but actually, i had this game for way longer than it was on steam. i reminisce about installing some really great mods like slowing time, that one mod with the really op guys in black and orange and generally other stuff and the best map of all time

Spoiler:

TRAIN LEVEL

i used to have the demo of this way way way back and would go on the forums for it and scrounge for mods. had like a gig of just mods and manually changed every vanilla faction item/entity to cost 0 dollars so i could just play the demo like a sandbox. was a great way to kill time, i actually might still have my old demo build on an ancient USB somewhere

The grey white and orange robot guys were the most op

I don't give a fuck if it's a practical build

May as well go all in and put pack hounds in place of the beam laser as well

I suppose you modded them for max capacity, didn't you?

Implying I didn't take them straight to the res the instant I had them fitted

butyeah that's what I'm gonna do when I get around to it

do it before the next patch hits (unless it already did, I'm not really playing anymore) because apparently getting stuff to tier 5 will be even more grindy.

And put the mod that converts kinetic damage to thermal on a couple of them so shields won't be a problem without the laser

started playing tf2 again

i am apparently a god tier engineer because i watched an uncle dane video on how to place dispensers once

Recently been playing Wayward Terran Frontier: Zero Falls, which fittingly abbreviates to WTF:ZF.

Here's my so far very incomplete, but functional ship design.

How strongly would you recommend it? Looks really interesting

If you want to try it, search the /vg/ archives for /egg/, somebody put up a version on Mega (CTRL-F ***).
It's early access, so far from perfect, but still pretty fun.

Also, my autism cruiser is all but done. Optimisation and then that's it.

Fore section: Mid section: Aft section:

Pssst... WTF was originally penned as a ss13 spin off.


I remember when the dude was on the baygames forums asking for testers, see it was originally planned to be a multiplayer game with the players taking the parts of crewmen going around doing damage control and stuff like Barotrauma.

GTA5

Soon: Far Cry 5

After finally unlocking Smart Launch in WTF:ZF I must admit that the most beautiful sight I've ever seen is that of missiles aligning on target before their boosters ignite.

It's just like in The Expanse!

Also, I've overhauled my missile dick to be prettier and more effective in combat after almost always running out of energy because my guns didn't have buffer capacitors wired between themselves and the main plasma lines.

triple post because i've been playing this game for hours god help me


what did she mean by this

i guess it isn't really a game but i got a steam link to use in my townhouse next year and holy fuck

i genuinely do not understand how this works so well

the lag is near imperceptible and i can play shit like a first person shooter with no discernible input delay or issues with visuals

how the fucking shit does this work?????

Compression algorithms and high frequency wifi.

Man I thought I was going to lose this badly but the shitty animals drew most of the enemy mage's fire.

You know what I really, really fucking hate in any real-time game that has melee takedowns?
Enemies firing into melee combat. It would be somewhat tolerable (and hilarious) if they could hit and hurt their buddies, you know, the ones you're giving Mortal Kombat lessons to, but usually these games follow the logic of "it's called friendly fire because it doesn't apply to enemies".

reminder that rainworld's lizzers are cute
deadly, but cute

now playing star dreck: starfleet command
guess the race

i finally beat the flagship in FTL after like 4 years
on easy

someone didn't cheese cloak, teleporters, hacking modules or had the luck of finding two vulcans

i was zoltan B with a laser thing, 2 ion burst 1s, and an ion blast 1, so basically i would shit out a volley of 6 ion shots per 10 seconds then pick at them with my laser. i had max stealth and an augment that let me fire from stealth without draining it. and i had nearly 50% evasion, a defense drone, and tier 3 shields and an attack drone. so basically i just kept their shields down and the laser and drone would deal damage, meanwhile they can't land shit on me thanks to the zoltan shield and drone, when they did it would miss half the time, and failing that unless it was a missile it would get shielded. and every so often i can just turn invincible for 15 seconds. it was pretty stacked.

Been rocking out with Stellaris, although I still lack the Apocalypse pack. The Iron Blooms are a technocratic society, dedicated the making ALL the robots, and eventually turning themselves into robots. So far my closest neighbors are: Fanatical Spiritual Authoritarians (First on the chopping block) Fanatical Pacifist Xenophobes (I've surrounded them, so they are contained) and a Spiritualist Fallen Empire. I am not looking forward to my eventual synthetic evolution. Those assholes will just keep hitting the "Humiliate or WAR" button for the next forty, fifty years until my fleets are up to snuff. Hoping I get the Contingency end game crisis, I've gotten War in Heaven like, five times now. I'm tired of curb stomping the retirement homes!

The AI uses cloaks the worst way, which is just cloaking immediately and cloaking again the instant the cooldown is over. Sure, you'll stop their weapons charging while you're cloaked but the pro cloak strat is to wait until they fire their missiles and mash the cloak key before they actually hit, so you get to waste their entire weapon charge and delay their next shot by 15 seconds

I mean considering the flagship never dealt even a single point of damage to me i don't think it mattered that much

Just play Feddie cruiser tbh

Rock ship B with teleporter, a fire bomb, a fire beam, and two burst Mk2s to drop shields. Just teleport into the various gun control rooms, while dropping bombs and fire lines all over the ship, casually strolling through the burning wreckage of the enemy flagship wrecking shit. Feels good man.

Still trying to find the crystal homeworld :/

xxxcom2 ufopoo defense (the enema within).

a dump in the dark

Okay realtalk (although I am playing xcom2) hows fortnite, I still dont know if I should look into getting it or not. Is it just battle royale shit plus polish or what?

Played Finding Paradise, the sequel to To The Moon

It was beautiful. I was really impressed with how well the new themes worked and how it touches on completely different points.

Lame jokes and general dorkishness still abounds, but they make pretty decent breaks from all the tearjerking drama

Get good dirty boy

the only way to get good in a game mostly based on rng is to cheat

That is 100$ not true. There are people who can regularity beat the game on hard with the bad ships, it is mostly about getting good at risk management, knowing what stratagies work, and when to run away. There is certainly a degree of luck involved but to claim it is all luck is absurd

the way I play the game is predetermined
losing crew forces a restart for me
shitty rng forces a restart for me
anything looking like it might go bad forces a restart for me because I can't look at game over screens

Been playing more FTL since my win and have a 3 run win streak now (and something like I think 6 wins total). I finally got gud, feels great.

DemonFiren wrote:the only way to get good in a game mostly based on rng is to cheat

The ONLY RNG that can actually cuck you are the following
1. Shops literally do not sell any weapons and you never get any from drops, meaning you simply do not have the means to damage the flagship when the time comes (uncommon, especially if you hoard scrap and go to shops whenever possible)
2. You're playing a gimmick ship like stealth cruiser or engi B and get hit in a bad system within your first 10 jumps (especially if it procs a fire/breach).

If you want to drastically increase your win rate, BUY A HACKING BAY. Shit's straight up OP
>deletes any shields
>pierces shields
>cant be evaded
ANY weapon loadout that can deal damage instantly becomes viable against any level of shields if you get a hacking bay. Not to mention that it locks down doors to the hacked room, and the flagship has its shields bay conveniently placed adjacent to its piloting bay and missile launcher bay (meaning that the flagship crew will have a MUCH harder time repairing those systems).

I know overpowered shit, and I know it works.
Thing is I am running a gimmick ship, and I am achievement-grinding, and I am extremely fucking frustrated.

So I started getting into Guild Wars 2 cause I bought it ages ago and it scratches my MMO itch without costing me a subscription.

Now I might be buying the 2 expansions I'm missing... oh well.

Should I focus my autism on learning nethack or elona+? Which is better and why?
