a friend bought me Noita for my birthday so iโm gonna play that tonight my present to myself was Code Vein which is fun and chill so far |

in other non video games news, Iโve been busting my ass for quite a long time now to get stronger at Go, and Iโm starting to be able to beat certain weaker AIs pretty consistently. I think Iโm at about 15 kyu now, which means Iโve come a long way this year. I started 2019 at probably about 25 kyu. its taken nearly constant study, working problems in downtime at work, playing on my go app when I get a spare moment, grinding out match experience and being active in my local club. itโs really paying off and it feels great to see the results on the board I play a lot of games but Go is my real passion. but Iโve played it and been garbage at it for too long. got serious about it this year finally โง Edited by Applebaps at 2019-10-14 06:57:472019-10-14 06:57 |

finished Ciconia the other day at first i thought it was kind of lame because of the emphasis on battle scenes and weird mecha vibes, but itโs a true When They Cry story through and through with lots of intrigue and crazy foreshadowing i picked up Umineko Saku in akihabara today (got a cool when they cry calendar too) so iโm looking forward to reading the extra little story |
|
Iโm obsessively reading through the Ciconia threads on 4chan and itโs kind of amazingโฆ itโs like weโre basically back in the peak of the Umineko theorycrafting days of 2009, when nobody can spoil you on the answer because nobody actually knows what the fuckโs going on in Ryukishiโs head. |

elite dangerous all day every day |
|
wow classic โ luigiโs mansion 3 โ dwarf fortress luigiโs mansion was a lot of fun |
|
df always owns, i like to come back and check it out every couple of years |
|
bouncing between Night In The Woods and Monster Sanctuary, loving both |
|
i just discovered Slay the Spire and itโs fucking great i always figured there was a core fun game inside the deckbuilder genre but iโd never seen an example that wasnโt a cancerous CCG with aggressive monetization shitting all over it slay the spire proves that yes deckbuilding is fun and interesting |
|
Applebaps pwned me at go, I have no skill though. We gotta play again some time.
I played through a bunch of Night in the Woods. It didnโt feel very satisfying, it kind of just felt like a linear visual novel rather than an adventure game.
Thereโs a difference between deckbuilding game genre vs building a TCG deck |

final fantasy xii |
|
been revisiting old monster hunter titles, namely freedom unite on the psp and 4 ultimate on the 2ds i have mixed feelings on 4u and feel like generations ultimate is way better. freedom unite still owns tho also playing a lot of iceborne. feel like thatโs been pretty great but i crave more classic mh |

jumped back into Binding of Isaac for a bit, starting a new save file starting to remember why I liked and disliked this game, itโs fun as hell but I can feel the anger coming back at losses where I narrowly miss some goal and waste half an hour. Iโve already gone thru the stress of 100%ing this game, donโt need to repeat it all over again. |
|
fuck TBOI (until the final expansion comes out) |
|
man Iโm very hype for repentance |
|
i like isaac but i cant bring myself to grind for 100% |
|
same. i feel like that takes a lot of the fun out |
|
I wasnโt aware of this untill I was looking some stuff up last night. Kinda hyped now.
Itโs a fucking challenge/grind yeah, Iโm starting to remember some of the absolute bullshit this game expects you to do or throws your way. I donโt think Iโve played a game that so clearly hates its players. |
|
i 100%ed the original version (until they released a third expansion or something?) and ive never played it again theres just so many times where you didnโt get any damage powerups and everything just takes forever to kill its not about dodging anymore its about not being bored |
|
yeah, a canon port of antibirth? sign me the heck up |
|
yeah, rebirth had some serious power curve issues that itโs taken literally all of afterbirth and afterbirth+โs extra patches to correct the game is in a pretty good place atm with all expacs fwiw but it still sucks to get locked out of treasure rooms or to get to It Lives and realize you just donโt have the power to go beyond that without it taking 3 hours |
|
thatโs just what happens when youโre the first game in your genre and donโt have the benefit of being able to look at other games to learn what not to do i guess it could be a lot worse, too. it could be Enter the Gungeon lmao. like 80% of the guns in that game are utter shit. at least in isaac the bad picks only amount to like 10-15% of the item pool at this point โง Edited by Applebaps at 2020-02-08 17:48:302020-02-08 17:48 |

