i've been playing this periodically and am having a blast. i've also been watching youtube videos to both learn the game and laugh at fun hijinx. however, despite my irony poisoning being as severe and long-suffered as it is, and despite that i get that many comments by youtubers are (at least plausibly) couched in irony, the amount of casual racism packed into some of these videos is really jarring.

I think a lot of people view phobias the way some people view OCD (no offense to anyone itt), that it's like "oh yeah I totally have OCD I always have to check that I have my keys with me", but I've met people who can easily enjoy horror and have their day completely ruined by phobia. It doesn't release endorphins and create exhilaration, it's just a vice on your brain and a triggering of fight-or-flight reflexes and harmful stress. That's not exactly fun.

Verviticus posted:im curious: are there a lot of people who want to play what is essentially a horror game and get scared, but dont wanna be scared in the very specific way they would be if they saw a spider There's a difference between "oh that creeps me out" and say, one of my friends who upon seeing a spider seems to lose all ability to think or do anything except recoil and not look. That first one? They don't need the mode. That second one they need it to be able to actually play the game.

Is it just me or did the difficulty seem to be amped up this patch? There's a lot more turret spawns on the mid-tier maps now and we're seeing more dangerous monster spawns earlier. But it's mostly the turret numbers getting jacked up on tunnel maps.

Not feeling the turrets part for mid-tier maps but I did get this feeling that we were seeing threats a little earlier on average. The obscurity of it all makes me wonder if it's just my own paranoia.

Still new to this game, but it seems the low tier maps have gotten easier after the update. Had a run the other night where we barely saw any monsters for a good 5 days in a row. Got over confident as a result and dipped our toes into one of the mid tiers, only to get attacked immediately at the main entrance.

Definitely appears as if sentries spawn more often - saw as many in the first three quotas of the current run as we had in all our sessions prior combined. I think it's due to higher hazard levels seeming to be more frequent. I always run mission control but we left an apparatus behind as night fell so I volunteered to try for it. Giants had already started spawning and I just barely made it back to the ship on time and with a giant right next to the ship. Had to dodge a herd of baboon hawks too.

I got copies of this for my friends because gently caress, I really wanted to play it and they probably would've waffled on it for eternity. Turns out, game good! I kinda wish the planets weren't always the same exterior, I guess it makes sense since they're supposed to be the same planet you're landing on but I figured those landing zones would be randomized as well as the interior. That said, I did appreciate it when we landed on a foggy day and we were able to feel our way to the front door.

my only gripe now is that the jester seems to be a day killer once it shows up. even the ghost girl can be played around, but the jester kind of makes it impossible to keep looking for loot once he's followed somebody to the entrance, especially on mansion maps where you can't get somebody on terminal to try and lock it in a dead end

He resets after 30 seconds so you can just go to the fire exit instead.

Ideally I'd find some community where there was zero casual sexism but I think statistically that's probably pretty rare? I haven't really interacted with strangers in games for decades so I dunno

played with a friend who didnt know the new update's features yet, he was playing mission control and told us to spin in circles if we wanted to be teleported found the mask in the mansion entrance hall and decided to put it on so the Creature would start spinning uncontrollably the inevitable happened 10/10 way to be a dick exactly once

PM me for the invite. id be down but im assuming youre american which means time zones wont work which sucks because my first time trying to play a game i found a good group of pubbies, then added them to steam and played again with them a few nights ago, but just spent twenty minutes trying to join random lobbies tonight with no luck. "error occured (sic)" and even after checking for latest windows/graphics drivers, checking game file integrity, restarting my pc, installing the mod thing and mod compatibility checker etc, still no luck. shame, its fun when it works

So is there a way to fix the voice chat delay effect they added in one of the recent updates? It makes it harder to hear people ingame, which is fine, but that combined with this horrible feature where spectators get audio effects of the area the spectated person is in applied to their voice... It's impossible to hear anyone else spectating. These features are nearly game ruining for me.

I've played this a few times with my friends. We're very bad, but it's fun. We lucked out and are on the 4th quota on our current game (we can only play for a couple hours at a time so we just saved when someone had to leave). I'm thinking of getting the "teleporter" for our next play session, since we have enough money for it now. Sounds really useful. We tried having someone use the monitor for the first time last time we played, and it was very helpful. Granted, that's largely because I think all of us (and especially me) have a terrible sense of direction. But just being told "there's loot in this direction" or "there are enemies in this direction" is helpful. For whatever reason, the horror elements to this game don't phase me at all, despite me generally being terrible with all other horror games/media. I have no problem with just boldly wandering into the darkness.

The teleporter is fantastic just for getting bodies back, saving you a ton of cash. Also means you don't have to choose between an axel and a body if your buddy dies at the entrance with you. 10/10.

Yeah just recovering bodies makes the teleporter worth it and it's also great for saving a teammate who got facehugged when they're not near a door or a buddy with a shovel.Ytlaya posted:We tried having someone use the monitor for the first time last time we played, and it was very helpful.

Just spend all your money every quota, then ignoring bodies costs you nothing!

Teleporters are an investment assuming you will end up with a bunch of spare cash in the future and thus recovering bodies is pretty important. The actual gain in saving people isn't used nearly as much as just saving bodies from my experience which is a shame given how you can do things like a person to distract things far away from people to then seal behind doors and recover the crewmate.

I've been regularly playing LC a few times a week since the start of December with friends and this game just keeps on giving, I can't wait to see what's coming next from the dev Also, the modding community for this game is incredible and sharing modpacks from load order to config file settings is so loving easy with thunderstore, drop in a code or file and everything is automatically downloaded and set up If anyone feels like taking a chill modpack for a spin use this code 018d4d84-b00c-40d0-f35b-70f5a40115d6 with the thunderstore mod manager the goal of the modpack was to add extra content and features that still feel in line with the spirit of the game (and some just added because they're funny, like loot bugs being able to items they're holding) the mods in the pictures below are optional client side things so you don't need them but the rest all need to be on

I've been playing on my friend's server and having a great time. He has like 40 mods so I'm not sure what all is doing what, but we always end up doing dance parties after a successful run, with a bunch of extra dance emotes and the more than 4 player mod and a boombox mod that you can upload YouTube audio to. A useful one is having the walkie-talkie audio be audible for people standing nearby, since by default it isn't. An evil one is adding mimic fire doors so you aren't ever confident when you find one if it will lead outside or swallow you whole. Mission control can help identify them, but in a panic, you just hope for the best. Do people generally get shovels and go aggro on stuff? We tend not to for whatever reason, something about being basically unarmed helps with the disempowerment feeling.

Someone said you could hit the door and it would make a growl sound if it was a mimic, so it seems there is at least a way to test it in the field.
