Guys... It's been years since I played an AAA game, what is wrong with me?
>>561882427the prawn is plenty destructible, especially against anything leviathan classhowever, it's sturdier than most things, has really good speed in the hookshot, and can actually hit back
>>561789127I played it, I just don't get the appeal
I'm seriously thinking about marrying this dude cause the mental image of this bitch whimpering while i play with his butt is satisfying
>>561888483uh-huh.
>>561888483that's a dude?
>>561890427It's a twink.Very different.
>>561888483I thought that was a tomboy until I noticed you said "dude". Was he intentionally made to be effeminate or is the artist just a tumblr fag?
>>561888483That's a dude? I thought it was a woman too.The attitude screamed "I'm a feminist and I'm proud of it".
>>561885109The only triple A I have played in the past 3 months has been Anno 1800.

>>561888483This guy has some very obvious pecs. He's a twink, but still clearly a dude.
>>561890427>>561891656>>561892837It's clearly a dude
>>561888724>You are gayFor some reason I cannot help but think of it like a remix of "you are dead" from Total Distortion, except replace the obvious.Thought you were straight? Guess what? You're not!(You are gay, gay, gay)Brought your whole adventure to a quivering halt(You are gay, gay, gay)Your heart has skipped a beat and your brain is foggyYou are so so g-ayAnd now your body is starting to shakeYou are so so g-ay
Fuck me I forgot completely how to play this game.Also I struggle with shit equipement to make money, but damn. I really want to use the sneaking suit, guards keep turning around just as I'm about to catch up with them.

Metal Gear:>Big Boss: Solid Snake! I've been expecting you... I am the supreme commander of the FOXHOUND unit... And... The leader of the fortress of Outer Heaven, Big Boss! I gave this mission to you, a rookie, thinking I could use you to fool the rest of the world... But you were too good. You went too far! Solid Snake! I'm not going down alone. I'm taking you with me! Prepare to die!Snake's Revenge:>Big Boss: You destroyed Metal Gear 1 and made me a cyborg. Now I want revenge.Metal Gear 2:>Big Boss: The nightmares? They never go away, Snake. Once you've been on the battlefield, tasted the exhilaration, the tension... it all becomes part of you. Once you've awakened the warrior within... it never sleeps again. You crave ever bigger tensions, ever bigger thrills. As a mercenary, I'd think you would have realized that by now. You care nothing for power, or money, or even sex. The only thing that satisfies your cravings is war! All I've done is give you a place for it. I've given you a reason to live.GEE I WONDER WHICH ONE WAS NOT DESIGNED BY KOJIMA

How complete/incomplete does slay the spire 2 feels?
>>561919018There's some placeholder art, but it's got plenty of content. I think the biggest thing is balancing, and some obvious things like alternate zones for acts 2 & 3 so they can have the same level of variety as act 1.

state-issued bump
if i launch this around the corner of the starting holy mountain, can i survive this? berskium + glass cannon, right at the start.like drop it straight down and then make it around the corner going back up, will that rock protect me or is this just going to wipe the entire screen no matter what
no. it completely wiped the entire level
I fear all my favorite games will be indies by this time next year.
>>561885109How about AA
>>561946309Wow, you're so cool and special. Fucking loser

>>561940881no way lol
>>561940881Harder materials crumble instead of vaporizing
>>561957816it didnt even crumble. my pc froze, and the next frame of the starting area was completely gone. just the background was left. it told me i had killed 47 enemies. i think i might of wiped the entire starting area.
>>561958872>i think i might of wiped...?
>>561946309>MeleeGod that takes me back, I loved that game as a kid.>Vermintide IIDidn't like it that much if I'm being honest, its an okay friendslop game but it has a lot of weird fuckery behind the scenes with China and Red Shell.>Super MetroidNever played but everyone who loves the Metroid series cooms about this classic.>MorrowindProbably my most beloved and nostalgic game, I'm donig a play through right now. I wish more RPGs would just lean into a more simulationist or mechanical sandbox styles of play. I know that almost all the way to break Morrowind are unintended or left as a "reward" for players who stick around long enough but I don't think Bethesda really understood how beautiful this game really was because of that sandboxing.Also if you want something like Morrowind, I've heard that Tainted Grail really follows that Morrowind design philosophy, but I haven't played it.
>>561959289I envy you fags that got to play Morrowind.Also yeah Tainted Grail is okay. Very fun, through the DLC picks up the difficulty and I find myself doing poor damage with my dual weapons.
>>561959397>I envy you fags that got to play Morrowind.What's stopping you from just buying it an playing now?
>>561959525Nothing. What stops me from playing it is that it crashes. After around 2 hours in, just as I meet Caius Cosadès's abs and begin to explore kwama mines to look for easy prey and bandits, the game crashes and return to the desktop. No explanation, no log, nothing, just an inescapable doom that instantly stop any progress I might do or try. Trying to hide? Nope. Trying to run? Nope! The game always, inescapably crashes.And I did play it back then but I had no bloody idea what I was doing so I just killed everyone.
>>561959041its a game term meaning "killed everything/everyone". in this context, i mean i completely eliminated the entire first "level".
>>561959908Not that, it's the "might of wiped". I'm an ESL so I'm not sure, but shouldn't it be "might have wiped"?
Any new wierd shit?
>>561959968oh, yeah, probably. but english is fucking bullshit. online, only the most anal retentive pedantic fucks care about that. on a website like 4chan, say whatever the fuck you want.but yeah good on you for trying to learn it, any questions
>>561960235Yeah, I have more questions. What's correct between these, I often see them mixed:>wierd or weird>rogue or rouge>cheeseburger or cheezeburger
>>561960319weird.>rogue or rougedepends>cheezebur-is that a real fucking problem? cheezeburger is a shitpost. has cheezeburger really been spammed so much it crosses language barriers?
>>561959659You do know there is OpenMW that replaces the game engine for modern systems right?
>>561960431Alright, so the guy in the Isekai manga who is shifty as fuck and will try to rape the MC's elf waifu? Rogue or Rouge?And yeah, it's a real problem. I saw both words used indiscriminately.>icanhazcheezeburger is deadthat's a part of my childhood gone...

