leaden rampart
#

sullen comet
#

Yea I found that model for 240$

leaden rampart
#

oh nice

slate lava
#

The wacoms look pretty nice

#

I’ve got some experience with photoshop/illustrator, do they work well with that?

tardy anchor
#

tbh i think tabletting helps so much w like...getting ur art out there bc it makes ur stuff look neater

#

idk i only use firealpaca lol

sullen comet
#

Amazon has replacement nibs

tardy anchor
#

yeah!

sullen comet
#

I have Paint tool sai

tardy anchor
#

oooo hows that?

sullen comet
#

It’s ok

#

I can draw dabbing pickles

leaden rampart
#

is it sai 1 or 2?

sullen comet
#

Lemme check

#

It’s 1.10

leaden rampart
#

@slate lava I don't know about illustrator but I've known people who use photoshop just fine with it, but it depends what you want to be using the program for really

slate lava
#

Ok!

#

Cool

#

The only drawing I’ve ever done has been with a pencil and a notebook. Digital looks fun though

tardy anchor
#

it is!!

leaden rampart
#

it's especially fun swapping from mostly drawing digitally for a while and going to traditional and trying to use the undo shortcut

#

I definitely have never done this what are you saying

slate lava
#

Lol

#

Ctrl + z for life

chilly briar
#

@tardy anchor that's what I get for not finishing pyre lol

sullen comet
#

I found that is a best seller for 21:41$

leaden rampart
#

digital is definitely fun though, both it and traditional have their upsides and downsides

chilly briar
#

it came out while I was on exchange, so only played like an hour at most, then never played it again because time ;-;

leaden rampart
#

what is wafflez? sai?

sullen comet
#

No a tablet

leaden rampart
#

ohh gotcha

sullen comet
#

I guess this one will be good for getting into digital art

chilly briar
#

Is there anywhere you can try them?

#

Near my place in japan there were some stores that had like 20 or so out at a time you could play with lol

sullen comet
#

Oh

#

I’m not in japan

chilly briar
#

I assume other countries have it too, hell even in my current tiny corner of the world you can find a place to try at least a couple out o-o

sullen comet
#

I’ll keep my eye out

pastel phoenix
#

Where are you generally located, waffles?

sullen comet
#

Nvm this one is used for playing OSU!

twin terrace
#

Well, his name should be a giveaway

pastel phoenix
#

I could recommend a few places to check, but you need to be in the country, lol

#

Not necessarily...

sullen comet
#

I’m in America

pastel phoenix
#

Ok!

twin terrace
#

See? Told you

pastel phoenix
#

lol

slate lava
#

I would’ve guessed Netherlands

pastel phoenix
#

I've been bitten by that assumption before tho

twin terrace
#

Hm he got me going here, would’ve guessed Canada

sullen comet
#

I could’ve been communistwaffles and been in Greenland

slate lava
#

Greenland isn’t communist

twin terrace
#

The world may never know

sullen comet
#

It was a joke Ryan

slate lava
#

Oh

twin terrace
#

He’s just making a silly joke

slate lava
#

Whoooosh

#

The joke

My head

twin terrace
#

It’s alright Ryan lol

pastel phoenix
#

I'd guess that any Apple store, Best Buy, etc would have interactive displays

sullen comet
#

I found one

#

The top review is saying it’s great for making clothes for your Roblox avatar

twin terrace
#

The best one, obviously get that one

sullen comet
#

I’m looking at it

#

Dang

twin terrace
#

Too expensive?

sullen comet
#

Someone put artwork they drew in the comment

#

It’s 20

#

It’s really good

twin terrace
#

Ahh gotcha

pastel phoenix
#

Link for the curious?

sullen comet
#

It’s called the Huion H420 USB Graphics Drawing Tablet Board Kit

#

Sorry discord is being weird on my computer

pastel phoenix
#

No worries!

sullen comet
#

It keeps on saying it’s updating all the time

leaden rampart
#

at the end of the day, the more important part of drawing in general is your skill, not necessarily your tools

sullen comet
#

Wait

neon cedar
#

i used xp pen deco 01, but ive only had it for a month

sullen comet
#

I think it’s working

neon cedar
#

it seems good

leaden rampart
#

like tools do help, but you can make really good looking things with lower quality tools

#

but high quality tools don't give you good art skills, practice and hard work to keep growing do

neon cedar
#

preach

chilly briar
#

You could get one second hand for now and see how it suits you

#

Since the chances are most are sold because they don't get used

sullen comet
#

Yea

chilly briar
#

I'd do that

#

personally

pastel phoenix
#

I'm not that big a stickler for the newest, fanciest tools, but 1) delay, and 2) precision can be deal breakers

sullen comet
#

Brb

pastel phoenix
#

If you don't want to lock up the money with test purchases, you can always spend the time in the store trying them out

#

They also tend to have all the best software installed for showcasing

chilly briar
#

also you'd be pretty unlucky to get a unit with low precision these days

#

5 years ago it was a cowboys town though

#

back in my day...

sacred quiver
#

You can always look up cheap tablet reviews on Youtube a lot of artists have done some on ones under 100 dollafs

pastel phoenix
#

also streams- good for checking what it's really like in action

twin terrace
#

You don’t need fancy tools to do art... However if you do use fancy tools to do art, more power to ya

sullen comet
#

ok I got paint tool sai and Krita now

pastel phoenix
#

Krita!

#

sorry

sullen comet
#

You would not believe how long it took me to figure out that was sir gilman

leaden rampart
#

wait that's

#

oh my gosh

#

OH MY GOSH

sullen comet
#

Thats his love look

leaden rampart
#

I THOUGHT IT WAS A HEART COIN OR SOMETHING

sullen comet
#

same

#

The more u know

leaden rampart
#

I should've just read the emote aaaaaaaah

sullen comet
#

I figured it out cuz i saw the smile

#

lemme try out Krita right quick

#

I listen to Trombone Shorty's parking lot symphony

chilly briar
#

Krita? software or device?

