Ah, Earth Dancer! Your dance has brought me joy and happiness. In gratitude, allow me to bestow upon you this recipe.

I feel like I'm too dumb to play siralim. It takes me hours to make a team and at the end it just instantly dies on the first combat or cause an infinite loop that results in an auto-death by the anti infinite loop mechanic.

Man, that Harry Potter game that came out 2 years ago looks like it would be the shit for 13 year old me.
But I'm not sure if it would do anything for me now, other than maybe tickle some nostalgia of playing the old games as a kid

>>531706415
it sucks. just play the old ones.

>>531706415
Harry Potter on the PS1 was the shit for me back then.
It was unintentionally scary though due to how empty the world was, at least to me it was.

Don't mind me, just posting a nice track:

you guys are really struggling today huh

>>531706719
>>531709130
I can't remember which game I owned...I think it was Order of the Phoenix on PC?
Remember being frustrated by the controls, since you cast spells by tracing a shape and it was clearly designed with a controller in mind.
Also I remember that I never managed to unlock one of the secret passages... I'm thinking of looking up the solution, just out of curiosity.

>>531727113
it didnt work well on controller either lol

>>531727180
Kek, all I remember is being pissed off at the repair spell requiring you to continually trace a circle until the object is fully repaired. Really frustrating with a mouse

>>531706415
off topic but I'll forever seethe that Harry Potter was the franchise that got big and has all these games and shows, and not Animorphs
just a single good game, please

A different children's book series from around the same time. You might've seen memes about the wacky covers. The story was about a group of kids that found a crash landed alien centaur dude who gave them the power to morph into animals, they use that ability to fight alien brain slugs that can mind control people and are trying to conquer Earth. They were outmanned and outgunned from the start, so they acted mostly as guerilla fighters sabotaging war efforts, none of that HP power of love or "I'm the chosen one, I only know one spell" bullshit. It was fairly dark, basically went from a comedic saturday morning cartoon into a full blown war story as the gang committed more and more war crimes. Near the end they recruited a bunch of disabled kids and sent everyone in a suicide charge just so they could sneak onto an alien ship and attempt genocide.

>>531730385
Oh yeah, I heard about that. Well, only thing I heard was "it starts like Power Rangers and it ends like Platoon or Ender's Game".

just had the displeasure of playing nine sols for 11h and what a god awful piece of crap this is
At its best the levels are just boring and at its worst we have the factory
>fire fills the zone every 15s
>platforms on the other don't sync to this interval so you just have to wait until they catch up to the flame
>combat heavy game except now you don't have time to fight enemies because the flame (enemies are immune to it)
>no peeking feature (you can scout but it locks you in place while there's a zone wide fire going on) so a lot of jumps/drops are trial and errors
And then every time you talk to an NPC it's 10m unskippable cutscene just to hand in a few items to upgrade your character.
And the devs probably are big Made in the Abyss fan because the game keeps flipping between OwO this is so cute to spilling furry gut and extreme sadism.
I had the displeasure of playing this an AI Limit and honestly I think the Chinese should never try making video games.
Fittingly or ironically enough these Chinese games are full of bad Chinese stereotypes too like eating fetuses and eating bugs. I don't know if they are oblivious or self aware, but one thing for sure they are not aware of how fucking shit their games are.

>>531730662
Yeah, that sums up the tone pretty well. I've heard people say HP got dark, and that's laughable. Even early on in Animorphs there was fucked up shit. In one of the first few books (out of around 50) one of the guys gets infested by a mind control slug while on a mission. The rest of the group aren't even 100% sure he's actually infested, but they can't gamble on it because if he was and escaped, they're all screwed. So they trap him in an abandoned shack in the forest, because the slugs need to feed at certain machines every three days. There's no appealing to their friendship to snap him out of it or anything like that. They fucking kidnap the dude, guard him 24/7, and nearly kill him multiple times as he tries to morph to escape. Finally after almost three days, the slug is dying and the kid gets shared memories as the starvation induced hallucinations of the slug's alien homeworld play through his mind. It ends with the slug dead and shriveled on the ground, him going back home and having nightmares about the whole thing, with some extra trauma on top because the slug was taunting him about his brother, who's been infested since the start and they can't save.

>>531735971
Oh okay, it's pretty standard so fa-
>that last sentence
Fuck.

>>531735971

>>531594038
Yeah, definitely think Illusionist is my least fave class to play, doesn't really fit well with my play style and I'm not a fan of her gimmick. Still want to unlock her relics so any class can use them though, but it's now the only class I'm struggling to get a win with.

>>531736227
nta, but the series has a pretty realistic take on trauma.
The characters don't just shrug off murder attempts, torture, friends dying like HP does.

>>531740813
These dinos look like traced over The Land Before Time characters.

>>531741143
I've never watched that myself so for all I know they could be, the art is never exactly going to win any awards.

>>531740813
>>531741404
The middle one reminded me of pic related, but looking up pictures it's not the same.
Maybe just "inspired by" rather than actually traced.

>>531741404
>>531740813
Does this play better than it looks?

>>531742340
The gameplay and price tag more than make up for the shit art, I'm having quite a bit of fun, especially now that I've got good relic and thus good starting ability options. I'm quite happy to keep playing this for the next week or so, not quite sure about going for all achievements or whatever, we'll see how I feel about it. For now though if I overlook the art there's no part of the game I don't like, maybe later on they'll introduce something I hate for all I know.

Here's a pic from someone else of what a crazy lategame run looks like, think infinite run joker combos in Balatro.

I don't play Balatro

>>531735812
>>fire fills the zone every 15s
only in open areas where you are not meant to stick in which are completely optional.
>>platforms on the other don't sync to this interval so you just have to wait until they catch up to the flame
there's a shield you activate by hitting it, and you just wait inside it for a good cycle. doesn't take more than 20 seconds.
>>10m unskippable cutscene
there are like 3 major unskippable cutscenes which last less than 5 minutes, and all dialogue is skippable.
>the game keeps flipping between OwO this is so cute to spilling furry gut and extreme sadism.
it stayed fairly consistent except for a few oddball characters (shan-hai assistants) who are meant to be extremely quirky to exaggerate the personality of their respective sols.
>not a single word about bossfights
you just got filtered by the factory lmao

My favorite part of Nine Sols is how they characterize the villains.

>we ran out of attention so now I'm gonna bring up another furry misery game

>>531743659
Fucking finally. Probably took me 12 to 15 attempts, that scenario is a bad match up for the Illusionist, and I'm still kinda shit so I was just hoping to get a lucky enough start to carry me.

>>531750395
Now that's a die face, where to put it is the question though.
Will be interested to see if the effect doubles up at all, as in if it double counts a face that's already sun, or counts a moon face as a sun face too. If no to both it's on the weak side, if yes to either my erection is immeasurable.

>>531760652
>as in if it double counts a face that's already sun, or counts a moon face as a sun face too.
Well the latter is for sure true, I'm unsure about the former until I roll one during the day.

>>531760981
So glad I didn't fuck that up, there was a moment there where I had a 30% chance to not insta-die on the spot and I nailed it. The Sunstone apparently only stays unlocked if you actually win with it in your inventory.

Does anyone have a link to World of Dogs alpha? I don't want to join a faggot discord just for it

any noita gamers in the thread? this game is ridiculous but i love it. just got my first win and i am wondering what i should be doing next. i saw some discussion online saying the alchemist, but an alchemist run seems very hard unless i go all the way down the mountain and the dig my way out for 20 minutes

>>531776942
It's been discussed before but they're not here, maybe I'll summon them by mentioning it again.

>>531776942
How many orbs have you found?

>>531778063
like 3 or 4?

>>531779053
Nice, that's a couple more than I expected.
Killing ylialkemisti should definitely be next on your agenda if you haven't unlocked his spells already.
With the greek letter spells in the random pool you can get a good run going much easier.
And he's not that hard of a boss. He doesn't have any weird counter mechanics like sauvojen tuntija over at the other side of the mines. Honestly getting to ylialkemisti through the trash mobs in his biome is much harder than the bossfight itself. But you can skip all of that and the dark water tunnels if you dig into his lair from the snowy surface.

>>531740825
Is it really for kids?

>>531730385
I remember these covers from my childhood, even though I don't think I ever read any of them.

>the space tism is hitting me again
Don't know if I should pirate Stellaris again for something a little more mindless and casual or if I want to give Starsector another try. Or something completely different.
I did play some Delta V recently, but I think that's a game that you need to play in bursts. I've kind seen a lot of what it has to offer, at least until I grind out enough money to buy a new ship to fit out for bounty hunting or salvaging or something

>>531783123
Try Underspace.

