Oh fuck, I lost my skill potential bonus by turning into a necrotyrant before spending all the potential.Welp time to figure out Soulash 2 save editing.
>>568656706
Ah, Earth Dancer! Your dance has brought me joy and happiness. In gratitude, allow me to bestow upon you this recipe.
>>568657753>necrotyrantBy the way, before going for necrotyrant I tested the new vampire option for immortality and they're kinda lame.First of all it fucks up your portrait. Not like necrotyrant which changes the whole thing into necrotyrant face with its cheerful skeletal pepsodent smile, no, it just uglifies your existing face.Second, vampires still have to drink. And drinking blood is far more tedious than water which is mostly automated. That said. going beyond the starving point while traveling didn't seem to have any adverse effect. Maybe you can just ignore the whole thing.Third, vampires aren't actually immortal, just unaging. You die if you are killed.
Just got the Scanner Room and so far it's the best thing ever.Would it be a dumb idea to build a mini-base with a fabricator, med station, radio, planter of edible food, and a scanner station at every lifepod just to serve as safe base camps to explore from?I'm 10+ hours in, have most of the parts needed for a seamoth, prawn, and cyclops, but somehow overlooked the laser cutter because I always just swam over the biome its parts were in because there didn't seem to be much going on there. Built a scanner room, set it to find scannable objects, and now my map is lit up with the things and I'm sending scouting cameras to explore cave systems and shit.
>>568661378>minibase at every lifepodpretty excessive but if you wannajust gonna be annoying to get all the materialssee if you can't get a seamoth made up, it'll help a lot
>>568656706>>What the heck is thisIt's Fesh Pince, dad
huh?
little witch nobitches
>>568665532>>568665532>see if you can't get a seamoth made up, it'll help a lotThe Scanner Room pointed me right at all of the parts I needed to scan for it, so now I've got it, and I also noticed a possible scanner upgrade to add its output to the HUD, so I think I get what you mean. I'm breathing a sigh of relief, too, because Stalkers keep dragging my cameras off. Sometimes they even approach my base and rip them out of their docking pods.
I picked up this game (Dungeon Clawler), Die in the Dungeon, Clover Pit, and Raccoin all around the same time back when there was a mega sale on all those games. Gotta say these goofy little games are a damn good time killer.
>>568661378Scanner room is the goat, especially at max range upgrade.It can be a bit of a pain to look at the map sometimes. I wish there would have been some system where a network of scanner rooms could add a map to your hud in the lategame or something.Also exploring some areas I was too scared off with drones first was absolute kino>at every lifepod just to serve as safe base camps to explore from?at evyer lifepod sounds a bit overkill to me, but nobody can stop you. I think I ended up having about 4 outposts in different areas though.>but somehow overlooked the laser cutter because I always just swam over the biome its parts were in because there didn't seem to be much going on therethat's what happened to me with the multipurpose room, I found it, but didn't realize you could scan it and went for a longass time living in a tube-base.>>568670486>I also noticed a possible scanner upgrade to add its output to the HUD, so I think I get what you mean.I personally don't like that one because it can get very cluttered fast. What I do is just park a drone next to the item I want to get and then mark the drone on my hud>Sometimes they even approach my base and rip them out of their docking podsThat's so annoying man. It's funny that they can do that but I think they shouldn't be able to rip them out of your base
Subnautica below zero really feels like a bland downgrade from the first game.Should have just been an expansion, an extra area accessed from a portal or something.
>>568670886>that's what happened to me with the multipurpose room, I found it, but didn't realize you could scan it and went for a longass time living in a tube-baseYeah, I got incredibly lucky finding that early. I feel like it's intended for you to find that location second after being sent to another area, but I just wanted to see how far I could go and the clouds looked funny over there.I did just find out I also missed the Propulsion Cannon. Its parts are all over the place on the way to the Aurora but somehow I missed them on my first trip there. I think the game just didn't spawn them in, because I check every cargo box I find and can't see myself missing so damn many of them.Maybe they don't spawn until you find the log with the people talking about the gun? Either way, I've been catching fish by hand for 12+ hours and now I can just yank them straight to me or banish them to the shadow realm and that's a huge QoL improvement.I still can't figure out what to do with the laser cutter or the Aurora, though. I thought the cutter would let me harvest the big nodes on the seafloor, but they don't. Then I thought it'd let me cut my way into the cargo bay, but still nope. So now I guess I'll see if the Propulsion Cannon can dislodge anything on the ship.>I personally don't like that one because it can get very cluttered fast.That's a good point. It kinda sucks when you're trying to find the closest one of something but 3 other things 500m behind it are hiding it.>It's funny that they can do that but I think they shouldn't be able to rip them out of your baseI thought it was cute the first time I entered my base and saw the HUD marker for a camera just floating off into the abyss. Then it started happening like 80% of the time I returned to base.
fuuck, I effectively wasted my first free day in Voices of the Void and am at risk of getting fined on the second.They changed the drone so you can just put things in the drone's inventory instead of needing your own box. But the game doesn't tell you that drives still need to be shipped in a box to count as signal. Otherwise you're just selling the drive for 1 credit each.
How's Mina?
>>568674838>But the game doesn't tell you that drives still need to be shipped in a box to count as signal.Anon...Did you at least save the signals to your computer? Then it would be pretty trivial to send them again.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gxgi3aSR_Q
>>568676843Fair enough, though I didn't interpret that as "you have to use the box for it to count" to be honest, and it tells you about drive boxes way before you find out that the drone has its own inventory now.But it's fine, it's not a big setback. As for saving signals, I usually only save the "interesting" ones. I know I could save them to send them in again at higher processing levels later, but that seems like to much of a hassle at the moemnt. Maybe I still should.
>>568673173Jesus. I went in with a mostly empty inventory, accessed a door I hadn't even noticed on earlier trips with the propulsion cannon, found the last scans I needed for the cyclopes and prawn suit, got a lore dump, got tons of nutrient bars, some posters and toys, and sealed the radiation leak, all in one go. Oh, and the Neptune blueprints. I feel like I catapulted straight over the mid-game and into the early late game.
>>568673173>and the clouds looked funny over therehehe nice. I found the one in the cave quite early, I've actually built my main base close to that cave, because I assumed that cave would lead to more late game areas. But I just didn't realize that room was scannable for way too long>I still can't figure out what to do with the laser cutterit's to cut open certain doors in wrecks, but I guess it's easy to miss if you're unlucky, because only the doors with the charred texture are cuttable>I think the game just didn't spawn them inI remember I had that with a certain plant on my first playthrough. You need it for several things, but most importantly to become self sufficient with drinking water. And I couldn't find a single one until finally one showed up at the very edge of my scanner room range.I thought they were just that rare, but on a second run I found many of them way earlier, so either I just didn't know what it looked like and ignored it or the item spawns are indeed kinda fucky
>>568678507Oh yeah, the aurora has tons of shit.The cyclops is great, definitely among my favorite vehicles in any game I've played. I believe with a few upgrades you can make it basically self sufficient, I think I'd like to try an almost cyclops only run some day.Also I think all the nutrient bars are there to not fuck people over who went in with insufficient food, so you have enough time to explore everything without starving to death.
>>568677503>but that seems like to much of a hassle at the moemntYou just press a single button then forget about them until you unlock processing.
bump?
>>568686937Thanks.
>>568676843> Then it would be pretty trivial to send them againWill it be just a * copy unable to put in the box?
mina exe doesn't work with proton so I pirated mapmap instead. It's alright. took me way too long to notice each square is 5 steps/meters long. I can't use the splitters for some reason.
>>568687778The signals weren't accepted, because Anon didn't send them properly in a drive box.
>>568656706>>568657602Why is Moonstone being played on the inferior DOS version instead of the much better Amiga version? There is a noticeable difference.

