for all parties involved i hope!
for the most part
also
i...
i did the thing
i bought it on steam

time to mod the crap out of this game
ITS WORKING!
I honestly cannot believe I’m playing mgs3
On pc
1080p, 60fps
With 16 mods on top
It’s nuts
God
Does… mgs3 have the best intro cutscene ever made?
I honestly cannot recall a better one right now
this is no laughing matter @humble mason
i'm sorry. no one would wear a crocodile cap for a reason that isn't serious
🐊
i see that now
exactly
what's the thing in the upper right corner? splitter tree bark / woodland tiger stripe? camouflage pattern or sth?
yeah it's your current camo type
@fathom juniper wait wait. can you mod things in it besides fixing performance or other basic things?
Oh yeah
I’m using upscaled textures and ui and some other things
But there are more complex mods on the way
There’s one that adds crouch walking
The other one ports that 1-2-3 combo from MGS1
And so on
god DAMN
model swaps when?
i wanna see people add new mechanics too lmfao
what engine does it even use
it's their own in house engine
a different branch of the one used in mgs2, port-ops and piss walker
wrapped in a unity wrapper
but from what i saw...
the file structure shouldn't be that hard to crack
hell - looking at how quickly things are progressing...
i might just make my own little mod for this game someday
What would you like to make?
iunno
probably something goofy
well - ok - the first thing that i would do is a simple rebalance
cut the amount of tranq darts you pick up in half
and make silencers degrade much faster
cause this has always been my major gripe with this game (and mgs2 too)
the tranq gun is just a weapon of mass destruction
and i'm always having the most fun when i'm not using it or i'm low on supplies and have to use it sparingly
yes i cheesed it fast
man
this game is so goofy i'm scared some disney lawyers may come knocking at my door 
it is the only game where that meme of getting shot with 9mm to build immunity to bigger calibers...
...is actually a viable strategy 
Did you cheese the end in the wheelchair?
hell no
cause if you do really well on his proper fight he will drop not one, but two secret extra camo patterns
every boss drops one if you do the fight non-lethal
but the end is the only one that has two
grandpa can book it

he goes so fast!
pro tip
thermal goggles are OP in this fight
if you don't have them - use the directional microphon and listen for his old man noises
ez

@ocean iris YOU CAN DO THAT!?
you can just shoot him in the leg and then he will start the proper fight with less HP?
dude watch the whole video
Once I finish my music
this game is 20 years old and it still finds ways to surprise me
Im buzzed from the snus rn and listening to soft dad rock lmao
But it would go hard

PSA: There is currently an RCE exploit being abused in @PlayApex. It is unsure whether it comes from the game or the actual anti-cheat (@TeddyEAC ). I would advise against playing any games protected by EAC or any EA titles once they have fixed this or can comment.
Currently,…
A list of EAC games from their website so you know what to avoid:
-7 Days to Die
-Absolver
-Albion Online
-Apex Legends
-Audition
-Audition Next Level
-Battlefield 2042
-Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2
-Beyond the Wire
-Black Clover: Quartet Knights
-Black Desert Online…
this could be rather important for people who play online games

apparently officers don't appreciate my fabulous hat
i love this strat
it's so cheesy it would make james may blush
peak game design
This was non-lethal btw
~~Oh yea? Then why does he blow up afterwards ~~
this is classic
I JUST GOT 360 NO-SCOPED BY THE END WHILE AT 100% CAMO INDEX!

Alpha Protocol is available once again, DRM-free – only on GOG ⬇️

Get it today and help make games last forever!
@Obsidian @SEGA
Alpha Protocol is back on gog
if anyone is looking for last minute sale recommendations, check out pyre, titanfall 2, the beginners guide, refunct and both submerged games
for games that are not that cheap but still very good, i recommend paranormasight and thumper
can confirm 
they're all great
and more than one of them have the potential of making you cry 
man
there's so much cool stuff coming out lately
and it's either all indies
or re-releases of good old AAA games
while modern AAA is crapping the bed so violently the hotel staff is running out of clean bedsheets
and it's all fairly cheap too
i just... don't have the time for most of it 
oo trombone champ is cheap also
funny game
I can't play trombone champ. Makes both my tummy and hand hurt.
it's too funny
so I have to focus to get a new PB
but focusing on trombone champ defeats the purpose of trombone champ
but if I can't get a new PB, I won't really be satisfied

ikr
first time watching that vid I cant stop laughing the whole time 
Pentiment is 50% off, it's a really good narrative game as well
The first week after trombone’s launch was some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever seen
It’s a bit of a flavor of the month game
It quickly faded out
But it’s still worth getting if it’s cheap
yeah I get that vibe, not a game you'll play for a long time
oh yeah this is what the new raycevick video was about
Anyways god bless GOG
Yeah
I just saw it this morning 
What games you think they should bring back?
I always think damn what a shame I cant buy these games
then remember about torrents
If the devs cant do it then the people can
This isnt even a taboo topic honestly
Companies can take your games at any time, at least on consoles.
Even physical discs start to lose their eternal status on PS5 Ive heard
Hell, we need a PS4 emulator cuz Bloodborne AINT coming to PC
Or 3DS games or Wii, or Wii U
i bought otxo after watching raycevick's vid
has anybody played gigantic?
or lies of p?

