I just narrowly missed that this game came out this week:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1396980/The_Sealed_Ampoule/

The Sealed Ampoule is a "Dungeon agriculturalization Rogue-like" game. As described in the genre name itself, the title features both Rogue-like and farming elements.The game was developed by CAVYHOUSE – developer of Forget Me Not: My Organic Garden and The Midnight Sanctuary. Unlike most Rogue-like games, you'll level-up your dungeon as opposed...

I'm really sad that I'm almost finished Raft. This game is fun. It's chill. I could race to the end, but I'm enjoying it (especially with family).

#

We each have our own interests and struggles and try to share one raft with many thoughts

The best part of Raft is being reminded how important it is to remember that you're not an island.

I had a similar experience to this when I was little, there was a lice outbreak in my school in the 90s, and I ended up with a shaved head. When I got home, my dog spent a good half hour in the back yard freaking out every time she saw me, I was terrified to go near her until she got a good sniff and realized who I was.

so...i feel very silly. I played all the way through Trackless and didn't realize until I hit the credits that there was apparently voice acting.

Biomutant because it's been delayed so much, so it may come in hot, and Mass Effect remaster because it's EA, and who knows how well they'll have handled that

Rapidly swapping between NMS and Valheim is weird, because they share a lot of DNA - exploration through beautiful procedurally generated terrain, some kind of survival element, base building, cooking, taming, etc etc - but they're so fundamentally different that forgetting which you're playing will break your flow and have you stumbling over your feet the whole time.

I'm playing Endless Space 2 and I found a way to have an empire collapse on itself with hacking. Have their own population destroy every system, just as fast or faster than their populations can return. It's insane lol. I feel bad even using it against an AI lol.

bold crag
#

that reminds me of an idea i once had in stellaris

#

i let fallen empires devour systems of hostile empires

#

since certain fallen empires dont accept any systems adjacent to them i captured a system that was between the fallen empire and a different empire,then i traded that system to the fallen empire, making their borders expand towards the hostile empire, which gave the fallen empire a casus belli on that empire

cinder vessel
#

@static trellis sorta weird question, but can Endless Space 2 be played without having Steam running?

Found out after the fact that, to my disappointment, Endless Space 1 cannot be played w/o Steam (tho it can be played in offline mode, thankfully).

Reminds me a tad of The Sealed Ampoule tbh. In The Sealed Ampoule you're also rerunning the same ground, and returning to a home from where you can upgrade some stuff...In this case, the dungeon you're rerunning.

#

Where Loop Hero seems to regenerate the loop and its surroundings, requiring you to modify the loop each run, Sealed Ampoule regenerates the dungeon but saves your upgrades/modifications.

you are weird if you like a single game at a time, ye

i’ll generally play 1 to 2 games at a time

# fleet moat the season finale was awesome. it was just perfect imho.

Honestly didn't care. I mean, I thought it was an interesting idea, but I wasn't committed to it. I thought the show was going to be used as a springboard to something bigger to re-vitalize the franchise.

I'm okay with it not being there. They just played it close to the chest and that added a sense of anticipation - but it gave Paul Bettany more money to live so I'm good with that.

There's still room to grow if they ever want to go that route. Operating in negative space created a lot of hype for the show.

#

A man who takes his kid to an audition just to make it on time without abandoning his duties as a father...

#

That's Paul Bettany.

#

Maybe it's inappropriate but that's life. Grow, Adapt, Evolve.

(For the record I still have not seen a single episode)

I felt thefinale was good but out of place

The whole series was non action and more people based so to have it suddenly turn back to superhero fights was a bit off

I much preferred the first 3 episodes

#

The segments outside of the show really dragged it down imo

I think it would be much better if it stayed in the show, but got weirder and weirder and people had to piece it together until the finale when it gets revealed

Kinda like the film get out

Two of the EU books are pure canon now.

I mean for Star wars. Sorry should clarified

i feel like that has to have also happened in EVE

Fun fact: the game still does an awful job explaining how modules work, lol

And by that I mean it doesn't. At all.

cinder vessel

it's a work sim, not worth the bother

austere lance
#

To be fair, the new Codex has sections dedicated to how to outfit your ship for different jobs and how the jobs work

cinder vessel

see

#

work sim

#

on the plus side at least it doesn't call them quests, a little more honest in that regard

austere lance
#

It only feels like a work sim if you're trucking or mining 🤢

#

There's Codex pages for mercenary jobs, pirating, search & rescue, salvaging, bounty hunting, and xeno hunting

#

Oh, and smuggling

#

And exploration

#

The game is much better at showing you alternatives to the godawful work sim gigs, lol

but overall book plot is consistent going over to film

it's my favorite scene in the books

and they shafted it going to film

so a little miffed about it xD

yea and they still burned the entire budget on the Order fight at the end of film 5, and missed most of the minor details leading to it

yknow there's actually a question i meant to ask, in all seriousness @full pivot do you use "it" as well as traditional pronouns (she, they, he)? ive been considering using them myself, i genuinely rather enjoy being referred to like a pillow

I usually default to they until I know otherwise

What about PS02:2

coarse swift
#

NGS?

