I’ve really liked my time with Signalis. It does some neat stuff with it switching between the top down sections and first person puzzles/segments.

It has a VR version and I’m pretty sure if I tried it I’d run into a wall in a panic a few times at least.

Your character doesn’t speak per say, so you usually are limited to gestures for interacting with other players.

The stone refers to a series of items thatve been around since dark souls 1 where you drop a magic stone and a voice comes out saying the line. In dark souls 1 and some others it was a rock you dropped and it broke open making sound, so the “stone” term stuck.

In elden ring it’s called a “prattling pate: ‘voice line here’”. Your character blows into it like a flute kinda and the line is spoken.

Basically the guy showed up, said “damn ur fashion is on point” then left :)

Send me your steam friend code, as far as I can tell I can invite any steam friend, with no limits on numbers. Dunno how long the playtest is running, but they usually do half the day live, and half with matchmaking shut down for patching stuff.

Yeah, gaylord_fartmaster let me know. I thought the message was one of those “scroll down and click agree on this eula” things but its just a pop up box, so it’s def not enforceable.

So apparently they had a bit asking players to not share info about the game, but you could technically back out of it without agreeing so legally they can post whatever they want. It feels like a case of “this is legal to do but maybe kinda shitty and valve might be upset”. Basically the agreement was informal and not enforceable and the verge just said fuck it. They did get banned afterwards, but I think that and not working with them in the future is all valve can do.

Edit: didn’t even require agreement, so honestly it’s kinda fair game. I was a bit hostile calling it shitty, I felt like it was a loophole or something but it’s more Valve just saying “hey pls don’t” and the verge replying “no thanks”, and eating the game ban since that’s all valve can really do.

It’s not like I make or save a lot of money from it, but as a hobby it’s been amazingly fun. Getting into basic 3D modeling has been really cool too, nothing quite hits like making something entirely unique and designed for a specific purpose, then watching your printer just crank it out in a day or two and your imagined thing is all the sudden real.

I’m sure other hobbies can do that too, but for me it was a really awesome feeling :)

I remember a chip clip model, but I can’t for the life of me find it >.<

That and just printing parts where multiple colors don’t matter.

I played this with some friends. I’d say if you want to try it, get it on sale and mod it. Mods add a bunch of stuff like balance changes, new skills, etc.

Just be aware what the shortcomings are and understand that the devs have a history of overpromising and under delivering. If you like the game as is, nice. If you’re buying for future features then you do so at what I consider great risk.

Oh nice! I gotta go back and play that again, they added a bunch of epilogue stuff since I ran through the first time :)

Yep, shadow of the erdtree :) I’ve been big on invading since Dark Souls 1 and I found that the fog catacombs are a delight to invade in.

• Long zone with few checkpoints
• Lots of traps
• Elevators :D
• Imps that do bleed so moghs great rune is decent
• Marika’s stakes so I don’t feel toooooo bad murdering people right before they reach the boss lol.

Love those cannon imps. Such a goofy enemy, and such a good enemy for invaders. Anything that does aoe and knockback is my bff in invasions.

Hypocrisy: saying one thing and doing the opposite.

“We should go vote and make a positive change” Proceeds to vote to try to make a positive change.

“We should do a full on head cutting French revolution!” Complains on the internet about how people suck and doesn’t do a revolution.

Hmm…

Damn, good thing two wrongs make a right huh? What was that quote about an eye for an eye? Makes the whole world get a mild rash? I don’t recall.

Yeah I see 19 journals as well. Must be a typo.

I really enjoyed black mesa, they added some new stuff to the zen areas if I remember right.

Wouldn’t want informed consumers would we? >.<

It’s honestly fine vanilla, but quality of life wise for ME1, I liked the mod that gave the mako (ground vehicle) infinite boost, and infinite sprinting for all 3.

Good. I may not like Russia for a lot of reasons, but nothing justifies this sort of shit.

I think it’s also worth keeping in mind that some people use AI to generate “real sounding” content for clicks, or for scams, rather than making actual decent content. I’d argue humans making shitty content is going to be on a much worse scale as AI helps automate it. The other thing is I worry AI can’t as easily tell human or AI made bullshit from decent content. I may know the top 2 google results are AI gen clickbait, but whatever is scraping content en masse may not bother to differentiate. So it might become an exponential issue.

Wow. Fuck Nintendo. I own 2 switches and ToTK. Of course I emulate it, so I don’t have to play at 20fps. And I can mod the game. Not buying another nintendo product again. I’m done. I’ll just pirate it since it seems I don’t own it anyways. Can’t play it where I want, how I want, so why play by the rules at all.