Good ol' english language. If there is a word with only 1 letter its gotta be an A or an I.It's a free starter everytime and from there you just scout the 2 and 3 letter words for commons or look at double letters in 4 letter words.
Posting it here too.Did the ACSanon manage to do that thingy withing the 4-5 ingame years?
Oh now I have to play as mc 90s generic man instead of hot french chick.
For some reason the voiceacting of all the guys and the waitress here are so much worse, like they recorded it in a construction container.So the game has been pretty good. Has a hint system, not too stupid puzzles, even has the quick entry into new screen with double click. No run makes many animations feel longer taking and the resolution is a bit bad, oh yeah and the speech bubbles and their font are tiny compared to the screen space but nothing major to make it unplayable.
>>568694878I'm done with my dose of FH6 and need to finish the rest of my rentals before I cancel gamepass again.
>>568630785You know the rules and so do I, you wouldn't get this from any other guy.
>>568706051Read 1000xresist. It's peak.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxcfmkMvlYoThey got a new game coming too.
>>568707540Weird time for somebody to sell me new sails for my ship, but if it gives me an edge in the race I'm down for it.
>>568708395First leg completed, I'm in first place. Need to keep it up.
>>568708621Looks like the other competitors set up an ambush with two Luggers behind some rocks, trying the Wacky Races Dick Dastardly solution.
>>568709570Whoops, another ambush and this time it's a Corvette with backup. That's a reload I'm not winning or even escaping that.
>>568694878I just spent 3 hours on it and I don't know if I'm just absolutely retarded or it has some very obvious flaws, the thing is like castlevania meets zelda meets dark souls, but it seems to not understand how each part works. For example, you don't start off with a map. You can get a map later on, but it's nothing like a game boy Zelda map, it's more like an artistic depiction of the whole place, not a grid or anything like that, so after the initial section you are left blind walking around trying to figure out where in the shit you are supposed to go.Which, hey, makes sense in those three types of games right? Except here "tools" (IE: the castlevania sort of weapon that can fall of chandeliers, like throwing axes etc) can enable paths and chests. There is no way to mark the location of these anywhere.And it has the "if you get killed by an enemy you have to kill him to retrieve thing" mechanic. It doesn't go straight into currency, but you are permanently handicapped until you kill that guy. It's not very fun to get 2-shot by a guy you found while exploring, there is no "walk in, get souls, get out" kind of thing, you are just fucked, this is ridiculous given that...Player power is totally tied to "souls" (bones). Damage, tech, heals, defense, etc etc, it all comes from the same place. So the game:-Helps you fuckall in exploration-Punishes exploration-Requires explorationIt just feels really really dumb
>>568710550Did you piss someone else or is that related to the race?
They're making a sequel to GRIP:https://store.steampowered.com/app/4475750/GRIP_XR/
>>568694878>be prebotw zelda fan>see a screenshot of it>ehh might be cool>read about it>it's soulslop rollslop0% interest.Just play prodigal if you haven't yet.
>>568711350Weapons! I've only tried the initial 3, but these seem sorta dumb too. You've got the daggers which are the usual "attack fast, short range" thing, the whip which is a bit slower but has like double the range or more, and the hammer which is the slowest, hits the hardest, has a whole small moveset and is barely usable because the whole game is faster than that.The game is clearly meant to be started with the whip. There's just no contest. I don't know why they let you choose, it's a stupid thing to do, the daggers would be okay if it wasn't for the retarded fact that each time you hit with them, you get pushed back, so you can't ever just stay there and deal damage.Secondaries, again, are like castlevania, you break shit, they temporarily are set in your bar and you can use them. I don't know who decided it'd be interesting if these had anything to do with reaching places, but that person doesn't deserve their job. It comes with the extra retarded consequence of there being secondaries which are actual weapons and secondaries which are about movement, like a stupid fucking bike.My grip with the goddamned game so far is that there's like a million things in the game that feel off and there's nothing I've found so far which I feel is actually GOOD. I just don't know what the saving grace of this game is, at least so far,
>>568712456>>it's soulslop rollslopOh I forgot to mention this.It has no rolling. There's a sort of iframes mechanic, in which you can burrow and move while burrowed, but in general the game went the silksong route of having very rewarding, polished combat, only it doesn't feel rewarding and doesn't seem to be polished either.I just don't fucking know man. Maybe it gets good at some point. Maybe it's just not for me. But if their company is really hanging on this one title then holy fucking F
>>568711350This game is one they worked a decade on and needs to be a big hit for Yacht Club not to die btw.
>>568711946I think it's related to the race, I've never had something like this happen before, and I'm a bit stuck because whatever angle I come from these three fuckers seem to come for me.I am planning on kidnapping and sacrificing the wives of three Spanish governors but I purposely left that on the table for after the race and not before.
>>568713215>I am planning on kidnapping and sacrificing the wives of three Spanish governors...okay.
>>568712505Are there even puzzles? If they gave you weapon choices then they can't really design things around skills.
>>568713313>...okay.Hey now don't be judgey, you'd also happily sacrifice their wives for benefits and an achievement if you got the chance.
>>568713682I mean, sacrificing their daughters or sons, I wouldn't. Gotta get my dick wet. But their wives? Eeeeh...Also they're governors, aka the authority, and I'm French, so I live in perpetual rebellion against authority.GET THE GUILLOTINE!
>>568713460There's some stuff I've done related to the burrow mechanic which could sorta be called a puzzle, but it feels abusing the term.Like you can grab a trampoline and position it to make a jump.There's another section in which you have lava puddles and you can burrow around to make a path for the lava, which can break rocks and stuffIf you are thinking stuff like shooting at specific points in a room or anything like that then no.
>>568714215Man...yeah not playing it.
You know, there's dime a dozen cleaning games, but I think this is better than al of them because there is actually context surrounding the cleaning.Reminds me a bit of the potion-game video that one /egg/head YouTube man made, where he argued that there needs to be context for the potion making for the potion to be valuable, but can you even still called it a potion game at that point when it's just one mechanic of many?
>>568713460>>568714215Oh but actually, another thing that gets on my nerves.One thing that IS actually present in the game is platforming sections. You fall, you take damage, the usual.Only the healing mechanic in this game is 100% tied to dealing damage to enemies. Not like HK or Silksong in which you fill up a bar which you then use to heal, first you take damage, THEN when you deal damage to enemies you fill your bar with a different color and THEN if you "flask" you can actually heal.Meaning, platforming scenarios often provide no healing method. There's a flower that can drop here and there which does the "fill the bar" thingy, but generally it's just dangerous as shit.
>>568698480The more I play it, the more I consider to play it on youtube, because constant tension is exhausting, these mannequins are freaking me out, I don't feel safe in the base and always afraid of something jumping out at me.
>>568716869I've gotten used to it, a little, but still got two little sppoks in the base today. And I'm definitely too scared to explore too much outside the base, especially trying to get into the bunker in the parking lot.I guess for now I'll just focus on making the base a little more livable and we'll see from there.
>>568716869I've watched hours of this game and this is the first time I have seen any action at all.I seriously thought it was just a chill at night nongame.
>>568710550FUCKING NIGGER suicide bombed me in the harbour, get these asshole off my cock.
>>568721325Yeah take that you little shit, how'd you like dem apples?I was absolutely not adequately prepared for this race.
>>568719648Well, that's what makes it so fascinating in my opinion. It's a very slow burn kind of horror that taps into the fear of the unknown quite a lot.I haven't played too much of it yet, but I think a lot of "action" only happens if you seek it out. But regardless from the second you get to the facility you do get the feeling that something is deeply off about this place: why is it abandoned? Why are you there alone even though the facility is clearly made for a whole team of researchers? Why is a SETI installation in the middle of a valley actually I'm not sure if that one is intentional, or I'm just autistic and so on
>>568723152The Spanish have the second to last checkpoint under siege, they REALLY don't want me to win the race.I am going to kidnap and sacrifice the fuck out of their wives, fuck you all.
>>568724631The English governor is pleading with me to get all the women out of the island safely, before all the savage Spaniards can come and rape them to death as they're known to do. Guess I have to do it.
Bought Mina the Hollower and ended up refunding it, feel bad honestly, was really looking forward to something that felt like a cross between BB and Link's Awakening but it's just not that. The controls are painfully ass, the whole burrowing thing and hitboxes are fucked, I really don't know what they were thinking, what a fucking shame.
>>568725305I hate the Spanish so fucking much it's unreal.
>>568726643Lets hope they manage to push Shovelknight3D out of the door before they die.
>>568727720Don't worry, we hate you too.
>>568727820I can wait, love Shovel Knight and its DLC. Just feels like almost a completely different team made Mina. Maybe I'm just getting filtered, I had no desire to turn on any of the easy mode cheats because what is the point really then?
>>568727720>>568728021Do you guys ever take a break from raping women and eating babies?
>>568729220>Do you guys ever take a break from raping women and eating babies?Yes, we call it siesta.
>>568727820they killed it and went all in on mina because the 3d team couldn't make it good after several years trying lol. I wouldn't count on that if I were you.
>>568729220Managed to romp home in the end, the last part was a bit stressful as pirates wouldn't get off my ass. At least it's done now, I want those rewards.
>>568716869>these mannequins are freaking me outThe thing about them is that they won't actually hurt you unless you set them on fire.If you want to deal with them, you can destroy them with melee, however a single one will always respawn.But there's a pathfinding bug that may or may not have been fixed that causes them to be unable to move, if you throw them into the river(not the lake).>>568717191>bunkerVague hint to getting in: Try looking at the bunker's back.>>568723949>why is it abandoned? Why are you there alone even though the facility is clearly made for a whole team of researchers? Why is a SETI installation in the middle of a valley actually I'm not sure if that one is intentional, or I'm just autistic and so onThese aren't (yet?) answered in game, but the devs made some videos with hints to the lore.https://youtu.be/7M3N1jcnzOkhttps://youtu.be/9Pd3qYrrF-A
>>568729901I am not interested in it myself, I meant it more in a "well lets hope they just don't instantly kneel over" way.My current big hyped 3D platformer game is Kero Quest 64.

>>568730828Time to kidnap some wives.
yeah, ok. i think i got enough yunyun.While i could resonate with the whole "failing to fit in and falling into escapism well into adulthood", as a rhythm game it is pretty standard. maybe even below.I like the whole denpa music selection. but 4 Button always resorts to absolute button spam on higher difficulties. i can't stand that.The menuing is crap. the music select screen could do with some more sorting methods. or even remembering what song you were on last. or being consistent with the selected difficulty when switching between songs.i could just use the cheat keyboard to get all the remaining conspiracies but i don't even wanna bother doing that.I think NGO's raising sim gameplay was better for just telling a story.
>>568701936Ah Italiano is-a such-a beautiful language eh?
>>568740118And there we go. Aruba is happy, and decides he's got enough and fucks off into the void somehow. Managed to sail a ship off of a pond into the sunset with his new wife and other stuff. Never did tell me exactly how he pulled off all this stuff.
>>568745182Two minutes after Aruba fucked off into the void, a certain priest shows up with the Spanish Inquisition in order to deal with all this heresy and to fill me in with some happenings. The red Indian friend who sold his tribe into slavery died of drunkenness, but not before accidentally turning the entire city into heretics believing in this 'false god'.
>>568707971I played the demo and the game is so ugly. Its like its trying to look like a ps2 game, which is a good thing thats beautiful to me, but the lighting or shading is wrong and too modern which makes the player model look weird
Found a mod/fork of Theory of Magic (Arcanium) that's about cultivation, called Hundred Days. Good fucking luck googling it though. Somehow even more obtuse than vanilla ToM and the wiki is obviously in chinese.I dunno what's up with the playtime counter. It goes up by like 5 minutes per minute, but only when you're doing things.

