What an adventure

cinder vessel
raven frost
#

Dyson sphere program is pretty good tbh

coarse swift
#

I really wanna get it

#

Price needs to drop a lil bit though.

finite hazel
#

thinking i might buy valheim

#

@dry copper scrolling up, is that what you were talking about ? 😄 sounds exciting

inland grail
#

@spiral shell i always got scared by this movie

finite hazel
#

i see a bunch of my online friends have already purchased it

#

looks like i'll have a bunch of people to play this with, looking forward to it i think

sleek cloud
#

it's really good

#

already feels way beyond a early access game, haven't come across a single bug yet

broken prairie
#

i think its less early access in the bugs department but more in teh gameplay and content department

sleek cloud
#

only thing that i find needs some improvement is the combat

#

he only really hits straight forward so fighting on a hill can be a little troublesome

keen dome
#

what is the game about?

sleek cloud
#

viking survival game where your stuck in a place called Valheim which is like a proving ground to show your worth to Odin so that you can go to Valhalla

keen dome
#

Ah so not like city builder

sleek cloud
#

not really no although there is building in it so you could build a small town/village if there was a bunch of you

#

upto 10 players

bold crag
#

hmm weird sea of thieves wont load

full pivot
#

The Expanse S5 ep 10 ||Naomi is god tier badass what the fuck how many times will she jump into space at near death||

#

||NO WHAT THE FUCK ALEX DIED??||

plucky mesa
#

Woah

#

Anyone tried this?

bronze wind
#

saw that yesterday, looked it up today and I guess it's linear and kinda frustrating to play according to some reviews

crisp sparrow
#

oh god

#

expanse s5 ep 10 ||so apparently he was "kicked" out of the show a little prematurely because of sexual assault allegations by multiple women, and then in the show Naomi's like "I called him a brave idiot and Amos responds with "well there's worse things to be" almost feels like a subtle jab||

#

||still feels weird that they unceremoniously killed him off, they didnt even do a whole bit about giving his body the final rights and all and the main cast just kinda accepted it quick||

finite hazel
# full pivot can't believe we're not steam friends 😛

really? i'd be happy too 🙂 we can exchange steam friend codes. i'm like 3h in, got killed by a gang of wild boar at first, now i already have a bow and was able to shoot down some birds 😄 seen deer running around, so i'll try killing them with a bow

#

also... how can i plant seeds?

#

😄

#

couldn't figure that one out yet

full pivot
#

i dont have valheim yet but feel free to add me my profile is on here

finite hazel
#

oh ok! yep, that's fine 🙂

viral token
#

expanse
@crisp sparrow Have just started watching the show, up to episode 5 of season 1

crisp sparrow
#

definitely dont click

#

those were big spoilers

viral token
#

too late already did ... but no idea who your on about so I should be safe, plus I'm old and I'll have forgotten by the time I get to season 5

crisp sparrow
#

oh haha I can relate to that

viral token
#

ah! Lopez (the mars guy who got them on the ship to escape, played by Greg Bryk) was also in Regenesis ... loved that show.

thorn dawn
#

40 people

#

:/

crisp sparrow
#

what the fuck

#

I didnt look too deep into it as I was busy watching

thorn dawn
#

some underage too

crisp sparrow
#

man

thorn dawn
#

Obviously, only allegations at this stage but... fuck

#

well, that makes the whole thing make a bit more sense, I guess it was a case of "how do we shuffle him out the door after filming has started without screwing everything up"

#

@austere lance will probably be interested in this too

austere lance
#

Already knew 😬

heavy zenith
crisp sparrow
#

yeah its well put together

echo hill
#

@austere lance check this out. I played it last night and it sick as fuck

heavy zenith
#

(I don’t know anything about the show otherwise so I’ve nothing to add otherwise)

echo hill
thorn dawn
#

The users still won't read it though 😄

heavy zenith
#

@full pivot is sea of thieves any fun solo? I’ve been sort of wary and you mention a kraken

full pivot
#

i think its fun solo and with people

#

its more intimidating solo because you have to fight things on your own

#

and im scared of big underwater things

#

the kraken and megalodon mostly

heavy zenith
#

Hm

full pivot
#

ive been able to sink a skeleton ship on my own tho! 😄

heavy zenith
#

I guess I’ll try it. Thanks 🙂

full pivot
#

make sure to use to smallest ship :3

willow crypt
#

someone should make a game that's a cross between Sea of Thieves and Subnautica

#

Alien space pirate game

loud slate
#

yeah

austere lance
echo hill
#

It's so fucking cool dude

plucky mesa
#

lol

full pivot
heavy zenith
#

Oh it’s pretty

#

Nice moon there

proven pond
#

I have a thing for great parking jobs in this game

#

Without anchor, then, is a plus

austere lance
#

Oooo, The Darkness and The Darkness II are on sale

full pivot
#

big face was complimenting me 😆

proven pond
#

He's such a sweetheart

sly spire
#

Not to ignite any rivalries here, but have y'all seen the upcoming Elite Dangerous expansion?

coarse swift
#

Lookin forward to Odyssey meme

#

There are no rivalries when it comes to space games imo

glass plinth
#

Frankly, looking forward to the update. Though Im not expecting to much.

