>Advice on building or upgrading
Post your build list or current specifications, including a monitor: https://pcpartpicker.com/
Provide specific use cases (like playing vidya, editing or programming).
Specify your budget and region.
Think twice before deciding to buy something to avoid buyer's remorse.
>Motherboards
At least one PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot.
Good VRM (power delivery) is required for CPUs like the i5 13500 and above.
Don't pair a K CPU with a B mobo chipset.
>CPUs
HTPC(4K60)/Web Browsing: 5600G, 14100/12100
Vidya: 7600, 7500F, 12600K, 12700KF; budget: 5600, 12400F
Overkill vidya: 7800X3D; alternate: 14600K/13600K
Workstation: 7950X, 14700K, 7900X; budget: i5 13500
AM4 upgrade: 5600, 5800X3D
Avoid iGPU-less CPUs, 5600X (if it is more expensive than the 5600)
>CPU coolers
Air: Phantom Spirit EVO/Peerless Assassin 120 SE; budget: Freezer 36 Air
Liquid: Arctic Liquid Freezer III
Avoid liquid coolers with a single 120mm fan.
>RAM
DDR4: Zen3/AM4 - 2x 16GB 3600 MT/s CL18; for locked "non-K" 12th/13th/LGA1700 - 2x 16GB 3200 MT/s CL16
DDR5: Zen4/AM5 - 2x 16GB 6000 MT/s CL30; for unlocked "K" 13th/14th/LGA1700 - 2x 16GB 6400MT/s CL32
Slower kits are also fine, if much cheaper. Just make sure you check the benchmark comparisons.
Note that the sweetspots are bound to change with the upcoming Zen5 and Meteor Lake processors.
>SSDs
Avoid: outdated Samsung 970 Evo Plus, cheapest poorfag NVMe SSDs.
https://ssd.borecraft.com/
>GPUs
Avoid: GPUs that were used for shitcoin mining, 4070 Ti, 4060 Ti, 3050, NVIDIA GPUs in general if you're a Linuxfag.
1080p: used 3070/3060 Ti, 4060/3060 12 GB, 7600/6650 XT/6600 XT; budget: 6600; poorfag: used 2060
1440p: 4070S/4070, 7900 GRE; budget: 6700 XT
2160p: 4080S/4080 (at MSRP); budget: 4070S Ti (avoid MSI models), 7900 XT/XTX
Production: 4090, used 3090; budget: 4060 Ti 16GB; poorfag: 3060 12GB
>12VHPWR
DO NOT USE ANGLED 12VHPWR ADAPTERS
Fully seat a 12VHPWR connector in its socket, otherwise the connection can melt.
>PSUs
Avoid: untested units, Bronze/Silver rated (assuming you live in yuroland).
Not worth buying a new PSU unless it's ATX 3.0 compliant.
Aim for 50-75% PSU utilization at full system load.

>Case (from $ to $$$)
mATX: I don't fucking know.
ATX: Lian Li Lancool 216, Lian Li Lancool III, Fractal Torrent.
AVOID: 'Silent' cases, fanless cases, Corsair 4000D airflow, Montech AIR 903 Base (awful stock fans).
>Monitors
Avoid: panels with less than 120 Hz refresh rates, without a single DisplayPort input and Variable Refresh Rate technology (G-Sync/FreeSync).
Check professional reviews for any monitor before you buy at sites like TFTCentral, pcmonitors.info, Monitors Unboxed, or RTINGs.
The bottom tier monitor for any decent gaming build has a 144+ Hz 24" 1080p IPS panel, of which there are many on market for around $125 (some great ones go even as low as $100).
Aim for a panel with low response times and perceived motion blur mode (Black Frame Insertion).
1440p 27" high refresh IPS is a common target for many new builds. 1440p is relatively easy to drive with even mid-range graphics cards.
Decent 2160p (4K) gaming monitors start at around $500.
OLED monitors have good HDR (including infinite contrast) and nearly instant pixel response times. However, potential burn-in is an important consideration for OLED monitors.
TL;DR: They all suck.
>OS
Install Ventoy on a flash drive, then transfer the iso files to it.
You can activate Windows with KMS_VS_ALL:

Instead of frowning at the future, How about we celebrate the past?
One of the best years in videogames turned 20 this year, and I figured, Why not make something special for it?
There's this video that compiles footage of multiple games from that era, but I think it could be improved upon.
For one, it's 16:9 instead of 4:3, and it's missing some games. It would also feel more special if it's homemade footage instead of existing walkthroughs.
So just grab Unregistered Hypercam 2, or better yet, record your CRT TV with a shitty camera while you're playing a 2004 game:

The deadline is July 20th, so that you don't procrastinate, you wiener.
OFFICIAL DEMO DAY THREAD
Please no bully edition
>What is demo day?
A seasonal community event in which your fellow nodev anons show off their projects, and for you anons to do what you do best.
>That is?
Play our vidya, and tell us how we can improve, show us the untapped potential you see, tell us how much our game sucks (or doesn't, after you've played it of course), and why it does or doesn't suck.
Please post criticisms/bugs/etc in this thread.
After this thread is culled, please post criticism/bugs/etc here: https://trashchan.xyz/agdg/thread/1628.html
Talk about some proper nippon Visual Novels! Whether you're playing one right now or a novel you've already completed.

Take your doki doki and shove it up your faggot ass!
>Eiyuu Senki
I dont know how but it took me 116 hours to beat it. I only skipped the optional dungeon. Let me just tell you that it was a long fucking week of suffering playing that game. Just nonstop talking from the characters in different scenes and just when you think it will stop it just keeps going. Then you go into battle again and then you're in for a long fucking talking session again. Rinse and repeat for the whole fucking game. Theres like maybe 6 or so sex scenes (probably more it was like 2 years ago i beat it) and to even get a sex scene you need to conquer someone and that means a fuckton of battles and a fuckton of talking. I spent a week straight just fucking playing this shit and by the end of it i was pretty much mindbroken by how long and shitty it was. A week of nonstop fapping/sweating/boredom and just waiting for it to end. Another thing that bothered me was their faces. If you look at the cover art you can see how the faces are designed. Their chins are like triangely and pointy and it makes the characters look retarded. Look at this screencap i took from one of the faces in the cover. It looks like she has downs syndrome! So theres that. I dont know what else to say. People say that Eiyuu Senki Gold is supposed to be alot better but it looks exactly like the original game.
TOGETHER WE RIDE
>What is it?
Play Fire Emblem together with other people you don't know on a grid and get (generally) fucked up. Work with other anons to get as far ahead into the story as possible using one unit per anon.
>What the fuck?
It's time for strategic grid-based ACTION. The rules are simple: one person controls one unit at a time and the host controls the lord. Assemble an ANON ARMY (play as anime characters!), equip with EPIC GEAR and LEAD THEM INTO BATTLE. Raise your own personal unit - but be careful with your decisions, or it might just die! (second chances available while replacements last.)
>Why play it?
It's an unexpectedly nice format. The game will be FE7 Randomized, with tacthack and other goodness as backup should something go wrong.
>When is it?
STARTING THIS FRIDAY 5 PM UTC https://time.is/UTC ALL WEEKEND
SETUP
>1. Download mednafen with roms: https://files.catbox.moe/r38zw0.zip
>2. Unpack, drag rom of choice over mednafen.exe to launch it with that (playgaem.bat is provided for your enjoyment)
>3. Press ALT+SHIFT+1 to set up the controls. There can be two buttons assigned to one input. Use the same button for first and second prompt if only one is desired. Try not to assign "t" and "Enter" to anything.
>4. Press t to open a chat menu, type in /connect ny.yuribacon.com and press enter. To rename yourself, use /nick [NAME]. To activate controls, use /dupe 1 .
>5. Play the game
FIRE EMBLEM INSTRUCTIONS: HOW TO FUCK UP IN STYLE
>0. The host controls all lords and deploys as few of them as possible.
>1. Every anon is assigned one unit of their choice when they join from the ones not claimed by others. They can only deploy and control that unit. Move around, trade, etc etc. Use chat to call dibs on units.
>2. If a new unit joins in the middle of a stage (as a reinforcement, etc, etc), that player can assign that unit to himself. If he does, he controls that unit alongside the one that he started the stage with during that stage - effectively controlling two units at once. Next stage, he can only deploy the new unit as usual.
>3. If people can't come to a consensus over who gets what item (stat booster, etc, etc), the host reserves the right to have the final say.
>4. We'll probably fucking die not even quarter of the way in. Game overs mean restarting the stage from the beginning. Do your best!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
>Rompack contains various other roms to play after we finish FE7 Randomizer. There will be a poll and people will be able to vote on the next game.
>If you've played PSX Multitap gamenight, Mednafen version is the same (1.31), you can get away with using your setup. Linux autists can use wine or get this version somewhere by themselves. Use roms from the archive.
>In an unlikely event in which host can't attend, people are invited and encouraged to play some Advance Wars 2 multiplayer. It's not likely, but it's there just in case.
>Press F1 to display help.
GAME TO BE PLAYED WILL BE FIRE EMBLEM 7 RANDOMIZER, LAUNCH "playgaem.bat" FROM THE EXTRACTED ARCHIVE AND PROCEED WITH THE SETUP WHEN THE TIME COMES. GOOD LUCK!

