>>562768851>>562774379Oh for sure, I'm fully aware that it's my own fault for settling so high up. I mean just looking at >>562727264 you'll see how the snowmelt has already started down in the valley, while up here it's still freezing.But I'm pretty sure I'll spend this year building a boat and gathering supplies to sailing south.Because I would love to build a cool medieval style house but I don't think it would fit in with my stone/bronze age hut.
>>562703098I forgot to say before that I'd already seen a satyr in the first area that does the single attack per turn thing. Not sure if there's separately a single action per turn one, but it's a challenge to figure a way around at some point I guess. I just had the "scale much faster than you" slap me in the face for the first time. Didn't realize that on depth 38 (first time through Eternity's End) the dudes were already 60 and I'm like 44. Just means I can go level somewhere and see if I can find any other neat variants of things.>>562706159I remember fondly finding out about F.E.A.R. Rattata for the first time. I'm already leaning into the abject faggotry that is the Cleric stuff I've chosen. Pic kinda related. It's the slappening. They look like I normally do, minus the shells and minions.
>>562821618Ask and ye shall receive. I haven't done anything yet, but I'll see how fucky this is. Three of this one and three of the one-attack dudes.

>>562706159If you build your team well, you can avoid so called run killers. To me Siralim Ultimate is more like single player modern Yugioh where the archetypes can slot in certain engines/ cards that help them deal with unideal situations. Like say I'm a combo deck in Yugioh and I run into a backrow guy, that's where my Harpie Feather Duster comes in. The Siralim equivalent is something like: say I'm x type of deck that will literally brick if I'm inflicted with y type of debuff, that's where my monster who has a Generous Spreading Plague gemstone equipped comes in clutch.

Oh shit, Road to Vostok release totally snuck up on me out of nowhere. Been following this since it's been a basic tech demo on a gun range as part of next fest.Shame that according to the few negative reviews it has it's still very undercooked. Tempted to try it anyways, because it's so cheap, has anyone already played it?
>>562850763>daemon x machina already in a humble bundlemecha bros... what went so wrong... other than switching from mecha to power armor. which is a big enough offense i guess
>>562850928I tried the demo and the graphics were all fucked to oblivion whenever i was trying to get out of the cabin, so i have no idea what the game looks like
>>562850928Whuh? Did it release or something? No way it's anywhere near finished yet
Just beat Clair Obscur. Quite a good game that deserves most of the praise it receives, aside from the completely unnecessary and harmful parry system, which tanked the combat. Still, I grit through it and got a satisfying conclusion. I'll be looking forward to Sandfall's next project, so long as it isn't infested by QuickTime events
Just started Clair Obscur. What a horrible game that depresses me and makes me feel bad about being 35. Why is the slowdown not on by default? Timing dodges is very hard, I literally need to retry every boss at least twice to learn their timings. I'll be looking forward to the porn with Maelle getting buttfucked, so long as it is infested with no lube, dry mode.

I'm REALLY liking this gameIt's a word game like boggle except it's a Roguelike that's entirely centered around wildcardsEach wildcard has its own rules like there's numbers that can only be placed into that letter position (so for example you can write 1RI45)Or there are chess pieces that can only connect by following chess rulesAnd in a balatro like manner you buy upgrade and multipliers that only works under specific condition like using only numbers or the more kind of wildcards you use the betterThe game actively encourage you to write bullshit all made up of wildcards and for an ESL like me it who's not very good at these sort of games it feels very cathartic to see the game go "the fuck did you wrote? DISCOMBOBULATED?"
>>562850107>>562850375The story mode is only for lore you likely won't care for and literally nothing else. Just play the mode where you jump right into the dungeon as it has everything unlocked that you were supposed to grind for.
well i dunno what i expected
>>562883335What do levels in dying do for you exactly?
>>562862910Dark souls 3 the ringed city is a kino ending for the trilogy imo, but id recommend playing ashes of ariendel first for the chronological order as some part of the lore is referenced to or part of main plot points.Slave Knight Gael is the MVP
My Wisp is a a nuclear missile interceptor
>>562889180They give vague bonuses to other skills, like lore, anatomy, or necromancy.
>>562891549max hp too I think.
I dunno what dragonkins are to dragons but they're probably losers and chumps.
Brush Burial is so good I stopped developing my game because there's no way I can compete with it
>>562893261Runescape's dragons are a bit unusual lorewise.Dragonkin are the original draconic race. They're incredibly powerful, strong enough to go toe to toe with lesser gods, and they live practically forever. However, they're not immortal and they can't reproduce, so they ran lots of genetic experiments in an attempt to fix that. Dragons are the failed product of those experiments - they're able to reproduce, but they're mindless beasts and orders of magnitude weaker physically than Dragonkin.I don't know when Dragonwilds takes place, but iirc there are only 3 or 4 surviving Dragonkin by the time of Runescape.
>>562891503
>>562901675In my limited understanding, Dragonwilds take place before Runescape proper: the war between gods is over, and the dragons are the main threat, but the maharadjahs aren't an issue.It's complicated, I play this coop with a friend and he was terrorized when we found dragonkin stuff.
Jump in difficulty from A8 to A9 is fucked up.Not looking forward to having to relearn the game after dozens of hours on every character.
>>562817873Niko...
>>562891503I didn't realize that was on your side. What do you do for spells?
>>562920019It's Monk's Fortified Spirit perk that buffs your defense after doing your counter attacks from dodging (Celerity Strikes). The Wisp has godly dodge and pulls the aggro of all attacks during a fight, so the longer it goes on, the more it snowballs out of control.
Siralim seems like the kinda game of autistically building the biggest pile of unfair bullshit in an attempt to out-bullshit the other guy's big pile of unfair bullshit.
>>562922664That's because it is
>>562931585Now put the nuclear capsule into the microwave.

