@hasty kernel I think when I look at my designs, I just think that they feel generic and don't fit exactly with my story goals. Not that I've completed writing many stories.

hasty kernel Dec 29, 2019, 4:00 AM

Mmh

knotty sable Dec 29, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

@slow plover accountability helps a lot! did some mutual comic-creation with some friends and we managed to get some stuff drawn

hasty kernel Dec 29, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

Id try altering them to fit then

slow plover Dec 29, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

I've learned to just skip world-building completely and kinda "create as it's needed"

hasty kernel Dec 29, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

Designs aren't ever final

#

I could never do that, world building is fun

slow plover Dec 29, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

oh, for sure, but it's for nothing if it never gets shown

hasty kernel Dec 29, 2019, 4:01 AM

#

And it's from that that the story idea arises

#

That's why I keep completed world's for future use

#

One video game I really want to make uses a world I made a year or two ago, that went through some revisions

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:11 AM

#

I feel like the older I get, the less punk my worlds are?

#

like, less cyberpunk or solarpunk

hasty kernel Dec 29, 2019, 4:11 AM

#

Ah yes, the classic issue of "punks that got old"

#

I mean, the main one I wanna make is still cyberpunk, I like Cyberpunk

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:12 AM

#

I just don't have enough punkness in myself to pour into my works anymore

hasty kernel Dec 29, 2019, 4:12 AM

#

But the other one is basically 1920s mafia with technomagic

#

I.e. magic that is essentially coding

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

punk is rebellion against a dystopia

#

even if a world is sci fi, it does not auto making it cyberpunk

hasty kernel Dec 29, 2019, 4:13 AM

#

~~I may or may not have chosen a mafia setting for the EXEcutor pun~~

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

mafia like the werewolf game?

hasty kernel Dec 29, 2019, 4:14 AM

#

Cyberpunk doesn't inherently have to be a rebellion, but it has certain elements that make it distinct

#

No as in 1920s mafia aesthetic and themes

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:15 AM

#

not necessarily rebellion as in revolution or anti-gouvernment behaviours

#

but like, the mood is "the world is oppressive, and I'm going to do more than just survive in it"

hasty kernel Dec 29, 2019, 4:16 AM

#

See I don't think a cyberpunk world has to be oppressive

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:16 AM

#

though considering neuromancer, maybe I'm wrong

hasty kernel Dec 29, 2019, 4:16 AM

#

At least

#

No more than ours

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:18 AM

#

"The punk subculture includes a diverse array of ideologies, fashion, and other forms of expression, visual art, dance, literature and film. It is largely characterised by anti-establishment views, the promotion of individual freedom"

#

...lion king suddenly looks punk

slow plover Dec 29, 2019, 4:19 AM

#

it could also be that cyberpunk in general is getting less popular because the whole dystopia thing is looking kinda weak compared to real life (according to most people I know)

hasty kernel Dec 29, 2019, 4:19 AM

#

Anyway it's really late and I should sleep

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:20 AM

#

rest well

#

I wish utopia literature could become more common again

#

like Herland or the like

#

the impossible idealist civilization ~~ruined by the arrival of the protagonists~~

slow plover Dec 29, 2019, 4:22 AM

#

I think that's more of a "don't do that. Don't give me hope." sort of thing

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

maybe

slow plover Dec 29, 2019, 4:23 AM

#

then again, utopia lit is somewhat common on r/HFY

#

so 🤷‍♀️

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

one man's utopia could easily be another's dystopia

#

and pokemon world is pretty utopic, it's also very popular

slow plover Dec 29, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

it's also ancient relatively

#

it's as old as me wow I'm old

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:26 AM

#

you are over a thousand??

slow plover Dec 29, 2019, 4:28 AM

#

I mean, 26 years ago is pretty old, story world wise

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:28 AM

#

wait did you mean pokemon or herland or utopian literature

slow plover Dec 29, 2019, 4:29 AM

#

pokemon world

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:29 AM

#

oh

slow plover Dec 29, 2019, 4:29 AM

#

I was refuting it as a good example by noting its age

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:31 AM

#

26 years is nothing though, it's very young

#

fiction has the potential of eternity

slow plover Dec 29, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

it's not a good example of recently-made utopic world-building

#

fiction has two age standards

#

there's the "it's a classic" age standard, which is usually rated in the hundreds of years

#

and then there's the "it's a meme" age standard, which is rated in months at best

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:34 AM

#

The Good Place then

#

of course, only applicable to selected neighbourhoods

slow plover Dec 29, 2019, 4:34 AM

#

that's fair

#

I've only ever seen that one on an airplane that I didn't have headphones for

#

so idk much about it

grand lichen Dec 29, 2019, 4:35 AM

#

Continuing the conversation from hades-gameplay-

#

To say "procgen is the spirit of roguelikes" is just as broad and unapplicable as saying "mastery through replayability" is

#

I would even go as far as to say that permadeath is more core to what a roguelike is than procgen is

#

Procgen is a means to an end

#

It forces you to learn and engage with the mechanics instead of just learning the levels

#

If a game has procedurally generated levels, but not any kind of permadeath that forces you to go back to those levels over and over again, then it's not really occupying the same genre space as a roguelike

wide ember Dec 29, 2019, 4:52 AM

#

Torchlight has no permadeath I think?