CURRENT TASKS:
1. OPERATION MAX REVIVE
Rebuild the board's userbase and activity through simple, but effective methods
1. Post across the entire board
Activity creates activity. Use threads you like, make new ones if topics don't exist. Easy examples are Drawthreads and Friday Night threads, go request or draw something right now.
2. Recruit and recover lost or potential anons
Use this site's OC and features to entice anons if necessary when recruiting, just inform that we are alive.
Here's some sites and links with at least some confirmed anons that can be recruited again:
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/8chotwheels
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SSAVCH
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/video_games
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/8chmohun
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/8chan_monster
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GoodLuckEbolaChan
https://steamcommunity.com/search/groups/#text=8ch.net
https://steamcommunity.com/search/groups/#text=8chan
Other sites that might yield fruitful results and have anons (art sites use an account so you can see 18+ content):

https://twitter.com/search?q=Vivian%20James&src=typed_query&f=image
https://rpgcodex.net/
https://old.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/
Somewhere on Telegram
Just searching up GG or 8chan-related terms on certain places/sites can get you possible results.
3. Make your own OC/Memes/Content
Doesn't matter what it is even if its just simple edits or full-on drawings or webms, just make it and have fun. Ask in thread for software recs if necessary.
4. Encourage or create fun events, activities, projects, etc.
Think things like 8chanmania, weekly streams, re-translation projects, demo days, or zzz's gaming magazine for example. If you want to do something, try making or reviving it, it can't hurt and these things are great for the board.
5. Use other boards
All it takes for a board to grow is at least 2 dedicated anons using it. Don't be afraid to make a post, check places periodically, shill, or what have you. Don't force discussions to boards, just encourage the usage of them.
2. OPERATION TRAJAN:
Collect and catalog all of the various localization and censorship accounts of past video games into a single repository from these sources:

It's shit.
Bravo Valve for taking the worst parts of DOTA, mixing it with some TF2, then slapping an unlicensed version of Hellboy over the top, then using shitty MMR to finish the shitcake.
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.
Will every single classic RTS get a remake now?
I though RTS were dead, how are remakes seen as a good investment?

Minecraft Movie Trailer
A minecraft movie trailer has been released and it looks like what you would expect.
I would like some clarification from the mods about a continuing issue with the news thread. Someone (or maybe multiple people) thinks that anything game journos shit out onto their websites constitutes "news", even if it's just some retarded clickbait opinion piece. In my opinion these are all derailment in a thread that is supposed to be about vidya news, and should be deleted or moved to a Gamergate thread instead.
Can I get a mod opinion here to set the rules straight?

Gamemode: Survival
After 5 years, half a decade, the nogames5 finally has ONE GAME.
I can't wait to wait 11 years to get an used PS5 for 50 bucks to play one game, just like I did with the PS4 and its 2 exclusives I care about.
A thread for strategy games in real time, like rts's and rtt's. RTS's, in particular, have had a resurgence in the last few years. Ambitious games are being released. A lot of them are remakes, but still, they're interesting. Stuff like Age of empires and age of mythology aren't dead ip's any more.
A programmer can make a videogame, but a function alone doesn't sell. For as long as videogames have been marketed there's been a concious effort to make them visually stand out, either promotionally or in-game, so long as the engine could handle it.
Dump artwork, promotional renders, adverts, posters, sprites, even in-game screenshots if you're pushing it; whatever you deem made the game cool. With every game trying to find their own visual niche and themselves being a little time capsule for their technology and the zeitgeist of their devs, there should be plenty to cover.
For instance I've always liked the uncanny look of early 3D renders, and believe the technology lost its edge when CGI got standardized and overdeveloped. On traditional artwork, Roger Dean's cover art on Psygnosis games is fantastic. Don't know how they managed to land the job on him but I'm glad they did. A master of the canvas, disingenuous cover art aside.

Ok, niggers, post all your new or updated shit here. If you don't know what logo to use, consider using this or something similar. Thanks in advance for the contributions and definitely thank you for all the quality work done for the previous two boards, hopefully this is the last.

PC port good. Play the game.
I don't think I've seen a single /gsg/ thread on zzz since day zero and I decided I've had enough of waiting for someone else to make it. The one on smug, which you can find here https://smuglo.li/vg/res/1231.html , was made a staggering four (4) years ago, only got 200 posts and the last was made 11 months back, so I think it's time we get our own and hopefully get not glacial levels of activity.
So, what are you playing? Still playing Parajew shit and incesting your entire family in CK2, blobbing in Vicky or has anyone been as far as decided to trying something new more like for a change?
Speaking of Parajew, the latest HOI4 expansion "Arms Against Tiranny" dropped a few weeks back adding a few more mechanics, which should've been in the base game to begin with but are instead, in typical Parajew fashion, locked behind a paywall, like slightly more in depth supply networks, transports, a barebones international arms dealing market and new focus trees for Scandinavian countries. I decided to give it a spin and pirated it for the 15th time and I'm now playing an (read: restarted a dozen times because I keep getting repeatedly fucked over by one thing or another) a-historically focused campaign as Shittaly trying to gigablob the entire universe and it's not going particularly great. Here's a recap of the events so far:
>wrapped up the nigger correction expedition just before March and justified against France while in the middle of it still
>knocked out the frogs by mid 38 after a rather slow and sloppy war, which I won 1:5 ratio, and yoinked all their navy which included 7 juicy BBs, 1 CV, a couple dozen light and heavy cruisers and over a hundred destroyers and subs
>barely managed to nick the the strategic Moroccan half of the strait of Gibraltar by declaring on nationalist Spain, sneaking in from France, making a quick push through an ever narrowing strip of land before it could get gobbled up by the other sides of the civil war and then nailing the peace conference just right to demand it and other minor bits of clay
>took less than a month and almost no casualties
>I'm starting to look at Uncle Adolf or the UK when fucking Marxist Portugal decides to declare war on me out of the blue
>they're landlocked so I just lmao naval invade them with not even a full army of nigger irregulars and own them in 3 weeks
>them being Marxist unfortunately translated to them also being in a faction with the USSR and now I'm at war with them but we are too far to fight
>meanwhile
>Germany is Germanying along doing typical somewhat historical path of annexing Austria, and then going to war with the Czechs and the rest of the balkans because they all decided to be in one faction
>Poland commies are about to win a civil war
>The UK and Japan have been doing fuckall
>Yugo balkanized
It is now almost Christmas 1938 and I'm preparing to invade Turkey from French Syria so I get access to the black sea and the Soviet border, also setting up some defenses in Portugal and the French/Spanish border because, since they're commies, I expect them to join the Soviets and the war as soon as they finish mopping up the anarchists. I'm not confident I can win against the soviets because I really don't have either enough divisions on the field or manpower to last, but they did fight a civil war so maybe they're not doing as well as usual.
Look at my blob in pic related 5 and post caps of your own blob or border gore or whatever. Also the infograph is several years out of date, it could use a revamp if anyone feels like doing free work.

A thread to post and discuss your favorite soundtracks in videogames.
What have you been listening to lately?
I've been listening to 3D Sonic games OST. Crush 40 gives all of these games a pretty good soundtrack. It's usually what I end up remembering when playing sonic games.
How was the last game you played? What did you like or hate about it? Why?

