Tohou - Great Fairy Wars. In Lunatic Mode.

Ace Combat 7. I re-watched Top Gun recently and that caused it.

I've been addicted to this PIECE OF SHIT Broken Arrow since release. The more I play the more I suck at it. But it's so good ;_; >>1806 Ebin, not a fan of bullet hell myself but I understand SPEED and flow state. >>1812 Hehe, I remember blaying Ace Combat 3 a bunch back in the day.

>>1846 >Broken Arrow Let me guess, the Russian faction is overpowered?

>>1848 It's don't tbh.

>>1848 ...although, to be fair, the Poccners get a boatload of prototype units which can go toe to toe with the good burger stuff. Apmatas, Bumerangs, Barbarises, SU-57s etc etc.

I'm currently addicted to Atlyss, it's furshit but also a very nostalgic, PS1 style RPG. And it's quite focused on online co-op which is fun too.

I wish I could play bang-on balls chronicles, but my computer is not built for that.

Started a new run of Factorio.

Played KCD but the DLC kept crashing my PC so then I played Stalker 2 and then I played Dying Light The Following DLC.

>>1911 >Stalker 2 What did you think of it?

>>1916 Well when I played SoC I played Kyuzos Oblivion Lost modpack which is not the same as Oblivion Lost Remake, it just restores stuff cut from SoC, adds guns, better A-life, combat AI and factions fighting for locations. When I played CoP I played Misery, so my comparison is not with the vanilla games. Stalker 2: Great world & map, looks and feels like a modern Stalker game, still plays mostly the same which is very pleasant for me as a lover of Stalker. Guns and combat feel pretty good except the combat AI is considerably less advanced and deadly and makes up for it with nade spamming, and the way the guns progress is fucked. Instead of damage and armour piercing being a calibre & ammo type situation, there's a new stat called penetration. Where you could previously clock the game with Streloks rapid AK and AP rounds, now at a certain point in the game when a sad event happens you need to start adopting sniper rifles or modern assault rifles. Even a 7.62 LMG becomes less effective. The atmosphere and tense uneasy feeling is still there, I feel the sound engineering is not quite as good as the old games but still good. A-life has apparently been fixed but I clocked the game before that happened , so whereas in Misery I'd be taking my time, scouting with binoculars and planning my movements ahead of time, it wasn't possible for me in Stalker 2, everything would spawn on me within a radius which sucked in comparison to proper A life. I will be playing it again but I'm a big Stalker fan.

>>1970 Noice. Those were my same thoughts after playing it and I stopped playing before the recent big patches and updates to the game. I really want to dive back in but got to wait for the temperatures to drop lower.

I want a Brytenwalda mod for Bannerlord already. Bannerlord disappointed me.

Been playing Titan Quest and just recently got all the Crysis games. Have to say Crysis 1 is kind of boring.

Don't let her die lads, I'm back

Nothing since I finished KCD, I'm waiting for the next update for Manor Lords which will bring custom stone castles.

Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal. I'm playing WAY too much of it. Also Bernd wants to look into one of the native Linux builds of Command & Conquer: Generals now that EA has released the source code.

Mostly been playing modded Bannerlord as a Battanian, going for a King Arthur-meets-Charlemagne type leader. >>3859 I'm actually working (slowly) on a fantasy mod for Bonerlord.

There's a pretty good Samurai mod for Bannerlord that recently released. Hopefully there will be more mods developed by dedicated autists in the future - I don't care much for the default scenario.

>>5369 One of the few good games of this shitty decade

>>5842 Any recommendations for mods? The game feels so empty for me

>>5860 There aren't many so far that I'm aware of There's the Old Realms, which is Warhammer Fantasy; Shokuho mod, which is Gekokujo but in Bannerlord; one mod that takes place in 800's England, but I forget the name; and several fantasy mods, like the Land of Sika. There are several useful mods for vanilla like a mod that adds stuff from Warband like feasts, bandits, and the old casualty log; Banner Kings, which changes the economy and makes it more realistic (but that's been pretty buggy for me); and a far more complex banner creation system. It's

Victoria 3 Workers and Resources Soviet Republic HOI4 GTA SA (original not defective edition, modded)

Just 100%ed with GF >>5044 Had to uninstall couldn't stop and somehow felt more than usual like throwing my life away

>>6019 How casual-friendly is it? I started appreciating stuff like quest markers or logs since working full time.

>>6021 You must keep external notes, it's part of the game. It's not too onerous, you can use a notebook or an alt-tabbed text file or whatever. There are 2 levels to the game. The first (roguelike puzzle game) is very fun and is sufficiently casual-friendly. Most players will stop here and still have greatly valued their experience with it. To actually complete the rest of it with no spoilers is very challenging.

>>6025 >you can use a notebook or an alt-tabbed text file or whatever. My play pattern recently had evolved to playing for 1-2 hours and then not playing for a week or so. Do you think this is a game that works like this, or will I spend an hour reading my notes before doing anything meaningful? Also, how did you involve gf? Couch co-op, remote screen sharing or something different?