>>561959289>MorrowindThe reason I love it so much is because it feels like you're inside of a book if that makes sense. >VT2I actually have no friends but just really fuck with the combat, characters, and just the fact in that it's an actually good Warhammer game. You probably never got into Cataclysm difficulty and beyond. That's when the game actually gets good.

>>561980995I swear I'm close to making a video on how to P-rank this stage just because every single time I see someone else they overengineer 99% of killsFirst room, cannon the providence, then whiplash the core. That's every drone dead. Kill the maurice and cleanup, it takes like 5 seconds.Second room just sawblade?Third room cannon providence, sharpshooter + railgun maurices, only a guttertank and some fodder left.Like I don't know I guess each person has their own style and all but with the kind of effort the fucking stage requires as it is I'm amazed at how people overcomplicate things.

>>562019179Clair Obscur. I genuinely love this one.

For some reason it annoys me to see everyone jerking off over E33 on 4chan. I sometimes go to mainstream foruns and the kids are all over it, just like Cyberpunk and other aaa shit, saying these games "changed their lives" and things like that.Last time /indie/ told me an AAA game was good it was Cyberpunk, and its just gta with a very basic skill tree tacked on, full to the brim with by the book aaa shit, there is even a whole quest that is all about pressing F (this is literally the default keybind for it) to pay respects to some dead npc, lmao.
>>562082875Nice reddit post, man.
devs really said "Int32.min"
>>562084112>OurselvesWhat a weird way to word it. So its a-okey if I pay or corce someone to do evil, because it isnt my own hands that did it and thus I am innocent, as the act itself was ultimately the result of the hired one will?Also kind of on the nose now that I know this guy is the leader of a merchant guild.
>562090738>reddit pacingDidn't read lol.
>>562090952You do realize writing paragraphs isnt redddit spacing, right?Like you do realize what reddit spacing is, right?Right? I hope you do, because otherwise that'd be cringe.Like, really cringe.

My cobblestone cube starter home is finally starting to look like a proper building, with some multiblock chiseling to break apart the block edges and support beams to create more depth. Just got the ceramic shingle roof installed.Just need more lead for the pretty leaded windows. Unless I get an inspiration chisel out custom windows...
>>562093829Show off!
>>562095424Well my windmill still looks like absolute ass, literally a 5x5 dirt tower.It's probably going to make me an in-game year or two to figure out how to make it look betterer (and get enough flax to make the sails largebighuge as intended)
>>562079525it's a good song but like, that's a bit muchwhen does it play again
Oh shit Grime 2 released. And even starts with a good sale.
>disintegration loop
>>562096726it's been a while since i played it but it gives me shmup feelings so i wanna say during THAT section.
>>562096726when cif picks up the rod
>>562104240Oh I see. Yep, I remember now.>>562103803Never got to that point honestly, I didn't feel like solving the actually hidden puzzles
>>562095424So this is the VS equivalent of MC's a cobble cube.
>>562107931No.
>>562093829>>562096518man, good builds in VS look aesthetic as fuck.i should try and get back into it.
>>562079768now do car accidents by gender per mile
>>562107931No, that's a wood cube with quartered maple logs so it must have taken some effort (and a lot of wood) to create. Maybe he wanted to build more advanced wooden stuff with planks and stuff but didn't have a saw yet.VS has a huge selection of blocks, many even lower tech tier than cobble. Aesthetics are only limited by how much effort you are willing to put into it.Here's an overview of early game (pre-metal age) blocks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ikXpulBZjY
>>562082875Well I'm a few hours into it and it's fine so far. Just got to the paint village. Did you actually play it are you basing your opinion on forum contrarianism? If it's the latter, you're even more of an NPC than the people you're bitching about
>>562110829I fucking hate gestalts.
>>562111054There are worse ethics.But then you can always mod it if you don't like that.
>>562116162Too many status debuffs.
A random horse managed to get inside town without someone killing it. Awesome.
>>562119936All I see is a future beef lasagna.
>>562082875I fucking hated Cyberpunk but E33 is cool as shit
>>562110829Didn't get my interest enough. Watched a lot of videos and discussions and its nothing really that impressive as people make it out to be, also some long ass cutscenes with drama.