>>531780047
would you recommend trying to get a strong run going before snowy depths and then returning via the cave, or getting more or less a "perfect" setup by going deeper and then digging my way out? ive seen that there are a decent amount of reasonable strats you can approach him with, but even getting stuff like a teleport bolt, a decent digging spell, maybe light, and something that can reliably kill him all before snowy depths seems like a crapshoot. i have gotten to him once or twice and got roasted with just a basic trigger wand

>>531780730
The older kids. It might deal with things like death, betrayal, what it means to be a pacifist, war trauma, falling in love with violence, loss of humanity (in like 3 different meanings), collaborationist friends and family, genocide and enslavement of planetary civilizations, and pulling your dismembered body back together because shapeshifting 'resets' your bodily health.
But you also have chemical warfare via instant oatmeal.

>>531783642
Is this animorphs or fucking V?

>>531783320
Hmm, I'll give it a think
I've played the demo back before it was out and that didn't really click with me for some reason.
Also I think I'm not in the mood for a 3D game, otherwise I might for the thousandth time consider finally trying No Man's Sky

>>531784437
No Man's Sky's not really for space desu famalama.

>>531783123
Your starting ship in Delta V is entirely suitable for bounty hunting, with the right equipment.
If you want something else, have you played Transcendence?

>>531783123
Try something like Drox Operative or Approaching Infinity

>>531783352
Whenever you descend through the main route, you generally don't have to dig up to return to surface. Just head left from the temple of art, find the portal to the tower, and ascend through it.

That might be the best way if you're not confident in your ability to take him on earlier.
There are ways to cheese him with early basic spells (or even enemies found in the alchemy lab) but I'll leave discovering those to you.

>>531784437
Space Rangers, maybe?

>>531784651
Fair enough, but it kind of tickles that space exploration itch and form watching some gameplay I assume that landing on one out of a trillion random generated planets would make me feel very alone in the vast universe and that's a feeling I sometimes enjoy in space games.
It's a feeling that's hard to describe. I've felt it when reading We Who Are About To by Joanna Russ, where a group of people crash lands on an uninhibited planet with breathable atmosphere with no chance for rescue. The thought that they had the whole planet to themselves was so eerie to me.
>>531784941
>>531784997
>>531785084
>Your starting ship in Delta V is entirely suitable for bounty hunting, with the right equipment
Yeah, I think I just don't want to commit to that and would prefer just owning multiple ships for multiple jobs. Also I have my starting ship fitted out very nicely for mining and don't want to fiddle with the setup anymore
>Transcendence
Looks interesting
>Space Rangers
Looks like game that won't run unless you get it on GOG. Also I think I used to confuse with that with Star Sector for some strange reason
All of this reminds me that I still wanted to play Homeworld. I'm just awful at RTS and got my ass handed me in what felt like the first few missions

>>531786192
I see. Then I think NMS might please you.
Feel free to try Endless Sky too, it's free so it won't cost you a penny.

How do I get twitter to introduce me to cool new games? Liking stuff fails, following stuff fails, search bar is useless...

Put my modded Cyberpunk playthrough on hold because I got too much other shit to play. It's pretty decent actaully, I enjoy just walking around the city with some mods that nudge it towards a life sim
>>531793362
It's a fun time. It made me understand why agriculture was such a big deal in human history. Obviously I already knew but it made me FEEL how much time you save, once you don't have to spend half of your day hunting and gathering just so you don't starve.
>>531786389
Though I should add that book is a very unfun story about how all of them kill each other, themselves or die. But somehow the idea of being on a planet all by yourself is as horrifying as it is appealing and somehow the planet being livable amplifies that feeling a lot compared to it being some dead and frozen rock.

>>531798590
Oh yeah, Vintage Story is excellent. Every tech up feels like a major improvement and makes you realize why moving on from stone age to copper age is such a big deal.
My first grain harvest in Vintage Story was the moment I completely stopped worrying about food.

And yeah, Cyberpunk is fun. Going for a stealth build so far, I must admit I struggle to get it, but I appreciate that, even in Hard, getting spotted isn't the end.

Ok, first off, holy shit, this game has two speeds, way too fast and dead, and that's fantastic. Absolutely not for those who want a slower paced game though lmao

Secondly, the lack of audio doesn't do this game justice, you need to hear this game to enjoy it fully, the sounds of the cars and weapons and music fit so well with what's happening on screen. This is the type of game where you stand up to focus on a regular race

This was $6 CAD on sale and I can see myself getting at least a dozen hours outta this, maybe more, def doesn't seem like a 200 hour game, would recommend

>>531827253
And you're not even using the nitro. GO FASTER!!

Murder. With all the secret levels you get tons of exp if you kill everything and I'm not wasting any resources while doing it thanks to the 0 mana forcebolt.

>>531799085
>My first grain harvest in Vintage Story was the moment I completely stopped worrying about food
Yep, same.
It's a shame that magic is vastly diminished on subsequent playthroughs. Also I really like how despite it being a sandbox game, getting enough food for the day and later getting enough food for the winter become very real goals to work towards.
>Going for a stealth build so far
I'm playing some weirdo hybrid right now and honestly at the moment it feels like perks barely matter, at least the ones I have access to and I'm too lazy to read the whole upgrade tree for each skill.
I wanna do melee eventually, because the mantis blades are cool and I did spec into stealth and hacking a little, but I treat it mostly like stealth in Metro 2033, where the question isn't if an encounter will turn into a firefight, but when. So I just use stealth to prep the battlefield and rig the odds in my favor as good as I can.

Kaizen threads made me reinstall opus magnum
I'm on chapter 5/6 and getting real tired of it after a mere extra 3-4 hours of play
It feels tedious, finding the order of operations rather than the breakthrough eureka of actual puzzle games. and solving is bottlenecked by having to use 24 atoms but only having 2 dispensers.

Look outside was pretty fun. A good mix of horror and silly. The vast majority of enemy encounters are completely unique, and each sprite is better than the last.

It's on the shorter side of a turn based RPG which is a good thing if you ask me because 10-15 hours of fun is better than doing the same stuff over and over again for 60 hours.
The game kinda positions itself as something you should replay once or twice as getting perfect ending is just cryptic enough that you might not get it on your first time. However, I don't think there's quite enough randomization to make a second play-through interesting.

Game's also way too easy. Even on the highest difficulty (normal) and doing the optional difficulty challenge relating to a hole in the wall I could still blast through the game. I guess this has to do with the fact that I used 4 party members (Sam + 3) in both play through and combat doesn't really adjust to that. I can image doing a solo playthrough is cock and ball torture, but that's not really something the game seems to encourage. The many difficulty from the regular game comes from being set back a lot if you die, but that's about it.

The apartment and personal management side of the game is also weak. I never ran out of food or hygiene items once. And having half a dozen people at your apartment doesn't lead to much. They don't consume more food, and as far as I know there aren't any events where they get in a fight or do anything that would actually make you want to kick them out. There are no meaningful downsides to having companions in your apartment, and I never once interacted with the needs system (because it's way too easy to stay clean, fed, happy, and rested).

The story is alright. It's not plot heavy, but the theming is strong and writing is strong.

>Starsector
>Kinetic weapons do 200% damage to shields and 50% damage to armor
It will take me forever to internalize this. I honestly don't know which media made me from this association, but in my mind kinetic weapons are blocked by shields and only do damage to unshielded targets. Then again you don't do damage to the shield as much as you drain the energy required to keep it up

>>531877848
Moonwood also feeling pretty brutal, I need a better strategy or something because this isn't working.

>>531884029
Well yeah Starsector's damage types aren't necessarily the most logical.
Back in our mundane reality without magical force shields, kinetic penetrators should be better against armor than high explosives, not the other way around.

>>531885743
>kinetic penetrators should be better against armor than high explosives
Yeah, that was the next thing that was a little counter intuitive. But I guess as long as I remember which number to press when fighting shield, armor or hull I should be okay

I'm level 2 on my first underrail playthrough. My build is melee/throwing/mechanics/chemistry/stealth/lockpicking/thought control. I'm thinking about starting over, losing thought control and not taking the pill, any advice on which option is better? It's a pretty big health loss because my constitution is high. I also am thinking about switching to metathermics because the chill effect seems useful and I'm guessing thought control won't be too useful against robots

>>531886650
The way armor works, damage per hit is also important.
High damage per hit kinetic weapons can pack a decent punch against armor.
Basically railgun good needler bad.

>>531887240
Oh and traps is my other skill

>>531887240
underrail does have a thread on vrpg, idk how many posters for it are still here
thought control and psi generally is insanely strong
are you doing dex or strength for your melee? planning on any specific weapon class for feats?
throwing is value for absolutely everyone especially if you're taking chemistry but you don't need to go all that hard in it

>>531887379
Aye sir.
I still haven't started properly. Replaying the basic tutorial (the one in the menu, not the in-game prologue thingy) because last time I played was like a year ago and I didn't get far

>>531887808
Oh thanks. I was going strength, I might start over to redo my stats but good to know about psi, I'll probably keep thought control I just wasn't sure if it was worth the AP. I have to look at the feats again, I was considering spear throw.