#

Not to really imply what they have made was small

sly spire
#

I've slowly started drifting from NMS to Elite if I'm being honest. I love NMS, and always sprint back to it with each new update. But I like Elite's mission and player ran economy based system over NMS resource collecting and base building system.

cinder vessel
#

I tried Elite: Dangerous and the default controls are so obnoxious I just bounced right off

glass plinth
#

The shared histories of places is what drew me to Elite. I can go to my home system. See the impact of ages of intereaction between factions and cultures.

#

Have you played many space sims leon?

cinder vessel
#

Plus it's always online and means it's going to get shut off eventually, so I'm like, no point grinding away in something like that

glass plinth
#

Thats never been much of a reason for me not to play a game.

#

Most games I play end.

#

Its usually with a fond fairwell.

#

All I have is good memories of asherons call.

#

That and a bunch of the games I played as a kid wouldnt even run on the system I own now.

#

Mind you thats 30 years of games.

#

As for the controls. I wont lie, they take time to master, but that insane learning curve allows for mastery of a system with depth most space games dont happen. I wouldnt trade complexity for approachability. Thats not what a space sim is like, nor should it be for that genre.

cinder vessel
# glass plinth Have you played many space sims leon?

I don't know about many, but I've tried EVE Online, I've played Freelancer, Descent, X3: Terran Conflict, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, Everspace, and each of those, default controls, mostly no problem, albeit Descent was in an era of HOTAS so took some reconfig, but it's older so no surprise.

Elite: Dangerous is one of the only modern games to be ridiculous enough to seem to expect HOTAS, and on top of that, try to emulate HOTAS on keyboard/mouse default controls.

Simply dreadful.

glass plinth
#

Ah

#

Yeah, those games you listed arent really space sims

#

Save for maybe x:3

cinder vessel
#

I don't care, they're still space games

glass plinth
#

Totally different genres though.

cinder vessel
#

And if we want something comparable-ish, Ace Combat I don't have much problem with

glass plinth
#

Just saying a game is a space game is like saying a sports car and a rabbit are the same and expected to control the same.

#

They dont.

#

Space sims typically have more vertices to control. So you can manuver in ways you cant in a arcade style.

#

Skill is way steeper

#

and way more fun for actual pilots

#

thats who the game was marketed to

cinder vessel
#

I'm going to get food. I stand by what I said, the default controls for Elite: Dangerous are terrible

austere lance
#

I didn't have a problem with flying in Elite on a controller, I just hated landing so I got the auto-landing thing 😆

glass plinth
#

jeje

#

I fly joystick HOSAM

raven frost
glass plinth
#

So for me, I have every vertice of control

#

Hands on mouse, and stick, plus keyboard for extra control.

#

Not much different then say how i fly in real life.

#

That level of control is what makes me play ED

#

ALthough for people who arent into such levels of control, I just say, find a game that suits you.

#

It really isnt a fault of ed

#

Its a point of good design

cinder vessel
#

You must not have played Descent. Descent is comparable in control

glass plinth
#

Eh, I did

#

I didnt find the controls all that great

cinder vessel
#

But Descent is better imo

glass plinth
#

Eh

#

Good enough

#

I mean yeah, I could say descent is better. If that suits you. I Mean that isnt wrong.

#

Personally I can glide between two ships in ED in combat, due a strafe and run circles around most pilots

#

Just because I can master that many points of control.

#

If they went for descent type controls, you could do comprable control schemes

#

It just wouldnt feel right to me.

#

Thats just taste.

#

Hrmm

#

HOWEVER, if they could give descent level controls in ed, which i could see them doing, it mite draw in more people.

#

Haha, the first 3 months though were rough. I killed many a pilot landing wrong.

austere lance
#

My friend plays ED with a controller and is the highest rank in the weird pvp mode, I thought controllers would be much worse when I tried the game but apparently not

glass plinth
#

Not if your used to them

#

ALSO, some controllers have side analog sticks!

#

Those bastards are amazing

#

Three sticks, three points of control

#

Essentially god teir

#

My stick rotates, so I control rotation with my stick, up down, with the stick, left and right. Thruster up and down on my mouse side keys

#

The keyboard I have all my stuff like drone controls and flares

#

Missles and beams on the stick

#

Its fun when you get used to your thrusters and you can sorta rotate around your enemy in arcs

#

You can always tell people who are more oriented to plane combat because they dont use every point of axis

cinder vessel
#

You can have complexity but good defaults

#

Elite treats the mouse like some sorta virtual joystick and it's terrible

austere lance
#

Be arsed with playing it on M+KB, sounds like a nightmare. Controller or joysticks 👍

glass plinth
#

Agreed Leon

#

Why they never changed the default controls Ill never know.

#

As for the mouse. I love my mouse.

#

I do have dual sticks

#

I just prefer HOSAM

#

I play left hand stick, right mouse

#

Same as I have always done in most flight sims for .. oh 17 years my guess

austere lance
#

A few of my friends who hardcore played it used really expensive HOTAS setups

glass plinth
#

Warthogs i bet

#

Never was fond of that stick

#

Had weight issues

#

I like the t16000m

#

Light stick, very rigid and substantial at the same time.