Last thread: >>170480
What have you bene playing lately? If you're human and play games on the regular there might be something about them that has stuck to you and you deem worthy of sharing. If faggot e-celebs exist it is proof that plenty can be said about videogames, whether good or bad. Gameplay, story, characters, its sounds department or its music, the graphics or lack thereof, and the like.
For instance, I've been meaning to finish Forbidden Siren on the PS2, and you can tell it's a Japanese game because there are funny slanted faces plastered over the 3D mesh equivalent of a potato.
Gameplaywise it plays like your average survival horror game with a unique twist. For some reason I'm yet to figure out, the player characters have the ability to "sightjack" the vision of the faggots trying to kill you. Using this technique you can check on their behaviour and their movement pattern, as well as guessing where they are located using the map and their field of vision. It's a pretty cool gimmick the game was built on, given you're helpless most of the time and there are plenty of villagers with firearms sprinkled throughout the map.
That being said, I've only procrastinated completing this game because it's a fucking slog to play through. The gameplay loop consists of missions printed on time slots on some retarded looking bulletin board, and each mission needs one objective done to be completed. Keep in mind there are 10 different playable characters the story is constantly jumping to from mission to mission, and the game is constantly reusing the handful stages there are between them. I can't forgo how I had cleared Akira's mines mission at the beginning of the game to be immediately greeted by the same mines in the very next mission only with a different character at a different time, felt like the game spat at my face at that time.
What's more, more often than not you'll clear a mission only to be forced to return to another one you completed an hour ago only to collect some stupid new item on the map. From what I've seen so far this has to be done with every mission in the game, and since you don't get to decide which mission's next you're forced to backtrack two missions to gain access to a new level. This is dogshit level design, and this is coming from the guy who directed the first Silent Hill 1 and later on produced the Gravity Rush games. The fact that a game you have to sit through for 3 hours from start to finish is more replayable than a game split into missions speaks volumes on how grating this game is. I can only hope the second game is better.
On a side note, the localization on this game reminds me how fucked the English language is. The Italian, French and Spanish version all use sex instead of gender on the characters' bios. Surprisingly enough even the UK version does as well, the US one being the odd one of the bunch. I supposed Americans chugged too much fluoride compared to yuropoors, even back in 2004.
(Reposting with some alterations because Cantabiles have been expelled from Sleepychan, apparently:)
I'm glad to announce that it's almost time for the 2024 UT summer stream. Can you believe that anons started the tradition of streaming a horrendously bad RPG maker game by a tumblrite, 9 years ago!? Here's hoping we make it to at least another year! This is only the current host's (Not!Alto_Cantabile) second time streaming so please be patient with him as he is still learning. I'm really looking forward to it, and I hope to see you there. Thank you anons, and all the previous streamfags for making all this possible.
START TIME: AUGUST 3RD AT 3pm CDT/1pm PST/9pm for Britbongs/10pm for the rest of Europe
Stream Link: https://cytu.be/r/uncommontime
TENTATIVE SCHEDULE
Aug 3rd: Nuclear.
Aug 4th - Aug 6th: Finish the vanilla UT content.
Aug 7th: CODA and Duet. Will probably also start Predecessors on the same day.
Aug 8th - Aug 9th: Finish Predecessors, and start Retuned.
Aug 10th - Aug 11th: Finish Retuned and if we have time I'll play Sullen Boku Girls Alliance, but I don't know if I'll complete all of it.
This schedule is subject to change based on how quickly Not!Alto can complete the game.
Questions you might have.
>How long will the stream last?
Not!Alto will try to stream for 5-6 hours. This will give our europoors a chance to see the stream without staying up too late. There will not be streaming for 8 to 10 hours like last time.
>Will the stream be recorded by the host?
To be determined
>Are you autistic?
N.A.C. has never been diagnosed. (You) on the other hand...
>is Teagan a NIGGER?
Teagan is Celtic and therefore white.
>Will there be a pre stream?
There may be a Test Stream later tonight and possibly another as we get closer to the main event. The times for those ought to be relayed in the thread.
>is Arietta really 12' tall?
Maybe.
>Who is best girl?
The only correct answer is all of them.
In this thread, we will post evidence of autism in the gaming community. The harder it is to watch, the better.
I was wondering if anyone has a magnet link sorted for this emu. I am not spending 200 for a jailbroken ps4 to play a not even working game for sys modules
22 years later. This is still objectively the best bing bing wahoo game in the series' 40 year history.
On a related note. I miss 2000s Mario games. Mario has been so bland for more than a decade now.

Now that SF6 has been out for a while, people are beginning to look forward to Tekken 8 and other assorted titles to carry the fighting game torch into 2024. I'm not sure how much there will be to say about those games when they come, but in the meantime there are a couple topics which I figured bore discussing.
>Them's Fightin' Herds will end active development after 2 additional characters. Story mode is cancelled.
I went trawling through the Steam and developer forums for this announcement to see what the community reaction was, but there wasn't much helpful. I was able to find some statements from the developers from as recently as the start of November where they promised story mode content would come for free at a later date.
>Rivals of Aether 2 asks for $200,000 to help cover costs going into 2024 . . . after investing more than $2 million throughout development
<"We want to make the best tournament-level platform fighter."
<they currently have $570,000 with 17 days to go in the crowdfunding campaign
Obviously game development is hard, expensive, and risky, so asking for more money throughout development can sometimes be necessary. But I can't help but feel as though hyperfocus on the competitive scene is what always ends up killing games that aren't named Mortal Kombat.

Guide to a happy share thread
>Leechers
1. Before requesting, search online and use distributed search engines (e.g. InfraSearch, Opencola, YaCy, FAROO).
2. Look in CheckBeforePosting, and the archives.
3. If a password is required check the archives, especially the source thread if it's listed.
4. Be as specific as possible. If you have the cover art of the file you want, post it in the share thread.
5. Links to files will purposely be misleading by having spaces, lines, keys & passwords split in the post. This includes torrent hashes.
a. If you see a string of hex characters (e.g. c12fe1c06bba254a9dc9f519b335aa7c1367a88a) with or without dashes, it is torrent hash (remove dashes).
b. If your torrent client is shit, prepend magnet:?xt=urn:btih: to the string.
c. Find and Replace (sed/tr/awk) is your friend.
>Uploaders
1. When in doubt, upload. Ask questions later.
2. Upload to multiple hosts and keep a local copy if space permits.
3. Obfuscate your links; encode them in base64, and/or indirectly link via a private paste bin (e.g. zerobin.net) to confuse bots and web crawlers.
4. Protect your uploads with a password, key, or generator. Rename the files something random (e.g. their checksums). Maybe even pad files to the nearest GB or so to confuse content identification engines.
5. If your connection is stable, it is extremely advisable to self host using anonymity tools like Freenet, I2P, Gnunet, distributed NNTP or MixMinion/Mixmaster.

Which is a name I hate but it's sort of become a way to describe the Demons souls, Dark, Elden, ect, flavor of games. So fuck it, I'm going to use it. This also includes non Fromsoft titles that are in a similar vein.
With the current DLC for ER on the way I've taken to actually trying to beat the game. I find that what happens is that I play it, get bored of my build, then try another one. Recently since picking it back up I've stuck with a dex/fai build and I'm enjoying it enough. I'm tempted eventually to do a build around just using those Carin sword sorceries and not even bother using a weapon but I'm sure I'll change that a few times before I settle on another one.
I got to Radahn and he is slapping my shit because I forgot to level VIG and now I have to go see that one bitch and rebirth or get good but I think there are a few more things around that I can do to get some souls runes to pump my vig up a few points. I don't know how many anons here play but I've always thought it would be fun to try and play together, or at least do a boss or two.
Speaking of the Soulslike older from titles are Kingsfield and ShadowTower are more than welcome as well as are any other recent games that have come out emulating them, or older titles that are the same. Just talk about gaymes.
New Fallout 4 mod by American Krogan
Grounded Commonwealth
Public beta
>Grounded Commonwealth is a Fallout 4 modification that overhauls hundreds of NPCs and alters thousands of records so that the experience now aligns more with what you would expect from a caricatured America that never moved on from its 1950s Atomic Age culture. No more sassy girl boss raiders. No more diverse demographics. No more modern political posturing. Dozens of main characters have been reworked and revoiced, and the dialogue of several quests has been adjusted.

