People vape indoors like it's somehow so much better than cigarettes. Just vapin' away in the loving line at the grocery store. I hope they all choke on their vape juice somehow

Someone said that it's probably being held off so it doesn't cannibalize Arms, and I think that's sadly the case. So I imagine if we get it next year it won't even be til the later half of the year

Is there a way to see Overwatch's player count? I imagine it's probably comparable but you can't see it via Steam's thing for obvious reasons.

It's fascinating to me that PUBG is so popular. Not a single video of the game or anyone telling me about it makes it sound any different from the other games like it, yet it's hugely popular. What sets it apart from the other games like this?

I never understood why people get so mad at someone being bad at a video game.

I get frustrated watching someone be bad at platformer games I've played, but on the other hand, I haven't played Cuphead so for all I know the controls could just feel like dogshit and that guy just couldn't make the moves work for him.

It did escalate from "haha look at this guy failing at platforming" to "I want to actually murder this guy" really quickly though.

Also related TB of course went on an Old Man Yelling At Cloud rant about it which somehow relates to the left calling the right nazis??

Life is Strange had a very beautiful central relationship that could be guided to be more romantic, although this is probably 100% nominal as Kiss Chloe was like a 96% decision point.

The other option is Warren who lol I don't loving think so. I ignored his advances at every chance I got and made the science experiment blow up inhis face. I also cold shouldered him completely when you have the choice near the end to kiss or hug him

Thanks, the worst part was just the week and a half without power, it was weakened quite a bit by the time it got to us. It's been hot AF

It does make me want to buy a portable charging thing that I can plug my Switch into tho. The system is basically perfect but I had to wait until I had access to an outlet to charge it.

The wolfenstein 2 hype will turn to sour goon griping when it has more stealth sections in it like the first but i'll be like :getout:

I don't remember a lot of stealth sections in the first one?

And honestly the big shoot out parts where you just fought waves of enemies weren't even close to the strongest parts of the game. Like to me probably the weakest part of the game is the bridge section. The less actiony parts of Wolfenstein were REALLY REALLY good

yeah all that stuff is in the game, the space stage is the part that people tend to like the most.

IDK I replayed spore a couple months ago and its fine, people talk it up like its the worst poo poo ever but it never really was. its just a kinda shallow minigame collection with a few interesting ideas that weren't executed particularly well

I hated Spore because it starts off awesome but then halfway through the game it becomes a lovely genre that I hate (RTS games barf).

I bought a nice vape (spent around ~100) about a year ago and it's been a great investment. Easy clean-up, fast charging, better for my lungs. I'd recommend.

I saw a guy with a vape in a grocery store the other day who walked right by two people and puffed out a bunch of vape smoke or w/e and it flew all into their faces and they just looked at this guy like :wtf:, and there's a guy at my local one who is a regular who always vapes in line waiting to pay for his groceries and blows his gross vape poo poo everywhere so in conclusion I hope vaping gets banned or super restricted in the same way cigarettes are inside.

The fact that PUBG has an explicit rule against anyone ever working together unless you're specifically playing a team mode is something I didn't even know until 30 minutes ago, but is the perfect example of what I meant when I said it seems such a flat and sterile experience.

Wait is that really true lol

I feel like I keep hearing about all this weird unnecessary policing of things that the PUBG devs do and it feels weirdly strict for no good reason? Like that stream sniping issue that recently came up, it's like well it's your game and it's your right to do that but... really?

Also the thing with Fortnite where they are considering taking "further action" legally against the Fortnite devs is :rolleyes: Like sure okay maybe the Fortnite devs shouldn't be namedropping PUBG in their marketing but not a single thing about PUBG is original to you so don't even act like Fortnite is stealing your game idea

.....Now Lorne I'm looking at this chart @10:20 and I'm really interested to know...

Y'know kinda interested...what exactly are these upper-tiers of the Oddworld Population Control Structure going to look like? Like how do you personify a Globalist Banker?

I skipped ahead in the video to a part where they're talking about the new character designs they're able to do now with this new game. The new characters for Abe's race are cool but WOW the Glukkons! They're so varied and interesting looking while still obviously all being part of the same race. That poo poo is so cool. Loving those designs. They also focus a lot on the eyes which is always super important and it really shows

The logo needs to be better tho

edit: I really need to see gameplay cause man is the description of it killing my interest. Sometimes it sounds like he's describing an RTS, sometimes it sounds like it's like the original game only with crafting for some terrible reason

Trying to play PUBG with friends and my game is running like absolute dogshit. Tried fiddling with the settings and it's not fixing it. Suggestions? The loading screen takes forever. Huge lag spikes, game locking up in vehicles, etc. I know it's early access but my friends are able to run it fine and my computer should be more than capable of handling this game

What up September 29th birthday bro! :hfive:

Btw re: Cuphead: The platforming segments are COMPLETELY optional, and seem to just be a way to A) 100% the game and B) get extra coins if you want. I beat the garden boss, and it was pretty easy. I then went to the slime boss and it's... not going as easy lol. I feel like the game is gonna get super difficult pretty quickly. The game is 100% about learning the patters and that's gonna probably require dying over and over on the bosses to learn their moves

edit: This game REALLY needs health bars for the bosses though

As expected, the platforming sections are not designed well at all. There's no real level design, it's just a bunch of enemies thrown at you with seemingly very little though put into it. The bosses though are designed great
