other-games

[wispy loom]

well they got some well deserved backlash like 4 months before relase about it being live service so they had to rush to change what was there as best they could

still can't believe the game had a 10 year cycle (need someone to confirm that for me)

[serene basin]

doesn't helldivers 2 come with a rootkit drm/anticheat

[drifting kernel]

Yeah but privacy omegalul

And valorant

[serene basin]

yeah I still take it seriously and I don't play shit ass game valo

[civic quail]

I was gonna say, it's likely little changed in that time. If there was truly a 10 year cycle, 4 months sounds like a drop in the bucket time wise

[wispy loom]

allegedly it was pitched in 2010 and was being developed in 2012

[civic quail]

Also fuck that's a remarkably long time to develop a game. Didn't Fallout 4 take like 8 years?

[wispy loom]

depends on the game and scope

[civic quail]

Yeah that's true. However, in reference to Kill The Justice League, that likely wasn't a good thing. If it was developed for 10 years, and ended up being a modern live service model, it likely was redone and revised numerous times. Sounds like a lot of wasted recourses

[wispy loom]

yeah, development hell, like duke nukem forever

baldur's gate 3 brainstorming started around the end of development of divinity original sin 2

[civic quail]

That makes me wonder what the game was originally envisioned to be like

[wispy loom]

my guess would be something closer to gotham knights?

even leaning harder towards the batman arkham games

[civic quail]

Agreed. Although, Gotham Knights sucked hard as well. A more Artham esc game would have been neat tho

[wispy loom]

maybe at first they envisioned soemthing like world war Z or vermintide

you've got a home base and you launch missions that are in set maps

[civic quail]

Honestly, despite its flaws, I feel like WWZ had some potential. Didn't scratch the L4D itch, but was still really cathartic

[bitter granite]

10 seconds to google

[civic quail]

So still really 7 to 8 years 😭

Roughly*

[wispy loom]

my bad, that was a different suicide squad game made by rocksteady that was cancelled in 2016. I'd be surprised if nothing was held over, would be a waste of resources

[serene basin]

does that include preproduction though

[bitter granite]

Assuming game develop is similar to film I would assume so

Pre production we usually count as part of the development time for our films

[onyx loom]

what are dc paying you

[bitter granite]

Am I not allow to enjoy a game?

[limpid sequoia]

Screw it. Bloons 4

[onyx loom]

enjoying ≠ defending

[bitter granite]

Truly bloon

5 or 6, which do I get

[limpid sequoia]

5

Personally I prefer 5

Btd6 kills my phones battery and the weird angled perspective messes with me

Also I can’t tell what’s going on and they made it extremly hard to go late game.

Meanwhile

[bitter granite]

Which should I get for console

[limpid sequoia]

On Xbox?

[bitter granite]

Was going to get 5 for my phone since my friends play it on mobile

[bitter granite]

Yea

[limpid sequoia]

I’m no expert on the matter. But if you’re all about co-op then I’d get mobile version

However!!! On console versions you can use Dpad to do pixel adjustments for placing towers

Which is awesome

also theres hotkeys for stuff on console

[bitter granite]

I like coop on mobile games but prefer single player on Xbox

Still try to convince my friends to play the soul knight games with me

Even one of my favorite mobile games for ages and they are finally testing with online multiplayer, no more local multiplayer

I also just want a reason to play priest who is online good in multiplayer

You have no good damage skills with her all of your stuff is just team support

[limpid sequoia]

Fun fact. Btd5 is on Nintendo switch

And. I bought it a while back. It’s super fun. However.
l a g

The game starts lagging by wave 50

By wave 200, 1 wave lasts like 8 whole minutes due to the game slowing down

[bitter granite]

Yea why I’m mostly sticking to single player stuff on my switch since I don’t like lag and feel like any little move will make the switch go into overtime

Mostly just getting it for the digimon story and digimon world games

[limpid sequoia]

Never use absolute zero ice monkey if you are playing on switch version

Absolute zero spawns 3 projectiles for each bloon in its radius. There is no cap to how many projectiles it can spawn. Thus massive lag spikes

Nerd emoji ^^^^^^

[bitter granite]

@limpid sequoia pick my character

Yes that is the beheaded from dead cells, no I will not play them

[limpid sequoia]

No disrespect but I have no clue what game that is. And no idea who those characters are

[bitter granite]

Just pick the coolest looking one

The game is soul knights, probably my favorite it roguelike

[limpid sequoia]

Whichever one you are standing closest to

[bitter granite]

That’s all of them

[limpid sequoia]

Dude I don’t know

Left one.
(???????)))