Last thread here >>176775 https://web.archive.org/web/20231126140709/https://zzzchan.xyz/v/thread/176775.html hit the bumplock limit a few days ago and is one post away to hit the reply limit. Given how we've had 3 consecutive weekends worth of videogames to some extent it's crucial to create thread here and now to keep the ball rolling.
Now that I've got that out of the way, in hindsight, what the fuck happened to gamenights in Sleepy? Looking back on the archive, to the few catalog pages saved from 2020:
<GAME NIGHT VOTE/PREPARATION THREAD >>1004, ran from September/October 2020 until February/March 2021 (~5 months), saw at least 12 gamenights in that period of time judging by catalog screenshots and discounting gimmick threads and static servers
<Game Night Organization Thread >>176775, has run from November 2022 to November 2022 (1 year), has seen 10 gamenights in that timeframe, 4 of these being in December last year and 3 of them being this month
I know the coronahoax was hot in between 2020-early 2022, but that's no excuse for the gamenight drought we've been suffering this past year. For comparison, just as a reminder for how gifted this site used to be a few years ago, in that Autumn 2020-Winter 2021 timeframe it saw gamenights for:
>JKA
>Co-op campaigns for Doom, Sven and DX
>SRB2K
>Mechwarrior LL
>S4 League
>Empires
>Dystopia
>Joint Ops
>AI War
Just in that small period of time, and that's ignoring the more niche shit like the GBA Mednafen autism, the netplay Pokemon Stadium 2 fuckaround, that Vintage Story server, the Soku tournament, the Wurm saga or those gimmicky Doom WADs that were run from time to time.
Seriously, what the fuck has happened? Did all the hostfags vanish into thin air? Did they all quit the Internet for the remainder of their lives? Did they get a life? Do the only faggots remaining here think dedicated servers are black voodoo magic and their moms will die in their sleep if they learn to fucking host? Are >we going to get our shit together and put together a bunch of fun games on the weekends for old time's sake, or are gamenights as a concept as good as dead?

What are your expectations, and what do you think about what will be/has been shown?
As most people in the west, i am sick and tired of niggers being shoved everywhere they don't belong.
From turning established white characters into niggers (spiderman, deadshot, nick fury, firestorm, green lantern) to forcing them where they shouldn't be (wearing European armor in medieval settings, or the recent WE WUZ Prince of Persia)
Not to mention the blatant tokenism where a group of (otherwise white, or asian) characters must have at least one, making ugly version of otherwise cute characters in order to not "offend" them (black inklings and octolings in Splatoon, that honestly look like shit, even putting racism aside) or going for the disgusting race mixing propaganda and pairing niggers with white women.
Today i saw a trailer for this game: "Tales of Kenzera: ZAU"
I only saw the "making of" trailer for it and some glimpses of gameplay, and it seems to be about niggers in Africa dealing with all kind zulu and voodoo shit.
Also, i am surprised that the niggers involved with this game talking about "muh culture" were for once correctly talking about sub-saharian Africa and were not pretending DEY WUZ Egyptian, European, Japanese, Everything-but-Africans, and all that ridiculous bullshit.
No idea if the game goes in WE WUZ territory moving forward, honestly
Now, i am not interested in this shit and i don't want to play it, it's a game about niggers made (mostly) for niggers, and so, it is clearly not for me.
BUT, you know what? I am fine with that.
I found myself (for the first time in ages) not bothered by something like this existing, unlike shit like spider-nog, nigger-deadshot, or niggers in medieval armor in fantasy games (Dragon's Dogma 2, Baldur's Gate, Diablo 4 or that lore-raping garbage game Shadow of War that is still making Tolkien spin in his grave).
Maybe that's because (to me at least) this looks like a genuine attempt to please nogs and homage their homeland, and not an attack on white people and and their culture like the shit containing "divershitty" usually is about.
I also remember as kid playing and not being bothered by games like "Akuji: The Heartless" or "ShadowMan", since both were dealing with Voodoo shit and so having a nigger MC made sense.
So i though, could this be the right way to have niggers in vidya?

Yep, it's that time again. Listen to the mystery music and try to guess which video game they belong to. Share your themes and have others guess them. Maybe you'll find something new that catches your interest?
I'll start with 25 songs, difficulties ranging from easy songs that even people who don't play games must have heard at least once, to some more obscure stuff.

Launch Capcom into the sun! Stir fry capcom in a wok! Toss Capcom into active volcanoes! Urinate in Capcom's gas tank!
Is there a console, a peripheral, a game, or anything vidya related that you bought only to regret it later on, and wished you never spent the money for it?
Either because it didn't deserve the amount of money spent, you didn't enjoy it enough to justify to price, or just turned out to be shit against your expectations?
I'll start with some of mine:
>Evil Twin on the PS2
I bought this game at the newsstand at budget price but it was not even worth the low asking price.
It was irredeemable trash.
>Chink handheld "Anbernic RG 350 "
I was very happy with it until it started falling apart after only a few months of use.
Not worth the money spent at all, if i ever get another chink handheld it won't be an Anbernic, that's for sure.
>PS Vita
I even pre-ordered and got it on launch day with a bunch of goodies, i loved the PSP and with this i expected "the PSP but with PS3 graphics" it was advertised as, but i got a paper weight that didn't have a fraction of the support nor the library variety that the PSP had.
I still got SOME enjoyment out of it with games like Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Little Big Planet, Dragon's Crown, Odin's Sphere and Gravity Rush, but still wasn't worth the money spent.
This is probably my biggest regret.
One of the biggest reasons 2011 was so great.
Just watched the Raimi trilogy on the big screen. It gave me a craving for some good Spider-man games.
I know Spider-man 2 on the PS2 is usually the go to, but I want something as stylish as the movies. Any recs?
While we're at it. What's your favorite Spider-man game?
We don't have to talk about the recent atrocities made by Insomniac.

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 with some cheesecake or ecchi.
>You've barely done anything in the last two years!
The GitGud repo needs updating, but despite writefag's periods of absence there has been solid progress made on character designs and illustrations.
- Base Libbie and XUE (the mouse girl in the swimsuit) have all their expressions done.
- Maff's expressions are mostly done.
- Concepts/sketches for Art and Kiki are mostly done and their designs are practically final.

Here are some of the new examples from Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. Have you learned moonrunes yet, anonkun?
Memes aside.
I love this game. You see all these games trying to replicate the PS1 aesthetic but nothing ever comes close to how beautiful Door of Phantomile presents itself.
It's a shame it didn't sell that well, then again, there's a sequel and a couple of GBA games I haven't played much of.
ITT: You summarize a segment of a plot or entire plot in vague and obtuse terms and anons try to guess which game you're talking about.
Examples:
>old lady from fantasy auschwitz gets turned into a giant pickle and then dies
>you're waifu gets the urge to turn into the ender of reality and then your alternate self does it for her
>private investigator goes to a school but there's an ojou only cult that happens to have a shrink ray or some shit I forget
>nobunaga has aids and you gotta help him out
I'm sure you guys are better at this then me so go wild.
++What's this all about?++
Detective Conan is a game where one of us declares himself the Conan and takes a ragtag team of six goblins assembled by anons into an online competitive murder mystery 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 Conan calls "new Conan", the first anon to claim the title is our Conan. He uses the first six legal Pokémon suggested after his claim as his team. Conan can also call "new team" when the old one became stale (rule of thumb: 40-60 minutes). Conan plays in ++National Dex++ unless specified otherwise.
Absolutely no experience is necessary and everything is done in-browser.
++Rules++
1. Conan can't forfeit, intentionally throw a match, or timer stall.
2. Conan may not edit a set without the suggester's permission.
3. All Pokémon must be nicknamed. If the goblin didn't have a name, Conan makes one up.
4. Don't send goblin hentai twice, unless your last sugg was 15 minutes ago or Conan explicitly asked for redumps.
5. Conan should replace resuggs with fresh goblins that come in later.
6. Don't spam the catalog with threads.

