but like, listening to simple plan is in no way on the same level as reading catcher in the rye
not familiar w either of those but i trust you
You know the What's New Scooby Doo opening? That's Simple Plan
i do not
errr..... listening to a little emo 2002 music does not compare to the mandatory high school reading about the 'universal teen experience' that was written in the 1950s and has a sexist homophobic racist protagonist
high school teachers be assigning catcher in the rye like, yes, this is a relatable book for teens
i didn't think they assigned it to be relatable, i thought they assigned it to have an understanding of different writing styles depending on eras
my high school english class didn't go into that level of nuance
Me neither, at that point they're mostly trying to make you interested in any literature, let alone make you understand/analyze it
though sure my teachers also assigned like..... john green, perks of being a wallflower, etc. as "relatable for teenz" mandatory reading
odd, to say the least. 
i was an insufferable little nerdling who liked to go way above my reading level though
i liked biting off more than i could chew with all the "difficult" readings
That's the right thing to do when you like reading, it makes you better much quicker
eh or you could go too far. i never really liked classic novels and just read them out of academic competitiveness and now i'm totally turned off by them
you know who knew what was up.....hard times by charles dickens
literally i cant read it without crying
louisa.................... 😭 👌
which i understand is a shame and maybe in five years i'll be able to look at a copy of cry the beloved country without screaming and running for the hills
The problem with adults and teenagers is that adults were teenagers once, and most are aware how wrong they were about a lot of things
So they just extrapolate from that
yeah i agree
I dunno, I did a year and a half of french literatture study and still don't like most of the classic stuff, although there is some exceptions
Then again, maybe it'll come with age
hey supergiant....... make a emily brontë based game......
Ok, hot take:
kjhbjgbjhgvjhgjh
A lot of classic literature is bad
that'll get my reading game back into it for sure
Like, in german class "which might as well have been called literature in high school", we read 8 novels
Heathcliff is Hades
The only half-decent one was Faust
i think it depends on: subject, region, and the philosophical take
And reading a classic story now isn't the same as in context
True, but I did say "most", not all for a reason
fair enough
the year 2024...... new game from supergiant........ elizabeth bennet has a gun
Gunpowder and prejudice?
Nah the next game focuses on the downfall of the Roman Empire
After they were invaded by the germanic tribes
With guns
That's assuming they haven't been bought off by Epic Games and relocated to developpement of Fortnite 2
oh.... truly the worst timeline
Truly, yes
@spice pivot what's one more launcher if you already have 6 tho
@rough tinsel i dont want another launcher for 1 game
I can buy thousands on steam
But i need this one launcher for this one game, i even use GOG
when steam started you couldn't :p people still had to get it for one game
ppls memories so short lol
you don't have to load the launcher to play games from epic store
Idc
Its getting out of control lol
Every new game needs a new launcher
It gets annoying when anticipated games become exclusive to a launcher or store
@rough tinsel
i actually have to agree with that, i'm expecting this game to be open to more launchers once it's complete
I hope so
I'd love to throw money at it and use big picture mode on my pc to launch it and play it
Media pcs get annoying when you gotta go an extra mile for a single game :v
yknow the launcher debate always makes me think of console players
Who buy whole new consoles just to play one game, sometimes

also, epic is kinda sweetening the pot here by giving rlly good games for free every two weeks
like oxenfree, soon
pls play oxenfree if you have the epic launcher already
THATS THE WRONG REACTION
wait what’s the wrong reaction to what
put the middle finger emoji instead of the pointing one lolll
we can't i think, part of the rules
Just wanted to share this beautiful game that I learned about at SXSW Gaming: https://baddreams.itch.io/onehandclapping
wow that looks so cool
Oooh, this looks awesome
Saw this should be here. Moving and deleting other: https://www.dsogaming.com/news/pc-gamers-report-epic-launcher-collecting-their-steam-friends-play-history-epic-responds/
Would be super cool if the Epic Store wasn't enacting information theft that they're trying to dress up as harmless.
I appreciate that Supergiant are acting as pioneers of a new store front that offers greater income to developers, but I think it's past time to consider what problems this is making for gamers.
Personally, as much as I enjoy Hades, I'm uninstalling the Epic Store.
hey did y'all know we have more members than official minecraft server
or at least we did like a month ago

