Good to know

[winter yew]

I too am a professional.

I am a professional Hexagonal.

I am an asshole too.

Just not quite professional

Ewww no

That's the worst emoti

[bronze wind]

[limber harness]

It is not, hex

[iron inlet]

[bronze wind]

I don't think you've seen :succ:

fuck

[limber harness]

I have two worse ones

[winter yew]

😐

[bronze wind]

[winter yew]

hot tbh

[bronze wind]

oh ok

[idle saffron]

No

[reef storm]

[bronze wind]

You also clearly haven't seen Joe's creepy clap emoji

[limber harness]

I'll send them in mod ch--oh.

[winter yew]

[bronze wind]

Joe get your stinky hands off my message

It's from his own server

🤤

[winter yew]

You guys are too much.

[limber harness]

[tulip coral]

I been playing this. My times at Portia

[bronze wind]

How is that?

I had seen some bits and pieces of it but never watched gameplay

[tulip coral]

surprisingly complete even that it says 'early access'

its mainly gather and craft, but the social vibe is very stardewy / harvestmoon with some great QoL features

what was unpolished is the events, some events seems like still wip that you have no idea where to start

[charred badge]

@plain rune it was when they were kinda starved for new faction ship models, so imported some generic ones that people had made.

They imported an arwing ripoff, but it was way out of scale with everything else and had awful stats.

[bronze wind]

Gotcha, that's good to hear

I enjoy Stardew so maybe I'll check it out in the future

[tulip coral]

so far, one mystery crash over 61 hours

[bronze wind]

My current backlog is so long

[tulip coral]

winter discount

I been checking a few sandbox games

[bronze wind]

I think I actually got it from a humble deal at one point

[tulip coral]

staxel also interesting but it is more of minecrafty and lack of QoL

like, crafting there suck

[idle saffron]

I’m checking out hellblade - it’s pretty damn cool so far

[tulip coral]

I enjoyed the graphic

I also bought playne, a meditation 'game'

[bronze wind]

Hellblade looked nice

Is it on sale on Steam rn?

[tulip coral]

else, im restraining this winter, too many games i bought that i dont play

[plain rune]

@charred badge ah I see

[idle saffron]

It’s on gamepass, dunno bout steam

[charred badge]

I believe so @bronze wind

As is nioh, but woah it's got a lot of negative lately

[bronze wind]

That's strange, why's that?

[reef storm]

Didn't it have to do with the lack of updates? Or was that Nier?

[bronze wind]

I know Nier got flack for lack of fixes on PC

Nioh has a sequel coming out so I wouldn't really understand the complaints

[tulip coral]

talking about flacks.. 'atlas' is a sinking ship

[bronze wind]

Yeah when I heard it was the Ark devs I kinda lost interest

[tulip coral]

and a youtube video makes me reflect that when I play ark survival evolved... I do not enjoy it

I just cant stop

[bronze wind]

Not that I had much interest to begin with tbh.

[tulip coral]

keep doing the chores of the game even tho the game actually not fun :X

perhaps because it was the dino game I wish and there is no other alternative

[charred badge]

Apparently Atlas reused so much from Ark that ark menus are still accessible

[tulip coral]

lol yeah

and epic so many delays of launch

[bronze wind]

Yeah, if you go down one from the bottom option it brings up Ark server creation menus or something lol

[tulip coral]

and they launch mmo, without ready for such

should have rent amazon cloud but well if they are for cashgrab, they wont afford it 😛

[echo hill]

[idle saffron]

Np

[cinder vessel]

@winter yew since u're a trial mod does that mean we can contest ur judgment through Trials matches

[idle saffron]

Good question

[bronze wind]

Bad question

[reef storm]

[winter yew]

I'm down for this tbh

[bronze wind]

Funny how I'm down and I'm up mean about the same thing in that context

[cinder vessel]

aayy

i don't own any trials games so i have to submit to judgment 😩

[bronze wind]

Kinda like suck and blow (in a couple of contexts)

[winter yew]

Peak is a word here that means both good and bad dependant on the context.

Words are stupid

[cinder vessel]

games are good

[winter yew]

Games are good.

[idle saffron]

He has an Xbox, and has bought nms 4 times already for it

[bronze wind]

I do have xbone

I probably have halo via home sharing

But I'm not home and I suck at Halo

[iron inlet]

RIP

[bronze wind]

I mean I'm not terrible

But I haven't played in a long time and would definitely not be good at LASO

[winter yew]

Same, is the thing that's holding me back from joining in tbh

I don't wanna fuck it up for everyone else

[iron inlet]

DO IT

Reeee

[bronze wind]

[iron inlet]

I haven't played halo in like 8 years

Get your butts in here in 2h40m

[winter yew]

[cinder vessel]

lol

where'd ya get everspace? if u wanted ya could refund & i could toss u this code i picked up from buying stuff on GOG the other day, lol

altho that'd probably just end up store cash anyway so maybe not 🤔

buuut yeah if anyone wants a GOG copy of everspace

[winter yew]

From Steam but I haven't played yet.

I also got the DLC though.

[cinder vessel]

oooh nvm then that's double locked in

[winter yew]

It looks a real fun game.

