||sure I might be delaying the inevitable, but at least she gets closure||

rustic falcon
#

||yeah I like the other ending better. Personally. I know it’s an uncommon opinion in many places and it’s something people get really passionate about||
||her line about how mael promised to show her the “real” world through a painting made me so emotional. Her reaction in verso’s ending was very painful for me to watch... It’s very painful to watch no matter what I guess||

Ah, I see that SCP: E33 has breached containment zone again.

||send help I'm too infatuated with lune, I want to do ng++ just to get all the scenes and lines again 😭||

rustic falcon
#

||I think (without even considering anyone else) verso and mael’s interactions with each other in their ending are. Idk they’re really incredible|| aghhh
||”you’ve got this incredible power to paint. You’ll never have to suffer a life you don’t want…”|| I think about it a lot. And then I don’t want to watch the rest again, it makes my heart hurt

#

I really like lune but it’s so hard to pick a favorite. Sciel is just incredible. And the most important thing is how they work as a group, so separating them feels wrong ;__;

#

||but when in doubt, Clea||

and this is why it's my goty

#

I've put double the hours in h2 but e33 has hit me much harder 😭

rustic falcon
#

||I don’t mind which I see where, but in the dlc I would love to see more of painted clea. We know so little about her... Well. We know a decent amount but not her personality. I want to see her interact with alicia really badly because we never got to see that||

#

Although now that I’m thinking about it
Konami seems to be struggling with their old IPs from the nes days

I still remember their latest contra game which…
Well - I don’t wanna say it was abysmal

#

So im just gonna say it was not good²

dense kindle
#

make a 2d art castlevania already

austere wadi
#

Do they dare go near that after Bloodstained?

dense kindle
#

bloodstained wasn't 2d art though

#

except the first game which was 8bit-ish

oh right

#

igarashi went to do his own thing

dense kindle
#

yeah

austere wadi
#

I keep waiting for an artist from ArcSys to go off and make a studio that does non-fighting games with their 2.5D art style (DBFZ remains my shining example).

dense kindle
#

I think it only makes sense to make fighting games with their art style tbh

#

it's so intense that doing it for more than a couple dozen characters would be brutal

#

especially having a ton of them on screen at once

#

fighting games only need like, 2-6 characters depicted at any given time

fathom juniper
#

oh dude

#

the late game chip shortage is brutal

fathom juniper
#

hey @dense kindle
i really need your help

#

so - need electric engines for... something
to make that i need lubricants
and i have everything i need to make that - a refinery, lots of crude oil and chemical plants and what not

dense kindle
#

yep

dense kindle
fathom juniper
#

but the chemical plant isn't making the lube because it's not getting heavy oil
and it's not getting any heavy oil because al lrefineries making it in advanced oil processing are also producing petrol and light oil

dense kindle
#

ahh a misbalance of oil

fathom juniper
#

and it all got so backed up that it now just says that "output is full"

#

wasn't enough

#

this patchwork solution of just...
ignoring the problem PES_Lul

#

worked for about a day until those tanks backed up too

#

so - what do i do?
how do i deal with this?

#

i've got no clue tbh

dense kindle
#

increase plastic, solid fuel, and sulfur production

Crack light oil to petroleum

Thats about all you can do

#

you could also just cheat by removing all the tanks and reinstalling them I think

fathom juniper
#

i could...

#

make a loop of train tracks
put a train there
keep it fueled up with that backed up solid fuel (which im also processing there)
and make it spin forever PES_Lul

#

burning excess fuel and making sure the whole thing keeps working

#

*** OR***

#

i could just dump the contents of those tanks into the nearby river

dense kindle
#

also your right 4 light oil tanks are disconnected

fathom juniper
#

crude oil, petrol and light oil
300k gallons each dusa

#

wot

#

no they arent

#

OH MY GOD

#

THEY ARE

#

how the hell did you catch this? PES_Lul

#

that should last me a bit, right?