#

I suppose I should just google lol

sullen comet
#

software\

chilly briar
#

ah

chilly briar
#

Ohhh open source, wonder if I can fix any of their open issues if they have any lol

#

I'm at the struggle atm of either rebuying supplies to resume painting or water colour, or continuing to practice playing bass o-o

twin terrace
#

Well, can’t you order the supplies first and then continue practice or

chilly briar
#

mmm the other complication is that i'm moving country again in January lol

#

the situation of: I want to do alllll the things but I have none of the time lol

#

Discord is trying to become the new steam...

upbeat scroll
#

Competition is good, right?

#

Steam makes questionable decisions

twin terrace
#

Could be interesting

#

Could make Steam wise up, or they let themselves become a dumping ground for cheap games

chilly briar
#

Does discord intend to sell games?

#

If anything, it seems like they're just filling in the gaps with xfire features

sacred quiver
#

Yeah they made a post about it on their Twitter

chilly briar
#

looks solid

sacred quiver
#

Discord is becoming a one stop shop

chilly briar
#

If you want, Discord can scan your computer for games. Then, you’ll be able to launch any of your games through Discord even if they require another launcher (Discord will boot the other launcher and game). This way, you don’t have to worry about which game boots from where!```
#

sick

faint panther
#

This makes me think about that xkcd strip (the launcher part)
https://xkcd.com/927/
Steam made dubious choices, I hope they stop that now that they may have a competitor

velvet void
#

I feel like the phrase "Discord is aiming it sights on Steam." Is a lil bit click bait. So far it seems that they're just trying to be a launcher although I did read that they might try to sell games as well. Regardless, I heavily doubt they will ever truely be a competitor to steam given that there are a dozen or so other game marketplace platforms are out there that tried but quickly realized that best they can do is fill a niche that steam doesn't already.

brittle jetty
#

yeh

velvet void
#

I.e
GOG selling DRM free games
Humble bundle selling bundles of games for discounted prices
Even devs like Epic, Bethesda, EA making their own launchers and cutting out steam as the middle man but that has more to do with them being a big enough brand that they assume people will go through the extra effort to go to their site.

is it just me or is the transistor USB not being sold in the online store anymore?

opaque quail
#

It is not just you! The tech had become out of date, so the USB has been retired.

faint panther

spring flower

spring flower

waxen sonnet

velvet void

I'mma buy the dog hoodie and wear it myself

waxen sonnet
#

now that's galaxy brain thinking right there

velvet void

But the one hoodie I do want is the hyper light drifter one

serene kettle

Broke: buying a dog hoodie for your pet
Woke: buying a dog hoodie and wearing it yourself

velvet void

My grandma is a seamstress and I REALLY want to make a fully-functioning/wearable winter-fall coat, but make it a CLOAK, with the Pyre star on the back.

waxen sonnet
#

can that be my cosplay at pax this year? just an outfit made out of like five dog hoodies?

velvet void
#

Be a Voltron and wear one on each limb

ruby roost
#

My dream cosplay is momma Jodi

spring flower
#

i've been thinking of cosplaying but i want my first cosplay to be a super easy one so i'm thinking of just making a cloak and go as The Reader

#

making the book is gonna be interesting

ruby roost
#

YAAAS

#

Go for it!!

waxen sonnet
#

my first and only cosplay was bakura from yu-gi-oh because a friend told me i'd never go through with it

ruby roost
#

Mine was Rin from blue exorcist dhsdhdjd

waxen sonnet
#

SHOWS WHAT THEY KNOW

ruby roost
#

It was fun

spring flower
#

i say that though i think my friends are planning to stick me in a mermaidman costume for the next con we go to

#

bakura is a good choice 👌

velvet void
#

If I ever get a gf who's as nerdy as me I would love to do a cosplay as the two main characters from ICO

trail gazelle
#

ax100 Going at The Reader is AN AWESOME IDEA!!!!

velvet void
#

Look up ICO and Yorda

ruby roost
#

I just want a friend to fangirl over supergiant with me

trail gazelle

CIPhantom--omg I love Blue Exorcist!!!

trail gazelle
#

It's really genius, because simple cosplays are great! I've only gone once, and I went as KiKi. Easiest cosplay ever!! Black dress and red bow. Plus I got RECOGNIZED. on my first con!!

ruby roost
#

The best moments I had was when a group of girls came to me really happy to take a picture with me :'D and the other one was when a girl was like "You're Rin!!Marry me!" and I actually kneeled in front of her

#

Then she went "aww you're a girl" :'D

waxen sonnet
#

hahaha

trail gazelle
#

d'aw that's funny!

spring flower
#

that's awesome, janeen!

#

ugh my internet is being uncooperative

trail gazelle
#

when I was KiKi a lot of people asks for hugs and pics!! 😮 And one of the speakers at a panel recognized me, and stood up, and then other people saw I was KiKi, and a literal ripple of 'Awww!' went through the huge room (which was full!) I thought it was especially funny when I met other KiKi's!!

spring flower
#

aw nice!!!!!