Wish I had learned about it sooner.

I also picked up Rebel Galaxy and regret not purchasing that sooner.

[winter yew]

I'm super tempted to grab that too ^

[winter yew]

Thanks Bee.

That much Gleam 😛

[echo hill]

❤

[cinder vessel]

Oh btw if you like chill exploration games & graphics don't make a major diff to ya, would recommend Commune Corvidae

you play as a crow-person 😮

and can climb almost anything & glide around, is pretty fun

[idle saffron]

Hellblade is not a chill exploration game. You play as a crazy woman

[cinder vessel]

she's had a rough life

[bronze wind]

grew up with all these people calling her a crazy woman

[idle saffron]

If the shoe fits

[bronze wind]

That's awesome

I love when my shoes fit

[idle saffron]

Not me

[winter yew]

[bronze wind]

Gleam only wears size 15 wide shoes

[idle saffron]

🤡

[winter yew]

thx zoid

[bronze wind]

but yeah I got BFV with my graphics card

Unsure if I'll try it out

[cinder vessel]

eventually probably

is what i say with free games, lol

[bronze wind]

I may give the key away, I don't really play war shooters

[cinder vessel]

aah right key, wasn't sure if you'd already activated it or not

[bronze wind]

Yeah not yet, was waiting until the card comes in to decide

Coming tomorrow

Half of the parts are here today tho

[cinder vessel]

by the way, if you like slick looking actiony games, Skipchaser is pretty cool & the dev is super responsive

[bronze wind]

Haven't heard of it

[cinder vessel]

And the soundtrack's jammin'

It's a small indie thingum

Like literally only 17 reviews on Steam small indie, lol

[bronze wind]

smol

[cinder vessel]

But it was/is $2.49 & I liked the look of it & had the money so was like, "sold!"

[bronze wind]

Yeah that's a nice deal

cheapo

[cinder vessel]

mmhmm

hell even normally it's not a bad price at $5

[bronze wind]

yeah that's super affordable

Unless you only have $4.98

She looks scary 😩

wow

she does

[austere lance]

Is that Hellblade

[winter yew]

Apparently yes

[austere lance]

Meh

Tried it, wasn't a fan

Combat is 🤢

[winter yew]

Oh

That's a shame, looks a lot of fun

[idle saffron]

About as bad as Ashens combat imo

[austere lance]

Boi

[idle saffron]

Light, heavy, dodge, block and melee - neither one are inventive in their combat - it’s the story and gameplay that are enjoyable

[austere lance]

But Ashen just has Dark Souls combat, which is fine. Hellblade has heinous combat where you force-lock onto enemies and have 3 attacks

[idle saffron]

The only difference is the auto lock

[echo hill]

pizza is on the way 😩

[idle saffron]

Don’t act like ashen has deep fighting mechanics lol

[austere lance]

Ashen combat changes with each weapon you use cuz they all have different combos

[echo hill]

im one order away from a free pizza

[cinder vessel]

do u want to know something absurd

i haven't played a super mario bros. game

[winter yew]

Excuse me what?

[cinder vessel]

i mean sunshine & galaxy don't count right?

[winter yew]

I guess not.

But yes at the same time

I don't know

😐

[cinder vessel]

i'm thinking i should say screw it & buy them via virtual console on my 3DS

Super Mario Bros. 1-3 & World I think is like $20

buuut do i get Super Mario Bros. Deluxe instead of 1 or...? 🤔

wow rude wikipedia:
The Lost Levels was the most popular game on the Disk System, for which it sold about 2.5 million copies. It is remembered among the most difficult games by Nintendo and in the video game medium, and among the least important games in the Mario series.

also how does that work, most popular yet least important...?

[rigid haven]

Super Mario Bros. 3 is on the NES thing with switch online

[austere lance]

Super Mario World 👌

[austere lance]

Just beat Ashen, I loved it

[winter yew]

How would you rate it?

[austere lance]

8.5/10 easily

[winter yew]

That's a pretty high score.

I keep talking myself out of buying it.

I did just get Game Pass tbh

So I got no excuse now.

[austere lance]

Boi, if you've got Game Pass you're set for Ashen

That's what I've been playing it on

[winter yew]

I'll be sure to check it out that's a given.

Just a matter of when. 😛

[winter yew]

@cinder vessel YES to Super Mario 1-3 & World, also I enjoyed the ones on Gameboy, “Super Mario Land” and “ Super Mario Land 2 : 6 Golden Coins” , which should all be on the 3ds virtual console, though I think you’ll need a new3ds to play World (unless you have one, I don’t remember which one you have)

(I know I’m super late to the convo but I woke up and saw this discussion and had to give my two cents hehe)

[cinder vessel]

Yeah, I've a New 3DS, waited till those were on sale a couple years back to grab one

[winter yew]

🥳

Nice

[cinder vessel]

🤔 Surely there was another Super Mario besides World on the SNES, right?