#

Haha, thats just taste though

#

Ive ran dual stick, Stick, thruster and foot

#

and homas

#

Frankly Homas is best because I can transition between combat and mining easier and drive my vehicle on planet easiest

#

However straight up combat hard choice

cinder vessel
#

that all said, even if the controls didn't bug me, just about everything i've read says you're doing most of the same dull junk in other space sims, mining asteroids, running filler missions, or wrecking enemies with minimal context

glass plinth
#

I guess thats all valid if you dont have context yeah

#

Context is really something you have or dont in ED

#

For me, all of my activities are framed by my homeplanet and the people linked to it

#

Whole entire political games being played on a massive scale.

#

Exploration wise, I enjoy the emptiness of space.

#

Going out some some distant reach of space, exploring for months. Listening to music as I scan planets for anamolies

#

Once in a blue moon though you have these holy crap moments exploring. You find somethign mind blowingly different and amazing.

#

Combat wasnt really my thing. I can fight though. I find that a bit.. well not my thing

#

Mining I love, but I spend my time mapping out new systems for people. SO again, more explorationt hen mining

#

Definitely not everyones cup of tea. Some people want more whats the word...

#

Color I suppose you could say? More of a grand space opera. When in reality space is mostly calm.

#

Not to say you dont get some colorful moments. If you can see whats going on in a system.

#

For the longest time in my home system, the neighboring system ran a prison colony. Several factions send you off to do filler missions. Popping shots across each others bows.

#

Then suddenly Im at the space station and they tell me to kill the president of the colony off. Setting off a civil war.

#

Ive only seen a handful of missions like that.

#

When you get them, its fantastic.

austere lance
glass plinth
#

Lol its a bit like eve

#

Eve you can play it and never run into any story

#

Because you never got involved in it

#

Albeit, eve has improved a bit recently in that respect

sleek cloud
#

Eve stories are very much made up from the players i find

#

yeah it does have lore n stuff but i don't think anyone really cares about it that much

#

could be wrong though

glass plinth
#

Most of the story is battles between massive groups which reshape the entire galaxy for the most part

#

Thats really the story. The story of people impacting the shape of politics

austere lance
#

There is no story in ED, just weird news logs to read and numbers and names changing on the galactic map

glass plinth
#

A lot of daggers in backs.

#

hehe

#

Unless your a corp leader

#

then those numbers have words connected to them

#

Entire political arenas

#

Gah, memories. I will never run a corp in eve again though.

#

It got way to personal

#

Blackmail oozed out into real life

#

So much to enjoy though.

#

The best fun I had was running a smaller mining corp. Back before we folded a dozen other corps into ours.

#

Raids into dangerous space for recipes. Crazy missions to defeat some tyrannical pirate op which wasnt much more then a flea on a elephant.

#

Yet, they impacted small groups immensely and all that diplomacy to move a small group to fight said flea.

#

Great memories

#

THats the magic of eve though. People matter. A lot.

#

Meanwhile, I am perfectly happy building a house in Valheim, Hunting boar and deer.

cinder vessel
glass plinth
#

Eh

#

Depends on the level of ego you have and if you like interacting

#

I enjoyed meeting people, I like organizing my labor forces.

#

I really enjoyed the social aspect of it

#

Some people are just more engaged I suppose.

#

Cant say I have the patience for it anymore.

cinder vessel
#

I don't know if it's being antisocial or introverted or what, but trying to coordinate with other players online always just felt too much like herding cats to me. Simply exhausting.

Chatting, no problem, coordinating play, 💀

glass plinth
#

Ha

#

Helps I had 3 secretaries

finite hazel
#

too soon for photo mode i guess, can't wait (uh, i realized just now people are in the middle of a convo, sorry travellers)

📎 20210212220009_1.jpg
glass plinth
#

Id recommend using cheating

#

Then fly around for photos

#

Plus you can turn your ui off

#

You can also zoom out your view

finite hazel
#

ohhh, i've looking for something to turn the UI off; is there a command line?

glass plinth
#

Nope, its easier

#

Ctrl f3 i believe

finite hazel
#

nice! thanks!

#

🙂

glass plinth
#

Wait, i can plant fields of grain!

#

I didnt know it was int he game... THE LITERALLY HELL!

finite hazel
#

i've collected a queen bee

#

😄

glass plinth
#

I just literally realized I can plant barley with the cultivator

raven frost
glass plinth
#

I feel stupid

raven frost
#

we gettin BIGGER

finite hazel
#

oh wait, what game is that?

glass plinth
#

I see that v1

#

That is dyson sphere

raven frost
finite hazel
#

ah!

glass plinth
#

Looks like you have things automated now

finite hazel
#

reminded me of another game which i can't remember the name

heavy zenith
#

Wait there’s a fishing game in this game

coarse swift
#

😩

#

I must acquire DSP

heavy zenith
#

This is insane how many more games are there here

finite hazel
#

All the gameplay is there

heavy zenith
#

I cannot stress this enough

willow crypt

heavy zenith
#

Don’t research the spoilers

#

But do play it. That is all 🙂

finite hazel
#

oh... from supergiant ?!