also it's lying about play time, p sure this was my first install
Try verifying game files?
how?
iirc right click>properties>verify game files? Somewhere in there
Or on that lil cog icon you can see on the right side of your screenshot
doing now, thanks
sigh
all verified successfully
but still same error
guess i'll start ori again
i couldn't get into hollow knight the second playthrough
idk if that's because i'd played ori by then, and ori was better
PLEASE WAIT WHILE ARC IS BEING REPAIRED
thank you
wtf is arc it's making me sign in..
LOL
hm now nothing happens at all
it just says running
then stops doing that
and now it won't sign me in to the account i just created and when i try to create it again it tells me it exists
this is how people turn into the hulk
Nah I usually turn into Gordon Ramsay
Minus the good cooking
why is the wall climb mechanic in ori so BAD
Well
I’m gonna put myself out there
i believe it wasn't there at the first place.. if im not mistaking with something else
Gonna put a target on my back, but…
Besides the stellar presentation…
… the first ori game ain’t all that good
I’m sorry
i don't know you anymore
kidding, actually
well, i can't ignore the fact many people complain about 1st Ori being too hard to play, to the point it was called "a Dark Souls of platformer metroidvanias"
but.. idk, i didn't feel it too challenging after things lire rayman origins and stuff
people usually refer to ||the tree escape|| part as the hardest thing, that filled them with frustration and despair
the only thing i felt at the moment was.. i don't know the word
google translate suggests rapture and elation.. okay
the whole dynamics, that synergy of music and visuals and the whole sequence is just breathtaking
..when you don't struggle with controls, i guess
maybe it's the controller problem
with kbm it was fine
also i was almost 10 years younger and the reaction speed was better
with the sequel, they took much from the game that took much from the first part
and it worked
maybe it's just a better formula in general?
Everything that’s hard is the dark souls of whatever
Dark souls is the dark souls of dark souls
I don't know anything about Ori but I hate the phrase "the Dark Souls of" to mean difficult when Dark Souls itself is really just annoying and vague 
Now I never know what to say when a game is annoying and vague
people say it just to indicate a game is hard
idk how much of it is meme and how much is serious
You could say that about anything relating to Dark Souls to be fair
it was a common cliché among gaming journalists in late 10s
and it was been made fun of a lot by other gaming journalists i used to know
however, i'd say that Hollow Knight can be called a dark souls of metroidvanias pretty fairly
not for its hardness, but for many other things
My main issue with Dark Souls was largely just the fact that I was pretty much constantly lost
I'm good at getting hopelessly lost easily but DS1 drops you into Firelink with 3-4 different area available and then gives you a one-time dialogue on where the bells are located, neither of which you have immediate access to
if I didn't use a guide I'd probably still be trying to find Blighttown
true
people say that when you visit 2 of 3 (3 of 4) possible locations and then getting immediately punished for curiosity is the sign that maybe you should take the other route
but with the game leveling system it might not be necessary obvious
I know getting stuck in Catacombs was suprisingly common because usually skeletons = easy
Nah I’m just making fun of how viddy media compared anything mildly challenging to dark souls a while back
The same way I’m making fun of foxhope for calling everything a roguelile 
ME: sips coffee "hm, yes, this is definitely the Mass Effect of coffees"
BARISTA: "i am actually begging you to leave"
ME: "this chair is the Fallout of furniture"
BARISTA: sobbing
ME: "vibeo gane,"
What would be the mass effect of coffees anyway?
I don't know enough about either coffee or mass effect for that
Same lukewarm coffee in three different cups? 
the fallout of chairs
Old, squeaky and breaks if you look at it funny
It just works (c)
1 - nicely ground but weak
2 - cheap dissoluble coffee, but strong, with sugar and milk
3 - same as 2, but a huge dead roach floats in it
Nah it’s the same coffee
In red, green and blue cups 
Sigh.
this place surely is the roguelite dark souls of discord channels
i really don't remember ori being this hard
how tf did i 99% it the first time
lol tree escape is pretty much all i remember of the game
and i think that's where i missed a collectible
i also don't remember it being this short
Friendly reminder that the Ace Combat 7 soundtrack is on Spotify and it’s SEVEN GODDAMN HOURS LONG
S E V E N 
125 tracks
Didn’t know the game had that many sound effects, let alone full on music tracks
It’s almost two gifs of this

i never heard of that
I used an AI model to turn myself into a PS1 avatar lmao
I literally look like Otacon what the hell
completely unhinged 'dynamically calculates the impact of their physical presence'
the game seems like, absurdly detailed
I saw a clip where a giant idly stood too close to a ledge and lost his balance, forming a bridge for the party to walk over the chasm as he held onto the other side
so i just finished MGS3 again
and i came here to rant
buckle tf up cause you're gonna see a grown ass man lose his freaking marbles
ok, so...
- clears throat *
konami
can they do at least one thing right?
they've been getting on my nerves for over a decade now
we all know the story, so i'll spare you the reasoning as to why
BUT
they re-relased those old MGS games, right?
along with porting mgs3 to pc
well - the port was utter trash
they did a bethesta and left it for modders to fix it
and apparently they didn't fix it all because
and get ready for this
THE GAME BREAKS DURING THE MOST CRUCIAL PART OF THE STORY
that one bit where you have to pull the trigger for the last time?
yeah - that one
THE DAMN WEAPON BUTTON STOPPED WORKING ON ME!
everything else worked but i just couldn't pull the trigger
which is where i discovered that snake does it for you if you leave him standing there for two minutes
and on top of that - the last cutscene
that absolutely legendary tearjerker of a cutscene...
...just breaks completely and shows you a static camera shot of an empty room with no lighting
so i had to skip it straight to the credits