[bitter granite]

They need to add a randomize button with how many characters they have now

Back in my days we had 5, now I don’t know how many

[bitter granite]

Most left is this guy

Did just unlock him so way not

Think he is the most joke character in the game

He is now my main once I unlock this skin

[hoary thistle]

He’s the most braindead easy win character.

[bitter granite]

Yes looking at his skill sounds like it

Than again I can’t complain since I main alchemist

Throw my potion and run away

[hoary thistle]

Alchemist ain’t great, sadly.

[bitter granite]

Been clearing high levels easily with them

[hoary thistle]

The best abilities are usually modifiers.

[bitter granite]

Gas grenade just does so much damage quick

Been trying physicist and honestly not enjoying her

[hoary thistle]

A surprising amount of the payed characters aren’t good.

[bitter granite]

Sword master or warliege may be the next one I play

[bitter granite]

Honestly didn’t expect them to be, most just seem like for fun characters

fuck you druid

Wait forgot Druid got reworked

[hoary thistle]

I think he still sucks.

[bitter granite]

Wolves seem better but still not great

[hoary thistle]

I swear terraria is the only game where summoners are viable.

[bitter granite]

Soul knight prequel

Been playing heretic and the minions do all the work

Normal animancer is whatever but pyro + ani goes crazy

[hoary thistle]

Yeah my little brother just got animancer, sadly heretic seems so much better than the other two options.

[bitter granite]

May not like playing her but I will still simp for her

What is up with new character have 10 crit

[hoary thistle]

Nah, taoist has a certain skin. (And Druid has a “good” skin, lol)

[bitter granite]

Trap master makes me feel a certain way

Including his zodiac skin

My most played are alchemist, engineer, and trap master

Love classes that can conjure things

[hoary thistle]

I just use the starting dude, air bender, assassin, costume prince, and then I just randomly use the others.

[bitter granite]

My husband

[bitter granite]

Fun run

Went to 4-6 on normal

Get some quick and easy coins

[serene basin]

finally got around to beating cocoon

great game

not as challenging as i expected but thats probably for the best since you have to manually carry orbs around and making it more complicated would just be tiresome

still highly recommend

[unkempt moss]

What game is that?

[bitter granite]

Soul Knight

Mobile roguelike

[unkempt moss]

noted

[bitter granite]

Time for some badass runs with engineer

[drifting kernel]

6

[serene basin]

yes 6

it's like 5 except better in every way

[bitter ridge]

Noticed btd6 talk, pc console and mobile can play together iirc

[wispy loom]

yeah you just need a code

4 player cross platform boss Benjamin only

[bitter ridge]

nah i'll keep my jiangshi sauda

[drifting kernel]

Voidora, jiangshi sauda, galaxili, eepy etn >>>>>>

[bitter granite]

@hoary thistle give me a character to max out next

[bitter ridge]

On what

[bitter granite]

Soul Knight

[bitter ridge]

Uhhhh rogue

[bitter granite]

Done, next

[bitter ridge]

What are classes are there? I haven’t played it in ages

[bitter granite]

Classes be:
Knight, Paladin, Rogue, Wizard, Miner, Druid, Elf, Vampire, Air bender, Assassin, Alchemist,!Physicist, Berserker, Werewolf, Priest, Necromancer, Demonmancer, Trap Master, Warliege, Sword Master, Lancer, Officer, Taoist, Robot, Engineer

Oh and Costume Prince

[bitter ridge]

Do werewolf

[bitter granite]

Daddy Wolf

[bitter ridge]

Things truly have changed since the last time I played that

[spare oak]

now go get the secret ending without spoilers

I gave up on not spoiling myself (of how to get it) because it is some seriously hard stuff

[serene basin]

fuckk secret ending?

do i just fuck around until i figure out what im supposed to do

i already uninstalled because i was satisfied with the experience but if its something i can get a hint on starting then sure

[spare oak]

It's really just an extra cutscene that doesn't clarify anything and only adds to confusion

If you enjoy a mind numbing possibly multi hour puzzle then sure

[serene basin]

oh good the base game was too straightforward narratively

no im good

lol

i did enough carrying little balls around

[spare oak]

I recommend just watching a youtube video of the ending

[serene basin]

okay ill check it out

[loud saffron]

la mulana players:

[spare oak]

the way you get the secret ending is some 90's video game bs pretty much

[serene basin]

guh

fuck that mess

cool that its there though

[spare oak]

you gotta somehow derive multiple numeric codes from environmental hints

I only managed to find out 2 of the 5 codes on my own

takes a lot of pattern recognition and out of the box thinking to solve

I imagine that's why it doesn't give an achievement for it

[serene basin]

im watrching the video what da hell how are you supposed to have picked up on these clues

so much of the background is esoteric nonsense like this

[spare oak]

the one in the swamp I noticed it had to do with red on the pillars

[serene basin]

the art design is so next level but picking out specific stuff like this seems arbitrary

but yeah i do see it now that its pointed out

fuck youuuu

[spare oak]

ikr

[serene basin]

YEAH OKAY

in case you missed it;
Ubisoft hosted a $10,000 Prince of Persia Speedrun Competition, and have now patched the game to get rid of the skips people used to compete.
Essentially, they used speedrunners as free QA testers.

Twitter · Feb 12, 2024, 1:36 PM

[spare oak]

that one was stupid because I was thinking the little pillars on the ends of the platforms were what I needed to look at but no

[serene basin]

but then this isnt anything

theres patterns everywhere

[loud saffron]

kinda trolling lmao

[serene basin]

this is 90s logic puzzle shi

[serene basin]

free=$10000

[spare oak]

for one of them I have an image I made

this one was easier to understand

its like music notes beind the lower dots represent smaller numbers

[serene basin]

yeah i was wondering if there was going to be any note puzzles

since the little things you touch make notes

[serene basin]

yeah i just got to this part in the video lol

[spare oak]

thats one of the ones I found out

the other was the swamp one

[serene basin]

yeah the pillars seemed like the most obvious so far

[surreal brook]

this gives off major signalis vibes

signalis but if it was depixelified

and with some different main character

i mean i guess theres potentially infinity of elsters

this one couldve just had a lighter hair

[serene basin]

i just watched it lmfao what even

[serene basin]

its really different visually

[surreal brook]

its like if nowhere was less bloody

and the graphics were less pixelated

[spare oak]

Um multiverses I guess.

Fractals

[serene basin]

yeah sure why not

[spare oak]

I honestly wish the game was longer

The puzzles are very unique

[serene basin]

they need a hard mode campaign like portal

which i know is basically like remaking the whole thing but still

none of the puzzles took me more than a couple minutes to figure out

but i think it was really well telegraphed visually since there was no text

and i was able to figure out all the rules and capabilities organically

[spare oak]

they need to do a sequel where all the spheres do different stuff

[serene basin]

helps that its a one button game

i dont think i would have enjoyed it as much if there were more mechanics

its like solar ash for me where i really love the simple core concept but which they had expanded the actual challenges a bit

[spare oak]

yeah

[serene basin]

since youre good at puzzle games have you tried portal reloaded

[spare oak]

Im only average at puzzle games id say

[serene basin]

if you say so

im not very good at puzzle games either but you were picking up on stuff i didnt even think about

so idk i just figured

[spare oak]

There was a guide for that secret ending in cocoon that gave tips on how to solve it without giving blatant answers

[serene basin]

ahhh

[hoary thistle]

Base knight or the new guy. (Base character is absurdly good with a rapid fire weapon and his final)

[bitter granite]

I remember when he was one of the worse characters now he is stupid powerful

[bitter granite]

Warliege is newest right?

[hoary thistle]

Yep

[bitter granite]

Honestly, not liking werewolf

Probably because I’m so use to armor heavy characters

If their games released on any other consoles, then no one would ever buy their consoles

For 50$ you get 5 mechs, 2 infantry units, stat cards for all of them, a short story, a primer book, 2 d6, a weapon reference sheet, internals panels, the core rules, a map of the inner sphere, 2 battle mats and some pop-out terrain features and mechs

For 50 warhammer dollars you get 1 faction codex

[civic quail]

God I need to play more of this game. I played the original Persona 3 in anticipation, and despised much of the older gameplay loop; especially for Tartarus. However, this seems eons better

[fringe trout]

the only part i dont like is probably when the school nurse is the one teaching for the day, i just fast forward through the text and use the network feature for the answer instead

and that one moment i had with a golden hand on the third block of tartarus but i've been catching them pretty easily since then

[civic quail]

It's silly, but seeing these golden hands has really been making me think about Persona 4, and how I'm really looking forward to its eventual remake. People have argued it's unnecessary and redundant, and I can see their argument, but there are a number of small things about the game I could see being improved

None of the royal knights are bugs

[bitter ridge]

Then it is likely dragon

Most are dragon related

One of their powers is literally that they have the powers of a dragon

Wanted to play helldivers 2 but then I saw the invasive kernel Anticheat

[bitter ridge]

Me when valo does the same thing

[loud saffron]

add invasive anticheat
cheaters bypass it anyways (lol!)

