Anything to do with the Zone.
Don't just stand there, come in.

I looked in the catalog and there wasn't anything, and it's sdalger so there should be.

Some standalone mods (free):
https://www.moddb.com/mods/lost-alpha (1.4005 DC was the most fun imo)
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly (This one is really good but the crafting is extremely autistic. I suggest using the game settings to tweak the economy and skipping the crafting entirely.)
https://www.moddb.com/mods/doctorx-call-of-the-zone (This is neat in a SLIGE map sort of way with generated quests and a freeplay style. The main modder behind this died a while ago. RIP in pepperoni diet sausage.)

Anomaly's Chernobyl Relay Chat was pretty based for a while, but the trannies had found it last time I looked.

Here's one I keep doing, but there's no real way of preventing it except for games having good UI: I'll spend a chunk of time perfecting my controls and binds, all before accidentally hitting the big 'Default' button set right next to the button I need to press to assign a key, exit the menu, or save my settings. Wipes all my progress, I usually forget all the subtle changes when desperately trying to set them again, and dying or making a fatal mistake is the result of panicking when my controls don't do what I remember from muscle memory during crucial moments.
>>295869 (OP) 
Autistically spending an elaborate amount of time min-maxing my non-unique gear and subtle upgrades / making shrewd trading deals to get the maximum amount of money, before realizing I'm playing a game which auto-inflates difficulty and economy based on your level and amount of money. Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, and Crusader Kings is notorious for this, out of many.

Reading every book and doing every conversation tree (even ones I don't care about or am doing in a New Game Plus / 2nd playthrough) in case there's a hidden achievement, perk, permanent bonus, or dialogue option which your character remembers for you 20 hours later.

Carefully-placed headshots, yet the game's ballistics aren't realistic so the bullets cartoonishly drop or veer off (unmodded STALKER and Fallout 3+).
>>308446
Maybe you could try randomly selecting what classes you allow yourself to use, stick with only those classes for the whole game, and then look up if there is anything missable for just those classes. And you almost certainly can't spoil how to solve bosses, unless you just so happen to roll the best builds. Because who writes guides for people not using the best builds lol.

Nowadays I randomly choose what class/skill tree to stick with when playing a new RPG. Even if I roll a suboptimal choice. Ironically suffering through min/maxing the suboptimal choice can for me end up feeling stronger than getting to the point of the game that unlocks the best builds. Because the fresh best builds are at that point still weaker in both stats, and my experience with them, than the suboptimal that I have been struggling with since the beginning of the game.
>>295869 (OP) 
Every time I play Chrono Trigger, I end up chain-grinding the Nu in 65,000,000 BC until I max out everyone's techs the moment I unlock The End of Time. Sometimes I also go for broke and immediately buy all the weapons (and maybe armor too) in Medina Village immediately, even though the prices are jacked up 10x, because it'll take you several story arcs to unlock loot that good later. I also usually buy the Lode Sword at the start of the game with a bit of grinding, because it's the best sword for the first 3 arcs of the game.

Yes, the game is easy and I made it excessively easier. I have powergaming tendencies.

The franchise about exotic fantasy animal control; where you can take an oversized weapon (and a large attack-ladybug if you're French) with your untrustworthy bipedal cat-slave to get mauled by a biologically reasonable fire-breathing tyrannnosaur to the tune of an obscure early 1900's symphonic reference, cuz the cute girl at the reception desk asked nicely and daddy could do with a new fur hat helmet with tacked-on scales (they make it more water resistant).

Mark nuked the thread on 8moe.

How many people here still carry a torch for moe console-tans in wacky JRPG plotlines? Yes, they (and Compile Heart) are still around. In fact, they're getting a new mainline after a whole fucking decade since VII.

https://www.compileheart.com/neptune/unlimited/

Problem is, uh, it looks kinda lame. The redesigns are all clearly designed to minimize the ero appeal (censorship), and the turn-based JRPG combat has been scrapped in favor of simplified action-based "press A to awesome" combat. But hey, at least you can fly now. All in all, it feels more like Nepshin Impact now than a proper mainline Neptunia game, especially when Sisters vs Sisters and Game;Maker had this exact same style of gameplay and we were told they were just spinoffs.
The main four CPUs we've all come to love are now getting upstaged by new goddesses who represent the current gen of consoles while making it seem like the old ones have retired. I for one would have vastly preferred they just made them new forms. The Candidates have been "promoted" to advisors to the new CPUs despite how ridiculous the idea of someone like Rom and Ram having any influence in government is. The plotline is apparently based on Neptune timelooping to prevent some major catastrophe that comes from space.

In other words, do exactly what Mary Skelter Finale ended up doing with its True End or, unless it's something as cucked as that one sex minigame from God of War where the the characters aren't even visible while you're doing it (all you get are sound cues), rest assured that everyone but the otakus would oppose the game so fiercely they'd label it pedoshit, fair game and cancel it immediately. Best case, the game would be confined to the same distribution channels as doujin games with its AO/refused classification rating, which would mean no consoles, and that's where the majority of Compile Heart's sales are coming from.
Compa's other franchises could use some dating sim elements, though. Affection system in HDN PP was a breath of fresh air. I'd pay full price (and then some) for a game that would give me a drama CD-like experiences with all of the Neps, let alone marrying them.