#

i love moments like that at cons

trail gazelle
#

yeah!!

spring flower
#

must have been a really great experience for your first cosplay 😄

ruby roost
#

True!!

trail gazelle
#

I really hope I can go to another one sometime soon! My first con was....was four whole years ago, now... 😢

spring flower
#

it was my first time at Asiapop Comic Con a few weeks ago

ruby roost
#

Oh dang D:

#

I've done pax west every year since 2012 and it's a good time

ruby roost
#

Iberanime here in Oporto

trail gazelle
#

no way that's awesome!

spring flower
#

it's one of the biggest cons here in the philippines

ruby roost
#

And went to comic con a few times also in Oporto

serene kettle
#

My first was a free one hosted at a college lol. It was fun and I bought a lot of posters

waxen sonnet
#

fun!! pax west is fun but it's very large and crowded and i'm wiped by the end of it. I want to make my way to gencon sometime in the future

fast seal
#

I wish I cosplayed at a con at least once, but I'm usually sitting behind a vendors table

trail gazelle
#

IDK if this might sound too conceited lol, but if anyone wants to see I could share a picture of me as KiKi? Can I do that here?

fast seal
#

do it!

trail gazelle
#

^_^

serene kettle
#

Ooh I had a friend work for PAX. I wonder if I could since I’m used to working spotlights and backstage

fast seal
#

I think as long as you have connections you're able to get in

spring flower
#

i'd love to see your kiki cosplay!

trail gazelle
#

D'aw thanks, I'll post it!!

Romance detective!!

monster prom
if you're a fan of that type of humor

serene kettle
#

I’m writing all these down 😤 I need these

waxen sonnet
#

butterfly soup is like two hours visual novel and it's SO CUTE I died everyone should play it

tardy anchor
#

YES!!!!

sharp grail
#

nier automata has some representation but its not too central to the plot its just there but pls play it, its good

serene kettle
#

I’ve almost 100% Nier: A because I love it so much

waxen sonnet
#

nier is so goooood

hollow canopy
#

monster prom is super short but its rlly fun and one of the funniest games ive played in a while
its pretty vulgar though so keep that in mind

#

if youre not into that

serene kettle
#

If it doesn’t have straight up porn it should be gucci

hollow canopy
#

nah, it doesnt

serene kettle
#

I know of Dream Daddy, I liked that game!

#

Ooh okay thanks!

ruby roost
#

Dream Daddy!!

#

YAS

hollow canopy
#

i wasnt a huge fan of dream daddy but that might be because i didnt feel like it lived up to the price
thats rlly just me though

ruby roost
#

Fire Emblem Fates has some lgbt rep

serene kettle
#

Honestly I’m pretty easy to please so that might be why I liked it lol

hollow canopy
#

ehhh its not great
i love fire emblem but if youre looking for lgbt rep id look elsewhere

ruby roost
#

Yeah true

twin terrace
#

Fates isn’t a good game, like it felt incomplete to me but don’t take my word for it here

serene kettle
#

I’m mostly asking because I was feeling down about not being able to be gay in Persona 5

ruby roost
#

I just played awakening and fates

hollow canopy
#

the gameplay (especially in conquest) is great but the actual story and character elements leave a lot to be desired imo

ruby roost
#

True

#

But I kinda liked the story (only played Conquest too)

#

Not the best

#

But not the worse too

waxen sonnet
#

i'm so ready for fire emblem switch

twin terrace
#

Conquest, definitely felt like something but Birthright felt like an afterthought

ruby roost
#

@waxen sonnet the characters look amazing

hollow canopy
#

please @ fire emblem switch be good im begging

ruby roost
#

I hope I can buy a switch soon

#

@hollow canopy wise words. Hope you have been heard :')

hollow canopy
#

HONESTLY

waxen sonnet
#

dqxi first though~~

hollow canopy
#

i liked echoes but it was super simplistic gameplay wise and i never actually finished it
it was my fav aesthetically tho

serene kettle
#

Thanks for the suggestions y’all I put them in my notes so I can buy them all later

hollow canopy
#

so im just pRAYING for a great fire emblem game to debut on the switch

twin terrace
#

Please let it have some faster gameplay is my one request

#

Echoes felt kinda slow imo

waxen sonnet
#

I didn't even pick up Echoes, I knew it wasn't what I was looking for at the time. I yelled when we got our FE switch announcement trailer though

serene kettle
#

Wow I have never played Fire Emblem. I got into gaming pretty late

hollow canopy
#

yeah thats fair! echoes is a huge deviation from the typical formula
awakening is always gonna be my fav fire emblem probably just because it was my first and im in love with chrom
regardless. pls fe switch be good

ruby roost
#

My first FE was Awakening and I love it so much!

hollow canopy
#

its not a perfect game but i love it regardless

waxen sonnet
#

my first was sacred stones

twin terrace
#

Imo why can’t we have the over the top animations like FE7, cause that was really the peak for me

sacred quiver
#

I loved Echoes gameplay wise and story wise but I probably skipped about every enemy turn because it just couldn't go fast enough

#

Hectorcopter made FE7

twin terrace
#

It was flashy and not practical but my god was it the best part

sacred quiver
#

It completely fit Hector's character

hollow canopy
#

if you want stupid flashy animations look no further than fe fates' Archer Backflip

twin terrace
#

I love watching battle animations but it made me sad how kinda... Boring the battles look in newer games. They hit the enemy with the impact of a nerf bat

waxen sonnet
#

I love hector

trail gazelle
#

I've heard of Fire Emblem only because I'm pretty sure I heard GReg Kasavin himself likes it, I think, but I've never played it though, don't know what it's about..hm...