[bitter ridge]

Cheating In something like helldivers makes no sense considering pvp is not viable

[wraith owl]

I don’t want a game to have such access to my computer

[wispy loom]

it's because in the first game people cheated in stuff that would be bought in the store, it's frustrating but the corporate overlords like money

[loud saffron]

giving yourself premium currency, or making bot swarms to fuck with people

[wraith owl]

I won’t be buying hd2 until they make the anticheat less invasive

one reason makes sense, the other is like putting a glass dome around your piggy bank

honestly good textures are really nice, you go back to a 2014 game and you start noticing things you'd rather not

[glass marten]

The stickers here are awesome

[steady spoke]

I've also got the 5 game pass PC trials

[vocal gull]

how much

Completely random, but Terraria single-handedly surpasses all other games in terms of inventory management with just one button.
I know there are about three other options to improve storage, but even without those, only the 'inventory sort' button makes it the best.
When I say surpassing all other games, I'm talking about those with inventories similar to Minecraft and Scrap Mechanic.

Your inventory becomes a visual labyrinth each time you wanna find something in any of the 2 games
Scrap mechanic is the worst at it because not only it lacks that golden function that terraria has, but the stack managment is awful

In Terraria, if you want to take 17 of a block from a bigger stack, you keep pressed m2, it will start taking 1 by 1 of that stack and will increment the speed in which it does until you drop the button, so If you ever need to take more than 200 blocks, you wouldn't be wating with your mouse half a minute, and if you need only 4, you can adjust the speed by releasing the click
In minecraft how ever, it will always take a rounded half of the stack, if you wanna take 17 blocks of a 64 stack, you can either divide the stack in 4 and then add 1 block to one of them, or grab half the stack and click m2, click by click you'll be dropping the blocks in the slot. Slower and more... say 'rustic'(?) than Terraria, but it isn't a pain

Let me tell you
that if you want to Grab 120 blocks from a 256 stack
You will have to grab block by block until separating the 120 from the 256
Update: I've just tested out that you can also use middle click to grab half a stack from something. Similar to minecraft. But given the fact that there is no way to find that out (not even in the keybinds config) and I have 438 hours in that game, it stills comes out as un-intuitive and hidden so... kinda the same as the strike out part...

[bitter ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/too-long-i-decline-to-read-it-book-throw-tldr-gif-11480614

[vocal gull]

not only that, but the numbers also matter a lot
terraria stacks? up to 9999 of all that's stackable (somethings have special stack limits tho)
Minecraft? everything at the power of 2, most stacks of things being 64, if not 16
Scrap mechanic? a fucking mess. There are max stacks of 10, max of 20, max of 5 or 4 even, max of 256

[digital hamlet]

The revenge of the anti-intellectualism

Inventory systems are extremely important for game design

[vocal gull]

Terraria easy to take 16 from a 9999 stack, keep m2 pressed
Minecraft not so easy but is not a pain in the ass, divide stacks into halfs
Scrap Mechanic is a pain in the ass, block by block if you don't know or don't have middle click

[vocal gull]

this shit right here are facts

[vocal gull]

Scrap mechanic numbers are a mess

so you can't manage max quantities of nothing

[vocal gull]

That's why terraria rocks

https://tenor.com/view/terraria-npc-design-gif-22891538

[bitter ridge]

I have mc and terraria, I know how they work

[vocal gull]

but you have scrap mechanic?!!?!

[bitter ridge]

No I don’t

[vocal gull]

jaque mate

[vocal gull]

I was going to ask wdym by anti-intellectualism but now i sorta get it

[digital hamlet]

Anti-intellectualism is unironically posting “☝️🤓” as a response

[near sentinel]

what is #other-games yapping about

[vocal gull]

or "I ain't readin' allat'?

[vocal gull]

bout inventory management and storage

[near sentinel]

I always suck in that regard i'm a horader

[digital hamlet]

Only thing is terraria only has like 30-40 slots and the number of unique item types is going wayyyy up

[vocal gull]

so each individual item will take a slot in the inv

and not stack
and will be ass to carry around

[digital hamlet]

👍

[bitter ridge]

Unless you have journey mode or a crap load of chests at your base at spawn

[digital hamlet]

me slightly nudging a tree accidentally and picking up four wood types and three minor buff fruits

[vocal gull]

and a good storaging arragement cause if you decide to put 2 different things in the same chest it will f'up the storage

[bitter ridge]

Magic storage mod helps too

[vocal gull]

what does it do?