#

I know that's hitting PC soon, but surely it's gotta come to PS4/5 at some point

#

I mean

#

Japan has it on playstation

#

And has had it for years

rigid haven
#

True, though iirc the main reason it's even available in the west is due to Microsoft

#

(though nobody plays on the MS store anymore- it's objectively the worst way to play it)

coarse swift
#

And now they expect people to redownload the game on EGS for some free stuff

#

You can probably sneak by with tweaker, but

charred badge
#

you can probably do the same trick with pso2 as warframe for that

#

Start install, copy/paste game files, blah blah

#

2/3 of the UT warframe guns were awful, but the free stahlta was appreciated

coarse swift
#

Thing is

#

While I do want those UT gun skins

#

I'm less than excited about what they're limited to

#

||It makes sense tho||

#

But I still don't feel compelled enough to download EGS and reinstall for it

rigid haven
#

Oh you can totally use the tweaker for it instead

The amount of different game hub avenues I have to go through is just out of hand imo

Steam and the Xbox store is enough already

@rigid haven did you finish Paradise Killer?

I came from Outer Wilds which might just be one of the best games of that sort

#

I'm sorry, what? PS5 is getting Denuvo?

balmy plaza
#

Whoa so what people were saying about xbox not having good exclusives is wrong now

#

Looks like the elder scrolls 6 will be exclusive

#

And starfield, which could be big depending on how good it actually turns out to be

rigid haven
#

I think most people's point with Xbox is that- sure it has some really nice exclusives, but they all come to PC too

charred badge
rigid haven
#

Xbox is most likely the best console for people who don't own decent computers but if they do, the PS5 is the clear choice

I already have a better skin for the shotgun, though.
Scaling issues aside, the rubedo one is awesome

#

Nah, switch is the best choice to accompany a pc

Also who needs skins man I have PRENZER I don't need no skins

OH yeah

I just meant in terms of PS5/Xbox SeX

Heh. For a company that whined a lot about "xbone", they sure aren't trying very hard to avoid furthering the meme

PSO2? Usually hunter

I play Bouncer because I love looking cool but hate being alive

I see this PSO convo

i used some SG to buy material storage for a month and fuck me does it help

#

What class do you play Arce?

coarse swift
#

Phantom mainly

rigid haven
#

Ayy

coarse swift
#

But I main rifle

rigid haven
#

Can't get into phantom because of all the weapon switches, but it's a damn fine sub

#

Man

#

I mained rod when I played Phantom

coarse swift
#

Well thing about Phantom

#

You're better off not switching weapons all the time

#

Pick the style you like and stick with it

rigid haven
#

Really? I figured you had to swap a bunch to charge Phantom Time or whatever it's called

coarse swift
#

Hell no

#

If weapon swapping had anything to do with phantom time, its not noticeable

#

Rod phantom will get pretty sub-palette heavy compared to rifle or katana

#

I have a generalist setup so I can switch between all 3 if I want to, but other rifle mains would say I shouldnt

#

I could have one of my 4 rod sub-palettes exchanged for a genon rifle, as an example

rigid haven
#

According to my Super Cool PSO2 Friend, katana is not a great exclusive weapon

#

While rod and rifle are

coarse swift
#

Your friend would be right

#

Dont get me wrong, I love the ability aesthetic

#

But compared to braver, ph katana is lacking

charred badge
coarse swift
#

I still use the katana on some occasion... if I feel like not doing dps or something

#

It can be fun

#

That all being said

#

Apparently

#

Katana seems the best for the second half of Phaleg

rigid haven
#

Man I don't think I've even fought one Phaleg

#

I've been pretty hands-off recently

#

And haven't been doing story because ep. 1 is trash

Most of the story is trash for a story really

rigid haven
#

JB is like all iframe

#

So are SB

coarse swift
#

Especially EP4

#

EP4 is terrible

#

At the very least, best you can do for yourself is skip cutscenes and do everything on Hardcore