hollow canopy
#

thats true
the older games' animation looks so much more... Powerful

#

probably because of the extra effects like the vibration and stuff

sacred quiver
#

It's a turn based strategy RPG I think it the term that gets used a lot

hollow canopy
#

yeah its like chess w hot anime characters

spring flower
#

my friends are huge Fire Emblem fans

twin terrace
#

I’m not saying I wanna see heads pop off, I wanna see some crazy effects, give me back all those good animations from the GBA era

spring flower
#

in the last con we went to, they were all freaking out about it and i was like ':D no idea what's going on but i'm happy for y'all'

hollow canopy
#

chrom is finally in smash im so proud

twin terrace
#

Now you can make Chrom beat up his tactician, his daughter, and his ancestor

serene kettle
#

I’m so excited for smash 😤 I hope subspace is in there but even if it isn’t

twin terrace
#

My Belmont boys are in and that’s all I really cared about that Smash direct

velvet void
#

The new Doom eternal gameplay gave my life a new reason to live

hollow canopy
#

everyone: whoa so many cool new characters this is so exciting
me, crying: CHROM

serene kettle
#

I need to play Doom

#

Akdhahdhd me but with Ness

hollow canopy
#

knhvgchVJ

velvet void
#

Doom usually goes on sale for $20, and you should def play doom

serene kettle
#

It might even be on sale now. Imma check

velvet void
#

I think it's on sale now

#

Yeah

#

Cuz quakecon

serene kettle
#

I could only play smash with GameCube controllers otherwise I’d just rip

twin terrace
#

Procon for Smash will be interesting

velvet void
#

So many games to get hyped over

twin terrace
#

Or wait, there is one thing I remember....

velvet void
#

You know you'll be seeing that one guy in tournies destroying people with joycons

sharp grail
#

prey is also on sale for quakecon and its good you should get it

twin terrace
velvet void
#

Kinda wish they didn't name the new Prey "Prey". Should of called it system shock 3

#

Lol

faint panther
#

Doom Eternal is basically Brutal Doom if it was Brutal...er

velvet void
#

The hypest of Doom

sharp grail
#

its not system shock 3 tho

#

it is its own thing, it just has the name prey

serene kettle
#

Haha Doom is on sale I’m buying it now

velvet void
#

It plays more like system shock then the original prey is what I'm saying

twin terrace
#

Nice, you’re doing yourself a favor by purchasing Doom here

sharp grail
#

bc it has nothing to do with prey from 2006

velvet void
#

The devs didn't even like calling it prey either

faint panther
#

Ngl, the new upgrades have me extremely excited to get it. Too bad no next gen console or good pc, but I can wait for the price to go down while that's happening

#

One thing I will not be so fond of is if they add Arch Viles as they were in the original

#

horrifying

serene kettle
#

Doom 🅱️ought

#

Tho I can’t download it until I get home

velvet void
#

Prepare to RIP AND TEAR

twin terrace
#

RIP AND TEAR

velvet void
#

Rip and Tear plays in the background

faint panther
#

I hope this one also has a dynamic soundtrack

serene kettle
#

😩

velvet void
#

Will most def with Mick Gordon

#

Dude knows his music

serene kettle
#

wip and teaw ôwô

faint panther
#

reminds me of L4D with that. It's really smart

twin terrace
#

Mick Gordon did a great job

velvet void
#

Watched his behind the scenes with how he made the music

#

Dude is great

faint panther
#

Mind if you give a link to it?

velvet void
#

Sure I'll find it real quick

faint panther
#

Nice, much appreciate it

#

So, what are y'all most excited for in the new Doom?

twin terrace
#

More ripping

#

And more tearing

#

But in all seriousness, I wanna see them keep going with this new Doom stuff

faint panther
#

Yeah, they seem to have made it even more complicated

#

reimagining old Doom enemies is really cool

sharp grail
#

i dont know much at all about doom but the music in the doom eternal trailer that was in E3 is soooo good

faint panther
#

Oh, I'd recommend getting into Doom, GZDoom is a good start

#

there's a lot of mods, but they're called WADs in the community

twin terrace
#

And basically a lot of things can run Doom

#

Finding out if something is capable of running the original Doom

Speaking of video game music, what are your favorite video game soundtracks (aside from Pyre, Bastion, and Transistor, since I am sure we all know they're great)

#

Personally I have been rather addicted to Hollow Knight and Dust Force recently

velvet hawk
#

I quite like the music in Horizon Zero Dawn, but mostly that one track with the violins that plays in Meridian. There's actually very few games whose soundtracks I've sought out outside the game come to think of it, and they're mostly obscure indie games no one played

sacred quiver
#

I'm a big fan ofthe Splatoon OST's esecially the octo expansionmusic

grand bramble

Persona 3, Persona 4, Persona 5, and Persona Q are all great

The Pillars of Eternity soundtrack is great as well

I haven’t played much of the game, but I love the soundtrack in Va11-Hall A. Ori and the Blind Forest also has an amazing soundtrack.

Aquaria is an old indie game that not many people know about, but I love it a lot and especially its music, it is magical 💖

Aquaria was in the Humble Indie Bundle that also had Bastion and some other classic indie games many years ago, wasn't it?

velvet hawk

it wasn't in the same bundle as Bastion but it was in a bundle from around the same time

YEAH!! I got into both Aquaria and Bastion thanks to Humble Bundle!!

Btw Aquaria's OST is by Alec Holowka

Late to this but Lisa has an awesome soundtrack. So does the Nier games. Emil sacrifice and Kaine Salivation are some of my favorites.

Also undertale. Every song in that game is amazing

Can't really think of nay other OSTs that havent already been said but if we're talking about music I know some anime OSTs that are excellent

#

Ping Pong the Animation while also being one of the most emotional and well written shows ive watched, has a very unique soundtrack to it that i deeply enjoyed

#

Overlord is another one that has killer intro and outros by Myth & Roid

Crypt of The NecroDancer and Darkest Dungeon OSTs are also pretty good

oooh necrodancer yeah!!