dense kindle
dense kindle
#

its about large scale ratios

fathom juniper
#

yeah but the thing is - i don't need that much plastic right now

#

and i have nothing to spend it on

#

i'd be just wasting it anyway

dense kindle
#

make more chips

#

you always need more chips

fathom juniper
#

yeah but for that i need to fix the green chip shortage first

dense kindle
#

time to scale up green chips
which means scaling up iron and copper
oh my

fathom juniper
#

yeah im working on it as we speak

dense kindle
#

back to basics

fathom juniper
#

okay - i think the situation is under control
for now

#

and - thanks to that - i now have fully automated productivity, speed and efficiency module 2 lines

for the first time ever i'm actually bnurning through more copper than iron

man - i want to expand my base but i don't really feel like playing the game
hey bots - do this thing for me

and bada bing bada boom - 30 minutes later my base doubled in size dusa

and i didn't even need to lift a finger

there's no toilets in my factory

don't you use the lakes

fathom juniper
#

also - earlier today i realized i somehow stockpiled...

#

2k arty shells dusa

#

so i spent 30 minutes doing nothing but shelling biter nests

fathom juniper
#

so instead of making a wall and a janky corner to meet the lake i just... expand the lake a few feet

#

it's the same thing basically, but it looks better

dense kindle
#

so yeah there's your toilet for your factory

either this lake is super polluted

Yet you totally went bananas over the poor fishé zaglol

fathom juniper
#

i still want to figure out how to automate fishing in this game

#

martincitopants said that he figured out how to extract microplastics from fish

#

this... could come in handy in the endgame

#

speaking of the endgame

#

@dense kindle i have a feeling i'm gonna hit that soon
but i don't want this to end

#

so - should i buy the space age dlc
or should i try the space exploration mod first?

dense kindle
#

I would just do the dlc

fathom juniper
#

what about the mod?

dense kindle
#

the mod was a good mod for basegame but lacked some features and also a bit of a leap in difficulty

#

also even bigger

#

the dlc is a bit more polished as a result

fathom juniper
dense kindle
#

also I think theres space exploration for space age now lol

fathom juniper
#

oh god PES_BoiStop

dense kindle
#

for a lot of players, space age is the new vanilla

fathom juniper
#

i can't even imagine the insanity

fathom juniper
#

are you trying to tell me i'm 50 hours into a tutorial?

dense kindle
#

um

#

(yes)

fathom juniper
#

i'm never gonna see my family again, am i?

#

is there like an AA hotline for factorio players?

dense kindle
#

On release, there will be a "fix up" button that will performs changes that remove technologies and items the player should not have at the moment, including all spidertrons and artillery, and replacing all tier 3 modules with tier 2 modules.

#

The game diverges mostly beyond chemical science, as this is the point you can start launching rockets to space and to other planets.

Several technologies such as cliff explosives, tier 2 modules, and Kovarex enrichement are no longer unlocked on Nauvis itself.

fathom juniper
#

ey?

#

that's kinda... weird

dense kindle
#

Yeah some late game research got shunted off to the other planets

#

Differences between DLC and the Mod
Target Audience: Space Exploration is targeted at a small set of challenge-seekers, it's not for everyone by design. Space Age is targeted at all Factorio players with better approachability in mind.

Game Length: Space Exploration is a long-form adventure designed for players to gradually uncover many interconnected challenges over 150-500 hours (or more). Space Age challenges are more streamlined and self-contained for a faster pace of 60-100 hours (rough estimate).

Complexity: Space Exploration challenges ramp up to a very high difficulty towards the end. Some of the last challenges cannot be automated without a set of arithmetic combinators, so it is not expected that all players will be able to complete it. Space Age has a lot of different challenges but they never get too extreme and the usage of combinators is quite lightweight, so we expect that most players will be able to complete it.