>>531887240
there is a guide on steam that cover some skill thresholds, like how much you really need of lockpicking (if you choose to invest on it) and whatnot, you should check it out, you don't need to read the whole thing, but the skill part its helpful, there is also some online char builder somewhere in the internet

my advice, if you go melee, craft yourself a taser as soon as you can, I wish someone had told me that, its basically free stun and its extremely cheap to build

>>531893076
And even if you don't go melee, craft a taser anyways
It Just Works

>>531884029
I guess it goes by the logic that they overwhelm shields, like its an actual mass of matter you're throwing at the shield, not just a focused beam of energy that get dissipated. Missiles just dont give a fuck because their payload can easily overwhelm shields anyway.

A lot more powerful than base Multiverse's incredibly disappointing Rebel Flagship, but if you get bad rolls you will get mulched because you have practically zero defense. It'd be kinda funny for the pride of an ancient fleet to get punked right out of the starting gate by some level 2 shitter with a couple drones.

Seven rolls later I got absolutely FUCK ALL and couldn't finish off the Troll Queen, now I auto lose because not killing a boss is instant death.

no, called Path of Titans, the gameplay loop is picking sticks and rocks and berries off the ground to do "quests" so you can grow your dino. Then when you're adult you get to go into a barren map with no players, expect for the hotspot that has a discord pack that kills anything.

It's SO FUCKING BAD, makes Citadel look like fine art, I play it only to chase highs of actual gameplay it it but literally 90% of the time is spent walking around looking for a even fight.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/skylessblind/skyless-blind-a-stylized-pixel-art-cosmic-horror-game
This is Skyless Blind, a Yume Nikki-style exploration horror game, though instead of exploring bizarre dreams and nightmares, you're exploring ruined worlds destroyed by cosmic horrors. The artstyle is mainly influenced by other game Hyper Light Drifter. It's already achieved its funding goal of 20,000 USD, but it has stretch goals. Next one is a botany/gardening mechanic, then an archaeology/paleontology mechanic. 16 hours left as of this message. This is the personal project of the developer, Near, but he is also working with the OneShot devs on their next game, Margin of the Strange, as an artist/sound designer.

Omori is what made people create the term "quirky earthbound-like rpg about depression". Omori is also actually the only one that exactly fits that term but I think as the meme propagates, more indie games that are unironically quirky earthbound-like rpgs about depression will be made and thus cause a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I feel you, I have the same issue with The Isle, its such a niche genre but there is literally no real big players (iirc pathbof titans was literally made by peoples who found The Isle dev pace way too slow, notwithstanding how the dude a lolcow with a very petty way of implementing gameplay change to force the playerbase into behaving how he want ingame) except from these 2 games.

Like I kind of want to try path of titans, but it simply look way too arcady in term of gameplay and general mechanics. Especially the quest mechanic which imo is stupid as fuck and a relic from other game genre that dont really fit within a survival game about dinos.

>>531963276
There wouldn't be /indie/ without Lisa.
That's its only redeeming quality.

Something that showed up on Steam as an upcoming game is Clockwork Maiden, a PS1 imitator game that uses a interesting gimmick where the time limit is explained by time literally winding down for the wind-up robot maid protagonist. I can't say the game looks good but I like the gimmick.

God damnit, I just want anything else that work at least somewhat reliably without having to fill every square inch of the enemy ship with undead ghouls. But if I try to do so, I inevitably hit a wall once the enemy reach 4 to 5 shield layers because I dont have any shield piercing. Just wish I could find the modules that do 10 crew dmg per crew death, so necromancer spam become absurdly good.

not that anon, but I disliked the gameplay and found it pretentious.

the whole game seem designed around the "hardcore" difficulty, where you can only use save points once and there is permadeath for party members, its a lot of additional hassle with the only benefit of building a little tension, you can play in a difficulty setting without these features, but then you are still showered in party members who have 0 depth and now serve no purpose whatsoever, because the game was designed with the mentioned "hardcore" features. Combat its also the most barebones turn based combat possible, probably because of that.

its basically a story/lore game with shit gameplay.

I like the Forgotten Races submod for FTL Multiverse, but it's kinda scattered. 1/3 of it is expansions on vanilla, like recruiting Sammy the Spider instead of Ellie or remembering and recruiting Leah, 1/3 is the obelisks-but-DRONES Commonwealth that's a harder detour off the True End, and 1/3 is driving through literal hell gunning down ghosts and necromancers in a boss rush.

How is it even possible to lose in DF once you get a fort going? The only difficulty lies in getting started with the UX jank and equally unconventional game mechanics.

>>532043868
I just can't get a farm going because I utterly hate the "mine a room above it and dump water down the hole and also do NOT eat the plums or you lose the seeds" system.

>>532043295
Assuming the ground is appropriate, I'm usually able to just dig out enough room for two farmers to work and then I forget about farming as my entire fortress eats nothing but plump helmets until the end of time.
It's rather easily automated and hands off.

You can tell your dwarfs to not eat the seeds of the crops, consuming the plump helmet does not eat the seeds.

>>532044610
>You can tell your dwarfs to not eat the seeds of the crops, consuming the plump helmet does not eat the seeds.
Wait so what destroy the seeds? Brewing them?

>>532044880
Seeds are separated from crop plants and placed into storage whenever the crop plant is brewed or milled or eaten.
The most common beginner mistake that results in seed destruction is not instructing the chefs to avoid using seeds to prepare meals. Your chefs consider seeds a suitable ingredient by default if I recall correctly.

90% of workplaces would improve 1000 x over if other coworkers just stfu and got on with the job without bitching about everything.

>>532049680
I disagree. It sucks being forced to do things you don't want all day, deal with other people problems when you could be taking care of your own. Some jobs require you to do the same things, over and over again, or stay all day on the same position (sitting or standing up), sometimes put you in a ugly place with only artificial lights, constant pressure from bosses or just quotas and shit corpo. rules.

I have been working for almost 15 years now, no matter how "good" a job looks, its impossible to not get fed up with it eventually.

>>532050831
Yes.

>>532051957
Prepared meals improve the mood of your dwarfs depending on the complexity of the meal. You often end up with a lot more seeds than necessary so they're a good ingredient at that point.

medic!

>>532052218
Hyperspace is a hardcode extension framework, not a playable mod. Kinda like SKSE, if you play Skyrim.
Multiverse is a BIG motherfucker. There's really too much to go over. It changes pretty much everything except the baseline game mechanics. Tons more weapons and enemies, 6 separate endings, literally hundreds of playable ships, godslaying, a good selection of submods, and too many god damn events. Going by raw file size, it's almost 3x bigger than vanilla.
Arsenal I haven't played, but it's another (though less all-encompassing) chonky overhaul that smells like slavjank (affectionate). Probably worth giving a whirl at some point.

>Complete a voidwar with a ship I heavily dislike

God damnit it. I definitely do not want to do another run, especially right afterward. Like the ship itself isnt bad, but the systems present from the start make it so magic the only viable option, and this is starting to get kind of repetitive as I always end up gettings necromancers. They're just too good for their price to pass up, I mean 30 scrap for an infinite source of fodder? On a reasonable 20 sec cooldown? Sign me the fuck up. Its so easy to abuse its not even funny anymore, and since health upgrade modules are relatively frequent, you can easily crew kill most ships from early to mid game, and even late game.

Anvil should be the third thing you make after the pickaxe, hammer and prospecting pick.
Also that falx was a waste of copper. making three stone spears for throwing is better at least until you start spelunking deep.
Also also do you have class specific recipes unlocked? That's only good locked for multiplayer where you can trade with others. The blackguard has a sword that's better than every tier falx, but that's made of iron.

Putting normal settings into accessibility category is such Twitter-esque thing to do. Throw enough buzzwords to get the brownie points.

>>532112685
>"no fun allowed" guys
I'd say it's the exact opposite. Changing the difficulty allows more people to have fun with the game. It's fine as long as it's optional and the whole game isn't just dumbed down from the start.
Also you mean difficulty setting. Accessibility settings are shit like changing the hud for colorblind people. Which is also the opposite of no fun allowed

>>532115712
No, I mean Accessibility settings, which are separate from the difficulty slider. "No dying" mode, infinite mana, etc. Seems like they're implying "you are disabled if you want to have fun with godmode".
Also there used to be fun cheats like spawn a clown car or something, or even debug-like cheats that let you go out of bounds. All gone.

>>532116192
What game are you talking about? I haven't seen it before.

I wanna get into Rainworld. Can someone tell me a little about it?
All I know is that it's difficult, has environment simulation and a physics based movement system with lots of tech to learn and that you're playing this little white dude and there is a timer in which you have to find enough food and a shelter to survive until the next cycle.
So other than that, what is the core loop like? You explore the world to find efficient paths between points of interest until you find enough points of interest to progress the game?
What's the mindset required for the game? I'm the type of person who will autistically try to refill al my bars in a survival game as soon as they drop below 97% but I assume in this game it will probably kill all the fun if I focus on topping up my food meter every time before daring an inch outside of my comfort zone, right?