[bitter ridge]

You can set up cells for specific items and you have a singular point you can dump stuff into for it to auto sort ||I could be wrong, don’t wuote me on it||

[vocal gull]

interesting, I would like to see that in action

[digital hamlet]

Magic storage mod is basically necessary for every modded run

It basically functions like one really massive chest you can search through (with the cells they mentioned providing the storage space)
Also if you put a crafting one down you can consolidate every table into one block, as well as use the storage systems inventory to craft (with a wayyyy better ui than vanilla crafting)

[near sentinel]

Terraria on it's way to add an armor type for each variant of wood

[bitter ridge]

There are different wood armors

[digital hamlet]

Fargos soul mod players when a new wood type is added (the tree is becoming larger)

[bitter ridge]

I use that mod

With calam

[vocal gull]

oh that's a cool one! I would love to see better UI examples, specially with inventory
and maybe have one implemented in scrap mechanic... say

[digital hamlet]

1600 recipe crafting tree be like

[near sentinel]

Calamity Players on phase 5 out of 15 of calamitus the soul eater, king of gods, son of man

[digital hamlet]

(Do not use with calamity. Bad idea)

[digital hamlet]

Is this supposed to be ironic
This pretty much happens word for word

[near sentinel]

introduce a friend to "vanilla" Terraria, but have calamity installed secretly

[bitter ridge]

Stars above as well (using journey remember)

[digital hamlet]

(Well, supreme calamitus instead of calamitus)

[near sentinel]

Calamity is just like that huh?
I haven't played it but I know of like 2 of the bosses

[digital hamlet]

Anime mod…

[vocal gull]

uuu talkin bout that

progression
terraria peak... the only thing wrong is getting the best gear at the end of the game only to not being able to use it against something stronger. I sometimes wonder if there is a game with 'better' features than terraria in terms of sandbox progression or inventory management... maybe i'm being blinded cause of the game's so shining glory
Scrap mechanic vanilla teaches you what is hard work
Scrap mechanic crashlander mod teaches you what is actual hardwork and also adds wedges so it teaches the devs what is hard work

minecraft goes dead wrong AF.
Take armor for example, You can get the third best armor in the game in a matter of 10 minutes, no resistence at all.
And let's assume that leather armor is meant to be made first somewhat... IS HARDER TO MAKE THAT! The proportions of what you do and what you get is unbalanced, getting the worst armor is harder than getting one of the bests?
The same for the tools with little to no improvement rather than durability... and btw, you can sort that out with mending... and not needing it for beating the game either...
You can't beat terraria with fuckin' molten gear
You can't ... do a lot of stuff in scrap mechanic without investing resources into better machines
YOU CAN WIN MINECRAFT WITH BARE ARMOR AND BEDS.

[vocal gull]

then they go in a new run and ask why summoner sucks

and where are the waifus

[digital hamlet]

Well, you can beat terraria with a lawnmower

[bitter ridge]

I mained mage but I’m trying melee in my current run

[vocal gull]

well uh I wasn't updated in that kind of uhh...
at least is more mechanical than a bed

[near sentinel]

I did mage once
it was alright I guess

[vocal gull]

I can't do a run without going summoner on god I love summoning little things to kill bigger things

[digital hamlet]

Beating minecraft with beds is cool game design actually

A bit too easy but it’s cool

[near sentinel]

it's like beating calamity ganon with sticks

[bitter ridge]

You haven’t used the grey zap gun with meteor armor have you

[digital hamlet]

Anyway noita best sandbox progression

Not really sandbox, but like… it’s got sand

[near sentinel]

I don't like sand

it's coarse, rough..and gets' everywhere

[vocal gull]

is the world size limited?