Engine Support: There are so many things that Space Exploration just can't do because it's a mod. Space Age has very different capabilities because the game engine can be made to support it. Large parts of the expansion are focused on game mechanics that just aren't possible otherwise, so the gameplay will be unique and refreshing even if you're a Space Exploration veteran.

fathom juniper
#

alright
space age it is then

dense kindle
#

To begin the DLC: "In order to get from one planet to another, the player has launch themselves on a rocket. When a rocket completes building, the silo interface will have a button "Travel to space platform <engineer icon>". Clicking the button and choosing a platform will launch to player to that platform. The player can not walk on the platform, but is rather only a passenger. Before launching into space, the player must remove all their inventory and ammo. However, equipment and weapons can remain on your character."

fathom juniper
#

Before launching into space, the player must remove all their inventory and ammo

#

bruh

dense kindle
#

btw the developers of space exploration (mod) worked on space age as well

fathom juniper
#

hell yeah

#

love to see that

dense kindle
#

yeah space age's development was very developer friendly

#

they even gave modders access to the DLC early so they can port their mods

it's robots and guns so PeepoShrug

#

Hang on a sec, gotta post the picture somewhere else first and link it here

#

Ok, so the gist of this is that I've been playing this game on Switch (don't ask why, I know, crazy) for a few years, and around that time, they released a new mode that's basically archwing but you can also pilot a big ship (Railjack) and hire a crew to help if you're not on a full squad

fathom juniper
#

the switch?

#

what engine is this on?

signal kayak
#

Hopes and dreams, thank Panic Button for the port

#

So here's the thing

#

The second you get into a squad, all hell breaks loose, the chances of getting bugs that can very well break immersion (at least) are in the hundreds of percents

#

Like...this

fathom juniper
signal kayak
#

I'm somehow stuck inside a Grineer crewship but using my equipped archmelee and...well, you see the Larkspur in the middle

#

But it gets better!

#

Whenever this happened, I'd have to get into Operator mode, or else my teammates wouldn't even be able to see me PHYSICALLY or even on the radar, at all

#

And my movement would change to that of the archwing, but my frame would be running in midair instead of floating

fathom juniper
#

so like an invisibility cloak but with a few letters missing

signal kayak
#

Invisibility but better, not even your team can see you zaglol

#

It's been fixed a long time ago, but even now, connectivity issues in Railjack aren't rare

#

there was a time when i wanted to get into warframe

#

but right now factorio is holding me hostage and no one wants to pay the ransom, so... PeepoShrug

My theory is that robert and romance of choice will get caught by the higher ups and he’ll get suspended

#

Then Z team comes and tries to cheer him up resulting in a team bonding moment that isnt work related

Maybe, I wonder though if more focus on romance will leave much time to the actual villain lol

maybe it wasnt much?

#

sounds like the pipes are connected

fathom juniper
#

nah it just changed

dense kindle
#

acid and petrol

fathom juniper
#

and i didn't touch anything

fathom juniper
dense kindle
#

iirc, it should

#

but maybe the pipes were empty when you accidentally overlapped them

#

you also mightve rotated and underground or something

fathom juniper
#

nah - i didn't change a thing

#

i bet it had somethign to do with pumps

#

i still don't quite get how they work

#

and i made a few today

#

but yeah - a solid flush was enough to get it going again

#

this somehow made my old steam engines kick in dusa

#

and now im getting some weird contamination PES_BoiStop

fathom juniper
#

i'm gonna run a test aPES_EvilPlan

#

i'm gonna save my game and trigger every single biter nest in my artillery reach

#

about 50-60 nests

austere wadi
#

How was the test?

austere wadi
#

You love to see it.

fathom juniper
#

those flame turrets are op as hell

austere wadi
#

High heat and arthropods do not mix.

#

Well, technically they do sometimes, but it ends badly for them.

fathom juniper
#

i wonder if they're going evolve again or not

#

because at this point they pose no danger at all

austere wadi
#

How much does the game run when you're not playing?

#

Can you set it to auto-run?

fathom juniper
#

i mean - it doesn't run on it's own if it's closed

#

you can leave it on idle but that's just PeepoShrug

austere wadi
#

So no surprise fire-resistant bug overruns while you're not looking.

