Eternal Darkness is one of the very few horror games I’ve played AND completed - well not 100%'d but played through twice, once on GC and once emulated.

The game kinda waters down the whole sanity thing as you can just magick your sanity back up. Same for health, and magick goes up by just running in a circle for a bit. So essentially you can just max all meters all the time.

Either way, it’s a neat game. Even for those who are not really into horror games, as the game isn’t really that spoopy - and this is coming from someone who just generally can’t with horror games.

started with NES games in late 80’s, so in theory I should be fine with game pads? Platformers and driving games I can generally do fine, anything else? … heh, it’s like watching parents use computers. I just can’t do first/third person aiming with analog sticks or use bumpers/triggers at the same time with anything else.

Mouse and keyboard are my weapons of choice, at least with those I’m not embarrassingly bad.

edit: though, Nintendo Game Cube controller is kinda my thing, not that I’ve played much of NGC games or anything, but I did finish Eternal Darkness just fine (emulated, used savestates, but still), the controller just feels way more natural than modern xbox/ps controllers

exactly this.

As cool as it is (pun intended) to reach new heights with liquid nitrogen, what is the usecase for ~an hour (give or take) of stupid fast computing? I generally tend to use my machines longer than that.

Both seem reasonable. The banning is (AFAIK) mostly to prevent cheaters from making made-up familymember steam -accounts, and cheating in games as them. Once one made-up family member is banned, make another.

so, what I’m hearing is: for the price of 1€ per head, makes an okay timewaster for friday night beer-fueled gaming for 40-something coop-folk.

so how is the coop in this game? Racing as a team? How does it work? My friendgroup is VERY coop focused and 1€ is peanuts.

so… I take the multiplayer parts are going to be going away soon-ish, as offline mode is incoming and 1€ pricetag atm? Is this a last squeeze for the game?

Never played any of the crew games, but it’s openworld racing and radiotowers (as its ubisoft? :D)?

Oof, well, that does sound bad. But, still kinda interested. Wishlisted for sale, waiting for fairly deep one

went in expecting a space-skyrim with typical Bethesda jank, and that’s exactly what we got.

This is exactly what I’m expecting as well, so it’s fairly likely I’ll enjoy it. Wishlisted and waiting for a reasonable sale, I’m still kinda stuck in fallout: London for the foreseeable future - so not really hurting for content

so, how is starfield in current state, the pc version specifically? I do enjoy bethesda-style games (fallout 3, nv, 4, london, skyrim, etc.). I’m aware that at launch starfield was, apparently, quite the shitshow.

Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles … but with the caveats that a) it’s only PARTLY like stardew/portia/harvestmoon and b) For the life of me I can’t remember if the game had money or not.

The game is partly farm-life-sim, but the other part is “zelda-like” adventuring and getting rid of “dark smoke thing” that does bad things to the world.

iirc their previous post about it mentioned refunding everyone.

this looks gloriously stupid, but dunno how long until the joke becomes stale… oh well, wishlisted and will re-examine the situation once it releases.

Okay, sure, when given the fps camera, closest things to the camera are getting noticed. Duh?

But all things considered, who cares about a single goblin toe? Im much more scarred about the thongs happening in nearby shed. Bleach please.

But at that scale there’s always gonna be compromises. Duh. Does somebody actually expect full fidelity between 3rd person and closeups all the time? Might be showing my age but I sure don’t. What kind of madnes is that?

Games don’t need the show everything, leave a bit to imagination. Sure visuals ate cool, but don’t let that be all there is to it.

man, it’s been ages since I last saw this movie. Sober me’s todo for tomorrow: meaning of life, python. GET. ON. IT.

“20$ is 20$”

which said it first: kofi -funded developer or onlyfans star?

don’t we all? But we’re here to make boring business software for MBA’s

https://xkcd.com/323/ this? and the fact that most of my programming breakthroughs have come while in “two beers” territory.

edit: actually, no. MOST of my programming breakthroughs have dawned on me while sitting on the can. But second most is “two beers down”.

I’ve always thought the “buy me a cup of coffee” was a thinly veiled euphemism for “give me beer”

edit: also, I have contributed. There’s this one android app that works to translate between different wargaming/miniature painting paint brands (as in color matching), the dev straight up asks for a contribution for beer. It was so brutally honest I had to.