>>562082875C77 on release was pretty meh, but they did do a pretty good job of updating it. I don't think it's my favorite game ever or anything like that, but it's solid.
>>562077279They already did.
>>562119936Is this game any good? The only mmo ive enjoyed has been osrs, but i'm kinda curious about this one.
My pet rat died due to pulling too much. Will have to resurrect at the stables later, luckily it costs 6 coins.>>562121450Very grindy, classless MMO with very interconnected crafting system.I heard it is more like Ever Quest or some other pre-WoWification of MMOs. But I have never played WoW and the only MMO I seriously played that was a tab spammer was Tera, so dunno.It is fun for me though. Like a very combat oriented Wurm.
>>562122919Might give wurm a got then.
>>562123096Wurm is not picrelated btw.And Wurm is just a crafting and building MMO with some combat with NPCs.I have friends in the Freedom cluster, and I started a toon and give it 100 hours on the other cluster that I don't remember the name. Liberty or something like that.Be warned. Playing without sub an deed is very hard. And a lot more if you don't get help from stablished player. The game is a hard one.
>>562123764>not picrelated btwYa. I like skilling.
>>562123845Just asked my frens what's their situation on Wurm.I don't know if it is worth revisting or not. It has been 2 years since I last played.
>>562120909I got it on the last winter sale. What bothers me the most is probably the AAA writing, feels like the game really wants you to care about and bond with these npcs and have these heartfelt or impactful moments, even when it makes no sense and there is not enough buildup. Its some teenager shit.Gameplay wise, its as fun as GTA to roam the city, customize your char and fuck around, but all quests, save for some main quest ones, starts to feel the same after a while. Dialogue and roleplay wise, your build and choices seems to matter very little to the story, and action wise, it hurts gameplay variety.
>>562126049>but all quests,>mfw I completed all the side gigs and cyberpsycho onesI found it fun, but then I'm autistic.
I think I have an absurdly broken Siralim Ult lineup in the works here, like end game, max difficulty, any realm bonus (aside for swapped stats). Will report back to you on this soon.

>>561758060>implying I have glass in the early copper ageI'll keep it in mind for later>>561639314>>561646078Fucking Christ. Didn't have internet since friday and it took them this long to fix it.Anyways, as the other anons mentioned, it's a deep mine in an area rich with copper. I've hit 2 deposits and potentially detected a 3rd just by digging straight down and haven't exhausted neither of them so far.Plus I just love building roads, it gives me the feeling of taming the wilderness. Also parts of this island are very hilly so it's nice to just have a predetermined path I can take to most places on the island without having to hold the jump key or think about my route.Got a bit bored so made a rough plan of which POIs I have on the island and how I want to connect them. The Tree Shrine is from better ruins and is basically a huge tree in the middle of a ruin plus a half of the flatland around it are temporally unstable, so my headcanon is that my character would have both revere and dread that place.Plus once I get into the bronze age I want to start building a sailing boat to explore south, so I'll need a location to build and dock it later down the line.With most of my mine being dug now I'm thinking of maybe also adding a stone quarry somewhere along the mountainside
Also just want to double down on how pretty this game looks.Turning down the resolution a bit and cranking up the view distance makes exploration so much fun. Climbing the top of a mountain and seeing this huge lake beyond it feels amazing. And the lower resolution making things in the distance hard to make out adds to the desire to go there and check it out.Especially ruins are fun, because you can barely tell if it even is a structure or you're just seeing things. Really adds tot he mystique and the vague horror elements Vintage Story has>>562093829Cute. I think this is very close to that sweetspot of not being too detailed to be realistically built in survival mode but also not being a shitbox. I always struggle striking that balance.I can't wait to unlock beams in my save, haven't played since they got introduced I think
Good morning /indie/
>>562093829>>562174218This just looks like a bootleg Minecraft.
>>562173875>_edited.jpgDid you know there's map mod that lets you do huge text annotations like that on the map in-game?
>>562176004it literally is a minecraft mod that got too big for minecraft
>>562176004I'll keep saying it every time:It's Minecraft but good, unless you're not part of the very specific target audience it has, then it's Minecraft but boringBut yes, this has been a Minecraft mod, until the dev decided he doesn't like the direction Minecraft is taking and got sick of having to constantly fix his mod when it got broken by an update.>>562176152Uh, that's cool.Too be fair though, I'm playing with some made up self imposed rules that limit map use to a bare minimum, because I think navigating with landmarks and getting lost in the wilderness is fun.What I am excited about, however, is finding out that apparently there are books you can write in, even if they are locked behind lots of tech I don't have yet.I've been thinking of having some sort of "gaming journal" to note down what I did in a session and what my plans for the next one are, and doing that in-game sounds like a lot of fun
Speaking of maps. I'm still unsure if I prefer the color accurate map or the stylized one.The brown one is more in line with the game I think. But color accurate somehow is just so fun to look at. Really drives home how beautiful the nature in this game is.
>>562174218>not being too detailed to be realistically built in survival modeBeams and chiseling really are the secret sauce to VS aesthetics.Beams are annoying in survival, even in creative. 1.22 should make that a lot better with the addition of crowbar. But if you're willing to deal with beams, you can even use them to build smooth custom roofs at any angle. Or any other smooth shape beyond the voxel grid.Multiblock chiseling is something I like to do slowly over time, adding more and details. Not even chiseling shapes, but mixing blocks. It's really great when you have brick textures bordering something else like cobble/fanned/drystone.Another detailing thing I'm considering is chiseling random depth into cobblestone. You know, inset some of the stones by 1 voxel. Something that you can easily do over time as you pass the building, but I'm not sure if it would even look good.If you like the medieval house style, you can make decent survival builds quite easily. Just keep the basic idea in mind: stone ground floor + overhanging wood/plaster upper floor + overhanging slanted roof. Use beams to frame things and add detail to large solid surfaces.
>>562178209Yep, here is something I've built on an older save, and using chiseling to mix block and add some depth to the walls was great.I've been looking at that menu screen for a while now and it's definitely something I want to copy as soon as I can (I'm still in the pre-anvil copper age and don't intend to advance until 1.22 stable). Also the simple houses in Ostriv look kinda neat, I think of copying one of those, especially with the the huge oven they've got inside.But yeah, I've seen people do crazy shit like making whole buildings diagonal to the voxel grid or detailing on the finest chisel resolution and that's just way too much for me, to the point where I'd stop playing the game, because I would softlock myself out of any meaningful progress on account of needing a month for any building, I'd need.
>>562179250when's 1.22 supposed to come? seeing all these nice builds posted here makes me motivated to try again.Maybe start a server and drag some friends down with me.
>>562179481https://www.vintagestory.at/blog.html/news/We're currently in the release candidate stage. Looking at past major updates, it usually takes a bit over a month to go from rc to stable.Though in my limited experience, release candidates are usually fine to play, if you intend to start a new game anyways. The only reason I'm waiting, is because converting my 1.21 save over to 1.22 isn't advised until the stable release.
>>562179250Oof those roof edges undersides. You really gotta do something with them. At least put upside down brick stairs on the outer ones and full brick blocks on the inner ones.There's also a proper chimney block.
>>562150804I got recommended an indie game by a guy that even /indie/ didn't tell me anything about
>>562176004pretty much
>>562184253Fucking crop rotation, I just want to grow flax.
>>562167541>Those are the potions the alchemist throws at you.Never seen that graphic for the 200% flasks. Has to be a mod.
>>562176004It's similar, but there's a nuance.Getting the best tools in Minecraft:>punch trees>put sticks and wood in crafting grid>mine stone>put sticks and stone in crafting grid>mine iron>put sticks and iron in crafting grid>mine diamonds>put sticks and diamond in crafting grid