I don't know how in the world you got the idea of them pandering to women or ironic weebs at all, those are literally the two groups MOST likely to pitch a bitchfit over them.
>it always seemed like the coward's way to crank up fanservice without applying effort and invariably the wrong kind of skeezy
It's a way to be able to lewd the heroines without compromising their "purity", something important if you want otakus to get attached to the characters, because how much do you really care about a girl whose sole purpose in the story is to be a whore who gets fucked in half a dozen different holes? The way I try and put it is that ecchi allows lewd and maidenhood to coexist by putting the heroines in "embarrassing" situations where both their femininity and their innocence is put on display. You may call this a mere half-measure, but as a connoisseur of moe and bishoujo games, I value this aspect.
Put in a more layman's way, I like seeing cutelewd anime girls interact with each other and save the world while still being sexy, not Goblin NTR Giga Rape Simulator: Maiden's End edition. If I reach for an H-game, it's going to be something more wholesomelewd like

You must've misunderstood me. I was making my point on why a full-bore sex minigame, as suggested by the anon above >>308374 is not only not going to happen but is also extremely undesirable due to the consequences it'll bring.

New magazine spread + (crudely) AI-translated English version.
Evidently they're trying to bring back the create-a-Processor system from the original Victory, but in a degraded form that only lets you change color.
Part of me wonders if this is in lieu of a Processor equipment system like we used to have. SvS and GMRE did not let you change processors and it's likely that this will be the same, there's just going to be one unified processor set for all characters. This would also mean you can forget about them adding the old processor outfits as DLC let alone anything like Black Sister's Next-Gen Cradle.

For whichever anon who got scolded over posting their artfagging progress over in the /agdg/ thread, this one's UUUU. Post ITT about whatever tutorial course you've been following, models you've tackled on or interesting resources you've been reading about modeling or texturing. Whichever program it is, whether free or paid cracked, whatever goes.
Lately I've been wondering about the possibility of specialized character software to entirely replace models made by scratch, for example something like MakeHuman for simple realistic people, VRoid Studio for weeb models or God forbid Daz 3D. Perhaps MakeHuman wouldn't appeal to actual professionals, but VRoid Studio on the right hands seems to be more than capable to produce very apt weeb models with half the effort. Granted every character starts from the same template body, but the workflow on hair/clothes/texturing that would be done generally by modeling/sculpting/image editing has been incredibly streamlined, excluding the fact most pro modelers already have a template of sorts of their making to not have to work on any character from scratch.
Excuse me for the lack of resources or good link, something should go here if I knew what.

Templates, either borrowed from others or personal ones, have existed since long and are repurposed/used-as-is by most hobbyists/professionals. Picture's faggot is still going to need to retopo, tinker with the mesh, rig it to a skeleton, weight painting, some more tedious bullshit; arriving to a seemingly finished mesh inside the editor is still a long way to a usable model, specially considering the AI's been fed template models either bundled with model editors or lifted from marketplaces.
Making yourself your own template from scratch then repurposing it for every whore you intend to create still seems like a valid workflow, and it's not as if most sculpting suites aren't already bundled with some voodoo magic that does the heavy lifting. Zremesher is some scary shit.

Any fellow Elona players here? As a Kumiromi-worshipping farmer, I'm still having a lot of fun with the OOMSEST version. I've got autosaves disabled so I can savescum from time to time, but I try not to abuse it too much.
I was lucky enough to get the ridiculously good stomach mutation that lets me eat non-food items, helping me free up a lot of item space and develop my attributes and abilities frequently. Not to mention it helps me save money and keep corpses too.
Tailoring is some pretty good stress relief. The quality of the robes I craft is random, and whenever I get one I don't want to keep, I can eat it or sell it.
Anyway, I'm preparing myself for the upcoming annual "Baby Day", a.k.a. Party Day event on July 24. In case you didn't know, that's when shitloads of Bards spawn in "Party Time" quest instances and you can go on a Bard-killing spree all day long to collect tons of valuable instrument items, music tickets and more.

Played caves of Qud again since it came out in 1.0 a while back. Doing a longblade tinker build and we are off to a good start. Found 3 easy baetyls that want things like leather boots and gloves and already have a floating glowstone. Doing a single weapon artifex build with rifle thrown in. It's been so long since I played I forgot to break down scrap for bits and wondered why I was lugging like 60 pounds of trash around. The rusted archway sucked for cybernetics and also had no credit wedge but beyond that it seems to be a pretty good start.

One of the very first story quests has a character casually offer you your own loli slave. Sseth himself makes a joke about it. I'm thinking that you'd have to be a special kind of dense if this is the update that makes you slap the side of your head and go

What'ya think?

Gameplay looks strange, but might be satisfying.
The gameplay looks similar to Dead Space without the horror element.
The combat is basically a modern JRPG, but with guns.
Reminds me of Ys, but slow paced.
It might be interesting.
Graphics look nice.
The style reminds me of Mirror's Edge.
English VAs sounds obnoxious.
Diana is cute.
You build a home base with her.
No official release date other than "2026"

I think it might be fun.

Isn't that the plot to Kemono Friends? If so how come this blockbuster production sounds lame compared to the former?

No, kemono friends are created using a mcmuffin dust on real animals
Pragmata used a mcmuffin dust to create a loli from scratch