#

Get an S rank on the hardcore bits and you get some SG from title lady

#

Think its like 20-40 per

#

Oh yeah

I did that a bunch back when the Mother Corps scratch was running

Somehow Doom 3 doesn't join in either

All they gotta do now is take Commander Keen and turn it into a battle royale

they have like every other old doom, and wolfenstein youngblood, but not doom '16 😂

Not wolfensteim 3D tho

Which would be the same as claiming doom

hey remember when they toyed with the idea of making commander keen some mobile game

Its screams "were trying to take credit for Doom"

Which is so gross

but sadly not in the least bit surprising

Its not and I'm sure ill be massively outspoken on this

they're def. banking on fan goodwill to ignore all that

TES6 will run on the same engine 😝

which somehow they still have even after the disaster that was fallout 4's release, fallout 76, microtransactions atop FO76, youngblood being paid and riddled with microtransactions, etc.

full pivot

Its quite amazing because EA got hit a lot harder for all that even though everyone else did it after

cinder vessel
#

I think Fallout 76 and Youngblood even happened within the same year, or at the very least, not too far apart

full pivot
#

Which should be the opposite right? Theyve all seen the negative reaction to EA and still did all the same things

So it should be seen as worse

cinder vessel

Dat money's too damn enticing

#

I'm more referencing fan reaction

cinder vessel

Yeah, realized after i responded

As you know I give a larger guilt to gamers about these things than most

Forgiving things like FO76 just doesn't help anyone

Mmhm

full pivot

I walked the walk; I don't buy the games from publishers I dislike

I can't help but think it's the silent majority just not really caring all that much, treating games as disposable or something so they get'em, get burned, move on to the next or something

full pivot
#

I guess I can't really blame em

#

Its not like good games go extinct, and these concepts only really bother me when theres idiotic pitchfork wielding

#

And while with most things I'd say live and let live; I'm judged for having my opinion so its kinda hard to do so

cinder vessel
#

I know that feel...Try talking to nearly anyone about cosmetic microtransactions on paid games 😒

#

"it's only cosmetics" drives me nuts, it's still a scummy business model, especially on a $60 game

#

free to play's that awkward gray area where it's like, well, I guess they gotta make money somehow, but games you paid for already? nah dude

full pivot
#

While it's superior to gameplay related i think people traded that truth for "its fine" because they don't feel like fighting further

#

Maybe thinking devs will put those in Instead and if they rejected them they'd go back to gameplay mtx

#

One thing that's funny to me related to that is what DLC means now

cinder vessel
#

-stares in fallout 76 that just does both, despite saying they wouldn't do gameplay ones-

full pivot
#

Downloadable Content

#

It doesn't even imply paid

#

Hence the term paid DLC

#

But nowadays (i.e. NMS) free DLC isn't even considered DLC

Cuz of that god awful game pre-order pre-order season pass too! Like holy shit planned DLC when its already out, instead of "out game got big lets give more"

Tbh I don't entirely remember when DLC even cropped up, only vaguely recalling it as associated with buying crap.

Prior to DLC games just got updates/patches, which obvs is DLC but the terminology wasn't there yet

full pivot
#

First game I remember it in was Mass Effect I think

cinder vessel
#

And the original paid DLC so to speak, was expansion packs, lol

full pivot
#

Note: I remember

#

Long time ago haha

cinder vessel
#

The silly thing being it's not even really that long ago, but yeah

full pivot
#

Not wishing to get into how old mass effect is but... 14 years 😝

#

2007

cinder vessel
#

I remember a friend trying to hype me up for that, and it went nowhere, lol

full pivot
#

I borrowed my friends Xbox and played through it

#

Cuz it wasn't even out on PC at the time

cinder vessel
#

It really is a hard sell of a game tho imo, without just handing it off to someone

full pivot
#

I mean not for me specifically because I knew bioware for KOTOR and it was a new space ip

cinder vessel
#

Like a friend tried to show me KotOR back in the day, and like...I dunno, it's not the sort of game you show

full pivot
#

Ah see I played it cuz a girl I liked said it was cool and that's all the sale I needed 😊

cinder vessel
#

lol, works

full pivot
#

But yeah I wouldnt be able to sell any game tbh

#

So its hard for me to tell

cinder vessel
#

Reminds me I left a KotOR save awhile ago...

full pivot
#

The Mass Effect thing in may is just a remaster correct?

