine. And maybe the occasional sidequest when you feel like it, dont feel obligated to finish it 100% because that is how you get burnt out. Not that there are ton of sidequest that arent worth doing, but staying 20 hours at a time per region can be boring at time.
>>555184793>because all titles of jobs are maleI think many other languages have the generic masculine, though it's not true that there are no feminine job titles in Russian.I see your point, it's a lot more consistent than what I know from Romance and Germanic languages, I totally forgot about that.But I think what feels arbitrary to me is why cтoл would be masculine, лaмпa feminine and oкнo neuter, even though they're all inanimate objects, you know?>If your noun ends with -a then it's femaleexcept мiй coбaкa for some silly reason, what the fuck?
>>555187830You just made me realize something. I recently watched a video that mentioned how micro distractions (or whatever the real term is) like opening your map or checking the quest log wreck havoc on your attention span while playing a game and are very mentally exhausting over time.And reading your post I just remembered how tedious it was in W3, to figure out which side objectives you could do on the way to wherever you are going (since I liked to play without fast travel) because you can only display one quest at a time and have to constantly flick back and forth between the map and quest tab. Shit was horribtle
>>555187351It's music. This is Noita, right? Anywhere you can play this?
>>555188861The only exception id say is do blood n wine sidequests, almost all of them are amazing, I wont spoil anything but lets just say the dev went all out with the setting, which is effectively a jolly Bretonnia in a nornally grim dark setting, nice change of pace.
>>555188616>it's not true that there are no feminine job titles in Russian.Yes, there are feminine titles and they mostly come from jobs that were culturally female like швeя or пoвapихa historically, but these all are derived from their male counterparts and don't work generally as most of them sound very bad or have negative connotations attached.>But I think what feels arbitrary to me is why cтoл would be masculine, лaмпa feminine and oкнo neuter, even though they're all inanimate objects, you know?This adds a bit of subtle subtext to how the words were treated historically since before the rise of modern Russian (i.e. the occupation titles above), and also allows you to give your speech a specific connotation.Like "I like my automobile (male)" and "I like my car (female in diminutive form)" practically mean the same thing, but specify speaker's disposition better. And come on, this is Russian we're talking about here, a language where every single movement-derived verb has more than 100 different forms. Is it practical? Absolutely not. Useful in casual speech and allows you to express yourself better in niche situations? Only if you use them well.>except мiй coбaкa for some silly reason, what the fuck?That's an Ukrainian thing. Russian has пёc (explicitly male) and coбaкa (generally female). Пёc has been used for this purpose as coбaкa just didn't flow well, and it also doesn't equal to кoбeль which is used when you want to explicitly specify dog's gender.Forgot to add that there are actually 4 genders (male/female/neutral/common) in Russian but there are like only 100 words in total that use it and they generally refer to non-specific animate quality descriptors which are not adjectives, so you can use noun-noun pair where the second noun functions as an adjective but can also be used on it's own as the primary member of the sentence. Don't tell that to anybody, not even the native speakers care.
>>555189737I'm >>555187230 not the anon you're responding to, so I'm almost done with the main game (and all sidequests I could find) and fully intend to play the DLC after (is there a preferred/intended order to them?)I'm familiar with Toussaint from the books, curious to see it in game though
>>555142027You need crude oil first.
>>555189534Yeah it's noita. They look like spells and a special wand that can use them. I should take it to holy mountain or something but I died soon after lol. I'll still focus on that and finding out what this thing is
>>555187230Oh I just remembered why I originally installed the "always full exp" mod in the first place. I was playing with enemy scaling enabled which keeps everything on your level, keeping it reasonably difficult. So I thought it was kinda bullshit to have to get a low level exp penalty, for a quest that wasn't even technically low level for me. >I was disappointed to find out that it barely matters.It really does early on, but once you are a bit deeper into the game, yeah you tend to destroy things again. But I do remember really struggling with some hard fights on deathmarch. Particularly just tanky enemies that need a shitton of hits to go down, while you eat it in just few. >>555188861https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/943I feel the same, that's why I love this.
>>555190608The first one is heart n stone which is more of a extensive questline, and afterward do blood n wine which is a whole expansion with like at leat 20 hour or more worth of content. I am not too familiar with the books version of it, so I cant really say much more.Damn just talking of it make me want to play again
Man, I don't trust game gamma settings. "Adjust until medallion is barely visible". If I set it "as intended" (top image) I can barely see shit, despite it being day and there being multiple light sources. Is that really how this game is meant to be experienced?
Praise be to the indie discussion!
>>555076362>>555180471Nimi means something very different in a meme language I learned and I can't not see it now.
>>555206989What lang?
>>555207352Toki Pona, this was before I found it was filled with trannies, autists, and crazed liberals. On hindsight I should have known better but it was honestly fun to learn it.Nimi means name or word in Toki Pona.