>>5848 It's cosy, especially the first map

>>6029 I suspect it can be played somewhat like that without too much trouble, though if you really like it then "1-2 hours then not for a week" will be painful, and some sessions will unexpectedly stretch beyond what you were anticipating and you won't be able to walk away (no mid-run saves). Maintain a loosely-priority-sorted TODO to jog your memory. Knowledge gains consolidate somewhat regularly, and almost everything that you encounter early you will encounter often. You can pursue many things at a time and there is some redundancy, though if you want to finish the full-on 100-hour post-normie-endgame you cannot lose track of some things or you will end up quite stuck. Couch co-op. If you're lucky you can have her take the notes. Often helps to have a second set of eyes.

>>6029 >>6056 To be clear, "couch co-op" here is you operating the controls and her sitting next to you. But you are playing together because the game is not in operating the controls.

>>6057 Yeah, that's the kind of co-op I was imagining. I we have recently finished Agent A like that. Blue Prince seems like a nice successor for us even though it's a bit more expensive. I'll consider buying it the next time she visits me and we're in the mood for video games.

>>6059 Obra Dinn should be at the top of your list for playing in that manner. All-time experience. Though much much shorter (maybe a benefit in your case)

>>6060 Though it probably needs to be played in one big chunk for full experience. Over 2-3 days at most. 10ish hours total.

>>6060 I respect the artists' choice, but the Moliere effect/aliasing is pissing me off in the video already. I don't think I can look at this for 10 hours. The gameplay seems nice though.

>>6062 I thought the same thing but it was fine

>>6062 (note it looks worse in videos due to compression)

Baba is You. It's a puzzle game made by a finnish programmer. Currently stuck on pic related. >>6060 Obra Dinn is an amazing game. The once in a lifetime experience. Haven't played the Case of the Golden Idol yet but that's next on my list after Baba is You. Most kino moment in the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GadL-6wpp3U

The Guild 1410 was announced. Maybe after 2 shit sequels they finally manage to recapture the magic of The Guild/Die Fugger, but I won't hold my breath.

>>6691 Fugg :DDD

I am in a Medieval 2 Total War mood. I like TW but none of them compare to Medieval 2, the settlement management system is maximum cosiness.

>>7011 Lack of autistic stuff like visual armour progression if you construct certain tech buildings is why I don't like Nu-TW. I think Shogun 2 is the last entry I sometimes replay.

>>7014 What did you make of Rome 2? I found it fun making a celtic federation and taking over parts of europe but the lack of pictures and descriptions for buildings and units annoyed me, just some historical wikipedia tier description. Also trade was yugely better in medieval 2.

>>7015 Only played one Roman campaign and a Saxon one in Attila, magic was largely gone imo.

>>7011 Medieval 1 had the best empire building of the series. Endless building castles while forcing your princesses to commit incest so you can see how many genetic diseases your heirs can collect.

Please speak up with suggestions for recent autism games. Must be mostly cleanly discrete (as in vs continuous), and turn-based or slow. Hard mode: with low or strictly-gradual learning curve, ie no Paradox (which are also mostly continuous) Historical core examples: Slay the Spire, FTL, Civ V, Factorio, Minecraft

>>7650 Replay HoMM2

I finished Pentiment, put it off for a long time. Mixed feelings, on one hand setting a game in the Peasant Wars is so wonderfully specific and it's clear that it was a passion project of Sawyer. Sadly both the RPG mechanics and the murder mystery plot were sort of lacklustre and I didn't care at all for the new protagonist in the second half. But it's nice that they wrote dialogue where people don't swear all the time, was a major irk for me in KCD where they made the dialogue too Game of Thrones/Witcher like.

>>7699 Pentiment was such a letdown. It started off great but then quickly after the first act turned worse. Mainly, the choices we make, the character dialogues and the traits we select, don't make much of a difference. The dialogues are also weak and basic. Expected something more from a game that is centered around story telling. Also, I'm not a poltard by any means but the narrative not missing a chance to talk about women's place in society, rape, Turing vollständigs, black monks in the middle of fucking nowhere, jewish people, gypsies and so on, is too much. It's exaggerated to the point of it being comical. The historical accuracy is perhaps close to 20%. Probably less but I stopped caring early on. The art and OST is well done. The idea was neat. It's a shame that they couldn't get better writers and historians on the team. Now the game I recently finished is Mundaun. It's a game with a setting in Switzerland and the VA is in Romansh. It was interesting being able to understand a lot of it due to knowing italian. The game is a walking sim with light puzzle and horror elements. It's the great atmosphere that pulled me in. I just liked walking around and exploring in the limited area. The story is cliche but it's executed well. Currently play testing Militsioner and really like the game, the atmosphere in particular is comfy and the idea itself is rather unique.

>>7706 The secretly fag monks and the Jews were plausible enough (they were involved in the printing business), the gypsy and Ethiopian did reek of forced DEI though.

>>7707 >the Jews were plausible enough (they were involved in the printing business) Correct but them being friends and guests with the Druckers was also as historically inaccurate as possible. My problem was not that there were jews in the game, it's the way the relationship with them was handled like with other characters. You can suspend belief here and there but Pentiment kept posing such silly premises that it stops being immersive. At least for me. >The secretly fag monks Yeah. That wasn't a problem for me but it did add to the overall inclusive narrative the game has going. I wish they kept it more realistic is all.

