people should consider playing it.

There are builds and skills and gear to find and the atmosphere is sick and the gameplay is fun

Yeah, it's a good game. :)

And that's credits on Void Bastards, fun as hell game I highly recommend. A bit like Hades in how your kit all improves big time the more ship runs you complete regardless of how often you die, so misjudging something and eating poo poo doesn't feel so bad.

Ship variety wasn't terribly expansive but it's not really a long enough game for that to really wear thin, instead I spent most of the time on repeat layouts enjoying the fact that I already knew where everything was because that's also the time where you have the tools and knowledge to sprint around the place like Doomguy.

Boarded one ship with Zecs, then never boarded another ship with Zecs again. I could kill them somewhat reliably but not without taking half my health in damage and before you've killed one there's 4 more right behind you and the one you almost killed is now stuck in a wall spamming rockets at you. NO THANKS!

I regret sleeping on the Rivet gun for so long, but when I came across a ship that was literally just a big box of ammo for it I thought "hmm, game seems to want me to use this" and hooo boy

it has a mode called 'filmmaker mode' which turns off all the bullshit and warms the image up back to a natural whitepoint

it's called filmmaker mode because film makers bitched and whined and now most TVs have an option to just show the image exactly as the signal coming off the bluray/streaming service actually describes and not juicing it up

I know a producer who just won big at Tribeca and when I was at her house to watch a preview cut I asked if I could turn all the bullshit off on her TV and she said 'why I paid for that bullshit leave the bullshit on, why would I not let the TV optimize everything' and so we watched her thing in a simulated 60fps with 8000k white point and sharpening etc

I would rather come over and they have confederate flags up

you spend thousands and thousands of dollars mastering the color on a film, the cinematographer worked hard on getting a specific look and vibe and the TV goes 'no trust me they want it at 60fps and very bright, sharp, and blue'

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

sorry but tvs have to look like poo poo by default because it wows the mouthbreathers walking past them at costco and helps move units

Onto Into the Breach and I can already tell I'm probably not smart enough to do well at this, but it lets you gently caress up a lot before it swings the scythe, even if those fuckups hang like a lead weight around your neck going forward

its pretty easy once you understand it. you can make it about as hard as you want it to be but the default experience you can probably win within your first 10 runs if you rush the ending after 1-2 islands

Ben Nerevarine posted:

thinking about Plok! reminded me of Trog! for the NES, but I couldn’t remember the exact name, just that it had cartoonish cavemen in it, so I googled “nes caveman games” and not only is Trog! one of several caveman games for the NES, but there was a game for it called Caveman Games

the more you know

play Trog!



Oh hey, I played this. It's an arcade port apparently. Basically Pac-Man but you're a dinosaur who becomes a T-Rex to eat the cavemen.

A Bag of Milk posted:

Trog rocks. Good simultaneous couch coop where you gotta work together to defeat the cavemen but its also a race to finish first. Some neat stage gimmicks as the cavemen begin inventing fire, the wheel, etc

I never realised that was going on with the stage gimmicks but makes sense.

i have been trying to play some Wasteland 2 but once again I've burnt out on it. Haven't even made it to the mad monks yet which is the furthest i've been in the game..

Should I just give up and move onto Wasteland 3 or will I be glad I finished 2 first?

I played a significant chunk of 3 and never felt like I was missing context from 2
