Started playing Dicey Dungeons because it was on sale Chiptune EDM is excellent and keeps me pumped pretty impressed with how clever some of the game theory mechanics are I was able to figure out how to play as the robot after a few runs, but the witch is so convoluted that my brain is protesting

Probably not getting anything from Steam sale this year, as I've just grabbed a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro preorder and families chipped in to get it as my xmas present. Thinking 2024 is the year I'll be shifting fully into retro mode. Here's MGS2 running on an equivalent device https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-VXEIvGJl4&t=680s Seems a good excuse as any to finally play it

PT is still one of the most masterful bits of economical horror storytelling i think i've ever seen. it's two small areas, one high quality rigged model, and a dangling fridge, but it's still one of the scariest loving things in the medium

Steve Yun posted:Started playing Dicey Dungeons because it was on sale Almost every stage and battle theme is top shelf and as a whole is incredible. Like seriously, Fighting Chance is such a swanky battle theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGL5m0qWzWA Swing Me Another Six is so good for the buildup into straight up anime heroics-style music at around 1:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKHKaBM54IU And the final boss theme, Fortune Favors The Bold(which is already INCREDIBLY badass for a final boss track) is incredibly menacing, then the beat drops and it kicks in super hard. It's so good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1xs4CnLqBs AND there's an expansion that adds a bunch more stuff and it's all as good if not better than the original soundtrack! Chipzel cannot miss!!!!

hatty posted:I suppose you see with the recent sony leaks and see that Spider Man 2 cost 3 times what the first one took to develop and will take 7 Million copies sold at $70 to break even the price increase makes sense. but I say just make games look worse, AAA quality graphics are excessive imo price to break even has nothing to do with it videogames aren't scarce goods. it's not like they need to charge more per item when development is more expensive. there aren't marginal costs. what sellers want to do is charge whatever price they feel will get them the most total money out of the market. they charge $70 isntead of $60 because they think they'll scare less than 1/7th of their customers away with the price bump and so it'll make more money overall. it has nothing to do with rising costs. they wanted the maximum money for those other, cheaper to produce games too.

Something magical happened in the Slay the Spire thread:McGavin posted:Imagine three orbs above a Defect. Say a direct copy of the first orb is sent to the back of the line of orbs and takes the place of the third orb. The formerly third orb becomes the second, the second becomes the first, and the first is evoked. Recursion works the same way.

Played some Lethal Company with some friends. It's certainly a fun enough little game to play for a few hours but it's the most early access game I've accessed early in a while. It didn't take long for the lack of visual variety to really drag the game down. The general jankiness and bad animations and whatever that all comes with being an early access indie game is something I was able to mostly overlook but the planets don't currently look different enough or cool enough and the inside of the buildings are the exact same every single time. Hoping that is something they are working on, I really have no idea how early in development this game is

Dev has said they plan at least 6 months of early access time before release, and the recent big patch (a few weeks ago) already added some new entities to spice up runs. I would expect a little more diversity of environments by launch but that's also very probably the largest time investment as well.

Downloaded SWTOR again. I normally get an itch for it every December. One of those cozy winter games. I also enjoy just logging in and chatting Star Wars on the in-game chat. Any fans about?

WaltherFeng posted:Funding possibly organized crime is a big no no, so that's not really an option. The hospital I worked at in 2016 got ransomwared and they paid up, we had to go around to all the computers with individual many digit keys for each of them. Was wild. But they paid! I always wondered if they kept any Bitcoin. Probably not.
