Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:Is this new booster making people fell worse than the first one? I’ve had pretty much no side effects from the vaccine or first booster Anecdotally, my arm hurt like a bitch and I felt vaguely fever-ish the next day, but nothing that made me stay home or anything like that. This was the Pfizer bivalent booster and my second booster after the initial two-shot.

The new covid booster for me went perfectly. It was the flu shot that I got in the other arm at the same time that sucked lol.

My shoulder was also way more sore this time but I blame that on the Walgreens tech who rushed things and didn't give me a chance to relax my arm.

First shot: Asstrazenic - worst I’d felt in ten years until I got actual covid months later. Horrible chills and muscle pain/spams for two full days Second and third was just a very sore arm and tiredness. Got my fourth on thursday

I couldn't bring myself to finish Death's Door, I lost steam at some point. Didn't seem to do anything terribly new beyond its influences, it just didn't compel me. Tunic though...Tunic is special.

I watched the trailer and it looks lovely, but I never can stick with games in this genre to the end. Closest I got was that grim reaper crow game. In the trailer it shows the instruction manual a bit, are you supposed to be able to read or decipher the weird text? How are the haptics?

Rinkles posted:I played some (heavily modded) FO3 for the first time earlier this year, and I liked it. It felt even less like NV than I expected, but sometimes in a positive way. They clearly had more time to flesh out all the little dungeons in the world, and there was more of them. Something I really wish for is a NV remake in something more like the FO4 engine with all the improvements to Gamebryo and the power armor actually being really neat and feeling different from regular armor. It's such a good game but that tech hasn't aged too well and it's easy to forget how janky FO3 and NV were at the time. Also, it isn't playable on a modern console so PC or dusting off a 360 or PS3 are the only options. I just played a good 20 hours of it a few weeks ago and it's frustrating how many little bugs and scripting errors the game still has in its final official patch. Even the fan patches don't address them all. I doubt Obsidian wants to do a remake though even if MS gave them an option though.

Blind Rasputin posted:Can you tell me without too many spoilers what separates it from other isometric games like this? I watched the trailer and it looks lovely, but I never can stick with games in this genre to the end. Closest I got was that grim reaper crow game. It's tough for me to explain without spoiling except by rambling, so here's some words. The big idea is that it's like you're playing an imported game and trying to figure things out with a manual written in a language you can't read. You collect manual pages in-game and can learn a lot from studying them closely. (The manual is gorgeous and a perfect imitation of what you'd get with an SNES RPG.) There are several occasions where it reveals game mechanics you always had access to and it makes for some pleasant aha moments. Aside from learning some basic symbols, there is absolutely no gameplay reason to learn the language, it's totally optional in case you want to better understand the plot. Narrative takes the Souls storytelling approach, where you're dropped into a situation and have to progress while figuring out why you exist and what you're doing, and the answers are cool. And the second half of the game takes a sharp turn away from combat toward puzzles in a really clever way, I want to compare it to a certain well known game except it would be a big spoiler and also drive people away that I think would actually enjoy it. Its dungeons are anti-formulaic, totally different from the Zelda approach. They're generally small, fit organically into the world, and rarely culminate in a boss or upgrade. The world design actually reminds me of Souls a lot more than Zelda, more interconnected and with zones rather than discrete formulaic dungeons. And then the fit and finish of the game is lovely. It's a retro aesthetic that looks modern, like a magic rose colored glasses filter has been applied. (You can get a glimpse of what I assume is the game's "real" appearance when you bring up the manual. The screen fades into the background and takes on the appearance of low res sprites on a CRT.) I know I've said Souls a lot, and the combat has a Souls style dodge, but it's much easier and less punishing when you die. Reading that back, it's a pile of details that doesn't really get across what makes the game special. For me it comes down to the manual. It's this beautifully designed artifact that you're collecting piecemeal throughout the game, studying each page closely and often discovering significant things. Every page you find is a big deal, maybe it's a dungeon map with crucial clues, or maybe it has a juicy morsel of lore or a screenshot that reveals a game mechanic that you can exploit to great success. And then there are occasions where you realize it was hiding something revelatory right under your nose.

I was ready for it to be done, didn't bother with the post game stuff

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:Is this new booster making people fell worse than the first one? I’ve had pretty much no side effects from the vaccine or first booster I felt like absolute crap after the second shot and mostly fine after my first booster. I had this second booster and felt totally fine. Not even a little bit weird. For reference, flu vaccines don't cause me any trouble at all. I don't get arm pain or tiredness the way some people do. My wife on the other hand tends to feel kind of crappy after flu vaccines and the first booster made her feel so crappy that she's a little bit afraid of this second booster. She has to get it for work though since she's a nurse so it'll just come down to finding a weekend when she's OK to feel crap for a day or 2.

Tunic and Deaths Door are great, it’s a shame they came out at the same time. Tunic has more challenging combat but Deaths Door is a better game to me. Edit: if you hate needing to check every single blind corner for a possible door or item you won’t make it far in Tunic. It relies on this way too often.

She has to get it for work though since she's a nurse so it'll just come down to finding a weekend when she's OK to feel crap for a day or 2. Not necessarily at you, but just my experience in general, all pfizer shots First shot made me feel a bit lethargic for a day or two, second shot of the first set put me out hard for 2 days, weak, hot all over, swollen, heart pounding, headache/bodyache, chills, sweats, can't sleep in any position, wheezing. Woof. First booster wasn't that bad, mostly a lot of ache in my arm and neck tension, the result of which was a huge tension headache. Walgreens dude was standing above when he administered the shot, so it was way too high up on my arm, almost near my shoulder blade. Fail. Always ask the person giving the shot to sit down next to you if they ain't already imo Second booster bi-valent type I felt fine for 12 hours, then felt like absolute death for 12 hours, no sleep, I feel really drained the next day and my head is a bit achy/groggy, but I feel like I got off easy this time. I def had a very hot bodytemp inflammation response and some arm pain, taking a bath helped. Ideally you want to experience at least some immune/inflammation response for each shot, but I'd definitely set aside 2-3 days whenever you get it.

The level design was sparse and combat felt too stripped down in a boring way. Tunic is a much better game. Everything is more fleshed out and has more depth to it. If it weren't for the similar aesthetics, I'm not sure if they'd get compared quite as much though. BeanpolePeckerwood posted:new Plague Tale trailer, prolly contains story spoilers, dunno, I'm not watching it Yeah, I wish I hadn't. Feels like it shows a huge portion of the game's story in cliff notes. Holy cow Asobo can make some jaw-dropping environments though.

Got Deathloop free on the PS Plus subscription and does anyone know if you need to make a Bethesda account and link it up to get the multiplayer invasions happening. So far I just opened the door with the code (which I assume is the end of the tutorial?) and I can't switch out of single player mode yet. Not sure if it's because I elected not to sign up for a Bethesda account or because I haven't reached a point where it's available yet. I really like the sound of the invasion mechanic and look forward to some person randomly dropping into my game and destroying me