>>7718 It's an unfortunate reality that modern writers of historical media can only implement diversity in a heavy-handed way. Like, it always has to be niggers, it can't be, say, a guest from Novgorod, a Turkish diplomat or whatever. Instead of showcasing historical trades women dominated like brewing or textile making, they just write them to be sarcastic and snarky, it's superficial and stupid. Games usually have at least _somewhat_ authentic art direction/costumes which is why I can enjoy them, unlike TV show slop.

>>1805 I genuinely can not pe arsed to play anything any more. I think the last thing I enjoyed was this a couple months ago. Tried Turtle WoW, but the enjoyment evaporated upon doing a quest that literally steals 10 gold from you at low lvl.

>>8000 >8000 God damn it I will have to try to get 10000

>>8000 Journey got me laid.

>>8015 backstory?

>>8011 >>7000

I'm going to play The Old Realms which is a warhammer mod for Bannerlord, I don't like Warhammer but I think weird fantasy mods and all the things you can do with them are fun at least. There also aren't really many full conversion mods out, it seems to be taking a while for people to make them. There is a Lord of the Rings Mod called Kingdoms of Arda that looks interesting but has been in development for ages and still isn't even in a playable state. There is also the Japanese mod but I am not sure how far that is in development, I really hope it has Touhous in it like Gekkojou did. I wonder if the modding scene is as strong as it used to be, I think that with the tools available to us now, people that are interested in 3d modelling and game development can create their own projects that are their own and they can actually monetise rather than working on mods, so there probably is less incentive for it now.

>>8028 I'm not gonna touch bannerlord again until bretwalda mod is released

>>8040 I haven't played Bannerlord for a while, probably not for over a year or maybe even 2, So it will be interesting to see what has been added to The Old Realms.

Tamriel Rebuilt. I just did all of the Baluath Clan vampire quests as a Dunmer nightblade then cured my vampirism. I think I will try the Narsis content now.

>>7011 Try Insularis Draco brent

>>8050 I played TR extensively in 2021, really need to explore the new/remade content one of these days. Their design philosophy is great. Morrowind will never get old for me.

heh heh... just as keikaku...

I'm playing Girls Frontline 2 now. Not much to say about it at the moment as it's one of those games with an annoying and long tutorial and I am going to bed now.

>>8709 How can you play all of those games at once? Do you have 4 computers? Oligarch.

DayZ

>>8759 based dayzigger

>>8761 unfortunately i'm not based

Bretty good so far. Gives me nostalgic feelings.

>>8786 I would have bought it if it wasn't almost literally the same game with updated graphics. :/

>>8786 locked at 60fps a disgrace to the gaming community still better than 99% of games though

Starsector, it's dope. https://fractalsoftworks.com/ And Tiny Tinas Wonderlands, but I am not really into the BL games. Shogun 2 FOTS, but ehh. Banished despite some annoying bugs.

>>8828 Forgot ratings: Starsector: 8.5/10, modded it's 11/10, but beware, the story line isn't finished Tinas Wonderlands: 7/10, it's an alright BL Shogun 2 FOTS: 7/10, bugs and quirks* are annoying *in the fog of war the AI recruits slop units in their towns, they magically get replaced by better units etec. Banished: 8/10, a bit more content without mods would be nice, tiles which get fucked when you remove a field near uneven ground are also a bit of a pain Overall I had fun, feels almost like I am back to gaming. :3

>>8828 >>8832 Cool thing about FOTS is the symphony of cannonfire you can create. Still, I prefer the default scenario.

Mount and Blade Warband Civ 5 bnw lekmod

In this Girls Frontline most of the Girls aren't called gun names, they have been changed. So this is MP7 in GFL 1 but in GFL 2 she is called Cheeta. This confused me for a bit.

Also the red foregrip isn't standard. I put it on their myself. I'm something of an Operator and this is an Operator's game.

This one is called Nagant and she carries a Nagant revolver. There is also one called Mosin-Nagant but I haven't got her yet.

I feel like such a boomer for doing this but it's mostly solitaire these days. I've found it helps me collect my emotional thoughts while I occupy the logical part of my brain, and it's also easy to quit when I should. It's basically my methadone. https://www.zachtronics.com/solitaire-collection/ I weak moments I play a paradox or paradox-like and binge it until it's done. Last one was Terra Invicta, which is space strategy without paradox brainworms (such as a mana system), but on a similar complexity level as HOI4 with several DLCs. First game that I actually opened Excel for in order to win it. Good game, huge strategic depth, but it can get a bit tedious and the replay value isn't overly high yet. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1176470/Terra_Invicta/

nothing, all games become extremely boring when you hit a certain age

>>9194 Bummer

>>9194 get drunk and then play

>>9194 What age?

>>9244 7

>>9263 I don't believe that.

>>9244 >>9264 39

>>9304 Ohh, I'm not that old so who knows.

>>9308 for me it started 9 years ago

>>9312 Then that would be younger than I am now, so it's not true.

I got Mosin-Nagant! Now I have Nagant and Mosin-Nagant.