#

My bad, torchlight is dungeon crawl but not roguelike

serene tulip Dec 29, 2019, 5:15 AM

#

yeah, Risk of Rain 2 doesn't have much in the way of procedural generation and its definitely a roguelike

Completely jumping topic. To those who enjoy ASMR, and have a love for Hades and/or Greek Mythos, this video is a godsend.
It the entire "The Odyssey" by Homer. This is super relaxing, and has helped me sleep countless times. And as I've only read the Illiad and Odyssey in Finnish, it was interesting to listen to them in English.

The Odyssey (Complete Story, 3 HOURS) | ASMR Book Reading

Here's to those of you who really enjoyed the Odyssey series. Follow Odysseus from the sack of Troy through Hades and back, to return to Penelope and Telemacus in his kingdom in Ithaca. I like the idea of really long videos that you can watch over multiple nights, so if that'...

bitter surge Dec 29, 2019, 12:18 PM

#

Well, Neither the Iliad and the Odyssey are originally in English or Finnish, both are in Ancient Greek

scarlet chasm Dec 29, 2019, 12:22 PM

#

If I could read or speak Ancient Greek, I'd be on it. Though there was a post on Reddit that apparently Finnish and Ancient Greek have the same sort of grammar and word structure.

wise wolf Dec 29, 2019, 12:32 PM

#

👀 I'm quite skeptical of that because Ancient Greek is an Indo-European language and Finnish is Uralic

#

Ah yeah but found it https://www.reddit.com/r/greece/comments/ecpd98/if_you_speak_finnish_you_speak_ancient_greek/

If you speak Finnish, you speak (ancient) Greek.

Posted in r/greece by u/Finngreek • 18 points and 7 comments

#

It looks like Finnish took a large amount of Greek vocab

scarlet chasm Dec 29, 2019, 12:37 PM

#

Which is surprising, as Finnish is an Uralic or, well- "Suomalais-Ugrilainen" language. There should not be a connection between the two. Finland borrows from the Germanic languages like Sweden and English, Slavic languages like Russian.

#

Though it is good to note, Finnish words in that Reddit post are a bit misstranlated and have "Puhekieli" words in there. Like a commentor posted, "Mä oon" is a spoken phrase, and not grammatically correct. The proper version would be "Minä Olen."

wise wolf Dec 29, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

They're far apart too. It's surprising there is a connection

scarlet chasm Dec 29, 2019, 12:42 PM

#

Most likely a shere coincidence. Reason being that it so happens to be that Swedish, Norwegian and most Germanic languages also fall under the Indo-European language flag, from which Finland borrowed.

bitter surge Dec 29, 2019, 1:56 PM

#

I have a hypothesis that the Finnish word for "Thank you", "Kiitos", comes from Greek Κυδος, where English gets the word "Kudos" from

#

Yes, I have a bachelor's in Linguistics. Why do you ask? 😛

#

And yes, Finnish is Uralic and Greek is Indo-European. I don't think there's a connection either. So I agree with @scarlet chasm

scarlet chasm Dec 29, 2019, 2:04 PM

#

That is very likely, as the neighboring words for "Thank you" are nowhere near "Kiitos." Spasiba in Russian, Tack in Norwegian/Swedish/Danish-

bitter surge Dec 29, 2019, 5:57 PM

#

"Takk"/"Tack" is probably the Norse equivalent of English "Thank" and German "Danke"

#

The language I see that's extremely close to Finnish is Estonian. I think they're related.

elder merlin Dec 29, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

The danish word for "Thanks" is "Tak"

scarlet chasm Dec 29, 2019, 6:31 PM

#

Finnish and Estonian are related. Same language family

#

Though they sound and look the same, a Finnish person can barely understand an Estonian.

Hey, anyone here knows about computer issues?

#

Like, is anyone a technician or can give some solid advice about two issues I have with my computer, please?

wise wolf Dec 30, 2019, 11:54 PM

#

You might have better chance if you straight up explain what is wrong.

faint panther Dec 30, 2019, 11:55 PM

#

You're right, maybe someone else encountered the same issue and managed to fix it. Okay then.

