Tathas,

Plus, male characters can urinate more easily, so we can save 10 seconds here and there. That’ll really add up over the campaign.

Tathas,

I used to call these sort of games “Bird-chirpers”

Cause you’d start playing and then it would suddenly be morning, and birds would be chirping.

Tathas,

Pshtt, not until he dies of dysentery once or twice.

Tathas,

Valheim is literally a flat planet. You can drive a boat or swim off the edge.

Tathas,

It looks kinda like one but the East and West sides are waterfalls.

Tathas,

The email I got from Steam notifying it was available says:

The Day Before offers players a uniquely reimagined journey into a post-apocalyptic open-world MMO survival set in the present day on the US East Coast following a deadly pandemic.

So it still says it’s an MMO.

Tathas,

These days, roguelite tends to mean “A procedural game where you initiate a run that has a start and an end, but then has meta currencies of some kind that you spend in-between runs that affect future runs.”

So in Against the Storm you start a run, and you’re in a fresh environment that depends upon where in the overworld map you chose to start. This portion of the game play is a city builder like Banished or Timberborn or whatnot. You follow the game loop to instruct units to gather raw resources. Spend those construct buildings and allocate units to generate other resources within those buildings. Deal with events that come up. Have a goal that signifies completion of the run, and a hurry up clock of some kind that forces you to get to an end, and then either succeed or fail. Based on how you did, you have meta currency awarded that you can use to purchase unlocks that can allow for new gameplay options or make you stronger so as to be able to play on a higher difficulty, which results in higher meta currency awards.

Tathas,

Are you sure? I thought microtransactions were the core component of successful games these days.

Tathas,

Depending on which of my friends are around:

World War Z
Payday 3
DarkTide

Or with my kids:

Minecraft
Monster Hunter World/Rise
Terraria
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare

Gonna try out the Enshrouded Steam Next demo this week.

Tathas,

With a controller I need invertY or I can’t do anything right.

No invert with a mouse though, unless I’m playing a flying game.

Tathas,

One of the earliest 3D games I remember playing was Falcon 3.0, haha.

Tathas,

What confusion? I’d say it was a pretty clear policy.

Tathas,

Look at this guy trying to play 2 games.

Shit, I know someone who had to purchase an extra SSD just to dedicate it to Call of Duty.

Tathas,

If you like power wash simulator, you might also like Hard space: Shipbreaker. The gameplay is different, of course, but it’s a similar general play of having a task and working at it. Just this one is in zero-G.