holy moly
yeah they have 10k something
woahhhhhh
This is by far the server I'm in with the highest member count
i think thats true for me as well
If I'd hazard a guess you could add up the member count of every other server I'm in and it would still be less than this one
we definitely have fewer people than blobmoji server gkjfdg
hawt damn
That's the same for me too
Not really no
i still play minecraft
mine goes
- this one
- drakenier server (the bunker)
- dontnod server
its a good game
my adult friends still play minecraft
drakengard and nier
wait @sharp grail drakenier?
Nier is great
mine goes this server/ a friends stream platform/ and Dead Cells
i keep meaning to!! but i’m broke
21.99 on steam
its pretty tho
but i need that GOOD GOOD LORE
In a vastly different take on the roguelike/lite genre, I really enjoyed Into the Breach
@sharp grail only harder if you make it harder
i enjoyed Dungreed
before i dug into dead cells
i see i see
Into the Breach is fantastic
to be fair the only other rogue like i’ve played is the binding of isaac
which i HATE
it’s .. boring 
i liked cultist simulator
well, i still like it, but im taking a break bc it consumed my life a bit
i get that
Like you were joining a cult, perhaps, alma?
cultist didnt tickle my fancy
i get why people like it ! it’s just not. something i enjoy
ah ok.. that's way more clearer
my type of games are visual novels and final fantasy
im more of ye-olde rpg
ARPG
like diablo , titans quest, and torchlight
played 8 years of league of legends
sundered left me wanting some more lovecraftian stuff so i got csim
it sucked me in so fast
the writing is just exceptional
Sundered is proper hard tho
i played on easy 
Jotun was cool
i was raised with a world of warcraft obsessed mother so growing up i used to make characters on her laptop and play with them for 3 seconds
and Titan souls was also quite good
Jotun took a considerable amount of my life
i played titan souls in....
did you play Hyper light Drifter?
HLD 
I've heard HLD is good, and I also hear they have a new game coming out
i had to stop at the very first boss because the noise it was making drove me nuts
there was this dash achievement to dash 30 consecutive times
i couldnt even pull off 10
the whole game felt sluggish
i got..........one of the dash achievements....
then they released a 60fps version
and that one was way easier
but if you want a legit challenge
HLD on 30 fps
ok i just checked with a video. those slime noises are still absolute hell on my ears
hahaha XD
i wanna play hld but i should play my other games first
what games you got
a lot my dude
oh i did put one in my profile lol
Alma, I support your average game completion rate, please never change it
Sonic the HedgeGod
valley was nice!! the beby spirits were so cute
omensight?
omensight*
i dont have it
i got both for free
woahhh how
i got stories for free but not omensight
i do have a key for the soundtrack of it tho. so. ill get it one day
it does look good
idk they had a like a release thing where they gave away steam keys
via mail for the people who downloaded stories
it's a very good and interesting game
yeah i got stories through that
im sure it is! grinding for 100% stories was a pain and i dont wanna do it again w omensight
i played a bit of it a longggg time back
got both recently in a bundle
omensight is way more satisfying
and it doesnt deal with the different Deaths scenarios
it's more of a Who did it game
and hack & slash and Clue
omensight is pretty cool! i havent finished it but its very pretty
also wight i know lol. i wanna get a high completion rate but also............. nice
id say its higher than average so still cool
my steam library doesnt show half the game i own
most of em are bought via either GOG or like other launchers
some are physical copies
have you played the other Steam wolrd games
Omensight is really good!
Steamworld dig 1 and 2 are great
i havent played any steamworld game, i just own the one i got for free
ye u can see playtime there !
i... think
maybe i missed making it public but i dont think so
im not proud of my bloated steam library haha
granted i got a LOT of those for free, but still. gotta play the games i buy!
where do i even see my library
that i can share
i kinda only buy games i think are worth it
free games are fine too
@sharp grail ignore the 707 hours on realm grinder >.>
i got a problem xDE
F for wildstar
yeah i also only buy games i think are worth it, i just prefer linear, short, story-heavy experiences
hmm i see i dont have omensight in my steam library, then it was a different service that got me that game
i disctinctively remeber getting it for free
@sharp grail you'd gotta try Forgotton anne then
havent heard of it
Imagine a place where everything that is lost and forgotten goes; old toys, letters, single socks. The Forgotten Lands is a magical world inhabited by Forgot...
it's like a ghibli movie
Is it good
yes
if you like Story drive games
Driven*
and semi-puzzle platforming
this game is a great add
Ive been thinking about getting Caligula Effect Overdose
The gameplay looks interesting
square enix owns my life
i cant find it on steam
forgotton anne @sharp grail ?\
ye
Imagine a place where everything that is lost and forgotten goes; old toys, letters, single socks. The Forgotten Lands is a magical world inhabited by Forgotlings; creatures composed of mislaid objects longing to be remembered again.Forgotton Anne is a seamless cinematic adve...