#

So, funny story. I've got another problem with my computer now that also cannot seem to be able to resolve at all now. It's infinite restarting. Even when I am shutting it down from the windows icon. I'll have to press the power button and hold it down in order to shut my computer completely now. Thanks to some idiots from the electricity company that came here for a checkup in the morning, my computer and my sister's computer have been damaged / afflicted by CMOs bug.
My sister's issue with 9c returned to her computer, too....so, yup, lucky us.
Either we try to manually plug out/install CMOs battery, at least for my Sister's computer to fix it, or wait for another electrical power surge.

#

Second issue is WAY harder than this though, for months now, when I am playing heavy intense/power hungry games, my computer shuts off/restarts, and sometimes does that with the fans spinning too loud, no idea if it's the aftermarket cooler on cpu or gpu's or psu's. Some games like Hades and other similar to that, also Dark Souls II, I can play them fine with no problems for hours. If I play games like Hellblade, AC Origins, Tekken 7, my computer does that.

#

I changed PSU with a new one to make sure it wasn't Power Supply issue, turns out, it isn't power supply, so, some people told me my gpu is failing, but I don't see/notice any artifacts or messed up graphics, my wild idea is it might need change of paste on the gpu, because this started around summer, July-August, after playing AC Origins for hours everyday, and my case was burning hot.

#

That's all, if anyone is kind enough to give me some help or advice or something, I'll be more than indebted.

wise wolf Dec 31, 2019, 12:02 AM

#

The latter definitely sounds like some kind of overheating issue.

faint panther Dec 31, 2019, 12:03 AM

#

I know, right? I changed it paste in the lab like 2 weeks ago when I took it there, and earlier again on the lab 3 months ago.

#

The issue still persists, and I am scared to death it might be my gpu failing.

#

But it can still play games with no errors or issues, just not the super intensive ones anymore.

#

Like, it can play them, but most of the times it will shut down/restart.

#

Kernel-Power error 41 = computer shut down unexpectedly, tried any solution, nothing, I can confirm it's not software, which makes me even more afraid.

#

So, either my gpu is dying or is overheating.

#

Changed paste to CPU

#

Not gpu.

#

Never changed gpu.

wise wolf Dec 31, 2019, 12:05 AM

#

Have you checked the temperatures with something? Idk if Win can do it out of the box but there's software which can display the temperatures from the sensors.

#

Might give you a clue

faint panther Dec 31, 2019, 12:05 AM

#

I am using Speccy, and temps look fine to me.

#

GPU spikes around 65-68 C

#

Which is okay for GTX 970 Evga 4gb edition.

wise wolf Dec 31, 2019, 12:06 AM

#

having been frying my laptop at 98°C at some point yeah that's fine

faint panther Dec 31, 2019, 12:07 AM

#

I heard if GPU goes above 90c it usually shuts down the computer but I don't know anymore.

wise wolf Dec 31, 2019, 12:07 AM

#

Well that's weird. Even if the sensors were broken you'd have to have temperature spikes somewhere.

faint panther Dec 31, 2019, 12:07 AM

#

Maybe it gets hot super fast at a specific moment and that's why it shuts down.

#

Not gonna lie, we had so much heat on summertime this year on Greece.

#

The world is going to worst in summer.

#

Poles changing, global warming and all that.

#

The computer was burning hotter and brighter than the Egyptean sands in AC Origins...

#

I could even fry eggs for example.

#

didn't do that.

#

So, I assume my GPU was like "oof, man" and just started yeeting out.

wise wolf Dec 31, 2019, 12:12 AM

#

Welp, I'm afraid I'm not much of help here really, sorry.

(I took a look and now my chakras are going feral, gotta sleep it off)

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:08 AM

#

duelyst devs really liked to talk about listening to the community and all that stuff but really didnt, the choices they made with their game and how the packs n stuff were handled was just plain bad

#

tbh its quite a while ago

strange terrace Jan 2, 2020, 9:08 AM

#

What were they like?

