We're getting somewhere>>558259498>>558259702My biggest problem is, that once I build a nice looking building, I want every other building to look at least as good. And on previous saves that has straight up paralyzed me at times, because I've built something nice looking and then couldn't get myself to build anything more (even if it's stuff I needed to progress) because what if it doesn't look as nice?>Damn shame this game has no npc in single player.. Except traders that is.Yeah I've been thinking about this ever since playing medieval dynasty, more of these games need NPCs.

What is a "carbine"? First time I ever see that word.
>>558316324It’s a long rifle that has had its barrel drastically shortened.It basically sacrifices range for maneuverability.
>>558317089So... a long rifle with a short barrel? That sound unintuitive. What kind of situation would require higher maneuverability? Fighting in tunnels or in a building?
>>558317325Basically yeah, it’s also lighter and easier to transport.
>>558316324short answer it's a smaller, lighter rifle (shorter barrel is the main thing)easier to move with especially in tight spaces, less precise at sufficiently long rangessort of a few notches closer to an smg
>>558317494I see. Something between an assault rifle and a submachine gun, then?
>>558317585We've gone from "Everything's an AK" to "What's an AK?"
>>558318192The AK is this, the assault rifle.
>>558317585Just see it as a short-barreled assault rifle. More common than it sounds. For exemple, the standard Colt M4A1 is a carbine

>>558325374>Nickleback>classic rockAm I getting old? Reminds how a local retro station recently removed 70s songs from its playlist.
>>558327725Not sure what age radios consider to be 'classic', but How You Remind Me will be 25 this year.
>>558325374>when you realize there is a larger gap between now and when linkin park was big than there was between your birth and when "classic rock" bands made their big hits.
>>558328025I thought "classic rock" is more of a genre in the style of the earlier rock songs. Although I never really cared to categorize songs. I'm fairly certain If someone asked me I would call some pop songs rock.
>>558327725>>558328039Reminds me of when I jokingly called Skyrim a retro game and realized that with every passing year that statement moves closer and closer to being true

Tried Shadow of the Matrix. I'm not quite sure why there's even a demo, the game doesn't even feel like it's in alpha. It feels like a bunch of random assets together.I could go in, but it's an indie game, so I feel bad about tearing it to pieces.
Obra Dinn's OST is surprisingly good.
>>558346638Crazy. Happy for whoever is keeping the lights on. I guess I'm equally surprised that shit like VGL is still going even if /indie/ doesn't seem to have a manager at the moment, unfortunately>>558351561>>558351767>>558352489I still have some of these randomly appear in my head from time to timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5CBhPDQDr4For some reason this is one that I just can't get out of my head even all these years later.Also the Shazbowl one that I can't find for some reason
>>558286589>>558286748My problem always is that the second i settle in some perfect place i get wanderlust and it kills me that "thats it" and i dont get to travel anymore..Same with PZ.
>>558359714I'm mad that the only game I know with a lot of cosmetic options is the very predatory Conan Exiles. I remember playing Enshrouded and trying to make a Roman-styled villa, but it didn't have enough options for it. It came out as a Germanic take on a Roman mansion.
>>558359714Who's forcing you to stay in one place?Granted a full nomadic playthrough is probably difficult, though with the elk and boat I can imagine carring enough supplies for quite some distance.I once ahd the idea for a playthrough, where I move whenever I make a big enough jump in technology potentially with the bonus rule that I have to survive in each one for at least a year, though that might be too boring, so I can have multiple bases each looking period appropriate, without having to tear down my mudhut once I get into metalurgy. The idea is currently on hiatus, but feel free to steal it.Or you could build and expanding network of outposts and connect them with roads. Maybe embark on a journey to one of the poles.I've set my current world to >Landcover: 50%>Landcover scale: 300%during generation. I've only explored a tiny bit of it in noclip, before resetting to make sure I dialed the settings in correctly and so far it has fiven me a very nice ratio between vast oceans and big continents. So you bet I'll be exploring the oceans and settling far off lands as soon as I can.
What's that? A mineral pod flying without a transponder?
>>558360975Mine now. It's not listed in the recovery data, but I think it was full of beryllium.
>>558360934>elk and boatThe sheer amount of infrastructure needed to build a boat means you ahve to settle in one place.the outpost idea is kinda nice.. i might explore it.I always liked the idea of games where setting outposts have sense.
Wake up DEG bros.
>>558361159is this rings of saturn?
>>558362378>The sheer amount of infrastructure needed to build a boat means you ahve to settle in one place.fair enough, though you could also use that to "trick" your brain into accepting not constantly moving on, you know? At the end of the day it's probably the same phenomenon that makes people never finish games because they keep starting new ones, or never get far into an RPG because they're constantly thinking of restarting with a new class. Our brains crave and reward novelty, so focusing on a single thing (be that a single game, or a single location in an exploration game or whatever) can feel very broing sometimes, because the gratification of building a cool base or whatever is delayed compared to the instant gratification of going out and finding new shit.>where setting outposts have sense.I mean in a creative game like VS it still relies on you setting your own goals to some extent, but if you want to travel to the pole for instance, then outposts are definitely useful as a place where you can store supplies, hold out for the winter and prepare for exploring further out.
>>558363449You tried that npc mod? I wish VS had some Npc's, i disdain playing MP but playing sp can be boring and the sheer amount of work one needs to be doing is clearly meant for multiple people.>At the end of the day it's probably the same phenomenon that makes people never finish games because they keep starting new ones, or never get far into an RPG because they're constantly thinking of restarting with a new class.Been there done that - i have like 500hrs in Skyrim and i never got past the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller quest.
>>558363449>>558363904I'm curious how you fucker plan to play VS online. I'm playing it solo and I struggle hard to not starve to death.
>>558363051Yes
>>558364379Well isnt survival in MP easier?You have multiple people that can do multiple things at once, unlike in sp where you are flying solo.
>>558364439I played it like 3 years ago I think it went through a few changesinteresting
>>558364515You also have more mouths to feed, and animals aren't easier to hunt online.
>>558364515In default VS settings you eat a lot. Unless settings are adjusted everyone will be spending most of their time foraging or hunting
>>558364610True but you get multiple people so conversly farming, foraging, animal husbandry AND hunting is easier and can be done all at once.There is a raeason why people bonded into tribes in our early history.>>558364673Thats also true, i need to tweak the rate down a bit when i start new game now especially given how i have thrist mod.
>>558364765...mmm. I think I see.I'm just worried because with my friend, I'm the permacook/farmer, and Vintage Story is a lot harder than Runescape Dragonwilds or even Valheim.
>>558364874Its always a gamble at first but VS is truly one of these games that benefits from having multiple players in designated roles. And with depth to back it up.
>>558365061My friend and I make a decent team: he prefers to explore and he doesn't mind mining and building.I prefer farming, cooking, and crafting.
>>558365302>>558364874>>558364610Oh and iirc animal spawns scale to the amount of players in MP.
>>558365390Oh. So more bears.Wonderful.Bears scare me the fuck out.
>>558364554They've added a couple new ships, but it's not fundamentally different.
>>558366170yeah it looks mostly like graphical changes
>fell down a tree>see thisAlmost shat my pants..>>558365612But more people to hunt them and mobbing is especially effective even with stone tools.

>>558372565Red and blue + might mean different things. Not sure.

