First for Heart of the Machine.I'm robot Jesus.
Wish I had gotten some more thinning to make it a true infinite, but master planning + corrosive wave + a bunch of cycling got a bit silly.
Kinda cobbled this food cellar together. Don't think it's too period appropriate, but I like the vibe it has. Also I can't build a door anytime soon, so have to close of the entrance with gravel or sand.Also had my first death, getting cocky fighting a wolf. I almost started treating this as a soft permadeath run, but I guess that's that.
Lol.The nigger killed himself.
>>560144251>have to close of the entrance with gravel or sand.Use hay bales. You can remove those instantly.>Also had my first death, getting cocky fighting a wolf.I like to place a grave every time I die. I use two stone piles and a fencepost while I'm in the stone age. Chisel proper gravestones afterwards.I also just realized I forgot to decorate the latest one.
>>560144251You can make a makeshift door, I think.
>>560142818imo most of the characters have like 70% absolute dogshit cards. biggest problem in EA
I didn't want to make the cloak armor because I picked the unstealth perk, and I go RIP AND TEAR on the ayylmaos and spookies. But they really left me no choice.>>560144251>>560147389>You can make a makeshift door, I think.It's called "crude door".Don't forget to RTFM for all the recipes. There's a few new blocks that are handy like the crude door.Btw I wouldn't make all the building out of wood. It would be a shame if it catch fire.
>>560147865Remember that if you crouch, you stay invisible, but if doesn't work if you sit down.Also the makeshift fence gate is maybe better than the crude door, at least it doesn't fall down.
This nigger has given me a bigger scare than IS-0059
>>560146484>Use hay bales. You can remove those instantlyGood call, I think I have some leftovers from when I was making my thatch roof.>I like to place a grave every time I dieYou've read my mind. For now I've only made a really shit earth mound with some gravel in the middle, because I was in a rush, but I intend to make it a bit more pretty down the line.How did you manage to put text on the stone? Also funny, my wolf death was only 4 days of on August 4th Year 0>>560147389>>560147865Yeah, I'm using a crude door for my house, but I think those don't count for cellars, though the game doesn't seem to tell you, I just remember reading that on the wiki a while ago.>RTFMOh for sure, especially with how long it's been since I've last played. It was only thanks to scrolling through a bunch of random recipes that I found these cool roofs with grass on top. Originally I just wanted to make a dirt mound for a cellar>Btw I wouldn't make all the building out of woodThere is a layer of packed dirt underneath actually ...are you threatening me?
>>560150056Shift+H to open the guide at the block you're looking at.>>560149468They can use your facilities now? It's already not enough that they block the doors I'm trying to keep closed?
Ah, Earth Dancer! Your dance has brought me joy and happiness. In gratitude, allow me to bestow upon you this recipe.
>>560150581>They can use your facilities now? It's already not enough that they block the doors I'm trying to keep closed?I don't know. It is the first time I play.>>560150056>...are you threatening me?Only with a good time :3
>>560151919...? Where the fuck are you?
>>560152017>...? Where the fuck are you?Hydroplant.I'm also running out of paper for ammo.
>>560152290Why are you holding the gravity cube instead of putting it at your belt? Does it still work if you hold it?
>>560152630>Why are you holding the gravity cube instead of putting it at your belt? Because I only needed it to get down and look for a way to unlock the door. Still looking for a way to unlock the door.>Does it still work if you hold it?Yes it does.
>>560152948>Yes it does....huh. Actually fucking neat, I didn't know that.
>>560147664It's not even that Regent's cards are shitty individually, but how insular his archetypes and setups/payoffs within those archetypes are.
Fuck my life.Had to use emergency teleport as this robot wasn't dying and was filling everything with hellfire.
>>560154953nah i think adding +1 or +2 to a lot of his shitty cards would make them way more viable
>>560150056>How did you manage to put text on the stone?Chisel allows you to rename blocks. You can add multiple lines to make descriptions.
They grow up so fast.>>560150581>Shift+H to open the guide at the block you're looking atI'm aware, that was instrumental to learning the game a few years back, but by the looks of it they improved the in-game encyclopedia a lot. From what I remember it was really hard to find recipes that you made outside the crafting grid like meals or clay stuff for example, but now it's all included. Pretty good stuff.>>560155119Ahh, I see.Unfortunately I have decided to hold off on metalworking, potentially until the next in-game year even. Mostly as a fun little challenge but also so I can wait for the smiting overhaul in the new stable release, if it comes out anytime soon.