>>9312 I also aged out of games at 30 but it mostly means that I play different games now and more deliberately

I picked up Parasite Eve 2 for the first time out of the blue on last weekend. Well, I had watched a review video on it partly and got lured in by the gameplay improvements. I like old RE-like games but I dropped PE1 right at the end of the first disk a few years ago. Random encounters did a number on me I guess. In case of PE2 I'm on the second disc already. I'm looking forward to the Bounty NG mode as only bosses can pose a formidable threat on the first playthrough. Yes, I've spoiled the moon gates to myself, might try the bad end on the second run though. Speaking of emulation, I'm playing on Duckstation in native resolution with a crt shader (lottes?), couldn't come up with something better. It's hard to make adjustments for games with prerendered backgrounds. >>9345 Is it just my perception or GFL2 contributed to increase of feet anime pictures in general? Even ZZZ tried to hop on the train with a "feety" girl. PS Wow, KC is back, I'm really surprised to see you all.

>>9745 I haven't really noticed much or any foot related stuff in GFL 2 and I don't know who ZZZ is(and I don't want to know).

>>9747 Good for you really. Although I doubt you didn't check out how good the character's details and textures are. Shame they made MP7 into a useless starting support. Also character classes made little sense when I checked the game on cbt and release. A doll is either a DD or a support but I liked the melee class. Did they add any challenge to the main campaign or it's still can be played with closed eyes?

>>9749 The textures are indeed quite good. She is somewhat useless but there is also an event where you can max out her character and gun. Also I use her as a healer. I think there is a bit of variation in class but yes there really isn't much and it kind of doesn't matter. It's more about what skills they have an how they pair with other characters. I don't use Melle but maybe I should, it just feels weird to use melee in a game like that. Campaign is still easy. I haven't finished it though.

>>9750 >you can max out her character and gun Yeah, I heard her later upgrade transforms grenades into a healing skill or something like that. >It's more about what skills they have an how they pair with other characters. It's a good way to approach gameplay. The bad one would be "I must roll for the current broken meta", FOMO gacha model be damned. >I don't use Melle but maybe I should, it just feels weird to use melee in a game like that. Krolik felt as weak as Cheetah but Ulrid is fun when you accumulate her "points" so she can attack trice in a row. It's not like Krolik or Cheetah are useless in my opinion but a lot of enemies tend to have fire resistance which makes them perform worse. Maybe the reason is players tend to have more flame characters from the beginning.

>>9751 Yes, if she ends an action with a buff she heals another character or herself. Ehh, I actually have the characters I want at the moment really, the game is pretty generous and also there aren't that many characters to roll for anyway and I don't want the three current event ones. I have Tololo, she gets two actions a turn if she has full points(which she starts with at the beginning of a battle).

>>9752 >Yes, if she ends an action with a buff she heals another character or herself. I am talking not about her passive skill but the picrel key which inverts her other active skill. Her passive is ok until you actually need target healing when bosses focus your carry dolls like Suomi. In that case even Colphne is better. >I don't want the three current event ones. Speaking of events, are they brought back to archive after some time? I know limited banners are bread and butter for gacha but cutting playable content is lame. >Tololo Yeah, Alpha is cute and very useful dork. Actually someone of her power trivialities the game even further than it is. She's for challenge stages and that non_pvp mode. Hope they don't creep nerf her.

I've been thundering on the War Thunder. Was trying to get low effort battles in the He 162 today. Zeros should not face He 162s, it's just sad. t. energy management pro

Thinking if I should buy sims 1 and sims 2 legacy to kill time. Would playing sims make me a faggot?

>>9812 No, fucking guys would make you a faggot.

>>9813 Makes sense.

>>9812 I'm playing "Sims with zombies". My future home in the SpeedyGO and my current temporary home. I'm going to make some kind of castle courtyard with stone walls around that gravel yard in the front and then wooden palisades around the other stuff.

>>9935 Is dis project zomboid?

>>9937 Yes

>>9940 Noice, I get videos of it recommended all the time on jewtube. Cant wait to play it myself.

>>9935 I'm waiting for a good Fallout mod for it :^)

>>9812 make an ugly bastard and try fugging all women surely that is not Turing-vollständig

I have decided that I am going to buy and play Hollow Knight Silk Song. Not because I care about the game(I have not even played the first one) but because I feel like supporting the South Australian video games industry.

It's okay I guess.

>>10042 Buy and play Forgotten City it's worth it.

>>10155 I refuse to support V*ctorians.

Silk Song is actually a pretty cool game. When I opened the game it said I should be using a controller, I ignored it and I was doing quite well but know that I have unlocked sprint/dash I am struggling to use it as I would like, I think I will need to use a controller.

WTF? How did it get there?

>>10157 Who the fuck even does this interstate rivalry shit anymore? Is it jealousy?

>>10367 It's not really rivalry. In fact I didn't used to care. But when I went to Victoria I realised how uncivilised it is. Also I came to the realisation that actually I don't have any connection to any other part of Australia but where I live in SA anyway. My ancestors never lived in Victoria or NSW or any other state but SA. I have no connection to them, I have more of a connection to England as at least my ancestors were from there. I also hate Australia and it's biosphere in general. But at least I live in this bit so have a connection to it and hate it less than other bits.