[winter yew]

Ahhh not really

[cinder vessel]

wild

[winter yew]

There was Super Mario Kart and a bunch of spin-off games

Mario’s Time Machine

Yoshi’s Island

[cinder vessel]

my point of reference is Sonic so revisiting these it's just like...I sorta get it but I'm also just like, yo, sonic looks so much cooler & more varied? I should probably pop into World for a better point of comparison tho

[winter yew]

Super Mario All-Stars was basically the NES games with updated graphics for the SNES

[cinder vessel]

Aah

[winter yew]

Mario games are a lot slower than Sonic games for sure

[cinder vessel]

Huh, I knew there had to be more detailed/involved sidescrollers at the time, Ghosts 'n Goblins came out around the same time as Super Mario Bros. 1

[winter yew]

Yeah there’s a lot of them

Rocket Knight / Sparkster are some of my childhood favorites

[cinder vessel]

Although I wonder what the NES version looked like 🤔

[winter yew]

I don’t think those are on 3ds though

Blaster Master is a good go-to if you like Metroidvania games

[cinder vessel]

Ooh yeah, Blaster Master Zero was one of my favs last year

[winter yew]

I’ve been enjoying Blaster Master Zero on my 3ds

Had to pause playing for a bit cuz I broke the back plate on my new3ds

But I have new one coming in the mail soon

[cinder vessel]

😮

dropped it?

[winter yew]

Nah I dunno how it happened but plastic around one of the screws for the plate cracked and fell off

[cinder vessel]

oof

[winter yew]

Yeaa I put a 64gb microsd in my system after I almost filled the 32gb card I was using

[cinder vessel]

also what:
In 1982, Sega introduced the first game with isometric graphics, Zaxxon.[16] I'm very curious as to if that claim holds up

[winter yew]

I have a vast digital library lmao

Zaxxon sounds familiar

[cinder vessel]

Zaxxon is really good tho if you've not played it, impressive for its time without a doubt

It's an isometric shooter where you fly up at a diagonal angle taking out enemies & obstacles & such in some high tech facilities

[winter yew]

Ohhh right

Oh shit I played that at an arcade I think lmao

Very noisy

[jade lake]

yo gmr

new 3ds's are pretty neato

i remember when i got my majoras mask one, there were like 2 left or something

it was tempting to resell it for 300$ tho

[winter yew]

I want the SNES Edition n3ds

I just have the ‘black’ n3ds because the red didn’t look right to me

[cinder vessel]

have a black one too

[winter yew]

I was looking at the new2DS' but they just look so flimsy and the colors make them look like a baby toy 😐

[cinder vessel]

Those are now clamshell too tho, yeah?

[winter yew]

Ya

https://youtu.be/j6MygV8FODU

[cinder vessel]

I kinda like them, but at the same time I'm like...Why would I buy what I just got but without a feature

Plus tbh I kinda like the 3D when games do it well on the 3DS

[jade lake]

if you ever need a game to play

on 3ds

DQ VIII is a nice cop

[cinder vessel]

isn't it watered down from the PS2 version tho?

or is it just a very different version entirely?

[jade lake]

different version

but generally the same game

random encounters are gone

oh no

so the ps2 version has an orchestrated soundtrack

[cinder vessel]

random encounters, gone? 😍

[jade lake]

the ps2 soundtrack is gorgeous holy shit

but sadly

the 3ds version

[cinder vessel]

midi

[jade lake]

is fucking MIDI

god

dammit

[cinder vessel]

ofc

i appreciate their composer's work, but man, when it starts interfering like that, just...fuck it

[jade lake]

mind you the midi isnt bad, but i listened to the orchestrated one for a little bit and it fucking blew me away. same thing happened with DQXI. shit....

[cinder vessel]

time to give some other talented composer a chance imo

[jade lake]

i just wanna play a DQ game without midi

is it that so much to ask

apparently so

[cinder vessel]

as long as they keep the current composer on yup

[jade lake]

luckily there is an orchestrated mod for DQXI on pc

but stull

[cinder vessel]

it's like Jeremy Soule or whatever & his weird antics concerning the Elder Scrolls & Guild Wars soundtracks

[jade lake]

sugiyama is way too full of himself

[cinder vessel]

Like Soule is stupid finicky about how you can buy his soundtracks or something, or at least used to be, annoying as hell

[jade lake]

sugiyama, sure he makes some of the most beautiful soundtracks ive ever heard, but hes still an old cranky douche that wont let anyone listen to it

[cinder vessel]

i mean i get it, on some level, that they're trying to ensure they can continue to make money off their work, but maan gotta be a better way that doesn't just alienate a bunch of folks

[jade lake]

agreed

[cinder vessel]

That's one thing I really appreciate about Darren Korb & Ben Prunty, they make it pretty straightforward to buy their work so you can listen to it whenever/however

Darren Korb=Bastion/Transistor; Ben Prunty=FTL/Into the Breach/etc.