#

night in the woods has a beautiful ost but its very....intense

i feel like i cant listen to more than one song at a time

slate lava

Oxenfree had a pretty great OST

wanton brook
#

nier... automata... has fantastic ost...

leaden rampart

assassin's creed II ost, and a neat one I've come across is the ost for the flame in the flood
it's um... definitely got a specific vibe to it but it suits the game and is pretty cute

sharp grail
#

oh were talking about osts 👀

#

remember me and vampyr have great osts, i love olivier deriviere

lapis patio
#

Paper's Please has a pretty great soundtrack, but it's pretty much just one song

#

also most Zelda games

outer pilot
#

Risk of Rain OST is also pretty amazing

grand bramble
#

Danganronpa has some good songs across all 4 game osts

dull granite
#

There's this game called transistor that has a rlly good ost idk if anyone here will have heard of it

#

(the portal 2 ost is also good)

#

And DEADBOLT

#

Deadbolt's ost is absolutely fantastic

#

The reaper's lietmoif is so simple but so effective, and there are so many cool ways that it's used

#

Also one song samples the "They're eating her!" scene from Troll 2

hollow canopy
#

love it or hate it the fire emblem fates soundtrack is Incredible

#

I gotta agree about portal 2

#

Technical difficulties really sets the mood

#

Your precious moon is great too

My personal favourite from portal 2 is the friendly faith plate

YEAH! Portal 2 OST is amazing!!!

faint panther
#

Buy deadbolt ppl.
I like how they just tweaked one mechanic to make the game challenging, also (cf transistor convo) dogs are a pain to deal with.

trail gazelle
#

ANIME! Would love to talk about this but I gotta go to bed, ahhh 😢

#

Portal!!! AHH YES!

#

I didn't think i'd like the OST for 'the friendly faith plate' but it really grew on me! Off the top of my head, I love 'Reconstructing More Science', 'An Accent Beyond', the 'Wake Up Call', 'Bombs for Throwing at You', and 'I'm not a Moron! '

#

Portal rocks!

desert swallow
#

Wait were we talking about OSTs? Because Hyper Light Drifer and NieR Automata have good ones

And the original NieR as well

@desert swallow cult of the zealous?

Yessss those are good. I also like The Gauntlet and The Abyss

Can't forget Hotline Miami

#

Paris gets me in the mood to preform U L T R A V I O L E N C E

faint panther

Inner animal and hydrogen are good at that too

And Mi Cara Addio, the song the turrets sing at the end of portal 2, is one of my favs

And yeah all if Hotlines Songs are bangers

#

If you like stupid violence with house/electronic music saints row 3 and 4 are good at that
Dunno why so many people hate these games so much though, if anyone wants to discuss why they don't like em, I'd like to understand

velvet void
#

I've played them both but I wasnt fond of them all that much. I don't think they're terrible games or hated them.

faint panther
#

It's overtop so it doesn't click with everybody I get that but why hate tho

#

Did you play the 1st and 2 ?

#

(I know you don't hate just wonderin)

velvet void
#

No,but the reason I didn't really click with saints row 3-4 is more to the fact that the open world was kinda weak for me. Most of the enjoyment I got from then was from the mission set pieces and whenever I had the chance I would just rush the story until I got to the next set piece. The sandbox didn't really pull me in like other games

#

I felt the novelty of hitting people with a giant [REDACTED] bat wore thin after an hour

faint panther
#

That's why I hit them with a regular bat, old school fun's better. But yeah that's right, beyond messing with civilians and police the open world in both of those game isn't interactive at all.

patent spoke
#

Actually if youre looking for OSTs i feel its more of what youre looking for. The western side tends to focus more on electronic as a base while oriental tends to be symphonic. This is not applicable to all of course but its what ive observed

#

If youre into symphonic i highly recommend the nier automata sets or kingdom hearts series

#

Of course a classic would be final fantasy but those are pretty old

#

For the more western style id recommend the older series. Chrono trigger, halo and the likes

#

Then theres the indies

#

Hollow knight, finding paradise, to the moon and rakuen have a few good songs

#

Of course bastion and transistor would be imcluded in the list

It's good and very unique

I'm not quite sure how it's going to play on the Switch but I'm so happy it's getting another shot at life

It looks like it’ll be like the iOS release of TWEWY

#

Which honestly was a completely different game than the OG DS game imo

#

Yeah it’s still the same game but it had new stuff to learn/mechanics changed

I figured as much, seeing how it really used both screens of the DS

Like this one

And the Starbound soundtrack is pretty chill

I've recently been playing it again, and while I was on one alien planet there was this SUPER COOL track going on, I loved it, I wanna go through the entire OST to find the cool ones

Same with the FTL soundtrack

OH RIGHT

I love that one

totally forgot about it ;v;''

Been playing it a lot on my laptop when I'm away from home

Still great

#

Started it appreciate when I have the game paused and I have 4 hull breaches, half the ship on fire, and low on oxygen

#

And I'm just thinking about my poor choices over the awesome ost

#

Another game called Nuclear Throne has a pretty good ost was well

#

Especially the ending song

faint panther
#

So did anyone else check out We Happy Few? I was so on board with the world, the atmosphere, the story, aaaand then I watched some gameplay, half expecting some wonky first person combat, but I kept seeing encounters where the objective is to run and escape by pushing your way through some dumb ai and locking a door behind you. Anyone have any thoughts on it?

sharp grail

i remember when it was announced i was excited for it? but im not that sure about it anymore

#

tbf its been years

lavish anchor
#

From what I'm seeing from Jim Sterling, the game seems janked real bad

twin terrace
#

Honestly I remember giving it something of a whirl

#

It was... Alright until it became yet another survivalcraft game

#

It has an interesting concept but I dunno, I’m burnt out on crafting/survival games

lavish anchor
#

I think the theme drew people's interest and then the gameplay let it down

#

A bit like the game that broke the internet a few years back... No Man's Skhurgble

twin terrace
#

At least now they patched NMS and it actually feels like a game

#

They did wonders on it, and I actually feel bad cause Sony wanted them to push the game out faster and such

lavish anchor
#

Publishers ain't needed much these days for smaller games

twin terrace
#

Hm true

lavish anchor
#

It's why I'm glad Supergiant went full independent for Transistor and Pyre

twin terrace
#

Oh absolutely

#

But really, We Happy Few would’ve been much more interesting as a single player action game rather than survival

#

I dunno that’s just me

lavish anchor
#

I agree

#

At this point any survival game really has to wow me to get me interested.