Has anyone played the last spell?
airframe ultra open beta is out for the nextfest
>>558364379I'm pretty sure a person hunting and foraging as a full time job can sustain a group of players until they set up farming, even if it means he has to go out in a bigger radius. In fact I imagine multiplayer being a lot easier because of this. My game is usually divided in "phases">first 10 daysno enemy spawns grace period, first priority is finding a place to settle and building a house. Mostly just eat whatever I find on the way looking for a place and gathering resources>have a house, but no farm yetfocus on getting claymaking set up for farming, interspersed by going on hunting/foraging trips because most nearby food sources are probably exhausted by this point>have a farmat this point I have a mostly sustainable food source and only go hunting occasionallyHaving someone skip right to step two for the whole day, while others can still progress through the "tech tree" to set up a farm sounds super easy. Even if the farm might have to be 4 times the size.>>558363904Wasn't aware there was one. But also I unfortunately try to be as light on mods as possible, so my save isn't at risk of being broken by updates moreso than it already is, thanks to a worldgen update or something>i have like 500hrs in Skyrim and i never got past the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller quest.to be fair that also comes from the fact, that the open world is much more interesting than the main quest. I have 800h and only made it past that quest once I think.
>>558390619>>558364765>>558364673>>558364610>>558364515Also speaking of Vintage Story, foraging and farming. I still in love with how perfectly my first playthrough of this game illustrated the importance of the advent of agriculture. Of course I knew beforehand it was important, but actually "feeling" that yourself, how much time you free up and stress is lifted, once you don't have to spend half your day looking for food and can focus on building and metallurgy for instance is something else. Even just in this simplified form.Though on that note it's interesting that there were still hunter gatherer societies that were able to build quite impressive structures as I've learned not too long ago.
>>558362627>>558372565Cool puzzles in the update but the rainbow numbers changing colors is disorienting. If they are gonna do that it should be much slower, and not vary between light and dark colors. The developer should know that people who play this game aren't here for flashy colors.
>>558390619>>558391085Oh yeah. Vintage Story is excellent at making you realize how big achievements are. Even going from stones to flint specifically feels rewarding.What worries me is that I suck at hunting, and I'm not enjoying scavenging, so I'm terrible at it. My ideal game is to stay at home and farm, but with Vintage Story's system, it's really not encouraged.
Hmmmmmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD2l5LcrQvw
>>558390072Yeah it's alright, I didn't like the metaprogression aspect though. Felt like you had to go through a bunch of runs to actually get the shit you wanted to play.
>>558392863Is it me or runs are like too long for a roguelike? I'm talking about +5 hours runs
>>558393750I guess, it probably depends on how long you spend thinking about your turns. I was more into it for the TBT aspect, which it delivered on well enough.
>>558395576I'm stuck on what seems to be the final map and it feels like a slog losing a run
>>558396909Yeah that last boss is just silly. I would just concede the run if you have anyone die, the comeback potential isn't great.
Very productive day today. Need to go to sleep and have been falling into the "just one more task" trap I know all too well from Factorio.Finished my house, I'm not used to my starter home being this huge, but with all the new ground storage options I'm starting to find use for the extra space.Also built this little shelter for my pit kiln, though I think I'll replace the posts for thicker logs and move them one out, because I think they can catch on fire otherwise. Also turns out I'm living right on the edge between uncommon and common rain areas, so it's constantly raining over my kiln, but not my house.As soon as the clay vessels, watering can and cooking pot finish I can get the rest of my stuff from the temporary camp, set up a small vegetable garden and get into popper meal preparation.Until then I think it's finally time for a hunting trip, which I could also use to collect any of the wild growing vegetables and grains on the island. Plus maybe take some berry bushes home.
>>558399085I never bothered making a roof for the pit kilns. Maybe I should.
>>558399495I've been plagued by being forced to settle in common rainfall areas most of the time, so it's not like I had much of a choice.
>>558400315You can just leave England, you know...
>>558281010I suck at baba but I will try it again because of this, thank youdo you guys know of any other high quality mods for indie games? ignoring stuff like factorio where they're easy to find

>>558412238I watched a bit of it. It's unfortunate but it feels like temu disco elysium. They're trying too hard to replicate DE and it just comes off as fake.

>>558400392Literally can't until I build a raft playing with house rule that I can't cross large bodies of water by swimming, to encourage building a boat eventually. Also like the idea of being stuck on an island for a while>>558423447>>558424231Yep, those are the basic bitch fences you can make from logs and sticks.
>>558412238>>558419119>>558422875Shame. I think people sometimes underestimate how much of a collaborative effort video games are. Even if you let go the higher ups, you might still have a team of very talented devs, artists and writers left who can do good work I'm actually not up to speed on the DE saga, not sure who exactly was and wasn't let goEither way, it does come off as trying to hard.Truth be told I think this would even have been an issue if they made a sequel or spiritual successor with the exact same team. But now even moreso.

So windrose is pretty neat
>>558426953Though to be fair this is a trick I've learned all the way back in Minecraft Beta
>>558424807You'll have to tell me what seed you use, I've been trying to get something like this but failed.
>>558428032I think the game settings are more important than the seed here.I used>Landcover: 50%>Landcover scale: 300%in advanced world settings >>558360934To make sure I toughly get what I want I also generated the world, hopped into creative mode (/gm 2) and enabled noclip (double tap F3, F1 & F2 for speed control) and flew around for just a minute or so, trying not to spoil myself too much of the map but just to see if it looks roughly like what I want.Then go to the menu, copy the seed from the world I just flew around in and generate it again, this time adjusting all the settings and so on.I thought I would have to repeat the process a few times, but found this one right away and was happy with it.
3 of my cats ended up downed in the hippo fight, and now everyone is low HP. (First time going the hard route in Alley). Is this an "Cut your losses and go home" kinda situation, or is this a "try to salvage it" kinda deal? I'm not sure I can heal these guys back up and now they all have injuries except the Cleric.
>>558428662>>558428032>>558424807Im always envious of people who manage to generate these nice islands, valleys and shit.I always somehow generate absolute ashlands with spares vegetation and wild differences in height with sheer vertical unclimbable cliffs..
>>558427071Yeah, dwarf metal is cool.
>>558429412Islands sound good in theory but in practice it suck, because;>Spawns are fucked so 1 island will have like 7 bears on it while the other has none but 10 wolves>Ressource gathering is a pain because one crucial ressource may not be found on your spawn island and is overall very limited>Any sort of travelling or exploration require a slow ass raft which cant be upgraded until way later on>Going into copper and iron age is an absolute pain due to less ground coverage = far less chances for surface copper to spawn
>>558428970Please respond
>>558429412I have that issue too, it's painfully obvious when I'm moving from a forest biome to an hill biome to a plain biome.
>>558432423Never played that game so can't help.
>>558433071I'll see if I find a thread on /v/ for help I guess.
>>558425018I think a direct sequel would have faired far better. What creates an actual uncanny valley here is they're trying to match DE but just changing out the names and voices. There are actual lines in the demo that I'm pretty sure are lifted directly from DE too and that just makes it worse for anyone who played it.I suppose they figure they burned all good will with the existing fan base and none of them are going to play the game so they can just copy things directly and the new fanbase will be none the wiser.
>>558422875ew
>>558425018>I'm actually not up to speed on the DE sagaI haven't even tried to follow it, but it's clearly been a clusterfuck.
>>558440529good DE memes are rare, but when they hit, holy fuck they do
>>558429412>>558431573>>558432462Well as I said, I can recommend messing with the world settings a bit and doing a little "testrun" of the world in creative just to see if the area around spawn roughly looks like what you'd like it to be.
>>558438115Kinda depends on how you'd do it.It would definitely feel a lot less out of place to have DE sounding writing in a game set in the DE universe. But another draw was the whole thing of you talking to your skills and from what I recall it's heavily implied that this is something unique to Harry, so I'm not sure if you'd have to come up with something similar yet distinct which honestly would still feel like copying DE imo or have Harry be the playable character again, which would cheapen any impact of the first game, at least for me for a variety of reasons>>558440529Yeah, I've seen some dude has done a multi hour documentary on it, that I was meaning to watch, but then he made another update video of the same length and I'm honestly not sure if it's worth my time, especially if it's a developing situation.
>>558428970you could definitely recover by just playing it safe for a few rounds if you wanted, especially since your cleric is the healthier one
There is only one DE like I care about

>>558446143>>558432462Speaking of VS - is there some block with boards on top or do people actually chisel these comfy paths through their villages/homes like in this vid at 0:47 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMDEtVRZX98
>>558451420I believe it's this. Though I've never used it so not sure if that's what it looks likehttps://wiki.vintagestory.at/Path#Wooden_Path
>>558428970Salvageable, but depends on the situation. Your cleric would be very helpful, but ideally you'd have a second form of healing from items or something like that. Injuries aren't run ending, I regularly have a cat go down on the more challenging areas and still usually make it to the end, with a full team. On the other hand, if you had 3 go down at hippo (a relatively easy boss) I'm not sure I'd be confident in the team's ability to take on upcoming bosses.
>>558451917That makes sense.
>>558451917>>558432462>>558446143Is there a VS mod for pump transporting water and fluids?? I play with thirst mod so it would be nice to have the ability to pump water up some hills/places on higher elevations.inb 4 water sources in buckets - i wanted bit of realism.