>>10373 I don't disagree with you there but can you extrapolate on how VIC is any more uncivilised than SA? I travel around the country for work and it feels like the whole place has gone to shit.

>>10377 They swear a lot more particularly in public(I even heard bakery staff swearing) also their staff in bakeries and restraunts look quite bad, they just wear random casual clothes. Lots more tattos in Victoria too, particularly more full body coverings. I even saw a Neo Nazi guy with neo Nazi tattos on his head over there. I didn't even think they were real. Also Victorian architecture is bad. South Australian traditional architecture is brick and sandstone but Victorian traditional architecture is those southern USA looking white wooden skate houses or Victorian era London industrial brick. Also SA was settled by free people not convicts and there is also a lot more Irish infusion in Victoria(much of it through said convicts). There is probably a bunch more that I missed about why Victoria is uncivilised too.

>>10380 I meant slat houses not skate houses.

Got my sister to pick up PS4 controller from my mums, back to it now.

I played a OG Oblivion, then Skyrim with mods and now Civ V again. Also Noita in between.

>>10443 What kind of mods for Skyrim? I tried building Skyrim with mods myself this year. I got satisfied with my modlist but dropped the game after reaching around 32 lvl. Either vanilla or modded Todd's games start feeling trivial and bland when combat breaks down. The most fun I got out of Bethesda games was Morrowind for the sole reason of sightseeing and Nev Vegas for being closer to FPS.

>>10446 There's mods that can turn it into action RPG combat like Dark Souls, but as I always play a full mage in TES, these never really appealed to me so I just use Apocalypse Spells, College Quest Expansion and Ordinator Perk Overhaul for a proper mage experience. I also think some of the custom followers like Xelzaz are very impressive with their reactive commentary, giving a bit more roleplay depth to the game. I keep coming back to both Morrowind and Skyrim but could never really get into Oblivion, setting is just so bland.

Test

>>10446 Mainly sex mods from loverslab...but yeah, as >>10449 said, there's so many mods to make the game interesting.

>>10443 >>10451 Omg there is a second Austrian here now. I hope u arent the gypsy vatnik...

>>10452 No. I've always been a lurker and only post sporadically on Kohlchan. It should be apparent I am not the gypsy because I can write without insulting everyone.

>>10455 Ok very good. I also play civ 5 btw. U playing with lekmod?

>>10456 No, the only mods I've ever used were Future Worlds and Raging Barbarians (not sure if it's called that).

>>10482 Why does it look like a chineese knock-off Atelier?

>>10484 >Atelier No idea what that is >chineese You got it right

>>6060 I got stuck past the halfway point in the game and could not figure out how to progress for the life of me

>game community supposedly on Discord >log into Discord because I have an account there >remember why I don't use Discord >notice I just got cancer Seriously, you couldn't make a shittier site with shittier mechanics than Discord even if you tried to. If you're not part of the circlejerk and spend all your time there you have no chance to gain any kind of information or use from there.

>>10711 Gotta hate when some game mod you desperately need is locked behind Shitcord

>>10711 Learned that the hard way recently. I hate Discord with a passion. IRC or bust.

I'm going to play Genshin impact again now, I have not played it since near the beginning as I ran out of things to do after Liyue and then my life got complicated but now they have added a lot more but my PS4 is at mums so I will make a new account on PC.

I think I just got given Mona in an event but that can;t be right.... This must be temporary.

>>10774 No, it's permanent. Since the game is entering its later stages, they are regularly giving away some free stuff, some exclusively for newer players, but also some free basic characters, which have fallen off in the meta by now, to make them a little more relevant. For a new player, Mona is a great addition, since otherwise there is only Barbara for Hydro, who is just a mediocre healer, while Mona has good hydro application, is a good support and also her dash gimmick is a nice to have bonus, unless you have better options available like Mavuika, Xilonen or Furina. Arguably, her ability to distract/temporarily disable opponents with her skill and burst are just as helpful as a healer, since she prevents damage in first place. Also dat Mon-ass!

>>10793 Nice. I probably would have picked Mona anyway or maybe the kechaning. I don't like Mona's run because you lose sight of her but she is cute.

>>10806 >Nice There's also the "To temper yourself and journey far" event ongoing, which means you have to do your daily commissions and resin spending for a few weeks, and you get lots of nice stuff. At the end, there's a constellation for a 5-star-character you already own waiting for you, so you could get a free constellation for Mona, which will buff her a little. I think it takes a while until you unlock the resin and commission stuff though, but the event repeats for a while as far as I remember. >or maybe the kechaning. Keqing is cool and super stylish, love her, especially her Starward Sword looks super awesome. But unfortunately she's mostly useless, since her damage output sucks. Mona or Tighnari are the way to go in my opinion, or maybe Jean, if you don't have Anemo Traveler and need a healer. Since you will get a free Dendro bow user at some point, I think Mona is indeed best choice over Tighnari, despite him being stromger than Collei, the free Dendro bow. >I don't like Mona's run because you lose sight of her but she is cute. Not sure if you know it, but you can dash over water with her, that's helpful in the beginning, but also a source of suicide when your stamina runs out while you're still on deep waters. Also opponents can't hit you while dashing. She's a bit of a ninja with her skillset.