>>568731808>These aren't (yet?) answered in gameTo be honest, I think I'm perfectly fine with there not even being an answer, the fact that the mystery is there in the first place and adds to the overall atmosphere of something being off about the place is enough for me
>>568747052I'm100% sure there's people practicing speedruns as we speak, yeah.Besides that, if one looks at this:https://steamdb.info/franchise/Shovel+Knight/It seems shovel knight peaked at less than 3k players (which sounds weird to me but should be correct?) while Mina is now around 10k so that should be okay? I don't know man, apparently I did the fourth or fifth dungeon as the first and I'm just cruising through the game now, it feels pretty absurd.I thought there was going to be a fishing minigame because there was a guy with a rod and he gives it to you but it's not really a fishing minigame at all, it's like a "you can get items and collectionables from bodies of water" thing.I have found a couple of minigames though, which were pretty nice.
>cosmoteerWhy the fuck do you need to set an entire barracks to a role? I have two guns, I just want two gunners, I don't need six. I just want them to stop abandoning the guns to go refill the engines when there's 8 fucking people sitting around idle.
>>568754571you're so earlygame that it might as well not matter
*bu-dump*
>>5687545711. There are rooms for two people2. Configure your crew roles correctly and that won't be a problem. The sooner you learn to do this the sooner you start getting several hundred% extra efficiency out of your limited crew. Max crew is the main limitation on your ship capability throughout the entire game, and progress is based on unlocking more crew.Also when it comes to non-logistic jobs where people just sit in one place 24/7, you can just dump their rooms wherever. They don't have to be near their work site.
>Orb of Creation is actually coming out June 23
>>568773203>Configure your crew roles correctlyNow, what the fuck does that mean?It doesn't mean squad orders (linking rooms). If your roles are detailed enough you could arguably skip that step altogether.It means creating your own set of crew roles you're familiar with and can easily use on any ship you design.My roles look like picrelated. The names should be fairly self-eplanatory, but they are:- General purpose logistics crew- "Extra" logi crew with low hiring priority. Useful for keeping ships smoothly functional without manual micromanagement of skeleton crews. You rarely have the exact numbers of crew available to man all your ships 100%.- Operators who will never touch logi jobs- Operators who can do logi jobs in a pinch- Logi crew dedicated to manufacturing missiles and loading launchers- Logi crew dedicated to batteries (this particular ship doesn't have any, but it's used on others)

I think they just teleport back near or right inside into the base if any door is open.I've seen multiple times them inside shortly after returning from the dishes routine: I call the drone, transfer data to a zip drive and put it in the drone, close the rolling door, go back to the main room and one them stands in the the hallway or next to it. No mannequins left in the base, the other doors were closed, so there is only one way to garage and it couldn't sneak past me unnoticed. Maybe the stands are spawn points? I have them in the base.I have also heard once how garage door made "enter a password -> wrong" sounds sequence (I have changed passwords everywhere long before this), but there were no one behind the door when I opened it.> I D O N T F E E L W E L LWho did fix all the dishes, trs, crs and the tw then?
>>568778470>incremental game>releases incrementallykino, dare I say.
>>568778470genuinely quicker than average for any reset-focused incrementalsngu only left early access because 4g was sick of working on it
>>568779318>b-but other incremental "devs" are even shittier!Not the point.Consider that gaming classics like Deus Ex were made in <4 years.A fucking browser "game" like that should take no longer than a single person's weekend hobby.We truly have completely lost it.
>>568780343> A fucking browser "game" like that should take no longer than a single person's weekend hobby.How many games did you make?
>>568780560Simple browser games? A few, less than a dozen. First in the 90s, before javascript was cool.
>>568679164Yeah, I definitely wasn't expecting to spend so much time, nor to use my tools so much, so the food, water, and batteries made lots of sense.Something else I noticed was the Neptune blueprints mention being able to release a Time Capsule. I've noticed spelling and grammar errors in the time capsules that lead me now to believe that these are from other players. That when you beat the game, you get to leave a message, some items, and maybe a photo behind for future players. Which seems awesome. And it makes me 1000x more grateful to the random person that left me the electro-charge fins. They've been saving my ass since hour 1, keeping all of my equipment charged without me needing to haul batteries around.>The cyclops is great, definitely among my favorite vehicles in any game I've played.I'm loving it so far, but I'm almost scared to use it because it took so much to build. I don't know how easily it breaks if you accidentally ground it or run into a Reaper or something.I did accidentally pilot it into a space that prompted a "multiple leviathans detected, are you sure you want to be here?" warning and turned right the fuck around and went and built the decoy tube expansion immediately.
Trying to decide between Book of Hours and Strange Antiquities. Is anyone who's played them both willing to share their experience/recommendation?
>>568746513seems neat
I got Graveyard keeper for free thinking it was a rogueslop I could be slotting in for a few hours on a bored day but apparently it is a city building and management sim?
>>568746468It has a bit of shine on characters in certain scenes. Keep in mind this is a theatre kid game so the visual focus is on setting stages and setpieces.
>>568746601Checking in on the forums it looks like they just doubled and trippled down on the soulshit. Which would be a shame because that was the eyerolling meh parts about GRIME before it became really fun as platformer. Even weirder because the last dlc of GRIME was a pure platforming parcour that asked mastery of every skill of you.
>>568787030You're a shit healer, girl.show butt
>>568784882>time capsulesoh yeah, those are fun. I sadly don't remember what i put into mine. I always wondered about them though, if there are any safeguards, or you can just completely sequence break some lucky players game by filling it with late-game items.I guess there are limits to what you can do, since a lot of the progression is tied to finding locations and unlocking vehicles and base parts but still.>I don't know how easily it breaks if you accidentally ground it or run into a Reaper or somethingFrom memory it's quite sturdy. I don't think I ever had it being full on attacked by a leviathan though.My favorite memory is trying to stubbornly navigate it through a cave system where I had to literally do it inch by inch, switching between all the cameras and occasionally getting out to look if it'll fit.Took probably half an hour but it was a lot of fun and I wasn't even mad when I learned there was a much easier entry to the same cave system some ways off.>multiple leviathans detected, are you sure you want to be hereThis one is so funny, because when I encountered it, I didn't even intend to go into that area, just needed to traverse along its edge for a bit. So later I didn't even remember which place that warning referred to, since the voice lines only trigger once.
>>568787274It's entirely out of her own hands really.
>mom walks in
God damn it. When inserting the console upgrade without properly turning off the power (thought it would be enough to just turn off the power to the component I'm upgrading) and it exploded and gave me a zap, I assumed it destroyed the component, but turns out it's still here, so now I have two, because I ordered a replacement right away
Come in, Finn... Aren't you cold?
Trying to evoke this, but I think I didn't get it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvmjNk7TaM0
Ahhh, sewers!Now THIS is a videogame.
Note to self, pressing Esc while on the ATV doesn't pause the game, it makes you get off the ATV...I honestly should have bled out then and there, no idea how I even survived that shit.Also gotta say, the daily tasks are quite stressful to 100% every day, between cleaning the base, maintenance and not starving or passing out from exhaustion and I that doesn't even leave me time to properly explore. I think it's time to start treating it as just one of many optional things I can do throughout the day. Looks like sending in the telemetry tapes is enough to not get fined.Maybe it gets easier with upgrades.
Can't even show another man the soaked used tissue I found in the sewer as evidence without getting weird looks.
I'm looking for action games with interesting ideas, themes and (european)folklore, adjacent to dark souls/deep down, that I can draw inspiration fromexamples:>blade of darkness>RUNE>gothic(mechanics)>monster hunter(limbic damage changing gameplay, positioning, weapon bounce)
Finally getting into Enshrouded.>>568797708Je vous suggère de prendre le temps de réfléchir sur la direction que vous prenez avec votre vie, mon cher ami.
>look at system shock store page>has the rpg and imsim tags???? Do words just don't mean anything anymore? Even with how open and wide RPG as a term is they found a way to tag a game it does not apply to. And imsim just some youtube clickbait buzzword that doesn't exist in reality. At least horror tag fits and it's one of the first to do the horror trope of random notes of dead people lying around across the maps. Also stamina for running which is one of worst mechanics ever added that does nothing but annoy.
>>568799952You fags still haven't realized that anyone can add Steam tags? Yes, including Kevin, 8 years, who never played an immersion simulator.>inb4 why are you so condescending, you cheeky cunt?Gee, I don't know? Maybe because every thread we have, some crybaby will come here, on 4chan, to cry out like the little bitch they are, about Steam, said Steam is NOT 4chan?
>retards calling retards retardedJust another day in die
Enshrouded can be really weird.>been finding copper all around the world>haven't been able to smelt it until now, where I finally realized I accepted the bla- the melanin-filled smith's quest to find a crucible, that I could turn into a smelterI'm surprised that I still have to use copper when my first tier of equipement uses "scrap metal" who looks like iron. Iron's better than copper or bronze.
>>568800062I know players can influence them and I am calling them retarded.
>>568803435You're basically saying that dogs have furs. Or that cats hiss.Is there a point to delivering such platitudes?
>>568799073Dream of Svarog might be right up your alley, the combat is kind of weird and unforgiving, but its kind of the point, also has a rare setting of eastern european folklore and mythology.
>>568799073Okay, it's kinda more like Skyrim because it's meant to be played in the first person and hit detection is only for headshots, but TAINTED GRAIL.It's more like dark fantasy loosely based on tea-sucking britbongs' """"tales"""", though, it lacks actual IRL folklore.

immsims aren't a real thing
>>568780343That's an unfair comparison, no? Deus Ex was made by a team of people (according to Wikipedia, 20) whereas Orb of Creation (and presumably most incremental games) was made by one. For all I know it is the guy's weekend hobby.
>>568786025Haven't heard of either of those but Strange Antiquities looks pretty cool.
>>568806693>Guitar Hero but spanking assesWhat will those wacky nips think of next?>her ass doesn't get red after a hundred spanksImmersion shattered.

