  oh cool, bought the game aaaages ago, seems it has received a lot of content. Probably need to check back into it :o

  Part of me wants to experience the shitshow first hand, seems like an absolute riot. Realistically tho, never happening, I’ll probably look up some gameplay video at some point.

  Both seem reasonable. The banning is (AFAIK) mostly to prevent cheaters from making made-up familymember steam -accounts, and cheating in games as them. Once one made-up family member is banned, make another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moneyless Harvest Moon-type game?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles … but with the caveats that a) it’s only PARTLY like stardew/portia/harvestmoon and b) For the life of me I can’t remember if the game had money or not.

  The game is partly farm-life-sim, but the other part is “zelda-like” adventuring and getting rid of “dark smoke thing” that does bad things to the world.

  Okay, sure, when given the fos camera, closest things to the camera are getting noticed. Duh?

  But all things considered, who cares about a single goblin toe? Im much more scarred about the thongs happening in nearby shed. Bleach please.

  But at that scale there’s always gonna be compromises. Duh. Does somebody actually expect full fidelity between 3rd person and closeups all the time? Might be showing my age but I sure don’t. What kind of madnes is that?

  Games don’t need the show everything, leave a bit to imagination. Sure visuals ate cool, but don’t let that be all there is to it.

  I know it’s a circumvention of the issue, and at times annoying, but you can add -site:reddit.com to the search to rule put a site, iirc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I the only person that feels that retro games are better?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t played many SNES games, but the ones I have have been pretty good. Fairly sure there’s quite a bit of stinkers in there too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I the only person that feels that retro games are better?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  while all of those qualities are great, they alone don’t make game great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interactive Loading Screens - High Hell⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dunno if it is good or bad, but Warframe has this loading screen where you see players’ ships and you can steer them a bit. No real point to it, but at least it’s something to do when waiting for someone to load in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: Journey⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Got to play it with someone for a bit, they seemed to know where all the neat things were (iirc, the murals, scarf lengthening thingies, etc). But due to the inability to communicate more than just “dings” I couldn’t convey that I needed a quick toilet break. They were gone after I came back, which was a bit sad but I probably wouldn’t have stayed waiting either, tbh.

  It was quite okay, I recall playing it through twice, but the second round didn’t really offer much in terms of “value” over the first. Cool visuals and concept, though.

  Other somewhat similar vibing games which I somewhat relate to Journey:

  • Sable - Somewhat similar character designs, quite a bit more scifi and some dialogue. Pretty cool 3d platformer puzzle.
  • Proteus - walking-sim, graphics are those “if atari 2600 could do 3d”. Kinda cool experience, but also kinda one-and-done.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people give videos English titles when the videos themselves are in some other language?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s probably the thing. My videos are in finnish, with quite a bit of background speech in english (long story short: they’re letsplays). Could be that the auto-transcription can’t quite parse the random mix of finnish and english. I’ve mostly seen some odd videotitles translated to finnish, and tbh, they are so wildly confusing to me. I almost skipped a video from one of my fav. creators due to the title as I wasn’t expecting it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people give videos English titles when the videos themselves are in some other language?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  (the creator may have to enable this, not sure).

  afaik not an option for creators, OR it isn’t an option for me/my videos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A very late "Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of March 31st"⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  good to hear. But, either way all my current stuff is on offline and none of my friends have the game, so moot point.

  Last Epoch

  playing offline because that’s where all my stuff is as last I checked the online was a disaster. Other than that, it’s pretty cool ARPG. Though I have some thoughts about some “gearcheck” -type bosses. After ~180h (since beta) or whatever, I’m still thinking it’s a solid 7/10. Fairly enjoyable, but not greatest of all time by any stretch.

  Content Warning

  It’s completely stupid and I love it. Essentially wannabe-“spööktubers” take a camera and few flashlights into dark, abandoned industrial complex to film something spooky, just to gain views on “Spööktube”. Views gain you money, money buys you gear.

  The dives to the industrial complex are very short too, as you can only film so much (90s max, it seems), and the monsters are hella deadly. Either the camera gets filled or everyone is dead in minutes.

  The footage can be saved as .webm -videos to desktop, which is GREAT

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some games you find yourself frequently coming back to?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Under a steel sky

  Is there a third game in the series I’m not aware of or did you mean Beneath a steel sky?