>>532044560
Exactly, obviously I need money to live and afford my hobbies and having some sort of routine is probably a good thing, but I just can't stand my company and many of the people there.
I think part of it is some of the mental quirks I have that I'm seeing a therapist about, but either way, I wish I would have a workplace, where I enjoy or at least don't detest showing up each day.
>>532050414
>>532049680
For me it's the fact that it feels like (almost) nobody in my team knows what the fuck they are doing and it's all just a bunch of bullshitting for the higher ups who are then bullshitting to their higher ups ad infinitum.
And especially as the "new guy" it just bothers me so much that I rarely get clear instructions what I'm supposed to do or have anyone who seems to know what they are doing so I could at least learn from them. Not to mention I don't really believe our project will ever have the success it promises because of big systematic issues so I don't even feel motivated by being part of making something cool, my sole motivation is ticking off boxes on a poorly defined todo list so I don't get in trouble with my boss and that shit sucks.

I'm being honest, experiencing this kind of shit myself really made me understand how there are so many overpromise underdeliver games out there where you wonder how it could be humanly possible to fuck up this bad. Well if our team was ever tasked to make a video game, I think this is exactly what would happen.

>>532105027
>that falx was a waste of copper
Maybe but I like falxes. And also I settled in an area full of rifts, so there are a lot of drifters.

>>532049493
Yep, hence I'm very careful with it. It's a bit of a slippery slope.
For me it's similar with piracy. I know if I'm not careful and start pirating games left and right on a whim, I'll just end up doing that with every single game. And morals and supporting devs aside I think that will just diminish my appreciation and attention span for games, if I know I can get any game in the world I want and all that I have to give up is 1-2h of my day for the download.

>>532121134
>Can someone tell me a little about it?
Is that you shouldn't read anything anybody tells you about it. Go in absolutely, completely blind and expect nothing and put aside your videogame conditioning. The game is so unique that even trying to explain what you're going to do is a minor spoiler.

Where do I have to go to discuss Dead Cells? Every time I try in here, people tell me they think it's mid.

I'm looking to get a device to play a few games portably, mostly Slay the Spire (2) and Balatro, and maybe some spirelikes like LBoL but mostly those two. Since these games are pretty touchscreen focused and don't need physical joysticks and buttons to play, what device would best suit my needs? I read that you can't run Steam on Android tablets. When I'm looking for Windows tablets they're almost all fuckhueg 10+ inches and I can't exactly fit that in my cargo shorts. Should I just get the cheapest steamdeck? Feels crazy to spend $400 to play $35 worth of games.

Difficulty is not a problem, especially after the patches. The problem is a lack of QoL features:
1) No Quest book. You have to remember everything yourself. No Quest markers, either.
2) Quick Travel is a limited one-time-use achievement-based thing, so you'll likely never use it in practicality. The next vest thing, GPS, does not exist. Map exist, but is shattered across dozens of levels, and which way is navigable is not obvious, especially considering you can create new permanent paths via spears.
3) Lack of inventory. The game expects you to lug tons and tons of different items across the map, while having only one invisible inventory slot: your stomach (there's also your offhand, but you drop items on every sneeze, don't expect to keep it). So if you want to complete a quest that expects you to give six items to a character, expect going three-six times across the entire world back-and-forth.
1 and 2 are seemingly "solved" by Overseer, but don't be fooled, the thing becomes dead weight after the Five Pebbles and does not do anything beyond finding food or predators.
P.S. The "DLC" is just a fan mod that's been made official. Basically a fanfic from the lore standpoint.

Circadian Dice last normal scenario final boss.
Holy shit nigga's got a disgustingly strong list of mutations, I'm not absolutely 100% confident I can win, but I am pretty up there myself so maybe 80% sure.
I will note though, while the music before now has been forgettable to the point where there was one point where I thought the music was off as I'd mentally tuned it out as static background noise, I'm actually enjoying this final theme quite a lot. It's like the Tower of Sorcery track from Castlevania 64 only with added piano and Latin chanting. It's not like a super banger or anything, but it does slap a bit and I think I wanna go try and find it to download it for later listening.

There is a ton of systems, but neither of them exists to account for you specifically. Game world is indifferent to you, and much of the interactions will happen off-screen, while the things you will interact with are going to be opaque, requiring learning by observation.

Never seen that because I don't play cancerous shite created by the mentally ill.

But it's funny.
First the snowflake crowd pretends to be offended by fun difficulty settings like baby mode because it demeans people.

Depending on your needs you can just use a remote desktop app on your phone/tablet and use a bluetooth controller or wire adapter.

Its basically the same crowd as the witch burning mobs of yesteryear, just with a different coat of paint. Same fanatism and same crass ignorance peddled as altruistic tolerance (and in turn, hypocritical intolerance to anything percieved as antagonistic to their moral view).

Legit almost got an aneurysm trying to argue with such a person the other time, its like every discussion is a race to nitpick the first thing in what you said to get offended at so they can shut you up (which very often derail the arguing to onesided shit flinging), and if you try to explain anything with how they're blatantly misinterpreting or misunderstanding your words, they just double down and get more unhinged and angry. Its a surreal experience to say the least. Like its as if the first thing they cited to start shit with me was just for convenience, not because they had any genuine desire to right a percieved wrong. The actual situation was even more ludicrous when you know what I was talking about, but I dont want to derail the thread into /pol/ with that info, not that what I want to say is even offensive mind you.

What are your opinions on single-player indie games censoring user text input? Not allowing naming your character certain way, or any other case where user text is used.

>>532140075
You don't seem to understand my position.
Concerns like that are not even a part of my world.
I'm so far removed from that sort of insanity that I wouldn't even know it exists if you weren't asking.

I'm more concerned about games/websites/any other high level lang programs not sanitizing/escaping user input strings correctly.
For exactly recently I played a game that would crash if I tried to rename a thing to [thing] to make it stand out in lists. Probably interpreted it as an array due to the square brackets. Competency crisis is real, somehow only millennials ever grew to know how to use ibm-pc compatible computers.

>>532142001
Mario have arbitrary code execution vulnerability based on controller input
GTA SA have arbitrary code execution vulnerability for *.scm mission files
The list goes on

>>532142408
Your point is? The Apollo AGC code had bugs as well.
That's nifty trivia and all, but I don't see what it has to do with modern devs barely even knowing what a data type is and constantly fucking up basic stuff like input string sanitization.
These are everyday real world issues. Not a harmless gimmick from a retro game that took a dedicated fan community ages discover.

What's changed in the final update? Worth playing now?

twins beat my ass in terraria
expected that titanium repeater to chunk more damage than that

>>532158228
I haven't played Terraria in like more like half a decade. But last time I played gunners were very underbuffed compared with magic and melee.

>>532156624
AI is improved (alert enemies now actively dodge props, agressive species are even more agressive but not suicidal), a lot of guns are rebalanced (magnum is not useless now, SMGs are more distinct and certain heavy weapons hit harder) a lot more playable species and 6 new levels. imo it was worth playing even before this update
also, god i miss infighting in modern shooters

>>532159019
Pre-hardmode and post-plantera ranger is really strong, but early hardmode is kinda meh. You have to grind for good guns, like onyx blaster > megashark post-destroyer

>>532161473
I still don't know how I finished Terraria. I guess playing with a fren(that is now ded) was what kept me on.
These days I look at it with it's post hardcore myriad of bosses and new stuff and I feel just lazy. Even tried with the Catasomething mod and Titanium or something else mod but the early game really filtered me.
That and I prefer how the interface of Starbound works, and it has also spoiled me from going back to Terraria. 344 hours according to Steam. And it seems it was last year when I tried modded Terraria.

Damn, when I on a whim decided I wanted to 100% Webfishing for shits and giggles, I didn't think it would take THAT long. The rain exclusive fishes are probably the biggest pain in the ass

Can relate to your struggle too, never had a case this extreme, but I remember plenty of times, when I looked up games on YouTube where someone with my rig played it and it looked fine, and then I get it myself and it looks ass. Sometimes it's the video compression hiding how bad it looks, sometimes it's me choosing the wrong combinations of settings and sometimes I just don't really care enough to find out.

been pretty dead ever since the scavshitter pushed even more regulars away from the general

is for the king 2 that bad? ive been wanting go back and do some runs but cant decide between just playing 1 or getting 2

I don't like digital card games. I don't trust the RNG to not be weighted to fuck you over.

>>532207803
If they're gacha games or anything with any kind of online component/microtransactions, sure. But when they're games where high skilled players can beat the hardest possible difficulty over 50% of the time, im inclined to believe it's balanced

What other stuff is out there with this level of autismal build crafting/exploration? Just sank 100 hours into this and it's great.

