Okay

@broken adder is it possible that your friend can give you steam credit instead?

broken adder
#

I don't think so. He's got the money in his steam wallet already. 😦

sudden torrent
#

there is no real way I think, at least that isn't convoluted to do. the region purchase is a bit of a pain and only accepts if you buy games for friends if your price is higher than theirs. Saying it as I tried myself with no luck since my prices were lower due to regional pricing.

dry stratus
#

I once gifted a sg game to someone in a similar server but I believe I did so through buying them steam credit, or a steam gift card code

broken adder
#

It's dumb as we have enough money combined

#

I can spend £4 towards it

#

and he has more than enough in his steam wallet

sudden torrent
#

if he has the money I think he can give steam gift card code so to purchase it. there is no region block for them as I recall.

broken adder
#

It's in his steam wallet already though

#

God this sucks. I feel awful and don't know what to do.

#

@broken adder Create a new Steam account of your country for your friends and pay the game for that account. He'll be able to play it with that account even if he doesn't live in the same country that you

broken adder
#

I don't want to have to make a new account for it

mild pelican
#

it would be nice if there would've been a way to get money from steam back

idk.. it started in 2016 and goes on still

more and more people being taken away, either world famous, or in my country

although it will be the third time this month

Wingspan, Phasmophobia and Hades all release this month...

#

and Fall Guys was the month before

mild pelican
#

some events just don't have positive sides

broken adder
#

meanwhile rest of the year, nothing

mild pelican
#

um.. cyberpunk?

flat prism
#

I feel like I'm personally getting back on the rise, after physically and emotionally dropping dead for half the year

#

It's taking a ton of effort to keep everything together but trying

mild pelican
#

yeah.. that's nice

flat prism
#

The whole have classes from home thing and not seeing friends really screwed us over

#

I still miss uni

cyberpunk didn't come out yet

opposite here.. students have to go to study every day, while numbers were rising, and they still are

#

I'm talking about Jan - July

#

There's only been like 2 or 3 good games

#

then September has 3

flat prism
#

I feel like games like Hades are what kept me somewhat sane

mild pelican
#

lastly i feel like returning to old good ones more and more often

#

somehow nothing from recent times attracts me anymore

#

neither in games, nor in movies or shows

#

Hades is one of few exceptions tbh

Same rly, only genshin is somewhat interesting but I know I'll drop it at some point and go back to hades

I’ve immediately learned that my callouses are no longer there lmao

#

But I’ve got the jist of it down, it’s just learning the rhythm of it now and getting used to it, dudes got a knack for making simple stuff sound angelic

humble sorrel
#

The music overall sounds simple but sounds angelic as hell/epic

#

I still think my favorite tracks still have to be "God of the Dead" and "In the Blood"

pale tundra
#

i don't think i've heard god of the dead yet

#

i'll have to look that one up

humble sorrel

It's SO damn good

Well, you kinda hear it during a boss fight

but that would be spoiling

ooooh, okay

Hello guys nice to meet you all.

fringe dirge
neon frigate
#

So I been hearing hades is a very colourful artstyle game.

#

:)

velvet fjord
#

all their games are

neon frigate
#

I see. Nice I enjoy colourful games.

#

I easy get bored of playing standard Aaa games nowadays.

#

Like the assassin's creed odyssey game. That game open world is so boring to play.

#

Hey guys is it OK for me to post other drawings in the fan work page?

north hamlet
#

no, it's for fan art and such only

mild pelican
#

is there some good photo hosting site that allows more than 10 images without subscription? maybe with folders

dry stratus
#

w/ sgg artstyle and colours: it's definitely nice to see video games that demonstrate an understanding of colour theory

fringe dirge
#

is that why it feels so vibrant?

#

i have absolutely no art education

dry stratus
#

ive been thinking a lot lately about how so many prominent games just... don't have that. a demonstration of color and light esp within environments and backgrounds

#

yeah yeah!