#

When they eat flames like it's candy you'll be watching.

fathom juniper
#

your factory is gonna either run out of resources or clog up
since you're producing stuff and not expanding

#

inb4 there's water bugs no one told me about PES_BoiStop

#

if there are any water bugs
or flying bugs

austere wadi
#

Just fill in the water.

then i'm screwed because my entire east flank is open - it's just water there

@upper notch sonar/coop, waterboy/phenomiman?

#

kept coop and depressoman in my playthrough

upper notch
tiny lava
#

lmaoooo the 50/50 landed on sonar poor guy

#

batmanbat

upper notch
#

He was barely used for me

#

Meanwhile I used Birdlady a lot

tiny lava
#

same, i didnt like his mechanic of shifting forms

#

my most used is flambae

upper notch
#

It could be interesting but it's not worth it with how short the actual gameplay is

I would be very happy once we beat the story, we get the dispatch gameplay as an endless mode

tiny lava
#

yeah the small dispatch gameplay sections i liked a lot. if there was an endless mode i would love to have that in the game

upper notch
# tiny lava my most used is flambae

Really? I don't use him often

To me the MVPs are
Prism as the charisma one and can duplicate any hero
Coop as the int
JACKSEPTICEYE as the tank and backup charisma

Invisigal is great as a single agent to send

#

If I want something dead, I send Flambae

tiny lava
#

i have a theory that whoever got cut will probably join the villan in the climax or something

upper notch
#

Same theory

tiny lava
#

just a theory

upper notch
#

Robert is going to join the team
It's going to be like his father being part of his own

Mechaman will have his new hero team while he faces the traitor of his father's team

tiny lava
#

flambae has a passive that when he succeeds in any 2 missions his combat and mobility will max out at 9

#

rest time goes to 2 secs

upper notch
#

Wow

tiny lava
#

but when he fails any mission ALL his stats drop to 1

upper notch
#

I see

tiny lava
#

just dont fail smh

#

win that 50%

upper notch
#

I just make an army of Jacksepticseyes with Prism

tiny lava
#

i've mostly been pairing punchup with coop for the synergy bonus

#

(theres a steam achievement to max out synergies)

upper notch
#

What I find fun is that it's hard to discover the passives for everyone, so everyone I talked to has different experiences

#

I have a friend who has Golem be the most important member

tiny lava
#

yes! the other dispatch players i talked to on this server also had different most used heroes

upper notch
#

I wish the game branched more

#

If we fail to help Invisigal, she gets fired

tiny lava
#

but mostly we had the same choice in bringing in depressoman in the team

upper notch
#

The two we pick are the ones with most failures or are used the least

#

I want the Invisigal romance be something you actually unlock and work for

#

Instead it felt like she was a teen who's canonically dumb sexually harassing Robert Robertson the Third, Blue

tiny lava
#

invisigirl has so much plot armor 😔

#

i really want more scenes with the rest of z team

upper notch
#

Same

#

It's my biggest disappointment so far
I'm someone who likes Eris and yet I don't like Invisigal

tiny lava
#

malevola seems cool but she got shown up by invisigirl too

upper notch
#

Invisigal complaining about her invisiblity

#

Wait why don't GIFs work

tiny lava
#

its moving for me

upper notch
#

Strange

#

To me it's a link

#

But yeah, Invisigal is canonically stupid for that whole scene

#

"Woe is me, for I haveth the abilities only hath villains!"

tiny lava
#

the romance options are also pretty limited

upper notch
#

Is there only two?

#

Why can't we date Roy

tiny lava
#

for ig?

#

unless theres a secret 3rd option

upper notch
#

The weakest Samoan man

tiny lava
#

end up with one and do a dusa

#

i cant believe that word was filtered

upper notch
#

I didn't kiss Blazer and kept a respectful distance, so her initiating the romance was nice

#

Getting this scene was funny

tiny lava
#

I wonder if theyre going to keep the story focused on robert
Or will they actually have a scene where the team bonds a little outside of work

#

Because so far we only got BB and invisi scenes

#

Maybe the throwing stuff at flambae counts as team bonding

upper notch
upper notch
#

Question:
How much of the game is prerendered or inengine?