Playing sims 1 legacy for a few days. Start was rough, but I am slowly getting there. Playing without cheats. Need more family frens to get dem promotions.

Does Börnst like playing in sandboxes? ...recently found back to Factorio. Quintessentially I left mad, as the main wall to secure resources was finished, I finally wanted to try out rails with all those nice rail blueprint books you get online. Sadly, all blueprints were misaligned with my wall, so I nuked and napalmed some biters with newly researched bombers and tended my attention towards Vintage Story. Now, about half a year later, we are so back and are confronted with a ghastly unfamiliar factory with all kinds of open ends, far away from actually into SPAAAACE! Still finding things that I completely forgor to have set up. Anyway, went along and learned those darn trains, drew some tile-able design of my own liking and started developing the newly secured resources. Changed from wanting to smelt on site to smelting centralized back to smelting on site until agreeing to smelt in case to case decisions. Seeing some "agreed meta" rail designs, flaws in my own design become glaringly obvious as well, but that's just how we roll for now. Refueling turned out far luckier as expected, as I integrated an early jet fuel station into the iron smelting output before I went ahead to actually research how to schedule with it. All pre-2.0 posts pointed towards having to refuel at every station to spare myself further hassle, but seemingly 2.0 integrated intercept conditions which easily junctioned the refuel station into the train schedule on the condition of low fuel. And with that the whole system should be pretty much operational, all major ores are developed, processed and on rail, waiting to be appointed trains and a station that actually produces something, probably circuits first. Was fun to learn about the pros of rails, I remember to play with the thought to simply stick with belts for the whole game.

>>10867 towards the end you'll go through resource fields pretty quickly. That means that it does not make too much sense to do any kind of processing on the site because you'll have to demolish and rebuild it against as soon as the fields runs out and you move to another one. Being able to quickly move to a new site far away is also the main benefit of the trains. This is far easier than doing it with belts.

Rogue Trader is the best 40k game I've ever played, and one of the best CRPGs in quite some time. Honestly makes me excited for the Dark Heresy RPG.

>>10867 I'm currently playing Captain of Industry and really like it. I have to get back to Factorio someday. I didn't even finish the addon, because I jump games too much and don't have enough time to play everything. >>10892 I still need to play this.

Whilst Genshin Impact models itself on Japanese games it does have a certain Chinese uniqueness to it. They frequently talk about wine and in the quest I am doing know they are having a cooking competition and find a boar that was hunted to extinction for it's high quality meat but this one was frozen and so was still alive. In a normal game it would probably be preserved as the last of it's species but as it's a Chinese game they eat it.

I'm really into minesweeper, I've got some good records lately

>>10939 >In a normal game it would probably be preserved as the last of it's species but as it's a Chinese game they eat it. Genshin made me wonder if I'm actually the bad guy, killing harmless Hilichurls who are just chilling by the river, and slaughtering innocent cute bunnies or birdies, just for the food drops.

>>10957 Nikki in Infinity Nikki kills tons of animals to make frilly dresses out of them. Is that better, or worse?

>>10449 Isn't it funny how the one interesting piece of lore in Oblivion (The Song of Pelinal) was some text document hastily thrown together by the main Morrowind writer for the DLC. Bethesda will never be this based again.

Go by the side, bitch, it's the big boss in the silken suit. Cold Waters, with Dotmod. Currently playing a 60s campaign. Ancient freedom subs vs. ancient commie subs. Provided you can catch them alone, it's like clubbing baby seals. Provided you don't, pray they sent their torpedos in a fashion that they won't activate until you're gone.

Battled my second train for a whole schedule, but the sucker switched to the sweet new rocket fuel before train #1 and took far off. Oh well. Instead of finally finishing the tremendously YUGE refinery project, Bernd started something new right below the smelters and set up a more or less artisanal rocket fuel production and new refueling points. Slowly getting nicely crowded in this area, seems like a nice spot to bless with prickly and fun sour rain. At last the whole site had to be inspected in person, been some time that I took the chopper and wanted to grab a load of fresh fuel for my toys anyway. Except for a few tasks that ask for physical appearance, I've been playing the game solely in map mode now, been playing far too much in person before the long break. >>10873 Yeah, also already noticed that it's kinda nice when you can choose the location you are going to pollute, as some operations near the wall already garnered attention from outside the wall while just filling up. >>10907 Ahoi Herr Kaleu :3 Captain of Industry is a great game. Only just started an island into early sustainability with the recent updates and then jumped to Factorio, but haven't touched the new trains yet. Heard they work without signaling even, did you try them yet?

The messaging in this game is very interesting. the Liyue part is about a god pretending to die in order to pass on responsibilities to mortals and grant them independence. This very much seems like a reference to the Communist take over of China. Zhongli also dies but then is not dread and he comes to earth in a human guise too, very much like Jesus. A Zhongli is Jesus, God and the holy spirit. But that's probably overthinking it as the game is Chinese so would draw form different mythologies.

What does Bernd find scarier, STALKER, Amnesia or Dying Light? I'm replaying dying light and during night runs my heart is always pounding. Also when I played Shadow of Chernobyl the second time I had a save game at the door of X18 I didn't want to resume for weeks because the first time was so terrifying.