it's not forgotten, it's forgotton ..
but here you go
That spelling makes a ton of difference
👍
well, another one for the wishlist
😃
Does anyone have a link to that AMA that was gonna happen about the epic client?
I'm not sure where I should begin looking for it
Yeah I can't find it anywhere
I didn't know it was a thing that was happening, but can find no mention of it anywhere either
I was told they world be addressing the epic store stealing information concerns within 24 hours in an AMA
Really disappointing if that did not actually get followed through
Where did that come from?
I saw someone mention it on this server
I'd have a hard time taking that at face value without a direct source
I hope these guys drop scummy epic I've had to drop 3 games on that store so far because the devs refuse to do the right thing
Yeah I don't have a direct quote so I don't expect you to trust me just on my word
Oh, maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're asking
Are you talking about a Supergiant AMA?
I interpreted it as you were expecting an Epic AMA
The SG AMA is always in #ask-supergiant
Yeah, sorry I mentioned there would be a Supergiant AMA. There was an announcement here when it opened, an announcement on Twitter, and an announcement by email, so I figured you would have seen it. I'm sorry if you didn't, but if you'd like, I'm sure you can email SGG directly or mention them on Twitter to ask
It is the weekend so it might be a hot second before they get back to you
Nah I'm sure someone asked what I was after I just had no clue where it was I figured it would be on reddit or something and since I have all servers muted on discord and I don't use twitter because it's a dying cancer I just missed all the announcements
yea ive noticed that i really prefer my traditional art over my digital and aaaaa
its so frustrating
oh that happend to me too but its alright i got used to both after a while
even the more so when i couldnt have a sketchbook/tablet around, just had to work with what i had
@ people who get clean lines ... how
a lot of ctrl z-ing and erasing
yeah
i can do that with enough time but consistent line weights elude me
consistent art style... whats that...
hi there
sorry for stupid question, but is the last announcement about sunday? 17 PT is 3 AM GMT+3, right? And it will be a monday in Europe already?
The announcement that was just sent out a few minutes ago? It's for right now
The stream is live, SG just hasn't started the host yet
Hopefully they fire the host up soon, but until then you can watch there
Right click on the channel name and click Mark As Read