>>558428970>>558446420>>558452003After hearing that Scrapyard is supposedly actually easier than the sewers, I decided to say "fuck it, I'm gonna keep going", And kept the run. It for sure was a challenge healing the cats back up, but I even managed to take the hard route in the scrapyard, and I guess I lucked out with the boss (the headless duo) being relatively easy and avoidable by being careful and not doing stupd stuff. I think the early game of this is a lot more difficult, because you are relying on cats that usually only have 1 or maybe 2 stats at 7. My rule of thumb now is to never take any cat that has below 5 on the constitution, it just ain't worth it. You can beat most normie enemies with low constitution cats, but bosses will hit back, and having below a 5 is basically just guranteed dead cats.
>>558464738The world in conflict demo.
super meat bros... what happened?
>wood lamellar is a thingVintage Story here I come.
>>558493948I'd more or less agree, with the caveat that things change as you progress. Once you get breeding going and have better stats and mutations, not to mention a bigger box to hold good starting items, the early game becomes much more consistent. At the start though, I would regularly pick classes that gave +con for my less healthy cats just so they could have a decent pool. The scrapyard duo is a real dice roll, sometimes they practically kill each other and sometimes you get fucked because your familiars uncontrollably hit them for 2 damage ten times and now your tank is dead.

>>558498842Isn't samurai armor basically a type of bamboo or wicker lamellar?
>>558526129So I heard, but I honestly find it hard to believe.
>>558526129>>558526178There is a misconception that samurai armor was made of wood, but it was mostly iron plates from very early on. Earlier patterns being iron lamellar and wide iron plates, later patterns being more form fitting iron or steel plate akin to european plate armor.They also knew how to make chainmail and had their own chainmail suits worn alone or in addition to heavier armor.

First time I visit this thread, sorry, I just wanted to ask a question and wasn't sure where to do it.I was looking for randomly generated TD games ("roguelite" TD) and found two which happen to have demos on steam, emberward and gnomes. When I click on download demo nothing happens. I don't even get an error, just nothing happens. I've been using steam for more than 15 years and this has never happened before.

Looks like they added some new Monsters to Vintage Story since I've last played.And I don't know if they always had this behavior that made them scurry away at night. Because I fucking love it. Seeing weird shapes over the hill behind my house run off as the sun comes up is a lot more spooky then having to fight them each morning, in my opinion.
>>558595082Yeah, spiders and human ballistas.
>>558595249I just love the vibe.I woke up on some island, started settling it and at night unknowable horrors come out that I only catch a glimpse off through the window
>>558595884
So I read this game has multiplayer?
ESOTERIC EBBROS
>>558595082First time I played VS I was wandering through a cave, turned a corner, and found myself within kissing distance of a bowtorn. Panicked and accidentally threw my torch as it waddled away, I fumbled around until I found the exit and sprinted, and right as I got out a big spike of bone embedded itself in the ground beside me. Ran home, turned the game off, and didn't touch it again for a week.Hell of a first impression.
I would absolutely love to play a handcrafted Vintage Story map one day wouldn't even be surprised if there is one out thereNot even necessarily a 100% handmade one, the world generation can be pretty good as is, but just someone going over a procedurally generated map and placing some ruins/traders by hand and maybe just adjusting a few terrain features here and there.Because the better ruins and better traders mods add some really cool structures to the game, but that makes it even more disappointing that they exist "in isolation". Like I've got picrel in the middle of my island (screenshot taken form modpage) in a zone of temporal instability. But it sucks to know that that's just a happy accident, none of the structures around it really relate to it and any thoughts about who built this place and what made the island special to them is just shit I make up in my head.Same for traders. There is a trader who lives in a little fortified hut near this temple in the middle of an open field. I can headcanon that he felt drawn to it and scavenges around it occasionally. But that's just a silly headcanon that doesn't make sense considering the things he sells.Plus if all the stuff was placed by hand, you could have breadcrumbs leading from one point of interest to the next
>>558596995That's eerily close to my first encounter with one of those bell head motherfuckers, whatever they are called.Hearing that sound and having no idea where it comes from or who makes it was peak horror. Especially since at that point I've only ever encountered drifters (and I'm not sure if the game even had any monsters beside the two)
>>558597565VS is just real fucking good at horror in general. Looting an abandoned mine and hearing a bell up ahead, then hearing them everywhere as more spawned in from behind, was a level of dread I haven't felt since nighttime in Darkwood.
>>558594074lol

>>558598770Agreed, and I honestly haven't even engaged with most of that stuff so far. Have barely explored any caves gone out at night...in part because I'm too scared, not gonna lie.>DarkwoodDon't even get me started man. Just the other day I thought about how that game made me jump at literally just pixelated text on a screen.I was exploring some house that I was convinced was empty, suddenly the music faded out and I was left with deafening silence only disturbed by my footsteps and something moving around outside turned out later it was just some animal, but I didn't know that at the time and all of a sudden I see a line of text appearing in the darkness and it literally made me jump.To this day I'm impressed how the game managed to pull that off.Combed through my screenshots folder and I think it was this place, but I can't be sure.

>>558624884Please assume I'm retarded, computer illiterate, and American, so please use very, very simple terms.
>>558624973The game doesn't have a server browser so you have to host it like you were hosting a Half Life deathmatch server. That means going into your router and forwarding ports.

I finally get it.
>>558625546Your computer has an address in the network. That's the IP.When you access the computer from outside, you don't just "access the computer", since it does many things. You access an address AND a specific port. For example, to browse webs on http you use port 80, when you use https you use 443.In general, ports are kept closed unless you are going to use them. by opening the ports you allow connections using that port.NOW, chances are you are connecting to a router, which is what "provides you with internet", that means that for the connection to reach your computer you need it to go through your router, meaning, the port in your router must be opened too.Any problem or question you have can most probably be resolved by chatgpt or an LLM of your choice.I don't really care if you get to host this server, but chances are that you are going to be alive for a while, and computers are not going to stop existing for the time being, so it's nice to understand how they work. It can improve your life. Cheers.

So it looks like absolute trash now, but I'm aiming for some sort of stepped terrace farm design for my agriculture on this one.I think 4 fields plus the little vegetable garden I have will be good enough. My main problem is the lack of good soil. I'm thinking of doing a very under-prepared expedition to the continent to see if I can't find something good

And there was shittons of it nearby that I found later. Plus it had limestone in walking distance by pure coincidence. I did walk quite far from spawn to settle down, but it was still mostly chosen at random.>>558701002I'll check it out. The thing is, I still want to keep the aesthetic as simple as possible. because once I get into super elaborate builds, that raises the standard I will aspire for all future buildings and I have first hand experience how that "softlocks" me from progressing, because I'm not in the mood to make a super pretty build, but also can't progress because I need a new building like a windmill or something to move forward.
>>558702668This looks like a less autistic Mechwarrior 5.That game filtered me HARD.>>558702723I keep forgetting how much shit is locked behind saws. If planks are so life-changing in real life, how did people live before them?
>>558703254it's less autistic in some ways, more autistic in othersradars and simulated and there's a proper infolink system. disabling radars also disables IFF for your teammates so you always have to keep that in mind. camo nets actually work on larger maps without additional mechanics and it's really fun to ghost snipe people.