Some more delayed blogposting to bump the thread.From some limited prospecting I managed to do so far, my home island pretty much only has copper. There are some traces of Bismuth and Sphalerite, but it looks like the hotspot is somewhere out into the ocean and I don't want to fuck with that. So Took my raft to the continent up north and built this temporary shelter on the beach. As a base of operation for further prospecting.Nothing too promising thus far, but there's still plenty of flatlands to prospect up here. Plus having a mine up here and having to ship the ore home by raft does sound quite fun thematically>>562181080Yeah, those are always kinda rough. If I built this today I probably would have looked for a block with matching texture to chisel into a slope. Or maybe slap on some beams to hide the underside. I'm sure I'm not the first person looking for a solution for this particular problem so I assume there is some inspo out there on how to deal with this
>>562188401>fill the pit kilns with unfired clay products, layers of hay, sticks and fuel to fire your clayI've only recently learned that you can use peat instead of firewood for this. That's really nice, because up to this point I assumed peat is only useful for higher level stuff I've never gotten to and I basically ignored it
>>562188942Yeah you can basically use any fuel for any purpose as long as it burns hot enough. I do all my cooking with peat because all my firewood goes into charcoal pits.You can even smelt some soft metals with peat/firewood and so on.In lategame crafting, temperature becomes the critical factor that requires increasingly elaborate furnace setups.
This guy filtered me for almost an hour. https://files.catbox.moe/v02dg8.mp4
By the way, this is the real life cementation furnace design Vintage Story uses. At least I think it's the same.The block building isn't obviously as detailed, but the principle is the same: You neatly pack iron ingots in charcoal stuffed inside stone coffers that are sitting on firegrates and the whole furnace is fueled with coal from a pit below it.
>>562172493a...
What happened to the medieval Darktide/Helldivers version of picrelated?>>562157014I wish I could be moved so much by stories.I think I got numb over time.
Anybody tried Grime?
>>562196558better ask roguelike general
>>562196895Is grime a roguelike now?
>>562196895Now I'm mad.t. tricked anon
>>562196994happy 1st of aprilwhat the fuck is a grime>>562196994see picrelated
>>562188942Beehive kilns can also use peat (and firewood). They also don't need full stacks of fuel to a fully fire the clay. In the case of peat you only need 9 stacks of 24.I also though I was being clever by using peat to heat up a crucible to 900°C then switching to coal, but I did some testing and it only really saves one coal per batch.Maybe two if the batch is huge and nothing if the batch is small enough. The peat also heats up slower making the smelting take longer. It's not really worth it.
>>562197372If you know your batch is just a tiny bit short of your usual fuel, then it won't take much effort to start the fire with 1 peat and immediately shove the rest of the coal in after it's lit.Using 4 or 5 coal per batch is a 25%/20% difference, worth it if you're running low and can't be arsed to constantly deforest everything for charcoal
>>562197372What's a beehive kiln?
>>562200124Big brick building to more efficiently fire large batches of clay in different colors.There's a guide in the handbook on how to build it.
Fuck me.Now I want to play Wurm again. But I would have to start from zero skill again.
>>562197349Come to think is there an April fools event right now? Because I haven't noticed anything.Or is it still too early for whatever time zone 4chan runs on?
>>562203194 (Me)Apparently it's something with the captchas. I don't post nearly enough to see it.
>>562204279Every now and then the captcha asks you to name an anime or game character. Or some other stuff.It's fine, it's non intrusive. I don't think I've enjoyed any of the April fools events since princesses (2017?) and that was largely community driven.Also I remember one of the more boring ones had a /vg/ mod go rouge on /indie/ and add music and custom designs and shit. That was fun
Somehow my pet rat is more tanky than my two skeletons.
>>562200820Is it different from the bloomer I use for iron?
starsector modders gotta stop with the anime portraits
>>562202308I'm STILL pissed I got Wurm Unlimited.>>562206495And you have a chimera. Did you make it yourself?
>>562204279It's the captcha. Sometimes it's "name this anime slut" or "what's that 4chan meme", like what is /int/'s CUM, or fill in the caption for that "A CAT IS FINE TOO" meme.
White knuckle is pretty cool. Climbing fast is pretty cool, and the aesthetic is pretty cool.The game seems to constantly punish playing well. That is not pretty cool.Seriously though it's like the core gameplay is nice but everything else is what the fuck. Dealing with enemies in general feels weird as shit, the perks don't really seem balanced, although they kinda are interesting by default because of the mechanics, and I guess I'm not really a fan of the "whoopsie you missed one jump you are dead lmao" concept
>>562207776>still no kanji captchaThey should have done that 10 years ago
>>562207915Calm down Hitler.
>>562207327Very. Bloomery is a block. Well, two blocks.Beehive kiln is a big beehive shaped brick building, similar to the steel cementation furnace.It's got 3x3x3 interior space for firing a ton of ceramics at once.
>>562208464Wait wait wait... That's not a mod, right? That's a real kiln? What does it do better than just digging a hole and putting your stuff in it?
>>562207782i couldn't get into white knuckleit just made me want to replay peaks of yore
>>562208683>That's not a mod, right? Vanilla now, it was inspired by a mod.>What does it do better than just digging a hole and putting your stuff in it?It can fire clay in 4 different colors.Far less micromanaging for mass production.Also better fuel efficiency I think.
>>562207518>And you have a chimera. Did you make it yourself?Chimera is the name of the pet rat. You can name pets whatever you want.>>562207518>I'm STILL pissed I got Wurm Unlimited.I'm thinking hard about playing again. But the idea of having to restart from zero again is daunting.It would take me months to have the most commonly used skills to level 30 or so.
>>562208952>It can fire clay in 4 different colors.Colours? tell me more>>562208984Wurm Online is a lot better, but I'm extremely intimidated by it: I don't want to join a server and be instantly drown in stuff, and I fear starting to play a bit alone, managed to farm some wheat, and come back 30 minutes later and find my farm burned down with tags calling me names and people wiping their asses with my curtains.
>>562209204Just look it up in the handbook.Red clay products go for light tan to dark brown and blue clay goes from almost white to overcooked black.
Has anyone played star renegades?
...fuck.
>>562209204>Wurm Online is a lot better,Mate. I posted a pic of my time in Wurm Online from when I blogposted about it two years ago.I know how grindy it can be.I started playing Wurm Online on the Epic cluster, which is full loot PvP.That was back in 2011 or so. Spent three or four years playing. Over 3k hours. Did a shitton of raids and several sieges. It was intense.>and I fear starting to play a bit aloneYeah. In the Freedom clusters, is deed it or loose it. But I have stablished friends with a 55x55 deed and plenty of space. I'm just afraid of the amount of grind I would have to do again, to the point I'm useful or can do fun stuff. Even if I have a fully manned town with access to all the priest's skill boosts, food and water, mineral access and good quality tools, armor and weapons.
>>562209870I meant Wurm Online compared to the offline Wurm Unlimited, not to whatever it is you're playing with your unimpressive chimera.
>>562196895hol up there is a roguelike general?
>>562210040>I meant Wurm Online compared to the offline Wurm Unlimited, not to whatever it is you're playing with your unimpressive chimera.I'm talking all this time about Wurm Online. Dunno how is Unlimited.
>>562211365Unlimited is essentially Wurm Online, but 2-3 years late. You can play solo, but you can also play online.
>>562211015No.
>>562211498Oh. I thought you played Unlimited on single player only.People on WO are more forgiving with noobs than in WU. Last time I got a set of tools, food for several irl days and a donkey for free, when I cameback 2 years ago.
>>562208683You also need to build a similar furnace for steel making.
>>562212675This isn't steel, these are Jews. LET THEM OUT.>that captchawhat the fuck