[vocal gull]

funniest weapon

this is a fun description

[digital hamlet]

So you know the minecraft far lands

[vocal gull]

that comes from crash lander mod

[vocal gull]

ye

[digital hamlet]

||pretty much that again||

technically a spoiler but like
it's literally figuratively impossible to play noita without spoilers

[vocal gull]

well one creative take is the artifact hints on the wiki page of ROR2

but like... no one puts the work on it

I would try to make wiki's as spoilerless as posible

I for example, feel that any new enemy or creature that I find I must experiment it

Don't wanna see a gameplay, see and say "oh, that thing is in the game at this moment" and then see his ahh design in that game and in that moment

I wanna go arround and BOOM WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?$e"

[digital hamlet]

Noita is a wildly different case to that
the base mechanics are pretty absurdly difficult to figure out on your own without explanation, let alone the secrets (some of which are still unsolved)

[vocal gull]

either way, as it is not in a box due to the existence of this, it is not a sandbox

[digital hamlet]

well the sand itself is in a box

kinda

[vocal gull]

Ohh i wanna make games like that

only the second part of that actually, that first thing sucks

[digital hamlet]

noita is a testament to the insanity of the Finnish

[vocal gull]

It feels like that one time a friend of mine that mods the fuck out of everything decided to start an 'RPG' run in terraria with 'RPG' mods and 'Skilltrees'

[vocal gull]

what the fuck goes in finnland

[digital hamlet]

fun fact one of the devs is the baba is you guy

[vocal gull]

not only the UI was fucked up, the mods step each other over and that was like a chaothic mess

2 peoples may had play with those mods and it was my ass and that guy

[vocal gull]

god damn

[near sentinel]

Ultrakill
Noita
....Linux

[digital hamlet]

wandcrafting is a lot like drag and drop programming

[vocal gull]

'Ok so basically you have to first learn the 'language of the magicians' to do all kinds of spells!' and the fucking game goes and throws a 4 hour read of c ++ but it's all cased in the game through the UI so it's just a programming API but disguised as a game

and it changes programming key words with magic soundin' stuff

damn imagine that

[vocal gull]

either way idk if that's cool? or not? cause I hadn't see it but also by just thinking I can say 'it kinda sucks for a game' and also 'waos I can do whathever'

[digital hamlet]

image 1 shoots a bullet
image 2 shoots a fast bullet

this shoots you to a parallel universe ||not a joke||

[near sentinel]

funny

[vocal gull]

who said witch crafting was easy?

[digital hamlet]

note: i have no clue how it works
half the stuff in there should just kill you instantly

anyway, the reason the inventory system works is because there's no reason to carry around garbage

plus there are things you can do to compromise (i.e using wands for storage)

[vocal gull]

waos

[vocal gull]

wdym reason?

I have top scored as a Medic in TF2, yesterday. And no, I didn't go battle medic.

Anyways, off to queue into bot lobbies for 3 hours straight again /,:

[near sentinel]

Medic top scoring is funny to me

Let’s take dustbowl for example

I’ve seen top scoring medics with upwards of 130+ points

And they don’t have 1 kill

[bitter granite]

I wonder where the Digimon could be hiding, must be a expert at hide and seek

[serene basin]

I think it's a really boring derivative setting and too rules heavy as a ttrpg

[wispy loom]

every fantasy setting ever is extremely derivative from LotR. name one non-rules heavy TTRPG

[serene basin]

1. not true + guh
2. trophy gold

like I said earlier I'm not an RPG kind of guy anyway so the less fucking about in textbooks instead of playing my DMs game I do the more fun I have

[flint anvil]

Medic: The worst your team is, the better you are (according to the game)

[serene basin]

I know part of my issue with dnd is that all the unique stuff that isn't derivative of tolkien or lovecraft or whatever has been ripped off by every other hack "classic fantasy" setting so I'm sick of that too

also cringe race science

[spare oak]

Yeah and

D&d started the ttrpg

Can you really fault it for being generic?

Also with any huge franchise it becomes hard to write new things because you have to fit it into the universe

[serene basin]

sort of

[serene basin]

yes

[serene basin]

yes

[spare oak]

D&d is what it’s meant to be in my eyes, if you want something different there’s always other rpgs like pathfinder

[serene basin]

yeah

[wispy loom]

I recently played a pathfinder session and it was so awesome

[spare oak]

Hell there’s even Warhammer

(Not 40k)

[wispy loom]

I prefer that ruleset by alot, but DnD still has that simplistic and "familiar" way of going

[bitter granite]

Emberwind fun

[serene basin]

what's that

oh aye

ttrpg

[digital hamlet]

Dnd haters when they realize you can make your own setting and dm style
Every good campaign in any ttrpg is gonna have homebrew anyway

[serene basin]

thats what makes me hate it more

oh yeah if you don't like it just make your own game!!!