Especially because I sometimes like to postpone metallurgy simply out of RP reasons, because being a pre-copper farmer is kinda fun in its own way.There is the ancient tools mod https://mods.vintagestory.at/ancienttools but I feel like it fucks with the progression too much
>>558703991...ah.Back to Mechwarrior 5 then.>>558704034That's always the issue. But honestly I'd like an old-time pressing machine, it's a bit unfair that alcohol is locked behind anvils.Then again, not like alcohol is that good ingame, but precolombian civilizations barely had any metallurgy and they still had alcohol, that... mezcal? I think? The thingy made out of cactus juice.
>>558704034This might be too much adventure for me>explore around and find a geothermal pool, never seen one of those in my life>get distracted by berries on the way to it and find a second LARGER geothermal pool, or rather a whole cluster of them>instantly get jumped by a bear>what the fuck is his problem, I thought they were territorial>get chased by bear, good thing this game has no stamina, manage to jump in the ocean and lose it>hopelessly lost myself, but at least I found some medium fertility soil>decide to head home, if I walk along the coast I should find my raft evnetaully>fucking hail catches me in the open, didn't even know you could get damage from that. Found a one block overhang to chill out under...guess that's where I'll sleep tonight
>>558695653
>>558705495I doubt it can help but, but "forest floor" also get turned into medium ferility soil when picked up.
Whelp just about when I was about to put this game to rest, I found new content.
>>558704034>starting to have some doubts about this whole finding fertile soil thing.Go south. The map has temperature based on latitude. Terra preta is always a few days on foot to the south.
>>558708392the hell, I played this game like 10 years ago
>>558708767This is my first time playing it, I beat the original now I'm playing the "redone" version and they apparently added a new world in the redone version.
>>558708862is it still https://alpha.shark.tobot.dev/
>>558708937No, that's the original.https://spencers145.github.io/SharkGame/
>>558709027thanks, I'll try it
First boss down.
>>558709284I actually have a question for you, did you ever end up getting back to your own world in the original?
>>558710087buddy I haven't played in a fuckin' decade
>>558710360It's okay I answered my question through the source code lol
>>558600581To be fair this is a godawful squatting posture, actual squatting is heels to ground and in fact you can hurt yourself with this pose because it put too much tension on your feet tendons.
>>558710816He probably has the problem most chair-sitting europeans have where their tendons or their calf muscles are too tight.
>>558703254Mw5 is pretty arcadey thoughbeit
>>558708089Wait really? I thought it turned to low fertility. Especially since forests have quite poor soil irl from what I recall.>>558708668Interesting.>a few days on foot to the southyeah...about that.
>>558712503Whut? No, IRL forest floor have excellent soil. Unless it's a pine forest, pine have an extremely acid sap and will destroy local plants.
>>558712910Not another one...
>>558712878>Unless it's a pine forest, pine have an extremely acid sap and will destroy local plants.The fact that pine needles are slightly acidic gave way to this belief, but it's actually for how tightly compact their needles they are as a whole and don't let any light throughit's an evolutionary tactic to discourage growth of other plants to steal their nutrients
>>558712878Maybe I'm mixing stuff up. I know that Rainforest soil is for a fact very infertile, because all the nutrients are either tied up in living or freshly dead things and have no time to get into the soil.>>558714081God, nature is so cool
>Nacon is on the verge of bankruptcy>They immediately launch a steam saleme on the left
>>558705567but anon, have you considered it's a commie game and they never criticized it?
>>558722834Criticized what?
>>558724746
>>558725046>communists critiquing other communists because the communism they like isn't the one being installed or in the public zeitgeist because Marx was a chad and Engels wasn't.I don't see the point here, communists have been declaring every communist nation and even other communist parties of not being communist because "they did something I didn't like" since the ideology existed.
>>558725046>yet another bad copy of disco elysiumit's all so tiring...
>>558725287And if they criticize communism for the entire game? There are multiple self proclaimed communist characters in the game, all of them are horrible in one way or another.
>>558725046I *hated* all the emphasis markings in Disco Elysium
>>558726037Are there any communist characters that aren't horrible or is there a least horrible character? No this isn't a trap, I'm actually curious. Most likely the author took elements he saw in the modern day Communist movement and basically parodied them into people.>>558726187I think he should have used more color-coded words if you ask me. Maybe custom icons, but that might be going way too far and get obnoxious.
>>558726187devs couldn't afford a front with CAPITALS, italics *and* Bold
...or their text system doesn't allow "quote" marks nor other hyphens --
>>558726320The communists you meet, off the top of my head:Evrart Claire - The union boss, a sleazy and so openly corrupt that both his enemies and underlings acknowledge it. Lies to you basically every time you talk to him. You can discover that he's trying to break away from the company, and wants to traffic illegal drugs to make money. Towards the end of the game you can also find out that he orchestrated events to try and start a violent conflict involving civilians to have an excuse to break away.. Not to mention he ordered a hit on the previous union boss, in order for him and his brother to take her position.Call Me Manana - As his name suggests, he just wants to be lazy and not work. Directly tells you he just wants to have it all for himself. Probably the most affable of everyone here.Cindy the Skull - More anarchist than anything imo, but pretty sure she gets labeled as commie and is part of the quest. A rebellious artist who vandalizes walls and hates the establishment.The Students (can't remember their names) - These guys are the main meat of the quest, they're two students who have ran off the rest of their group by being extraordinarily insufferable. Basically the stereotypical commies you mentioned, they constantly go off about how X is fake communism or Y is bourgeois. Part of the quest is reading one of their books, where it goes into describing how communists are literal psychics that can speed up plant growth and have better sex and can crush airships with their mind.The Deserter (if you know you know) - The guy who actually killed your murder victim. Fully insane, still fighting a war that ended decades ago because he's bitter and can't move on. Stalks a woman and watches her bedroom through a peephole. Racist and sexist too. Takes potshots at whatever he doesn't like, whether it's objects or people. Killed the former union boss for the Claires.
One of these days I gotta nut up and keep playing Darkwood.
>>558730435Post got too long, but pretty much all the "good" characters in the game are the ones who avoid ideology. The MC himself has multiple conversations throughout the game which more or less spell out how he's not an actual believer in any of these ideologies, how could he be, he's an amnesiac and it's been less than a week. All the political posturing is cope for him to try and get his girl back. Whether it's through being a "normal" person as a moralist, being a man of the people as a communist, having money as an ultralib, or forcing her as a fascist. There's one character you can talk with near the very end of the game, where you meet a giant stick insect and hallucinate a conversation with it. This is basically the least political character in the game, running on pure instinct. It's also the happiest and most uplifting character, who tells the MC to move the fuck on. This is in direct contrast with the deserter, who's a communist who can't let go and move on. More or less a bad end for our MC if he goes down the same path.To sum it up, yes some of the devs are commies. No, that doesn't make it a commie game. The entire story hinges on how none of the political views actually helped any of the common people, all these grand ideologies are just cope for personal problems. It's basically an anti-/pol/ game, and that includes leftypol and all the other shitflinging that goes on.
>>558730435>Killed the former union boss for the Claires.huh i missed thati feel like there was a whole line of shit for him i just didn't find in my run, including the peephole stuff
>>558733158Yeah I can understand if people play the game and miss out on shit so they have a different viewpoint on things. But I get annoyed when people who've never touched the game just parrot opinions. Doesn't apply to just DE, seems to happen all the time.
>>558733923>But I get annoyed when people criticize thing i likeholy fucking autismget that checked out
>>558735035>has to resort to misquoting meHit a nerve, huh? Plenty of people don't like the game and that's completely fine. My complaint was not about that.
>>558725046wtf I didn't know communism was based
>>558739209>holy shit I literally cannot stop sucking cockKinda weird to post about on a video games board but okay.
>>558739209You got me anon, I'm actually here to break in and steal all your socks. I'm the worst of the worst.
>>558739517>I'm the worst of the worst.DIOS MIOA LIBERAL!
Kim is a moralist therefore moralism is correct except for when Harry's anarcho communism with radical liberast characteristics on the dance floor is correct.
>>558705495>>558704034>>558703254>>558702723I found myself a picturesque forest spot with tall trees, grass, some water etc but all soil aroud is fucking low fert..I hate VS terrain generation sometimes.
>>558750525I went moralist because I got prompted for it and of all things it just genuinely felt like the only serious option
>>558752054Nevermind, brown bear fucked me over.
>>558712503Yeah, forests are low fert.
>>558726187They are *true* to the source material.
>>558726187Yeah, it looks like a nigger-rigged syntax system that somehow broke before shipping and nobody bothered to fix it.
>>558726187>>558753427>>558730185And yet every time I see it, I read text like this in the narrators voice in my head
Anyone still plays zomboid?and if so, is this the best place to talk about it? or is there something in other boards?
>>558771927/vm/ has a general for it.
>>558771927I do.>>558772205Nice, i miss the one from /vg/..
>>558399085is VS still hard and depressing as shit if playing solo only? also did it ever come to steam?
>>558771927There's basically more zomboid ITT than in the /vm/ general because you posted a zomboid screenshot.
>>558472798So what is this little channel then?
>>558726187"This" anon is still "weak"
>>558772818whats the states of affairs over there, to be this bad?
>>5587734694chan PZ fans are some of the sourest, most stuck up cunts ever.
>>558773469I don't know, I just glanced at the current thread and didn't see any screenshots of the game. Looked like a typical circlejerk thread past its expiry date. Mind you, there was still some talk of the game and some modding posts as well.
>>558772629>also did it ever come to steam?Supposedly creators said they will release on steam when ready.>depressing soloI really wish they made even basic npcs, especially marriage and kids mod - imagine playing as a elder of an entire tribe, all that creative shit would have a purpose.
>>558774676>especially marriage and kids modI'm guessing it means there aren't any yetdesu, making meaningful npcs is a hard task, such is the curse of Zomboid as well, unless you make dumb founded minecraft like villagers
when is midline getting the broken super capital that shits on the whole game
>>558775612Simple feature where you set up a "village" borders and then have these npc's travel only in the confines of it would be fun. Make them work the field tiles and cut grass.And add simple "spots" that you can simulate foraging/woodcutting/huting if linked to nearby storage container and assigned a villager, all at the heavy debuff.It would be enough desu, for start at least..
is quad pilum pegasus cooking or nah?
>>558772629>is VS still hard and depressing as shit if playing solo only? Yes. Very.>also did it ever come to steam?Lol. Devs said that it will never happen.>>558772838>So what is this little channel then?NTA but that's form a mod. https://mods.vintagestory.at/primitivesurvival>>558775612>>558774676>>558775928> imagine playing as a elder of an entire tribe, all that creative shit would have a purposeChunkloading is and always will be the reason why that will never happen.Some Minecraft mods have tried to work around that, like with MineColony and chunkloading around the city.But in general it is impossible. The closest thing you can do something like that is in Rimworld or the Dynasty games.
>>558709954Bro you're supposed to do a pacifist run...

