Ok so no last of us tonight. The stupid water guy needs someone at the house at 8am to turn the water on so I gotta get up at 6:30 to make it over there. Does anyone have a good suggestion for shelves to display nerdy poo poo in an office? I kinda don’t want to just use a boring bookshelf.

not sure on the shelf tip, but are you looking for a case or more just ... shelves? wife has politely asked me to hold off on buying the steam deck so we can get a ps5 for her maternity leave, so if any eu goons get wind of new bundles or price drops or even stock let me know.

Get little glass rockball glasses and some Submersible LEDs, then you can put your dice on display in the little cups and underlight them.

prayer group posted:i'm doing a second playthrough of Disco Elysium. a hacked run, with sixes in all stats so i can see almost all the dialogue from my skills. putting most of my skill points into the thought cabinet, heading for the communist vision quest, getting basically completely different conversations out of every character i talk to despite playing it mostly the same as my first playthrough. unbelievable game. put 20 in all stats, which I think is the max, you coward. there are actually some early on checks that are weird and high enough that I don't think you'd ever hit them naturally.

i did get a bunch of pretty crazy early checks, yeah. i had a 2 in FYS on my first playthrough so i was surprised to learn how early Shivers starts talking to you. the "where the hood at" dialogue is probably one of my favorite moments in any video game. it's also cool how if you start a new playthrough with knowledge of what's actually going on, all the options where you unwittingly stumble upon the correct answers have a fun little aura of spookiness around them. Inland Empire already knew everything, i'm convinced.

So you have the good option, the chaotic option, etc. It does weird things to the writing. absolutely (except blackwater). Blackwater can get hosed. I agree with you about the dialog too

I remember the first time I picked it up I bothered to make a few bows, assuming that the point would be to sell crafted stuff that people needed. You know, work with the town, build up relationships through trading and crafting and have fun. Then I saw that a crafted bow was worth way less than the cost of crafting and value of the supplies and that the game really was just going to be selling bundles of sticks, baskets of bolts and balls of slime to people for set prices in a shop system that would be bad for a phone game  . Tried it again in case I was being unfair and bounced off again. Just a bummer, I'd love a more modern Recettear.

Playing Wasteland 2 Directors Cut. Was curious how the game changed cause I remember beating the original Wasteland 2 when it came out of Early Access and it was barebones as gently caress.

Has anyone played much Triangle Strategy? Been looking for a Fire Emblem game to play since 3H didn't really do it for me and engage looks a bit too otome fanservicey for my taste (nothing wrong with that, just not really what I'm into) Also thanks for making this thread, I really liked chatting with everyone here even if i didn't post much

Yeah Triangle Strategy was great. I really wasn't expecting to love it because I bounced off Octopath Traveler, but it really grabbed me and was one of my favorite games from last year. It's got a refreshingly grounded story for its genre, with satisfying gameplay (I really liked how every character was completely unique with their own niche) and some cool mechanics for taking different routes through the story based on persuading your friends to take one path or another. Incidentally if you didn't love 3H, you might like Engage more than you're expecting, unless the aesthetics are just too off-putting for you. The story is generally pretty light and breezy but the social sim stuff is really toned down from 3H and the map design and combat is a huge improvement.

Original FFT was plagued by speed supremacy and it was even worse in LUCT where classes like terror knight were completely unusable

Terror Knights got a much-needed buff and are actually good this time around. They're the ideal can opener to take a heavy-armored enemy and just nuke their defenses into nothing. After LUCT I'm glad they're actually usable

yeah the between battles stuff in engage can take like 5-10 minutes tops compared to the hours you'd spend in 3h. its closer to the base stuff in fates if you played that.

Yeah I don't know if it's really comparable. TriStrat has a ton of stuff between battles but it's all story stuff and not base management, relationship values, or things like that. And if you like a relatively grounded story about politics, trade, and resource disputes, you'll probably really like the stuff going on between TriStrat's battles. I really loved both it and Engage so I don't think you can go wrong either way. Triangle Strategy does have a demo but fair warning, the first couple chapters are definitely the slowest-paced and that's what the demo shows. If you play the demo and like it, though, you'll probably adore the full game.