>>532210746
>games where high skilled players can beat the hardest possible difficulty over 50% of the time
Yeah no that just means it's complete RNG garbage.
Properly balanced roguelikes tend to have verified winstreak records in the high tens or low hundreds from highly skilled players. That doesn't happen with a coinflip chance per run. Top winrates for skill-based games are closer to 90%. And players who count as "highly skilled" for card game kusoge often complain that real roguelikes are too hard, in my admittedly limited and anecdotal experience.

>>532207803
I understand your pain, RNGesus seem to despise me most of the time, it aint rare I miss 70% chance to hit 4 times in a row aka 0.81% chance of happening, if not more.

Been playing a lot of voidwar lately and it just keep reminding me of my bad luck, notwithstanding how I have shit kuck in every game I cant planify the shit out of everything.

>>532211901

if I internalize "advanced racist theory" in disco elysium, will other character treat me as racist or does it just mean that I understand the theory? I just want to get past the damn gat.

>>532234357
You become a racist

>>532234357
Little bit of both.

>>532188581
you remember how people thought for the king 1 was a kingdom management game, when in fact it was a linear story telling game? and complained

the devs saw that people didn't like linear story telling so they removed it from king 2

not replaced it with anything mind. so now you've got a non-kingdom management game that doesn't have a story

>>532164423
is it fun?

>>532234357
My memory is hazy, but I think there explicitly is a line of dialogue to Kim about how you're just pretending to be racist to get past the guy

>>532238402
Please don't be racist for real. That'd hurt Kim.
And Kim is the best right-hand man ever.

>>532238787
Kim is one of the reason I might not be able to do a second playthrough with different character aspirations.
I've tried several times. I really would like to play a high Inland Empire/Electrochemistry weirdo maybe with some fascism thrown in there, but I just can't bring myself to disappoint Kim. It's crazy how dear that character is to my heart.

>>532237116
Depends. There's not a lot in terms of gameplay to be honest. It's fun with friends, but mostly just to hang out and goof around while chatting.
It's more of a timekiller game than anything else

Yes, and it's usually better to just use the level ups for more slots.

>>532254614
>>532254694
Alright, I'm looking at the gameplay and it looks interesting

>>532254550
You should not play Battle Brothers. I'm the only sane one.

>>532217454
Did I say I did? I'm just saying if a game is capable of being won the majority of the time, then it can't be rigged. If someone with over 1k hrs still only managed a very low win rate then yeah the RNG might be stacked, or the game is at the very least poorly balanced. I'm just saying it's foolish to say the devs have deliberately tweaked the RNG when players have proven that's not the case.
Conversely if a game has a 90% winrate then it might just be too easy. Even the best of the best players of any game will make mistakes and lose runs as a result. When you NEVER lose then that's also a problem.

>>532254550
It's really good. One of my favorite games of all time. Actually, I should replay it.

>>532255505
Do you think Portal is a good or bad game and what do you think its "winrate" is?

>>532139006
Technically yes but in practice different people want different things, some wanna expand on the survival and low tech stuff which is what Vintage Story is doing, others wanna see number go big while the factory is churning out the next, even bigger number, but don't like how Factorio is so deliciously flat, so they go for industrial mods for minecraft.

>>532254948
>Oh fuck, didn't mention if someone can compare it to Wartales
Wartales has a lot of gameplay gimmicks (dungeon exploration, minigames, that kind of stuff) and benefits from a handmade world, but it's more sluggish in its exploration and combat
Also there's no RNG in Wartales, while BB can be a fucking casino.

tried out gecko gods demo posted here few threads back
although you can really notice the lack of polish and resources, i think it's quite good at what it tried to be - a relaxing platformer about exploring beautiful enviroments

>>532211901
"Over 50%" does include 90%, dummy.

>>532234357
On a meta level, I don't think it actually changes anything other than Measurehead letting you open the door.
On a narrative level, you tell Kim you're just pretending, but internalizing a thought is supposed to represent not only understanding, but incorporating those values for yourself.

Also, there's multiple ways to get into the harbor, becoming racist isn't the only option.

>>532256046
Yesssss I was the Anon who posted about it a few threads back! Ceiling camera is jank and the lack of saving is a bummer, but my god, being able to climb any surface is amazing. Much better then some platformers where you can spend an hour on a autisticly hard jump section trying to get a collectable.

Played The Big Catch demo around the same time and felt disappointed and frustrated for that reason, throwing shit at the wall hoping it sticks, not making any progress. Gecko God's wasn't frustrating at all.

>>532257584
might be the opposite for me lol
i get what it's going for and no surface restrictions is cool, but it's too easy. might launch it on occasion for an hour tops
if a game isn't anally punishing me for every mistake and if first XX hours don't make me look like a blind cripple who is trying to make his way through nuclear sarcophagus i lose interest very quickly

thoughts on barony? i might pick it up to play with a friend

>>532262064
I dont really remember much of it, but its the only one ive actually finished for some reason. I havent tried 1 or 6 yet.

>>532262064
I don't think I've ever finished it. I think the story is neat in terms of being a little like Lord of the Flies, where it deconstructs some common power fantasies and explored what it would actually be like for a regular dude to become a video game hero in an open world sandbox, where the player can do any number of messed up shit.
I don't remember if it succeeds at it but the idea is cool.
Also it was different enough from Far Cry 2 to be very unique, wheras to my understanding all subsequent games are still just Far Cry 3 at their core.
I remember mainly being annoyed by the arbitrary crafting shenanigans, like needing specific pelts of specific animals just to be able to carry more weapons and also after a while the whole place just blended together and every corner of the jungle looked like every other corner of the jungle and I just lost interest.

>>532262064
Why the fuck is everyone bringing up Far Cry this week

>>532262064
It was kinda average, like its a run of the mill open map fps, which were a dime a dozen back when it came out. And yeah the story was pretty bad, and it make the MC look like an hypocritical chucklefuck ,the only good aspect is how you can get a secret ending from the very start just by waiting for your half brother to come back, which is unironically the better and far more reasonable ending.

The only real neat part of farcry games were the map makers, but god I hated the size limitations.

>>532262132
Looks cozy but I'm always bothered by these kinds of games having to be set in modern day instead of some fantasy world. I guess it's supposed to serve as an escapist fantasy, but for me that just kills the mood a little.
Same with Stardew Valley, if it took place in generic fantasy land I would probably like that more.

It was much better managed 20 years ago but what wasn't.

>>532264885
Lol I think you're right, havent played in ages so I mixed then up. 3rd one is the "muh curazy" dude, not the dictator.

>And yeah the story was pretty bad, and it make the MC look like an hypocritical chucklefuck
I didn't get it back when I played it as a teen, but in retrospect I think it was on purpose (see >>532264059) though I don't remember the story nearly enough to say for sure.
>,the only good aspect is how you can get a secret ending from the very start just by waiting for your half brother to come back, which is unironically the better and far more reasonable ending
Wait really? That's neat. I though only Far Cry 4 had one of those, but I never actually played it.
Though speaking of the brother, I remember always being upset about how he dies in the tutorial, because they decide to sit down and talk right next to the camp instead just walking a few more paces into the jungle.
I even went back to look it up to double check if it's as bad as I remember and holy shit, it is https://youtu.be/XZbjJJsN3tY&t=561
Maybe they didn't want to get lost in the jungle or something, but man that's silly

>>532265316
Wikipedia has basically become a cesspit of disinfo over the years, especially anything related to politics, like the bias and disingenuous misquotations to push narratives abound like nothing else, and 99% of quoted sources dont even fucking say the quoted thing.

Ie Epstein wiki page was an absolute clusterfuck back when the scandal was still fresh. The autistic rules lawyers and the damage control shills flinging shit at each others like blood n crisp on a gettho curb.

>>532264852
>Thinking about how there are actually people out there, who would post something like this unironically is honestly kinda funny
Not anybody who's been involved in this convo, but it's a valid concern. Either this is some part of northern Africa, certain parts of London, or it's a DEI game where the dev cares more about skin colour than making a good game.

>>532265259
>and unless there's an established in-world reason why it is the way it is
Dunno man, sounds to me like you're too much of a coward to admit that you just don't like having black people in your media. Especially since we're talking about a purely fictional place that probably has minimal worldbuilding.
If I had to go out on a limb I'd even take a wild guess that you wouldn't be upset or notice, if media had an unnatural over-representation of white people :)

>>532266703
>where the dev cares more about skin colour than making a good game
Buddy, we've had this talk before (or you have the same shit talking points as the other guy) but the two aren't mutually exclusive and it's intellectually dishonest to pretend like they are. Though I wouldn't want to shit up the thread any more over this.

>>532265959
That's probably true from the viewpoint you're presenting, but it is not true at all in the bigger picture.

>related to politics
>cesspit of disinfo
>bias and disingenuous misquotations to push narratives
>Epstein wiki page was an absolute clusterfuck
That's what american politics and news are like. Wikipedians interested in that subject necessarily reflect that state, and they have to use sources reporting on that subject. You're barking up the wrong tree.