[rigid haven]

Darren Korb

vinny is finally streaming mother 3

it seems weird to me that things in Yakuza 0 don't seem weird to me haha

[jade lake]

yakuza is totally real life tho

[full pivot]

no its painfully japanese but that's kinda charming

[jade lake]

thats why i like the series so much

it never takes itself seriously lol

[full pivot]

yeah its why i like this game so far myself; i love escapism even in a "real world" setting

its why i play games

[jade lake]

ye

[full pivot]

i mean Wolfenstein is also a totally accurate account of spec ops during WWII 😛

[jade lake]

oh totally

[austere lance]

Far Cry Primal is an accurate representation of 10,000 BC

[full pivot]

i still need to try that one too haha

GTA is always a total representation of the US, although not nearly as much as Saint's Row

[austere lance]

It's stupidly fun, I fuckin love it

Saints Row IV is 100% accurate, can vouch

[full pivot]

(actually Saint's Row hit the spot when it renamed the Hummer II the "Compensator")

[austere lance]

LMAO

So true 😂

[full pivot]

but honestly i enjoy the fact that games can take you all these places in a way that's more interesting than it would be irl haha

[austere lance]

Riding a sabretooth tiger 👌

Taming jaguars 👌

Using an owl as a stealth bomber 👌

[full pivot]

keep in mind ive always been a fan of scifi

[austere lance]

Saints Row IV had the best references

Especially the Mass Effect ones

And the Firefly one

[full pivot]

i still need to go back and play through that to completion

its a chronic problem of mine 😛

i start but don't finish

some games are just such a hurdle though; especially these open world GTA types, or something even more open ended like Mount and Blade

plus i think Kiryu is the most beautiful male lead character ive ever seen xD

[teal mason]

M&B is just such a great game to jump into not caring about anything when you cheat your startup

Once you get past the start it's just so great to politics and kidnap enemy leaders

[teal mason]

oof "US$25 car" that drives shittily in GTAO who woulda thunk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKurEPyf5Q4

[rigid haven]

No one really buys cars in GTAO anymore since they're all kinda bad

[meager panther]

No one really buys anything in GTAO anymore since they're all kinda bad

Fixed that for ya

[rigid haven]

The Oppressor, MkII, Deluxo and a few others are fine

That neat future tank

[teal mason]

No one really buys anything in GTAO anymore since GTAO is kinda bad*

I wish they developed grav game

Seems bad it got abandoned

[wide warren]

Anyone seen the game called The Isle?

[teal mason]

heard of it forgot what it's about

[wide warren]

Essentially dino simulator. Play as dinos

[idle saffron]

Good times

This will help, I’m sure

[haughty rapids]

Sauropods always reminds me to diplos .w.

[gaunt hare]

@idle saffron what game is that

[austere lance]

Looks like Hellblade

[gaunt hare]

Oh dang you're probably right. Still haven't played that. Want to.

[austere lance]

I still laugh every time Takkar talks in Far Cry Primal, after learning that he's voiced by Adam Jensen from Deus Ex it's just hilarious to me 😄

Also, Primal is ridiculously fun and I love it

[gaunt hare]

I got recommended it by a friend.

My brother loves the far cry games and that's the only one besides the first far cry that he's never played

[austere lance]

It's the first Far Cry I've played since 3 and it's fun af

[gaunt hare]

He got far cry 4 instead and he never finished it. I told hiim to get primal.

At least Primal seemed a little original, relatively.

Setting is cooler.

[austere lance]

Imma tell you right now, doing stealth takedowns with a spear is brutal and satisfying af

I love how the takedowns change depending on what weapon you're holding

And the upgraded versions of weapons look 😍

I'm on the second to last spear upgrade and it looks mean af

[charred badge]

Mmm. This game's a blast. https://youtu.be/LQegmOsD2Zc

[teal mason]

pizza is for everyone

[full pivot]

you can't steal a classic aspect

it'd be like spiderman is afraid of bats

[winter yew]

Now I remember why I hated playing Elite. lol... I am terrified of landing, and also I didn't realize I was supposed to transfer cargo to my ship before heading off after accepting the mission to transfer said cargo. I made it all the way to the destination, empty handed.

[full pivot]

a docking computer can make landing easier

keep in mind that they don't tell you what you need for every mission

[winter yew]

I figured as much

[full pivot]

if you ever wanna 'hunt pirates' make sure you have a FSD interdictor module beforehand

[winter yew]

also I forgot how to fucking engage my hyperdrive.

[full pivot]

target a star on the galaxy map

[winter yew]

that took awhile to find lmao.

[full pivot]

and engage FSD

[winter yew]

yeah i figured it out

it's been too long since i played

I have 183 hours and most of that was just me exploring in a Diamondback

[full pivot]

oh i see

make much money from that?

[reef storm]

You do now

A lot more

[winter yew]

i bet

[reef storm]

Yep - with the new update, exploration has changed for the better. SO much better

[winter yew]

Ever since I picked up NMS I pretty much forgot about Elite.

[full pivot]

i was just gonna say its also based on what you find

earthlikes fetch a nice price as do black holes

[reef storm]

True - but I think they said a simple honk and go in the new way is worth more than scanning all the planets in the old way

[winter yew]

lmao. honk

i remember that 😄

[reef storm]

Hehe

It's still in there 😛

[winter yew]

Good

[full pivot]

good to know

[winter yew]

I still have 24 hours to fly back to the station to get the supplies I needed to transfer

so maybe I'll do it later when my friends are online

they are the only reason i re-downloaded the game, a handful of my friends were checking it out

[full pivot]

i only stopped playing after i lost 100 hours of exploration by being glitched into a neutron star

and dying

[winter yew]

oh god

[reef storm]

oof

[winter yew]

the worst way i have ever died was by bouncing off of asteroids during bounty hunting with a friend in a planet's ring

i was trying to flee combat and next thing i know my ship is spinning wildly and then boom.