#

austere lance
#

I'll try Hades if it ever comes to my platform, it looks fun

heavy zenith
#

Duuuuude

finite hazel
heavy zenith
#

PC, Switch only currently right?

austere lance
#

It's not on Xbox

finite hazel
#

ah, gotcha

heavy zenith
#

They’ll surely bring it someday but they’re doing Switch right first and only just landed cross-save

finite hazel
#

that's sweet

#

cross-save i mean

heavy zenith
#

And .. there are so many supergiant giggles

#

I can’t explain without spoiling

#

You will enjoy the writing 🙂

silver sparrow
#

Top tier

raven frost
#

ah SHIT

#

@glass plinth WHAT DO I DO WITH REFINED OIL

#

IT'S AN EMERGENCY

#

I'M DROWNING IN IT

heavy zenith
#

It’s also the first game that has reliably made me shout “yeah take that YEAH” and throw my arms up in the air and trash talk the opponent I just defeated after ||73|| tries

#

For multiple different opponents

#

And then I just cheered for getting a ❤️ so like .. this game. This. Game.

glass plinth
#

Sorry mate, never played the game V1

#

Id guess its for either energy or manufacturing plastics and such

#

I could easily look it up on a wiki

#

so could you though

astral egret
#

Wakfu?

plucky mesa
#

Yea...not sure sure about Earth Analog...

#

I love that movie.

spiral shell
#

Very underrated in my opinion!

dry copper
#

You know what else is underrated? Grape Fruits.

willow crypt
#

i want a nice big juicy grape fruit right about now

dry copper
#

I concur.

finite hazel

lighting is really nice in Valheim

Is the gameplay nice in valheim?

#

WandaVision today has my favorite best ||DDR song|| of all time in it! Coooool

Today was def the most enjoyable episode for me. Love Quicksilver

Holy wooooow

#

This is the best comic book I’ve seen in years

heavy zenith
#

it's kind of stunning how many steam achievements for Hades have >25% completion

prisma geyser
#

Guys y'all don't understand

#

New Humanity's Last Breath album released this morning

#

And it fucks

charred badge
#

Sorry, I haven't kept up.
Is that good or bad?

prisma geyser

#

dry copper
#

I'm lovin it

heavy zenith
#

Nice!

dry copper
cinder vessel
#

did you have to dig out the spot you built that in?

dry copper
#

Not entirely. I did dig around it to create a moat so monsters couldn't melee the base of the fort

#

It's in a ravine with a small stream I'll be digging out to a river to make way for a ship

cinder vessel
#

Ah, so you can dig out areas though?

dry copper
#

yes

#

You can't destroy the whole world, the dig depth is about four storeys before you hit "bedrock"

cinder vessel
#

Are creatures drawn to buildings?

dry copper
#

Not really. They're drawn to certain items you craft in them, like beacons which are used to level your crafting stations. They're drawn to light.

cinder vessel
#

Lol, the bug philosophy

dry copper
#

There are invasion events every now and then where a bunch of monsters appear to attack your base

#

Most aren't drawn to light. It depends on them. The weaker are scared of light.

#

The ones that are drawn to light do not spawn in the daylight.

#

They appear only at night and disappear when the sun rises

#

Like fricken vampires

prisma geyser
#

this is such a great song but god it's also dumb

finite hazel
#

@dry copper nice to see you're having a blast!! 😄

sleek cloud
#

the storms are WILD in this game

dry copper
#

I just want to find a dedicated server that's password protected of a small lot of people.

#

I did find one, but it's public with pw protection so randos still pop in and they're dicks.

sleek cloud
#

ye i think this game would be really good with others to play with

dry copper
#

They destroy everyone's shit

#

I played for 15 hours straight with a group of four other guys

finite hazel
#

15h straight? damn, i'm getting too old for that

#

😄

sleek cloud
#

i can go about 4 hours these days 😄

dry copper
#

Built two huge forts, explored a tiny fraction of the world, killed a world boss, found the vendor, started making portals....Fun

finite hazel
#

i have not killed the first boss yet

#

just been farming and upgrading my gear

sleek cloud
#

bow and fire arrows

finite hazel
#

the best i can

dry copper
#

We made the mistake of making our primary base near spawn, so rando noobs would spawn in and wreck our shit

finite hazel
#

yeah, got bow lvl 2 and fire arrows just recently

sleek cloud
#

you'll no issues against the first boss, just also make sure prep food so your health is high just in case he does catch you a few times

finite hazel
#

gotcha

dry copper
#

Block is your friend

finite hazel
#

noticed that eating food pushes max health up and gives regen?

#

pretty cool

dry copper
#

It's not terribly difficult to level.

#

Just work on skills

sleek cloud
#

yeah, depending on the quality of food determines your max health

dry copper
#

One meat, one berry, one shroom....My diet

sleek cloud
#

haha ye basically mine atm, sometimes throw a neck tail in there 😄

finite hazel
#

i've killed some of the reptiles, that give like something something neck

#

ah yeah, neck tail

dry copper
#

Neck are the best for it since they spawn so frequently

finite hazel
#

so meat, neck tails, and berries

#

😄

sleek cloud
#

sounds lovely licks lips

dry copper
#

Get bow and learn to shoot at range and you can one shot all the boars and deer without issue

finite hazel
#

🤤

#

yeah!! that's what i've been having fun with, trying to master the bow

sleek cloud
#

ye i find the bow is maybe a little op early on

#

especially when you start using fire arrows

dry copper
#

Not in the swamp 😛

sleek cloud
#

i noped out of the swamp 😄

finite hazel
#

couldn't creep up on any deer using stealth, so i had to go and make a bow

dry copper
#

Swamp is when you start to need to learn to use potions

#

Poison resist

finite hazel
#

oh, uh, why did i get killed by ... something that looked like a beehive?

dry copper
#

Because bees

finite hazel
#

hahahaha

#

😄

dry copper
#

Beecause

sleek cloud
#

i tried to knock one down but didn't work....

