One of them Carpenter nerd types.

Terraria. An old friend popped up to ask me if I’d like to play and it’s been many updates ago and at least a decade since I last played. We are playing both calamity and Fargo souls mods mashed together and having a hell of a time with the extreme difficulty as we work through the boss fights.
Not to mention our life schedules work out to 2 hours a day.
A new Mario, Zelda, metroid is what ninten does? Well, I suppose the article is technically correct. Shame the company is a dinosaur with draconian beliefs.
I finally started doing story missions in dragons dogma 2. I’m level 60 and just started quests in the first main city.
I don’t think I played anything over the past week. I’ve been thinking about trying some fresh builds in nova drift, which is in it’s final steps to full release.
I remembered that I played dragons dogma 2, as I also did last night and there is something inherently wrong with the later parts in that game. I’m wandering through the desert sections of the map, clearing everything as I go, and I’ve flat out lost pawns while just walking on major paths. They get stuck running into a cliff face somewhere and no commands or anything else will tell them to knock it off. I literally have to go to them, pick them up, and move them away from the wall. I must have missed one of them getting this stuck as she simply despawned completely instead of teleporting back to the group. I have been besieged by roaming groups of what might as well be orcs only to look at the minimal and realize my front men are somewhere 100m back. It’s so incredibly frustrating.
And as soon as RiF announced it wasn’t going to be able to continue, I moved here.
I don’t recall ever seeing ads on reddit, and I know exactly why. On Mobile, RiF barely had ads, and desktop was all adblocked.
Though they were often the topic of crank posts, specifically the Christian ones around the atheism sub.
It’s a hell of a thing to realize the one time women have the rights they should have is when they are expressly considered “the merchandise”.
I think I’ve seen this sign before… If I’m not mistaken it’s basically in every single strip club.
And then hilariously I happen across this article today about a free unreal 5 version of fable some fan has made. From the looks it seems like a prettying up of the original, but might not have changed much if anything about the gameplay.
After spending a bit of time back on the original, I can say that the camera controls are just naturally janky, though it is significantly worse on the anniversary edition and it might be due to something as simple as the increased aspect ratio.
There was some random video on YouTube about the original fable and I had the urge to play it again. At some point had received the anniversary edition on steam so I loaded it up. 30 minutes and a bit of motion sickness later I uninstalled it and went hunting for my actual original disk. Found it, installed it, and the options and controls are so much better… It’s amazing that they ported the Xbox version for the anniversary edition and didn’t bother to include things like mouse sensitivity, smoothing, acceleration, or really any pc specific options.
The main issue is that the camera seems to be connected to more than just character location, it seems to also be connected to orientation of some part of the character, like the hip. Combat is jittery as all hell, movement isn’t pleasant, and everything else hardly matters… I will be playing the original.
D-pad for precision, analog for thereabouts.
Or in monster hunter, d-pad for camera with index finger, analog for movement with thumb, embrace claw until everything cramps.
I would hope that most people who have seen much of anything about industrial ranching would have a hard time not showing a bit of empathy.
Some descriptions of hell aren’t as upsetting as seeing how those animals are kept and handled.
I thought about playing a lot of things. I spent about 2 hours in helldivers 2 and that was about it for the week.
I had seen it noted on the tracker itself… but it also doesn’t seem very unique or useful overall.
In no particular order:
Half minute hero: quirky, quick, hilarious, and a bit stressful at times. It’s a perfect mobile title.
Disgaea: infinitely scaling/playable strategy rpg. You can power through the game pretty quickly, or take your time and slowly become a god so strong that even friendly healing spells miss you.
Patapon (2 and 3): rhythm based game about using drum commands to get your little dudes to complete missions.
Dj max (any/all):dance dance revolution for your thumbs. Korean game featuring Korean artists. One of my favorite continuing series.
Monster hunter (freedom through portable 3rd): action rpg all about them boss fights. Kill monsters, use their parts to hunt tougher monsters in a game all about incremental progression, inventory management, and learning movement patterns to git gud.
Patchwork hero: do you like the dig dug stages where you slice off bits of the land to drop enemies into the water? This is that except they are airships and you must defend your homeland
Lumines (1 and 2): musical game about matching colors and making combos in a tetris-esque style game. The devs went on to make tetris effect.
Cladun 2: so I heard you like action rpgs, infinite scaling, pixel art, and enough grindy systems that even my power tools get jealous. Enter Cladun.
I’m wondering if I missed any I spent a disproportionate amount of time on… But these were the first ones to pop into my head.
Edit: I am finally home so I can look over my games… and I definitely forgot a couple.
LOCO ROCO! It’s a very simple platformer in which you guide your little dudes through stages by using the L and R to tilt the stage. You collect fruits to increase your dude into a larger dude, or several dudes, depending on the situation.
N+ Be a platforming Ninja, die a lot… like a lot a lot. It’s… simple and hard and so satisfying to clear one set of 4 stages at a time. You can even make your own stages if you’re feeling up to the challenge.
It’s good to see those who are willing to vote with their wallets. I’m still very much playing helldivers 2. The matchmaking was recently broken and will likely be fixed before the mid week, though it certainly hurt those who just tried it out.
Matchmaking being down means I have to coordinate with the folks I know who are also playing. Thankfully for me, I have plenty of options.
Helldivers 2 was the only game I played this past week.
It clearly has a few major issues, but I’m having a ball, even when the defense mission types are completely busted and the game seemingly isn’t satisfied until it hits the cap for enemies and maintains it.
After three and a half years of semi professional use, my ryobi impact driver has a lot of play in the shaft making it rather difficult to use and it can no longer do heavy jobs. But for the price, 3.5 years was worth it.
Plus I like obnoxious green as a color.