>>558778503You can skip the other 3 iirc

I just reached e numbers in Balatro for the first time. The deck was Bloodstone with Blueprint and Brainstorm, then I had the dice to make it 2/2 and Sock&Bussy. Every hand was a face card flush with 4 steel cards. Zodiac deck is super fun.>>558279995Wait fucking what? Magnus Opus DLC? What the fuck lmaooooo
The Abyss...is too Pale...
>>558801932I don't know why but this reminds me of the Ringed City in Dark Souls 3, are you also gonna encounter Princess Filianore and her egg?
I don't get it. This looks like the only solution.
>>558804670I'm retarded. I forgot to close off the 5 at the top.
>>558805571all puzzle game indie posts have one thing in commonyou post "I don't know how to get through this" and then less than five minutes later they post the solution while facepalming
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2eoexzZS7AI wish this game had nicer art direction but it's looking pretty cool to me, most games would've forced co-op yet it seems like you can still get an interesting experience by playing solo
>>558802151No, just red skeletons and blue shrimps
Do you guys think something crippling indie devs growth is the fact that they make games without any new interesting mechanic or try to bandwagon recent trends without A SPICE?I feel some indie devs tend to make games only they enjoy but the public would rather ignore it because they're not interesting or novel enoughOr maybe it's just luck?
Well that's it, i played enough demos>WanderburgSurvivor-like mixed with medieval Mortal Engines. Meh>DIVE or DIEDave the Diver but it's in Darkest Dungeon universe.

>>558825267I'm not sure Darkest Dungeon fits into "incredibly obscure game"
>>558825649I never heard of it, so it is.
>>558825649How? Maybe the art style is kind of similar but it's a completely different type of game.

I just played the Scott Pilgrim game for the first time, it was more annoying than fun. Guessing you need to play co-op. The demo for the new game out next week feels better, but it's only a sliver of the full game so it might have similar annoyances
>>558859798One thing that already seems like a downgrade in the new game are the shops, they're not modeled and the shopkeepers are a still image rather than an animated sprite

>>558859226GW was mad because one of the characters in one of the scenes in one of the trailers had pauldrons that were too large.
>>558868463Nta you're replying to, but sometimes I genuinely wonder what kind of turbo kike GW's got in their legal department, because shit like this is relatively common. Ie I still despise them for effectively forcing the astarte animation guy to cease n desist only to employ him and lock his works behind a subscription service, even going as far as to copyright reactions to the original video. GW's id one of the few companies id say would be a net improvement if they were gone from the picture asap, they're effectively a drain on their own setting due to greed and enforcement of monopoly for figurine trading.
>>558859226The devs removed the offending trailer which apparently had pauldrons that were too 40k for their lawyers or something.
>>558870687>>558868463Are you being serious here

>>558832903Reread rule 2 very carefully.
>>558874815I don't know what's more insane between GW DMCAing a game for oversized pauldrons, and GW being okay with everything in Void War EXCEPT the big pauldrons
>>558772629>is VS still hard and depressing as shit if playing solo only?Dunno, I feel like once you figure shit out the difficulty is perfectly fine. In fact I imagine playing multiplayer would be almost too easy.>>558772838>>558778005Nope, that's just a log I've chiselled and placed into the water to make it looks like an irrigation channel
Thoughts on Shadows of Doubt?I played the Demo years ago and liked the concept, especially how you had to actually do "real" detective work by combing through files and addresses and shit and every person not connected to the case had a full routine and simulated life.But the performance was abysmal and when it came out I've heard the content was very samey.I've watched some gameplay and looks like it's gotten plenty of content and the performance has gotten better?
>>558882263I believe it was the only thing they deemed similar enough to their IP to be legally actionable.
>>558882263Like the other anon said, that was all they could get VW on. You gotta understand legal action like this is all about the intent behind it. GW doesn't actually care about the pauldrons, they just want to cut down a potential competitor. Obviously they're not going to get support if they say that out loud, so they look for shit they can get the courts on their side with. The main purpose would be trying to scare VW devs with potential future legal action, since the big corp is going to have deeper pockets for lawyers than some nobody dev. The other side of it is that US IP law is retarded, if people don't defend their IP then the law basically says they don't own it. So people get stupidly litigious over small shit like that. Of course, all of this could be GW lying about the whole thing to save face.
In Blue Prince I finally made it to the antechamber and got the basement key, but I didn't know that was the reward. I had the fountain cleared for like 10 days but decided to drain the pool in my previous run since I had no idea when I'd stumble on the basement key. Since I didn't get Pump Room this run, I had no way of draining it again, and since I also didn't get the room to store items I had to give up on the key despite having 90 steps on me.I'd also like to know if I need to drain Greenhouse in the Pump Room to draft it because I've never seen it so far in my 12h of playtime
>>558888994No, it can only be drafted on certain columns from certain directions.