>>560154989Good luck, it's a required kill for its components, and it respawn.>>560155860Oh yeah, ingame encyclopedia in Vintage Story is honestly excellent.
im having a fucking stroke
>>560157786yeahi'm thinking i'm gonna install the mod to make after final boss always succeed
Gonna try this laser pistol.
>>560157786Sudden onset impenetrable dyslexia
>>560142818I like those put card on top drawers so I can pass my reusable block that only costs stars to the next round.
>>560157786but the veins remain, seemingly impenetrable.
>>560159106My fav weapon. Just before the lighthning spear.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3495730/Lucid_Blocks/Will be out tomorrow.
The fuck is this Black Fog and I don't have my X-ray lamp.
>>560169094>anon was soon eaten by a grue
>>560143353HotM is great, love everything about it, even the debate minigameExcept for chapter 3 aka kinda-sorta-new-game-plus-but-really-weird. My god does the game hit a brick fucking wall.
>>560169094PANIC
has anyone played Pluto? I did 3 runs and it seems really RNG heavy
>>560104812Came back with fresh eyes and cleared A9 and A10 without a loss. Weird deck to cap it off with, most pure poison deck I've won using.Silent is probably the best character in the game right now. Her Sly discard engine is not only strong in itself but can compliment all the other archetypes. Megacrit please don't nerf my girl she deserves it after StS1.>>559882616bitch lol
>>560181115I think Casualties: Unknown is coming out to Steam sometime this year.
>>560181115cool furry torture sim
Should I buy Paquerette or wait until it's complete?
>>560185904
>>560169094It's a weather event like the normal Fog and Radiation Leak, so you can get rid of it in a similar way. Check your journal for a hint.
>can't sleep>fuck it one runi had way weaker relics but forcing this deck still works pretty much. you're cooked if you don't get upgrades and at least one free energy card
also it's really neat how copying sovereign blade actually makes copies around you and they appear with a little fire flash, i love this shit
also i bought a gorget at the first shop and that shit blocked at least 80 damage over the course of the run, insane relic
So I've finished symphony of the night for the first time (200.6%) and I went straight to aria of sorrow (which was surprisingly short). I honestly don't get all the hate for aria of sorrow's soul grind, it only took me 2 hours to get every soul. The only thing I knew about it was that luck has no real effect on drop/souls (I just went and checked the math, roughly 0.0002% per point of luck, the difference between 1 luck and 100 luck is about a 2% increase for a common soul, it gets significantly worse for rarer soul because it's the exact math is really, really dumb. The increase for zombies for example is only a 0.4% increase from base rate... Which is roughly 1 less zombie to kill on average, 245 to 244 after gaining 99 luck), but here's the thing, most enemies are 1-shots by mid to late game due to the completely broken wall weapons you can find and headhunter keeps counting duplicate souls so you can just cap it in 20 minutes (I found out there was a cap the hard way...) and then grind souls by just finding the closest target to a screen transition. The game is completely FULL of them, it was clearly part of the design idea.
>>560165542>check reviews>all under 2 hourslmao no thanks
>>560188254I'd recommend getting it now. Even without the final content update, it's a pretty big game that takes around 30-40 hours to complete (and honestly way more if you want to get everything possible). What you unlock for capturing all the bunnies and completing the other side tasks is the entrance to the final area which isn't released yet. So it feels a bit anticlimatic, but for 99% of the game you don't feel like you're missing out on something.
>>560199982Do they add content to previous areas or will the final update just be what is currently locked?
>>560200446I'm pretty sure the main game is complete now since that was what the last big update was focusing on. Aside from the last area, there's 2 other things that imply you can't access them yet, and will most likely become available with the next big update, but you need to go out of your way or play for like 30h to even find them.
>>560202203I'm kinda put off by having to search for puzzles it was charming in Void Stranger but I didn't like all the secrets in Baba is You
>can think too hard 12 times on his own>can spam heals OR damage>can leap wherever he wants>psychic can give him full mana too whenever i wantjust hope i keep the head brace
err 6 times whatever
Today I learned that a bear can get out of a hole that's 2 deep in vintage story.And all because I killed a bighorn that didn't drop any fat and was in desperate need for it in order to make use of the pelt.