#

The packs I mean

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:08 AM

#

I often think of what happened to that game. It had so much potential

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:09 AM

#

omg

strange terrace Jan 2, 2020, 9:09 AM

#

lol

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:09 AM

#

I stopped playing when the packs were changed to be less-than-great so cant really remember

rose slate Jan 2, 2020, 9:09 AM

#

At the risk of sounding a bit condescending, you have no idea how much worse they were

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:09 AM

#

I also built a discord bot for them that posted images of the card, its stats/abilities and what the keywords in those were

#

being a poor af dude I asked if they could host it or anything, 2/3 of them said yes for sure and then just never got back/ignored me constantly

rose slate Jan 2, 2020, 9:10 AM

#

There were a lot more screw ups that were hidden from the community

#

Like the data leak

#

And people literally cheating to get top spots on the ladder

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:11 AM

#

tbh, someone should buy em out/grab the game and just like, change some stuff on it and voila

#

cause its a great game if you just look at the game

strange terrace Jan 2, 2020, 9:12 AM

#

What makes it great

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:12 AM

#

IMO the art style, the factions and cards and the grid system

#

like it had a fairly good amount of cards and factions

#

albeit some were broken but thats just cause they didnt balance for crap, n power creeped

grizzled anchor Jan 2, 2020, 9:13 AM

#

hah that's why everyone should play hearthstone because it totally doesn't cost a fortune to play at all GWbratWhy

rose slate Jan 2, 2020, 9:14 AM

#

They took out a lot of the features that made it unique though

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:14 AM

#

Duelyst is one of the few card games where I had lots of different decks and stuff

#

and yeah towards the end

rose slate Jan 2, 2020, 9:14 AM

#

Like 2 draw, directional abilities

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:14 AM

#

but like, idk early access or a few months prior to the first expansion, it was really good at one period of time

rose slate Jan 2, 2020, 9:15 AM

#

Yeah it had some really good traction

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:15 AM

#

OH

#

wasnt there some tournament that was awful

#

league did a better job doing a tournament and it was literally just run by 1 guy on his weekend lmao XD

rose slate Jan 2, 2020, 9:16 AM

#

There were many you really need to be more specific

#

Lol

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:16 AM

#

dunno

#

I remember there being a crappy tournament

strange terrace Jan 2, 2020, 9:17 AM

#

Grid system?

rose slate Jan 2, 2020, 9:17 AM

#

The grandmaster tournament was a letdown

#

Mechs won

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:17 AM

#

yeah its played on like an 8x8 grid

#

like chess

rose slate Jan 2, 2020, 9:17 AM

#

I think it was 5x9

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:17 AM

#

not sure was just giving an example

rose slate Jan 2, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

Yeah ik

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

i'd recommend looking up a vid from the early days

#

it was a fun game

#

devolved real quickly tho

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

All I remember is I enjoyed the game before it went to crap and I made a discord bot for them and they promised they'd help host it and stuff since the community really seemed to like it tbh

#

think I have some gameplay footage somewhere

rose slate Jan 2, 2020, 9:19 AM

#

I think this is the first time im learning why you left

You really lashed out at everyone that asked

Maybe lashed out is too strong

Yeah good old days ;-;

#

life n family stuff was oof back then

rose slate Jan 2, 2020, 9:20 AM

#

Thats fair

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:21 AM

#

shame it died the way it did

#

reminds me of that game

#

skyforge

#

super awesome on release, bit behind the korean version but that happens.... and then the publisher really started adding their own crap, reworked some systems so it was grindy

#

literally reset everyones account like 6 months after it had launched and just gave out some skill points and a free class or something

rose slate Jan 2, 2020, 9:22 AM

#

Lol

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:22 AM

#

it became p2w

#

like they give money for winning the monthly pvp battles

#

so u spend like 1k to boost ur character and level as much as you can and then ya win like 500

#

;-; greed just ruins so many games

rose slate Jan 2, 2020, 9:24 AM

#

Yep

#

Never let marketing people run a project

strange terrace Jan 2, 2020, 9:24 AM

Interesting

grizzled anchor Jan 2, 2020, 9:27 AM

#

if artifact devs try to redeem themselves like no man sky devs the game wouldn't be in such a tragic state such as now

#

who would have though people would not like to pay for a card game then continue being forced to pay for in-game packs

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

biggest game comeback story IMO

#

FFXIV

grizzled anchor Jan 2, 2020, 9:30 AM

#

i don't have any recollection of that game

strange terrace Jan 2, 2020, 9:35 AM

#

Game is great

#

It was trash but they essentially rereleased it

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:35 AM

#

went from trash to like, 2nd most played mmorpg, only 2nd to wow

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:36 AM

#

Which is actually not that great of a feat

#

I think you need to be zombie with half brain blown away to design MMO worse than 99% of what is on market

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:37 AM

#

:T

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:37 AM

#

In fact even the recollection of what is MMO supposed to be, and impression of what MMO is in new generations is completely skewed

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:37 AM

#

dont think its easy

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:37 AM

#

Well nothing is easy.

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:37 AM

#

I think it's pretty insane what they did

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:38 AM

#

Ok, what makes it so special ?