The formula has been done to death

But Metal Gear Survive?!

But yeah, most of them don't add anything new from the previous

Honestly Metal Gear Survive came out at a bad time. Considering the treatment of Kojima and their rep, that game was doomed to fail

I think it's cursed

And... Survivalcraft over saturation

Also the game was mediocre at best

I know I’m joking here

#

But dang man

velvet void
#

He wanted my M4 which was the best/rarest spawn in the game and he wanted (at gunpoint) to trade me his AUG for it. I complied but one of the Bros tried pulling a gun on him and he got lit up. Afterwards I just gave him it and he took off and we were just looking at the corspe of this dude who only 10 mins ago we were laughing and telling stories with.

#

We tried tracking him down but we lost each other in the woods at night. I then stumbled into a bandit camp where things got even worse.

#

They robbed me of everything but left me with a bat, a can of food (server rule say you have to give the robbed food and means to protect themselves) and a empty mosin.

#

Afterwards I stumbled around feeling like crap but I found an empty barnhouse with 20 rounds of mosin ammo. I decided I had nothing to lose.

#

Legit camped outside their camp for an hour just looking for the guy who was talking smack to me and who stole my aug

#

Until this random guy I've never heard before crawled up next to me asking me if I was planning on killing them. We came up with a plan to hit them on both fronts. He crawled to the other side but got caught by some if the bandits

#

They started to interrogate him and at this point I saw the dude who had my aug, I lined up a shot and got him and everyone just ran.

I just laid there and emptied the clip.

#

4 more shot and I could only confirmed 1 more kill.

#

But I just stood still hoping no one saw my muzzle flash during the commotion

#

15 mins later the camp went empty as all the banits just ran and my guy came back to me.

#

"Bro that was a nice [REDACTED] shot! He just dropped!"

#

I'm just there still full of adrenaline and went over to the body and took back my aug.

#

The guy looted the rest and we split ways.

#

I still never found the original guy who killed my bro and stole my M4

#

her name is Cynthia
she'll crawl from the abyss, break into your house, and steal your oreos

velvet void
#

Ye, still my favorite PC I created

#

Alright I'm fine with the first 2

#

The Oreos are mine tho

grand bramble
#

ya better square up
she knows magic

faint panther
#

is cynthia a very powerful character? someone who has a lot of power but uses it for small things seems very fun

grand bramble
#

not really

velvet void
#

I have something better 🔫

#

My pew pew blaster

lavish anchor
#

A character of mine eminates 'reality acid' as a sort of fog which causes basically anything to fall apart if she touches it

faint panther
#

thats cool

lavish anchor
#

I've got this huge story planned out for her and it's interesting coming up for enemies cause well, she can punch holes through reality

velvet void
#

Celian, the PC, is supposed to be a highly trained assassin. He is but at the same time has crippling social anxiety due to him have no contact with anyone but his master and is a bit of a bumbling dork when it doesn't involve his profession

#

I had the most fun RPing as him

#

Most or less made him when I heard how the writer for Cowboy Bebop tried to make Spike a cool character by making him look lame most of the time and where things got serious he would show off his abilities and look cool

#

So I followed that structure

twin terrace
#

Kinda reminds me of another character I’m fleshing out here

grand bramble
#

the story ive been planning is about
a modern world with magic
that contains artifacts that fuse with girls' souls
turning them into magical girls themed around their biggest interest
a yet unnamed evil organization has been collecting these artifacts and using them on stereotypical popular girls in order to use them
main character is named Apple, shes v into knights and chivilry and other medieval stuff
so after she accidently is fused with one of these artifacts when the evil people raid a musuem to get it
she basically becomes a fusion between a knight and magical girl
her outfit is all armor plated and stuff, and her main weapon is a giant magical lance

faint panther
#

that sounds cool

velvet void
#

I really want to continue this convo cuz I'm interested in all of your stories and ideas but I got to do some things so I'll talk to you guys later.

twin terrace
#

Later Furi

faint panther
#

i would love to draw one of your characters one day

lavish anchor
#

Later

faint panther
#

but every time i take requests i never finish them :p

lavish anchor
#

If your an artist, I pay for pictures

#

As one should do

faint panther
#

i don't do commissions

lavish anchor
#

Fair enough

faint panther
#

i do requests when i feel like it

#

since im still learning and stuff

lavish anchor
#

Yep, understandable

twin terrace
#

I getcha

faint panther
#

if you're interested dm me but whatever

grand bramble
#

other characters include Delta, a shy and timid girl who resents the more popular girls, and when given one of the artifacts by the evil people, and basically becomes an very egotistical and loud mouthed Aqautic magical girl whos main weapon is a trident and serves as an antihero
she seemingly becomes a completely different person when she transforms, but is still very shy and timid normally

#

theres also an as of yet unnamed older magical girl who works as a secretary, and whose powers allow her to provide support from a distance, similarly to the navigation characters in Persona games

twin terrace
#

Guess I should give a quick summary of what Skate’s like so

faint panther
#

are you planning to make a webcomic out of this story?

#

or a book or something?