>>558897894>based D&D statsOff to a good start. We eating good tonight for once.
>>558872821It is Games Workshop were talking of here, they're notorious for their incredibly predatory application of IP's to shutdown percieved competition. They're similar to Nintendo on that matter, the kind of folks to patent basic gameplay or concepts then sue you for pattern infrigement.Like im not even surprised it happened, and they did way worse before. Ie google up "games workshop legal debacle" to get an idea how they allow themselves to behave.
>>558897860>ValhallalikesYou fucking piece of shitFuck you
That's a good haul. Hope this is enough for a farm to supply this base. Just my only enemy seems to be spoilage. Even in crocks a bunch of my food spoils super fast. I'll need to dig a cellar and maybe get some bees going to seal some of those fuckers for the winter.Also exploring with the raft is a lot of fun. Really makes me look forward to getting a boat in the distant future.
>>558906854Yeah, I feel like food spoilage became buffed: I used to have grain that could last 4 years in a crook. The boat is insanely expensive but it has a LOT of room.
>>558905548What did I say?
>>558907781You said the V-word.
>>558907534It really put me off, I could have sworn shit didn't spoil so fast when I last played a year or so ago.As I said, I hope it just means that I need to set up a cellar and some beehives to prepare before winter
>>558908220No, it didn't. I assume nobody used fat for the crooks since the preserving bin was enough.
>>558907916What's wrong with it?
>>558909994it's clear the man yearns for more, but has been denied
Been playing Tiny Rogues and really enjoying it. Love how with each win the game slowly introduces new things, and that runs are a reasonable length. The fact that the meta progression isn't cancer like a lot of roguelites definitely helps. Though I have to say it feels way too easy to get overpowered. I have no idea what the floor 10 boss even does because the times I've made it there he just dies in seconds. The difficulty seems to slowly increase so maybe it gets harder later on. Though I hope it doesn't become one of those games where instead of balancing the player the devs instead balanced the game around the played being overpowered.
I didn't want elves.
>>558915196Oh, I know that game.It's odd even for an idler.Never got the appeal of the thing.
The more I play Return to Moria, the more I dislike it.>totally random map, not even general guidelines, just vague biomes>attackwaves are really strong, enemies hit hard, fast, and don't get stunned for long, and attack in large waves>because of the retarded system, you can get fucked by RNG if you don't find enough statues to restore, good luck going through 9 oakenshield until you get a shield you can actually repair>inventory drop on death coupled with extreme vertical design means that you can die in a massive chasm, leave all your stuff midway, and go through all the descent completely naked, arriving to your loot out of HP and fullness and thus dying right away

The negro is died.>>558923308>>558923448I think I already mentioned it was openworld survival crafting slop?
>>558923983Not really. Return to Moria is kinda like Abiotic Factor: there are different areas with their own loot, like the habitations district, the elven quarter, the mines, and the depth.Unlike Abiotic Factor, though, the layout of these is randomly generated, and not in a good way, more like in a "stretch assets to make the game appear bigger" way. It's not uncommon to see the same building twice, thrice.Fuck me, I just wanted a survival game with dwarves and Return to Moria has fun survival ideas, where you can sing while mining to keep stamina or, or having a meal fitting the time of day for higher stamina, or even beer, but the rest is just so bad, it's annoying.
>>558923983KILL THAT BEASTTHEN EAT HIM TO ASSERT DOMINANCE.Also you're standing right where I built my base.
Is it normal to leave your loot in piles on the open floor? This is giving me Bright Nights vibes.>>558924987Are there bases?
>>558925751Kinda, yeah. You can settle anywhere, but monsters and attack waves will target your buildings, so you're encouraged to put everything together. Also block that door leading to the kitchen later, once you have your own grill.
Last time I saw something like that, it killed a lot of bandits.
>>558926761They're harmless, but useless to you until later. Touch it and you'll see.

Well, this is how my story ends.Got really close to solving my first case I think, it was the kidnapping one, it was more luck than skill that I got my first suspect but when I came to confront them I got injured and probably bled out. Too poor to buy medicine and didn't realize I was going to die otherwise I would have searched their apartment for meds with more urgency
>>558929929jesus christ>>558929793Take your time, Abiotic Factor isn't going anywhere.