>>568800062According to steam, E33 is a survival horror. I hate steam so much its unreal.
>>568811570>According to steam, E33 is a survival horror
>>568811570>>568811910I swear to god, Steam tag are just people taking them as literally as possible.I always refer back to the ARPG and ImSim tags.Farming Simulator is a Simulator and I'm immersed? Hell yeah. Oblivion Remaster is an RPG and there is action in it? Sure why not.
>>568813143I mean, Oblivion coooould be considered an action RPG? I mean, you have direct input on the combat, it's not turn-based, you don't have a random chance to raise your shield?
>>568815468it's an action-adventure game like gta or whatever, not an arrpeegee
>>568815576How come? Your stats are still extremely important, you cannot fight the final boss with your starting character.
>>568815768You can get into a room via picking the lock, pickpocketing the key, doing a speech check or a favor. You can also shoot down welkynd stones with a bow an arrow. Oblivion is an imsim.
>>568816937Yeah, but most of these will fail if you didn't level up properly, so there's still character developpement, so it's a RPG.
There's a dildo, and there's this dildon't.

>>568746513Also my shortcuts don't work even though they did in normal Theory of Magic
>>568745494Okay, so; I have one *major* upgrade left to get, and that's changing my flagship for something better. I know exactly what ship I want and have been doing the sidequest stuff to get it in the background, I finally have the Navigation to control it and I'm free of distractions now. There's other upgrades I can do like improving my equipment or the actual ship or getting bigger and badder ships for the rest of my fleet or grinding my skills and so on, but this is the last major thing.Problem is, the next and pretty much last step I need to do to get it is to piss the Dutch off so much that they're willing to go to war with me, that they'll send the ship I want to kill me so I can fight back and take it myself. However, I only know two ways to lower my reputation with a nation and the first one of "pirate their ships and trade convoys" kinda works, but it's so slow going that I can't be arsed. My reputation with them is just too high to put into the shitter so casually by doing that....man, this is going to fuck up my honour. At least "slay 50 civilians" is an achievement, I guess.
>>568822685Managed to kill a bunch of people, but it seems to only be going down about 1% per person killed. Man they really love me.
>>568824771>admiration: maxed out>indians: frriend!>smugglers: admired...so, who are you fighting again?
I fucking love using every item in my pocket on every character to get unique dialogue. Literally the peak of gaming to show off my collection of assorted trash to strangers and have them comment on it.
>>568813143I think I cracked the code. Imsims are first person games in which you can shoot while crouching. The connection between them all is very clear and strong.
>>568824881>...so, who are you fighting again?Holland. The bar is dropping but not as fast as you'd think it'd be for slaughtering an entire colony.
alright, this is the second run where I take my time, get to the second level and I'm completely shredded by these fucking wriggling bastards that come out of nowhere and I can't outrun and are too many to kill, and in this case it was basically impossible to leave what are they and how do I counter themalso the game letting you happily craft a ripped bandage out of your foilage bag without any kind of prompt is absolute ass, this is the second time it happens and I've just realized what happened

I had that Factorio/Darkwood dream again. There was this resource patch of valuable scrap I wanted, but it was too close to a big fleshy hive, so I decided to set up some miners at the nearby army depot, mine the ammo from it (this made sense in the dream), and have the ammo hauled to the scrap patch for some turrets. I was clearing out the depot of bisected maw-mutants but it was taking a while because all I had was a shovel, and when the sun started setting a giant bird monster made of oil slid out from under a fuel truck and let out this ungodly droning howl that jolted me awake. I heard it again later and realized it was the horn from a passing train.
I bought crosscode based on you guys recommendation and my power went out, it still hasn't came back since yesterday. I should have guessed it was a cursed game from the tumblr faces alone. Damn you anon! I'm forced to go to a cybercafe to post this warning, do not make the same mistake I did. Do not buy crosscode at -75%. It's a trap. Now I'm forced to go to an mmorpg addicts's den. The waiter asked if I wanted a cafe olai, I almost said yes by accident but I know lai means something like milk and I'm lactose intolerant because of my superior (Asian) genes. So I ordered a latte instead. It taste like piss, I don't even like coffee. I like tea. The superior drink. This place is full of traps, and I'm not just talking about the cafe olai. I'm talking about the weird crossdresser loudly ebegging 2 rows from me. I want to go back home..
>>568838037Cool dream. I dreamed about my ex and I woke up crying. Then I went for a nap but I ended up waking up because I opened a box of chocolate and it was full of spiders, spiders everywhere.
>>568786025i've only played strange horticulture and not antiquities, but it and BoH are pretty different gameshorticultural is a lot shorter than BoH, but that's mostly because BoH is a very slow game. it's still long enough for what it wants to do. it's also a lot more puzzle focused, while boh is more about remembering connections and situationally useful thingsi certainly liked both, though i wasn't absolutely in love with either. either way i hope you like reading. have you played cultist sim or horticulture?

>>568837689With a bunch of careful sailing and shooting, I managed to take the masts down on two of the most threatening ships and safely shoot them to shit while using they themselves as cover from the other ships. Strategy!
>>568843418There she is. In some ways she's weaker than my current ship, but I also haven't upgraded it at all yet obviously whereas I have with my current one a bit. She's also not benefiting from my navigation skills or anything yet. That unique trait though, I'm looking forward to it.I'm not actually out of the woods just yet, there's still 4 ships from the original fleet left alive and I did this kinda close to a Dutch port which is sending even more ships after me, I need to let this battered and bruised ship sail itself out while I run interference enough that we can all escape safely.

apparently breaking glass in scavgame to get into pods drops glass shards you have to manually break and that's why I always got shrapnel in my feet when I tried to get into one of themalso, removing glass from your feet is so horribly painful it will make you pass out from painit feels a bit inbalanced because you'd think yanking the stuff out would be top priority, then bandagebut you're literally gonna pass out bleeding if you try to take them out, so the best course of action is to literally bandage, then take out half of them, pass out from the pain and remove the restfeels extremely punitive for no real reason considering you can fall three stories and sleep it off but god forbid you step on a bit of glasshad to down a heroinshroom that was going bad before going under

I agree that the Below Zero has some nice looking places, but I wouldn't choose one over the other.>sub 1's story is kinda cool and mysterious but there's barely any story. sub zero has at least SOMETHING going on. Or somethings.Yeah, Subnautica's story was kinda shit, but it served as a means to an end (guiding the player through the different zones and justifying why you can't just fuck off from the planet) and wasn't overly intrusive.Remember when the sunbeam got shot down in the first game? That's unironically one of my favorite moments in any game I've every played, because of the just how much restraint the game shows by not commenting on it and just letting it all sink in. If that scene was in Below Zero, I'd bet my kidney they'd ruin it by having the protagonist narrate to the player why this is a bad thing and what you should do next. The game genuinely treats you as if you're a retard with the attention span of a toddler.

>>568878673Half of Frictional's catalog is decent. Penumbras, Dark Descent, and Bunker were all solid games.
>>568878673I find most horror games too stressful to play, so for me it's adventure games: Fran Bow, Hob's Burrow, Nightmare Frames, pic-related, that sort

>>568854214are scavs too furry to get shoes
>>568883508You can think of it as an expansion to the short story, Ellison wrote all the routes.
>>568884634Yeah.... but... do I want the short story expanded? That's basically the problem.
>>568838647I've played a good 50 hrs of cultist sim and I loved it, but I stopped because it felt like I reached a glass ceiling where my midwit IQ/ADHD was the barrier to progression, as I wouldn't be able to memorize or remember all of procedures necessary to achieve a victory. I still boot it up from time to time just for the quintessential lovecraftian experience and reading ancient forbidden tomes. There's nothing else like it.

Give it to me straight: How much of a Souls-like is Mina the Hollower?I wishlisted the game the day it was announced because I thought we're gonna get a nice Zelda-esque 2D adventure game from the devs of Shovel Knight. It wasn't until the review embargo was lifted that I learned it was a Souls-like. Upon learning this, my enthusiasm for the game plumetted.How much Souls-like elements are there? Is it like a full-on Souls clone (such as Lords of the Fallen or Code Vein) or is it just light Souls elements that have minimal impact on gameplay? I really don't want to play another rollslop game with 10 year runbacks to bosses.
>>568904002>Give it to me straightGetting pegged while you're wearing a schoolgirl uniform is not straight.That's all.
>>568883508>How is thatThe game itself is good but holy fuck does it technically barely hang on a thin string. Shit bugs out and breaks all the time. I had quests reset, quest items disappear and teleport into my inventory at random and NPCs flickering in and out of existence.The only good thing about how buggy broken it is that you can just get the best ending anyway despite not meeting all criteria in your playthrough because it will just break and give you the items need but didn't get.

