But most of all, you cheated BABA

I am hyped for Cook Serve Delicious 2 coming out this month, and Shadowhand (maybe??? maybe it'll be delayed again!) and I'm also hyped for the Fallen London dude doing a kickstarter for a new standalone game.

God, this year is good for games

i signed up for origin access out of curiosity, so now i'm playing things i've been interested in buut always given a pass before due to bad rap on the forums like dragon age inquisition and simcity 2013. also, fifa. there's also a bunuch of new-ish shooters on there along with some indie stuff, so i'll probably keep the sub going for a couple of months

How are they though? Any good?

If you're going to present the player with a task that can be failed, then pull the interactivity out of it at the last second in order to achieve a dramatic effect, you should be making movies, not video games.

which one was that? the mission i quit saints row 2 on was... man, what was it? i think it was some kind of bank robbery, or hi-rise invasion? and then you had to get away on a helicopter. but after barely making it to the helipad, some guys on the roof brought out rocket launchers and shot me down. it started me at the beginning of the survival section and i was willing to retry it, but then the game crashed (windows 7 dass why)

Hey this looks pretty neat. I've never heard of it.

Bonus: it's free.

AND on Steam!?

It's clever, has a fun setting, and there's a little grinding but it makes up for that by being cool instead. I liked to play it in my bed after hours as a short bedtime story for myself. There's another earlier game by the same dev that's working looking at too!

What game is this? I picked up a book on writing IF and now I'm hungry for everything new.

It's HIGH END CUSTOMIZABLE SAUNA EXPERIENCE by porpentine - you can find a lot of her games here!

I highly recommend their angelical understanding (it's devastating), Cyberqueen, and Begscape.

If you want the fancy bundled downloadable versions of her games, get it here for five bucks. An impulse purchase of it the other day really made me happy as it comes with notes, a viewing guide, and it's just so nice to have them in a single place. Good stuff.

Bonus short twine rec: https://twitter.com/ghoulnoise/status/904203180644474880

This lady wrote and drew a cool short experience about nightmares she has. I love it a lot!

Double bonus twine mention: LOCALHOST wherein you talk AIs into dying, maybe. I haven't yet gathered up the courage to pick this up as it looks beautiful and devastating.

I just found a game-breaking bug in Four-Sided Fantasy and arghhghghghhhhhh this puzzle game is short I want to beat it I don't want to repeat half a world to beat it!

e: Okay, apparently waiting for a while will make it reset the puzzle, but also: argh. I can't figure out the timing of this jump. :mad:

Aha. I was trying to solve the puzzle the wrong way.

Four-Sided Fantasy complete! Feels good to get a game off my backlog~

e2: Why does a puzzle game have a NG+ mode

quote:

Hi Jim,
The new game+ mode is just a different way to view the mechanic - the camera follows the player at all times rather than staying in place when the screen wrap is on. It doesn't change the actual functionality or any puzzles, it's just something that I wanted to do after creating the end of the game (the very last level uses similar tech to new game+)

.... Huh. Okay, dev.

What's been everyone's biggest surprise this year that they enjoyed? For me it was Friday the 13th: The Game.

Battle Brothers.... wait I also played Hitman 2016 this year. Gods it's been a busy year. Those two games took 50+ hours from me apiece and I love them dearly and I know they weren't on my radar last year at all.

Cats are the Dark Souls of pets.

because while cats are difficult to grasp at first and they can kill you, with repeated practice and learning their behaviors you can get to a point where you can comfortably coexist with the cat and enjoy its presence

I now have 75 hours in Euro Truck Simulator 2, and I'm reflecting on how glad I am that I got it. This game has been really good for podcast listening, zoning out, and for yesterday, just playing so I could have something simple and rewarding to focus on while I calmed down from an anxiety attack.

Game is good.