#

id read it, sounds cute

grand bramble
#

tbh id probably do a webcomic if i actually learn to art

#

tbh its really meant to be darker if anything

#

like

faint panther
#

i think you can pull it off if the story is interesting

#

even if the art isnt professional

grand bramble
#

for the first large section of the story, Apple is meant to be basically the only good magical girl in her town
shes very much outnumbered and is alone to figure things out on her own

#

later on her best friend (owned by my bf, a guy who uses the magic he was born with to make himself more and more femine over time, to avoid being bullied) is captured and used as an expiriment by the bad guys in attempt to speed up the process of creating magical girls and basically becomes her sidekick
and Delta kinda works with her too

#

also on the first bit
basically the artifacts dont fuse directly with a person first
they fuse with them physically, then over a period of time fuse with their soul
during that first bit of time, they're basically any other run of the mill stereotypical magical girl, and its only after it fuses with their soul do they actually get a unique magical girl appearance and abilities

twin terrace
#

Skate B. Oard, was made cause a clone by the name of Striker Z, escaped a facility and Skate well, he was basically deemed a ‘failure’ but someone snuck the clone baby out and left him in an alleyway. Then comes in the adoptive father, an owner of a bike and repair shop, Pops ‘Poppa’ Wheelie. Takes in the weird kid cause who else would?

Raises the kid and notices how strange his son he dubbed Skate is, and realizes he basically has a superhuman on his hands and does his best as a single dad who owns a small business in LA would. Skate then kinda becomes a celebrity due to being a ‘superhero’ to all. A fast, up in your face, skateboard riding, loud hero.

Then, Skate meets his biological dad, Striker Z who threatens to destroy the city and Skate loses hard against him, and kinda forces him into a retirement where he swears to never use his powers again. Few years later, Striker Z attacks the city and Skate comes outta retirement (Also cause if he didn’t, Pops was going to make him work overtime) and fight to protect his city.

#

That’s my whole plot for my story

faint panther
#

so ive googled david cage and he does seem problematic lol

grand bramble
#

since the bad guys didnt realize that Apple's friend wasnt a girl, the expiriment lead to them discovering something else
fusing an artifact directly with someone's soul without it fusing physically beforehand means that the artifact doesnt get the chance to go "hey this person isnt a girl, im not gonna fuse with them"

lavish anchor
#

Someone pointed out that David Cage uses the same 3 character archetypes, if not just the same characters overall

twin terrace
#

Everytime someone brings up Cage and his hack writing, I feel my lifespan decrease

lavish anchor
#

It's a good lesson on what not to do

grand bramble
#

this leads to them creating who is basically the main antagonist for the story
basically a male magical girl with a future theme, whose design is kinda based on Akechi's phantom thief outfit, minus the mask, with science fictiony weapons
basically a refined royal look

faint panther
#

he doesnt seem to be very popular

twin terrace
#

Also to not be a complete dingdong during interviews when someone asks “Why did you include this theme within your story?”

#

“Would you ask a movie director that?”
Yes, yes I would.

faint panther
#

sounds like a very interesting story @grand bramble

grand bramble
#

but to him, the magical girl powers he's given is nothing more than a physical power boost
Basically instead of using actual magic and stuff, he uses it as a straight boost to his physical strength and resistances, making him insanely hard to take down

faint panther
#

it's pretty neat

grand bramble
#

aaaaaaaaaaa thank you

faint panther
#

you should really consider making a comic

grand bramble
#

yeah ive been kinda planning it
i need to learn to art at all first though

twin terrace
#

Yeah your story is really neato

faint panther
#

you can join some art discords

#

they usually have good crit

#

useful stuff

grand bramble
#

i dont really have any resources to actually do anything though

#

like i havve mspaint like literally everyone else and photoshop

faint panther
#

pencil and paper my friend

grand bramble
#

but i only ever use photoshop for memes

faint panther
#

once you kinda have a base on traditional art you can move onto digital

#

do lots of figure drawing and still life

#

copy stuff

grand bramble
#

i'll get around to starting eventually
but like right now
i just dont have the time or attention span for it

faint panther
#

that's fine

#

keep doing what you're doing though, your story is cool

grand bramble
#

yes

#

thank you so much!

twin terrace
#

Yours feels well thought out while mine kinda feels like a WIP still

grand bramble
#

i also have other character ideas for it that arent magical girls, and have though up of a basic magic categorization system for it
but i havent done much with either yet

#

i think ive been thinking up stuff for it for a few months now

#

lemme see

arctic basalt
#

but yeah as i was saying, david cage is a complete hack

lavish anchor
#

Agreed

tropic garden
#

i'm sorry i started the david cage revolution :')

grand bramble
#

okay i just checked back
very first post i made about Apple was march 1 of this year

arctic basalt
#

i say this as someone who honestly loves heavy rain the way many people love the room

#

cage is Terrible and should not be given money

grand bramble
#

so ive been working on it since early this year

lavish anchor
#

Jim Sterling said if Cage showed Heavy Room at a film festival he'd be laughed out of the room

arctic basalt
#

heavy room gjflad

lavish anchor
#

HA I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE

upbeat scroll
#

david cage really shouldn't be the biggest name in what he does, but I guess he wins by default since no one else is running

twin terrace
#

Tbh the only good thing to come outta Cage games is that SBFP will do a video and rip on it

faint panther
#

ok then ill guess ill wait until detroit become human becomes a free ps plus game :^)