>>555207496Neat
>>555129054XPiratez. A massive 200-300 hour overhaul
>>555206989>>555207352>>555207496You don't need a meme conlang for that.Nimi=name also in Finnish & Estonian plus other (dead) finnic languages like Karelian, Ingrian, Livvi, etc.
>>555193612I think your screen is too dark.
>>555186253>just a random dart at the boardThat's exactly what I expect from /indie/.
>>555193612Just adjust it to whatever looks good for you.Gamma is a hard problem to solve because every gaming battlestation is different.Even The Dark Mod has nasty gamma variety between some fan mission authors, despite a great in-game gamma adjustment room in the game's built-in tutorial map.
>>555208806Toki Pona steals Nimi from finish, its a conglomerate of random words from random languages.Toki also means "when" in Japanese and "I'm speaking" in Tok Pison.
>>555209504Or too bright? I frequently notice that in games my friends can't see shit, I'm totally fine and don't even really need a flashlight. But in Witcher if I adjust the gamma as the game says, everything is just SO freaking dark. >>555210158It seems that way. I was just surprised by how dark it actually gets. But also man: as long as I have been gaming, across multiple monitors and computers, every time I got a "Adjust until the image disappears / is barely visible" no matter how low I turned the gamma, I could ALWAYS still very clearly see the image/icon. Witcher 3 is the first where if I turn it all the way down it actually disappears, (the screenshot was not all the way down, it was legit when it was still barely visible as instructed).Shame there's no way to have a better "reference" for how bright it should be,as it obviously would also have to be displayed on your monitor.
>>554829240What are you currently playing, /indie/? For me its The King is watching. Next probably the Last Spell.
>>555214383>Shame there's no way to have a better "reference" for how bright it should beBut there is a better way to handle the whole gamma/brightness calibration... TDM does it better than any other game I've seen.It has an IN-GAME gamma test room rather than a still image in some option menu. The advantages of this should be obvious--All of your 3D rendering settings apply to it, even if you are running reshade/enb or something that won't touch a gamma test image in a menu. It will always accurately represent how the game actually looks as you *play* it and move around because it literally is a scene you play.
How do I get residue? I'm on my second kalpa/cycle. I have exactly 1 essence I didn't do anything with.
>>555216297nvm, I figured it out and it just went no where lol
>>555158361Wouldn't you need something that causes self-harm otherwise you'd all be full HP and not deal damage since there's noting being recovered?
Final form and data bosses unlocked. The infamous "white room" was pretty frustrating on crit. It wasn't specially hard but at level 43, everything 1 shots me. So if I got grabbed by a dancer, stood to close to a spawning dragoon or even got hit by a cube, I would instantly die since I don't have second chance yet. After 2 hours and getting very close to doing it like that, I decided to just go grind 3 ribbon to turn the 1 shots into 2 shots and did it on my second try.No idea why I decided to do that before finishing the last world but I got a boost of confidence when I absolutely destroyed that one boss...
>>555105058>he doesn't like to see number go upI'm honestly shocked considering at its very core that is what all games are, number go up simulators.
>>555214725Quarantine Zone: The Last Check. It's pretty fun, but the emotional side is seriously lacking. I can't bring myself to give a shit what happens to the survivors beyond just getting my paycheck for sending their ass to the government.

Particularly just tanky enemies that need a shitton of hits to go downYeah, that was the only time the Witcher fantasy of preparing potions in advance and using them for a big monster fight really came through. Even if 90% of the time it's just the damage up potion + some decoction + some space left for a healing potion.It's a shame, I felt like games like Monster Hunter did a way better job in making you feel like an expert preparing for a job, studying the target etc etc

I'm finally getting a feel for void strangerI've fucked up and got myself killed at like B100 by accident, then when I started off again I was back to B56 in a couple of minutes
>>555076362The Lab is giving me some of the good old existential dread again
>>555225460I strongly suggest you give in and eat the fruit if you haven't already anon. Spoiler has no details but still figure I should. Reaching the bottom voided is a very memorable segment and fits best for the first time.