Something I noticed rather recently is that despite how much people tend to strain their face about current "internet memes" and jokes seeping into modern video games and media, people didn't seem to mind all this much when it came to material from the late Aughts and early 2010's. In fact, IIRC, it was almost treated like a badge of honor to have your stupid internet joke comic be popular enough to see it as "Worth it" to have a game based off of it. So what's different about the "internet-based" video games that came out 10-20 years ago compared to the ones coming out today?
It's been a while since I've seen people talk about the original shooter genre, so let's have a thread dedicate to that. What's some of your favorites from this line of games? For me, my favorite was always Galaga Arrangement because of the enemy patterns and the music.
They flood the market with all of these cruddy child-labor-built controllers. making it really hard to find legit controllers. Wii remote "Replacements" are the worst, Especially when family members can't seem to comprehend that one first party remote will be cheaper in the long run, than buying ten third party remotes that break within six months.
Now I feel a lot better for getting that out.
Normally, I would find that smoking or drinking alcohol enhances my gaming experience, making me more invested in the gameplay. However, caffeine tends to irritate me, leaving me uninterested in doing anything other than lying down and engaging in mindless activities. What about you, anonymous user? Besides the options mentioned, are there any other substances that you believe can improve the gaming experience while playing video games?
With Visions of Mana coming out next month i thought this would be a great time to make a thread where we can discus the Seiken/Mana games, talk about the music, art, gameplay, what you'd like to see in future releases, etc
I personally love the series artstyle, it is so goddamn cozy and always puts me in a good mood, some pople dislike the fact that there's no overaching plot across the games but in my opinion that's a plus, for better or worse each entry is rather unique in some way or another and doesn't have to follow up the story of the previous one, they can just do their own thing freely
So anon, what's your favorite:
>Game
>Character
>Waifu
>Loli
>Enemy
Been a while since we had one and I've been thinking about it again so it's time to talk about some Monster Hunter.
What are ya...
PLAYIN?
HUNTAIN?
MAINING?
CARTIN TO?
Or do you hate MonHunt and want to bitch? Well friend, come on over. We have room in this thread for many opinions, even wrong ones. I myself haven't played in a while. Rise didn't catch on with me the same as the other ones did. I hate the dogs, to much going on with all the palicios and everything during a hunt. Maybe I should give it another go.
Also maybe we could get a hunting group together again. We did it a bit for portable 3rd and it was pretty fun.
>all UT before failed UT4
>double tap movement key (WASD, etc) to dodge
>no option for dedicated dodge key
Is this based or retarded?
With double tap to dodge, there are situations where you might want to quickly tap an arrow key you just finished holding down, to make small adjustments to your position:
Say I want to go behind a column for cover.
If I go too far I stick out of one side.
If I don't go far enough I still stick out of one side.
If I need to make small adjustments instead of holding down the key for the exact amount of time am I retarded?
Say I want to go to the edge of a platform before jumping to the next.
If I go too far I fall off.
If I don't go far enough I won't make the jump.
If I need to make small adjustments instead of holding down the key for the amount of time am I retarded?
What if I want to dodge forward into a ramp to get up it (this is a thing in UT99) but double tapping forward will cancel my momentum. What if the ramp is configured such that the only way to get up is if you're already at full velocity when you do the dodge? Am I retarded? You can get around this for example by hitting right key then do a 90 degree left turn and then hit the right key again so you dodge right into the ramp without losing momentum.
I've been addicted to this game for the past week, and made the poor choice to challenge tribulation IX with only humans. I'm currently on day 39 and just lost a golden core to a group of qi shapers because he had just come back from an adventure with 0 qi. I'm now down to a tier 3 gold core and another inner that is going to breakthrough to golden core in about 2 days.
Considering the primordial spirit beast horde that's going to appear on day 80, how fucked am I?

So one of the things that my wageslave job provides me with loads of time to myself to listen to whatever I want. So I downloaded to my PSP various interviews and documentaries pertaining to anything and everything. 'One' of such interviews that I listened to yesterday pertained to Harlan Ellison on the development of I Have No Mouth I Must Scream, which is attached to this opening post. For those who don't want to bother watching/listening to the vid, here's the gist of what Ellison bangs on about:
>This is a game designed so players will always lose and never win
>Only educated people will enjoy this, not those stunted Far Right individuals that play "Wolfensteen"
>Video games will only ever progress is we focus on narratives and puzzles rather than action
Now the reason why I bring this up is because I feel like this is an open secret when it comes to video games from the 80's to the Auights, that people more want to deny rather than actually acknowledge about the medium and why it's gone down the part that it has. With developers like David Jaffe who only entered the medium because they couldn't make it as a filmmaker or comic writer, to developers like Gabe Newel who wanted to make a "more sophisticated and philosophical" game than "Qwack", to Dave Theurer literally creating Missile Command as a political statement on nuclear war, to Kojima's entire career being just a copy and paste of whatever was popular in Pedowood. And it's like no one was ever really secretive about this because you can easily find interviews of them boasting about it, and even gaming media like Future, GameTrailers, and G4 being absolutely blatant in their biases.
The 'only' difference is that before 2010, they were being very open about them. But made their activities more secretive after 2010, and THAT'S when people started getting suspicious and caring. It's almost like the lesson they failed to learn in the industry is that you gain a lot more trust and money from the public if you tell them 'exactly' how you're going to fuck them over rather than try to be hidden about your intentions.
Oi, Zelda, innit?
Now that the dust has settled, what do you think about ToTK? Was it worth the hype? Or was it all one big asset flip? And what about that live-action Zelda movie? I, for one, am terrified of it. But yeah, talk about Zelda, keep it civil. and no Zelink.
Recommend good indie vidya or rant about pozzed shit.
I been playan some good stuff:
>Zortch
This game fucks. Is the only instance I can think of, of a game doing the 90s/early2000s look right. No modern lighting, no pixelated textures, no bullshit. Just pure quake-like goodness and busty babes. Gameplay is fast-paced without unnecessary complex mechanics. It oozes personality, from the graphics, to the SFX, to the fun enemies. My only grudge is that the music is just atmospheric with no tunes to rock with. I listened to old metal while playing which I recommend doing.
Overall, I recommend it a lot. Full-game is out on itch.io. Releases June 8th on steam.