#

i was hoping for the honey 😦

dry copper
#

They have a chance of dropping a queen bee if you knock it down

finite hazel
#

i've noticed shooting arrows at them works

#

got honey and 2 queen bees so far

dry copper
#

Use the queen to make your own bee colony

sleek cloud
#

ah ok cool

dry copper
#

Free honey forever

sleek cloud
#

i bet honey grants quite a large boost to health too

dry copper
#

I dunno. It's an ingredient in potions tho

finite hazel
#

can't remember the stats

dry copper
#

Eventually the biomes get very unforgiving so you need to either wear special gear or use special potions

sleek cloud
#

but if anyone sets up a dedi server, be sure to invite us

finite hazel
#

right, about gear; do we get new things to craft when we kill different animals?

dry copper
#

Me and a few guys went exploring yesterday, came up on the shore of this biome called "The Plains"...buddy was like...NOPE GET THE F OUT OF HERE NOW....

#

Too little too late.

#

A mosquito killed almost all of the team as we were trying to boat away

finite hazel
#

a mosquito?

dry copper
#

A MOSQUITO

finite hazel
#

killer mosquito? hahaha

sleek cloud
#

oh damn

finite hazel
#

this game 😄

dry copper
#

Deathsquito

sleek cloud
#

also how big is the world?! i zoomed out and was like wtf...

dry copper
#

They're super hard to hit and they hit super hard

#

It's.....Enormous.

finite hazel
#

it's pretty big for sure

#

i zoomed out and was like - yep, it will be a long time until i explore this whole thing

sleek cloud
#

and gotta point out how well the proc gen works, it all looks so natural like it's been hand crafted from what i've seen so far

dry copper
finite hazel
#

!!!

#

😄

#

awesome

sleek cloud
#

someone's been busy

finite hazel
#

also, i forgot, i made a raft!

#

😄

#

but like, couldn't control it

sleek cloud

it's...slow

#

and mine mysteriously got destroyed. Either it was the necks or it bashing against the side because i have to sort of beach it so it doesn't float away

#

"this is the beginning of my viking sea adventures" - didn't work

sleek cloud

unless there'a way to anchor it

finite hazel

yeah yeah, i had a few times it wanted to float away

#

had to swim/push it back to shore

#

didn't find a way to anchor it

your pfp looks like Dr Samuel Hayden

#

You can't just shoot a hole in the surface of Mars!

finite hazel
#

also, how many base computers can you put down?

winter yew
#

sorry for interrupting
as you were, as you were

finite hazel

😛

dry copper
#

So I did a rough guestimate based on the map size

finite hazel
#

workbench i mean 😄

sleek cloud
#

no idea about base computers

dry copper
#

The full world map is 50.41 square km

finite hazel
#

yeah, that's huge

sleek cloud
#

especially for being on foot

#

so i see why they added portals

finite hazel
#

i'm assuming those get unlocked later

dry copper
#

It took us three hours to get home from one venture to kill a world boss

#

The wind kept blowing our sails in the wrong direction

#

Then we'd see some weird crap and go investigate.

#

Then we'd get attacked by serpents.

finite hazel
#

the giant turtle was the best.

dry copper
#

It's a good thing there were no villages to ransack.

#

This game makes me wish that AC Valhalla was MP

finite hazel
#

(haven't found it myself, i just remember you telling about it)

dry copper
#

I wish I could delete garbage.

sleek cloud
#

my next goal now is to find the materials to make a smelter

crisp sparrow
#

damn the game has a lot for early access

sleek cloud
#

it honestly doesn't feel like an early access game

crisp sparrow
#

it definitely feels like it

sleek cloud
#

it runs well, lots of content, no bugs so far

crisp sparrow
#

the UI is atrocious

dry copper
#

Cyberpunk 2077 could learn alot from this game.

#

😛

sleek cloud
#

if i had to pick a weak point so far it's the combat

#

combat is a bit meh

crisp sparrow
#

reminds me a lot of Satisfactory's old UI

dry copper
#

How to make a cyberpunk 2077 game.....VIKINGS!

crisp sparrow
#

it was also the same - very tiny text and very jarring icons

#

despite them being different devs

dry copper
#

Allegedly, Valheim's sales are skyrocketing. Over a million sales this week alone

crisp sparrow
#

shooting arrows and throwing spears are very clunky

dry copper
#

Though, if this game has over a million sales, the servers don't show it

#

I only saw about 5000 servers.

sleek cloud
#

i don't like how your attacks are straight forwards so there's no real direction attack with a melee weapon

crisp sparrow
#

also how do I put a campfire inside my house

sleek cloud
#

so fighting on a hill or something can be a pain

crisp sparrow
#

I thought opening the roof above it is fine

#

but it still gets smoky for whatever reason

dry copper
#

Is there a chimney?