Finally, realm depth 240 and something new. The previous ~90 levels were just a grind to unlock more of everything.
>>555231287>as a reward you get to do the same thing againI'm glad I refund it.
>>555231558It's clearly a number go up game like Disgaea it's for certain kinds of people.
>>555231558Yeah there's probably infinite versions of the nether bosses or something. In the first place, the nether bosses themselves are just a repeat of the 20 story bosses with different (really good) traits that you can buy.But I'm looking forward to completing the gate of the gods project. Apparently it lets me fight the gods.And I still have entire game mechanics to unlock. Stuff like anointments, bounties, guilds. They've been taunting me in menus since the first time I booted up the game.
>>555231767It's more of a "see how hard you can break the game with OP combos" game than Disgaea.There's no way to just grind and fight fair, the enemies outlevel you by an absolutely ridiculous factor. My creatures are like level 1300 at this point.
>>555224309log is a standard VN feature
>>555227836>I strongly suggest you give in and eat the fruit if you haven't already anon.I got to like 215 with the fruitthen I did something very silly and I got down to floor 16 by accident while replacing my locusts for the first timeand that was without even knowing about the various brand roomsI genuinely didn't wanna go down there once again with what's essentially just explorer mode so I just went down in front of a trap statue to reset my statusnow I'm still being silly but more consistently, plus I get to gather more mementos of the demon loli>spoilerwell I'll try to use what I learned to speedrun there next time then.
>>555236614Oh.Oh no.if I die with this on I should still get a brand for it like everything else rightfuck I spent all my locusts teleporting to the brand room and I thought I needed to bump into it with the sword
>>555238949oh good, that wasn't a requirement nice
>>555225460don't wanna be that backseating guy but I strongly support >>555227836it's part of the experience, and not stressing over locusts will give you more leeway to experiment things
>>555116746I had no idea these were all made by Finns. No wonder they're great. Maybe not the incest one but thats 1 out of 15 which is still very fucking good.
>>555239330I'm not stressing over locusts at allI just did something stupid because I forgot how the thing workedI understand the concept though but now that I know how to speedrun through the game I'll do the void ending later
>>555226246Splitting up You like that is such a neat thing
>>555226246Why isn't it a wobbly non-looping gif?
okay now I remember, I teleported from 196 to 100something by trying to replace the locusts, I actually never got as far as this the first time aroundAnd now I'm finally getting some headscratchers again, I breezed through the last ones and these rooms are getting complicated again
I don't get why Balatro is so popular, it's a number autism game.
>>555248053addictive
>>555248053It's a numbers autism game that's also easy to get into, plus a gambling component for the degens. It hits all demographics.
>>555231767>>555231860Don't get me wrong, I bet it is very fun if you are into that kind of game. But my flavour of autism isn't that.I started playing it while streaming it to a friend that plays it, and as he was explaining me mechanics and how the mid to end game was, I just simply noped of it. I prefer my open world survival crafting slop.
>>555248053I don't get why Pokémon is so popular, it's gacha for kids.

>>555250939Don't say it out loud or Nintendo will start suing everyone.
>>555251153I figured the shadow spawns worked like smilers and only realized later that I could summon and delete tiles around them, and also that when they died I died and yeah except for a couple rooms the rest was ezpzI just got to the end, the last brane was freaky and I'm not going to screenshot and scramble the entire message, I'll look up someone else's solution for itI'm going to try and speedrun a void run now to get what the fuss is about, I missed most of the floor engraving rooms after the explicit ones because I had already gotten all the burdens and I wanted to get to the end

>>555267994Potionomics, the characters looks great, you just have to min max everything even in the tutorial
>>555267519Monsters are basically chestbursters that pop out of dying humans and have different properties depending on planet-adjacency. They play by the same rules generally except they usually have extreme resistance disparity so if you don't have the right weapon/ammo type on hand you're not gonna have a good time. And if the danger meter gets high enough they gain maphack and start bumrushing you. Which is generally avoided by going to an empty floor and maxing the danger bar on purpose so you just fight 1 boss that can be lured to an area with strong cover for you.
Nearly done with Thief's RoulettePuzzles are nice until the last part of the game where the difficulty falls off (The game dev started in 2018 so the dev prob wanted to push it out asap). The 15 "party members" have little to say and are prob there as leftovers from the previous iterations of the game (again, 8 years of development). There's clearly an actual plot in the background that flew completely over my head (something about space colonies? digital worlds? Controlling people through dreams?). I still have to get the true ending so the game might make sense after getting it. Also i wanna tittifuck Adhira.
>>555268407sounds cheesy
>>555269134You can take drugs to drop the meter but that's consuming resources while raising the danger meter is done by scraping raw flesh off your enemies for free.