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:38 AM

#

housing, raids/8man dungeons/dungeon systems, mechanics in fights, the flying on chocobos, the public event system

#

its all polished insanely well

#

they ended up dropping PS3 support the other year because they wanted to improve the game more but couldnt because of technical limitations

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:40 AM

#

That is exactly problem with today game industry. It functions on premise: You know that great game that made lot of money last year? Well we will make the same just bbigget, better and more polished.

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:40 AM

#

that hardly ever happens

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:40 AM

#

Result: 16 years of failed WoW clones

#

We literally didnt have good MMO for 16 years. Can you imagine that

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:40 AM

#

hardly any devs just make a bigger better and polished version of a game

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:41 AM

#

@fallen charm exactly

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:41 AM

#

there are tons of good MMORPGs out there though

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:41 AM

#

Yea ? Ok I like to be amused 😄

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:41 AM

#

GW2, SWTOR, WOW, FFXIV, BDO

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:42 AM

#

Are you asian or do you like asian games, culture ?

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:42 AM

#

i'm not asain, and I just like good games

#

SWTOR is western, BDO is korean(?), FFXIV is Japa and WOW is western

#

pretty spread out

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:43 AM

#

Koreans and Chinese kind of hijacked the MMO in last 10 years

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:43 AM

#

it's pretty amazing to go from an awful game to 2nd best in the genre

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

SWTOR is one of last western MMOs launched wopping 12 yerars ago

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

does it matter where its from?

#

i'm saying its an amazing feat

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

Can you imagine that ? 12 years ago since we had major western MMO released

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

doesnt matter who did it

#

MMORPGs just arent as popular here

#

western devs have better things to make

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

Does not matter if you like playing Lollis, girls in heavy armor and high heels, gender locked classes

#

Should I go on

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

I don't think you really understand

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

or I don't understand what you're trying to explain

strange terrace Jan 2, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

I think this conversation has sorta devolved so

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

Yea. I dont think you do.
WoW kind of changed MMOs to this quest hub based, group dungeon, THEMEPARK games

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

imo going from a awful-tier game to 2nd best, is an insane accomplishment

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

I am not saying FFXI is bad

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

you mean mmorpg? not mmo

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

In fact its probably second best MMO made in last 10 years

fallen charm Jan 2, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

...

#

fortnite is an mmo, did u see how popular that got

#

i think you're a bit confused genre wise

cold kiln Jan 2, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

I am saying that MMORPG genre is sad, died corpse of itself. I am major fan of the genre. And there is not day that i think how bad it failed

#

Ok. What is Ultima online ?

#

mmorpg ? mmo ? Something else ?

#

I am writing mmo, instead of full mmorpg just to make it shorter to type

#

But anyway FFXII good game, no doubt about it. State of MMORPGs today, horrible

#

Thats what i mean

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

Oh, people were talking about Duelyst

#

Good game, horribly managed, and eventually they just dropped it to work on Godfall

#

Which they inexplicably got support from gearbox and sony for

#

It's even a PS5 launch title

#

And I'm just confused how, given that the studio is anything but qualified

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

loot driven third person arpg
is that a joke??

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

Nope

#

They even called it a "looter-slasher"

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

love how they don't even mention duelyst on the about us page of their website

#

or anywhere else on that website apparently

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

I mean the background is from Duelyst, but otherwise, yeah

#

Its an abandoned game that they mismanaged to its death

#

Not exactly something you wanna put on your website

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

it was a long-form project with great art and interesting mechanics

#

i think you should display your failures

#

but that's just me

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

You should, but it would give people pause given that Godfall appears to be a "games as a service" style game

#

So they just bury any mentions of it

#

They have claimed that they might return to Duelyst eventually, but I find the odds of that to be miniscule

#

Which is a shame, it was a very good game, until they started messing up

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

yeah, in that instance brand recognition might be a very harmful thing

#

too bad about duelyst, truly the most innovative ccg to come out in recent years

#

faeria could be mentioned as well but does it deserve it?

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

I mean Faeria is well designed

#

I dont enjoy it personally, its too slow for my taste

#

But its neat

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

same, i like the concept but playing it is a chore

#

also i got scammed and that didn't feel great

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

Ive kind of been bouncing between card games since

#

Now Im just waiting for Legends of Runeterra

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

i stuck with hearthstone for far too long

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

Honestly, HS gets a worse rep than it deserves

#

Its fine

#

Not amazing by any means, but fine

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

it's alright but it shouldn't be in such a mediocre state at this point in its lifecycle

#

and the price of playing that game is dreadful

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

Yeah the price is unfortunate

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

but yeah that kinda burned me out of cardgames tbqh

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

Im also annoyed with the "class identity" nonsense they brought up a while back

#

Which basically said "rogue can only ever be tempo rogue, but Warrior can play all archetypes"

#

And even then they didnt follow their own outlined class identities, as Warrior got several things that were supposed to be weaknesses

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

yeah, every class can do most anything nowadays and it's a little dumb???

