This monster will suck you edition. 
 
I demand that we talk about monster hunter and then hunt monsters and talk about how Hunting Horn is the best weapon. 
Been playing Rise on PC and its ok. Not grabbing me as hard at the other games though but fun. I am still luke warm on the Hunting Horn changes but its not the end of the world and I like what they did with some of the other weapons. What I am pissed off about is the new silkbind skill for hunting horn just going to be the sideways recital instead of a new attack. At least its not lance. I have some grips about the game, namely that even on 4 player hunts you still take the dogs or palicos and their attack effects are so overwhelming it can be hard to see what you are doing. Supposedly there is going to be a setting to turn that down with the new update. 
The new sunbreak monsters look neat, I'll be interested in what they pull out of their ass for the final big bad monster considering the theme is western yokai, if they keep to that with the final monster. 

For oldergames I was messing around in 4U. Fun, I wish there was a farm though. I've also been meaning to give XX a go, I hear its pretty fun. 
So anons, what have you been hunting?

>what's this?
A thread for the organization and development of a VN with minor puzzle/adventure game elements starring Libbie the Cyber Oryx.  Previous thread: >>17081 (archive: https://archive.fo/9iIJW).

>what will the game be like?
A simple, short puzzle/adventure game presented like a VN and inspired by old Flash adventure/"sim" games.  We'll be working in Ren'py, and the game will mostly be slice-of-life comedy and light romance.

>you're doomed!
We have two artists, a writer, a fairly simple coding language, and a clear goal.  I think our chances are pretty good, all things considered.
Although the old thread was up for more than a year, so our pace isn't exactly blazing.

What's this all about?
Fullderp is a game where one of us declares himself the champ and takes a ragtag team of six Pokémon assembled by anons into an online competitive Pokémon battling simulator.
To quote one of Showdown's mods...
>@MacChaeger: None of these people are youtubers
>@MacChaeger: They impersonate verlis to to gain notoriety and attract new members
>@MacChaeger: These people regularly trick others into getting locked
>@MacChaeger: this is the single most toxic group of players on PS

How does it work?
After the current champ calls "new champ", the first anon to claim the title is our champ. He uses the first six legal Pokémon suggested after his claim as his team. Champ can also call "new team" when the old one became stale (rule of thumb: 40-60 minutes). Champ plays in National Dex unless specified otherwise.
Absolutely no experience is necessary and everything is done in-browser.

Rules
1. Champ can't forfeit, intentionally throw a match, or timer stall.
2. Champ may not edit a set without the suggester's permission.

What do you think the new age of fighting games will look like?

The pandemic has fundamentally drawn a line between the older generation/community of fighting game players and the newer generation who started playing/getting serious during lockdowns and only know netplay as the default (of course, most of the previous generation was the same, but that's beside the point).  How do you think this will change the face of the FGC, such as it is, in the coming years?  I think the single most prominent change is that the crybullying faggot player archetype will become even more common in the FGC than it was before - people already got upset at offline events, but online events enable them to cultivate their own neuroses to a far higher degree without being forced to interact with other people.

On the bright side, I think (or would like to believe) that fighting game developers are aware that now more than ever, they need to ship a complete product.  People are generally pissed off paying for games with small rosters, no meaningful single player content, and multiple season passes of DLC planned.  Street Fighter 6 seems poised to remind people what's fun about SF, given that it seems not to be a rushed, half finished mess like SFV was, which is good.  Games from other developers like SNK (SamSho 2019, KoFXV), ArcSys (DBFZ, GBVS, GGStri

After stuff like Petscop and I guess a resurgence of Sonic.exe/NES Godzilla it seems a fair bit of indie devs want to try their hand at this kind of "outwardly innocent looking game THAT'S ACTUALLY HAUNTED/HORROR SPOOKY WOOOO". This is a thread on these type of games if any anon has played/heard of anything and would like to talk about it.
I went through a few of them, on itch and steam, and a few through videos like Alpha Beta Gamer or ManlyBadassHero's channels but the one I want to bitch talk about is Andy's Apple Farm.

So andy is a really neat concept initially. You have this cutesy, "edutainment" looking game where you walk around and do simple minigames for your friends. You had a few neat "something's off" moments where a voice line is reversed and a sprite glitches out in a way that's believable  in the context of the game.
Unfortunately that's the end of any subtleties or nuances when it comes to the "horror" in a lot of these games, because they're very much Sonic.exe tier when it comes to the scares. 
See this is a game with a story and as such some idiot decided it's really scary for the game to completely break suspension of disbelieve and have dumb shit such as
>"cutscenes" in a completely different artistic style from the game itself. The pixel art style is different, the character design is completely different(instead of anthromorphized fruits and animals it's pixel art human beings) and the sound

It's funny that just when convenience such as larger storage capacity for discs and internet updates came along, videogames got worse.
Cartridges, CDs and early DVDs all had very limited storage. Developers back then had to really get deep into the consoles to try and fit everything they wanted. Games like RR4 and Crash Bandicoot still amaze me how good they look and how they still hold up today. Nowadays you can just drop your unoptimized piece of shit and don't care. Just compare GTA: San Andreas vs GTA IV.
Most games made today could easily fit into the original xbox if optimized well.

FEATURING: ALIEN VS. PREDATOR, TRIO THE PUNCH: NEVER FORGET ME..., AND THE PRESELECTED SURPRISE GAME, PULIRULA
Somewhere near the woods lies a gas station, neatly placed seemingly in the middle of nowhere; however, it is far from desolate. For there anons from all around gather inside a room. A room filled to the top with arcade machines. There, anons enjoy the evening drinking, calling each other faggot and just having a good old time.
>What is this?
Anons vote for some games and play them until they beat them or lose. Arcade games that don't take long to complete and reward skill. Once finished they post their score and see who did the best. They give others advice, share what they think of the game, call each other casuals, say which character they would fuck and more.
>How much time do I have to play?
One month or until winners are announced. New threads are posted at around 00:00 UTC-8 on the first Saturday of the month.
>How do I play them?
Read the text file posted with the OP.
>Where do I get them?