>>555222661>It's a shame, I felt like games like Monster Hunter did a way better job in making you feel like an expert preparing for a job, studying the target etc etcWell, there is a fine line between: "The game wants you to prep for the fight" and "you are totally gimped if you don't get the right shit for this". If the game gets it wrong it can feel like you're just arbitrarily doing no damage.
>>555270950simulator autists simply make no sense so I'm cutting that off 14 out of 15 is "I hate myself and I want to die"technically, so is my summer car
Reminder that Anubia lost only to the MC of the game in popularity polls.And the bara shark that lost to Anubia got his own DLC upon remaster rerelease.There is no justice in this world.
>>555271016Fair enough. And it's also not easy to make sure it doesn't feel like tedious busywork
>>555268747>(The game dev started in 2018Damn, it's been that long? Good to hear it has a schizo plot.

>>555222661>I felt like games like Monster Hunter did a way better job in making you feel like an expert preparing for a job, studying the target etc etcI don't know how people do no-food, no-buffs, no-decos hunts at high levels. I can do them with low level monsters, and some that have very easy to dodge attack patterns like nergigante. But with anything else I have to use all the decos for defense and to boost my weapon, the right food dishes and any other potion and pill that gives buffs.

New Ball X Pit update: https://youtu.be/3EIJeqbptiYNEW x CHARACTERSYou can now play as the Falconer, a new character who fires off two balls launched by a pair of birds flanking the screen, giving their attacks a wide, swooping spread. Or take on the role of the Carouser, a medieval royal troublemaker who can twist ball trajectories with a personal gravity field, pulling shots off their usual paths. NEW x BALLSA selection of eight powerful new balls includes Fireworks, which burst outward in bright, unpredictable patterns, scattering damage in every direction; the Stone Ball, which hits like a truck on impact but slowly crumbles as it keeps bouncing; and the Landslide, which triggers a cascading wave of debris in front of the first impact point and deals damage that lasts for a few seconds to surrounding enemies.NEW x PASSIVESThree new passives have been added to the game - Deadeye’s Impaler cranks up your critical hit chance, and when those crits hit, enemies that are not the boss do not get back up. Well, that’s because they instantly kill. Grotesque Artillery pulls from your own gear, firing off a random ball from your equipped lineup every time it triggers. Iron Onesie rewards chaos, boosting the damage of special balls based on how many baby balls are bouncing around the field.NEW x MODEYou spoke, and we listened! The long-requested ENDLESS MODE is now available! Each level can now be pushed as far as you can handle, continuing indefinitely as long as you manage to stay alive once finishing the boss in that area and agree to continue deeper into the pit. HOW TO UNLOCK NEW CONTENTThe new content will unlock as you progress in the game. If you’ve already beaten it, everything should already be unlocked (except for blueprints, which you’ll need to find in levels).
>>555271827If they can't figure out how to break out Anubia from mid Recettear-wannabe jail, can't they just make their own Temu Anubia?
>>555281552Buy an ad.
>>555281709Lmao, I'm not affiliated with the studio. I just thought /indie/ might like the game and be excited for the update. Guess I guessed wrong. I'll take the downvote.
>>555281920You could've just said "hey guys new ball x pit update came out" and then not proceed to do an obvious shill post.Now I'm wondering whatever happened to that Skelattack guy or the game he was trying to shill.
>>555281709Buy Onirism.
>>555283504Is there literally any positive attribute of the game besides the loli?Why would you not just play splatoon instead?
>>555281709Buy Wooden Ocean.
>>555284068Onirism's single player mode is longer.Also, gummy prince.
>>555283098I just figured I'll save you fags some time and copy paste the update notes, instead of answering individual "What's new" posts. I mean, I posted a youtube link but not the fucking store page or anything so I didn't think it would come off like a shill post. I'll go back to Witcher 3 posting.