#

i thought the game was pretty neat but Cage does not seem pretty neat

twin terrace
#

I honestly really hate DBH cause people think “Oh but cute android makes up for bad game!” And no, do not praise anything from this man

faint panther
#

yeah i saw positive reviews on it but i wasnt paying too much attention, it was really hyped though

upbeat scroll
#

conveying a story through an interactive world, with multiple branching paths....
🤔

arctic basalt
#

i am a strong proponent of liking what you like but being prepared to examine it critically as well

grand bramble
#

Connor is the new Onceler/Vriska/Nagito/Sans

lavish anchor
#

If anything, the team behind the games should have a better director and script writer

twin terrace
#

Neo

#

Why must you say that

#

The four cursed names

faint panther
#

i don't see why the game itself is bad though, it seems decently put together

tardy anchor
#

get vriska out of that she doesnt deserve it hfkfng

lavish anchor
#

Throw David Cage in the trash, get someone who can do more than string together 'impactful' scenes and go for it

faint panther
#

i was definitely going to wait until it was cheaper though

twin terrace
#

It should be Gamzee instead of Vriska

tardy anchor
#

YEAH

#

vriskas a mess but like...shes got different energy

grand bramble
#

you know im right

#

also Aradia is best girl

twin terrace
#

There’s a difference of ‘Spider with agenda offs person’ and ‘Clown nearly screws over everyone’

lavish anchor
#

I have no idea who any of these people are

twin terrace
#

Maybe it’s best you don’t

#

Unless you want to know

faint panther
#

i want to know

lavish anchor
#

I have my little corner of the internet where I watch fads fly by to the great trash fire, never to be seen again

twin terrace
#

Not to bring back old 2012 memes but...

#

Looks around, cautiously, ready to utter the cursed phrase upon you all

tropic garden
#

@faint panther connor and hank's arc is actually good, mostly because their actors basically did the opposite of ehat cage asked. they improv'd a lot and fought him on inclusions for their characters

#

The performances were honestly pretty good across the board

twin terrace
#

Let me tell you about Homestuck

tropic garden
#

And the graphics are lovely

#

There are even a few impactful scenes

#

But for most people the stilted writing and bad commetary wrecks the rest of the story

faint panther
#

meh i guess ill just have to play it eventually

tardy anchor
#

hey......terezi and meenah best girls

#

trolls anyway

twin terrace
#

Roxy best gorl

tardy anchor

roxy n jane best human girls

#

YEA

faint panther
#

guess atleast the rest of his team will be fed off of my purchase

tropic garden
#

Yeah quantic dream did their damnedest

#

Cage himself is just. unfortunate lol

twin terrace
#

I feel like they don’t wanna ditch Cage cause hey, even bad publicity is good for them

#

Keep him, let him put out something to get some profit

faint panther
#

seems like a forgettable guy tbh

lavish anchor
#

He is the ablatross aound their necks

faint panther
#

if he suddenly got replaced we would easily get used to it

#

@tropic garden now im watching video analysis on dbh haha

arctic basalt
#

walks in like troy barnes holding pizzas to a fire made of homestuck

twin terrace
#

Also apologies if I do come off as harsh over Cage, but dang am I actually fed up with hearing about him and people don’t look more critical. Yes, do like what you want and don’t let opinions waver you but hoo boy, I had not good impressions about this dude and his games control like a broken tank

arctic basalt
#

i go away for five minutes and homestuck happens

twin terrace
#

A bit late, Xel. We’re having a Cage Critical right now

arctic basalt
#

oh good

twin terrace
#

So yeah, guy has disappointed me and I suggest checking out Nier Automata if you want a better story and better gameplay

#

Yoko Taro is a blessing to this earth and I would die for him

lavish anchor
#

Better writer and honest when asked why the androids are all attractive

faint panther
#

ive never played nier automata, what's it like

desert swallow
#

I love NieR Automata aaaaa

twin terrace
#

Okay, so basically humanity is pushed off the earth by aliens and then robots took over the planet and now a group called YorHa sends androids down to clear out the robots

#

It’s basically an apocalypse story but really well written and goes a little further than ‘What if a robot wanted to be a human’

desert swallow
#

And like... philosophy

#

Kinda

faint panther
#

i like the idea, what about the gameplay?

twin terrace
#

Action. Very action based

#

There is some RPG elements but imo it felt more action based

#

Change weapons, chips (which are like stat modifications) and such

#

Oh and also there’s exploration and fishing

faint panther
#

fishing in videogames, my biggest enemy

#

but it's cool, ill check it out ty <3

twin terrace
#

Cause Yoko Taro basically said: “JRPGs need fishing”

#

Also it’s easy to fish, unlike OG Nier

#

But glad to convince you to check it out

#

Glory to Mankind

lavish anchor
#

Terraria and Contact ruined fishing for me

#

I don't even like real fishing, the fish is gross and I don't want it

faint panther
#

stardew valley's fishing sucked until i used a mouse

twin terrace
#

I like fishing, so guess that makes me the Boring Dad™ here

#

Both in games and irl

faint panther
#

its not boring, its just not my thing

#

im sure catching a big fish is cool

#

im not really into fish anyway

#

perhaps if i liked to eat it id like fishing more

twin terrace
#

Catfish filet is honestly a treat to me tbh

grand bramble
#

i love Stardew Fishing

#

Terraria too

twin terrace
#

Imo I like when fishing in games has a bit of challenge besides ‘mash button to reel’

#

Give me some fight here, dang

grand bramble
#

Persona 4 fishing sucks

prime cosmos
#

most RPG fishing is trash

twin terrace
#

Persona 4-5 didn’t have solid fishing imo

worldly estuary
#

is Loz a RPG?

#

XD

twin terrace
#

No

grand bramble
#

also im super hype for Persona Q2

worldly estuary
#

I think it had good fishing

tropic garden
#

This is Dark Cloud 1 fishing erasure

worldly estuary
#

^^^

twin terrace
#

It has good fishing, but Zelda is an adventure/action with puzzles

#

But dang does TP have a good fishing system

faint panther
#

for me, acnl fishing is ideal fishing

#

unless fishing is the main part of your game, fishing shouldnt be hard