lately ive been playing Sabanโs Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid and by playing I mean just figuring out combos in training mode one of these days iโll go online I beat arcade mode without losing a character, so I wonโt get clowned on super hard I hope edit: i didnt say what it is, its a 3v3 vs-style fighter with simplified inputs not quite as crazy as a mvc, no flying characters yet and only one person can airdash but you still got ridiculous offense and combos โง Edited by meepches and pentell at 2020-02-09 00:08:532020-02-09 00:08 |

Iโve been playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance for the past two weeks and I fuckin love it itโs a great feeling to have a game that I look forward to playing every day now itโs been literal years and years since Iโve had this. I was playing Factorio a few weeks ago but it was alright. Still sort of enjoy it but Iโm way too into Kingdom Come right now |

Picked up Slay the Spire and gotten semi-addicted. Up to A15 Ironclad, A4 Silent, A16 Defect and A2 Watcher. Kinda hitting a wall though, itโs been difficult to get runs off the ground, I keep running out of steam mid Act 2. |

A few months ago, I read this article: Yesterday I finally tried out a branch of that, the Japan-only SNES game โRecord of Lodoss Warโ for 3 hours, but because emulation, I failed to properly save it, so I lost my progress (I since solved and can remedy in future). Iโm not sure if Iโll start it up again, but Iโll share my impressions. Going into this game knowing that it was originally inspired by a Japanese ttrpg group helped a lot. Given the generic nature of it, I otherwise would probably have passed it off as just-another-jrpg. If somebody ran a ttrpg of it, I think I would be compelled to roleplay in the world presented. The lore is laid out right away and seems manageable, generic fantasy flavour, with roles and stories you could slip into. I only played through the first little bit, where you start off as a single character. More than once, it seems like you are KOโd intentionally and your spirit moves to a new body which is a really cool idea. Thatโs scripted though, so you donโt get to choose. At first youโre a legendary warrior, then a lowly thief, then an OP wizard. There is talking, wandering and retreading using new info/equipment. Based on chracter art Iโve seen, I think this is only during the intro, and future charactes are probably static. The thing that stood out most for me is the linear nature of the game. I had zero chance for exploration. Also bothered me that I couldnโt investigate barrels or shelves or things on a table, etc. The world feels more dead to me if I can only interact with NPCs. If I play more, itโll be because I want to play beyond what might be the intro section, and finally have more party members and agency. If this is just an intro section, I think itโs a really cool way to start off the game; ease you in, instead of managing several characters from the outset, kind of like DQ4 or Live a Live. Something I also like about the game is the battle system. It feels a lot more dynamic and interesting compared to Final Fantasy. You have an isometric (this might not be the right term. not side on, not first person, but turned 45ยบ) grid of 3 or 4 by 4 or 5, so a rectangle. You have a move action, then an action-action. If you want to escape, move off the board. Magic can be cast across the field, melee is next-to (obviously). A battle feels more pressing in this game, since distance and spacing matters when you have an enemy - or multiple enemies! - upon you in a turn or few. Iโd like to learn how battle are late in the game. In other RPGs, itโs navigating the turn-based structure and juggling multiple abstract effects, but this game might be more like tactical D&D grid combat. Oh yeah. The music is generic and reptitive but fine. The art is not bad and standard SNES RPG, with nice anime portraits for party dialogue. Just navigating the UI, I love seeing an RPG not made by Square of Enix. There is a persistent frame throughout the entire game, like Super Game Boy except stylized like a fancy picture frame. If I play more, maybe Iโll check out the anime. https://www.romhacking.net/translations/2155/ Can you guys suggest any other Japan-only fan-translated games? โง Edited by A Talking Pokemon at 2020-06-03 13:47:202020-06-03 13:47 |