>>555116746>Barotrauma is finnishI am somehow both surprised, yet not.
>>555267282You and I are the same.I respect the game making me do things I don't want to do, though, in a weird, masochistic sort of way. Generally I only deal with Quasimorphs when I fuck up or get really unlucky, because I always grind Mars for enough drugs to not ever have to deal with them in ideal circumstances. This makes it feel more like a punishment for misplay than an inherent game mechanic and I'm okay with it under that lens.
>>555266298Me neither. Baba Is You is my favorite game of all time, Void Stranger is amazing, Noita's postgame filtered me but I respect it, Ultrakill has been on my wishlist for ages, and Leyley sexo.Holy shit why are Finns this cracked?
>>555281709Buy an anti-being-a-nigger pill. Hate you faggots
What is it with my faggot brain and being unable to make ANY decision in a modern AAA game without looking up possible late game repercussions? Why am I completely fucking unable to just make a decision on the spot, and not worry if me telling this runaway dude to A rather than B, might result in him dying instead of being a merchant later that sells the best armor? Why can't I just fucking pick and live with the consequences?Fuck, it never used to be that way. Back when I was younger I never once cared about the possible long time results of making the "wrong" choice. I just played how I wanted to play. Why am I unable to do it now?
>>555298347had a time where you realized you really fucked up as a child doing that reckless shit, probably
>>555298347you might have OCD, anon, it can manifest at any point of lifeor you're just terminally brainrotten by FOMO and need a constant stream of information about your decisions you make all the timeturn the internet off next time you play and try not to think about the game when not playing it, it does wondersfor games i care about, i specifically pick times when i will be completely unbothered, often during night, and completely cut off the communication with the rest of the worlds
I mustve ended up in the weird end of Steam again because what the fuck is this UI
>>555262356Rain WorldBallisticNGBaba Is YouNuclear OptionSprocketDuck Gamea quick scroll through indies in my steam library, not including VNs or other story-only games
>>555298656Maybe. Or maybe one too many games where making the wrong decision means you get the bad ending. I remember playing Cyberpunk 2077 and I couldn't get a specific ending that I was going towards (I didn't know there was this specific ending I was working towards it organically) because I didn't talk to takemura after a bossfight. Problem is: I just didn't see him in the rubble back then. I thought he was burried and gone. >>555298869>FomoFomo truly is a bitch, and maybe it's a bit of both. I will admit tho, that I rarely "cut myself off" completely, because I get frustrated when I don't find something, and tend to look it up online. (I'm not talking solutions to puzzles or anything like that, an example would more be like: I'm currently playing Witcher 3 and need Arenaria. I've run around a bunch of fields, not finding it so I end up googling and learn "Ah, it's around this guys house". I don't know, maybe that's faggy too, maybe I should stop that. But half the time I feel just a bit annoyed when I run around for too long just searching for some bullshit, and look it up to "save time".

>>555298945aliens that look alien, finally??
>>555298347Why would it be wrong to play optimally? Especially for games where the game developers manipulate you? If giving the game a fair chance when not deserved, you might not only not learn something, but active mislearn, as in, losing real-life experience points. By looking up story consequences for a game, or starting to read a book by reading the last chapter first, you greatly decrease the ability of the author to manipulate you.Also, if your main goal is to test yourself regarding story options, and not (possibly addiction-creating) time-wasting filler, looking up solutions are way more efficient.One flipside is that you might not get tested or learn regarding some aspects. But testing yourself regarding this requires a lot of trust in a game:- It has to be very well-designed and free of any relevant bugs.- It has to simulate choices well, a simulation that one can learn from, or at least scripted realistically.- It has to not manipulate you, for instance with fraudulent stories, or rigged and fake simulations.- It has to not waste your time with filler.Picking games carefully can help.
>>555298869>FOMOBut one misses out by playing games a lot. Playing games hinders, and doesn't help, missing out on stuff that matters. Steam achievements are anti-achievements, it's bad to get Steam achievements in most cases.

I don't even fucking like gachashit. What's wrong with me?