>>562212791No, they are the carbon that I'm using to make steel.
>>562213310Can't you use coal like in Satisfactory?Can you make a sauna yet?
Fren just has told me that he has bought a year of subs for Wurm Online for two of his characters.The temptation is strong.
>>562213521>Can't you use coal like in Satisfactory?I could, but I can use the coal for other stuff while these are completely useless.>spoilerNo and I checked for mods, but sadly there isn't one.
>>562213521>saunaI have a game for you.

I'm craving a certain type of game.>works with a controller (Steam Deck)>no gacha mechanics>dungeon crawler preferably >roguelite/like or not>has actual gameplay (not interested in jerkoff material)>good value (multiple plays encouraged/rewarded)>single player or two person co-opGames I like: Isaac, Balatro, Slay the Spire 2, Mewgenics, Tunic, Darkest Dungeon.Any recommendations? What I'd really like is an olschool style game like Wizardry but those seem to be few and far between these days (or else require KBM).

I had a dream I was playing a weird Darkwood/Factorio hybrid. I had to finish setting up oil processing so I could get fuel to power the generator before nightfall, but the oil was in a cave so shadow monsters kept breaking the pumpjack. I couldn't stop them, so the generator died halfway through the night and all the lights went out, and right as something started breaking down the windows I woke up.