[full pivot]

i was trying to use the FSD boost but randomly it pushed me too close to the star to escape

[winter yew]

friend said he saw me bounce off an asteroid and smash right into another one lmao

[full pivot]

i overheated and then was unable to escape before i overheated to death

[winter yew]

oh man

[full pivot]

its never happened before or since

[winter yew]

a few months ago i loaded the game up and because of NMS i forgot that you have to request docking permission

[full pivot]

i spent all 6 months of RCTQS on that exploration voyage

[winter yew]

so guess who flew into a station without asking first lmao

[reef storm]

Did the station pop you?

[winter yew]

oh yes

[reef storm]

Heh

Live and learn

[winter yew]

yeaa

[reef storm]

Also - I've got almost 500 hours into the game.

[winter yew]

yike

[reef storm]

That's not my most played either. FFXIV - 1400 hours

[winter yew]

my most played is Warframe

but i'm kinda burnt out nowadays and the new boss fight they added is total bullshit. I can't solo it, and I have to rely on people with very OP builds to carry me through it because the mechanics are lame and it makes me angry.

[reef storm]

eww

[winter yew]

I enjoy the game very much but that boss fight.. fuck that.

in-game hours is like.

i think around 1900 by now

[reef storm]

yikes

[winter yew]

been playing on and off since 2013 lol.

[full pivot]

i dont think i'd ever play warframe

i've given too many similar games a chance

unless they can prove its not gonna be the same experience i am extremely hesitant

[reef storm]

It's fun, but the learing curve is high (all the different systems in game)

Combat is fluid, which is nice

[winter yew]

yeah that can be a bit overwhelming to a newer person

[full pivot]

learning curve doesn't really bother me ever

its grinding i don't enjoy

im somewhat of a genius no game is ever too complex for me to learn within a day or so

[winter yew]

ahh

im still trying to figure out how I spent so many hours in some of the other games on my steam list lol. like Skyrim makes sense but GTAV doesn't.

[full pivot]

Skyrim does not make sense to me

[winter yew]

I was mostly just playing around with mods

I know I will probably never ever finish every sidequest

[full pivot]

the sidequests are tedious

they have nothing of the substance of the main questline

mods don't really count as its creative license from people who are more imaginative usually than the developers

[reef storm]

Pretty sure I did enough sidequesting to get good gear and then finished the main quest

Never did mess with mods

[full pivot]

i never finished Skyrim

[winter yew]

and then I've got Red Dead Redemption 2 sitting here next to me on my PS4

[full pivot]

i tried the one mod that made girls look super pretty

[winter yew]

and that feels like Skyrim Cowboy Edition

[full pivot]

and then i found the other things it did and regretted it

[meager panther]

[winter yew]

or as someone said

'yeehaw skyrim'

[meager panther]

I huh never played skyrim

Or witcher

Like I tried

But never liked it

[winter yew]

i couldn't get into Witcher

[full pivot]

ive tried

Geralt is certainly nice to look at

[meager panther]

I will try playing outer worlds

Maybe

Since it's sci fi

And cool

[winter yew]

Gonna try to add some SEGA Genesis games to my snes mini

[full pivot]

but i don't feel like im playing a cool main dude that looks really hot

i feel like im playing a lonely dude's fantasy no offense

[winter yew]

Gotta love the hackers that make these things possible lol

[full pivot]

idk i kinda feel that from Yakuza 0 too

[winter yew]

don't ever play NeiR Automata

[meager panther]

Here I am making Dino's fight each other

😩

[full pivot]

i mean Kiryu is an amazingly beautiful man

however

[winter yew]

there's literally an achievement for looking up one of the android's skirts lmao.

[full pivot]

yeah but that's another kind of fantasy

being the ultimate man is also one

[meager panther]

Any game that uses anime style art

Has issues

[full pivot]

thats a generalization

ive played plenty of DBZ fighting games that have no agenda beyond over the top fighting

[winter yew]

https://youtu.be/4Z2AqtrvW-U?t=68

thinkin about adding this to my snes lol

[echo hill]

Why did nobody tell me to get Spiderman sooner?

[winter yew]

dude

that game is so fun

[echo hill]

It's incredible

[full pivot]

i refuse

mostly cuz its on ps4 and i cant even remember bloodborne

[echo hill]

Do you have a PS4?

