Deffo install the Infinite Heaven mod. You can tweak so many things to improve gameplay and make it less "gamey," including what is essentially a roll-your-own sort of subsistence.

props to them for still updating a game people stopped caring about a year ago, but also lol for the same reason

Looks like it might actually be worth getting now.


On a deep sale.

in other news since pillars of eternity somehow ate my save even in this age of steam cloud saves, i started playing tyranny

it owns bones like gently caress, particularly since you can respond to probably half the interactions with [glares silently]

bronze age judge dredd basically

PoE owns and I can't wait for the second one to come out. I'd buy Tyranny but I don't really want to spend $45 on it when I heard it's not as good as PoE or made by the same team.

I'd like to play another game like PoE but I haven't played any Infinity Engine games in over 10 years and when I tried to recently I could definitely tell the games hadn't aged as well as I thought they had.

I need to find a game that I can play for short bursts without having to keep track of any type of story since I'll only be playing a few hours during the weekend when school starts.

Multiplayer FPS games have usually filled that void but I'm so burned out from the genre that I'm looking elsewhere. There's an F1 racing game coming out that I might try the demo of.

Dead Cells is pretty good for that.

I was playing earlier with a buddy when our two randoms dropped in the first round because they didn't get the top scores. Just the two of us on wargames on normal.

Three waves later, we finally get reinforcements. :shepface:

Got the java paranoia software today. Everything works, java required for 95% of the tools.
Jparanoia 1.31.1 server & client package, GM multi-tool package, PC character generator package, and the wheel of ticks flash tool.

Anyone else play total war warhammer? First time I've played it in like a year, I like the changes/additional factions. Can't wait for the second.

Pretty much since Rome 1 the total war series has been one of those games where I keep clicking next turn and when I look at the clock hours have passed

Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
I am playing it right now tbh

Trying out the new norsca dlc, and it has some neat stuff but it is the same game

you confederate norse nations by killing their leader, taking their head, declaring peace, then waving the skull around until they join you

you get a book of monsters you get to go kill for money, an item, and a renown unit of that monster type

you also choose 1 of the 4 gods for your extra lords and campaign, each do something that seem ok

but the campaign AI is still dog poo poo, a lot of the maps suck, and you steam roll easily if you win the early part of the game, so same game

NBA Live 18 demo is pretty fun and more video gamey than the 2K series.

EA is pulling the same poo poo 2K did with NFL 2K5. Between now and release day, the game is 39 bucks.

It's a good time. But I'm pretty sure I'm the only rear end in a top hat here who plays video game basketball.

The learning curve is steep. I've put in about 20 hours before the controls and tactics come somewhat natural.

Basketball is super fun though. It's cool clowning on AI defenders.

My new desktop's hardware is on the way.

Haven't built or modded a PC since 2009, but I figure 1000 Euros buys the same quality level in gaming rig today as it did back then, so I ran it past the haus of tech's building/upgrading thread and here's the result.

Ryzen 5 1600 x6 (this thing has six loving cores?)
Corsair Vengeance 2x 16GB 3200 DDR4 RAM
KFA2 GeForce GTX 1060. 6GB
MSI 350 Tomahawk (or PCmate, I don't recall) Mainboard.

This should yield reasonable levels for me to play through a whole bunch of titles I've not been able to run in good quality the past couple of years, chief among which are GTA IV and V, Fallout 4, and Skyrim in what I hope to be off-the-charts-stupid graphics.

Please also look forward to a Kraut doing stupid poo poo in front of your crosshairs in whichever flavor-of-the-month arena/freeplay shooter everyone's on soon-ish.

I used to stick to one family as well, but I read the reviews and shopped around here and there for comparisons, and while same-performance Ryzen models trail Intel models in gaming by a bit, they're also much cheaper, while outperforming in everything else, I'm pretty okay with that.