Noticed Stellar Tactics is out of EA. Anyone tried it?
>>562283153I last played it half a decade ago, but it was a reasonably enjoyable XCOM/Diablo/Rebel Galaxy fusion, though really light on non-procgen content at the time. It's clearly not big-budget, but it's earnest. The big, BIG problem was that it was unbearably slow. Every single animation was about twice as long as it needed to be, and the movement speed was atrocious for how big the maps were. Combined with the very long prologue sequence to get into the actual game, starting a new game was like trying to chew through a car tire.Maybe, hopefully, it's been streamlined in the past 6 years.

Helo saar it is me agein. Looking for game recommendations, I dont have much time for long sessions/online gameplay and Im too old and mentally burnt out to play RPGs/open-world/codex based stuff.Looking for something simple you can grab and drop like Mewgenics, Hollow Knight, Backpack battles, etc. Obviously played every well known roguelite already.Thanksies.
>>562286240Not quite what you're asking for, but two games that I liked to play when I didn't have time for long sessions were Blue Prince and RainworldBecause both have a very natural end point where you can decide to quit the game for the day. But they still got an overall sense of progression and an ending to strive towards

Vintage Story progression can be a funny thing.I'm deep in steel mass production but I can't even start the first bronze age treasure hunter quest because he wants a tin bronze pickaxe. I have never seen tin in this world. I made it through bronze age with bismuth and zinc.
>>562283153I really enjoyed the early game but lost interest during the aznari ruins part of chapter 2 where its asset flippy nature and bad enemy/encounter design hit a point too low for me.>>562284657>The big, BIG problem was that it was unbearably slow.I didn't find it slow in the way you describe, but it IS a very lengthy and grindy game.Ground combat is fun if you bump all difficulty options to max. Especially put friendly fire on because that makes positioning more tactical.For some reason it's described like this>Stellar Tactics is a nostalgic return to the excitement and wonder of classic RPGs with a compelling narrative, strategic squad-based ground combat, and rewarding open-world space exploration. Excitement and wonder? Yeah, no. A good RPG I can't put down and have to play every day until the end. Stellar Tactics is easy to play for a while, move to another game, then continue next year.The sheer number of everyday item management tasks (salvaging, repairing, crafting, etc) tied to increase-by-use skill system also felt grindy enough that I made a bunch of ahk scripts to cope with all the repetitive clicking.
>>562286814nta, and not a deckholder, but I imagine all the clicking to attack would be even worse than it already is on pc

does anyone know what game this is? tell me it's a game and not some fag on X project that will never see the light of day, i need more receiver like
I have accidentally developed very efficient wolf traps in my backyard woods. They used to be sand pits.Dumb wolf pups fall into the pits and can never get out. So they spend their entire lives growing up in these little ditches. When the cute puppy sounds stop, I know they've grown up and I come to slaughter them for resources.

>>562177097>>562308172Whas wrong with Craftable Cartography?
>>562308337I dunno. Just looked at it. Seems like it's garbage. Unmaintained, jank that requires console commands to use, has multiple forks because people liked the idea but not the mod, and the ugly compass overlay just doesn't fit the game.
>>561919018You can unlock epochs that arent in the game yet lol so id say about 25% unfinished feeling. But its probably more like half. Still super fun though.