#

It runs very well, picking a dialogue option is seemless, and looks better than Invincible

tiny lava
#

the first time the game gives an option to throw something at him I understood cuz he hwas being mean
the 2nd time in the breakroom as uncalled for/overreaction

upper notch
#

Yup

tiny lava
#

i didnt even know i was going to throw it at him based on the choices

upper notch
#

I also didn't expect throwing the chair at Golem

#

I just wanted him to be offered a seat

tiny lava
#

robert was showing dominance to show the team that he wont be pushed around

upper notch
#

It's Golem though

#

I'd punch Invisigal
Fighting Golem is silly

tiny lava
upper notch
#

It's possible. It's very impressive how it works

tiny lava
#

it really feels like watching a tv series rather than a game

upper notch
#

I do miss the point and click parts but it was removed for pacing

#

I just want more dialogue from characters

#

Oldman and Roy are great

tiny lava
#

yeah i also was pleasantly surprised on how well done the mix of game to story was

#

cant wait for nov5 when the next cliffhanger

#

the pic of robert lying on the floor in his underwear XD

upper notch
#

When Invisigal is in DANGER because of her own DECISIONS

#

Will Invisigal DIE? Come back next week for more INVISIGAL

#

She's voiced by a normal VA which means she's probably cheaper and easy to get ahold of

tiny lava
#

if they are going to spend more time on invisigal
i wonder if they have enough time to build up the villain conflict

#

slade is just there in the shadow searching for the astral battery or something

upper notch
#

Invisigal will be the one to investigate the villain

#

And stop him

#

Also she's the true romance option and will invalid whatever choice you made

#

I wish we could interview Waterboy

tiny lava
#

stop trying to shatter my illusion of choice

upper notch
#

I feel like they gave Harry a full scene in the episode which helps people picking him, meanwhile Waterboy is a gag side character

#

I call Depression Man Harry because he looks like Harry from Disco Elysium and is going through similar problems

tiny lava
#

yeah but for some reason the % of picking waterboy was higher in the end credits

upper notch
#

Probably because of the romance

#

Do you want him around while you're dating his ex?

tiny lava
#

harrier du bois reference!!

tiny lava
upper notch
#

Sure but I can see a lot not chosing him for that

#

Get rid of the rival

#

The only scene that made me consider picking Waterboy was him helping stop the scene with Invisigal in the bathroom

#

He made the dialogue end which makes him a hero

flambae was right!

i did that only because i refused to learn other characters (which are basically differend modes) and just grinded stock cadence for 200 hours PES_Lul

no bugs can get anywhere close to my defences, let alone break them
i've got all this empty space i could build anything in

but it's like...
i don't really need anything?

at this point there's technically nothing stopping me from putting rocket silo research on and putting the game on idle

do you have any ideas on what i could do now @dense kindle ?

play a new modded save, speedrun, or get the dlc to continue

(you should though)

fathom juniper
#

factorio is taking enough of my free time as it is

#

as in - all of it

dense kindle
#

I will say I think rimworld is less inherently addictive than factorio

#

factorio has lots of short term and long term goals to keep up that constant dopamine drip

"Set up oil production"
"Get drones online"
"Beef up your iron line"
"finish this research"

god that sound is like...
a dopamine injection

and then seeing all these new buildings you need to make and add to your base

#

is that the one with those horrendous models?

fathom juniper
#

there was this one horror (?) game that came out a while back that had models that were just...

#

nightmare fuel

#

and not because of designs
but because of the topology

#

like - it had a remote that was just a block, a single button and an antena
and instead of it being like 200 triangles tops - every single element of it was subdivided to hell and back

#

and in the end it had like tens of thousands of triangles for nothing

fathom juniper
#

yeyeye!
that's the one

#

i was actually thinking about horror in games today for... some reason

and for some reason my mind defaulted to ravenholm from half life 2

speaking of being bored and looking for some new ways to play

mods or challenge runs - whatever

dense kindle
#

don't ask me I don't replay games that much

fathom juniper
#

last time i finished it on this super-duper triple modded hard difficulty so i think just pure high difficulty runs are kinda pointless at this point

is hl2 even fun when you mod the difficulty up

#

that games gunplay was not the best

fathom juniper
#

right on time

#

you guys are never late peepoSmug2

I'm sorry it just isn't lol

I hate the way the mp7 and usp feel

also the shotty feels floppy

please hit me with the classic "hl1 had better weapons"