*ahem*FUCK CATTAILSDoing Vintage Story tutorial and my first thought is that the game needs more alternative early technology paths. Why can't I make this? Better than cattail weave basket.

>>562939743NTA but I also have failed to find any cattail.

Whoa, this is gamechanging. You can mark what's in crates!Somehow you can draw full-color images of any item with a piece of charcoal on parchment.
>>562949828>you can draw full-color images of any item with a piece of charcoalWriting on signs is less magical, the text color depends on the pigment. So with charcoal you get black, clalk is white, etc.
>>562949828Finally.
>>56284232340 minutes in, it's nowhere near the quality of Sleeping Dogs (not truly open world first off). AA is a stretch given how barren the game looks and feels, but the mission structure is interesting

>>562941232I've never had this problem over a dozen saves.Then again I've been playing the same save since 1.19, so maybe Tyron fucked up the world gen since then.
I haven't played a single game with that fake-ps1-like aesthetic yet I already have fake-ps1-like aesthetic fatigue
>>562956751yeah that shit's no good
>>562939743>>562941232>>562958723I never said anything about not finding cattail.I wanted to have another realistic tech path that I could do even IRL instead of a system of gated progression with zero horizontal breadth. If the game start is gonna be about weaving baskets why are you stuck using a specific shitty material for it when you have tools to cut down birch trees and split the logs? I bet the rest of it is going to be as linear and nonsensical.Also if the game simulated getting wet, cold and ruining your clothes more realistically, then going waist-deep into every pond to gather reeds definitely wouldn't be the smartest early play.0/10 inadequate as mongolian basket weaving simulator