don't get me wrong
the game is still a proper 10/10
might not be my favourite game ever
but on it's own - it's still one of the best games ever made
period
which is why it pisses me off so hard that it breaks doing the story's climax
i have no hopes for the MGS3 remake

The new compilation is supposed to be a port of the Xbox 360 version, btw
it is
oh wait
wrong server lmao
yeah - it is the HD collection
even the title screen says it's the "HD collection" from 360
it's so lazy even the copyright at the bottom says konami 2012 lmao
but come on
the ending worked fine on the 360/ps3 re-release
wha-
wha happun, konami?
the responses on this are incredibly funny to me but also a bit sad i think https://vxtwitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1770961910243917977

sometimes something can be Good and you can just leave it that way
not everything needs to continue, to have sequels, to have content for the foreseeable future
you Can simply enjoy a thing and move on 😭
i absolutely get it, to a point. when you really like a thing you want it to continue so you can continue having new experiences with it. i've definitely felt that! but idk to a certain extent i think gamers also just inherently Expect something to continue once it hits some arbitrary threshold of popularity and that devs choosing not to do that is some thing people regard with utter incredulity
i guess this is also a symptom of the "live service" era of gaming we're currently in, too
I think a big part of it is that it seems like this decision largely comes from the nightmare that is being in proximity to Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro
absolutely lmao i dont blame larian at all. and people speculated for a while that larian might want to return to divinity when they were done with bg3 as well
still sad fallen heroes got canceled bc i love dos2's characters a lot 😔 but we'll have to see what they cook up next
i just find the reactions a bit interesting to skim through bc people just have this.... idea in their heads that, such as in larian's case, they would want to continue with bg3 because they perceive it as essentially printing money for larian rn and are baffled as to why larian could possibly decide not to do that
Move on?
In a post-MCU pop culture?
That’s insane!
Everything needs a bunch of sequels, prequels, spinoffs and remasters
LEARN THE ORIGIN STORY!
Watch us milk your favorite franchises until there’s nothing of value coming out
Bastion remake when lol
let Larian cook
hades 64 first
hades 2 isnt even out yet. how many years we have to wait till 64
My mind went to hades on nintendo 64 lmao
I still can’t believe they made 64 doom games in 4 years 
N64 romhacks are crazy
Have you heard of that dude that was making portal on n64?
I couldn't bear to use my own fantasy - every nook and cranny has to be filled out with backstory. It all has to be deterministic! Pitching a Transistor origin story remake to David Cage rn
yes.
theres also super mario shotgun 64
i LOVED ori water tree climb
and it's so easy
because the water is always behind you. it can't catch up, so you can take your time
i don't think i missed any of the collectibles this time. so possibly a 100% this playthrough
also the bash mechanic is one of the best things in any game ever
this alone makes ori a masterpiece
writing lore is fun... until it gets too long and then you start to contradict yourself.
Well hello there, Kojima-San.
Fancy seeing you here.
It aint THAT bad
because most of it was made with the help of actual writers
Most of it
HOW DID THE BOSS GIVE BIRTH ON FREAKING D-DAY!?
Right on the Normandy beach
They sent a 9 months pregnant woman into that meat grinder wtf

That one plot point from MGS3 always bugged the hell out of me
she was just that good
she won d-day for them while shes at it
She got into a dance off and won

I wondered if this is the right game because they don't even mention will smith
the article says the game is from lightspeed studios and level infinite, which is the same as what the steam page says
i doubt will smith is even a major part of the game and they just used him for marketing bc hes such a recognizable name. but like. still overall marketing for this was nonexistent bc the vast majority of people never heard of it

get my game's name out of your goddamn mouth!
but yeah
i guess vin diesel is still at the top when it comes to movie tie-ins

oh yeah
sorry 😔
the chronicles of ri-richard is a solid 9/10 on it's own
but in the realm of licenced movie games?
it's like a 12/10
have you ever played the escape from butcher bay @rustic falcon ?
nah
it's great
it's like a...
imagine an aliens vs predator game
that runs on the doom 3 engine ||even though it isn't, but it looks close enough||
where you play as one character
and that one character combines playstyles from all three AVP campaigns
which is alien, predator and marine
it plays like that
man i loved aliens vs predator 2