>>555314827every racing game is actually number go down because you're trying to do laps faster, not slowercheckmate retard
>>555314927No, its a numbers go up game because you are trying to get a higher average speed which means a lower lap time... Keep up...
>>555314965but the higher average speed doesn't matter if the complete travel distance is higher, so you also have to keep your distance traveled lowerit's a number go down game
>>555315396Ah, but don't forget there's other people on the track you are racing against, its a numbers go up game.
>>555315649not if you ram them, then it's a numbers go down game
why cant my bank account be a numbers go up game?
are there any other games that allow you to casually launch nuclear weapons with no reprecussion in numbers of multiple dozens that are not rts?
>>555316801EDF? Dunno if any of its weapons are explicitly nuclear
>>555310809I feel like FOMO thankfully just backfires on me most of the time. A kind of 'Oh I missed something, now I've got no motivation to continue anyway' attitude that keeps me from playing any gachashit or other live service stuff for more than a week.
>>555316331If you ram them its a numbers go up game because you are taking damage.
>>555316519Because you are playing life as a "number of games go up" game and not a "number of dollars go up" game.
>>555318194but your health goes down so it's a numbers go down game
>>555318392Yeah but the number of people you total puts you in a higher position at the end of the race so its a number go up game.

https://youtu.be/VICbixYsUxc>roguelite + Chinese + bad titleTrifecta of slop, some of the designs look cool though
>>555317667For me it really fucking works. I have this dumb "I need everything" brain. I have fucking Stellar Blade in family sharing, and I'm not playing it because it's lacking the DLC and even tho I absolutely do not NEED the DLC, my dumbass brain wants the full game with EVERYTHING, But I also juuuuuuust don't care enough about wish dot com nier automata to actually buy the DLC for the person who owns it so that I can play it, ya know?On the other hand, sometimes if the fomo is too bad, I will say "fuck it, fuck this, fuck your game". Like, I stopped playing games that have daily and weekly login rewards or daily and weekly quests for pretty much the reason you said: "Well I missed some so.. fuck it.".
>>555298945geneforge vibes
>>555320981I hammer home points that are true, the faggot (You?) parrots nonsense and lies.>>555323390The faggot was being a faggot, not my fault.And there is a difference between huge consumption of video games and meager consumption of video games. The players that have 1000+ titles in their Steam libraries and go hunting for any and all (anti-)achievements, are 10000% missing out on life, family and children. The people with a few titles and reasonable consumption of video games, are not necessarily missing out on life, family and children.If you are a Steam shill, then do remember that healthier consumption of video games overall, decreases the risk of politicians raging and just shutting Steam and other similar stores and services down out of anger and frustration.
>>555324704I have a hard time taking someone calling video games a waste of time seriously when they're telling me that in a 4chan general about video games.
>>555325353Reading comprehension failure, as expected from a faggot like (You).Read, and this time comprehend, >>555324704 , faggot.
>>555325753Right.How about you stop arguing with people on 4chan or posting at all so you aren't "missing out on the stuff that matters".Maybe focus on "the stuff that matters" instead of video games.
>>555326095You didn't even address the argument, instead come with inanity.Kill yourself, scatterbrained, trolling faggot.

I have no stake in this samefag accusation, I don't even know what the argument is about, but I always find it funny when it's inconceivable to someone that more than one person would disagree with them online
>>555332959It's chunky and almost 3x the size of base FTL, but I think the fact that you'll only ever see a fraction of it per run really helps with digesting it. You'll only really feel it when you're grinding towards unlocking the Merchant Transports and you realize there doesn't actually need to be 15 flavors of Rock cruiser.
My favorite indie game is to see if I can dox people I know.Some sucker posted the view from his window in our company group chat so I know their address now.
>>555334793And then the accused always post an easily editable screenshot as proof that they aren't samefagging.
>>555335732It's a non-falsifiable accusation, so it's not like you could do anything about it.
>>555336036unfalsifiable*? dunno, English is my third language
>>555335696wow you're sooo cooool
What is is with not indie games that have the potential to be cozy deciding to hang an inevitable death over the main character? First Cyberpunk 2077, now RDR2?
>>555336307>Cyberpunk 2077>cozyI get what you mean, but it's not how I describe a corporate dystopia.
>>555336245Thanks. It's a lot of fun, I recommend giving it a shot
>>555337265Yeah, cozy is definitely the wrong word. But I just really enjoy just hanging out in the gameworld, chilling in my apartment etc. Got some mods to make the game feel a little more like a life sim.But then after the prologue it turns out that you'll be dead in a few weeks (or however long) and that kind of puts a dampener on things