#

You need a chimney to funnel smoke

finite hazel
crisp sparrow
#

oh

dry copper
#

Otherwise it kills you

finite hazel
#

works

crisp sparrow
#

I thought just having no roof would be enough

sleek cloud
#

ahh that's not bad, bk

#

my fire is outside atm

dry copper
#

No roof means the fire goes out if it rains

finite hazel
#

no roof will not stop rain

#

yeah!

#

hahaha

crisp sparrow
#

ok I'll try that build

finite hazel
dry copper
#

Build a chimney through the roof, make sure it's at least out of the roof a bit and add a roof ontop of the hole like ^

finite hazel
#

it looks like all the smoke is concentrated there though

dry copper
#

There are lots of ways to do it.

finite hazel
#

i like how there's beams

dry copper
#

Also add a beam infront of the fire so you can't get too close to it that it burns you

finite hazel
#

good tip

sleek cloud
#

ye i may have ran into the fire 1 too many times 😄

finite hazel
#

hopefully the palisades i put up will help against invasions, thinking boars with the rush in attack might be able to destroy them though

#

chopping down wood, a falling tree might destroy trees next to it, or if that doesn't happen, trees get stuck 😄

sleek cloud
#

ye knocked down 3 trees once with 1, that was pretty cool

finite hazel
#

heh

sleek cloud
#

just watch they don't hit you 😄

finite hazel
#

yeah

sleek cloud
#

i went down to 4hp once because of a tree

finite hazel
#

at first i though the direction we aim in, when starting to chop, that's the direction the tree will fall - but sometimes the tree is already leaning towards one side

sleek cloud

At this rate the fort looks like something that should house a small gang lol

#

Makes me wish there were npc you could recruit

#

Speaking of, I decided to submit an idea for passive bonuses tied to base NPC. IE: Sea captain recruit while in base will give a turning bonus to ships, cartographer will give an exploration bonus that increases how much of the map is expanded as you explore and a cook that increases the duration of food bonuses....

The catch being you have to maintain the passive bonus by feeding some game loop, like a friendship tracker.

#

Other bonuses may include events that unfold only if you have certain NPC together.

#

IE-Captain and cartographer may together offer a periodic revelation for a point of interest.

#

Captain and cook may start a revel which can attract other NPC to the base, creating an atmosphere

finite hazel
#

made a new house. came up with this idea - the upside is that i never get burned when walking inside a tiny house

#

a short question, how do you aim in hades, with the mouse or rather just by walking into the direction you want to shoot

#

i assume its the former

heavy zenith
#

It’s in prefs

#

There’s a checkbox to allow that

#

Note that at first you’re going to suffer a bit of confusion once you enable that, since the brain has to relearn. It’s worth it.

bold crag
#

and you still just walk with wasd correct

heavy zenith
#

Yes

#

But when you jump it’s in the direction of the pointer

#

Wait I might be confused

bold crag
#

good, the thing is i am just so bad with games that dont lock my mouse

#

it messes with my entire brain

heavy zenith
#

So, I set the “jump in direction of pointer option” and I found it infinitely better to play

#

I can’t say for sure if it will solve your problem

#

But you should go set it

#

And then see if you still have trouble with firing direction after you play a while with it

bold crag
#

i am thinking about it, it looks less like a bullet hell than enter the gungeon is

heavy zenith
#

Screenshots never show this stuff so hope it helps!

bold crag
#

looks good

#

thats a control scheme i can agree with

heavy zenith
#

I’ve had little desire to change it

#

The checked boxes up top aren’t all the defaults and, fwiw, I am not inclined to turn off aim assist

#

It’s too frantic and it isn’t first-person 🙂

bold crag
#

hey if i can get aim assist why not

heavy zenith
#

the progression is extraordinarily carefully designed

#

it's subtle, it's invisible

#

i'm 81 attempts in and it's just starting to politely hint at me that there's stuff i don't have yet

#

at the end of the steam refund window, you will know without a shadow of a doubt whether you enjoy playing it or not

#

i'm at 44 hours / 81 attempts and i am going to go start 82 now 🙂

#

oh and it silently autopauses combat and timers when you background the game

#

but leaves the music, so that you know it hasn't crashed

#

'when you background the game' aka hit the windows key

#

and autoresumes when you panic alt-tab back to it

bold crag
#

the good old panic tab

Was that your first run?

nope

i had a bit of trouble with meg

since i didnt have my second dash yet

heavy zenith

Heh.

i mean, can i see my number of runs somewhere?

keen dome
#

How is Valheilm only 1gb..

Yes. Quit to main menu and hit Play and it’ll show on the save.