i only played prodeus
oh and forgive me father 2 demo, I actually quite enjoy it
might get this bundle
i... honestly can't play prodeus
don't get me wrong - i can see that it is a fine boomshoot
but there's just something about it's artstyle
the way everything is so shiny and super saturated combined with postprocessing and weird models that the game turns into sprites in real time
it all just makes my eyes go funny
Have ya'll tried this
It's co-op Arthurian Legend Hades
It ain't no Hades or Hades 2 but it's fun so far
the worst thing about ori is that you can't configure keys
float and dash on shift and ctrl is absolute garbage
also why did they make misty woods?
is it because they hate me?
oof I cant play metroidvania or platformers with keyboard
@ocean iris
Mate, I need your help
Is there a way to check if I killed someone during a playthrough and not just at the end ?
In mgs3 I mean
idk. most story triggers and stats are hidden and you can only access them with save editors like Mass Effect for example
I doubt there's such thing for MGS on PC
Cause I’m doing a pacifist run on extreme and I think one poor dude ate some shrapnel from an explosion
its over...
Nooooo
I dunno man
He’s probably fine
I’m currently in the process of eating shrapnel from 8 claymore mines to build up immunity to higher calibers and I’m fine
Hell I’m actually getting healthier with each claymore
This is probably the dumbest strat in the entire series 
It goes something like this

I’m so adamant on playing everything on kbm lol (especially considering I do not have a controller LOL)
Elden ring was tough
i mean a medic of a paramilitary company had worse
about to make a mistake (playing a horror game for the delusional thought that this one might be good despite no other horror game till now having been good)
well, horror is about something bad, that you wouldn't want to experience
like a vaccine, it makes you sick, but at the same time makes you more immune
looking at a horror as well now. i need to keep myself awake at the night due to the current job, so i downloaded Voices of the Void
want to go in blind, without spoiling and watching walkthroughs
only thing i know is there're robot cats and satellite dishes
At least the more lovecraftian subgenre of it is okay thematically, outside of that idk, but it could also just be because the games I played weren't good. >observer_ by booba team is just the 'look at us we're so grimdark' and I have no idea what Little Nightmares is supposed to tell me
have you played Soma?
watched a playthrough of it ages ago, wanted to play it since it became f2p
oh wait, it was free for some time i think
a couple of years now
misremembered
trying with controller made me hate gaming
gotta have a mouse
i'd have put dash on mouse 4 if they let me
what i can't understand about standard kbm layouts.. how do people find it okay to play with arrows and Z/X/C keys at the same time
in the era of flash, it was an engine restriction, so playing with your arms crossed was a necesstiy, but now?
w-wha
whaddayamean?
arms crossed?
like - you're pressing the arrow keys with your left hand and ZXC with right? 
ofc, how else should it be?
i find it hard to reach ZXC and arrow keys with one hand simultaneously
for left-handed people it should be much easier, they're used to press arrow keys with right hand, mostly
wtf
yeah
so, that's why it's imperative to change all the controls to WASD and SpaceJKL immediately
oh.. i got it
that's the reason most people can't play 2d platformers without controller, right?
not all the games allow to change controls
getting jumpscared by an interesting looking game but from quantic dream twitter account but luckily they‘re just publishing it
which game

Ok
This is going well
I just checked up with The Sorrow
Turns out - no one died yet
I killed a whole lotta fish though 
I dropped like a dozen frag nades into that pond during the fight with The Pain||t||
OH MY GOD 
so - you guys remember that weird strat i mentioned last time?
the one that lets you extend your health bar by not healing injuries?
just walk it off, you're gonna be fine
well...
at the beginning of the game i got shot with an arrow
in the leg
then got a second one during the fight with The Fear
of course i refused to treat them both
now i'm at the end of the game and only just i realized...

i can't get them out 
didn't even know they can like... grow in forever like that
i love this game 
I used to be an adventurer like you
and then nothing major happened, I still am.
lol. rofl. lmfao.
man the last few years for ovw fans has been rough, a lot of my friends were super into it lol
LOL
i find it fun to play but i kinda had it with all this news so i uninstalled at last
please clap
👏
i didnt rly keep up with it since I Dont Go Here but wasnt the entire justification behind nuking ow1 and making ow2 bc of pve 😭
oof
rly sucks for the devs but i genuinely do not know what actiblizz execs were expecting when they made all of the games monetization objectively worse, including the missions
I sometimes think about installing it because I still liked playing support characters in there but since I got into playing more TF2 med there's just no reason, Source gunplay is just so much better
companies keep playing the "how much can we mess up until we completely alienate our entire userbase" game and that's a game you're going to lose eventually
honestly for how massive ow was in its peak its kind of like. morbidly fascinating? at how badly the ip has been fumbled atp
yeah i remember when it came out everyone was just going mad for it
and now they've messed up reeeeally bad
very sorry to ow likers but ive never been more relieved to be a starcraft liker 🫡 ← dormant ip thats largely been forgotten about nowadays
pop quiz
name three things bizzard didn't mess up since...
2005