#

lol so many people joke about not knowing colour theory and it is v relatable

fringe dirge
#

now, when you say "light", does that mean lighting tech or like the way light would fall on things that don't simulate a light source?

dry stratus
#

actually your second point is part of color and light!! truthfully I'm still in the beginning learner stages of it myself. like, surface reflections are part of your second point

fringe dirge
#

yeah i've just been haunted by that UE5 tech demo from a couple months back and how incredible their light simulation tech is, which is why i asked

mild pelican
#

well, afaik, you can't just level up brightness and call it a lighter version of a colour

#

sometimes hue have to be changed as well, and saturation as well

dry stratus
#

idk colour theory and how light affects colours is so intoresting. one of my fave examples of lighting is how light affects skin, on various skin tones and various body parts eg ears vs hands

#

id also imagine that making a colour brighter for highlights is boring

mild pelican
#

once i've made a palette for 16-bit systems, for "true" pixelart.. and when i've studied references, it appeared that lighting was made not only by leveling one value in one direction straight

#

it's complicated

dry stratus
#

volfredthink that does sound complicated. ive found that pixel art very much exposes the kind of colors and light the artist/s use

#

v grateful for this conversation because ive been dreaming of talking colours for a while now squirtnya

fringe dirge
dry stratus
#

the demo very much reminds me of the color and light book by james gurney. very nice

fringe dirge
#

i'm just jazzed as hell about the horror game implications of organic light behavior

dry stratus
#

unreal engine haunts me. once went to a demo day at a creative industries school and some sixteen year old who trained at a game company alongside my friend wouldnt shut up about how unreal engine was the only worthy engine. when questioned if he knew ori and the blind forest, he replied in the negative

#

too true

mild pelican
#

well, i'll be honest, it doesn't seem to me that Unity is that good for 2d games

#

2.5d - yes, maybe.. otherwise there are a lot of complications

#

however, i'ts good for advanced parallax

dry stratus
#

ive honestly just heard that unity is **average

mild pelican
#

i will miss Flash

#

it was not the best choice either, but come on

dry stratus
#

oh flash games were cool

mild pelican
#

Unity was meant to replace Flash in web pages at some point, but then switched to something standalone

#

afaikiirc

dry stratus
#

🙁

mild pelican
#

i just hope, lack of updates will not screw up already existing flash apps

#

maybe people will come up with alternative

#

it's a huge chunk of internet art and culture, it can't be just shut down for nothing

dry stratus
#

the thought of that is sad and a little terrifying ngl

#

my fave part of flash was viewing nico videos and pausing the vid and watching graphics still moving within the video

#

youtube could never

mild pelican
#

there were already some examples when hosting sites were like "we gonna shut down forever, everything you've made and shared at ours, will be lost forever, good luck and thanks"

#

like viddler.. youtube killer.. or that site for amateur flash developers, i don't even remember the name anymore

solemn sierra
#

Newgrounds will have its own wrapper, so old flash stuff on there will be fine

mild pelican
#

what about other sites though?

solemn sierra
#

Will work on other sites. They're likely using ruffle which is open source.

#

Whenever I see Unity though, I assume performance is going to be poor, and that's usually more the case than not, despite the impressive tech demos.

A bit off topic from off topic here but I need to know something real quick, are the game roles for which games you have or which you take participation in discussion of? I should get the bastion role if it's the former.

It is truly one of the dumbest, most pointless ongoing "wars" we've been in. It's kinda sad that over the years, I've become less and less proud to be American

#

Ouch.

mild pelican
#

idk if we'll ever see the world without wars

faint panther
#

Like, the Earth itself?

mild pelican
#

especially these times, it's one of the most pointless things

faint panther
#

Maybe, as we leave the planet and start wars elsewhere.

#

I kinda wanna move to the Netherlands or something...but eh, I have no means to do that, maybe never will

#

I'd move to Canada or Europe if they'd let filthy Americans in right now or the US's economy weren't specifically designed to screw food service workers.

#

Living in a place where I could get everywhere I need by foot or bike would already be an improvement. I hate having to drive a car everywhere

#

I could kinda do that in Denver, Colorado, but not in Oklahoma.

#

Even when I was attending university there weren't any grocery stores near campus.

Had to drive to either Wal-Mart or Reasor's.

sudden torrent
#

that isn't how Discord friend requests work and that is one old copypasta I see.

north hamlet
#

When you see a chain (anything that is being shared around very quickly), there is a 99% chance it is fake;
If the chain: (A) claims to be someone important/be some staff/be part of the Discord team/be part of a company's team; (B) threatens you to share it; (C) foresees some absurd future; then you can freely yell at the person who sent it and tell them the truth, because it means they are potentially among scammers' targets and are potentially gullible enough to fall for other scams.
Do not ever share a chain.

#

also that wouldn't work over discord

#

and may be someone's attempt to harass a legitimate user

#

although you probably don't want to accept friend requests randomly anyway

I'm looking for really nice headphones that can be bluetooth or wired, any recommendations?