Choose your racer from a wide array of shitty meme characters made by 12 years old join my Discord server at https://dicksuck.cum/invite/g4yN1gg3r5, on tracks made by the fucking geniuses who thought building complex 3D geometry on an engine that renders 2D sprites was a good idea. Trannies don't deserve human rights.
On the flipside, the karting's serviceable, the items are decently balanced and the server linked in this OP contains none of the gay shit described above. There can be some fun derived from this kusoge even if the paragraph above reads the contrary.
>is this game fun?
In spite of what's said above it is indeed a moderately fun game. Try it out if you might.
>is this server related to that other server back from Summer?
No. This is a vanilla server that's running a bunch of new racetracks, some custom characters and not much else. It bears no relation to the >people that populated that one server, so please give this one a go if that one's warped your perception on the game.
>how can I download this game?
You will need both the game's files and the addon pack that the server's running in order to run it.
<GAME: https://github.com/STJr/Kart-Public/releases/tag/v1.6
<ADDONS: https://pixeldrain.com/u/f7t9i3Zv
To install the game on Windows:
Head over to the first link, download srb2kart-v16-Installer.exe then install the game on whichever location you've chosen. Afterwards, move to the game's root folder, create a subdirectory named addons then dump the contents from the ADDONS zip inside of it.
To install the game on Linux:
You'll have to download both the source code and AssetsLinuxOnly.zip in order to compile the Linux executable. Otherwise, just refer to this guide here: http://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/Source_code_compiling which worked for me by summoning cmake /path/to/source/code from a different folder to the source code's, then typing in make inside said folder.
Once you've got the working Linux binary, head over to your user's /.srb2kart folder then extract the contents from the ADDONS .zip listed above inside the addons/ folder. Create this folder in case it doesn't exist already.
>is this a virus?
I'm not sure. It can be said the dev team's HIV positive though.
The server's IP's located at 198.98.58.112. Gamenight will begin Friday 1st at no one bothers following the schedule, just join in at a time you expect faggots to be playing in.
As a budding game developer, I thought It would be cool to write games for a limited system. The problem is that most of these systems are more expensive than a rasberry pi, which could emulate all of these machines and more. There's no point for the consumer to buy and overpriced and underpowered machine. So I have been thinking about you would go about making it cheap enough to be viable. Any ideas?
Here are some links to example neo-retro machines:
https://c256foenix.com/
https://www.commanderx16.com/
https://www.specnext.com/
https://mega65.org/
-SDXC
For me, it's Banjo-Kazooie and SM64.
I like them both, specially B-K, but I have played them to death that If I ever put them on. I'll tap out after an hour or two.
Curiously there's games I never get bored of like God Hand, The souls games and SA1.
So im gonna use Halo 3 as an example here since well I was just playing MCC and it frankly sucked.
>Halo 3 on the 360 typically had you start with an AR and Magnum
>Certain playlists let you spawn with a battle rifle
>Battle Rifle is usually a pick up on maps
>MCC halo 3 basically just has every mode have you start with the battle rifle
>Certain maps become unplayable as people are jump plinking each other across the map
>Minor weapon pickups like the plasma rifle, SMG, spiker are utterly useless
Like a good 80% of weapons in halo 3 feel like ass and are garbage and starting with a BR just eliminates the reason to use variety. At least Quakes weapon sandbox had every weapon be viable but current day quake suffers from Clan Arena being whats mostly played which again just gives you the best guns at spawn.
>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: >>118872 (archive: https://archive.ph/z17yE)
>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.
>what did you accomplish in the last thread?
- Progress on script and new demo 9see below).
- New drawfag who refined his sketches into final base illustrations (pics related).
- More detail on final day and endings.
- Got a gitgud repo set up to prevent bottlenecks/make saving progress easier.
Our progress is pretty glacial, but we're still making progress. We may also be getting a new codefag, since the current one doesn't have a lot of free time. As always, anyone is welcome to contribute.
The most recent demo is for day 3: https://files.catbox.moe/zlm5fa.zip - there's also a Linux version: https://files.catbox.moe/c5cg72.bz2
The most recent script is for day 4: https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/CUEED+Rote5DxIqRzBOzS2tkLMAuc25aiszokevm4fg/
Let's talk about those characters that you thought had a cool design or were particularly hot, but were apart of a bad game, a good game that flopped and never had a sequel, or were relegated to a secondary role only to disappear forever, but you thought deserved more.
For me it's Nariko and Kai from Heavenly Sword
The game sadly wasn't that good and even ran bad with frame rate drops and shit like that, but i think Nariko and Kai had a good design, Nariko was proof that you can make a good female protagonist that is "strong" but still sexy, while Kai had that cute but autistic appeal.
I think that both deserved to be in a much better game, more than single one, in fact.
Another one that comes to my mind is Lien Neville from KOF maximum impact.
She was created as the western counterpart to Mai Shiranui, but after the two Maximum Impact games SNK never brought her back in any other KOF game ever again.
I think she had a cool design and really could have been SNK's Nina Williams.
But there's many others like Sasha and Mathilda from Anarchy Reigns, Sokaku Mochizuchi (his evil spirit summoning is awesome) and Cheng Sinzan (great as a comic relief character) from Fatal Fury...
So yeah, post those characters that you think deserved a better chance.
What happened to all of the rhythm games that were present during the Aughts? It seemed like we had everything from Guitar Hero and DDR and Rhythm Heaven to now where the only thing still coming out is just...Just Dance, I think? Where did everything go?
Let's have a thread about Star Wars vidya. Say what you will about the movies and what they've become, but Disney can't fuck up the extended universe, which was arguably always the best part of the franchise.
I just finished KOTOR1 see the review thread for my, well, review and a part of me wants to replay and do a Dark Side playthrough, but another part of me wants to move on to KOTOR2(with the cut content restoration, of course). Even if Light Side is canon, IIRC, is it still worth seeing what Dark Side has to offer, for reasons that aren't just HK-47 approving of you being an absolute dick?
What did you all think of The Force Unleashed? I remember playing the shit out of the DS, shut up version, and having no idea where to go on an earlier mission on the console version.. Is it still worth playing to this day, should I skip to TFU2, or is Fallen Order better? Which isn't saying a lot, because I didn't like the latter at all.
DOOM
Other retroFPS and retro inspired FPS can come too.
I'm legitimately surprised there is no Doom thread on the catalog, lets rectify that, shall we?
Post some DOOM.
Post some WADS.
Post some of its COPYCATS.
Post some other retro FPS like DUKE. I need to check up on the DNF restoration project
Post some new takes on an old formula like DUSK and all that jazz.
Post about the communities because GOSSIP is also fun.
Are you Mappin? Post that TOO
If you can map, offer assistance to young mappers, or make fun of their lack of skill. I'm not your dad
I myself have started to get back into Doom and have been skimming the Cacowards for some gold. I also need to beat Ashes 2063 so I can start on its second game, Through the Ashes. There was also the release of Reelism 2 a little while back which I have mixed feelings on, still worth playing though. I've also always considered making a list of gameplay mods and wads that complement each other well such as Rampancy with Highway Acceleroid Booster for muh robot theme. Lastly I like to just slam random on Doomworld and see what comes up. After this long you know there is some buried treasure just lurking in those archives, or its just fun to see what some random guy made 20+ years ago.
I have some of the older SoyouwanttoplaysomeDOOM infographics if anyone wants them for posterity or just can't be arsed to find them on the web.
NOW LETS FUCKING DOOM
Congrats! You just won a zillion dollars!
In your infinite wisdom, you use this never-ending budget to make the gaming room of your dreams.
How do you go about it?
Me personally I would try to recreate as faithfully as possible a gaming basement you would find in the early 2000s.
6th gen consoles attached to a big-ass CRT. I'd get some of my favorite arcade cabinets like Time Crisis, Galaga, Guitar Hero III and maybe even a japanese import like Taiko no Tatsujin. On the corner I would have a mini LAN party section with multiple WinXP-Win98 PC rigs. I'd have a pool table and a display fridge with fizzy drinks and a giant poster on the wall with all of the Dead or Alive girls on it.
And for post-7th gen games? I'd have a small movie room with a projector to play any modern 16:9 releases.
You all would be invited of course!
None of that gay LED RGB shit with a wall full of consoles I'll never use or "retro art" posters. That kind of shit infuriates me.
The Japanese version of one of the biggest fighting game events happened this weekend. Most of the games were modern trash, but Street Fighter 3 Third Strike was the retro main stage game and that's pretty cool.
Ok nerds, it's time once again to be eaten by wolves, mauled by bears, and frozen by inclement weather.
>What is this nice looking minecraft mod?
No mod, but a rather similar block game made by russians in a real programming language. Unlike that other cube game everything you do is a 5-step process and general pain in the ass.
>What is new since the last server?
-General server performance improvements. Now only consumes half the available RAM idling with zero players.
-Cave-ins can now occur while mining if your roof is not properly supported.
-New and generally annoying first-person arm animations
-New varieties of animals to murder
-Pigs are now aggressive if piglets are around.
-Capturing small animals in baskets is now part of the base game.
-New surface ruins. I've installed the mod that does this better anyways.
-General chiseling improvements.
-More varieties of plants in the base game. A cosmetic improvement only.
-Glider in the base game to kill you from fall damage.
-Rafts in the base game. Slow and shitty. I've installed a mod that makes them usable.
-Generally nicer terrain generation. Oceans and more coherent landforms.
-More and bigger doors
-Angled beams, cosmetic only.
>Wow that sounds really underwhelming for an entire year of development.
It is.
>Server info?
Version 1.19.3
51.81.23.55:27145
No password
I shelled out the extra $5 for the wooping 6GB of RAM. That should be enough for about 8 players in different locations.
>Settings?
Map and coordinate HUD: OFF
Reminder that even mineman doesn't have a map by default. Surely you're not too casual to play without one?
I'll turn it back on if everyone gets hopelessly lost inna woods.
World Height: 256
Days/month: 30
Underground farming: ON
True winters: On
Cave-ins: On as soon as the devs tell us the server command that turns it on.

>What notable mods are installed?
Alchemy - Plants and potions autism. Avoid using mushrooms and flowers until some farming mod is updated.
That OP backpack mod
Wearable Light - Buy from a trader. Hold in hand and press ctrl+RMB to turn it on then you can equip as clothes.
Better Ruins
Better Crates + Storage Controllers
Bricklayers - Colored brick autism
Ceramos - Tile glazing autism
Millwright - More wind power
More Classes - exclusive recipes disabled. Ignore those when choosing
Primitive Survival - A bunch of things that should be in the base game
Rivers - Adds rivers and an infinite supply of water based mechanical power. Going downstream is fast, going upstream is miserable without
Joy of Sailing - Adds half decent sailboats that help you navigate rivers.
Joy of Painting - Allows you to upload 32x32 pixel pornography directly to the server.
All the mods that add material variants of blocks
>The game update is 2 weeks old, what mods are missing?
Expanded Foods - Update expected soon
Xskills - update expected not soon. I've done what I can to mitigate the absence of that one blacksmithing skill.
Wild Farming - This guy has to be bullied into maintaining his mods
Wildcraft/Herbarium - A giant mod that is a compatibility nightmare that has inexplicably been sectioned off into multiple smaller mods and is typically only updated in time for the next big dev update to come out.
Those mods that add varieties of creatures - More RAM overhead for no functional value and not up to date anyways.

