Fruits of the sea posted:There’s actually a bunch of differently angled attacks in Morrowind but the devs had that option default to off because players didn’t like it I meant Dark and Darker with that.  My favorite thing about the various Morrowind attacks is that sometimes they make no sense. Why yes the best attack type for this axe is stabbing.

Deceive Inc. is an extraction shooter that doesn't have those meta mechanics like buying loadouts or punishing your account for dying so you can absolutely afford to just say gently caress It We Ball in that game.

One thing you can do in DI is use the prop hunt gadget to disguise yourself as a toilet. And if you're queued up in a team, you can have three people disguised as toilets, then go patrolling the map gliding menacingly at the other players. And you can very possibly have a weird Mexican standoff because everyone knows the three toilets out by the hors d'oeuvres in the ballroom are enemy spies, but if you take a shot at them you break disguise and reveal your own position, opening you up to getting third partied. The world's most awkward gala. You can also, if you successfully identify another player separated out from their team, corner them in a room or office by glaring at them menacingly. Disguised as toilets.

What actually ends up happening is other people see "oh poo poo people in disguise must be players" and immediately start trying to ambush and shoot at them without thought, even if it will almost always result in the ambushers getting killed instantly

Like players who are overly cautious or caught out, or a player that was already tailing another unrelated mark who both happen to stumble upon Toilet Squad. Or another team that notices what you're doing and is kinda into it. And a match in DI is short enough you can totally just decide to do a dumb gimmick for a few tries before getting back to business.

This looks cool, but is also reminding me vaguely of Worlds Adrift, which makes me sad. Still ought to see if Black Skylands' final version is going to be good, according to the devs it's supposed to be done for good some time this summer. EDIT: Oh, duh, it's because Bossa Studios WAS the studio that made Worlds Adrift. Well, we'll see how that turns out with a smaller scale.

That Starship Troopers game is really good except that there is really only one planet and two modes, so not a lot of variety, still really fun to play. It's 16 player co-op in case people didn't know, and it gets pretty intense, especially when trying to extract, good fun, price is right.

I mostly haven’t gone in on Deceive Inc yet because I have fond memories of things like The Ship which started out really cool and then quickly devolved into “Get a fire axe and throw it at your targets face as fast as possible from across the room.” Also I’m old and tired.

Technically yes up until the package does its automated auto-ping. Which exists because otherwise catching the package carrier would be almost kind of impossible.

Hwurmp posted:PowerWash Simulator offers all the joys of real power washing with none of the messy clean-up or torturous going-outside On all the gaming podcasts I listen to, I got the impression Hardspace: Shipbreaker got kinda passed over in lieu of Power Wash Simulator. I personally loving loved Hardspace. It felt therapeutic, methodical, and was a fine podcast game. The only shame was there wasn't and won't be more of it. Sounded really mod-unfriendly too; devs saying the physics work they had to do to make the game manageable for most PCs/consoles was quite limiting.

Hardspace is a great game because it's just tense enough to be exciting while also being methodical enough to be relaxing to play. It's like defusing a bomb at the start and then just carving wide swaths of material off at the end. It does suffer a bit from the early game being less interesting than the later game because it's much safer, but it doesn't take that long to get to the harder stuff. I mostly burned out on it a lot because I played it so much during the early access where every update brought out a progress reset, so I spent a *lot* of time in that early game.

Yeah ... I had it early access but checked out early. Got into it in a big way once it was 1.0. I do feel it's a game I would go back to or play over. But I really really wish there was just more. The credits cite real life shipbreakers as inspiration with some imagery to go with it.

Power Wash Simulator is pretty good, but IMO it only becomes transcendent with gyro controls. I'll sit in my office chair with the Steam Deck and just gently rotate back and forth, sweeping it around like an actual washer wand. It's really pleasant.

The new Starship Troopers game is actually getting pretty good reviews on steam. I guess the systems really work out in motion? For 25 bucks I'll probably pick it up.