[full pivot]

yes

[meager panther]

https://youtu.be/zr51ILYvzWg i huh

Don't know

What to say

It's nms on mobile

[echo hill]

No

That's clearly The Galaxy

[meager panther]

https://goo.gl/images/Hy4gYA

Look at that

It's literally the nms trailer image

But for mobile

[winter yew]

Going to take one for the boys, buy it and try it out

[full pivot]

i will also take one and not do that

i will be the skeptic

[meager panther]

It has five planets

Only

But the dev is working on more

It released like 3months ago

So like hg needs to step.up

This graphics look better

[teal mason]

No Person's Stratosphere

[echo hill]

5? Shit. HG is falling behind

[meager panther]

No like look at the graphics

It runs on a mobile

On 2 gb ram

[full pivot]

and clearly unlike NMS nothing prerelease could be false

[meager panther]

It really has the same planets

It shows in the trailer

Becoz that's all it has

[teal mason]

The Galaxy? More like The One Planet?

[meager panther]

5

5 planets

[teal mason]

The Five Planets?

[meager panther]

It's early access

[full pivot]

Outer Wilds had more than 5 as a student project :\

[meager panther]

Link?

[full pivot]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Wilds

its hard to find the original now that there's an official one

[meager panther]

It's scheduled for 2019

[full pivot]

so they say

its been in the works for ages

[meager panther]

@winter yew let us know how it is

When you play it

[winter yew]

Yee

Downloading it rn

[meager panther]

Oh

[echo hill]

turns out to be really fucking good

[meager panther]

Comrade took one for all.of us

[echo hill]

Inb4

[meager panther]

It has only one creature

[full pivot]

one opinion tho

[meager panther]

Sure

[full pivot]

im way too stubborn for that

[meager panther]

Lol

Haha

I will uh wait for further development

Till it gets more creatures and planets

[echo hill]

Gamer you should make mods for it

[full pivot]

as the promoter here

this is unfortunate

he's just trying to trap birb

[meager panther]

@echo hilli already messaged the devs lol

Of that game

Let's see if they reply

[echo hill]

Hahaha

[full pivot]

there are games that have active modding communities too like XCOM2

[winter yew]

lmao.

[full pivot]

acey is gonna make me mad i can tell

[winter yew]

I just now saw that game ya'll were talking about

[full pivot]

oh ok

[winter yew]

I know nothing about XCOM

[full pivot]

i was bitch are you gonna go after XCOM2; i was about to be livid

[winter yew]

lmao

nah not my thing

[full pivot]

fair enough

[echo hill]

I wanna be playing Spiderman rn

[winter yew]

closest ive gotten to playing a game like XCOM is a game called Tooth and Tail

[full pivot]

i feel like its an acquired taste

not as much as 93 XCOM tho

people complain about the losses on modern XCOM and don't realize you basically can lose the game in a few hours in the original

through very few mistakes

[winter yew]

I was mostly playing games like Sim City in 1994, and uhh.. those games where you type out your actions.

[full pivot]

Gateway?

[winter yew]

naaa

[full pivot]

aww

[winter yew]

it was a police simulator

[full pivot]

police quest?

[winter yew]

Yesss

[full pivot]

yeah i always played King's Quest

[winter yew]

I had that one too

drove my mom nuts with the music lmao

[full pivot]

KQ6 introduced me to the point and click genre

that game was so beautiful when i was a kid

i couldn't live with Disney after that 😛

i mean you tamed Nightmare and rode to the underworld!

it was a little to fantastical for a young mind

[winter yew]

this is the Police Quest i played.

https://youtu.be/Ql-3RaOWgOA?list=PL63D65A6DAAC2CAB5&t=195

i 'failed' this part so many times on purpose

[echo hill]

SOMETHING IS CLICKING IN MY ROOM AND I HAVE NO FUCKING CLU WHAT IT IS

[winter yew]

ran out of the locker room with just a towel on, someone would point and laugh at me and i'd be embarassed and I'd get a Game Over

[full pivot]

its prolly just a poltergeist bee

[echo hill]

Oh okay

Well in that case

🤷

[full pivot]

https://youtu.be/IiudXAm7jVU

the realm of the dead in KQ6 scared the shit outta me as a kid

[winter yew]

oh man

alright let's see how many of these work hehehe

[full pivot]

creepy music, creepy imagry

and everything was so real when you were so young

one wonders how i survived playing doom at such a young age

[winter yew]

there was an old DOS game a friend of mine used to play, the graphics were all blocks and stuff like Atari 2600 style, and I can not remember what the goal of the game was, all I remember is that it involved fire somehow.

[full pivot]

i kinda got into DOS beyond the Atari style graphics era

i was into it when ID software and Sierra were dominating

and Apogee

[winter yew]

I haven't spoke to that kid since 2001 and his brother passed away that owned the pc at the time, so there's no way to find out what it was. All I remember is he'd be playing that any time I came over and he'd boot up DOOM and have custom levels going. I'd also experienced Quake 2 and the multitap for the first time on PS1 back then lol.

was a lot of fun

[full pivot]

i still play a lot of DOS games

[winter yew]

Oh

my all-time favorite pc game from way back then is M1A1 Abrams Tank Simulator. It's on Steam for a couple bucks. and requires the keyboard only.