>>532258837
It's an action adaptation of nethack. Multiplayer is very fun, the game is good and definitively worth the price on sale. It's relatively hard and stiff but feels good to play.

you people are always like this, claiming to be leaders of rationality (it's fine when people are of all colors of rainbow because creative freedom!) but then resorting to lowly emotionally driven "arguments" (you're a bigot and a bad person for not liking it!) when their points fail. i am not going to engage with you because you've provided no solid foundation on why that particular fictional world is it is the way it is. artistic vision? lore-justified cataclysm? geographical location?

Nha pick literally any articles about anything, and go check the sources, more often than not the cited source simply do not state anything remotely similar to what is claimed in the wiki article.

Ie article state X individual said Y thing, quote a source article, but if you check the quoted source article, it itself do not claim origin of quote and is merely requoting another source, and the further down you go along the rabbithole, greater become the discrepancy between the true original quote and the wiki supposed "quotation" of said quote. And there is barely any curation or verifications of stated claims in articles.

One of the most egregious exemple I can say I seen of my own two eyes was some article stating some X politician had stated a very scandalous thing and talking of it as if it was undeniable facts by providing a butchered quotation, but searching the actual full quote took 6 articles quoting one another back to back before I found the original source, and guess what it was? A freaking university journal ,student edited aka no real oversight, article which stated that the politician was claimed to have said the scandalous thing in question, and that their own source was an anonymous tipper. So literally the most untrustworthy of sources, a literal "some dude said so", quoted as factual truth down the road.

Its like a game of telephone where every member of the line knowingly change the sentence when talking to each others and try to gaslight the last in line (aka you the article reader) into thinking the sentence was unchanged and that thinking otherwise is simply ludicrous.

>>532270481
I don't know if you noticed, but you're again complaining about american politics and news.

>>532270989
While I cant deny its rampant when it come to politics, its not the only type of subjects rife with misquotations. The only type of articles that seem unaffected by this trend are subjects either too eldritch to be misquotable (ie maths, some scientific subjects, animal species info, etc ) or things no one could care to obfuscate info about (ie random city in france article).

But anyway ill stop talking about it, its not indie gaems.

>>532272335
>or things no one could care to obfuscate info about (ie random city in france article).
I do actually remember watching a video were someone was going around vandalizing 100+ year old French election pages, like how fucking autistic and petty do you have to be to stoop to fuck with that kind of stuff?

>>532267036
>but the two aren't mutually exclusive
They very much are. There is no retard on the face of this planet who gives a shit about ticking every single diversity checkbox who is also both capable and willing to make a good game, partly because they've frittered away all their time and attention on things that don't matter and the dev's energy is not an infinite resource, and partly because the things that make a good game like actually funny humour, cute girls, an artstyle that doesn't look like it comes out of reddit and is trying to be an inoffensive and soulless as humanly possible and whatever else are diametrically opposed concepts.
To be a good game despite the imposed negatives it would have to be quite literally groundbreaking in terms of the core gameplay, and I doubt it is.

>>532272335
You seem very sensible for a /pol/ obsessed burger so let me try to get this thing into your head before dropping the subject.

It is not rampant when it comes to politics. It is rampant when it comes to AMERICAN politics. Specifically on english language wikipedia.
For example russian and chinese language wikipedias also have their own different issues that reflect the politics and society of Russia and China.
There are countless wikipedias that do not have this issue at all. You are talking about a 100% societal-political issue, one which mainly affects a tiny subset of articles on *one* wikipedia that is a small fraction all content across all wikipedias. The world does not revolve around your burgerpol obsession. Your politics and news are shit, wikipedia simply reflects that fact. And, naturally, documenting current events is a completely different ballgame than documenting encyclopediac knowledge.

Do try to understand that wikipedia is not a reliable scientific process that pursues truth, it merely summarizes what is written in other sources to make that information more easily accessible. This means divisive subjects covered by shitty media are going to reflect those problems. Wikipedia documents reality as it is, changing or fixing reality to get better sources is not its business.
Ideally, editors would be inhumanly perfect without biases. But the fact is editors interested in any given subject will always reflect the characteristics of that subject to some degree.
That said Wikipedia's neutrality is insanely good when you consider what it is: An open UGC website anyone can shit on without even logging in. Literally lower barrier of entry than 4chan, there isn't even a captcha.

>>532275401
lol, lmao

>>531615448 (OP)
I've noticed that game on the right recently, how is it?

>>532258837
Fun game, has a surprising level of depth considering how it looks. Learning the game at the start can be rough, I recommend picking a basic melee class like warrior or barbarian and learning how to fight in melee using block. Also you might want to disable random oneshot boulders in the game settings, those can be really infuriating if you have -1 perception in real life.

>>532265259
>nta but this skin color distrubution is unnatural unless the game happens somewhere in a country like egypt
Okay that actually got me curious though. In the screenshot anon was replying to >>532262132, there are 5 characters with light skin and 3 characters with dark skin.
Different sites have different stats, but apparently about 14% of all US-citizens are African American (I'm going to be favorable towards you and assume all of those 3 are in fact African Americans and not Hispanics) so the expected value would be 1.12.
So let's say the null hypothesis is that in this fictional world the percentage of African Americans is also 14%, the alternative hypothesis is that it's greater than 14%
The binomial probability of getting exactly or more than 3 African Americans if the null hypothesis were true is .089
That is higher than the common significance level of .05 therefore there is no grounds to reject the null hypothesis based on this image so there is nothing unnatural about the color distribution based on that image, except maybe the lack of Hispanics and Asians but I'm too lazy to calculate that.

>>532288320
>If you combine both sets of data, what then?
Dunno, go check yourself, probably then the null hypothesis might no longer hold, but that would be irrelevant to the point I was trying to make about how anon decided based on feelings over facts that >>532262132 looks like an unreasonable amount of blacks when in fact it is not.

>>532289082
If there's more than one or two blacks on screen in a small gathering in a game like that for no good reason, it very reasonably follows that a notable chunk of the entire game are also black. You don't add that many unless you have an agenda or you need somebody to rob the place.

It doesn't look like it at all. It looks like an idyllic european fantasy town. Roughly 1970s-inspired, based on the cars and other technological artifacts.

>>532290247
More than zero in a game, unless there's good reason for it, is an unreasonable amount of blacks, not "whatever arbitrary percentage I shit out of my ass".

>Just lost a voidwar run that was doing absurdly well because I teleported on an enemy ship with my commander and his 25% chance to damage foes triggered, killing multiples foes at once which caused the enemy ship hull to shit itself instantly because I overestimated how much health it had left

I've decided BallisticNG is one of my favorite games, but I'm terminally terrible at it and hardly play it any more. The game is just aesthetically beautiful, the techno soundtrack is awesome, and driving in it feels so fun. It even has a niche cyberpunk feel that not really any other media captures. Is it cringe/ poserish to feel this way?

>>532299807
>I suspect it's because it wasn't up to wikipedia's standard.
Sounds like you already know the reason.
The edit that reverted your writing linked to WP:STYLE, the style guide.

ok i killed the golem in terraria

apparently i can get a better one by killing an optional boss so i suppose i'll do that next

Terraria was released with 3 bosses, 6 npcs and the best weapon was the fire sword or the muramasa, there was no night's edge. The endgame was the dungeon.
Red is a perfectionist. He did not like that fact that there was no proper end. So he added stuff, the night's edge to have a final super item (it was so special because you had to go to an altar in the corruption to make it), king slime to have a midgame boss and the clothier. He still wasn't satisfied so he decided to make a new thing, hardmode. You needed to go to hell and sacrifice the (completely useless at the time) guide to unlock new biomes, new enemies and finally proper "super bosses" (yes they were considered super bosses at the time) with your rewards being wings (there was only 2 sets of wings, angel and demon), hallowed armor, excalibur and DRAX, the first and only drill and best digging tool in the game, there was no pickaxe version, it was the drill and only the drill. All of these required the bosses souls at the time and they were the rewards.
But then he felt like there wasn't enough content so he added plantera and the golem and that is the end of it... But actually it would be really fun to have a proper super boss wouldn't it? Let's make duke fishron (it was original an april fool's joke).
But actually it still doesn't feel like a proper ending... So let's add a proper final boss. I skipped over a ton of stuff but that's basically the whole idea behind terraria's development. Red can't stop himself, re-logic is now a proper team with only 1 game. And of course, they're all perfectionist like Red. 1.4 (journey's end) was the final update, but feature creep made 1.4.4 the final, final update (maybe?) but actually no there is another update, 1.4.5 will be the final, final final update (until 1.4.6 at least).

Hogwash, they had a showcase at some expo earlier this year, wouldn't be surprised if we see it Nov or Dec even.

Though, I'm worried about the final game, the demo was so-so for me, a lot of throwing shit at the wall and hoping it stuck, wall running made you drop like a rock too. Was overall fun, but I def got pretty frustrated at times. Hate games where you can spend an hour doing nothing and make zero progress, feels like a waste.