>>560219174>2 deep3 deep and they can use ladders because fuck you.Fences can however stop any npcs regardless how high they can jump.
Typical game journalist. He got filtered by Mewgenics, and instead of admitting own casualness this guy made 10 minute YouTube video about "importance of quitting".
>>560230947You are making me want to give the his video a watch to see why he is coping about.Is this what they call ragebaiting or hatewatching?
>>560231539Ragebaiting is just trolling. Hatewatching could work.
>>560230947not everyone is cut out for tactics gamesit is what it isjust did my first lab run and this shit is fucking retarded>heat wave undergroundaight
Speaking of tactics game, i'm getting absolutely filtered by Phantom Brigade's second spider boss.
>>560232927is it good?i played a random tactics game called symphony of war: the nephilim saga and it was pretty good if a bit too long.
https://youtu.be/LB2pCvY3T1wspintires dev is making some good shit
>>560233260It's alrightMissions can be a bit samey but the Prediction Engine is a nice system, mech customization is good and it looks nice
>>560233260?
>KCDI went hunting with Hans and now this motherfucker's tied to a tree while three cummy men are getting ready to violate his ass. I left all my armor and weapons at home because I didn't fucking think there will be cumans in the forest. I didn't train with weapons much anyway and my skills are shit. Am I fucked?
>>560236271Wait nightfall, get naked and stab them while they sleep
>>560236271Yes, but also no. I managed to very easily kill them in my save, despite having no idea how to do anything, I think these threes are massively nerfed. Still, try to find a weapon.
>>560231898That's just preference, tho, not "the importance of quitting".
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3905500/Beware_of_the_Cartographer/Not a great art style but I liked this demo, the writing is solid and the cartography gimmick makes it unique for a point-and-click adventure
>>560236271Virtually yes. You can use some experienced tactics to kill them with just your hands. But it would be hard even for someone that has finished the game.
>>560233751yeah that the later battles are a lot more fun
>>560237662Good to hear, tutorial/intro was so hard that it discouraged me.
>>560238818you weren't on the hardest diff right? that's more of a ng+ thing. also i think the cleric style for the hero is really good
Played Cirno Lifts A Boulder and it was a very fun time.It's a collecathon 3d Platformer you can 100% in 2-3 hours. Can recommend for the price and if you got a soft spot for vibing to Touhou music.
>>560242161but where's the boulder
>>560231539>>560230947that's bait, he set mewgenics as the counterexample for something that should make you want to quit but it's just fun so you pick it up again. it's sort of a video about dark patterns of addicting wordle/liveservice games.
>>560240645Not that I know. Most of it was like the webm, I expected an easy fight and I took huge losses.
>>560246018i think it's just the fighter hero is kinda bad there and skirmishers suck ass but have more leveling options. if you had the dex hero they'd kill the backline and if you had the cleric they'd blast the shield guy with magic since that's their weakness, it's very fire emblem esque in the balancing
See, this is why I picked 2 years of HS French.
>>560236410>>560236440>>560237589Anyway I waited until midnight, choked out one and fought another one legit with a butcher's sword lmao(for some reason there were only two of them but w/e I'll take it)Then had to reload because apparently you need to report to Sir Bernard IMMEDIATELY or you lose rep, after reloading the cumans were both snoring so I stabbed them in their sleep
TITUSLOAD THE MINIGUN>>560247140You're better off not understanding what she says, she's incredibly rude.And of course when I complained about it, people went "well huhuhuhu of course she's is rude, she's French loooooooool". She's not even French, she's from Québec, but retards gotta retard.>>560247348Good job.
this is the first time in 1000hrs i've ever gotten to play this card
>>560247471>You're better off not understanding what she says, she's incredibly rude.I know. I haven't let the little French I know get rusty. I live next to them anyway.
>>560247471>webmThe only thing that would be funnier, is if it did that silly anime thing where it launches a dozen missiles that all track independent targets
>>560247996Maybe later, I heard drones are part of the game.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1416070/beta_decay/>Early access disclaimerhopium status?