>>568906546I got pegged like three times with three different women and they all weren't into crossdressing.
>>568878673Like the other anon, I'm too much of a pussy for horror games.But I absolutely love Darkwood. Also Voices of the Void is a great time, though so far I've tried to avoid all the spooky stuff as much as possible. Does Subnautica count?
>>568838494That's rough dude, I had that one too a while ago, though luckily it only fucked me up a little bit.Funny how that happens, dream me was fully aware of the personal growth I've made since then and I remember thinking in the dream how I need to break up with that bitch asap
How do you guys effectively use the skull in Hades 2? I feel like I've got a pretty good grasp on the other weapons but I'm pretty bad with the skull.
>>568882153>Nightmare Framesi will try this
>>568906734Ok.
>>568909868which frankly is a shame because I met two of them while I was crossdressing at a playparty.
>>568910178Sir this is a /indies/
>>568910446What. He brought it up.Not like you fags talk about taking it in the ass any less.
>>568910786The difference is that I enjoy taking it up the ass. You people at /indie/ get scammed over early access games but you keep insisting that this time, it'll be different.
managed to get deep enough in the crafting tree to make a makeshift pick, and it's actually kinda ass. But now I realized I can dig through scrap piles to get scrap, and combine scrap into itself until it gets to the required quality to make it into tool-grade components. I sure hope I can upgrade this makeshift tool into a pick without having it keep its old durability that would suck donkey balls. >>568883612you can actually make sandals, it's a pretty convoluted process.
Anybody remember the flash game "robotic emergence"? A bit basic, but I loved that game. Great atmosphere, I was really surprised to find out the OST was library music, the dev picked well
First time I get this modifier.
where are the difficulty settings in Sol Cesto this game is too easy
I ENJOY and have FUN in FTL Multiverse
>>568920934cringe
>>568919363There aren't any. To me the game was about figuring out the secrets.
I just finished a multiple months long game. Now should I play cross code or Kenshi?
Started playing HROT yesterday and I'm struggling with the difficulty. Started on hard, dropped it to normal and I'm still getting raped. Never become old.
finished Below Zeroit was shit, I don't know what were they thinking.
>crafting tweezers gives 10% durability>I suppose I'll just craft a bunch, the ones I bought from traders are 100%>they don't actually stack togetherokay. So I made 5 sets of tweezers when you usually lose like 1-2% for each time you get shrapnel anywhere.
horray I made it past the desertand uhI don't think I am making it past layer 4 for whatever reasonI have no fucking clue what happened here, I drank some yoghurt from a minibarrel but it wasn't laced with anything weird

>>568929501>it was shit, I don't know what were they thinking.
>>568933351I'm indulgent to cringe behavior, but samefagging is embarrassingyou should really reconsider if you're white
>>568929501I wanted to like it so much, but just couldn't get myself to finish it. I'm afraid that the reason Subnautica showed so much restraint in some of it's best moment might have just been the result of limitations. Which makes me worried about Subnautica 2 (which I won't play until it's in 1.0)
>>568937457if you can handle some crazed autistic lady in audiologs spouting nonsense like "the only ethical thing to do is find a place to donate our resources to the planet" or some shit you'll be fine. the actual game is really pretty and fun
>>568928293Balls!
>>568933351So did you, he's really, really mad.
Oh neat Call of the Sea got a sequel this month.
>>568936127that is not even the issue, I don't care less if I am playing some black tranny or whateverthe land areas are a good example, they could have been fun, but are just 3 areas of corridors that are barely connected to each other or the world at all, the ice worm was a good idea, but the area feels too small for it at the times, the vehicle too slow. The female NPC that lives on the planet, adds nothing to the game, feels like a lose thread from some plotline that may have been butchered during development
>>568937628I think I gave up around the time the game wanted me to go to yet another surface location to progress a story I couldn't care less about.
>>568939141>leftoid in disguiseAlright then.
>>568939141You're right on the money about the old hag, canned storyline about the sister but it was dropped as the more time went on, the less the story made sense as they were making shit up as time went. She was supposed to have been some sort of mentor for the sister or some shit.T. Faggot who got it during EA.
I don't fully understand the story which I assume is intentional. Really liked this game. How much tougher is Hard?
>>568898270Luna Abyss, it's alright so far. Leans a bit too hard on its obvious influences.
>>568939141i liked some of the land locations, the tower was neat and so was that one sort of tree grove in the southwest (unfortunately it had nothing important in it)the labs were both whatever and could've been underwater, the entire icewyrm section sucked ass
>>568942029this game got canceled innit
I've been trying to make crosscode work for over 90 minutes and it really, really doesn't want to cooperate.On linux: Buggy fullscreen, 3 different controllers have 3 different button layout and none of them match the in-game prompt, mouse+keyboard is not recognized properly, joystick aiming doesn't work on any controller (can only aim up or down).On windows: Crash on start up, had to switch version to stop the start up crash, controllers still don't work and mouse+keyboard is still not recognized properly, crash when entering the house at the end of the intro.From what I read online, controller and aiming issues seem to be a very common problem with no clear solution. I found a fix for the fullscreen issue on linux by adding "--use-angle=vulkan" as a launch option and the controller button layout by activating steam input but I can't fix the joystick issue or the fact my mouse and keyboard are not recognized. So I literally can't do the aiming tutorial. I've done the intro section 10 times in a row so I think I'm done for now. I'll check again later to see if I can fix it.
>>568942382I think people just assumed it was cancelled because it went a year or two without public updates, but it finally came out recently
oh neat, nexus has mods for scavgame
>>568942553 (Me)Oh for fuck sake... I figure out a fix.Using proton on linux instead of using the native version, because of course a compatibility layer would work better than either native version.
>>568942029that looks pretty good tho, its fun?
>>568945550I don't want to say too much before finishing the game, but I find the combat fun. The platforming I could take or leave.
>>568951889>page 10I, too, miss blogposter-kun.
>French womanFfs you guys tricked me again...
>>568848987Fucking poors. I have over 28m Pesos and want to deposit most of it for the interest, but I need a place with a bank rich enough to handle a decent enough chunk of that.
Picked up Dustland Delivery. So far it seems pretty neat, but will probably be a while before I go from learning the game to playing it. Picked up Scholar as my second crewman since my steel donut is sort of a generalist with bonuses to hunting and focus. Cheaper recipe unlock should be nice with his 40int.
>>568960483>Picked up Scholar as my second crewmanRobots are better, as they only need mood and fuel. So you can switch more often with your main so that he can rest.
>>568960969Yeah, I was thinking about a robro but didnt have enough focus to see if they had any decent stats because all the revealed ones were ~8
Well that was a game. Decent lovecraftian horror story, neat visuals, I'm of two minds about the gameplay, short but a bit padded. 6/10?I felt it was worth playing on Gamepass but I would've been salty if I'd paid $30 for it. It's clear the dev's vision for the project was broader than what we got.
broke my leg falling down the end of desert, had to wait 10 minutes doing literally nothing because I was already at the end of the level and I'm already starting to starvebut at least it's finally healed
Found a blood lake in Lunacid and got slaughtered by something that resembled a titanite demon.
Man, I really wanted to love Mina the Hollower but the combat is awkward and terrible and the platforming isn't much better. Does it pick up after you progress a little or does it just always feel like playing a fast paced Soulsborne as a slow moving NES Link style character?
>>568969692Huh, the only thing I ran into there was the huge walking thing
>>568970892I heard it picks up after a few hours. But also it is filtering a lot of people by then.
>>568970976When I exited from the catacomb I hung a left and found him in that area.
>>568960969Holy shit they drink so much of it. I mean, 2 robots and my crew stats are pretty solid for random events and stuff, but god damn I burn through 2k fuel like nothing now.
Anyone looking forward to this game?
>>568977961Never heard of it. I enjoy adventure games but I'm usually not into the anime artstyle. I put it on my wishlist anyway.
it ain't much but it's honest work
gay
I'm really liking The Void Rains Upon Her Heart.
>>568985000It felt like a very complete game when I played it two years ago, which was... 27 updates ago. Starting to think it's kept in Early Access as a running gag.
well that doesn't bode well
I wonder when VotV 0.9 is gonna hit stable>checks game pageOh damn nice
>dungeon is 4x times bigger than any other tower or catacomb I explored so far>still haven't found the end>keep finding notes inviting me to go deeper>and deeperI swear, if this ends with an Ullysses-like gotcha trying to tell me off for being curious when I could've walked away, I'm going to pop a nerve.
>>568992646What game?>>568989487Whats the "endgame" like? So far I've just been doing runs on Normal. Does an endless mode unlock eventually? What makes up the bulk of the game?
>>568993067Enshrouded. One of these games that in early access and feels more like a mix of various mechanisms than its own game.But it's kind of my guilty pleasure.
>>568993880I saw that while window shopping today. Looked like a fun romp.
>>568993067Been a while since I played it, mostly remember trying to win runs at higher and higher difficulties. I know one of the unlocks is an individual challenge mode where you can choose your upgrades but within a set budget. Will have to boot it again (tomorrow).
This is a very ominous tutorial entry.
>>568994962It kinda is, but also... well, it's early access, so there are issues, but I admit I'm having some fun. There's a comfort system like in Valheim, so you get benefits from decorating your house, unlike Conan Exiles where it's purely cosmetic.I mean, it speaks volume that you can upload your world for others to visit. I found Rivendell recreated in Enshrouded, for example.And you get pets.
>>568791947>or you can just completely sequence break some lucky players game by filling it with late-game items.I got one was full of reactor rods (before I'd even built a single solar panel) that would come in handy, but I got eaten by a Reaper soon after finding them and haven't had any luck finding them, if they're even still in the game world. I got eaten after swimming around the Aurora and trying to swim straight back to the lifepod, not knowing there are THREE Reapers hanging out in that region. I built a scanner station on the edge of their territory to see if my dropped items might show up on the scan but so far have found nothing. I don't know if they all drop to the seafloor as individual items or if a floating chest gets left behind or what.>My favorite memory is trying to stubbornly navigate it through a cave system where I had to literally do it inch by inch, switching between all the cameras and occasionally getting out to look if it'll fit.Every time I'm tempted to do this I talk myself out of it because my Cyclops just isn't a fully functional base yet. I use it mostly for its cargo hold, and I park it outside caves to use as a beacon to find my way back out. I should probably build more inside of it.