#

and every single expansion you face three decks on ladder for six months straight

#

fun stuff

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

But yeah, LoR was hella fun in the preview weeks

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

seemed like it yeah

#

i've seen some gameplay here and there, not really interested but it seems like it could easily find its place next to hs at the top of the online ccg foodchain

lament steppe Jan 2, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

if I get into LoR after release I might drop hs entirely

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

i mean

#

why are you still playing hs

lament steppe Jan 2, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

bc I'm f2p and grind single-player content

#

I do ladder for quest gold and that's it

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

they haven't released good sp content since loe

lament steppe Jan 2, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

as an f2p with no decks? they didn't release any good sp content until kobolds

#

and it looks like they're iterating away from the model soon

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

eh, their samey, endless deckbuilders aren't good imo

lament steppe Jan 2, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

hs has always been a flavor game for me

#

actual gameplay is just a necessary evil

wise wolf Jan 2, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

I used to play HS but honestly, getting stuff as f2p is just asking for addiction and then you feel anxious about not having time completing quests, not to mention that then you play the game only to complete the quests and that's it.
And I wouldn't even consider paying for it tbh because it's a giant moneysink. Like if it had a reasonably priced subscription in order to play, it would be worth considering. But the packs are ridiculously overpriced when compared to full costs of normal games.

lament steppe Jan 2, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

which is why the recent single player content is so nice, it asks nothing of your resources except some initial gold grinding to unlock it, then you get a nice varied game every time

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

oh yeah, as a f2p, dropping it for like two weeks allowed me to remove it from my life entirely

#

incredible how games as a service f you up

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

LoRs f2p model seems decent, but Im mostly looking forward to the gameplay

#

I actually really like the champion system

#

Its very flavourful and fun

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

certainly better than artifact's

#

rip pepehands

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

Ah, Artifact

#

The most spectacular failure yet

#

Honestly it was easy to predict that it would fail, but even then I underestimated how fast

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

yeah, too bad it crashed that way

#

frankly a great card game

#

here's hoping the long haul actually goes somewhere

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

I doubt it

#

Even on the offchance that it does, it will likely be quite different

#

Honestly, Im a bit glad that it crashed

#

It provides a cautionary tale for future card game devs

#

Dont be greedy, or your game might flame out in a week

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:42 PM

#

legit far less greedy than most ccgs but go off ig

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

Not really, before it crashed the cost of a full set was 350$ or so

#

Which is a bit more than HS

#

Except unlike HS, all that cost was in the actually good cards

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

yeah that's mostly bc the playerbase was tiny and people were tryna make a quick buck

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

Nah, its just simple mathematics

#

Noone is gonna sell at a loss

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

the system was certainly not perfect but it was functional

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 2:44 PM

#

Functionally awful

#

350$ was the norm, thats where the price should stabilize

#

Because the people selling on the market dont want to lose out on money

#

So the cost of the set on the market had to be the average cost of the packs you need to have the full set, multiplied with 1.15

#

And without mandatory paid drafting, there was no way to have supply exceed demand like it does on MODO

#

Artifacts model was basically MTGs model but worse, and for all of HSs fault, one of the main things people liked about it is that its cheaper than MTG

#

Or basically any paper card game

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

i mean yh a trade rework would have been ncessary down the line

#

i didn't care much for that aspect tbh, weaker cards still worked and i'm more of a drafter anyway

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

They had no plans for that

#

Allowing players to trade meant that they would lose out on that sweet 15% cut on every transaction

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

with sufficient backlash they'd have had to do it but instead the game instantly died

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

True, perhaps

#

I mean, they didnt even plan to have free phantom drafts

#

That already required backlash

#

It was just overwhelmingly greedy in all aspects, designed to make as much money as possible

#

My guess is they figured they had enough goodwill for people to overlook it (much like their lootboxes get overlooked a lot, despite being the worst ones, or how the fact that they popularized them gets overlooked)

#

But they miscalculated

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

which is extremely sad imo becuse the game was good

#

goddam capitalism am i right fellas

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

Hear hear

#

Idk about the game, I never tried it, I figure it wouldnt have been my thing either