>>560245427Ah. I do have a hard rule of quitting any game that I am treating like a job. Which has made any form of gacha a nonstarter.
>>560249003That seems extremely fucking ambitious for a first game.
Finally finished Caves of Qud. My God, the plot and writing of this game is retarded.
>>560249003Kenshi prequel looking wild.

I want to play it. Seems like it is farming on your Imperial Knight,

>>560249354it is indeed. it tries to be smart by saying "look look this is literally like in the old testament!!!" but all the inspirations to classic and foundational works nothing more than surface level references that don't align well with the grand narrative unless you enjoy the tumblr quirky hehe haha i am so weird and unusual writingnow go grind dig for the terminal entries in cogminda roguelike with a good fucking story that synergizes well with the gameplay instead of being a retarded linear narrative you are forced to go through
A9 Regent is impossible, who tested this guy?
>>560251642I don't even care how insufferably gaudy the prose was or how stupid and forced the linear main quest was, but the endgame revelations were utterly retarded. Everything really started falling apart after the 1.0 version.
>>560245380Oh the boulder drops in front of her house (iglo) at the start of the game. You need 4 Power to move it.
>KCDPiece of shit stupid eurojank ass fucking game didn't save when I slept for an hour at charcoal burners camp before going bandit hunting, my last save is at the start of the investigation at stud farm, fmlAlso it's kind of funny how Henry turns into a loose cannon homicide detective for some reason while the rest of the rattay guards sent to investigate the matter are just sitting there twiddling their thumbsNext time I'm in a major city I'm stealing everything that isn't nailed down and buying all the saviour schnapps, I'm too old for replaying an hour of gameplay every gaming sesh because I didn't want to waste a bottle
Also you can rob the said stud farm while everyone's grieving and cleaning up dead horses, the merchant chest is 10m away from the crying widow, pimped up Pebbles real good with military grade full auto assault horseshoes, a saddle that lets him carry a metric ton of loot and sick paintjob, future's looking bright when I get around to sell the rest of the stuff I liftedAt first I had some reservations about stealing thinking it will make the game too easy but after seeing the price of good plate armor I rethunk my childish morals
>>560258278>iece of shit stupid eurojank ass fucking game didn't save when I slept for an hour at charcoal burners camp before going bandit hunting, my last save is at the start of the investigation at stud farm, fmlYou can only save by sleeping in a bed you own or rent.Player fault.
>>560258278"waste" a bottlejust use it schnapps are really not expensive after you level up some
I (somefuckinghow) made it to the secret level of Extreme RoTT.I regret things immensely.
my favorite level up method in KCD was slaughtering every bandit on the map. fun and lucrative and levels a bunch of skills
Is this game good? I love sandbox games with depth and autismo.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1206560/WorldBox__God_Simulator/
How Early Access is StS 2?
>>560273380No depth. Just a fishtank with some cute things happening time to time. Dime a dozen "world sims".Nothing really beats following individual stories in df.
>>560274058same as 1 pretty much>can't go past final boss>some balance issues>placeholder art on a few skills and a lot of story>most of the story missinggame is very playable and it's not like you're gonna waste your money, good game
>>560274197I'll wait for ver 1.0. The only problem is other people spoiling me.
>>560252756yeah that shit scares me
>>560249003>named beta decay>open it up>not about my lifestyledisappointing!
>>560250480It is, but also it looks like shit. Hopefully 1.0 will fix it, but there are issues with the building tiles, so it doesn't look as cozy as it should.
Why can't artificial consciousness of people real and have one of a cute girl as my companion?>>560281082Isn't the full release soon?
>>560288472You don't need to sleep, btw. You can just sit to recover energy. You can even sit on the ground if you're that tired.And... yeah, but also I hope not, because this game feels like the Forest in some aspect: there are things that were skimmed over because "we'll fix it later", and it seems like devs forgot it.
This looks positive inviting.
Oh fuck. What do I do?!
My trailer! Noooo! I even named it Artax!
IT'S FOLLOWING ME!
FUCKING TORNADO
>>560245427>that's baitClickbait, that is. Otherwise it wouldn't be in the thumbnail
I lived.My mech is heavily damaged, I lost my trailer and all the tin and copper I put in, and it doesn't show on the map.