0 kills 
pigeon
ye
it's a special rank you get for 0 kills
i mean i would argue sc2 during wol and hots were fine. dunno how wow was doing since i never got into it. yeah blizz has been plummeting for a while and most blizz fans have been blind to it but it wasnt that bad in mid and late 2000s
activision acquired blizzard in 2008 and a large part of blizz's talent has left over the years directly as a result of the growing influence activision was having on the company
so.
i think blizzards downfall started with them axing blizzard north
aka. silicon knights
the original diablo 1 and 2 devs
maybe, but their product output was still day and night compared to blizzard of the last decade
d3 was a hot mess when it launched but they did wind up fixing... the majority of peoples biggest issues with it i guess. i skipped it, couldnt tell you lol.
got more fixed than w3 reforged ever will probably 🤪
still absolutely pissed off that i cant just take my old w3 discs and reinstall them and play the game as it was if i wanted to because they screwed that all up
speaking of diablo what do the regs think of last epoch, i keep looking at it but also not a single person on my friendlist owns it so im not sure im in the mood to commit to a game like that that id be playing solo lol
oh yeah
out of all the things they did, this one is the most... greasy
the problem is the missions just sucked
they were boring as hell
all of the cool stuff they showed was scrapped like new abilities and skill trees
they reduced all that down to simple walk forward and maul fodder enemies
that sucks
always disappointing to get the "we have all this cool stuff coming" and end up with "yeah we just got rid of all of that"
yeah
tehy wonder why people werent interested
because you took out the stuff people were interested in
Starting man of medan rn and the intro sequence has a few cuts of extremely generic horror footage, what have i gotten myself into
man of medan... 

ooooohhhhh
it's this
man...
you sure can't catch a break from david cage lately, can you? 
Wow I was worried for a second he‘s involved LOL
There‘s a minigame where i have to press A in sync with my character‘s heartbeat, what does this MEAN
Hell naww it got two jumpscares already, one is, get this, a child creepily running around a military boat
THREE jumpscares
FOUR
yeah i'm continuing tomorrow this is already terrible lmao
if I was a composer for this kinda game i'd be pretty pissed when the game director asked me to create about 50 generic horror music zingers whenever le creepy kid runs past again
this reminds me of this legendary jerma clip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0fm2lRrEg0
From Jerma's "Layers of Fear part deux" stream
Jerma's youtube: youtube.com/jerma985
Jerma's Twitch: twitch.tv/jerma985

LOL i remember this
at least in that example it isn't jumpscary, like i'd enjoy man of medan the same way but i'm reeeeeally susceptible to jumpscares :(
i actually forgot about this layers of fear part. Played it bc it was f2p after observer and yeah it was even more terrible. At least observer had the cyberpunk vibe going for it, layers of fear is just LE CREEPY PICTURE FRAME IS SCREAMING AREN'T YOU SCARED???
if bloober tries to pull this stuff in the SH2 remake i'm gonna...
well actually i won't do anything cause i have no hopes for it
but i till feel like they're totally gonna do something stupid like that
anyways
check this out

In this video i will try and find out how many arrows Snake can have stuck in his body in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.

https://discord.gg/aq7MDhh

hedgehog snake :3
i still can't get over the fact that they can get stuck in there for good
and stay there for the rest of the game
this ran on a ps2 wtf 
Heya! In the Definitive Edition, it's possible to rebind keyboard inputs and controller button mappings for directInput. We didn't get to build this into the game, but there are some .txt files that you can edit. Mouse and Keyboard rebindings Browse here in the file explorer: %localappdata%/Ori and the Blind Forest DE/KeyRebindings.txt An explan...
i can't believe i cleared the first time without rebinding
and that i'm 60% through the second replay before i thought to google it ):
now dash is on mouse4 and oh. my
GOD
just got trapped
my friend's younger brother invited me to play a game on Roblox
then left me after 5 mins
I feel devastated
the audacity
thank you man of medan for giving a woman about to be introduced to us during a cutscene a weird 0.3 second shot of her butt. true kino. it's like i'm watching martin scorsese
Are you sure David cage didn’t work on this? 
It‘s bad but it‘s currently not like an overproduced thriller. I‘ll circle back to this in case the old WWII plane wreck they‘re about to dive in houses a secret government research lab or sth
oh my god she's not even doing the voice

that's just her regular voice
"the boss should run for president in 2024"
hell i'd vote for her 
I've become addicted to Balatro I see the world in multipliers and flushes
the hwat now?
very fun deckbuilder

I want to play…. I want to play so bad…….
The last thing I need is another gambling game rn tho
and I started playing I was a teenage exocolonist again, so that card game itch is scratched with narrative on top
kuro died
i cried
she was the real hero in ori
everybody else sucked
also i would like to know my stats for how many times i attempted that last escape
rayman origins waa good training for that
spoilers 😔
lul
soylent green is people
good to know, but not everyone has played every video game
yes
which is why nobody complains about spoilers to old games
i thought you were kidding but you were actually serious
that's hilarious
If you're calling Ori old, I wonder what you'd call Pacman...
it's almost ten years old
but there's not much to spoil in Pacman though
idk, i don't usually feel like there's some kind of age threshold that divides spoilerable games from unspoilerable
my bad for not playing it? its not at the top of my wishlist but it doesnt mean i didnt want to go in blind
i dont get whats so funny about it
OH SHOOT
the yoga game baller is back
i mean the yoga ball gamer