[digital hamlet]

There is no ‘vanilla’ setting, I don’t know what you mean
If you’re talking about the sword coast/forgotten realms , only like 30% of the modules use that

[serene basin]

I'm talking about the players handbook lol

like the actual dnd setting and rules

[near sentinel]

DnD players when it's time to imagine having fun

[digital hamlet]

The player’s handbook is useful for the gameplay, but it has next to no bearing on the story

[serene basin]

story doesn't come into it

[digital hamlet]

Then your dm sucked lol

[serene basin]

setting and gameplay are what I'm talking about

[digital hamlet]

Read story as setting

[serene basin]

that's not what a story is

I just don't find the setting interesting

[digital hamlet]

To clarify, the player’s handbook has no bearing on the setting either

It gives a few template classes

[wispy loom]

I think the way one is introduced to a setting has alot of bearing on one's innitial enjoyment. I had next to no knowledge on DnD before watching jocat's videos and then playing BG3, and both of those are great ways to get into it

[serene basin]

no? lol it has all the info about character building, races, magic, combat, leveling, gods, creatures, equipment, etc

[digital hamlet]

The character stuff can be incredibly easily reflavored and rebalanced, and anything that isn’t tied to that is pretty much pointless in a lot of campaigns

If you think the setting for the campaign is bad, it’s not the book’s fault

I’ll admit I’m a bit spoiled by Brennan Lee Mulligan’s campaigns

[bitter granite]

Me on my way to make up a new spell, ofc my dm approved it I’m the dm

[tidal raven]

And then you have me
Who uses the genericness as an excuse to create bizzare characters
Wanna play this Owlin Armorer Artificer I made

Theres also this Sea Elf bard I have that feeds into my unhealthy obsession with sea related characters

[serene basin]

I will put it this way: there is nothing that is unique to dnd that compels me. if I have to download or make a bunch of overhaul mods and play co-op with a friend to make a game fun then it doesn't mean much for the game itself

[leaden juniper]

It exists as a game you can only play coop your second point means nothing

"why do I have to play with friends with a game designed to be coop"

[wispy loom]

BG3 is also a stellar experience both solo and with friends

[serene basin]

not what I said plus it means that I'm spending time with friends which is a free space

[leaden juniper]

Dnd is essentially a blank slate for you to do as you will

[serene basin]

then why is the player book like 200 pages

[leaden juniper]

It has rules but the main rule in the dms guide is to basically just do what's fun

[serene basin]

oh just ignore all that and make your own game

[leaden juniper]

They act as guidelines not the breaking point

[bitter ridge]

I never read that handbook when I first played

[serene basin]

which again says nothing about dnd

only indicative of your dm

[leaden juniper]

I've been playing for multiple years and have never needed to read it

Only occasionally glancing at a spell

[serene basin]

what about it sets it apart from any other ttrpg

if the appeal is just having the DM make everything up

[leaden juniper]

It's one of the oldest alot of things take from it

It was released in 1977

[serene basin]

that is not what I asked though

[bitter ridge]

You can use tons of settings for it, cyberpunk to fantasy to space stuff, 40k doesn’t have that option

[serene basin]

yeah you can make up your own game

you can do that with other ttrpgs

or just play a cyberpunk ttrpg lol

or sci fi

[bitter ridge]

There’s no winning you over

[serene basin]

yeah I know idk what this even is lol

I'm not an RPG guy to begin with and nothing about dnd as a setting interests me anyway

and I think that "just make everything up yourself" is not much of a sell

also still cringe race science

[bitter ridge]

What does that even mean

[bitter granite]

^

[bitter ridge]

It might be related to how some folks Minmax their pcs via choosing select races but idk

[serene basin]

no like certain sapeing races having ontological temperament and morality

[bitter ridge]

Those are just base marks, you can make your pc how you please

[serene basin]

I don't mean about character building I mean from a world building perspective

having an evil race is weird as hell

plus it often turns into a planet of hats situation

which is just boring

[digital hamlet]

Jeremy crawford: “All goblins must be chaotic evil and if you give them any semblance of individual personality or unique motivations I will personally come to your house and force feed you dice”

In the forgotten realms, where species-based alignments like those come from, there are reasons for that (orcs being created and possessed by an evil god)

[serene basin]

that doesn't make it better but yes yes just fix it yourself

[digital hamlet]

The whole point is to write a story anyway, why are you upset that you have to write parts of the story
It sounds like you just want a dm to run modules

[bitter ridge]

think of it as dough, you mold it into what you want

[wispy loom]

and larian made the best bread out of that dough that most people have ever tasted

[bitter ridge]

the other baldurs are good too, crpgs rather than turn based tho

if they weren't good then larian had no need to make the 3rd

[crisp hound]

Bg3 is so fucking good

It absolutely deserved goty

[wispy loom]

real time with pause can be a pain but it's also fun

[bitter ridge]

Funny time stop mages

[serene basin]

upset? literally all I'm saying is that I don't like dnd lol

[bitter ridge]

ttrpgs aren't your thing at all clearly, mostly an fps guy i take it?