@silent willow
sony xb90 - that's what i'm using

#

it's nothing fancy, but you they're super comfy, sound nice, great battery life and the price isn't too steep either

#

wait, no
that's not the name

#

um...
it's sony xb650

north hamlet
#

i recommend not getting wired ones or getting ones with a removable and replacable cable

#

just because it's always the cable that dies first

royal relic
#

imho that depends on what you're using them for
like... for my pc? i always go wired

#

but when i'm out and about - i always take a bluetooth headset
since i'm gonna be throwing them in a bag or whatever constantly

fringe dirge
#

dont u mean sony ps650

royal relic
#

no

north hamlet
#

i use urbanears plattan 2 for phone/outside and logitech g935 at home

#

so i can vouch for both of those being worth buying

#

the plattan can be bluetooth and wired, plus the audio jack on it can be used to chain on someone else's headphones

#

their stuff is generally pretty durable

#

and in many colours

#

on the small end tho so not comfortable for everyone's head, and fairly good audio as opposed to very good

#

g935 can be 3.5 jack or wireless receiver

#

good sound quality and wireless range

#

mic mute can be buggy and it is a little large for me so I'm always worried about it falling off my head

@fervent zenith legit like they really just said "hey can i copy your homework" and then changed the names of the greek mythos and slightly altered their appearances

broken folio
#

there are differences

#

but people in general overlook how much of ancient religion is one long long game of copypasta

#

(and yes the romans def copied a lot but they're not the same in how they were worshipped or in the characterization of characters: see Ares being much more hotblooded/buffoonish in Greek while Athena is The Awesome War God; Romans otoh really quite revere Mars (Ares) as the war god [and Mithras, a foreign god as well] and Minerva (Athena) is significantly lesser as a war goddess in their mythos)

No one would read them so there's no use

#

Also @cursive pivot what abomination is THAT

cursive pivot
#

understand the funny image

north hamlet
#

@obsidian timber now that you've said that i will read them purely to prove you wrong

obsidian timber
#

You monster!

#

One is a full set and the other is a base that I'm gonna expand upon

#

The full one:

#

Overwatch fan-song abour Widowmaker

#

The base one:

#

This one's about my own game, Angel & King, and is from the PoV of Samuel's mother

#

Lament For Me will also be from Sam's own point of view for the second portion and the final portion is from both of their perspective's

north hamlet
#

can't make full judgement without music but i think they are good

#

second one is expressive without being too wordy and has nice implied cadence

#

can't comment as much on first since i do not french or overwatch

#

but that is like a lot of french

#

are you fluent?

obsidian timber
#

Not particularly. A few bits are my own, but most are excerpts. The italicized ones are a reference to a 16th century French poem about how love is torment called "Je vis, je meurs" and the chorus has a French saying "Araignee du matin, chagrin; araignee du soir, espoir." which means "Spider in morning, grief; spider in evening, hope"

north hamlet
#

oh that's cool

obsidian timber
#

The saying is obviously a reference to Widowmaker's spider motif, and Je Vis, Je Meurs is used because the songs about how Widowmaker was brainwashed and used to kill her own husband which further broke her mind.

north hamlet
#

very good fit

obsidian timber
#

With Lament For Me, the chorus is basically meant to represent a few things. Firstly, it's how, even if Samuel never really knew his mother and Maria wasn't able to spend much time with Samuel, the two cared about each other deeply due to his father Harriet's abusive tendencies. Hence the "Cry, cry, cry" representing that the two will indeed miss each other. The "My, my, my" is how Maria still is very possessive of her son and how Samuel shares a few of those possessive tendencies with his lover Jeremiah. "Bye, bye, bye" is indicative of Maria letting Samuel go, and Samuel learning to move on from his family. "I won't cry for you" is how Maria still is somewhat racist toward Lycanthropes and therefore does not pity the issues Sam and Jer will face because she thinks it's deserved, and also how Sam doesn't particularly pity his mother for staying with his father because he knows that she's more than capable of leaving. And then "I'll lament for you" is representing how Maria doesn't want to see her son leave, but also how Sam doesn't want to leave his mother in a bad situation because he knows about her dependency issues.

ok random, greek mythology related question, because i have no better place to ask this and google isn't helping

#

what relation did greeks burying bodies historically have to greek mythology?

#

or, even if not historical, what would be some decent explanations for that?