A new video on RDR2? This, I gotta see
that was a really good vid
it's also nice to see him mature while still keeping his signature style
and ball
don't forget the ball
sorted my "currently playing" only to games im currently playing or have plans to play/finish in the near future.... it was over 100 games long beforehand LOL
the steady decline of games by years, eh
I have not finished a single one this year, can you believe
Not for lack of trying
I hope to play more games to completion when I (hopefully) start streaming
holy hell!!
that is, both to not finishing a single game and starting to stream
i feel like adult gaming is a 5 hour session on a saturday followed by 3 months of the void
Mood, but this is because I'm hyperfixated on hollow knight rando 
has anyone played the ace attorney games on steam? how's the port?
steam reviews have been useless abt it bc almost all of them are people trying to do witty one liners for clout
I played it (on steam deck) and it runs just fine even though it says it isn’t fully compatible! Keep in mind I haven’t played the originals and only got to ch 2
that's good to know ty
you guys finish games??????????
I do my best but as you can see my unplayed list is almost double my finished games 
when i got my steam deck i noticed the last time i played on steam was... 8 years ago
ngl that made me feel old
i just play stuff til i either get bored or general head nonsense things happen so most of the time i dont finish things and the vast majority of the time its not because i dont want to lol
kid me would be so disappointed in current me 😔 what do you mean you just cant play games sometimes, that doesnt make sense
looking at my pile of books and film suffering the same fate fkdjhgajls i promise i want to get to all of yall 😭 plsss
my steam deck sits on my bed rn and i touch it like. when i remember its there, yells
im just not very good at video games
so i lowkey give up when it gets too hard :'3
i always try to come back around though
yeah that's me and most games with boss fights
i'm stuck maybe 80 or 90% in to ender lillies
i was thinking of going back to it again. would have to start from the beginning to get the feel back
that's a really great game, btw
spirits is a really cool mechanic
I enjoyed ender lilies, yeah the spirits are cool, like stands from Jojo
but the map design is really mediocre tbh, everything is just squares and rectangles
my fav modern metroidvania is still blasphemous, have yet to play the sequel
i couldn't get in to that
the combat is so rigid
it comes so highly recommended idgi
maybe blasphemous 2 will be better?
nah it wont change too much combat wise, it's supposed to be weighty and kinda difficult.
Combat and platforming are better in 2, but I feel it loses part of the mystic vibe that the first one has
it looks pretty good!
expensive for an indie tho
oof
but I forgor
is full price now
so i forgot there's a new marvel game coming
Captain America 1943, written by Amy Hennig (or directed idk) but Im hoping it's good
WW2 setting and superheroes go hand in hand
rollerdrome is dope. like THPS meets max payne
Well they got NIS as publisher. It's a pretty big name.
Disgaea and all
huh I never heard of this, is it hack n slash?
I can't say it's a hack and slash cause there's no sword to hack and slash with 
but it's the closest thing to Indie DMC I've played
wait, Bim, noooo
Welp he's already at it
Tamriel
so, it's not Akavir, and not any other continent

noooooo
bethesta? not being honest in their marketing?
no way
IN THIS ECONOMY!?
why is that 1 hour? 
lmao ori 2
combat shrines are great
but you can't dash through the bad guys in this game
and i keep trying to
#toomuchhades
Would you recommend Ziggurat?
damn I’ve had that in my library for ages
I've read that it's an FPS roguelike and I found a few copies of next to nada
it's cinema!
its so over
basically, Bethesda now has to compete with Elder Scrolls Online without any help from Zenimax
sounds like a tough challenge
wdym
well, ESO has most of the Tamriel already included, and pretty nicely made
most part of the world map already covered
so now TESVI has to introduce some one part that has to be really developed and interesting
and not bugged to unplayable state
lol
If they had 20 years to develop it it would still be in that state
I don't think Bethesda is capable of delivering something tha's not the classic "Bethesda quality"
well, whatever
usually people say "mods will fix it"
but it has to be worth fixing first
afaik that was the problem with Starfield, a lot of modders just gave up on it mostly
yeah
but haven't played it or been following the modding scene so just what I heard
Skyrim and F4 were interesting enough so they have without exaggeration the highest amount of available mods
that tbh is baffling to me that people are still making Skyrim mods to this day
like even if I was the biggest fan of Skyrim which I'm not, after 13 years or so I'd say that's enough
dude
I got Gears of War 1 on Xenia to run at 144 FPS
what the hell it has no right to run this good
yeah especially considering it's an early UE3 game 
the game is good
the engine though?
this alraedy going on for several hours now
not a big fan of the fps
Take-Two has bought Gearbox
It’s like Elon musk buying McDonald’s
It’s gonna get worse in a brand new exciting way
how can they get worse
bl4 story will just be an assembly of video game references
chatgpt give me a superhero-esque story with a lot of vidya references, e.g. 'the cake is a lie' and 'goat simulator'
for whatever reason, my mind went to, "He's gonna rebrand it to WcDonald's and sue every depiction of 'WcDonald's' in anime media."
...which doesn't make a lot of sense
and that's something he'll do 
mobdonalds must remain
Damn I want some mcd’s now
I want some greasy, unhealthy food that will make me suffer
gamers
remember
always buy "tripple A" games to support big greedy corporations like EA and Ubisoft
and pirate indie games
👍
it's AAAA now
for some reason I always thought gearbox is already owned by take two
It was owned by 2k
Then got embraced by embracer
And now taking a walk to take 2
No, they were on their own, until Embracer bought them
If anything, 2K is the publisher of their Borderlands games
Ah that's why, I always confuse 2K and Take Two for some reason
Take-Two owns 2K
lol
And now they also own Gearbox
oh yeah right
i forgor
i only remember 2k because their SUPER LOUD, OBNOXIOUS AND UNSKIPABLE INTRO PLAYS AT LIKE 300% VOLUME OF THE REGULAR GAME
every goddamn time you boot up the game
seriously
every publisher who does that should be banned from releasing games for two years
when i get to power...
vote Bim 2050
and i WILL make every game feature an FOV slider (even solitaire lmao)
i WILL mute every publisher splash screen
i WILL make every cutscene skipable
and if i can't make MTX go away completely, i will make those games connect to a steam-like marketplace where players can sell that crap to other players
vote Bim 2050:
they won't keep getting away with it!