This crab was smaller than a person when I bought him.
>>562313218He looks cute.Why do spider make me scared but crabs are ok?
>>562308172Uhh, neat.Not sure how I feel about introducing it this in the middle of a game, but I'll keep it in mind for the future
>>562313294For reasons similar to why most other insectoid creatures do not, stereotypical crabs have completely different proportions and movements that generally makes them appear completely unrelated to spiders to the human subconscious.
>>562312353give me a tldrwhat's new?what's nerfed?
>Make a choice!>no, no that one, try again>uh, no that's also wrongKOJIMA YOU ENDLESS HACKFirst automata and then Deaf Stranding 1.Why does anyone praise this eternal teenager?
>562315529Automata isn't Kojima's you fucking retard.Don't play Kotor 2, you'd hate it, since you're so fragile and needs constant validation that you're right.
Darwin's Paradox was definitely far from perfect. If you hate the trial-and-error challenge of cinematic platformers you won't like this, even as a fan of the genre it pissed me off at times. But it's got soul, and there's at least variety
Think I'm gonna specialise in Cooking and Gardening/Angling for cooking ingredients. With a side of Animal Breeding. Will have to look into a guild or make some contacts to get direct and cheap access to some intermediaries that are a must. As the crafting system is extremely intertwined between almost all skills.For combat I'm gonna try Necromancy and Animal Handling(animal pets). Will be very very dependant on my summons staying alive so I will see if I later I may switch to Staffs.
>>562314625Most of the update is about finishing the Sindrian quest You can change Smods on ships (big cost) You can summon extra fleets from military bases (big cost) They added a way to lose the game Bunch of buffs and nerfs, midline looks like the big winner
>>562314625specifically the big nerfs are to onslaught XIV (5 more DP) and anubis(nerfed its special), i think Voidblaster got cut in half but the AI won't shoot it into shields anymore Dominator, Champion, and Conquest all got nice buffs and the carrier skill makes fighters tanky instead of the carrier faster
>>561919018Even though there's whole alt acts 2 and 3 missing, balance is where feels most underbaked.Also act 3 feels kinda phoned in.
>>562322486>midline looks like the big winnerAbout fucking time, they were always my favorite ships, and I always tried to fit a conquest or two in my fleet
>>562327561yeah they made conquest 55 speed from 45 and hurricanes 5 OP cheaper on top of nerfs to onslaught and paragon i think its sitting pretty i have only ever played midline so its not like much changed for me, maybe i'll start using champion again
>>562240485More than that for sure. I was just hoping it would be finished this year.
>>562331573lol, lmao
>>562315529>Automata>Kojima
>>562312353I JUST started a new game.
>>562331573Oh, so that where this gif is from. I've seen it before, but I thought it was just from some random anime.
>>562333220All la creatividads look the same.
You know, maybe not this one in particular, but I've been thinking about how fun it might be to restore one of the ruins from the better ruins mod to move into.Always wanted to do something similar in enshrouded, but that game never clicked for me
This game has the most exquisite of waifus
>>562336484you still have a few weeks before the patch hits my guess is end of april
I at the same time can't believe they really went and redeemed Sylvanas and am not surprised in any way whatsoever they did.Also fuck White Knuckle it's addicting and at the same time absolutely bullshit
Prospecting sure is tedious, especially up here, away from my main base and with the days still being really short.But I think I've zeroed in on some hotspots that I'll try to tap into to hopefully have some bronze ingots in time for the forge reword in 1.22 to hit.Never mind I still need to build a forge building and don't really have a good space for it in or around my main base.
>>562341102It's not all that tedious if you get it down to a routine. I still think you're prospecting with a pretty bad method. Do understand what the density search results actually mean? What do you do with them?
>>562342789It looks a bit more chaotic than it is. I go with a grid of sampling every other chunk and go down to every chunk once I think I'm close to a local maximum of whatever it is I'm searching. Plus some random samples from places with lots of exposed rock since those are basically free.Maybe I could lower the resolution even more and I probably will if I ever decide to survey a large area, though so far most readings I took had at least one ore I'm interested in and I could just follow that to the source>Do understand what the density search results actually mean?yeah, I do>It's not all that tedious if you get it down to a routineFor sure, but short days difficult terrain and/or constant fear of wolves make it hard to get into the flow.
I got Angling, now I need Foraging, and a shitton of animal skins and meat.>>562341102>Prospecting sure is tedious,Worst part of VS(and Terrafirmacraft).I just do an autistic grid while having Youtube or Netflix on my other screen.
it's uphttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2510960/Temtem_Swarm/
>>562347953The original temtem kinda really fucking sucked. It required knowing the mechanics to an absurd degree and had several tiers of shiny which had a huge advantage competitively.For a game that wanted to solve the problems of competitive pokemon, it made building a team literally impossible due to requiring on average over 100 hours per creature. In comparison I could build a competitively viable pokemon team in about 20 hours. You know why? Because in pokemon about half of the IV don't matter for a specific pokemon. So you only need a few perfect or near perfect. In temtem, you want all your IV to be perfect because they have a significantly higher effect per point than in pokemon. A perfect speed mastione will be faster than 95% of average speed temtem. A perfect attack ukama deals enough damage to one turn ko most average IV temtem. And guess what? the super shiny (umbra) have every stats perfected and they're a 1/20000 rate. Roughly 3 times rarer than shinies. But don't worry you can get super shiny radars which break after 300 uses but increase your rate drastically to 1/2000 with an increase to 1/400 and 1/200 at 100 uses and 200 uses respectively. How do you buy it? By grinding regular shinies. How do you grind regular shinies? They're a 1/2000 in the wild but you can use regular radars to boost your rate, how do you get regular radar? By paying hundreds of post game currency that you can ONLY get by doing dailies and weeklies and most of them are rewards for WINNING competitive matches, matches that you can't win because everyone has umbras which have perfect stats so they have a massive advantage over you constantly. My umbra zenoreth took 190 hours over 4 months of daily grind to get AND IT'S ONE OF THE EASIEST UMBRA TO GET!!The game was pay 2 win as shit.Temtem swarm just looks like their version of pokemon rumble.
Now I want to play pokemon again...