>>11593 Never played Dying Light, looked kinda gay. Been a while playing the other two, but I think I found Stalker rather exciting in a combat fashion than scary, so it's probably Amnesia.

I'm in Inazuma now. >>11593 Stalker can be scary sometimes, I'm not so sure about Dying light, I did play it but never finished it. But I don't remember being scared at all. I never played the other one.

I wish foxes were this friendly in Australia...

>>11593 Didn't play Ammesia but I used to shit my pants every time I went down in X-18 across multiple STALKER playthroughs :DD

I hate scary games, especially the ones with cheap jumpscares. I only played through SOMA because they later added a mode in which the enemies leave you alone, so it's basically a walking simulator.

Bernd plays this one. It's called "my summer car". The main character is quite bernd-like.

>>11646 Finnish game about Finland. Perkele!

>>11649 Wouldn't a Finnish game about Finnish summer only last for about 4 minutes

>>11650 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artistic_license

Idled on some Path of Achra against. Fun build to escalate stacks with the god Yu. Then I finally did the most obvious thing and hooked up the incredible increase in materials to my legacy base to keep its patches lasting for much longer and give a base load to the whole train system. Finally here and there a wild train might actually be spotted, trynna to pounce with 450km/h :3 Also worked on the earlier, but now secondary refinery project and equipped it with some ammo production halfway through the wall, the base is getting a whole lot stinkier when there's actually some production and that attracts attention of unwanted pollution fetishists... Praised be Kali that a mod gives mortars and cannon turrets against those evolved behemoth and boss biters another mod adds. Slowly everything seems established, so now it's either expanding into SPAAAAACE or further outwards to secure more resources. But with the former giving artillery and forges, that's probably the better path to take to ease the latter later. Want to get into automated vehicle construction to easily set up squads to sent out on extermination missions as well, sounds cool in theory to automate at the very least. >>11597 I wish to hoof on Monas pantyhose ;_; >>11646 Do you really need to learn the whole engine and gears and shit? I saw some videos and now it teases me whenever I browse the shop.

Still in 1968 sinking soviet subs and other assorted ships. At night you even get a cool spot where you sunk the enemy sub. Then I managed to sink two Novembers (third picture). The hard part was catching up to them because while I managed to be in one's baffles, that wasn't the case for the other one, and they ran close enough to each other that I couldn't go flank, so I had to slowly inch closer until I could send two long thick object into her ass. The other one apparently didn't notice, so I only had to get into her baffles and THEN I could run properly and in no time that one was done for too. I even got a medal for that.

Some very nice spots here. >>11663 Pervert...

Finally about to set up some rocketry. Silos right at the airport, the new factory incidentally already reaches rather close to the main base, so we add low density structures and blue circuits to it and the refinery there is already producing rocket fuel for the train refueling station, noice. After 150 hours and for his very first time Pernd proudly presents: SPAAAAAAAAAACE! The final frontier to acquire waifus. Also poured into memory with the 100th screenshot, coincidences... gotta love 'em. Also also ignore the achievement about solar panels, as the regular ones were skipped for improved modded ones later on. >>11749 Imagine the smell... of those flowers.

Heh, they were too lazy to make animations for characters to sit cross legged so they just put the table in a hole.

>>12003 It's probably not a nice smell, glowing flowers probably smell weird.

It is difficult to go back to regular Crusader Kings after playing the Elder Kings mod (Elder Scrolls) for it. Especially fucking around with the magic system, necromancy, cloning etc. is a lot of fun.

>>12003 Gleba best planet. Good luck designing your first ship!

Oh no... I finished the Inazuma chapter and at the end a very sad thing happened, I will not say it because I don't want to spoil anything. So I'll just put her phase 1 theme here to remember her by. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51vYKjbchtU

>A new Genshin Player Oh wow, thats rare. Sadly they never updated the Paimon Shop because some 4* Units have some Overworld Quality of Live Improvments in their Skills. Sayu & Lynette - Faster Running Kirara & Kachina - Faster Climbing Ororon - higher Jump Ifa - "Flying" Enjoy the Story & Exploring... still you can, until you getting annoyed.

>>9935 I like this one a lot, I just don't like the "early access" loop of having to play the game over & over & over & over again over years as it gets developed; I'm waiting on this to get much further in the dev process before reinstalling it. Especially with games that end up getting heavily modded like this, it's a nightmare. And the worst part is sometimes waiting doesn't even help, I waited for 10 years to play No Mans' Sky again, and as good as it's become they're STILL doing these major fucking updates full of shit I want to play with, that break all the existing mods. Right now I'm playing Kenshi.

>>12122 For now it's not much, just a cross with some collection and muh lazers. Already sending rockets by the dozens just to deliver the space platform, which I automated right away and dedicated a lane on my rocket belt, the factory now really churning to live with all that resource "waste". Thought I probably overbuild for the last 20-30 hours or so. Instead I'd rather like to see some more iron patches secured. And being totally a fire sign myself, I'm probably off to that lava planet first if I get to choose. >>12109 Probably sweet, yet also cheesy-pungent due to some bio-chemical process... hmmm. >>12176 I really wish the monetized gacha stuff wouldn't be that much in your face and obvious to predatorily squeeze you from hard earned cash, I'd even spend some money on it then. The world building is GOAT, the girls as well as boys as well. I'll stick to the Pantyhose Impact adjacent stuff.