>>569005873it means fat
>>569006234It means racist scam. I remember that game, a wannabe Animal Crossing, where you feed shrooms to a black guy, and he starts making monkey noises.

>The radiation line is a time limit mechanic in Scav Prototype. It takes the form of a pair of lines, one red and one blue, which overlap and become purple when the line is close.>Upon spending one hour in a layer, the radiation line will appear at the top of the screen. The line takes 20 minutes to cross the layer, setting a 20 minute time limit for the player to leave. The player will be heavily irradiated if they stay above the line, forcing the player to move down and exit the layer quickly. The line is marked on the player's depth chart with a red X.Oh. So basically you don't just die when you have the 1 hour mark, you get heavily irradiated, and you get told when that happens too. That means you can stay a longer time in 1 and 2 than I thought.
can someone tell me why there's so many chinese mods for scavgame
>>569002140I honestly don't even know what the death punishment is. If your items just despawn or what, once you get past a certain point it becomes hard to really die, or maybe I'm just overly careful.My last run was on permadeath and I only had to restart once after getting cocky and running out of air in the mushroom cave in the early game.
>>569006589As a lirik sub sunday watcher I am convinced these random thing simulators are 100% only sold to streamers and no one else.A huge portion of them are literally the same just with a different theme. So many shop sims with the exact house and street lol.

Holy Reddit
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4503690/Fat_Fleet/Thank you Interactive Recommender, very cool
Are there any 3D maps of subnautica caves? I'm going crazy trying to find a way through the twisty-turny mushroom forest cave. I briefly found a passage that led to a different biome but it had a predator in it so I backtracked to my seamoth and now I can't find the way forward again.>>569013457Supposedly, you keep everything you had when you last left a base (and maybe the Cyclops), and everything else gets dropped where you died, aside from 1 random item, which you keep in your inventory, or so I've been reading. I only died the one time and don't recall if I held onto a random item and never found my dropped inventory. I just know half my inventory was gone when I respawned, but I still had all the tools I left the lifepod with.
>>569023860You can pop up a 3d map on the hand held propulsor or whatever the name, Iirc you have to flick the light button twice or thrice. Also a good tip would be to either leave a beacon near the entrance, or use the tool that leave floating guides that you can use as breadcrumbs to find your way back.
>>569021647Why are indie devs keep adding that cat into their games? I don't even know what it references.
>>569025602>You can pop up a 3d map on the hand held propulsorYou're a fucking king. I just assumed the Seaglide map was like the sonar/scanner maps and only worked in the space you were in. I didn't think it would show every passage of this cave system.
>you can still craft an interact with items, craft and move around at the bottom of the layerI took a nap and it said it was an "okay" sleeping place.I mean, it's a demo.
>>569016018>So many shop sims with the exact house and street lol.>shelf stocking all uses the same code and looks the same>stock BGM tracks suddenly changes to another track with no fade out/in (assuming the dev bought more than 1 track)>any part of the game that wasn't bought from the unity store is jank as fuck and barely works>brags about being solodev>twitch features in game

Finished Dungeon Bodega SimulatorReally REALLY easy and simple shop simulator that feels more like a coping project based on the dev's own experience of getting fired from his 10+ dev job and trying to start new as an "indie" (The same thing happens to the MC) than an actual videogame.>>569025912Funny thing that fucking cat appears TWICE in the game>>569027821>twitch features in gameIs that a thing?

I am like 9000% sure that this guy is a fed.
I was wondering if I could craft an ice pack since that shit carried me hard through the desert when I had a broken leg but it looks like the coldfruit isn't even in the game at this moment?Shame.Also, it's so weird having a big brain. You can make batteries out of chunks of plastic and some copper which you find lying around in pods, sadly electric drills seem to be int 16 tier
>>569037221He has that strong "how do you do, fellow tourist" energy.
>>569038591you can trade for it, technicallyyou just need to get very lucky and find a trader on a late layer
very interesting (and lucky!) dungeon generation layout, there's even a ladder to get out>>569038658you have to luck finding a trader first, I'd rather just make a regular pickaxe. Although I really do dislike that the durability of the items is inherited. Especially since a bunch of items ignore this altogether (canvas and ropes' spoilage is agnostic of how rotted the original was, same as canteens not inheriting how shitty the rope you made them from was etc)also finding a trader is just luck, which means you rely on digging by hand unless you grind forever or unless you get really really luckythere could be an intermediate drill that isn't as high tech as the plasma cutter, like a jackhammer or something at int 14something that's still reachable by most characters without genuinely unholy amounts of grindbecause who the fuck's gonna make a titanium pickalso one thing I really disliked on top of the fact that making was the fact that making a belt didn't mean I could repair the existing oneI had a belt (25%)made a new belt (50%)can't combine that into a belt (75%)kind of ass
>>569039340crafting is not required to play at alli don't craft anything beyond things i happen to come across, basic bandages and a flashlightmy longest run took me to 3.6km without drill pods
>>569039587Everyone is saying that youtubers are losers, but I feel like everyone started playing this game since Sseth reviewed it.Either that, or you're a lot less shameless.

>>569040181there are, you just start looping in the demo after the fifthfinal release is going to have 12 layers
>>569040383Yeah, my bad, it's the other one.
>>569040386>you just start looping in the demo after the fifthwait, there's not even a wincon?I've had a ton of fun with the toolbox, but also a lot of grief. Last run I found a heavy drill, and a toolbox, put all my medical tools automatically with the QoL mod to optimize for weight, which meant that the moment I fell down because of a trap I was completely fucked up and I had no way to get up to recover my tool to get up again to the toolbox, and I fell between a lake of lumalgae and a steel/heat tiles structure.
>puzzle so shit it still doesn't make sense with the ingame hint system
I want to reinstall Hotline Miami.I don't even like the game, I just like the music.

>>569042550World of tank looking real weird after edibles.
>>569042550these no man's sky updates are wild.
>>569042753it's not survivalcraft because your goal is not to build a base and then chop off ten million dog asses for a 10% damage bonus, your goal is to descend while managing a very complicated and turbulent system, your health in this caseit's closer to something like noita or spelunky
>>569043210yeah it's basically furry noita
>>569029118>I think dropped in this context just means they get deleted. Or at least that's what I always assumed.I've heard they do get dropped into the game world, but if you don't respawn near them and stay near them, they fall through the map and get deleted when you get too far away. It seems to happen frequently enough that a lot of players assume the items just get deleted. Possibly because most people tend to die 1km or more away from their respawn.
oh hey, you can make soup out of scavs for no debuffs. That's interesting.
>>569008659I don't think that analogy works, because people who get seasick would self-select out of being sailors.
>>569045529And people can select out of being Chinese. Expatriates exist, and you can change your nationality. If you choose to stay Chinese, then it's your problem. Like for the English, why would you ever want to live on an island, under a Monarchy? You gotta have brain damage for that.
Guess I'm giving Timberborn a shot, now that 1.0 has been out for a while.It even has an intro cinematic now, too bad you can't get your settlements to look quite like this, on account on everything being on a grid, but at least I found a map that looks similar enough to this, except it only has a lake instead of the river

Gravity Circuit free to grab bros. Pretty solid Megaman ZX like, not a clone though and no spammable ranged attack, well there is a chain grab I guess.https://store.steampowered.com/app/858710/Gravity_Circuit/Sequel announced
>>569060386my bad
>>569065981np
Played the Entropy demo6 Niggas In Two Rows Bleak Tactical Turn-Based RPG by the Dread Delusion dev. The main "gimmick" is that the game has permadeath for your companions which would make you think "Then the combat must be challeging". Except it's not really, at least i had no problem in the 90 minutes i've played. Also the maps themselves are small and not very interesting. I understand it's "small indie company solo dev blah blah" but there's nothing really engaging in the game.
I do like Trakhanov's artstyle though
>>568959695>+300% bonus from my LeadershipDamn I'm good. Still just working on scraping the materials together for my upgrades, going well though.
>distorted phantom pops up on my screen and screams at me at the same time every dayWoah so this is the power of horror indie. Then I died on day two after walking into a place that the game clearly WANTED me to walk into and I lost all my progress on the shitty stardew valley chores. Losing the will to continue.
>start scav run>open drop pod right next to starter pod >material bag AND duffel bag>go down to grab a geofruit>trampoline into spikeThe rng giveth, the rng gaveth away and skill issue helps it along.
>>569072627Honestly, I didn't like the game. I've seen people compare it to Outer Wilds and the comparison feels almost offensive to me.That said, don't focus on the tasks. Yeah the story says you are meant to do the garden yadaa yadaa, well, you don't have to. It does give you a little bit of money if you do, but chances are you are better off exploring and finding out how stuff works, that will eventually make it a bit easier to take care of the garden too.If you don't care much for mechanically, non-story spoilers: There's an ending for doing the gardening on all three areas. That's about it. You eventually learn a way to water everything instantly with little effort too, so it's better to wait till then.Also, you can evade some death scenarios by going back to the main menu and in again.Beyond that yeah fucking jumpscares are retarded. There's an option somewhere to lower the volume of the sounds that play through them. It doesn't stop me from thinking they are dogshit, but it makes them more tolerable.