There may be other ways depending on progression.

heavy zenith

I haven’t given up the ||shield|| since I first picked it up

keen dome
#

I don't understand how this game is this small

the shield is nice with the throwing but i dont like the bull rush

bold crag

me too

#

time to renovate

#

but now for the real questions, what do i do with titan blood and the diamond, lets see

#

ah the diamond gets me orpheus

#

i think my favourite weapons so far are the spear and the fists

#

not that the fists are good, i just like punching as a way to deal damage

heavy zenith
#

If you didn’t have preferences it wouldn’t be a good game

So Valheim is unforgiving with death ☠️. Died on the way to a burial thing and inside because of a damn ghost

#

I can retrieve my stuff but it left me feeling defeated atm so I stopped playing tonight

sleek cloud
#

haven't experienced death yet in the game, was close though when cutting a tree it decided to flick just slightly into me knocking me down to 4hp

keen dome
#

Oh I had 3 trees fall on me at one time

#

My second death was to 2 skeleton because blocking with a shield is odd

#

And the 3rd was the ghost. Hope my items are there when I fire it back up

crisp sparrow
#

blocking is basically just holding the button

#

if you take moderate damage you block it all

#

but if the damage you take is too high you still get hurt

#

Zero 1 is just fantastic. Not too difficult, but also not too easy

crisp sparrow
#

kinda funny I can get better fps on NMS versus Valheim

#

45fps average on NMS, 25 on Valheim

#

both running at 720p

cinder vessel
#

that is funny

#

tho to be fair Valheim is early access and all, so that may have a hand in it

crisp sparrow
#

yep

#

the smoke particles are awful

#

huge improvement in my fps when I go away from my house

cinder vessel
#

are they also just ugly af? lol

crisp sparrow
#

they're decent

#

no smoke.png besides the tiny white particles

cinder vessel
#

aww but i wanted the pngoodness

#

More seriously though, just what style is Valheim going for anyway? The lighting & water seem your usual realistic-leaning look, but watching some gameplay I noticed textures seemed pretty low resolution, which kinda surprised me

crisp sparrow
#

its like minecraft rtx

#

low poly textures with high res shaders and atmospherics

#

if you see it from afar you cant even tell its pixelated

sleek cloud
#

guessing it uses a voxel shader and for the smoke it does collide with environment making it more taxing

crisp sparrow
#

I dig it, even though I've not played the old school games its inspired from I still like the design

finite hazel
#

some people can't get past that the game uses these low poly textures and stuff - i had absolutely no problem, games i was used to play when i was a kid were even "worse"

fervent fog
#

they just unreasonably want the most realistic-looking games possible and it's really sad

crisp sparrow
#

not really

cinder vessel
#

yeah, i don't mind the looks, just that some of the quick shots i saw were from a distance where you couldn't tell that there were low res textures in play, lol

crisp sparrow
#

low poly if not done right really looks awful

#

even this game some parts of it look bad

cinder vessel

man that makes me want to hunt down some of the best worst low poly stuff, lol

there's some that's just like, how, how were you ever supposed to make out what that was

kinda like some old pixel art

I think the game looks great

did a brief little search to see if i could find videos of people not just doing the beginner snoozefest and that weren't annoying, but not much luck with that yet 😂

Its interesting, people bring up the low poly and modern lighting in valheim

That may be why I enjoy it so much. Its.. I cant put my finger on it.

The game lands smack in the middle of low poly and modern and did it like my favorite minecraft texture pack summerfields

#

A very similar vibe in a way.

austere lance
glass plinth
#

Good

#

Im glad they are taking their time.

#

To be honest, with the quality as it stands, its pretty well good enough to release, but i respect they want to keep it early access until the game has all the intended content

#

I think they said 4 main updates

#

Lemme dig it up

#

So basically exactly what a early access is, a year or two where the game is playable. Yet not to the point it is finished to the state they intend it to be

#

Bit like Subnautica did or kerbals really

#

Definitely wish more Early access were like Valheim. Ive played some where they release so early in the development cycle, its barely a game. Like planet explorers for instance.

#

They mostly do that because they think they can make some money to finish the game and need said money to do so.

#

Also 2 million copies that quick... damned.

cinder vessel
#

early access as crowdfunding, or extended crowdfunding, is sketchy af tbh

austere lance
#

I like how Valheim and Grounded are doing EA

winter yew
#

They do have a publisher. Plus game's kinda great as is.

About 50% done content wise, so that's always good to hear. Based on what's already here, they can't really fuck it up without trying hard.

#

its like NMS trailers, its all in game but with the HUD off

cinder vessel
#

yup, and nothing in full, but still snippets of gameplay

#

the real question is, tho, are there women in valheim

crisp sparrow
#

dunno about enemies since they're monsters

#

but you can play as a male or female

#

which interestingly you actually look like a viking woman and not yet another generic white woman that can work as a model

cinder vessel
#

yeah, was the player character i was wondering about, since all i've seen are your stereotypical norsemen, lol

austere lance
#

Watched some gameplay, not sure how I feel about it lonk

crisp sparrow
crisp sparrow
#

and can spawn them multiple times

#

finding the boss altars can be a pain though if your map seed sucks

cinder vessel
crisp sparrow
#

gameranx content is always alright but yep its always garbage clickbait titles

austere lance
#

Hmm. Looks kinda fun, not sure about houses degrading tho

crisp sparrow
#

its pretty slow and you can see it visually when its at half health, all repairs (building parts, your tools/weapons/armor) are free to repair

austere lance
#

👌

crisp sparrow
#

legit confused me, I kept looking at my inventory to see if something was getting consumed but no its free to repair anything

austere lance
#

I'll probably try it in a year or whatever whenever it's outta EA

cinder vessel
#

No repair costs is def. unintuitive for a survival game

austere lance
#

If it ever goes on console

cinder vessel
#

Nice, but unintuitive, lol

crisp sparrow
#

it is weird, yeah but then there's already enough survival annoyances that this is fine

