Help Im Alive posted:Why doesn't someone invent a device that lets you play video games in your sleep A lot of my dreams, even when not lucid, follow video game rules or plot. I recall one I had that was lucid, seemed to last several days, and was basically a cross between Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill. Man that dream was amazing, 10/10 DOTY

Wow, ok so after a couple of levels in Ninja Gaiden of all your standard old-age Japanese flair I'm suddenly fighting in an airship against the cops and also there's a big fat guy there in mecharmour. This is not the game I was expecting it to be!

Cowcaster posted:after 32 years on this planet most of which has been spent having to get up early for school/work/et. al. i only just discovered this year one weird trick for waking up (dentists hate it!): set your alarm half an hour earlier and when it goes off turn on every light in your bedroom. half an hour of soaking in the light gets my brain firing enough that i actually can roll out of bed at the appropriate time instead of just 5 more minutes syndrome This is a good idea and I'm going to try it. We have Hue lights so I could even connect the alarm to it.

I played Tyranny during the free weekend, spent about 2 hours in the character/history creator, and decided that every RPG with an overly long prologue should let me act it out in CYOA fashion. Also for real every RPG should have an in-game wiki lookup for all their proper nouns. Years of RPGs later all the made up words have run together so don't ask me what game had fonons or Hermes Trismegistus systems whatever

Sup goons. I'm trying to decide between two games and I'd appreciate some input. Forza Horizon 4 or Black Ops 4. Yep, I'm aware that these two games couldn't be more different, but there is one common element between them, which is that my $60 is only going to one of them. I love both racers and shooters, so I'm actually more interested in meta stuff like which title is more polished and is of generally higher quality, how much content there is in each game, what the progress systems feel like, which one is the best example of what it's trying to be... stuff like that. Any ideas?

intercept wasn't added so much in a re-release as much as part of the first dlc pack, and wasn't so much nerfed as literally removed in all re-releases because it was so broken

If you like COD, Blops4 is the best one in a while and has a battle royale mode that is popular. No real single player other than some challenge and character intro stuff though. Forza Horizon 4 has no problems that I know of. It's just more Forza Horizon for people who are fans of the series.

The Moon Monster posted:I find Tyranny intriguing, but after PoE just didn't click for me whatsoever I'm waiting to see it on deep discount before picking it up. I have learned from trying to play through PoE multiple times that I just prefer the turn-based combat of D:OS for my retro CRPG's to the Infinity Engine-style pause-and-click. The D:OS series also just has a more focused combat system overall and a little more comedic relief compared to the more grim PoE.

Accordion Man posted:Same reason Pilllars of Eternity 2 sold so bad that Obsidian got bought by Microsoft despite it being a fantastic game, the world is cruel and unfair. Obsidian has been pretty poo poo at marketing themselves. I would hope they fair a little better with that under Microsoft. I didn't see anything about POE 2 until it was out.

Sleep is good but tbh if I could somehow do something to permanently get rid of my ability to dream, I'd take it because god drat, no amount of good dream is worth the nightmares and night terrors. I already know my attempts to go lucid have fallen through so there's no luck there. My attempts at lucid dreaming either end in me waking up once I realize it is a dream or me being convinced it is a dream but the dream doesn't care and doesn't let me have lucidity or it tricks me into thinking I'm not dreaming by acting realistic for just long enough to evade any of the standard lucidity checks.

MMF Freeway posted:How does it know when you're REMing? It bases it off average REM cycle times which is closer to 40 minutes than an hour. Extremely good for power naps, ime it prevents the grogginess of setting like an hour.

Try a Fitbit. They can do sleep tracking for REM, deep, light, and awake periods in the whole night. Been a big help for me to regulate habits.

I use Sleepyti.me for figuring out when I should wake up if I want to go to bed at a certain time. The REM cycle grogginess thing definitely isn't pseudoscience (for those skeptics out there), it really does work like that. It takes me waaaay longer to fall asleep than the site suggest but in general it's helpful for scheduling how long I have till I need to go to bed to get good quality sleep.

MGS3 doesn't show you the title card until the theme song video after the entire Virtuous Mission is over iirc, and that's an hour and a half or so if you spend time talking to people on the radio.

Insomnia is a legit thing but also sometimes if it's taking you forever to fall asleep, it means you're just not ready to sleep yet and you might as well get up and do something But also OTC sleeping pills really do work, in my experience 2 of those things (or a couple Tylenol PM) will knock one right the eff out Edit: melatonin is bad and VERY bad if you take it nightly

Top 3 2018: 1: God of War because it manages to improve in every way possible upon what I consider to already be a great series 2: Spiderman because web slinging is incredible and the combat is finally good 3: Celeste because it's a loving baller 2D platformer that came out of nowhere

God of War and Celeste are both strong arguments that there is such a thing as a perfect game

Bloodborne wins GOTY for the third consecutive year in a row, but God of War is the best game that came out in 2018 in my opinion. I loved every minute of that video game.

I tried melatonin once and it worked, but it left me feeling basically hung over the next morning so I haven't tried it again.