>suddenly says he loves her to himself at the start of this chapter>forces a kiss on her while she is tied up after attempted kidnapping and a guy dying mere seconds beforeWhat the fuck? This is the type of shit I expected to see in Full Throttle.And here I was happy to finally get to be on adventure with both of them instead of just Mr American. Nico just had been sitting at home all game after the intro chapter. Hope that changes in the sequels.
And now they kissed for real after a suddenly very rushed ending with random gunshots and magic real confirmed.Good game tho. Impressively well aged for a game its age, directors cut from 2009 and original from 1995.Negatives are lack of proper screen resolutions so you just have to go fullscreen and many things do look blurry, elying on roman numerals as puzzles sometimes and that despite featuring 2 playable protagonists you never get to play them together for duo puzzles.The game has a great hint system that doesn't reveal everything at once and most puzzles flow really well on its own, fully voiceacted and great across the game, dialogue and inventory system that is not bloated verb system and some really nice backgrounds and occasional humour. Definitely going to play the whole quintology and apparently there was a 6th announced but no date in sight.

Thoughts on Vintage Story? It looks like Minecraft but with small tech progression
>>569090753it's basically a lowtech minecraft survival pack except it's not on javayou need the right kind of autism but if you have that it's very good
>>569046759>>569061019i have been thinking about getting back in the game.its very fun if you are into building stuff. Basically a colony/city builder with a little /egg/ and fluid manipulation. Instead of just storing water in storage buildings, for example, you build dams and reserves on the map, upstream.

That doesn't look too bad, either.Through I could raise the graphisms a bit.
Raised all graphisms to max.I fell to 20 FPS but it made for good screenshoots.
>>569090753I always say it's Minecraft buy good, if you're in the target audience and Minecraft but boring if you aren't.I personally think it looks better, because it adheres to the voxel grid less strictly and has lots of particle effects, things reacting to the wind etc.Other than that it just has more attention to detail. Soils has fertility stats so you need to rotate crops, your max HP is tied to how diverse your diet ist, there are seasons and your first medium term goal is to stockpile enough food to make it through winter. I also like how crafting actually takes space, in MC you could beat the entire game out of a 3x3 dirt cube at least last time I've played, which was still before 1.0 to be fair, in VS the devs said they want for as much of the crafting as possible to happen "in the game world" instead of an inventory screen of some crafting station. So while in MC you'd build a smithy purely for your own enjoyment as its crafting stations are functionally identical to the aforementioned 3x3 you probably already have, in VS that building can actually sever a purpose, by having room for your various tool molds, anvil, forge, crucible, bellows etcAnother thing that lots of the processes take time. Burning charcoal in a pit, firing clay, waiting for bee colonies to grow and migrate, waiting for the various steps in the leather tanning process, making iron or steel. At first I assumed that's just because of muh realism, but I think it also serves a nice game design/pacing purpose. Because everything takes time, you can't just focus on a single thing to rush and potentially burn out on, instead the game organically gives you some downtime to go and do other things and engage with other mechanics while waiting for something else.I could talk about this game for hours as you can tell I know it's not for everyone, but god do I love it.
>>569125790Vintage Story might have the slowest farming I ever saw in a video game. It is NOT a game where you spend your time in your base, no. You're constantly moving around.And fuck sake if armour is expensive.
>>569126232This is why people in the bronze age that had a bronze weapon usually didn't also have bronze body armor.Industrial capacity almost always exceeded practical supply and the proliferation of ironworking is what allowed entire armies with metal body armor to be regularly fielded.
Does vintage story do that thing some games do where just not getting hit at all is so important that the mobility debuffs of armor turn heavy armor into a trap?
>>569127590heavy armor is actually really good defensively but only when it's better than whatever's hitting youotherwise it won't do shit and will fall apart instantly
>>569127590Heavy armor is very good for protection, but its debuffs make it unviable for regular exploration because the low walking speed and faster hunger rate. It's best used for deep cave diving and exploring story dungeons, because anything there anything can one shot you without armor.Also the combat is jank enough that not getting hit isn't reliable.
>>569127590lol noI wish that was the case, because heavy armor is expensive to make and put a lot of debuffs on you (you get hungry faster, you're slowed down, metallic armor makes you colder), but it's extremely difficult to not get hit in VS. Even the thing I abused, diving into water since the PC swims faster than animals, has been nerfed. And the real enemies? They all have ranged attacks with fast projectiles.
>>569127590I've heard people argue that leather armor is one of your best option because it allows for mobility. I've never had a full suit of heavy armor for now so I can't speak for that, but like the other anon said, armor isn't something you just wear 24/7 because it also increases your hunger rate, so you just put it on when you're expecting a fight.
>>569128490>And the real enemies? They all have ranged attacks with fast projectilesThe projectile in question
>>569129867If only.
>>569129867countered by ladders
apple
>>569129709Mobility only matters if you are running away from a charging bear. But if you are fighting things head on mobility doesn't matter much, because the hit detection is jank. Being able to tank 20 hits is better than trying to avoid 3. But that's only a problem with high tier enemies. For animals and shallow caves leather is enough.Although the tailored gambeson is better than leather. It has a minor hunger debuff, but that's practically nothing once you have a full cellar and also a healing debuff, but you can just take the armor off, apply bandage and put it back on. The only real downsides are that it can only be made by a tailor (though you should turn off class restrictions off in sp anyway) and the materials are harder to get.>>569130079Bears can climb ladders

Wait a fuckin' minute.Why are there generic jungle sounds on this island floating on an ocean planet without birds or insects?The only animal life on this rock are the little eyeball spiders and maybe the flying manta rays.What the fuck is making the hooting and chirping sounds?
>>569132671Yeah. Honestly, it tanks my FPS but it looks perfect.
I gettit
>>569132671I remember there being birds.
>>569132671The surface is where this game falls apart. Whatever you do, do not look at the ocean from a high enough vantage point. I'm genuinely amazed how something can look so good from up close and so shit from a distanceAlso what >>569134520 said, aren't there some bird creatures in the cutscene where you emerge from the lifebpod?
Illusory wall ahead, in short butt hole.
>>569134764
found a container pod that was generated slightly broken at the bottom with a few missing heat tiles although sadly even while trying to ragdoll it really seems like I can't get in are these always a trap if you don't have a tool capable of digging through steel tilesI really want the damn ripped bag, it's supposed to be one of the best containers in the game
Eventually broke the steel tile by banging on it with a trowel. Made a headlamp, which is somehow 8 times as light as a flashlight but it can't be turned on and off. It's fine, handsfree light slot seems great.Another fun intersected dungeon gen.
>>569134520>>569134593There are skyrays.I think there's one on your pod when you open the hatch and on the islands. They're white ray-type creatures. They kinda look and sound like birds.

Trekking around the bottom of the layer always feels like a good call.
>>569143014Shieeeeeeeeeeer!
>>569143014guns are very useful once you get past the the tutorial layers
>>569126232My favorite part of games like subnautica is the base building. Don you think I will enjoy VS?One thing I like in subanutica, factorio and others is how building stuff serves pratical purposes, like giving me better gear, easier ammo, food or whatever.
>>569145057Depends. VS is very practical: you CAN put tools down, but you have no item that is only here as a decoration. It's not like... Conan Exiles, or ARK or Enshrouded or even Valheim where you have a lot of stuff that is literally just for comfort or for cosmetic: if you see a barrel in VS, you can put stuff in it, if you see a crate or a chest, you can put stuff in them. If you see a bundle of sticks on the ground, it's because someone put them in.Like, you can put stuff on the ground instead of in a basket, and it does serve a purpose: it only take a right-click to pick it up, so it's very interesting to keep firewood out of chests to easily access it in half a second compared to opening the chest, click on the stack of firewood, move the stack of firewood to your inventory, close the chest.I hope that answered your question? And to concur on what another Anon said: VS pushes you to make a full smithy, instead of just a forge. Smelting ore into ingots takes a crucicle, ingot molds, and a pair of thongs, but blacksmithing the ingots into tools? That takes a furnace with charcoal, an anvil, a hammer, and if you wanna speed things up, also some water. You can throw hot metal in the water to cool it down instantly instead of letting it cool off on its own.
>>569145613That sounds good. The game is a bit expensive for me, but maybe I will try it.I never played most of these games you mentioned, only watched some videos of valheim and that is a thing that bothered me. I disliked The forest, for example, because you start with all blueprints and can easily make stuff, but you are supposed to explore all these scary caves mostly for story reasons, or just for the sake of it.
>>569141830Is there a city with missions, like in GTA?
I really want to get into schmups because but I think my reflexes are half shot due to old age. I've played for ten hours and haven't even gotten to the end floor boss in Stars of Providence. Getting practically slaughtered in Sektori, think I only made it to the third boss so far. I realize both those games aren't traditional schmups.
>>569147753*because I like the concept
>>569111760Might be me, yes.Who are you supposed to be?
I'm going to ejaculate so hard if VS ever adds muskets
>>569090753>It looks like MinecraftIt's a fundamentally different game.
>>569148079You know about the gun mod, right?
>>569148079In the meantime there are mods for it
>>569144171Tutorial layers?>takes a hand slot (can be knocked down, encumbering, heavy)>needs expensive ammunition that can only be found by chanceThe only place I would think they're useful is the last layer which has enemies you can't punch or avoid easilycarrying something in an extremely limited amount of slots only because it will be useful at the very end of the game against a certain enemy feels silly, especially since I'm already at my wits' end with inventory management as-is and I have the bare minimum
>>569132417>hit detection is jankIt's not, it works smoothly without any flaws.The actual problem is hitboxes. They're straight outta minecraft and in many cases don't match the entity visual model, not even close.
>>569090753It's literally built on a minecraft mod, which has small tech progression.I don't like it. I've played the original. It was limited and boring in scope, and only sort of worked in larger modpacks, and even then a lot of the features were more annoying than anything.It's a silly game for silly people.