Though, I'm far more excited for Gecko Gods, posted about it a few threads back during the next fest, another Anon caught on. Demo isn't available anymore but please check it out too.

>>532330695
>also there's corruption in the stone deep under my base but clearing it seems incredibly annoying so i guess that's a problem for future me
From what I remember if you dig a mote/tunnel that is 6 blocks across (better double check that) corruption won't be able to cross. If there is an area you want to keep corruption free, I recommend isolating it like that
From what I recall that shit can spread surprisingly fast, or maybe I just remember it that way since out server was running almost 24/7

>>532311635
And you're the only one ascribing political motivation to deciding that your game shouldn't exclusively feature white people

>>532040592
Absolutely love the way this game looks and sounds but get completely filtered by how it plays. Almost feels like a rhythm game where you have to memorize a sequence of inputs which have no relation to what you are seeing on screen. The vehicles seem too floaty and needing to angle up/down to avoid hitting the floor is a pain because there is basically no feedback.
>>532330695
>>532360013
Don't worry about it. The spread is not that fast and gets way slower after defeating Plantera. It's easier just to go through the endgame, get the top equipment, and purify the world after. There is a tool for it which sprays a purifying solution through blocks.
>boot up game to get a screenshot for the thread
>have a high effort build-world where every NPC has their own large themed base in a different biome
>saves are all gone, no idea when it happened
Damn.
>>532334998
The eternal problem is that the game never tapers off. At the end you breeze through 3 bosses and as many new sets of equipment in the same time it takes to go from gold to demonize in the early game. And then it just suddenly stops when there is nothing left. Of course the end feels unsatisfying and they need to add more, the game is like a constantly accelerating train which runs out of track and abruptly stops. At some point they should have stopped extending the track but added more turns and slopes to limit the endgame pacing.

>>532361994
>Absolutely love the way this game looks and sounds but get completely filtered by how it plays.
That's wipeout for you. Casuals need not apply.
>Almost feels like a rhythm game where you have to memorize a sequence of inputs which have no relation to what you are seeing on screen.
/vm/ weekend lobbies run random workshop maps, and pack composition stays consistent from race to race. You just need to learn your ship to the point where thinking about what to press is second nature and focus entirely on the turns and hills.

>>532361697
I played some Rune Factory, it wasn't so detailed.
>>532361994
Yeah, that's the pain with Ballistic NG. There's also the fact that I feel like the vehicles turns more and more the longer to hold the arrow key.
But when it clicks, it looks awesome.

Conflict: Global Terror. Last (that wierd Xbox 360 reboot doesn't count) of a surprisingly neat early '00s squad-tactics shooter. The first game, Conflict: Desert Storm is very cheap on steam and is absolutely worth playing if you like old games.

>saves are all gone
shit man, that's rough. I recently wondered, if any of my Minecraft saves from back when I played it in Beta 1.6 are still around. I barely remember any of my builds, would love to take a look.
I wanted to check on our old Terraria world and looks like it crashed the game. Though I remember it being a lovely mess, full of signs with 10 year old in jokes and the main base being in a graveyard minibiome because we left lots of gravestones around for shits and giggles and that biome didn't exist at the time

Something random is the solo dev of RogueStone and the cancelled RogueStone 2 has announced they are puling all of their stuff from Steam with the explanation "No info on why. I have my reasons".

This one is the latest entry in the series and was made by a much bigger and more experienced team. For some reason marvelous decided to put their main team on a spin off of rune factory instead of any of their much bigger franchises. Hakama is currently working on rf6.

>>532370381
Oooh, okay.

Decided to give this another shot thanks to the recent slugposting.
Made it to what so far looks like the top layer of the outskirts. My little yellow buddy tried to communicate with me not sure what he wants, but looks like he tries to tell me to go west.
Got killed by hybris though, found a new shelter, but still had a little time left and thought there's no harm to just going one area further to know what's there and walked right into a mimic pole like an idiot. Those things are fucking rough, I've always managed to avoid them in the past and figured they aren't that bad, since they're so obvious...

>>532361697
I remember that scene. That was brutal and pretty dark.

>>532371140
I hate mimics. Total mimic death.

>>532364321
Huh, look neat. Is it an actual game or its one of the AI fake mobile game kinda slop? Kind of wish it aint, it look nice as hell.

>>532371412
It wasn't brutal and dark iirc. It was just a usual animism speech about thanking hunted beasts for providing humans with sustenance and how everything, including them, eventually returns to mother nature. It was a standard hunter trope except for that part where she says that monsters come and go from monster heaven.

>>532383484
The implication that the earth dancer was mercilessly killing everything they see, the implication that dead monsters leave a corpse. That's dark.

Turns out the game is really easy when you have 4x storm and all the good focus cards

Also StS 2 fucking when?

Is Kenshi good or is it one of those unfinished buggy messes with lots of potential that never got anywhere?

>>532387797
It's a good unfinished buggy mess that never goes anywhere (without mods). Worth trying out for the unforgiving experience imo.

>>532387797
Its indies jank, but it as actual SOVL and its genuinely fun when you're getting your shit together and not being the one to bite the curb at the end of the day.

Nah for some strange reason I actually have this weird fascination with mimics. I love them as a concept, no matter the game

>>532391363
That creature is too small to fit its entire tongue in the mouth.

>>532391845
Fair enough, though maybe it doesn't have to, it just needs to being the part that a person is on close enough to its mouth to snap at it, right?

>>532391363
>>532392257
I kinda wish they had done this now. The sen's funhouse mimic scarred me into attacking every chest every time, even when I know 100% for sure that a chest is safe given that I've been through dozens of times.
But I'll still give it a whack. Just in case, you know?

Another racing vidya joins the thread, name?

this game looks cool
anyone played kingsway? worth trying?

I've made a thread about Darkest Dungeon on /v/ but it died instastly, do Ill ask here

Ive started playing it recently and I wanted to play it blind, as I usually do, meaning no googling shit. Later on I saw a thread about xd on /v/ and someone mentioned that antiquarian is good for getting more stuff out of the mission. Do Ive checked her out and yeah, you sacrifice a character slot for the ability to craft a trinket during rest. I didnt think thats worth it honestly and just moved on, but I kept on thinking as to why someone would value that. Later on I saw that 1 class has a shit ability and wanted to check the wiki if the ability gets better with higher levels. I stumbled on a page with characters, and checked the part with Antiquarian out of curiosity. And apparently this character makes it so you can stack more gold per slot.

Am I blind or is that not stated anywhere in the game? And then,if it isn't, are you just supposed to google shit while playing it like in terraria and minecraft? I could just check which curio does what and which items to use on them but wouldnt that destroy the fun?

>>532398332
it's probably not listed anywhere in game, same with her ability to find extra shit from curios, but in principle you'd notice it as soon as you did a run with her

>>532398580
The thing is, Id never sacrifice a slot for her with those shit abilities if I havent read about her just now. But with that out of the way, would you recommend playing blind with the curios or is it not worth to bother? From my experimentation I see there is at least 1 that cures a negative quirp which is very strong

>>532395752
Me too man.
At some point I learned about the chain being different on mimics, but later decided the more fun way to notice them is to watch to see if the chest opens up to breathe sometime.
I loved how in Dark 3 the very first chest you come across is a mimic and I felt so smug when I checked before opening it.
Also remember Dark Souls 2 had a guy pretending to be a door and that one forest with the translucent enemies who I took for player ghosts at first, that was great too.
The only other example I can think of was Fallout 4's Far Harbor DLC having one anglerfish-esque enemy who hid underground and pretended to be a harvestable plant and a huge hermit crab who lived in a wrecked car, though the latter was spoiled for me, when I wanted to lock on to an enemy and the game locked onto a "car" and displayed "hermit crab" on the health bar

>>532387797
Honestly I had a lukewarm opinion on Kenshi by the time I was done my second playthrough, as I had to force myself near the end to finish. When playing as a squad, everything feels so needlessly grindy without much payoff. Grind for days in a JRPG and you'll be rewarded with being able to take on the superboss, but in Kenshi, you'll be able to destroy the main factions with your squad, but after that, there's no ending or anything major other then faction patrols avd city shops changing. Had to increase XP gain and even cheat in some levels through the games mod editor, needs a lot of tweaking to not feel sluggish.

It's not terrible mind you, and I'll be buying Kenshi 2, but my god, squad play is so slow. Solo is better, though, good luck making a base with one dude, maybe duo would work.

Can't believe I died tot he same mimic again, I think my biggest complaint with the game so far is how a level can span multiple screens and there could be an enemy sitting right next to the screen transition border and you wouldn't know until it's too late.
Anyways, made it to the Industrial Complex because it seemed like that was the direction the little guy was giving me. The weird ass floodgate looks cool, I wonder if there is a reason for the strange animation it cycles through or if it's just rule of cool.
Also kinda scary being in a new place with no idea how to get food. I am maxxed out and brought 2 berries with me into the shelter, so I hope two cycles is enough to find something to eat.