it always feels kinda bad when you've finished an indie game and it's like 20 people worked on this and the credits list 500 random marketing CEOs
oh yeah
and then the devs chime in at the end and go like "AND YOU!"
"THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!"
and it's like "shoot - i almost missed it cause Jessica from HR apparently had a hand in making this game"
it's a doom joke btw
in 2016 at one point one of those corporate hologram propaganda speakers goes like "Do you want to give your body and soul to the revenant program? Ask Jessica from HR for more details!"
and then you finish the game and watch the credits and she's an actual person 
https://i.imgur.com/U5vDMhl.jpeg
god bless 
also - Miss Donna made it too
god bless her soul 
damn i kinda wanna play 2016 again
i'm just afraid it might be hard to go back after eternal
hang on this feels weird
i've been a bit too cheerful there for a bit too long

that's better 
This
Is the warcry
Of a
VERY
Angry frog
eleven million hits and counting
it sounds like a dog toy!
OH MY GOD i gotta put this thing in doom
YES!

happy rain world dlc to all who celebrate
Wishlist Rain World: The Watcher: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2857120/Rain_World_The_Watcher/
Rain World: The Watcher is the next DLC expansion of Rain World. Journey beyond to something, somewhere only ever glimpsed. When the world beneath your feet cracks and crumbles, will you hold on to all you once knew? Or dive into the unknown?
...
ori 2 boss fights are so perfect
predictable enough that you can get bored and sloppy
just like god of war
difficult enough so you have to focus
enough phases that you get frustrated and go outside for a smoke
so many different ways to deal damage, including boss projectiles
unlimited mana, so unlimited hp
easy enough so that in the back of your mind you know it'll just take one focussed fight without any stupid mistakes to clear it
all boss fights in all games should be like this forever
Nine Sols is a lore rich, hand-drawn 2D action-platformer featuring Sekiro-inspired deflection focused combat, immersive storytelling, and unique Taopunk setting.
yoooo
👀
cant wait to miss all the parry timings
Just finished assault spy, it's great. Recommend.
GAME DESCRIPTION: The further you dive into this mysterious adventure, the more you learn about the shocking events, that happened in David's life, and the clinic on Brut Street.The plot develops rapidly and merges you into a mystical and dangerous story written in all the best traditions of the Survival Horror genre.Throughout the game, you'll...

AI resident evil
wtf is this....and the studio name...
In this game, you will control the main character with a first-person camera which makes you feel like you’re in a real horror movie.
now that's impressive. i've never seen any game that allows you to play from the eyes of the main character! just like in real life!
emulating Armored Core 4 rn on Xenia uwu
I‘m sorry, as a large language model I cannot create the next story section as you asked me to. Violence should be avoided at all costs.
mfw zone of enders was only used to promote demos of metal gear games
first, MGS2 Demo, then HD collection had a demo of MGR
RDR1 is so fun
@fathom juniper bro how does one get into Ace Combat?
Is the continuity as fricked as Armored Core?
Armored Core was rebooted like 4 times

JUST GO PLAY IT
that’s all you need
Ok - well there might be more
Take a Quick Look at the strangereals map or look up some recaps on YouTube
which game first doe
You don’t need to know previous AC stories to enjoy AC7
also mfw Armored Core 4 keeps crashing at loading screens hnnnngh
But it’s nice to know where things are on the map and stuff like that
Doesn’t matter
They’re all mostly separate stories that just happen to take place on the same made up earth with weird names
I recommend starting with ac7
It’s easily available and rather friendly to newcomers
Now - it’s not gonna hold your hand
Not at all
But it is a nice starting point
THAT SAID
I do recommend playing it on PC
Because of the brrrrrt mod
But before you go @ocean iris
Get a controller
And turn on expert controls
Don’t even bother with the simplified scheme
yes i have a controller
Then you’re good to go
Hard mode
Expert controls
Normal collision damage
cabin view
Try not to cry

