Rarity posted:The lack of checkpointing in GTA4 is really starting to frustrate me. Mostly because while the large city is very detailed and impressive it takes ages to drive through and when I fail a mission I don't want to spend minutes doing the busywork of driving across the city to get the actual meat of the mission. Almost every gaming session now ends with me quitting out after a failed mission cause I can't be arsed to try it all over again. It was kind of interesting at least how they recorded alternate conversations that play when you're redoing the drive since I guess they knew people would be having to do them over

Can't you just call up a cab to take you back to mission starts? e: oh wait, is this about driving during the actual mission and not the drive to the mission?

DC Murderverse posted:I finished the main story of Control today and I think that Jesse Faden might be my favorite VA performance in a game. I like that you can hear her thoughts, I like every single time she awkwardly blurts out words at a FBC person like she’s never talked to a human before (because obviously a woman who has lived her life doesn’t talk to people much), and I like that she’s enthusiastic about all the absolutely insane poo poo she goes through but also yells “oh gently caress off” at the giant parallel world eyeball beast. Courtney Hope was fantastic in Control, and I love the "in-character" tour of the Remedy office that she did to promote the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIDr-rzzOdU

Rarity posted:Also this might just be me but the move to less cartoony and more realistic graphics has made everything way murkier so it's much harder to work out what the game actually wants you to do Are you playing on PC? The console versions ran at a really low resolution IIRC.

I need a little spoiler-ish help with Outer Wilds. Brittle Hollow's , er, brittle-ness is still giving me the hibbly-jibblies real bad; are the places/times it demonstrates that random, or can I at least be assured of myself in select areas?

Rarity posted:The first Stalfos fight was such a brick wall for Teen Rarity that I bounced off the game for like 6 months It's definitely one of the harder parts of the game. Especially since I hold the n64 controller very wrong and have fetus hands. I stalled on it one night and was talkin bout it at school with friends and managed to beat it after school, felt so cool. speaking of ms pacman, do you know how hard it is to sort out where her bobas and vzone are supposed to go when you're drawing a tijuana bible where she gets ghosted by blinky after sex? had another videogame tijuana bible sketched up somewhere but the ethics of it had me stall on it. Are Roll and Megaman children or adult robots? Khanstant fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Feb 7, 2021 |

That area _is_ random. Each chunk of the place has its own HP bar (visible when u slap a scout on it), there are random projectiles from the nearby projectile generator, and depending on where it hits and how frequently, diff section fall in sooner or later. Some areas naturally have lower HP and are more likely to fall in earlier, but there is no set pattern. However, you can be reasonably assured in other ways. For one thing, the penatly for fucknig up and falling isn't so bad, sometimes you might do it on purpose. Second, you can get some wild orbits and curves when you do fall off a chunk that end up landing you somewhere safe (or a deadly smack into a wall at high speed, which honestly, is so fun that it's okay) Khanstant fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Feb 7, 2021 |

Some areas naturally have lower HP and are more likely to fall in earlier, but there is no set pattern. That's surprising, since so much of the game is tied up in predictability and being able to memorize locations and routes on planets. Doesn't which parts of the planet fall affect what's accessible? The only other thing I'm aware of being random is which direction the probe cannon fires but that has no real consequences.

I spent some time exploring and I know what the penalty is now, so it's a little less daunting That being said, even knowing that, doing it still curdles my stomach enough to make me Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Feb 7, 2021 |

haveblue posted:Doesn't which parts of the planet fall affect what's accessible? Yeah, BH was one of the first places I went after exploring the heck out of the home planet and I happened to land on a certain important chunk and found myself uncovering information that wouldn't click or make sense for many more intentional discoveries. Generally though, if you go at a start of a loop, it's unlikely the particular chunk you wanted to explore will go out fast. There's a lot of filler chunks and alternate routes around once they do start falling. Ciaphas, I get you on the stomach curdling, though maybe I like the sensation more than you. It's like in a videogame when you take a giant leap or fall, that weird sinking feeling in stomache as if you were the one suddenly dropping.

Ciaphas posted:I don't mind doing this in terrestrial games - in fact it can be kinda fun, I loved doing it in FF14 just for giggles, especially in Kugane - but in space? gently caress that, gently caress that five thousand times over and every single major gravitational phenomenon out there alongside t How do you feel bout rollercoasters? I'm mostly indifferent, i don't like being knocked about and im not that into being physically pushed around at velocity. I dunno what it is though, artificially inducing that weird feeling is different. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a kind of unpleasant feeling, but something about it being fake and me being safe and just doing actual mindgames to my mind, makes me appreciate it in a weird way. p.s. - i would love to jump into a blackhole IRL, I'm scared of heights but not being into spaghetti stream of particles

Rollercoasters are fuckin' great, I haven't been on one in years and I miss them. Adding 'look for a nearby-ish theme park' to my post-pandemic list I also really want to go paragliding someday, to add further context. Brains're weird!

Rinkles posted:Nope, well not by blood anyway. Both were foster cats adopted a few years apart. Bruno was a Russian Blue because I'm allergic (they're supposed to be hypoallergic), and Wesley is some kind of mixed breed (I can't cuddle him). Can confirm about Russian Blues being hypoallergenic. It’s why our cat is a Russian Blue.