Another one requires knowledge of German.
What do you call an explosive flower?
A boomchen.
I miss vine
I can totally picture one where someone's like, "What do you call a bomb that returns when you throw it. A Boomgrenade comes un from off screen, narrator's scream is cut
Those puns sure are a blast
Yeah they're blowing my mind
SG host of SXSW Gaming Awards is live, if you want to watch but avoid Twitch Chat
AA I DID NOT REALISE LINSDAY WAS THERE,,
HECK YEAH she hosting
That would be amazing.
Hahahaha. I'm digging the stream. So many goosebumps yo! It's such a Diablo 2 feel with great lyrics.
I wonder, did we ever get a full hum cover of all the Transistor songs
oh my word who just heard Darren channeling the spirit of Skully there
So cool seeing them perform! I listen to these soundtracks all the time.
God that was good. I am like swelling with joy with that.
Well said
Proxy asleep at the wheel
Ahhhh awesome job at the awards
tetris effect was actually surprising but genuinely jsutified i think
it killed in terms of audiovisual experience
ok
like i dont think anyone reviewed that game
Back to this
and said it wasnt amazing
I didn't even know it existed
he looks like a movie supervillain
it made some decent headlines
kingdom hearts 3 nominated for most confusing storyline-
where's the link?
evidently it was super trippy in VR
poor didney
Buy Tetris® Effect on PS4: https://store.playstation.com/?resolve=UP0751-CUSA13594_00-TETRISEFFECT0000 Tetris® Effect is Tetris like you've never seen it, or...
if you haven't seen tetris effect - see that

GOTY????

ITS GAME OF THE YEAR
WHAT
That's what I thought...
is a match three gonna be goty???
But then I've only heard of 1 of these games
ive only heard of astroneer
maybe this is a giant category with like 50 games
and they're getting the weakest ones out of the way
i'm still waiting for a game i actually recognize
Are... are they pulling a joke?
none of this makes sense
what
that block hopping game seems like a rip off Crypt of the necrodancer tbh
WHAT????
i feel like i ended up in some alternate universe
yea none of the triple As were there
i think ,,, this is the worst timeline
I mean I would've understood this isn't a big game award show
but
they showed
a triple a game
little big planet 
i'm so confused
we're so used to triple As winning goty we got completely blindsided
what did they do
that guy looks like a HUUUUGE nerd 
what the hell did you two do
im scared
my ears are ringing
"you did this"

i'm so confused

MHW IS SO GOOD UGH
i'm not mad about mhw!
i am genuinely confused
rdr2 is memes
prays
The only appropriate one would be mhw
No God of War?
mhw is So Good
where is the BOI!!
every game award is like this
for the meme PepeHands
i never learn and i keep watching them
its a curse jan
its awkward
they look like they're dressed up in red dead redemption 2
God of war meme has been so well known!!
This game award show went downhill as soon as Ashley and Darren left the stage
The last two game awards that I watched both had SG content, that has made it tolerable
it's okay bdg said celeste is his goty
STAY OFF THE MICROPHONE JESUS CHRIST
and he's right
ashley and darren: [stopped singing]
the award show: 📉
Didn't you guys talk about VR though
oh no, VR again 
wait what, VR again?
VR AGAIN
HUH???
Beat Saber, probably
i thought they said
THOUGH
my head hurts
MOSS <3
this game show award is so appalling
i'm confused and have a headache
Moss doesn't seem like VR
i'm just yelling the names of random games i like
BRO
moss is a game that just like, happened to have a VR mode
we knew this
beat saber again!
let beat saber man rest
Hes the second best part of this whole show
esports award.........2
they should make a rule of not giving the award to a game without a person representing them in the crowd 
FORTNITE AWARD 2

its funny watching it
gotta get to the end
i should have just listened to ashley and darren and then left
It's like a train wreck, jan, you can't look away
now we're in deep
this is just entertaining to watch with you all as we watch together of how horrible this is
also this just started as Darren and Ashley stanning
why are we spending our saturday night like this

SMAAAASH

jesus christ i'm too excitable
Smash is great, but not GOTY imo
LET'S GO SMASH
heck yeah!
Boy of the year
id be happy no matter what
SON OF DAD
BOY OF THE YEAR IS THANATOS-
deserved! 👏
man i sure love that game, atreus's father
Smash Ultimate deserves GOTY too, it's crazy how much they've expanded the franchise to its absolute craziest limit not to mention Sakurai is one of the most dedicated game devs out there
this is awkward
So in my opinion, it's GOTY worthy
i don't have enough testosterone to play dad of war
every time celeste got nominated and not won my heart cried a little
long speech
It's a refined game
should i play celeste i didnt even know what it was until like

Eh, Smash is still deeply flawed