Anyone hosting Underspace?
Why do they spawn INSIDE my house?! I have lights and torches inside.Already got badly damaged by a bear earlier, I can't take anymore hits.
>>558945053I couldn't get the port forwarding to work, but trainwiz has a server up right now.It just had an update, you connect via your steam ID instead of IP now
oh hey this is trippy
IF I GOT TO SLEEP NOWI WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO WAKE UP
>>558945053Is there even anything you can do with no NPCs or bosses?
>>558950979fuck ur mom faggotdon't need no npc for that
>>558948315Damn I'm jealous
>>558946536Got jumpscared yesterday, when I returned home from a long journey and there is two fucking ballista dudes just chilling in my house.>>558948315I' always undecided on whether or not to turn this feature on or off. Because on one hand most temporal storms just make me run inside and wait them out anyways, so sometimes I just feel like skipping them. But on the other that kind of makes them lose their impact, if it's basically just a timer on mandatory sleep.
>>558279995Are noita creators doing anything currently?
>>558965842I have no idea how monster spawn works, and it annoys me. I keep finding monsters in my house when I come back. And I can't even stay inside during a storm.
>>558968191cute spooder
Okay how do I get past this part in Evoluth??
I am eating every single trap and living in esoteric ebb because I maxed CONThis feels stupid and I have no idea how to get rid of the "You're exhausted" malus, but this is breddy gud.
>>558969060They spawn at light level 7 or below. Which just bright enough that you can't fucking tell if a random corner in your otherwise well lit room is safe or not.They can also only spawn in air or grass above a solid block, so you can place random rocks on the ground or chisel your floors to drigger proof your home. There are a few mods that can show you valid spawn locations.I just use a mod that changes their light limit to level 4.
>>558973864>no idea how to get rid of the "You're exhausted" maluYou have to take a long rest (Sleep in the tower next to Darrow's house)
Who's in charge of the booru? I need to upload 3 images so i can clean out my drawing folder
>>558929929Cool! Free hat!
>>558978821>go to darrow>tell him I won't cooperate>miss the roll by 1 because I'm EXH-2 >DEX dumps my assHeh
>>558979076I don't know, he just calls himself Boorus Johnson and keeps talking about spreading disease to schools and letting the bodies pile up.
I've made it throught the basement door in Blue Prince, I guess it was too naive of me to think this would send me straight to room 46. Though now I'm lost. I pushed the minecart on the right but it seemed like a dead end. Assuming this water is Reservoir, I don't see how it's physically possible to drain both this and fountain and access Basement. I guess I should find an exit that will allow me to come back here but as I've said I only found a dead end and I'm scared of wasting all my steps just searching blindly
>>558928180Did you solve the 5|2? its kicking my ass.
>>558987373>I don't see how it's physically possibleMore magic, just like how the rooms are fucking magic.
>>558987707Forgot I had that queued up.
>>558987373You need someone else to put the water. Maybe some kind of tank?
>>558933247Where the 111 and 24 intersect, both cells cant be empty. You should be able to get a filled cell there which will let you fill out the 33.
>>558988456My guess would be that I need to drain one level of "reservoir" so I can access the boat right in front of me, but I don't have Pump Room this run so I'll need to reset and find the basement key again
>>558813432>Wielders of the EssenceThese fucking retarded swedes.
>>558988908I believe the basement door stays unlocked
>try to take out the robbit with bolts>tanks 25 of them>give up because night is over>remember about traps>make two choppinators>run out of parts to make another plug>fuck it lets see if one works>break the recharging station to agro the robbit in daytime>watch it get taken out with a simple chopinatorThis was easier than expected. But now I need more computer parts.
>>558999590You can destroy computers to get computer parts.Do you have the Japanese area unlocked?
>>558999851>You can destroy computers to get computer parts.I know. The problem is that I'm running out of computers and techstuff to break.>Do you have the Japanese area unlocked?The what now? I barely have an hour in the game.
>>559000398>I know. The problem is that I'm running out of computers and techstuff to break.You'll be delighted to know it respawns.
>>559000398>The what now? I barely have an hour in the game.DLC area, I was told it was offered to everyone after a while. It's a pocket dimension meant to be built in.
>>559000398There's a place in a room with teleporters which takes you to a pocket dimension featuring a small japanese castle. Idea is to use it as a base.Personally I think it's more of a bother than anything because it means you'd have to walk all the fucking way there and back each time you get home
>>559001280Just teleport back home.
>>559001445An excellent idea that can be applied when the guy is like 30 hours further into the game anon.
>>559001602That's literally what I do whenever I'm wounded.Get good.
Popped another robbit. I have enough techstuff now for the mission item.Also picrelated is my temporal base. Didn't know this game had base building.
>>559003137Tried making a soup with water and an alien rump but it came out bad, and when trying to eat it I ended up puking.
Not sure I'm posting in the right place, but I recently started Ruina: Fairy Tale of the Forgotten Ruins, and I'm kinda lost on what to do.There are no resources online to read so I'm not really sure how to play without bricking my character(s) or the ending.Any recommendation on which MC to pick and which party member I should use?
>>559003310Weird, you shouldn't be sick until you ate raw stuff. Follow the soup recipes you find in the PDA.Also, if you find a barrel in the wild, take it. You can fill it with water.I love that part of Abiotic Factor where you can wait later in the game and build your own wooden barrel.Or you can use a barrel you find.
>>559001960You use a mid-late game item whenever you are wounded?>>559003137>>559003310There's plenty of base building, people sometimes make small bases as they progress through an area so they don't have to go back to their main hub each time even.Regarding soups, there are recipes for those, press J, look at the top left corner, they should be somewhere around there.
>>559003559Yes. There are monsters later that will wreck you, and you can't afford to wait for health to regen.The dam in particular was bad memories for me.
>>559003845Anon I'm not arguing against panic teleports, I've even saved myself from being out of bounds doing that once, I even carried the crystal that recharges your stuff just in case I forgot to charge the thing, what I'm saying is that it doesn't make much sense to tell the guy who doesn't even know how to make soup to use an item he won't get for another 30 hours.
Okay so for the 5-6 bucks I got it for Shadows of doubt is definitely worth it. I'm usually not a fan of procedural generation, but this is one of the rare games where I feel like it being procedural generated might even improve the experience for me. So far I'm enjoying the side jobs even more than the "main" investigations and I assume after a while they'll all start to feel samey but until then it's a fun time,Also nice how it has some life-simmy stuf that feels very fitting.
>>559004170...hah. My apologies, I though you were mocking my extremely careful way of playing.
Crafted the hacking gadget and opened my first locked door. Found how to go to the DLC thingy I bought with the game.I don't know how you are supposed to make a base there. There are plenty of power sockets around but I don't really know where would be a good defensible place.Should I move my base there?
>>559004970Oooh, Greek area.I should replay Abiotic Factor, but I made the mistake of settling in the first area, so...And yes, move in. You can steal drawers to serve as chest.
Free food event!>>559005212Will move there then.Also I found the soup recipes. I thought I had potato seeds but I can't find them.
>>559004970It's as good a place as any else, I mentioned before that I consider it too much of a bother to move in and out, but it's your call.
>>559003490Whatever you want, the four origins are the four D&D archetypes (Warrior, Mage, Priest and Thief). I'd say pick Knigh's Child because you can dish out decent damage. Choose the party members so that you have a varied party. Pick easy mode so you can savescum. here the wikihttps://w.atwiki.jp/ruinakokuryaku/
>>559006092thank you
and that reminds me that the Ruina remake trailer is now 3 years old
Can't find enough food. I'm gonna die.
>>559010342Use a food dispenser.
>>559010342Chances are you have some anti radiation tablets here and there? You can eat some irradiated food.You can also as the anon said buy some chips or such.You can also start fishing maybe?I don't think the game gives you enough resources to survive off plants alone at the start.
>>558316324i really dont get the appeal of pixelslop. We're in 2026, not 1986. Then the other side of the coin is these mouth breathers defaulting to "just buy better hardware" to run games that would run just fine on a PS2 but somehow take up 128GB of RAM and 40+GB while shitting up the steam marketplace cause their discordnigger ass is too lazy to compress game files.
What do I do about goblins
>>559010439>Use a food dispenser.Don't know what that is.>>559010630>Chances are you have some anti radiation tablets here and there? You can eat some irradiated food.I'm always eating irradiated food.>You can also as the anon said buy some chips or such.Bought 2 different snacks and managed to survive long enough to farm a few pests to sustain me long enough to make a fishing rod.>You can also start fishing maybe?Trying that right now.
This is comfy. But don't know if the weeb DLC would be more worth it to set up a base.
>>559012076>doesn't know what a food dispenser isWhat the fuck is wrong with you.
>>559012076Look for "sugary slop" in the recipes, then buy the fitting ingredients there.
>>559013225That's a vending machine. Who the fuck says "food dispenser"?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vending_machine
>>559014025It dispenses food and it's erected, ergo it's a food dispenser.
>>558945053Could always just play on one of the dev servers
Beep boop da boop. I'm a haxxor.
Brad Armstrong did literally nothing wrong. Sticky and Rick are groomers.
>some kind of soldier tells me that there is danger ahead and I should stop Beep da boop goes the controller.
>>559014441Can't find them.>>559015328Sadly he's right.Also, you're about to enter an anomaly: so long you don't build anything in there, it's reset at midnight, so you're meant to farm them for materials. Have fuuuun!
Any opinions on Elin? Thinking about buying it.
>>559016015>Can't find them.There's no server browser IIRC ATM, you have to check the game discord for servers people are hosting
>>559016109Very fun weird Japanese game.
>need to steal some secret corpo documents>don't know who have them, only know the building they live in and a few random details>crawl through vent to enter first suspect's apartment>first drawer I check in the room I drop into has the documentsthis game is too easy
>they can crouchThat's cheating!Got a lot of unperishable food. Not bad.
>>559018695OH FUCK THEY CAN COME IN THE BUILDINGS????Also, crouch. You are a mouse.
So how complete/incomplete is ultrakill? game has been on my wishlist for ages
>>559019424Pretty much what it says on the label.Chapters go 4stages => 4stages => 2stages, big boss being the final stage of each chapter, the storyline is missing the final 2 stages.Beyond that, there are a whole lot of encores (which are like extra stages that I don't think anyone expected, really) yet to be implemented, there's a difficulty level which is expected to introduce more mechanics missing as well, every weapon is in though.You probably noticed Fraud got released a few days ago, probably the most ambitious patch to date and ever since holy fucking shit does it go crazy, but sadly it has also worsened performance for many people and introduced bugs here and there, devs are looking to fix stuff at the moment.I want to believe the game will reach 1.0 release within the year but it does feel like wishful thinking to a degree.
>>559019424people have been playing ultrakill for more than half a decade, I'd say it's pretty much complete
>>559021238It's definitely 90%+ of the way there, my only issue is that playing it now would mean getting good at it now and doing it again when the final patch is released.
>>559021982kino game
>>558422875That looks insufferable. Somehow even worse than the previous screenshots.
Literally died of cringe 2 dialogue options later
>>559023118I thought you guys said this game was good
Aaand last power cell looted.
Dafuq.
>>559023210Anons posting that and the sphynx remind me of people posting the lorry driver or measurehead. Personally I'm more drowned out by the Codex entries. It's nice that they made a setting, but holy fuck I cannot remember nor care about all those First Names, Eras, etc.
>>558409878>We brought you Disco Elysium I feel like >>558826959This feels even more personal than >>558818379's "we're really big fans / chinese"