[full pivot]

several years ago i speedran KQ6 for a girl i was dating

and i used to show her Tyrian 2000, Epic Pinball, Commander Keen, etc

and even one time i introduced her to Inca

which is weird af if you didn't experience it when i did

[winter yew]

cant seem to find any proper gameplay of Tank M1A1

[full pivot]

unless you think dogfighting spanish conquistadors in dagger ships in a death star-like trench as a Tumi (an Inca symbol) is normal

[winter yew]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/410550/Tank_M1A1_Abrams_Battle_Simulation/

Steam

Tank: M1A1 Abrams Battle Simulation

The beauty of this armored warfare simulation is that it can be played from the simplest action mode to the most complex operational level of company command. You may choose to command only your particular tank or as many as 20 tanks, artillery and aircraft, while the battle ...

Price

$1.74

▶ Play video

i mean you can kinda see gameplay there

you could play against other players through dial-up too lmao

[full pivot]

i woulda never played it anyway my parents' didnt care for real world based stuff

except Red Alert

yeah it looks a lot like a flight sim except i na tank

that's now what... 1 part of ARMA 3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ct5aJFl30M

dis gaem was based on a book series

although it was a typing text based adventure; i'd highly recommend it for a real scifi experience from the 70s/80s

[winter yew]

Im pleasantly surprised that the Snes classic seems to be running the Sega games pretty nicely, they sound great

[full pivot]

so the SNES won the console war on superior sound

its not a suprise

[winter yew]

lol

now i need to figure out how to get Gameboy games running on this thing

[full pivot]

genius would prolly help

i don't feel like helping atm tho 😉

[winter yew]

lmao you're alright i figured it out

resolution is a bit funky (bottom or top row is cut off) but it works

[full pivot]

huh?

[winter yew]

See how it’s cut off at the bottom? Thankfully the emulator has video configuration settings

I could also stretch it to fill the 43 inch screen lol https://twitter.com/tigerstripes85/status/1079325381038088193?s=21

in the end it's not worth it because it doesn't save the setting

so im just gonna take the gameboy games off

Thank god for google refunds

that nms rip off

is terrible

lmao.

the mining beam doesn't even work

I can't wait for it to come to iOS

it passes through objects

and the ship

you can't even enter the ship

I know one game I'm gonna add to it

x)

[full pivot]

i have played this 100% ^

its well worth it

[idle saffron]

I am highly enjoying it

I have quite a few games on my backlog, and I keep coming back to hellblade

[winter yew]

What is that

[idle saffron]

Hellblade

[winter yew]

ohh

[full pivot]

i got very emotional while playing it

[idle saffron]

Easy to see why

[full pivot]

im glad someone else finally found it!

[winter yew]

been lovin' Super Animal Royale

[jade lake]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuyUShtcn94

not sure if anyone played this game

but its held up very well

[reef storm]

Well that's nightmare fuel.

[idle saffron]

That’s happy time

[winter yew]

ugh,... doing delivery missions in Elite.. feels so damn slow after playing NMS for so long

[idle saffron]

I love elite, but it’s a very different pace for sure

[iron inlet]

Hellblade? @idle saffron

[idle saffron]

Yep

[iron inlet]

Was tempted to pick it up, how is it?

[idle saffron]

I’m enjoying the hell out of it

The audio is terrific, you must use headphones though for the full effect

[iron inlet]

Souls-y?

[idle saffron]

In the sense that anything can kill you fairly easily - but the combat isn’t advanced

Story driven, not combat based

[iron inlet]

ahhh nice

[idle saffron]

It’s not bad combat, just not groundbreaking or anything. But you have heavy and light, with combos, and a block and parry, evade and some other spoilery stuff

I’d call the combat good enough

Heh

She is a bit out there

[iron inlet]

Nice haha

[austere lance]

I tried Hellblade, I really did. The combat and puzzles were 😴 imo tho

[cinder vessel]

i mean it's more about the narrative anyway i was pretty sure

[idle saffron]

Different strokes

[austere lance]

😏

[jade lake]

why are there a bunch of images

[austere lance]

Cuz bofa

[jade lake]

got my ligma vaccine today

[austere lance]

I don't play Arma but holy fuck
https://youtu.be/SUp_ijBCOVA

[rigid haven]

Okay so this is really dumb buuut

There's a weapon in FO76 that's bugged at the moment and, instead of firing the usual 5 fusion cells at full charge, it fires all of them at once

I've seen mixed results but it may very well cause damage relative to the amount of ammo you have, which is really, really nice at the cost of being super expensive

Or you could fix the bug by dropping your ammo, firing it once, then picking the ammo up again, but why do that when you have a superweapon?

[reef storm]

Yeah, that seems like one of those 'ace in the hole' weapons. In trouble? Fire all the things.

[rigid haven]

I'm stuck between fixing the bug and using the broken version on a scorchbeast queen

[reef storm]

Honestly, I'd use it.

[rigid haven]

Oh yeah, it's an assaultron head, which I find super cool

[reef storm]

Sounds pretty cool

[full pivot]

i might actually try out that mod that looks rly cool haha

and im not a big Halo person or anything

[reef storm]

It does..

[reef storm]

@idle saffron Ended up picking up Hellblade because of you lol

Gonna try it in VR on my next off day.

