how is queen's wish? i fell off avadon about halfway through but have been meaning to go back. also been meaning to do geneforge mutagen as a shaper (played the og as agent)

wildermyth is incredible but i do find the tactics lacking, id love a sequel that iterates on the narrative stuff and replaces the tactics with something better

yeah no worries. i have a few spiderweb games but i always slide off, maybe i should give one of the newer ones a go. shadowrun is fun too although i find the combat often frustrating, idk why

queens wish is old mans spiderweb software. it’s still clearly a jeff vogel game but it’s designed to be playable in 20 minute bursts

other than that the big new thing is he added some base building stuff and most of your good gear comes from your base’s craftsmen building stuff for you rather than from loot

overall it’s not as good as your avernums or your geneforges but it’s still a good game and I’ll play the 2nd for sure

avadon is his weakest game imo. he tried to make it more of a straightforward hack and slash rpg style game and that’s just not the reason you play spiderweb games. that said it was still a decent game and i played it all the way through but i shant be replaying it or playing the 2nd

i think redbeard used the geneforge tho so there’s a tie in there

yeah i can only really enjoy sr with like one of two builds that make combat less of a hassle. the setting/characters for df/hk are fun tho.

i feel like the dev learns a lot from his old games in (re)making, so newer ones are usually worth a shot

I respect him for trying new things but yeah some of those are swing and a miss (or partial hit). avadon really felt streamlined for iOS when i tried it

didn't know that about redbeard that's neat

fair enough. for qw i really like the idea of base-building yielding best gear rather than hunting for class-specific/optimal loot in specific hidden places

that sucks, you should give the pc version a go when/if it goes cheap, it's honestly my favourite of froms soulsy style games

you know about games design right? what's honestly the difference between dodging and parrying? both have a window you have to press a button and if you fail you take damage at the most basic level but failing a parry feels much worse

I got the sekiro plat on ps4 and while the parrying may be more annoying it’s definitely possible to learn it

the real problem is the red icon popup, I would always dodge for that and that’s correct only 1/3 of the time

I started playing Stellaris last night at 1:30, got a pretty decent and friendly empire going with five or six colonies and great relations with my neighbours. got up to get another drink and use the toilet and the sun was up and the birds were chirping

debating between playing more tonight or uninstalling so that doesn’t happen again

my girlfriend made the conscious decision to get into video games and asked for a bunch of suggestions from me. i was mostly offering easy, low impact games to get started with because it takes a little bit to get into the groove of how video games even work. so she played about an hour of goose game and then decided she was ready. want to know what she chose? as her first real game to play? despite me telling her it may be a *bit* difficult?

and she hasn’t let the game defeat her either. after about eight hours she finally managed to beat hornet. she laughed and cried simultaneously lol. i think she ‘gets’ video games now

stellaris is the game that feels more like work than anything else ive played, they should pay me to play that thing. And Im mad about it cause i played it for a few minutes and immediately hated it and tried to return it but they said i’d played for 12 hours already which is clearly bullshit.

i haven't played stellaris but rimworld was kinda that way. not full on _job_ but it was more a way to make time blink out of existence than a fun game i enjoyed playing. in the year of progress 2023 the last thing i need is to make hours disappear while only being mildly amused

I was having a blast playing tbh. I usually only lose time when I’m having fun and am invested in it.

I think what makes it easy to lose track of time, though, is that similar to dorfs, there’s no built in pauses like the fps games I normally play have.

“ope I died, might as well grab a drink and pee oh crap it’s 3:30 I should go to bed”

“ok I could use another drink and I really gotta pee so I’ll pause and HOLY poo poo ITS 5a… ok I’ll wrap up what I was doing and head to bed.

ok well poo poo, how is it 6 already?”