>>559025342I've said this before, Zero Parades is cargo cult rendition of Disco Elysium. Malformed, ugly homunculus, devoid of soul and emotion, shaped in an ugly mimicry with half-understood tropes and narrative tricks.It's, in one word, shit.
>this model
>>559027662yeah they're not exactly subtle
>>559027892>dialogue says suit>pathfinding immediately gets stuck on his suitcasesThis is a demoYou're on the job of making a good impression
>>559028043the dialogue doesn't say suit though.
>>559028231It does afterward. It says the suit he's wearing hasn't been changed for days.
>>559028314is that even a man's model?
>>559028451I don't know man. Ten steps later there's an interaction that says you can use it to go to the roof but it just cuts back without a scene change. Doesn't say it's blocked because it's a demo or anything, just loops back without feedback.
>>559023825The lorry driver and measurehead were silly, but they were silly in a fictional way. Yeah sure all the countries Measurehead was talking about could be compared to irl countries, but there's a layer between the two, it helps with suspension of disbelief. Unless the game is set in modern times, seeing "abyssy" just takes me out of it.
>>559024962You can just host your own server and share your steam number ID now
I was looking at the Beta Decay roadmap and out of 50 features 2 are ready for EA, 30 need testing and the remaining are still work in progress.This shit is not coming out this year or the next.>Patreon gameaaaaah i gettit now
>>559023118I think it's crazy how the two successors to DE can't escape its shadow and be their own thing. Zero parades seems to just be disco prose with a new voice and setting and here we literally just have harry and kim talking to garte.
>>559029214It can be so much worse. These ZERO parades NPC are terrifying. >>559032862>disco proseIt really isn't.
>>559033080I mean>>559027662Literally just feels like role reversal with "the gardener" outside the whirling. It's the same interaction.

>>558988681That doesn't tell me which in particular of the blue or green here is filled. It can be either
>>559045234 (me)>>558988681Oh wait nevermind. I finally got over the brainfunk I was having for this puzzle. the 1,2 is tells me what I need to know
thanks to the anon who recced me project silverfish here a few months back, i finally got around to playing it, and it actually wasn't as bad as i expectedthe good:>looting and explorationmoment to moment exploration is fun and tense, the feel of it is great. experimenting with anomalies, looking for loot, inventory management, figuring out better ways to get around locks, etc. map is fun to explore from what i've played and there is a bunch of secrets and spots you can only find with hints>anomaliesif you don't count a few basic bitch anomalies/monsters ripped straight from stalker, the paranormal surprised me every time i encountered it it for the first time, and NPCs seem to interact with them in different ways too. the world itself isn't super readable, and you'd often have to guess what things do and experiment, which is a good thing. sometimes the game even throws you a few red herrings here and there, and i liked them>emergent stuffwell, i didn't plan on siding with the reds, but the faction for which i've been doing a dead-drop retrieval mission has rightfully put me on the end of their barrel because i haven't paid attention to the mission description and the nondescript bag which i thought was just loot turned out to be my objective. well, now i've got two assault rifles on me with 2 magazines each, and an angry squad of freelancers on my tail (literal), leaving the only neutral faction to be the commies, as i've managed to piss off few other distrustful parties while trying to survive a monster attack. and i don't even know where the red settlements are, i am just... wandering right now and hoping that i accidentally won't make more enemies>gunplayit is tactical and quite fun, non-monster NPCs are pretty smart and you will die quickly out on the open, although weapon feedback (and feedback in general) sucks. i like that you actually have to id targets using tools and general environment knowledge to know whether shooting them is even worth it=>
>>559048576=>the bad:>stockiness and cheapnessit's cheap. undeniably cheap. not because of the stock assets, i've seen other indies do pretty impressive stuff even with free models in ways that never stood out, but just... i feel like the dev doesn't actually like most of the development process and just does bare minimum to plug the holes that are essential for gameplay. animations are bad and sounds are unbearably stock. some things are obviously higher effort than others in the way they are implemented, and there's this weird, specific cadence to it i can't quite pin down, sorry if this comes off as baseless. i guess i am tainted by labour of love solo devs who are autistic enough to spend hundreds of hours on all the little things, but here mechanics and presentation of stuff that's not really the main focus feels skimmed over>not true open worldthe map is just a set of quantifiable levels and your character takes some time to "travel" between them, which i think doesn't fit the stalker-esque gameplay at all. it breaks continuity and introduces cheese. some of my most memorable events in those games happened during travel, which also raised the stakes. bandit ambushes, finding hidden stashes or allies in need of help, etc - it's all abscent from here. the game also takes abad hit to the atmosphere because of that>meleemelee fucking sucks. the animations are bad and have bad telegraphs, feedback is bad and i found myself never being sure about whether my attack would hit or not, and overall it's just unpleasant, which is shit considering that you really don't want to waste ammo on random dogs and zombies>perfomanceit runs on ue5. that's all you need to know. it's okay-ish on high settings on smaller levels, but the moment you go somewhere open and there are enemies, ragdolls, weather effects and other shit, you will have to turn the visuals down
>>559028429Poke all toads is an aggydaggy game

>>559065937let's go bowling!
>>559071658Lately I've constantly been feeling the itch to replay GTAIV. But there's a couple things I dislike about it that hold me back from doing so.Like how you lose your car after most missions, for instance. Maybe there is a mod to fix that.
>you can just walk up a wall because they didn't set collision properlyThis fucking demo
>>559052010Yeah that devanon kept pushing the date back on release for like a year.
The upgrade that makes it so you can't get cold is OP as fuck. Can chill in a vent until the end of time. Currently waiting for my murder suspect to come home from work so I can beat them up and arrest them.Honestly this is my favorite part of the game so far. Figuring out where people live. Finding out their schedules. Determining when it's safe to snoop around their apartment etc>>559075416game name?

>>559058741your filled 8s are also wrong, lmao
I should have craft this from the start.
Cute game.
>>559077202I'd say the best upgrade is the one that disables fall damage. It's hilarious to get spotted on the 10th floor and just smash the window and jump out presumably yelling "you won't take me alive".
So far I've never been able to find any of the murder weapons. I wonder if they just ditch them somewhere, maybe I should search more trash containers around the crime scene, I always forget about that.>>559093760lel, haven't found that one yet but sounds fun.In general I wonder if this game would have been better with a more fleshed out movement system, there have been a moment or two where I wish could climb on an object or jump a little higher. But then I guess I suppose it emphasizes, how you're just some guy.

>>559090451Yeah I got it since.

IE for ones where there is no possibility that you could be wrong. I then use another color X to make an arbitrary choice and mark squares that are ""forced"" assuming that arbitrary choice is true.Solve the 2,3s first
>>559143554project silverfish, i've written more about it yesterday >>559048576. furry stalker pretty muchit's pretty good at what it actually aims to do, but overall it's not a high quality game. i am enjoying it so far, and progression seems to be pretty pleasant, but it's a specific kind of thing and you have to come for a specific kind of experience, otherwise you probably won't enjoy it (although considering that you're talking about abiotic factor, i might be wrong)
>>559145292Oh, that was Silverfish, okay.I'm sadly allergic to furry stuff, so I'll likely pass it.
>>559145256oh hey that's also my webm>>559145396yeah, it can be a turnoff. it's not even that good when it comes it, all characters are very generic humans-with-tails and don't actually play into their traits at all, which is a missed opportunity

>>559196904Probably not, I was just being a little tongue in cheek about that one loli spammer I suppose.Game is Shadows of Doubt like the other anon said. Fun little detective game that takes place in a procedurally generated city where every single person has a full routine. I usually hate procedural generation like the plague but I think here it really adds to the game (at least until the cases start repeating themselves, since they are still "handcrafted" and the game just picks who gets to be the victim and the perp and so on).Thanks to that there is quite a bit of emergent gameplay and the investigation feels more "real" because you're actually forced to connect some dots and find your own leads, if that makes sense.I think it also gripped me, because it's a great concept, but playing the Demo and hearing what people thought when it came out made me realize how lackluster the execution is. In it's current state it also has a lot of room for improvement and I hope someone copies there idea, but for the 5-6 bucks I got it it was well worth it.
We're at bump limit fellas. Can someone make a new thread? I need to go make some taters