>Miss the 5 star ranking by one single point
>It's the last one I need to unlock the last character based relic
FUCK. Been trying to grind these out for the last few days, it's the last one I'm short of. Bandit Raid in normal was a free win, but in hard it feels really nasty to try and hit the five star requirement for it.

>>532400353
If you want to play squad without true base building, you can always larp as a nomad and use a camping mod so you can build shit more complex than a rug and a firecamp without it being considered your faction base.

>>532405939
Unlocked most of the relics now, thank fuck. There's absolutely no reason why I had to do those unlocks specifically by maxing out the first two missions, I just felt like it.

>>532387797
>Is Kenshi good
Yes
>is it one of those unfinished buggy messes
Yes

It's great as long as you play with a small group, duo is ideal but solo is heavily limited from gamemechanics POV.
If you ever get into serious basebuilding the game turns into complete ass and you'll wish you were instead playing anything with less shitty colony automation.
So don't do that, and enjoy the ride of leveling a couple of ridiculously sturdy meatbags through all the combat/exploration content the game has to offer. And remember to kill HN.

Metamimics would be pretty cool.

Mimic that looks like a quest giver. Irresistible yellow ! floating above a generic NPC.
Mimic that imitates a marker on quest compass.

Anything to help modern gamers unlearn all that stuff until they're afraid of it.

Damn, FTL forgets nothing. Most games I've seen would've dumped the missing stuff long ago, if not outright explode and the save corrupt. And I was worried about uninstalling OE at all back then.

It is an unfinished buggy mess and I cannot recommend it more.

yes the house is ugly no i wont fix it

image isnt remarkable enough for its own post
also is fishing worth it this late into the game? set up the angler guy in the ocean because i wanted a pylon but doing 1 quest a day seems annoying

>>532435834
Is it possible to make a house that looks good, in 2D?

>>532435927
there sure are enough decorative blocks in this game that it seems like they want you to try it

>>532436420
Not what I asked.
I'm asking if it's possible. I saw very cute 3D houses.

>Rage quit
Who the fuck makes a death screen like that? I've heard the dev or devs behind Vintage Story were autistic but my god.

Someone like Sseth needs to make a video that goes viral where he explicitly says to buy the game in the first minute of footage so the devs have a legendary meltie because, don't forget, they DON'T want it to get popular. Imagine though, watching them gain more money overnight then they have in years and them freaking out over it, kek

>>532444226
what?

>>532444226
The devs want it to be popular. It's the fanbase that's gatekeeping.

>>532445226
>It's the fanbase that's gatekeeping
Suppose you'd be able to see a original player have a meltie or two then ig

Here's an unfinished clock tower I started building in 2014 or 15 10 years ago? What the fuck? I'm still somewhat proud of it and I wouldn't consider myself very good at building in Terraria.

>"cheat" with background
what do you mean?

>>532486918
Y'know, have a fairly nondescription foreground, but have very detailed background to make up for it.

I want to make a quirky funny indie rpg with dark undertones.

>>532487001

Witcher 3 actually has something like this. Where a guy is standing by the roadside yelling for help and shows up as a sidequest on the map and when you approach him the marker disappears, he yells "get 'im boys" and his bandit buddies jump you from the bushes. Good shit.

>>532444226
It is for people who take games too seriously, like (You).

This game's difficulty better not scale with the number of Cycles, or I'm really fucking myself over by playing so cautious.
Also blue lizards being able to move almost freely across the level is scary as fuck

>>532459795
it's pretty cool
instead of predefined pacenotes, you have limited time to survey next stage with a drone
you're driving a 6 wheeler with dirt rally depth of tuning, each individual spring pair can be changed and there are few unique twists like gyroscopic strength
RCS adds a new level of depth - it's strong enough to lift up your car momentarily so theoretically you can use it to jump obstacles. the fuel is very limited and directly affects mass distribution too, and thrusters overheat quickly depending on enviromental factors (like you can drive underwater to cool them quicker)
some stages have dynamic threats like meteor showers that you have to avoid and which can damage the car with shrapnel
the only weird thing about this game is how it uses aislop portraits and voice acting for characters, but since it's not a main focus and dev probably can't afford real VA i'll let it slide, it's very polished otherwise

Best game for practicing driving? I can't park for shit and I'm too autistic to practice outside. I'm downloading City Car Driving rn.

>>532493992
You've already made the best choice
Also, low-speed beamNG car behaviour is pretty accurate too

Pick a style

Just played the WInter Burrow Demo. It's pretty cozy.
Some of the stuff feels very placeholder and it's hard to judge the game from 35min of demo, especially in regards to how linear it will be, but so far I'm looking forward to it.
At the beginning it felt very amateurish but as I kept playing it grew on me

What the fuck is his problem?

>>532409117
Awww yeah nigga, first secret character unlocked.

>>532388316
>the unforgiving experience
I don't get why people keep saying this.

Kenshi doesn't feel unforgiving at all, it just can't when it has these comically resilient human analogs.
Get beaten to a pulp for the umpteenth time? Whatever I'll just walk it off.
Can't walk it off because you lost a leg? Whatever I'll just get a new and better leg.
Got enslaved? Free all expenses paid skill training camp!
Pretty much the only way to die is getting KOd alone somewhere with spiders that drink your innards.

I wish someone made a game like Pathologic 2 but balanced about being an open ended sandbox.
I'd love to RP as the town doctor, diagnosing patients and brewing medicine.
Alternatively I'd be down for a potion making game with the alchemy system from Kingdom Come Deliverance, except that that would be the main focus instead of swordplay

>>532490028
enemies that you personally kill have a chance to respawn as something meaner but otherwise no, things don't get harder over time

These wall jumping segments have to be most frustrating part so far, because my controller is quite old and the grip on the sticks is all worn down so it's hard not to slip up doing this constant back and forth in rhythm.
Also found a floodgate out of the industrial complex that wants me to be at max karma. Dunno if that's a sign that I shouldn't go there yet, or that I'm on the right track. Either way, I'll find out what's behind it on the next cycle, the yellow guy hasn't given me any more directions since the outskirts

>>532514359
Got a little lucky on the next scenario and made it two for two.

>>532519568
wall jumping is tricky until you really get it then it becomes trivial
I remember back in 1.0 spending like 3 cycles trying to wall jump up a shaft with a water fall in shoreline, it's was excruciatingly hard so they nerfed it by making the water falling not affect your gravity, or at least much less.

>>532519568
generally speaking a high karma requirement on a gate means the area behind it is more dangerous
there's a lot of routes

>>532515135
They're not invincible.
Losing a limb in unfavorable conditions can very easily lead to a character's death by blood loss.
It's easy to suddenly get into a fight you can't win against things that are faster than you and now some of your group are about to be eaten by cannibals/fog/fish/beak things/swamp spiders/definitely people. There's a lot of things that don't let you live if you lose.

This place sure is shady. It looks and sounds amazing but I am spooked by the rooms getting ever more darker. Yellow guy hasn't talked to me in a while so I'm not sure if I'm on the right track.
But if I remember the symbols correctly the way back is accessible with the lowest karma possible, so there's no harm in fucking around and finding out for a few cycles
>>532520898
yeah, when I get into the rhythm it's great. The only problem is that sooner or later my finger just slips off the stick
>>532521972
makes sense

>>532507552
That particular screenshot reminded me of The Longing.

>>532530125

>>532507552
I've tried a few cozy games and even managed to get 30, 40 hours into a few of them, but I always taper off when there's seemingly more content, I think its due to the lack of tension in them. Nothing to worry about, very little risks, or maybe it's how repetitve they get, but that doesnt make as much sense as I put 1k hours in ARK doing largely the same things, though when I think back, it was always a little different each run.

Have on called Grimshire that looks like it has some tension but it's in EA so who knows when it'll be done.

Any of you know of any cozy games that don't feel so repetitive or have some tension in them?

*record scratch* yep...that's me
Yellow guy did point me into some direction in the shaded citadel but it was down some complexity dark area.
And while I doubt this game will let me craft a flashlight or unlock night vision i.e. whenever I do decide going down that path my equipment won't be any different from what it is now, I still think there's enough other places to explore for now.
So I doubled back to the industrial complex in hopes of maybe finding some other place that looks like progress

>>532537669
there's actually a bunch of lights available nearby/inside the dark area

>>532537582
Dunno if it counts, but Vintage Story can both be very cozy but also has the tension of starvation hanging over you. I guess Terraria maybe?
Winter Burrow does have survival mechanics in the form of a warmth, food and sleep meter, but I can imagine that with good enough equipment a lot of those will be trivialized eventually.

>>532537984
God fucking damn it if you mean what you think I mean, I love it, why didn't I think of that?
I think I need to start activating my imsim brain more often. I am proud of figuring out a handful of things, like hunting batflies with rocks,using spears as makeshift poles and storing extra food in the shelter, but guess there's still lost of stuff I haven't thought of trying