cinder vessel
#

So for 2 & 3 I think so yeah, but for 1 I believe it's a remake

full pivot
#

Ah

cinder vessel
#

it's just too old 👴

prisma geyser
#

I mean Blizzard is remastering Diablo 2 but for "just a remaster" it looks fucking good

full pivot
#

I wonder how that'll go; there's a lot of cool things they could do to it

prisma geyser
#

then again D2 is 6 years older than ME1

cinder vessel
#

beware tho, Blizzard did recently muck up a remake/remaster recently

prisma geyser
#

oh don't do that

#

I want to belieeeeeeve

cinder vessel
#

i managed to pass right over diablo and go into starcraft instead

prisma geyser
#

probably sunk 2000h into D2LoD

cinder vessel
#

but then they fuckin' butchered starcraft 2 with modern business model bs

full pivot
#

One thing they absolutely need to remove is the "I take over the galaxy" ending in me1

#

Because it goes nowhere

cinder vessel
#

lol

#

i also have a me1 save left in progress...

winter yew
cinder vessel
#

some of it's genuine focus issues on my part, but also there's not that much i've reached in bioware games that acts as enough of a hook to keep me going

full pivot
#

I have an me2 one rn

#

But ill just wait until the remaster thing now I guess

cinder vessel
#

dragon age: origins is the only bioware title i can think of where i just got frustrated and stopped playing, lol

full pivot
#

That was my experience

cinder vessel
#

I got to some fight that felt downright unfair, as I recall

full pivot
#

People are all like "mass effect dead make more dragon age" and I'm like yawn oh boy another fantasy ip

#

Like there's honestly not much that felt compelling about Dragon Age as a world

cinder vessel
#

see, that's the weird thing for me, of the bioware stuff i've played, their own IPs genuinely kinda just feel like a mashup of other popular works without much of their own identity

full pivot
#

But I'm very biased I'm not as much a fan of fantasy settings

prisma geyser
#

is the Dead Space franchise any good? I only finished the first one and then I hear it got weird

cinder vessel
#

which in some respect, given their original games, i guess kinda makes sense

full pivot
#

Dead Space 3 is at the height of every EA game is the same

cinder vessel
#

Dead Space 1 & 2 are typically considered the highlights

#

With 3 being the eehh

#

So yeah, what Aethena said

full pivot
#

They just turned it into a 3rd person shooter

crisp sparrow
#

play Dead Space 1 and 2 they're great fun

#

especially in harder difficulties which makes it a shooter puzzle game in order to conserve ammo

cinder vessel
#

...It just hit me, I don't think I actually have either of those. thonk

prisma geyser
#

neither do I, played the first one on Xbox and then promptly forgot about the series after my 360 got stolen

crisp sparrow
#

meanwhile I couldnt stand even two minutes into metro 2033

#

unless it just has a crappy intro

#

idk I just cant really get into shooter games

cinder vessel
#

depends on my mood for sure, when i just wanna blam blam they're good for that

crisp sparrow
#

I've never had this mood

cinder vessel
#

it's kinda like wanting to vent or something

crisp sparrow
#

my gaming moods have always been to do fake chores

prisma geyser
#

when I want to play shooters I boot up Sniper Elite 4 lol

crisp sparrow
#

or hack n slash

#

guns just never felt fun to me

prisma geyser
#

has run and gun mechanics but most of it's just hitting headshots from insane distances

crisp sparrow
#

bows however

#

fun

full pivot
#

If I want ultraviolence nothing beats original Doom still

prisma geyser
#

Doom 3 for modern flavor ultraviolence imo, but I can respect the OG Doom for it as well

crisp sparrow
#

even when I played pubg mobile for a few months I always liked being a sniper just for the mental math I'd do to get good shots

full pivot
#

New Doom BugSleepy

cinder vessel
#

i can't shoot worth a damn in multiplayer FPS games, or rather, i just get killed before i can even try 💀

prisma geyser
#

Doom 3 is like 2009 I thought lol

crisp sparrow
#

I was good at it because most indians sucked at it lmao

#

I would otherwise die within seconds in apex legends

#

and csgo

cinder vessel
#

yeeeahh

crisp sparrow
#

I do not have the quick reflexes to survive

cinder vessel
#

if i'm gonna die repeatedly like that, i'll just play a roguelike, lmao

crisp sparrow
#

but with pubg mobile I'd also play with my group of friends, they'd do the rampaging while I'd take cover and try to find good enough sniper weapons

#

I dont remember the names now

prisma geyser
cinder vessel
#

loop hero is the latest hotness and it's well deserved tbh

#

it's like dark cloud meets roguelike

#

but also sealed ampoule is weird af coolness

#

like you get to a point where you consolidate the early dungeon floors into a farm and zip through to the deeper dungeon floors

prisma geyser
#

I still can't get the hang of Risk of Rain