>>562345254Of course prospecting is gonna be tedious if you're doing it 13 times (I counted) in one spot where one reading would have sufficed.Whatever is in the circled areas doesn't need a dozen readings.It's better to not think of prospecting as ore hunting, but merely initial preparation for it.Don't even bother looking at the readings you get while prospecting. Just do it quickly and move on. Do it on the side when you're out exploring and doing other stuff. Won't feel so tedious that way. Study the bigger picture later at home. Decide and mark areas for exploratory mining or directions to expand your prospecting into.You want to cover as much ground as possible with density search. Not to try uselessly pinpoint the exact centers of ore-rich areas.>It looks a bit more chaotic than it isI'm just saying you sample way too often.You don't *have* to be methodical about your sampling frequency if you don't want, it's just much easier that way. Either way the useful resolution of density search hardly dips below 200 meters. Once you've determined roughly a hectare-sized area where to go caving and dig vertical mineshafts, you're set.>lots of exposed rock since those are basically free>short days difficult terrain and/or constant fear of wolvesWut. There is no safer place than a prospecting foxhole. Take a bed with you and you can even sleep in them. Just shovel straight down to rock, dig two 4-tile horizontal dirt tunnels, poke 3 rocks with propick, done. Climb up with your rope ladder and pull it up after you. Or pillar up with your recently acquired dirt, but I assume that's too too unimmersive and minecrafty for your style.This is not exactly "free" but it won't cost you anything more than about 20 shovel durability.
>>562351914i think temtem the idea to give fans a pokemon mmo just came out too late when the a lot of people had lost interest in the idea, and mmo's in general had really declined. it didn't help that the monster designs and characters design were shit.
>>562359147is there a single good pokemon copycat with good toon design?
Ok ok let me fire up my test backup of my current world and so some debug stuff to explain why it's pointless to go autistic with density searching.This pic shows all bismuth ore under me in 256 radius, taken from high up in the air looking straight down.The minimap shows my 100x100m prospecting results for bismuthinite, with a circle to show the rendered area.I'm roughly in the center of the ore-rich area, definitely well in the yellow zone, not that it matters as you can see. There's literally over 2k ore deposits.Can you tell the difference in ore deposit density between the yellow and red areas? You can't, because they're the same. The main difference is deposits deep in red would have poor ore while the yellows go up to medium.Does it matter if you pinpoint the exact center of an ore-rich area like this? Of what use would that information be? Hitting ores that spawn in smaller veins is down to luck either way, you either need to do caving (exposes lot of rock surface with little digging effort) or dig multiple vertical shafts (free sunlight to keep the monsters away) until you get lucky. You can also do node prospecting while tunneling down, but ultimately, digging multiple vertical shafts probably costs less pickaxe durability and rope ladders make it cheap and easy.Prospecting mainly just lets you know which ores you can expect in a given region. From there it's much more important to know what kind of deposits different ores form so you know what it takes to actually find them.
>>562359428This is why I hate mining.
Still enjoying Siralim Ultimate. I got 3 teams (one is a WIP): Cleric Griffins who spam buffs which I'm using for boss fights. Windrunner bugs for shredding boss-less floors. And my WIP team is a Monk Clutcher that's gonna be absolutely devious once I get it set up.
>>562361440Why?Mining is not really that different from Minecraft, except easier in a sense. Some ores form much bigger deposits that are really easy to hit with vertical shafts.I think people just get stuck in the prospecting autism and then get disappointed when it did nothing to help them get any closer to ores.
>>562223139This anon strikes me as being a gamer.
>>562361853Well I hate it in Minecraft too. It's always down to luck, and "but it's in Minecraft" doesn't make it good.
>>562359392No. All the good pokemon-likes are games that don't try to be pokemon. Pokemon is a lucky accident with a lot of marketing. They are not particularly good games. The balance is completely broken, the grind is rather violent, a lot of the gameplay is just go from point a to point b with either a stupidly high encounter rate or over 20 trainers to fight and all of them use the same 5 pokemons. The game loves to throw at you completely useless moves that you should never ever use and until gen 6, a lot of pokemons had only 1 or 2 learned move in their pool forcing you to use tm which were single use until gen 5 (black/white). Having 2 versions with virtually no difference is also a huge marketing scam. Only a few of the games actually has a meaningful difference at some point and it's generally only one or two area at most.If it wasn't pokemon, it wouldn't get a pass for being a relatively mediocre rpg with a ton of filler creatures and a few interesting ones. If I ask you what is pokemon 840? 591? Exactly. 840 is the apple dragon from ss and 591 is AMOGUS!?
The mining gameplay loop is probably one of the only enjoyable things about Vintage Story.
>>562362193Some aspects of it are down to luck, like in any gameplay mechanic ever. Skill is mitigating the effects of randomness. IMO VS does a good job at it, between the different ore deposit sizes/shapes, node prospecting and very limited player resources compared to Minecraft.
>>562361630Cool that you got into it. What realm depth you at?
>>562363130>Some aspectsAll aspects*It's not like there's any indication you're near a vein, you can be literally one cube away from a vein and miss it because fuck you.
>>562363467111. I think once I get my Monk set up I'm gonna blitz through the floors.
>>562322486Grendel mobs won
>>562364128Except, you know, node prospecting.
lol
this game is so hard wtfi dont even know where to start on this one
>>562368438wait nvm i found it immediately after posting
>>562368438Picross?
Just got to act II of expedition 33 and beat the duelist boss. I gotta say... the combat fucking sucks. It's nice that they attempted to give every character a strong mechanical identity with their skills and stuff, except none of that matters because the REAL combat is quick time events. Gonna just blitz to the end of the story because I just don't want to deal with the combat any more than absolutely necessary
>>562371182Filtered.
>>562371219You don't know what filtered means, retard. Someone who intends to beat the game is, by definition, not filtered.
>>562371434Filtered & seething.
>>562362212Yeah even Digimon struggles to this day, and Monster Rancher disappeared altogether. Yugioh survived because it's card game.it's not that people can't make good fakemon designs, the problem is that they are too stylistically close to pokemon to be usuable without legal issues. so they end up trying to create creatures in a new style which nobody really wants.
>>562369873tametsi
>>562371676There are still monster collecting games... But most are Japan only. Digimon is pretty much the only other big name that had an impact in the west and it's basically dead now.A few others like yokai watch do exist but I've never seen any mention of it outside of the internet. It exist, it sold millions of copies worldwide and it has absolutely 0 cultural impact outside of Japan. Dragon quest monsters/joker has a release every 5 years or so. Smt is extremely niche outside of persona which is fairly popular. The rest is the flood of indies. Monster hunter is also considered fairly niche outside of Japan even with the rise (pun intended) in popularity that came from tri, world and ironically wilds. So the monster taming spin off (stories) is not exactly popular, the only reason I know about it is because capcom keeps spamming me about it.I guess palworld is the only true game in that style in recent years that has an actual impact other than pokemon.I don't really count card games in the same category even if yugioh is fairly similar because then we need to talk about magic and all the other ccg like hearthstone, shadowverse, etc. Or worse, baseball cards...It's just a very hard genre to sell. It's also very hard to localize so a lot of publishers just don't bother.And obviously the endless stream of varying quality indie games is worth mentioning I guess.