#

cause it seemed like greeks had traditions and rituals for burying the dead, burying them with jewelery and in expensive crypts if they could be afforded

north hamlet
#

if it's like any other burial rite the stuff you put in the tomb with the body is supposed to go with the person to the afterlife

#

also hades was the god of the figurative and literal underworld to some extent so that might also be related

#

I'm not a historian or anything though so don't take this as fact

somber yoke
#

i know the greeks put coins in the dead person's mouth as a toll for Charon

@fervent zenith they played some of the least-heard tracks like Dormant (Transistor), and left out many of the typical favourites (Setting Sail, Coming Home, Paper Boats, ...), so my impression was they intentionally wanted to put an orchestral performance out there for some of the tunes that haven't already got the same loving several times

Medium Rare is acceptable, well done is just a waste of good steak

MEDIUM RARE IS SO WACKK

LIKE U CAN SEE AND TASTE THE BLOOD

hasty kernel

Its not blood

exotic ice
#

what

hasty kernel
#

Its a common misconception, but it just isnt blood

exotic ice
#

wait then whats that red liquid when u cut into a steak then

hasty kernel
#

Its something called "Myoglobin"

#

Its a protein found in muscles

#

An uncooked steak already contains no blood

#

Its red by default, but darkens as it gets exposed to heat

#

Thats why well-done steaks are grey

#

If it were actually blood, itd taste a lot more metallic

exotic ice
#

but i can smell the blood whenever i eat a med steak

#

like u know what i mean

#

u can taste and smell that rawness

hasty kernel
#

I mean you smell the myoglobin

#

But not blood

#

Again, blood has a far more metallic taste and smell to it

#

And yes, that taste is why steak is so good

#

Its likewise inaccurate to say that medium rare or even rare steak is "raw"

#

It is still certainly cooked

#

Hence why its safe to eat

fringe dirge

steak no higher than med rare, burger no lower than med tbh

For me it depends on how the liver is prepared, on a pan like any other steak and no spices? Then no. It's nice when thinly sliced, covered in flour then fried or when cut into little cubes with spices on top. Onions go especially good, fresh tho not cooked

@north hamlet sorry for the late answer it's just that no matter how hard I try none of my gift cards or steam cards work ever. The gaming gods hath frowned upon me and therefore I can't enjoy myself

north hamlet
#

what exactly happens when you use them

zenith hawk
#

Invalid

north hamlet
#

so the cards are invalid?

zenith hawk
#

i guess?

north hamlet
#

dumb suggestion but are you mixing up the game key redemption and wallet fund redemption

zenith hawk
#

nope

north hamlet
#

are you not entering the keys correctly?

zenith hawk
#

every single person in my household tried entering it

north hamlet
#

also where are you getting the cards from

zenith hawk
#

Walmart

north hamlet
#

ok so none of those things

zenith hawk
#

i guess not

north hamlet
#

what exactly are the cards you have?

#

do they give steam wallet funds?

zenith hawk
#

yes I have the 50 dollar one

north hamlet
zenith hawk
#

yep

north hamlet
#

have you tried the common reading errors here?

zenith hawk
#

yep

north hamlet
#

probably best to contact steam support then

#

if it's not any of the normal issues

#

and if they can't help you go to walmart and get a refund

zenith hawk
#

they give you a refund?

#

nice

#

yeah but steam support was no help

#

i called them 2 weeks ago

#

but good to know i can just go to walmart for a refund

north hamlet
#

I don't know if they give refunds but that's what i would do here

zenith hawk
#

o h

#

better to be safe then sorry

north hamlet
#

no walmart where i live

#

also pretty strong consumer protection

zenith hawk
#

alright

north hamlet
#

so no guarantees it'll work for you

#

but worth asking if it's a dud

zenith hawk
#

k

north hamlet
#

also apparently sometimes it'll lock up if you enter invalid codes too many times

#

so maybe wait few hours and try again

zenith hawk
#

i did that may it won't hurt to wait a couple hours again

north hamlet
#

looked it up and walmart won't refund the steam card

#

since they're just distributing it for steam

#

so you'll probably want to call steam support again or go to their website

zenith hawk
#

k

north hamlet
#

also if you haven't also try restarting steam on your computer

#

poked around more and it is also possible the code wasn't activated when you bought it

wow the delay, or rather the lack of it, between an actually notifying ping and reactions is absurd XD

To the entire Supergiant Games team,

You deserve all of the accolades you're receiving. Hades is a master stroke of Roguelite game design that showcases how all of your past experience from prior games benefitted and culminated into the creation of this latest title. A couple of our team have been with you since Bastion back in 2011, so for them Hades' success is no surprise. Keep up the great, often challenging, work and we're looking forward to what you've got next in store for the gaming community.

