I bought Stardew Valley because I'm going through a depression (yeah I know, goon cliché) and I need something that'll keep me at least a little distracted from my thoughts without being too tiring. Is it me or is farming not the best way to make money? The crops take ages to grow, fishing seems much faster. I guess it's a scale thing.

Early on fishing is definitely easy money, but eventually farming and livestock will far surpass it

Some crops (melons) are absolutely insane cash cows when they get going. Fishing is good early game but falls off once those money-makers come rolling in

Year 1 spring crops are very meh, but you'll want to maintain a garden of sorts to understand what farming is in the game to be ready for summer. You can aim to grow to knock out the community center spring crops but that's kind of guide dang it for spring year 1 depending how much you rush the intro of the center to find out what crops.

Glad I picked it up during the last sale, and also that I haven't started it yet! I got dragged away from posting at the end of February but I'm back, and I'm going to fill in those last three platformer reviews I didn't get to this week. But I had to take a look at the Weeklong Deals too, which have a good mix of horror, sims, shooters, and a few of the platformers I recently covered. Here's my list of recommendations, if you need any.

basically pc gaming adjacent: what is a decent inexpensive bluetooth headset? i've been using a wired headset with my phone for a while and love it but might as well prepare for not having a 3.5mm plug anymore

Shadow225 posted:basically pc gaming adjacent: what is a decent inexpensive bluetooth headset? i've been using a wired headset with my phone for a while and love it but might as well prepare for not having a 3.5mm plug anymore rule of thumb is headsets are horrible all around. it's another vector for somethingto break (and they do easily), usually made cheaper, and often a sacrifice of audio and voice quality. you're better off getting high-quality bluetooth headphones with a stand microphone like a black-friday deal yeti; or a clip-on bluetooth microphone that clap to your collar or something. it's wireless, but not bluetooth but look into the HyperX Cloud https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077ZGRY9V/ as an option as well Xaris fucked around with this message at 22:41 on Mar 9, 2020 |

I like the Steel Series arctis 3, especially because it can be wired into one audio source (like my switch) and Bluetooth to another (like my phone or PC) So I can use discord while playing console games. It's also only like 50$ which is a huge plus for me because I have no 💰

Yeah, I've been reading this berry thing in a few different places. Seems that blueberries sell for less than melons, but you can harvest them multiple times, and turn them into jelly. My plan so far is to plant all the berries, turn them into jelly, and make $$$.

I recommend reading up on what is available in the way of cheap True Wireless earphones these days. I recently bought some for under 50$ that last for up to five hours and come with a little charging box that is good for four to five recharges when full. It's not ideal for gaming, but for conventional phone use? They're great. Much less of a bother than a headset and depending on what you get, the audio quality is more than decent.

So on a whim I installed Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered Edition, and just, gently caress me. 11 years and this game is still the drat gold standard of open world action games. So much goddamn fun. Install a MOAB on a truck, slap a bunch of remote charges on it, floor it through the gates of some EDF compound and plow right through the building wall, haul rear end outta there, hit the detonator button and watch the whole loving thing blow sky high. It never gets less satisfying. I love this loving game. Signed: Space rear end in a top hat, in a truck, flying off a ridge.

Fifteen of Many posted:Borderlands 1 question: my wife and I recently started a coop run and are dying a lot. Are there any beginner mistakes we may be making or general advice? We’re doing all the side quests we find but still find ourselves having to suicide run bosses or badasses. 1) Weapon affinity (or whatever it's called) is a trap. Don't pigeonhole yourself into specific weapon types just for the sake of the passive level ups. Even if your class has skills for a particular weapon, still branch out a bit because loot can be streaky and you're splitting it between two people. 2) All elemental weapons are good. As soon as you can start replacing basic guns with elemental ones things will pick up a bit. You might think "shooting this naked badass with an electric gun is pointless because he has no shield" but in actuality lightning suffers no penalty for off-type; you're still getting extra damage either way. Explosive weapons are universally good against everything. The only malus you really need to worry about is using fire against shields. That said, it can be difficult to parse how elemental stuff works in BL1. Best advice I have there is to find something with good base damage and then the higher the elemental multiplier on the top left of the item card the better. 3) Not all classes are equal. There are some really wonky progressive curves with the skill trees and some archetypes just kinda suck. Like I would avoid Brick entirely if you're not used to how the game works. Beyond that, stuff skill points into 1, maybe 2 skills at a time and focus on one tree specifically - those capstone skills are critical to get ASAP. On the plus side, respecs are cheap and always available. 4) Some early quests aren't balanced properly and even their listed level range lies to you. If you're struggling/already struggled against the big Skag lair section or against Scar that's unfortunately business as usual. 5) Co-op scaling in general can be a bit busted. It won't be as noticeable with only two players, but there are still some rough spots. Particularly boss fights. 6) Always be checking the vending machines, especially the gun ones. BL1 vending machines can be very generous with what they generate and you can often find incredible weapons just waiting to be bought rather than found.

Any Double Anarchy SMG will last you for as long as you care to go, as long as you get close enough to actually hit with it. Lilith's Phasewalk helps for that. Use whatever kind of guns you want, it only matters for specific skills. My co-op buddy played a pistol/sniper(/punching) Brick and it worked just fine.

PC gaming: going through the work of making an older game work, installing the new patches, fiddling so they all work, getting in and starting a new game, aaaaand it crashes as I'm reading the emails in-game.  Apparently in the years since I last did this, Jagged Alliance 2 stopped working on windows 10 and needs even more fiddling and I am way too tired for this. I'll leave the mess installed for now and fix it later.

Oh don't get me wrong, I never leave my hammer behind, that thing is just entirely too satisfying to not have along. And the drat thing is so iconic too, it would be like Gordon Freeman without his crowbar. My loadout is always, ALWAYS hammer + remote charges, which are my bread and butter tools, + whatever two I'm in the mood for or in need of for a specific purpose (nano rifle for gunships, etc). The actual firearms are what I use the least, mainly when I'm doing a hostage rescue and need to get to the hostages on upper floors without wrecking the building around me.  EDIT: I love the ending of the Space rear end in a top hat video, after the song ends. It's just such a great demonstration of the building destruction physics. Also I already got flattened by a random piece of falling debris once. It's like coming home.

I like Saint's Row too, but it's a different kind of sandbox.