OH SHIT A MOTHER FUCKING
POKEMON THREAD
WHATCHA
PLAYIN?
CATCHIN?
BREEDIN? not like that
PLAYIN A ROM HACK? SHARE IT HERE!
MAKIN A ROM HACK? SHARE IT HERE!
Yes a Pokemon thread, that means it's time to fuck them all Catch em all! And by that I mean box em and breed em for perfect evs and ivs and all that garbage I never bothered with because that sounds like no fun for me. But I get the appeal to autism. Why not also talk about what Pokegirls you like while you're here too?
I started playing Brilliant Diamond for the Switch recently and it got me in a real hankerin mood for some more pokemon. It has some QOL stuff like the auto EXP share for grindin, the grand underground for finding mons, and letting them follow you in the field along with some flavor text in battles when they have a really high affinity for you. OH, also they got rid of HM slaves and just let you use the skills right from your pokegear thing which is welcome.
Prior to this I played a few here and there like Black and White, the sequels, Diamond, and way back when Ruby and what not, but I really think I'm in the mood for some Romhacks and a nuzlocke or two. The most recent hack I played was Pokemon R.O.W.E which was an open world Emerald hack which was pretty fun. I still have that save tooling around and will pick it back up soon. I like that ones that let you pick from a selection of mons to start the game with, even if that selection was a bit odd. I enjoy keeping my teams nice and trim and just pick mons I like rather than any particular selection. Makes it seem more personal and fun for me, plus less grinding.
Enjoy a random selection of Pokemon stuff from my folders in no particular order for the OP.
NOW TALK ABOUT POKEMON
There is nothing else like starting a new world and just surviving. I like to go into a survival game and usually build a 2x2 house if its possible. I think survival games is a genre that is unfairly shat on. Yes there are alot of shitty early access survival open world crafting games but theres also a few good ones. I havent played them all but i think i can give you a fair assessment of the ones ive played.
Im just going to go from top to bottom on steamcharts because i dont remember every single fucking game ive played.
>Rust
Now thats a fun ass game, sometimes. The problem with the game is that massive time requirement needed to be put into it. It doesnt really matter if you somehow select a community server where theres a limit on how many people can team together because at the end the day the only thing that matters is how much time someone is willing to spend on the game. You may think, hmmm im going to play for 20 hours straight on wipe day but there will ALWAYS be someone else who will play longer than you. I've had alot of enjoyment playing the game but its a massive waste of time. Even as a NEET i felt like it was difficult to compete and i had all the time in the world. The most enjoyment i found in the game was back when blueprints was a thing in 2016 or so. And i think the most fun you can have in the game is at the start of the wipe with bow and arrows. The game just becomes really unfun with guns. Also a negative with the game is that characters are tied to your steam account and theres a chance that either you will become a niglet,asian or white. And you cant change thats due to Garry Niggmans retarded ideology which is something akin of "we are all the same" hippie leftist nonsense.
>7 days to die
I felt like a retard playing it. I got overwhelmed by the amount of skills and i had no idea what the fuck to do. So i ended up in some sort of supermarket before i went up a hill and tried to build a base which i couldnt figure out how to do and then i quit. I'd like to give this a try again when it releases out of early access next month.
>Ark Survival Evolved
The start of the game is actually quite fun. You start taming some small dinosaurs and you level up and unlock new things. Eventually things stop being fun and starts being repetitive because there really isnt anything else to do after that except go into like 3-4 caves on the map and collect artifacts which you can then use to summon bosses. Now get this. To do bosses you need to tame and BREED alot of dinosaurs and that in itself is a fucking pain in the ass grind. The game can be fun when you play it for the first time and tame dinosaurs for the first time but after that it just becomes repititve and boring. I only played 1 map but what i remember is that there where 4 or so different biomes with different animals (excluding the caves) that you just went to and built a new base and tamed the animals in that area. Not a survival game i recommend.
>The forest
Well its a game thats fun but can get boring really fast due to the low amount of content. I've played it alot and it usually takes around 5 or so hours to grow bored of the game. Once you've done the story you've done the story. The caves are fun, doing them the first time and after that its just a chore. I mean who wants to go do some boring caves again? I hate the shitty grind in the game because you are supposed to build some sort of wooden fortress so that at night the attacking cannibals cant kill you but getting the resources is a massive pain in the ass because you need a fuckton of wood which you can only transport 2 logs at once unless you have a log sled and even then its a chore because you have to drag the gay fucking wood sled. I remember at one point i had a chainsaw and even then with another player we still spent hours just fucking chainsawing trees to build a base. If you ever play the game then either play it solo or with someone thats never played it before. Thats the most fun you'll get from the game. Though i think playing with other random people is fun. Its just fun trying to survive every night with more and more cannibals trying to fuck your base up
>Green Hell
Pretty difficult to setup a base in the start off the game due to alot of "advanced mechanics" that were confusing. For me it was basically a race to just setup something which i almost always failed at because i seemed to die from some stupid fucking infection right before i could set something up. After you actually set something up the game becomes easier and therefore alot more fun. You will probably die if you're not "prepared" for every type of encounter. Its pretty annoying at first but gets trivial later on when you know how to handle wounds and infections. One thing i disliked about the game was that i didnt really feel like building anything more than a starter base because you just kept travelling to new locations for the story so it was pretty useless to build anything else.
>Sunkenland
Asset flip trash. You start on a island and you're surrounded by other islands. You can go underwater and collect scrap or whatever shit is in the water buildings. You can build a boat and go other islands or kind of like floating raft bases where npcs are and you can fight them. That sucked aswell because the npcs either just run in a straight line after you or just try to snipe you from a long way. I cleared my first island with just a spear and i remember there being a ranged guy but even he sucked at doing anything. Basically like Waterworld (equally mediocre and shit).
>Stranded Deep
I've tried playing this game several times throughout the years but i've always thought that it was super boring and ended up quitting after 10 or so minutes of playing it.
I was thinking about including The Planet Crafter and Subnautica in this list but im not really sure if you can call them survival games?
Some survival games that looked interesting but i never played
>Scum
>Project Zomboid
>Valheim
>Conan Exiles
>Night Of The Dead
>Abitotic Factor
>Eco
>Survival: Fountain Of Youth
>Subsistence
>Volcanoids
>Breathedge
>Mist Survival
>Forever Skies
>Medieval Dynasty (not quite sure you can call this a survival game though?)
>DYSMANTLE
What are your thoughts on the survival genre?
What are some games you went into with little/no expectations but ended up loving every part of it? Likewise, what are some games you had very high expectations for but had to watch them wither away as you realized the game was terrible?
>had zero expectation for Tetris 99, thought it was just a lame cash grab meant to take advantage of the battle royale meme
>now one of my favorite vidya and will remain active for years
>was excited for Metroid Dread, the last game I actually paid money for
>as the game went on i became more and more disappointed at how awful it controlled, how bad the map was, and how very not good it actually was
Fucking goodwill has nothing but Madden and shitty xbone one gaems.
I remember finding awesome stuff in olden times.
Some of my coolest finds:
>MGS2 and MGS3 for 5 bucks each.
>Unreal Tournament III (PS3) for 1 sponduli
>Crash 3 for 15 bucks
>A PS1 with tenchu for 20
>A stack of PS2 games for 40 (included games like Ace Combat, SSX3. Ratchet and Clank, War of Monsters and more)
Now it couldn't be more over.
...And this is what I like to call the nintendo shitcube,
And the reason I call it the nintendo shitcube, because
IS A PIECE OF FUCKKEN SHIT!!
One of the things thats quite annoying is when you talk to someone about an old game and you start to notice that the person you are talking to is just parroting something. You'll notice phrases,words,sentences being almost exactly the same. Kind of like deja-vu. And something that has happened several times is me coming across a video essay on youtube (which i never watch) and seeing the exact same opinion expressed in that video. So for instance a shitty medicore game called Mad Max i recently played. Another example would be Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days. Another shitty game being praised simply because youtubers says its a hidden gem or some masterpiece that everyone somehow forgot or ignored bla bla bla. Its just very interesting because you could simply go back into the past by looking at old reviews to see how everyone thought of the game. The worst part about this is that normalfags cannot think for themselves. Whatever the youtuber says the normalfag repeats. So now these games are considered to be somewhat good with normalfags which doesnt even make any fucking sense. Common thing i see is that alot of people that have these opinions say something like
>oh i played this in my childhood
or something like that. So they obviously have some sort of bias towards it already. Just because you played a shitty game as a kid doesnt make the game good. Fucking retards.
Oh and i almost forgot to mention No Man's Sky. Remember that shitty game? Well now its considered a redemption arc something something. Basically some faggot youtuber made a video about how the developers are innocent and didnt deserve the hate and how the game is actually good now and now every dumb fucking normalfag parrots that shit.
I think i could maybe include Spec Ops The Line here aswell. I dont think anyone thought of it as more than a mediocre third person shooter when it released but in the past couple of years theres been a massive shift in opinion on how its somehow this DEEP game. The pretentiousness. These people sound exactly like the art people that pretend there is somehow some hidden meaning or something DEEP in some piece of shit. Its annoying because these are clearly not good games and yet people come to believe they are good because other people said so.
Here have a picture of the DEEEEEEEEP thought process behind the retarded pretentious developers behind Spec Ops The Line. Wow so DEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
It's that time of the year again. This should have been setup a week ago.