fervent zenith

Yeah, some games are clearly made for one method or the other

#

Hades doesn't so you do you

junior sapphire
#

feels perfect on the switch but might just get pc version for the heck of it

hexed hollow

cross-saves aren't in the game as of yet

ok, more greek mythology questions, this one is way more open

#

i'm running a dnd campaign where the pantheon are the greek gods, and it's heavily inspired by hades, most of the characters and personalities in hades align

#

but in dnd, there are gods for non greek stuff, like there might be a god of tabaxi or aarakocra

#

and because these are exotic races, i feel like it doesn't make sense for gods to interface with them in the traditional sense

#

so the question, does anyone have a good idea on a nice way to handle this? ideas i had were either

  1. they could be some of the gods "side projects". like maybe hermes saw some eagles one day and was like "heh,i should help these guys out" or whatever, and the other gods don't really interact with it
  2. i could try to get non-olympian gods to interact, but this is where my knowledge of greek mythology starts to fail me, because i don't really know if that's a thing
fringe dirge
#

if what's a thing

meager lantern
#

if non-olympian gods are really a thing, outside of the underworld gods

fringe dirge
#

is your setting just ancient greece in a trenchcoat?

#

because if not, just have multiple pantheons

meager lantern
#

i would like to have a unified pantheon, it makes explanations of things like world creation, who's in power, how praying and whatever balogna works, all a lot simpler

velvet fjord
#

the exotic races could just have a different name for the same gods

upbeat scroll
#

Greek gods (among others) are patrons of all sorts of unrelated garbage, it's not a stretch

fringe dirge
#

something something aarakocra something something the eagles that keep bothering prometheus

meager lantern
#

i don't have any reason in particular to stick to a single pantheon besides that, i just use greek gods because they are known and i have personalities in my head for them (big part from hades)

velvet fjord
#

cough coughromanscough

meager lantern
#

i kind of like the idea of greek gods fighting over who gets the domain of specific emerging races

fringe dirge
#

it's certainly in-character

meager lantern
#

i've always wondered why there are so many

#

not a real question

#

but it feels like it'd be so much nicer in terms of mythos if it was distinguished and discrete

#

hades kind of does this in terms of design, it doesn't really mention characters really ever that aren't integral to the story

fringe dirge
#

it's also worth noting that like. "zagreus" may or may not have been an actual god, we're not sure

#

so there's room in the margins to just. make up greek gods

meager lantern
#

oh yeah i saw a bit about that

#

there's a lot of interpretations of zagreus being hades

fringe dirge
#

i saw more dionysus

meager lantern
#

which makes the game considerably funnier

long geode
#

most olympians have at least one animal under their domain if not many

north hamlet
#

if you wanna have only one pantheon for everyone then figure out what each god's domain is and figure out which would match best

meager lantern
#

yeah but i mean, it's still a question right

long geode
#

i was saying hera has blue birds in her domain

#

thats not nice proxy

meager lantern
#

because if my players interface with a god, they will probably treat them in some specific way because of their races

long geode
#

anyway i was saying. poseidon has horses, hera has cows and those blue birds with the tails

north hamlet
#

also having them worship in their own way and have different names or depictions of them

#

ah peafowl

meager lantern
#

it gets pretty interesting when you start thinking about multiple intelligent races

#

even more so when they are exotic

fringe dirge
#

there's definitely a degree of handwaving to be expected

north hamlet
#

i would start by reading the Wikipedia intros for each honestly

fringe dirge
#

real in-depth up-to-the-elbows worldbuilding so that everything makes sense is more the purview of novels or podcasts than tabletop games

meager lantern
#

yeah i've done a lot of reading, i think wikipedia kind of sucks for it because it feels like all of the color is drained out of it

#

i like reading super inaccurate stuff that random people wrote

north hamlet
meager lantern
#

unironically

north hamlet
#

how about this then

long geode
#

also like the actual cultural values of each of the races could come into play, like a more militaristic culture might be under athena or ares' domain

north hamlet
#

yeah that too

meager lantern
#

yeah sites like this are really good

#

i don't think wikipedia would ever put an "approval rating" on their page, but it's a great addition lmao

north hamlet
#

it's a fundamentally different format

meager lantern
#

were greeks particularily xenophobic?

#

this isn't something i'll actually base any decisions off of, it's just interesting

fringe dirge
#

i don't think ancient greece would make the top 10 list of history, no

meager lantern
#

it's a big trope of dnd for racism

fringe dirge
#

yeah, when i think historically xenophobic cultures the two that spring to mind are japan and the USA

meager lantern
#

but when i think of greek mythos, xenophobia in general doesn't really come to mind, like bisexuality and all that