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nrmJSgqYTII hope this is good, it's come a long way since the first time I saw it years ago
>>562949828Wait, is this vanilla, or a mod?
>>562973392Vanilla. It's just crate+parchment, then use any pigment on it like editing text on a sign.
>>562974313Nice. I'll keep it in mind once I get to that point. I've just reached the bronze age and am waiting for temperatures to rise enough to restart farming. Should happen any day now
>>562876319Funny enough I don't like how the game turns into a "random shit go!" kinda thing, you do something likeP2?4G*7 then try to get any letter you can with having no fucking clue that it's going to be PARAGON, I don't know.desu this was a game I was going to show my mother because she likes scrabble and shit and that was a letdown, she plays wordatro and this is just way better doneAlso fuck poker cards
Like two hours grinding goblenese.
>>562975998You can do that at the start of copper age since the biggest tech requirement is a saw for planks. There's two ways to make parchment. You can use fiber pulp from flax and a sieve. Or if you already have lime/borax for leathermaking, shearing scraped hides also works and saves your flax.
Completely explored The Resonance Archives for the first time. I had gotten there once before, but I was woefully underprepared back then. Now I had everything I needed and knew what to take with me on the journey.Gotta say it was amazing. These major story locations are just insane. Overwhelming in scope, detail and the lore. Vintage Story really is at its best when you can just chill, build, progress and enjoy the nature at your own pace, but these adventures are a nice contrast to that.Also my autism compelled me to bring ALL the lorebooks back home. Yes I know they're copied to your journal. It took only a few trips. There's still some loot left to bring back to my home collections...
My team's fucking awesome and yet it still somehow is far from optimal.
>>562981763Yeah, I'm really strapped for flax right now. I've only gotten a small harvest in last year and most of it was stunted by the cold and my main priority was to just fix up all my clothes with it and make some torches.Also my main priority for parchment is making a book, because I really like the idea of having a notebook where I note down what I did in each session and what I plan to do in the next. I've heard someone suggest to do this for these kind of sandbox games to play them more intentionally and get more enjoyment out as a result, really want to try it.Though I think books also need leather, if memory serves right.>>562982373Skimming over this, I have to say I've never much cared for the story locations, because it's all work in progress and so on. But you have piqued my curiosity just a bit.Are they difficult? I assume there's lots of enemies, what kind of armor/weapons did you bring?
I think I'm gonna spend the next few seasons hanging out at home. Too tired from all the running back and forth. Chiseling details here and there is fun, even a basic 2x1 tunnel can look much nicer when you make it look a larger tunnel in progress. Too bad you can't leave pickaxes on the path floor.>>562983738The first story location is 100% finished and so are ones after it.There aren't actually that many enemies. Normal random spawns don't happen in story locations. The enemy encounters are more scripted and meaningful in nature.The reason my last attempt didn't work out wasn't due to bad combat gear but lack of supplies. This time I brought a bed, kitchenware, enough food for a month, more meds and four double chests for loot.As far as weapons and armor go I was waaaay overgeared. Meteoric iron falx and 2 sets of armor, the usual everyday leather and steel chain which I ended up wearing only twice.
Anyone else have an issue with Starsector where it randomly eats 100% of your GPU and slows the game down to <5 FPS until a restart? Sometimes it happens in the main menu the moment the game boots, but mostly happens with battles once the deployment window closes, but never the same battle twice.
>>562986547Does it actually eat 100% of your GPU? Fans spinning up like mad and so on? Or does it just leave the GPU in some kind of desktop powersaving mode where it doesn't have the oomph to do much of anything?
>>562986547Do you have mods?I ran the java experimental mod and the graphics lib one.
The game told me I'm allowed to make 11x11x11 charcoal pits so that's exactly what I'm going to do.In hindsight that might have been slightly optimistic, but I needed a quarry and a place to start dumping excess firewood. On the plus side, the echo in this chamber was amazing before I started filling it with firewood. Should also give me a lifetime supply of coal in a few years when it's filled and fired.
>>562988813Yep, from 20-40% normal usage (it's an oldass 1060) up to 100%, and from ~35*C up to ~60*C if I let it run too long.>>562988849I do have mods, but this has happened for years (since 0.91) with several different modlists.
>I think I'm gonna spend the next few seasons hanging out at homeSounds cozy, especially if you have shit to do. I always struggle with Year 0 winter, because by then I've usually just about set up the basics and after a few days of clay forming there's little I can actually do during the long nights.As for the story location, I'll definitely check those out sometime.>>562989440Even with my 3x3x2 pit I underestimate how much wood it takes to fill up every single time. Don't even want to imagine the swaths of deforested land you'll leave in your wake.
>>562990432My old charcoal pit is 3x4x3 because that much firewood neatly fits into two 16 and 20 slot crates.I don't actually deforest anything. There would be no point trying to collect this massive amount of wood from distant forests because inventory space severely limits your logistics.I have a section of forest dedicated to renewable wood production right above both the charcoal pits. There's space for about 100 trees and I replant new ones immediately after cutting them.
what was that puzzle game whose demo people in here were playing a couple months ago or something? it was some logic game

>>562993909that's it, thanks
>>562963441Iirc the mod primitive survival add other means to make storage, both personal and proper, using "canes" sticks which drop from certain species.Well, I do think its from primitive survival, may be wrong.
>>562997161I can think of a fun way to use canes.It involves elf butt.
My favorite part about the metroidvania style castlevania is learning about a glitch and then exploiting it in every way possible to skip as much as possible just because I can. More often than not, I need to reset my emulator but sometimes I manage to do stuff like instantly getting all souls in dawn of sorrow and skipping half the bosses (I do them later) or currently seeing how far I can get without entering portraits. I somehow managed to zip to the end of tower of death.Reverse boss order is a classic of metroidvania style games.
>>563001541Breaking game sequence using glitches in a metroidvania is always bice, but it comes with the risk of soft/hard lock depending on the level design.
Monk on monk violence.
The Void Creatures mod is a neat idea, but damn does it need a balance pass.

>>563008719>damage to CRHitler made this mod
>>563010989Now imagine 5 cruiser-tier armored bugs loaded with those fuckers eating your Oldslaught from about three inches away.
>>563010776I don't understand this game. If punching gives you HP, what stops you from just punching the enemy to death?
How do I stop my campaign fleet from becoming a Legion/Onslaught blob again?
>>5630149731. punching does very little damage2. punching doesn't actually give you HP, being near an enemy when they bleed out does3. getting hit lowers your max HP for a few seconds, so standing right next to an enemy and trying to punch them to death won't work against tougher enemies4. punching is also a parry
>>563015321...fascinating. It's a shooter where you're encouraged by the gameplay to not actually to too far from enemies, and it's done in a way that doesn't involve fucking with your accuracy. I love this.
>>563014975Install a shitload of mods and make yourself only use unique ships (plus civilian utilities).Granted, 90% of it would probably just be various UAF supercarriers.