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

it's like lor but more convoluted and less refined

#

i prefer it personally but i can see how most wouldn't

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

Eh, they really dont have much in common

#

LoR is more magic with concurrent turns

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

have you seen artifact or

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

Yeah

#

In Artifact you dont get to choose who attacks, or who blocks

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

you do but it's less direct

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

Some cards do

#

But the basic game doesnt

#

Plus, no stack either

#

The only thing the 2 games share is that they have concurrent turns, and even those are different

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

concurrent turns and champions and linked spells

#

and yeah lor grabbed some stuff from everywhere

#

but it's the only card game in recent memory to share mechanics with artifact

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

Eh, the champions are very different from artifacts heroes, as are the linked spells

#

Theyre closer to Magics legendary creatures

#

With that one gimmick from Future Sight

#

Grandeur

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

i'm aware but you can't really dismiss the idea that lor devs took some ideas from artifact

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 3:00 PM

#

I can actually

#

Mainly because LoR was worked on before Artifacts gameplay details were announced

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

i see it as a more streamlined version of it that picks and chooses more from other card games than trying like artifact to make its own thing from scratch

#

you do realise that you can change gameplay elements during 1+ year of dev time yes

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

Yeah but we also know that the basic gameplay elements were already in place at that point

#

The only exception are linked spells, since originally champions didnt have them

#

You just couldnt play a champion you had on the board already (like magics legendary creatures)

#

That felt bad, so they added the linked spells

#

Really, its more streamlined magic

#

With a dash of L5R

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

l5r?

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

Legend of the 5 Rings

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

haven't heard of that one before

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

Old CCG set in a tabletop RPG setting

#

Recently rebooted as an LCG by Fantasy Flight Games

#

It has concurrent turns

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

aight neat

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

With the strict alternation that LoR has, using a "First Player Token"

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 3:06 PM

#

which determines what, who has the first action within any given turn?

#

or is it like the attack/defense switch of lor?

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 3:07 PM

#

The former

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 3:08 PM

#

so moreso akin to artifact's iniative system then

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

Not exactly

#

In Artifacts system initiative passes back and forth

#

In LoR and L5R it doesnt

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

you're gonna have to be more explicit because artifact's initiative system can be somewhat convoluted

#

do you mean within the same turn or from turn to turn?

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

From turn to turn

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

or does the initiative just never change in l5r? and one player always gets to make the first action?

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

I mean no

#

Within the turn

#

In L5R, if you just went first, youre going second next turn, always

#

In Artifact, thats not quite the case

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

yeah, initiative manipulation is very important there

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

Right

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

they might've iterated on l5r's systems, i'd never heard of it before, gonna dig for a sec

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

LoRs system is more L5Rs with the only change being alternating attacker/blocker setup

#

Which is probably to bring it closer to magic

#

Hence also having 2 main phases, one before and one after combat

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

yeah no i see the similarities more now

#

haven't been exposed to mtg before so i just linked it to what few experiences felt similar

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

Well Ive followed LoR closely so I knew a bit more

#

Like the fact that the devs are long-time magic enthusiasts

#

Kinda gives it away a bit

willow ferry Jan 2, 2020, 4:50 PM

Outer Wilds is far and away my game of the year for 2019

south shadow Jan 2, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

I replayed Bastion/Transistor and Terraria this year, but looking at those "Wilds" from time to time too... Still haven't made my mind to buy this game...

raven harbor Jan 2, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

I will say that it's not quite for everyone (specifically if the idea of feeling really small in space is a paralyzing one)

wide ember Jan 2, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

do ants even care of their smallness? one may bite me while knowing I’m thousands times bigger

#

We should think like ants

south shadow Jan 2, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

I can imagine real proportions of stellar systems so player/ships do not look "so small" in steam videos. Just can't figure out what gameplay is there... But don't wan't to watch playthroughs on youtube because steam tags have "mystery" (and I don't want to ruin it)

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

Ants aren't sapient, I don't think.

#

They at least don't have the self-preservation instinct to say "If this retaliates, I will die."

#

or “I will die biting this huge monster: worth it”

raven harbor Jan 2, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

I can try to summarize without spoiling anything

#

The best descriptor is that it's an environmental exploration game where you fly a ship to different planets to unravel a mystery

wide ember Jan 2, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

when you put it that way it applies to no man’s sky too, lionheart

k

#

and back to ant convo, humans are unique next to birds in that we have evolved significant self-control/impulse control

#

most animals on earth have much less impulse control and act without thinking of long term consequence

#

human, dogs, wolves, some birds etc. however have better “future vision” able to plan and envision long term consequences in scale of days or years in advance

south shadow Jan 2, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

The best descriptor is that it's an environmental exploration game where you fly a ship to different planets to unravel a mystery
That much I've figured myself... But will I like it or not depends on the details of mystery and on the "instruments" I can use as a player... Well... looks like the only way is to try it out...

raven harbor Jan 2, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

So what I suggest is that you pick it up and refund it if it's not to your tastes (Steam has an extremely generous refund policy, and Epic has one but they're very strict about "2 hours of playtime")

#

You will absolutely know within that time if this is a game you will enjoy

#

Unlike some other games that take 4+ hours to really get off the ground

south shadow Jan 2, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

Haven't refunded anything yet so I was not considering this option. Thanks for the idea, @raven harbor !

wise wolf Jan 2, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

Doesn't Steam have the two hours thing too?