[vocal gull]

You would be straight up vomiting when you saw that interface and how stuff in the UI suffered:
-Displacement or overlap with other interface elements
-Mixed proportions for similar buttons or slots
-Redundant uses (example, having similar things to do the same as vanilla [ie: inventory slots])
-Inconsistent UI design, both mechanically and visual (IDK what the fuck they were thinking that they were programming, some kind of mod for another game??)
God if I had a screenshot of how it looked like I would show it

that shi' looked like only pure concept, but was used as final released

[serene basin]

sometimes

platformers puzzlers td rhythm

[vocal gull]

Mhm, maybe you like rougelike games too! like... there is one that's called "risk of rain", idk if you heard about it

[serene basin]

I'll check it out sounds stupid though

[vocal gull]

yeah, they tend to do jokes with that but honestly is a pretty good game!

wonder if they have a discord...

[serene basin]

doubt it dead game

[digital hamlet]

Okay, why do you not like that you have to write story

[serene basin]

I don't mind that at all I'm just saying that that has nothing to do with what makes dnd dnd

you can write a story or campaign set in any universe with any rules

I don't care for the setting or gameplay of dnd

the funny

[glass marten]

Funny story guys! Just got banned from three different geometry dash servers in one week for various reasons

Please dont ban me here too

[limpid sequoia]

pinky promise

[glass marten]

You would pinky promise to not ban me?

[limpid sequoia]

perhaps.

[glass marten]

Ok i changed my pfp cuz that made a lot of people mad elsewhere

[serene basin]

don't get yourself banned?

[glass marten]

Trueeee

Should’ve thought of that

[serene basin]

you got cat pfp so youre good

for now..

[atomic spear]

Wow biased

[civic quail]

How the hell did you manage that?? 😭

[glass marten]

Um so the first one was a large misunderstanding

The second one was (please dont ban me) transphobia, homophobia and tomfoolery

The third one was because i was transphobic in the second one

Tbh the first one is a really long story, and im sad i got banned because it was my personal favorite server

If you wanna hear it just say smth and ill write the wall of text

[glass marten]

I have so many cat pictures

[serene basin]

man what

why wouldn't I ban you

[glass marten]

Zamn im not though

Please dont make it the fourth server this week im not transphobic

[serene basin]

lol I won't until you actually do something

[glass marten]

Thank goodness

You wont see me sayin nuttin about lgbtq here

Now that that’s out of the way wanna see more cats

@serene basin what do you say? More cats?

Is there actually like a channel meant for pictures of other people’s cats or do i just send a lot in #pet-pics

[serene basin]

general chat is fine for cat pics just don't spam

pet pics is for oc only

[glass marten]

Okie

[limpid sequoia]

we're not but like, as long as you aint throwing that around we good

[bitter granite]

I just want to know why did we need to know this

[limpid sequoia]

to each their own ig

[bitter ridge]

Good question

[lofty glade]

is so cute

[leaden juniper]

Then why have you been banned from 3 servers for transphobia

I'm gonna be honest this seems like a cope

[bitter ridge]

[digital hamlet]

Some people just have actively harmful senses of humor I guess

[bitter granite]

Me when targeting a certain group of people is funny

trust me it was

[limpid sequoia]

if they got banned from 3 possibly unrelated servers, they're just doin it on purpose lmao

thats assuming they warned them too

Wish Digimon had more token but for now we get creative

Token replaces a Digimon that I give my opponent for my Digimon to eat at anytime so food it is

the guns actually look stellar to fire, look at that feedback!

[bitter ridge]

Ah the explosive version of the stock AR

[spare oak]

and now for gameplay of one of the worst rated games on steam (It's not as bad as people say)

[bitter ridge]

What is it exactly

[bitter granite]

Gundam gaming

[bitter ridge]

Oh, if its evo then the don’t recs might be due to it getting shutdown

[spare oak]

its not evo

it's mobile suit gundam battle opperation 2

its rated bad because it had a rough launch and people expected too much out of a port of a game primarily aimed at a super niche market