#

please do it PES2_Pray

dense kindle
#

HL1 did not have better weapons lol

#

Halo CE did though

#

which was inbetween them

fathom juniper
#

i think hl2 guns are good

#

the revolver hits like a truck, spas is just great - ol reliable with a really meaty (and dumb PES_Lul ) alt shot, the crossbow nailing people to walls with red-hot rebar was mindblowing at the time, and the smg i think feels and sounds great

#

it's just a bullet hose that just goes BRRRRRRRRRR

#

grenades were cool - finally having nades that have proper physics

dense kindle
#

I think the smg doesn't have enough impact given its sound and rate of fire

fathom juniper
#

yeah the pistol was a bit pew pew, but it's a starter gun - come on

dense kindle
fathom juniper
#

that is true - it does feel a bit weak in it's damage output

#

OH BULLCRAP

#

first of wall - it was slow as hell
and second - it had two firing modes which were the same fire mode

#

this is why i wanted you to go there PES_Lul

#

i'm a huge half life fan and i know those games like the back of my hand

dense kindle
#

idk it had its uses
-Worked underwater. Good for fighting the fish as backup
-sounds better than the usp
-not floppy

fathom juniper
#

and last year i got so sick of this argument i compiled a list of every single thing wrong with hl1 weapons
and guess what - they're all on this list
every single weapon

#

and half of them are there because of bugs PES_Lul

dense kindle
#

it just feels good to crack off a few shots with the glock, while I feel disappointment with the usp

#

(I like black mesa better than both)

fathom juniper
#

yeah black mesa basically took the best of both worlds

#

in equal amount

dense kindle
#

it is basically useless though

fathom juniper
#

what hammer?

dense kindle
#

of a revolver

fathom juniper
#

but it's a glock

dense kindle
#

yeah I have no idea how it works

#

but also it was the 90s, no one knew how guns worked

fathom juniper
#

yeah exactly

#

valve certainly didn't cause they thought the magazine tube on the spas 12 was a second barrel dusa

#

which - i will admit - led to a cool mechanic that stayed in hl2

dense kindle
#

and where the hell do the grenades come from on the mp7

fathom juniper
#

yeah exactly - same thing

#

although it does have an underbarrel thingy there for nades

#

it's not exactly an mp7 - it's this sci-fi-ish version of it

dense kindle
#

I think HL2's AR feels great but it only has 3 mags of ammo iirc

fathom juniper
#

meanwhile the mp5 in hl1 is three different weapons depending on where you look at it and none of them make any sense dusa

dense kindle
#

also I don't really like the AR alt fire that much, at least in base game

fathom juniper
#

the combine balls?

#

love them

#

it's the bfg of this game

dense kindle
#

in base HL2 you're only killing combine dudes though so there's not really much to use them on

#

just feels wasteful

fathom juniper
#

no you're not

there's three different kinds of headcrabs, three different kinds of zombies (4 if you count the 50% off zombie), antlions and guards and scanners and gunships

and manhacks

dense kindle
#

do you have AR alt fire before the antlion guard fights

#

striders and gunships don't really count because infinite rockets

fathom juniper

i think so
because you get it right after ravenholm

yeah you totally get balls before antlion guards

highway 17, first outpost before the tunnel right before the first level change

#

just wtf is going on?

#

this feels like some weird, platform-wide gaslighting campaign 20 years in the making

Do you want to play a metroidvania platformer or a turn based rpg

silk abyss
pure kernel
#

only played the latter so biased af, but save up

#

the music, the atmosphere, the gameplay are all incredibly peak

#

but you will get depression (if you don't have it already)

#

oh and you may or may not need good reflexes for combat, it is turn based but you also have to dodge/parry incoming attacks