>>569155381>Haven't*Havingfuck me>>569155441
>>569155381>I'm thinking other anons are just having an issue in skill.The game is poorly balanced regardless. You start out with basically nothing, but you are able to go wherever you want from the start AND you can purchase obscene amounts of power from the start. On top of that, as soon as you get any spark, losing bones means you are probably retarded.I found most bosses to be button mashing material and I don't think that's meant to be the case.
>>569156195Starting to think open world is a shitty meme for talentless hacks that could never into the very basics of gamedesign and leveldesign.
>>569156439why make a bunch of levels when you can just make 3 and copy & paste them all over the map?
>>569083626>Minding my own business in port>A tornado / water spout hits my docked shipRude.
Right from the get go Broken Sword 2 has a way nicer menu and resolution. From what I've read this one got an actual free remaster while 1 got a paid one so I played the original cheap one.
>>569154642>What went wrong?Too grindy I guess.
>>569156195The area I beat was the graveyard zone. The only thing I bought was the whip upgrade that gives a bit of extra damage if you hit things with the tip. You do seem to die very quickly, but all the enemies so far are very predictable so its not too hard to just not get hit. I really enjoy the game feel. Burrowing and the platforming is fun.
>girlfriend kidnapped>tied to a chair>giant tarantula approaching>fire at the closed doorAlright it's go time. They changed the VA for Nico but Mr America is still the same so I assume it's still playing as him most of the game.
Ahh now these are proper fonted speech bubbles. Very nice. The game making use of widescreen is also great. The original games had very side scrolling backgrounds so you can just show more and in some areas they even show more with before unused assets.
>>569156439Let me provide you with enlightenment."Open world" is not a game design decision. It's a development workflow decision.The reason open world games are made is that that choice allows you to make "the lava zone" and "the water zone" and "the tech zone" and whatever-the-fuck you want to make, then just place it somewhere in the world and call it a day, rather than having to build a coherent path that goes through these in a way that makes any sense at all.Mina for example. You could put anything as the place you reach through train. Anything at all. Does it make geographic sense for a mausoleum to take as much space as any of the other areas? Who cares? You could replace any of these zones and it wouldn't matter at all.>>569156959Yeah that's supposed to be the first area as intended. If you want to "follow the path" you can check the newspaper to know where to go next.My prediction is that you'll end up overpowered either way.
>Squashed the spider achievement>literally required 3 minutes into the game>32% of people got this
>>569157540>you'll end up overpowered either waySeems like that will be the case. I guess that's why there are a dozen self restriction feats.
>>569154642>>569157779There's a lot of people who haven't played the games they bought. Either because the got it in a bundle or gift and not actually interested.Or bought it when it was cheap, but are still working through their backlog.
>>569158459To be counted into the cheevo stats you have to had started the game at least once. That means they also installed it.
>>569158459I swore they only count people who have played the game.
>>569158720>>569158686Then I don't know.
>>569146140Fair. I'll start another world and try to make an organic house so that you can see how my houses look like, but keep in mind I'm casual and it takes time. And also it's possible to make a cellar.And food spoilage is a thing.>I disliked The forest, for example, because you start with all blueprints and can easily make stuff, but you are supposed to explore all these scary caves mostly for story reasons, or just for the sake of it.To be fair, the Forest's ultimate goal isn't really to survive, but to make it to the end, and you need to explore the caverns to gather all the needed stuff, so survival is just a part of it. Normally.Vintage Story has no real goal.For Valheim, Conan Exiles and Enshrouded, you can build a lot, and I do mean a LOT of stuff, but 90% of it is just cosmetic meant to raise your comfort level, which is a buff needed to fight the bosses.Vintage Story does have some cosmetic stuff, like curtains and carpets, but yeah, I think... 90% of the items have practical uses?>>569157536Kick the foot of the closet.Right click on the pottery.
Just realized that headlights do have an on-off switch, it's manually removing the battery with a wrench.Also, 1 medium battery and 2 small batteries hold the same charge and have the same weight, but medium batteries require an extra step. This means that if you have a material pouch crafting a bunch of small batteries is the best way to go, as it uses less components, and if you have extra crafting components lying around turning all your small into medium works great.Large batteries hold 3 times as much as medium batteries, but only a select few items can be used with them, which meant I was lightless for a good 15 minutes with the radline coming down on my ass while I was trying to gather components to craft small batteries at the bottom of the world, with 2 large batteries at my name.
>2 asian girls laughing at meNooooooooo>>569160295Long solved.
>>569146140Here's how my usual lategame shelter looks like.By VS standards, though, this is very, very early game, since I only have copper tools, and no preserving jar. Not even an oven.

>>569156950I guess? IDK if grindy is the right word... but when making long hauls I'm constantly>okay, gotta buy cheap fruit here to sell there for a markup the buy their cloth because the stop 2 cities down the route needs cloth, etc, etcso making a good bit of scrap on the journey thats only marginally better than my overhead (gas, VIP rooms, tolls, etc). I mean, most settlements don't have a lot of scrap to trade with so you can't really do bulk trades. If I want easy money in large amounts, I do ore procurement deliveries because 300 ore is less than 1k scrap and the missions reward you with 6-9k. Upgrading the truck is kinda expensive, but other than that you really dont need a whole lot of scrap. And the Starlight town is a money printer, so IDK.
Huh. This dune (I'm guessing they're heat-adapted since I only find dune traders in the desert) is actually offering the ice bag component, that means it's technically craftable.

>>569146140>I disliked The forest, for example, because you start with all blueprintsThat's one thing I like about Vintage Story, how progression isn't arbitrarily gated behind some research tree or something, but it's 100% based on infrastructure. You "unlock" better stuff to build/craft by finding the prerequisite raw materials, but more importantly having the infrastructure to process it.
>>569147958I'm trying to watch your videos and write down all the good vania and other good indie but the task is eating all my waking hours. I don't know what kind of automated system you have when editing your videos but I can't keep up. I can't play any of this huge backlog. I just acquire and archive thousands of them. Someone will find them one day on my corpse and hopefully get some joy out of them. Im just too busy maintaining them.Thanks anyway enjoy your boba tea.
>>569162623That's actually where having an outpost base came in super handy. I built mine close to that big tree looking ass thing in one of the case, dunno if you've seen that yet.Which biomes are you currently exploring?Having an outpost and most of the time venturing out from that in my Cyclops made me feel pretty save actually.>sonar pingsdude I love that thing so much. Being in dark and murky waters is so incredibly stressful and being able to see out to render distance, even if just for a moment, is a godsend.
>>569141830Where do i play
>>569167350>Which biomes are you currently exploring?I just finished exploring the Underwater Islands and the Blood Kelp Zone in the Northwest. Found two bigass caves I think the Cyclops can fit inside up in the Blood Kelp Zone, but ran into like 3 Crabsquids and had a full cargo hold and prawn suit, so I backed off to unload everything. I got so much quartz and copper and gold and uraninite that I feel like I could load up a bunch of titanium and lithium and build a base anywhere with tons of power generation and a fully stocked specimen tank to keep me fed, so I'm tempted to build a base down in the brine river or something. I haven't explored any of the Reaper habitats near the surface yet, but other than those 2 or 3 biomes, I feel like the only unexplored biomes left have gotta be down deep.>venturing out from that in my Cyclops made me feel pretty save actually.I just learned that the rotor slices and dices whatever it touches (picrel), so I can definitely understand that now.>Being in dark and murky waters is so incredibly stressful and being able to see out to render distance, even if just for a moment, is a godsend.Yup. Sonar has saved my ass twice now. Once in a giant cave system I couldn't see the sides or top of without it, and just now in the Floating Islands biome, because it was so dark down there that I couldn't see the damned islands unless I was 40 feet away from them.
>>569165309I will say that the extra mobility is excellent and to make a backpack when it runs out you only need sticks and leaves so that's perfectlyfinemy main issue right now is I had a trash bag from one level above that had already shitty durability, and it just brokeand the best craftable container is a foilage bag which is basically garbage compared to anything elsewish I could just rip a backpack to make a ripped bag
>>569169724>blood kelp zoneyeah, that was what I was talking about last thread, when Is aid there was an area that I didn't dare explore for hours, because it was so dark and oppressive, especially with the music. I've done my fair share of scuba diving irl just being there gave me a phantom physical response of feeling cold. Thought that's funny actually, there were quite a few moments in subnautica where thanks to my actual diving experience I could almost feel what it would be like to be there irl, like I ascending through a tiny cave in the safe shallows and almost feeling like the pressure reduced in my ears and nose, fun stuffI even scouted it out with drones first, though it added to the atmosphere that it was right at the edge of their range so the footage was super noisy.
>>569175370>real life divingSubnautica makes me want to try it, but I don't think I'd ever go anywhere near a cave.
This is not gonna be fun.
>>569179992It's a lot of fun, I recommend it. Though sadly the group I used to go with slowly grew apart so I've only been like once since Covid.It can be a bit time intensive to learn all the ins and outs with the equipment, but that's only if you want a certificate from a reputable institution, I'm pretty sure there are touristy places that let you go on an easier dive without one.Caves can be fun, but I don't get the appeal of the narrow ones either. I've only been to a couple and some of them just barely qualified as a cave instead of a deep overhang, you could basically see the exits at all times and they were quite wide. Though looking that maybe even that was a bit foolish.I think one of my favorite things is diving down to wrecks, there's something very impressive about them.
>>569061019>>569093915I think my favorite part about it, is how you can stack buildings vertically and create really fun designs.My goal is to build a beaver favela or Kawloon City