#

hunger is super important - while you wont die by not eating, your health is dictated by the food you eat and you can only eat one of each item with a max of 3

#

and your total health slowly drops as you start to assimilate the food

#

night time is brutal - you get the "cold" effect that drops your health regen by 50% and stamina regen by 25%

#

not to mention more monster spawns

cinder vessel
#

hmm, i should play some more don't starve thonk

crisp sparrow
#

on the other hand - building a house is useful as it gives you a couple of effects that greatly boost health and stamina regen

#

and the more amount of times you sleep in a particular place, you get even further boosted

#

oh wait my bad, its affected by the decorations you put up

#

the higher the "comfort" level, the longer you have a "rested" effect that sticks around when you're exploring

#

(50% health regen, 100% stamina regen)

#

I really appreciate this, not only you have to build a house to protect yourself from the elements, but it also awards you with good bonuses if you rest well

cinder vessel
#

have you been soloing it, or...?

crisp sparrow
#

yep totally solo

#

I'm pretty sure my pc would crash if I tried mp

finite hazel
#

will be aiming to defeat the first boss today!

#

been practicing with forest trolls

#

😄

#

"music in valheim sounds like i'm playing path of exile" - yep, definitely

#

not saying it's a bad thing

crisp sparrow
#

yeah its the same theme

#

as in both being very nordic

silver sparrow
#

there was a ps5 drop at amazon at 0300 👀

#

i missed it 😭

finite hazel
#

beat the deer boss in valheim 🙂 it was kinda easier than i expected; used a bow/flint arrows, tried to keep the environment between me and the boss (the rune rock was useful), took a few hits from the forward lightning attack but tanked those just fine (rested/cooked meat,necktail and honey, 101 HP)

#

@finite hazel would you recommend it for solo play?

finite hazel
#

like sohail i've been playing it solo

#

i like the pace of it; it lets you explore somewhat to your liking, but the game is good at hinting you that perhaps you're exploring a bit too deep, and you may find enemies that will be tough to deal with

#

i've died a few times, and i thought it would be tough to get my things back, since my grave was next to whatever enemy that killed me - but it really wasn't

#

run over there, hit the button to retrieve grave, and run away

#

😄

sleek cloud
#

ye first boss was surprisingly easy

finite hazel
#

did the devs say anything about mods in the roadmap?

silver sparrow
finite hazel
#

😄

crisp sparrow
#

but its unity engine so modding will definitely happen, there's already Valheim Plus and the ReShade mod

finite hazel
#

good news 🙂

#

i'm already reshading it, didn't know about valheim plus?

crisp sparrow
#

mostly small tweaks here and there

finite hazel
#

google fu time

#

😉

crisp sparrow
#

and opening up some advanced settings to mess with for server play

finite hazel
#

yeah, on it now, thanks 🙂

#

doesn't seem like it's something i'll use atm

crisp sparrow
#

same yeah

finite hazel
#

still learning the game - i'll decide if i want item teleportation enabled for ores (for example) later

neat yew
#

Wow really digging Valheim lol. I really wish trees in NMS behaved more like the ones in valheim. Going back to NMS feels so plastic, inorganic, and fake compared to the almost simulation feel of the valheim world.

crisp sparrow
#

kinda agree haha

sleek cloud
#

and the water, imagine if NMS had water like in Valheim that would start raging when a storm hits 😮

#

that. would. be. epic

crisp sparrow
#

and also when you chop down a tree and it can hit another tree so hard you get a domino effect

#

and also being able to kill mobs by means of TIMBERRR

neat yew
#

the weather effects omg

#

The troll is basically what we all wanted large animals in NMS to be like. Running around, knocking trees over, scaring shit. So much emergent gameplay that NMS just can't do.

loud slate
#

well technically NMS ||is a fake created simulation, so some things will be a bit off|| (though that stuff would be awesome)

sleek cloud
crisp sparrow
#

on the flip side NMS runs far well for me lmao

sleek cloud
#

he thought he could charge at me then a tree fell on him 😄

neat yew
#

Yeah but I mean some people think our own universe is a simulation, but there is still physics lol

#

pulling a cart feels so nice in valheim... driving a vehicle in NMS feels like its not even real physics

sleek cloud
#

have a server setup for it too

neat yew
#

i jump between my three single player worlds, and my two friends worlds when they're online lol

sleek cloud
#

runs surprisingly well but it being peer-to-peer can be a little cumbersome

neat yew
#

Wow, so many of you playing right now!

sleek cloud
#

it sold over 2 million copies already 😄

neat yew
#

Honestly, it's like the opposite of the NMS launch lmao

sleek cloud
#

especially with how smooth it's gone

neat yew
#

yeah, nobody even really knew what it was. It just came out, fully functional SP and MP. Made by a tiny team that didn't delay it once, etc.

and only 2 years in development
