Private Speech posted:That's like one of the best item descriptions around though. But yeah as you say you could get an LLM to write those but it would be a lot of effort in figuring out how to do it, so much that it's not worth it. If it's completely infeasible to write that many item descriptions maybe your game has too many items in need of description.

I want to throw out a recommendation for Card Shark, which is on sale right now for only $5.99. I thought it looked interesting on release last year and bought it since it was fairly cheap, but only just got around to playing it. I've put a few hours into it so far, and I'm really enjoying it. It's an adventure game set in 18th century France in which you play a mute serving boy who gets taken under the wing of the Comte de Saint Germain to learn how to become a con artist, mostly by cheating people at cards. The main gameplay loop works really well. You get taught a new con (which are all based on real world techniques like false shuffling, marking cards, and using signals), get a chance to practice it as much as you like, and then go into a real card game where you have to pull it off without getting caught multiple times. The cheats are fairly simple in gameplay terms but require a mix of speed, precision, and memorization to pull off. The cycle of stress and relief the game puts you through makes for a satisfying experience. It's got a great art style and soundtrack. The characters and writing are a lot of fun too. Howlongtobeat says it takes about 8 hours to beat, which seems like it's going to be a good length for the game. I'd definitely recommend it at the current sale price.

What's the verdict on Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot? Looks like a chill open world to zoom around in while listening to podcasts. Perfect for the Deck I imagine.

Black Griffon posted:How mandatory is the Stormworks DLC? Just some more fun stuff or stuff that makes the game? The first imo but it depends on what you’re playing for - I bought it after reading a bunch of random history of marine engineering books and just spent my time making boats, driving toward a mission, capsizing, fixing that, driving, engine fails, etc etc and you don’t need dlc for that but if your fun comes from doing stuff other than going “oh guess I need another meter of freeboard” you prob want it

Certain uses of ai art could be ethical and useful in a roguelike. But I don't know if we'll see something like that for a while yet.

The purpose of ML is intellectual property theft on a massive scale, with the hope of moving so fast and breaking so many things that they can set a legal precedent that their labor theft is legal. Anyone who tells you otherwise is an idiot, a bootlicker, or a liar. (Or all of the above!)

I just started Outer Wilds and I need help. Not for anything story or puzzle related, but I feel like I must be missing something about the basic controls. I tried to start unambitious but I can't even land the ship without spinning around endlessly, and trying to get around on foot + jetpack ends with bodyslamming the moon at a million miles a hour and dying. Is there any way of slowing down other than starting thrusters in the opposite direction? e: or matching velocity

On foot thrusters are just for acceleration, you don't need to, and shouldn't, hold them the entire time you're moving in a direction. There's a lot of momentum in the game. Try just tapping/pulsing them once or twice to pick up speed and then letting off. As for ship spinning uh i dont remember enough about that to know what's going on. Maybe the same momentum thing though. Also remember there's a specific landing-cam mode that lets you see straight down. Some people miss that control but it makes landing way easier.

I peeked at the store and clicked on "Take Me to the Dungeon". No age verification gate. Right away hit with full frontal anime and tentacle rape. What the gently caress? I thought graphic pornography wasn't allowed.

I just tried out the demo for En Garde and it was really fun! The game has a nice vibrant art style and the light swordplay combined with using the environment to wallsplat enemies seems promising. I could see it getting old if they don't do enough to mix it up, but for a game I hadn't even heard about until fairly recently, this seems like one to watch out for.

Beve Stuscemi posted:Is there a good beginners guide for elden ring from the perspective of someone who has never played a souls game or even watched a video on them? Or do I just go for it. A bit late and you might know it already, but: When you dodge, you are completely invulnerable for a fraction a second. Even if a weapon seems to touch you during that period, you will not take damage. (This is called iframes) Be sure to keep an eye on your equipment weight - the weight heavily impacts stuff like your dodge distance and time between dodges, so experiment till you find a weight percentage that’s comfortable. Your shield can block even huge attacks, it is more powerful than you think.