[austere lance]

I need a gun like this in a game, lol
https://youtu.be/LyhR1THflUU

[cinder vessel]

Skipchaser's pretty fun

[austere lance]

Celeste is free with Gold for January

So is Far Cry 2

[rigid haven]

Fuck me that's a strong line up

Well

Celeste is

[austere lance]

I've only heard of it through you guys talking about it, lol

I haven't played Far Cry 2 in forever

[jade lake]

Celeste

GOTY

[austere lance]

I know nothing about it 🤷

I'll download it, seeing how it's free

[rigid haven]

It's a hard platformer

[austere lance]

Blech

[rigid haven]

It's actually kinda super accessible

[jade lake]

the greatest platformer imo

[austere lance]

I don't really play platformers tbh. Ori and the Blind Forest is the latest one I played and I quit after the giant tree boss

[rigid haven]

Awww

[jade lake]

damn

you're kinda missing out

[austere lance]

I liked Super Mario World 😄

[jade lake]

celeste borrows a lot from mario

specifically mario 3 and world

[full pivot]

i should prolly look at that sometime tonite/tomorrow

[wide warren]

Who her, play that no mans sky

[jade lake]

english?

[cinder vessel]

sonic forces and sonic mania cry out to me to play

i should get them eventually, but in the meantime i could just play the sonic games i have 🤔

[rigid haven]

Mania is good, Forces is, well, I've no clue

Actually, Mania is bad if you don't like the classic sonic games

[cinder vessel]

lol

[rigid haven]

Though "classic" implies they were great in the first place

[jade lake]

sonic 2 is ok

sonic 1 is bleh

[cinder vessel]

Forces lets u create ur own Sonic character and that has me all sorts of stupid hype

[jade lake]

except for scrap brain zone music

[rigid haven]

Yeaaah

The custom characters are the best thing

[jade lake]

oh my god the forces character creator is so fucking bad its GOOD

[cinder vessel]

i love it regardless of how dumb it is

[jade lake]

like it is just so stupidly funny

[cinder vessel]

and then, you get to unlock new costume parts through level completion!

which is so nice & classic i love it

[idle saffron]

Hellblade

[winter yew]

[austere lance]

Lol, Ark just got put on Game Pass

[winter yew]

😩

[austere lance]

I might be downloading Metal Slug 3, lol

[echo hill]

wot game?

[winter yew]

@winter yew what game is that and sorry for the ping

Elite Dangerous, try it out if you get the chance.

Assuming you love space games since you're here 😛

[austere lance]

😴

Space Trucker Simulator, lol

[winter yew]

oh but i dont have the game 😦

I'm really enjoying it but my most played game on Steam is Eurotruck Simulator 2.

So, figures. 🤷

ahh

I rate it high.

ok i wish i had enough money to get the game

I only bought it end of last week so very new to the game.

ahh

[austere lance]

I worked my way up to an Asp Explorer then quit cuz of 😴

[winter yew]

Hahaha

I haven't even touched 10mil yet.

I'm in a Cobra Mk3

Just hunted out meta alloy for the person at Farseer Inc.

[austere lance]

Cobras are 👌

[winter yew]

I got a 1.5 hour travel back from the station I'm at now though 😐

Trying to find advanced discovery scanner to earn monies on my travels.

[austere lance]

Oof

[winter yew]

But the game in general is nowhere near as bad as people made it out to be.

Which is the reason I stayed away tbh

I regret listening to that.

[austere lance]

Don't join an open lobby if you're in the Bubble, lol

[winter yew]

That PvP pirates?

[austere lance]

There's very OP players that you can't do shit against who'll rob you blind

Or just kill you

[winter yew]

Ouch 😐

[austere lance]

Yeah, I mostly played solo or in private servers with friends

Fully upgraded and engineered Corvettes will fuck you up

Or Anacondas

[winter yew]

I do plan on finding a couple of small communities once I feel I've got the game worked out, I'm 40 hours in and only found out about the scanner today + the FSS thingy for after where you align the radio signals.

I'm probably missing a whole ton of stuff still.

[austere lance]

I'm in a community on Xbox 🤷

Tho now we're basically just a gaming community cuz we're mostly bored of ED

Tho a few still play it

The dude that made the community is one of the top pvp players in the world, I think

[cinder vessel]

so, uh, Déraciné is really good for anyone else with PSVR here, at least if you like chill narrative games

[iron inlet]

yup, me too haha

[rigid haven]

LiS2 is also on it

[idle saffron]

I absolutely loved the first one

Dunno why, but it really drew me in

[rigid haven]

Same, it's great

It should also sate the appetite of anyone who were destroyed by Telltale closing

Resident evil 7

[meager panther]

Oh wow

👀

Is that on pc

Or console

[cinder vessel]

yes

[echo hill]

R/inclusiveor

[cinder vessel]

so the real question is, do any of us know how the hell to take/edit screenshots of VR games so that they don't look rough?

[reef storm]

Nope. At least I don't lol

[fluid hare]

It sounds like something out of Japan!

[rigid haven]

Woah fc

[cinder vessel]

Déraciné is a fascinating game, but you really have to enjoy the writing for it to work...But that's really the case for just about any more narratively driven piece of media