>>12178 Nice. It's interesting to see how you design stuff. > I'm probably off to that lava planet first if I get to choose You absolutely do get to choose and it's probably the best one to start from.

im playing Silksong but im always tired after wörk and Silksong is demanding so i always end up quitting early t. hollow knight 112 %

>>12178 This Lumine is so cute.

>>12176 Lynette is free from an event. I don't use her though. >>12178 I haven't spend any money on it. I actually thought about it and looked at the shop but the prices are ridiculous for what you get. A 10 pull would work out at about 20 AUD and that doesn't even guarantee you will get a new character or a character at all, just a 4 star thing. At least the game itself gives you Primogems fairly regularly. >>12216 I was playing that but I got distracted by Genshin Impact.

I'm in Sumeru now which seems to be based on India and there is a character called Coolie. Heh.

I'm still sad about what happened at the end of the Inazuma chapter. Listening to her themes only makes things sadder. This is her phase 2 theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TKbnQb4mOs

I found this, it has the morphology of a Tiger but it has non retractable claws. Very curious.

>>12250 Her Funreal was really cool at least

>>12255 I haven't got there yet. I am guessing it's behind the quests that I need to be Adventure Level 40 to do.

>>12305 >Storytelling on the Youtube Channel: High Quality Anime Cutscenes >Storytelling on the Casino App: Characters standing next to each other, Black Screen/White Text That Video isn`t in the game.

>>12325 I don't fully understand what the person you are quoting is trying to say but I did find this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34jc0Y4bzT0 It's the better version.

Ernst shipped 2 stacks of those new solar panels into space, angered himself that he couldn't build those new battery banks because of a missing precursor and then successfully further procrastinated on SPAAAAACE by watching his electricity chart. We dippin' breddy hard now during nights, with the furnaces being mostly electric and a not low number of advanced laser turrets and both suddenly being confronted with actual wörk. Those boss biters are especially hard nuts to split open, already catching all heavy fire during approach and then still in need of thorough roasting by a triplex of means. Then I toyed around with that stack of wood gardens that got handcrafted. Insert power and water and they'll grow a bunch of uncannily narrow trees, comes with a whole zen garden of seeds while wood could be processed into light oil with steam, still missing a harvesting method outside of bots. Took those few and placed them around the base, up north at the mines, the western refinery and most around main base with the highest polution consumed for the smallest effect, feels a little cheaty. Would have 3 other kinds of automatable air scrubbers as well, feel even more cheaty while biter attacks are just as nature intended. >>12187 Let's see how far this factory can grow :3 Gleba will probably be last due to the spoilage mechanic, what's the specialty that can be got from there, just those missile turrets? >>12238 No issue at all on spending money on a game/hobby that one likes, put down 50 bucks on Warframe for Frost Prime. But all that blinking and reminding that Asian games do on, takes me out of the immersion which I enjoy with videogames. If HUD isn't showing complex data, it might fuck right off. Gothic did it best. >>12325 Mmmmm... Travelerette soup!

Moskau reached! I'm making Germany bigger

>>12380 >what's the specialty that can be got from there Stack Inserters! BioLabs! Insect Breeding! Insect Indentured Servitude! Harvest Insect Eggs!

>>12402 "Teutonic Order" is a weird way to spell "Germany"

>>12410 It's 1542 and "Germany" doesn't exist, yet..

>>12412 Germans do, however. That said the Teutonic Order developed into Prussia

>>12414 Ironically, the name Preußen comes from the pagan Baltic people of the Prußen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Prussians

The Teutonic Order still exists today. After Prussia secularised, they went back to being a monastic order rather than a state. Their main presence now is in Austria, Czechia and South Tyrol.

>>12447 Interesting interview with the Grandmaster I watched recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl9myp-ePI4

Space soyence: slopped in. Enhanced solars: doneth. New train station to feed more aluminum after noticing that the legacy blue circuit factories only ran at half capacity since about 100 hours which is that suckers Past-Bernds from 6 months ago fault: veiny and swollen. That asshole Past-Bernd also included a nicely hidden fault in the stone feeding, which made it not spill into the sand line for again, over 100 hours. Only now after more load via blue chips AND concrete pavement happened, it VERY SPORADICALLY spelt stone into the sand lane, which had Present-Bernd bugfix the situation 3 times until he understood the issue, as he only rarely saw some isolated, baked bricks far down the main bus at the new solar productions glass lane. And finally, INFINITE nukular power: beautifully clean. Bernd is proud to have done the circuit condition on his own and it's wörking fine so far, just a nice 2x2 setup with some storage to act as a quick capacitor to really catch the power spike while charging accumulators after the night, afterwards they may run dry temporarily once solars kick in again. >>12403 Damn, all planets have something going for them. Still have to make a spaceworthy platform yet though, the research one probably better stays in place for a trickle of iron plates and science.

Genshin players go on B. But learn German.