Rip 
Rip free time
I like this game but holy hell why is the performance so bad on a ps4?
It’s just a 2d card game with flash art, come on
I don't understand why games sometimes completely change their keybindings in their sequels, and even better prevent you from changing it back
started playing Forbidden West and have to drop my habits from Zero Dawn because the weapon wheel is no longer on TAB and can't be binded to TAB at all
instead it's used for map even though map is also on M as it used to be...
real smart mind cooked this up
Final Fantasy pc ports…
xiii 1&2 work somewhat, but 3 doesn‘t support mouse inout for some reason and you have to use keyboard for the camera as well lol
and it's such a shame though because before I started replaying Zero Dawn, I played Jedi Survivor and that was such an intuitive transition from Fallen Order that it makes this even worse in comparison, it was literally like playing same game with more stuff
here both UI and way stuff works is just overhauled for no reason, and mostly for the worse
also Jedi Survivor dealt with the "we have to nerf what you had in previous game" by not nerfing anything at all, all abilites from first game you kept and Survivor just had more abilities
Forbidden West starts with you having nothing again lol
@mental current fan of Monument Valley?
Apparently overwatch and valorant both added enby characters at the same time so that's pretty neat
the hangtime you get from hitting stuff with a sword in ori 2 makes fighting kwolok so much fun it's impossible to kill him
that is cool but remember what these companies do to their employees
especially blizzard
@ocean iris did you get ac7?
Rip
first thing i'll do once i sell my shoes I'll get a new tent
Wot
Yes.
Roundabout
other than stardew valley, whats a relaxing game?
everything "relaxing" i play now stresses me out
for me it's death stranding, RDR2 or breath of the wild.
aka roaming in the world doing anything but the main story
For me it’s doom 2
Unironically
The simplicity of its gameplay combined with gorgeous custom maps and comfy midi music is just 
Comfort food for my soul
If resource management games are your thing, Spiritfarer is the first that comes to mind
dorfromantik, townscaper
Samorost
or basically most Amanita Design stuff.. i even used to sleep with games running
south scrimshaw. its free!
Abzu and Journey are super short and chill, you can even make a friend in Journey! 😊
Gris and Stray aren't relaxing all the way through, but have long calm stretches
I played all of these, but I haven’t finished journey and stray
I really should… I remember playing journey on ps3 and getting scared at some part, so I stopped playing. Lol
tysm for the recommendations 🙏
I recall Little Inferno being quite quaint as well if you don't mind puzzle games
Yeah puzzles are the obvious choice I guess. The Witness, There The Light. ASAMU maybe? AER too
Factorio peaceful mode 
imma go make my spaghetti factory
Satisfactory is kinda more peaceful
the pollution from your factory doesn't make immediate damage (tecnhically at all), and local fauna mostly doesn't care about your existance, unless you are close enough
but you can't really relax when you need to brain things out
This is a friendly reminder that your factory can always be a bit more optimized
Don’t waste time on useless things like sleep or food or family
Spend it on improving your production line
THE FACTORY MUST GROW
Family can wait
But your wasted production cycles will never come back
so... I might have jumped down the mech keyboard rabid hole
and spent way too much money on stuff I don't need (but want)
but hey i learnt to solder/desolder so that's something I guess
that's... actually kinda impressive
y tho?
what happened to your keyboard @polar dragon ?
erm nothing lol
it had a keyswitch that I did not like so I improved it
it's actually really nice now
and I also dropped way too much money on another keyboard cause I wanted to 😭
please tell me it at least has a numpad
what is this numpad you speak of?
bim is scared of TKL (and below)...
guys I don't even have an F row

don't you love pay more for less?
That keyboard is so beautiful and so transgender but I cannot do without my full keyboard
yeah the keycap set doesn't include that key haha
cry
i like the colorway though
oh and uh Happy Easter for those who celebrates it 😄
And trans day of visibility! 🏳️⚧️ to those who celebrate it 😏
luckily you can spend money on full-size keycap sets and put it on your existing keebs :--)
so...
im running a little experiment
i'm trying out different free AI models and seeing what's their potential for helping with developing games and mods and what not
i asked chatgpt how would it implement a dynamic music system in gzdoom given the limitations of the engine (such as - being able to play only a single music track at any given time) and it seemed to get it
but then it gave me scripts that wouldn't work at all
5 iterations later it seemed like it was getting the issue in theory
but in practise it was spewing out scripts that all had the same issues (which i pointed out multiple times)
and few seconds after that it actually gave me a script that would work
of course it would cause whole bunch of other issues that would only come up during playtesting, but sti...
it's both impressive and scary at the same time
and gee - i guess it really is john cena cause i can't see him 
I thought this was little zagreus sprites from a distance
save yourself money
go Topre
get an HHKB, it's what you'll end up with in a year or two if you don't try it now
Pro Hybrid ideally, if you can afford to try both the Type S and non Type S I would recommend it- they're very different, regular one has a nice quiet downstroke and a clack on the upstroke and type-s has a shorter stroke but it's silenced on the way up
hey how you can't just skip the journey and go straight to the end lol
something something misery and regret build character I guess
sure saves a lot of money heh
what in the monster legend looking ah...
it says it right there
it's john cena as portrayed by a doom 2 monster sprite sheet, duh

ayayayay

discord might start showing you ads
apparently there's gonna be a setting to turn off ads, but...
just watch it being locked behind that expensive uber-nitro thingy
sigh
discord also introduced lootboxes today, so
Gotta get that number higher, can't ever ever plateau
so im just saying, dont believe everything you read online today