#

Valve will, upon request via help.steampowered.com, issue a refund for any reason, if the request is made within the required return period, and, in the case of games, if the title has been played for less than two hours.

#

@raven harbor @south shadow

faint panther Jan 2, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

you can play for more than that and still get a refund, they're very lenient about that "requirement"

hasty kernel Jan 2, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

Yeah they do, anyway

#

Outer Wilds' gameplay is really just exploration

raven harbor Jan 2, 2020, 8:52 PM

if you're asking this question out of your own experience you should perhaps stop drinking coffee now 👀

I think that pot I put on the floor somehow moved like 5 inches without anyone touching it

it's probably just because it was still shaking when I put it down and the unevenness of its bottom made it move as it vibrated (falling few millimeters on one side more than the other every back-n-forth)

still looks eerie, I should probably borrow a cat or aim a mirror at it just in case?

I've wholly enjoyed the stories and characters of the Persona content I've consumed but they also tend to do a lot of things that I really wish they didn't

faint panther Jan 4, 2020, 5:59 AM

#

Look, jokes aside, P3 and P4 REALLY deserved their remakes, the content was justified for the price tag back then + given that they both were like SUPER old games. P5 was out in a full price for what? A year or two, barely? And that "remake" just doesn't sit well. If you are a new player and thinking of buying it, congrats! You got every right, I support the idea. But at least as a company with structure, HAVE the damn common courtesy of making a separate DLC file which can properly update the vanilla main game, it's not like the game's 5-10 years old to do something like that in the first place, and it's not like they actually reworked everything in the game.

like i paid 55$ initially for persona 5

i bought an entire ps4 just to play persona 5

and i legit have not once regretted it

that being said

making it so people have to repay full price just for at most 20 hours more of content?

not really epic

Look at h bomberguys dark souls vids there cool

faint panther Jan 4, 2020, 6:08 AM

When DS2 came out, I was like "oh great, another "challenging" crap." little did I know the trailer sold me well, grabbed the game as a rent on my PS3, played it, finished it, had the BEST time of my life ever, years later got PS4 and BB together, it was worth every single euro, then I got DS3 on my Steam, worth it and loved it, re-bought DS2SotFS on Steam, finished it, both 100% , worth it.

faint panther Jan 4, 2020, 6:14 AM

Eh, if a game needs to have a pvp, I would like it to be like official arena or something when people WANT to go and pvp and not forced, reasons I hated SB community was that.

But in BB you can at least shut off the pvp.

Yes, I did but dropped it, watched the anime.

I wonder if she actually kept them, or if its just her mom superpower of being able to find anything youve lost in a place youve already looked

wide ember Jan 4, 2020, 9:42 PM

if my mother keeps anything it will be bound to be lost, so probably she kept them and mom superpower is just mom keeping track of where things are

unless my mother has anti-mom power: assure that things are lost when needed

my mom also found my driving test results from when i was 19 so i think it's the mom superpower of just keeping anything vaguely important

north hamlet Jan 5, 2020, 12:24 AM

i enjoyed it a lot

but that doesn't mean you will

#

it's been out for a while so it would probably go on sale every once in a while

#

and the epic store has given it away for free twice already

#

so if you're not sure maybe wait for something like that

#

the game is definitely well made, regardless of whether you will find it enjoyable or not

hexed hollow Jan 5, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

a good way imo to know if it's worth while buying for you is to watch gameplay or play the game for a bit on a friends account (if you know someone who owns the game)

I have hld but haven't played it yet

kinda same like MH right?

kinda but not really, they're the same in that you fight big monsters and use them to craft your gear

but that's about it

#

Mon Hun World is by far the most accessible in the series so far, and if you do play it I'd recomend giving every weapon a play to see what weapon(s) fits your playstyle the most

also is super not single player friendly

Theyre in the same genre, but their gameplay is different

Id also thrown in God Eater here

Its the most fast-paced of the monster hunter-genre

Its also very accessible, but with crazy potential depth due to the bullet system alone