Please mention if anything's missing in the thread.
Post your expectations, what you think about what's shown and anything else on your mind.
I like getting PS2 games because they usually come with thick, fully colored manuals and they are very satisfying to open.
My copy of War of the Monsters came with a cool poster and it's really cool.
I also like my MGS Legacy Collection copy which has a MGR:R ad on the manual. It didn't come with the artbook it's supposed to come with but I got if for relatively cheap.
I'm going to be honest. I'm not very good with horror games.
I do enjoy the thrill of being scared. The Silent Hill franchise, for example, I can be both scared by and intrigued enough to make me want to continue playing.
There are some games that I find to stressing to play though. Laugh all you want but the multitasking in the FNAF games makes me want to close the game. Of course, the jumpscares aren't scary at all and you get used to them very quickly, That's where this new fan game comes in which ramps the scare factor up to 11. I've tried but I just can't force myself to play it. It's too scary.
Also I've never played Ao Oni. I should give it a try.
Post your favorite arcade machines.
If you could pick 5 to put in your man cave, Which would you pick?
I can't decide myself. I would love these 5 mostly because of nostalgia and their varied controls which covers a tons of games but I'm also missing a regular cabinet and DDR.
Fug...
I would've loved being a part of a 90s small videogame dev team.
I guess it's technically still possible now but it's much harder to find a group of like-minded people and most projects just happen through discuck nowadays.
I like the idea of getting with a handful of cool guys and work on a cool game in an office filled with snacks and arcades (no girls or fagshit allowed).
How about you? Is this your ideal scenario if you became a gamedev?
Ask ITT whatever you feel like asking that's related to videogames; anything that doesn't deserve its own thread, nebulous denominator notwithstanding.
Why are the PS2 controllers such a cheap Chinese piece of shit? I've got two of them lying around and both of them are ridden with issues. Joystick drift, shoulder buttons caving in after a press, face buttons not working, broken D-pads; the thing falls apart the moment you lay an eye on them.
The original Dualshock, while uncomfortable, was well built and meant to last long, and for once isn't plagued with any of the above. It'd be a no brainer given how the PS2 is compatible with PS1 controllers, but there are some games which forces you to use the PS2 controller and its "features".
What am I supposed to do, buy a bunch of PS2 controllers and throw them away every 3 games? How easily can they be repaired, or at least fiddled with to work a little longer? Even if I were to track down some obscure conversion dongle for the PS2 I'd still not be able to play the games that use the pressure sensitive buttons (MGS, Silent Hill, Siren).
Palworld got a thread so fuck it. I want to talk about HellDivers 2.
This shit wasn't even on my radar until a friend said to check it out. I checked out of gameplay vids and it looked fun, sure enough I'm having a blast.
I feel like this is the Starship troopers game we were supposed to get with it being just as campy as it should be. It also feels like they took inspiration from warhammer 40k as well considering the bots have a scout walker.
Guns are fun to use, they could use a tiny buff but I can live with them they way they are. The secondaries all have their uses like the Autocannon being a good slapper and the Railgun being great at getting rid of the big guys. It gets hectic really fast on the harder difficulties and you really need to solid snake your way around the levels unless you want to be drowning in bugs and bots.
So far there are only 2 factions but it looks like there might be at least 4. Each completely change the way you play with the bugs being the unstoppable horde with the designated wallbreaker units like the charger, the bile spewers to bust you when you've bunkered up. Then there is bots. They shoot back, call in support and really seem like a worse threat. There is a current defend order against them and it's an absolute meat grinder. I love the way their eyes light up when they spot you, it casts a glow and looks nice and intimidating. The game has a ton of little details like your soldiers cries becoming more panicked as more enemies come and you are running low on resources, or out of stims. They cackle with glee when you are going full auto on a machinegun or say retarded shit when they get their legs blown off.
There is a cash shop, but not really. You can get all the currency in games and there is a "premium" progression but all the armor is functionally the same and everyone I've talked with agree the the guns are side grades at best or just kinda shit.
This was more a random stream of through rather than a coherent thread but here it is. Talk about Helldivers, or shit on it to your hearts content.

World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria event derailed by frog exploit

>an old tactic popped up that’s practically derailed the event. On the Timeless Isle zone, there are frogs that spawn infinitely. Unlike most spawn points, the frogs spawn instantly after being killed, allowing coordinated teams to endlessly kill frogs without a break.
>These frogs (like all mobs in the Remix event) were dropping Bronze coins, Threads, and even Lesser Charms of Good Fortune. The charms became the sticking point, as for every 10 collected allows players to fulfill a repeatable quest for the game’s factions, and each turn-in awards a small chest for the event which comes with Threads, gems, and other event-specific goodies.
>Players farmed these frogs until their stats were ENORMOUS and some players could almost one-shot heroic raids. Most notably, one player had over 7 million HP (for reference, most tanks in Retail WoW have around 1.2-2 million).
Vanillaware is hiring for a new fantasy action RPG

Turn-based 4X fantasy strategy game, ENDLESS Legend, is free on Steam

This CRPG suddenly came out and is little talked about. Its a modernized take on Ultima games of the early 90s.
The premise is you are a mercenary who has been hired by a noble to look for his daughter on a backwater island. On the way here the ship you are traveling on gets attacked by a sea monster and you ended up stranded on an island full of mutated monsters. On your way to the next town you meet some survivors who make up your party and find out that the town had been taken over by murderous lunatics. You help the displaced townsfolk to liberated the city from... the fish men? That's right, the adventure you find yourself in inserts parts of the Cthullhu mythos into the original fantasy world. Instead of spoiling more of the partly obvious story let's talk about the stats system. Instead of leveling up stats and pick skills like the last 20 years, because Diablo 2 has done it this way you pick feats from a few trees available to your class. These improve your stats, proficiency with certain weapons and give you access to spells and what the game calls maneuvers. This makes for different build process. Combat is naturally turn based and resembles a smaller scale version of Warhammer. You place your party in preparation phase. Then every turn has a movement and combat phase for each character on the screen. Another thing you spend much time on is the resting system. Invest the right amount of food and pick from various activities if your party hasn't been stomped into smash burgers recently, you get various bonuses like additional arrows.
The biggest strength of the game is the way the way it handles the presentation of the narrative. Instead of listening to NPCs autistically blathering exposition to you, you have to piece some of the world building together yourself. A good example is a side quest you find later in the game. Your party meets some random bald man in the middle of nowhere who seeks help for his master, a sorcerer living in a tower with a bunch of clones of himself. What's his problem? Fuck me if spoil this. Its probably more Lovecraftian stuff in a basement. What's more interesting is a "ascension machine" in the tower you can examine. The direction tell the clone about to ascend to lay himself into the machine. Pass all skill checks and you find out that it is actually a crematorium for disposing of the clones. Directly below it after a disgustingly hard optional battle you'll also discover were the ash of the "ascended" clones go to. Anyway, main reason for this thread is that there is hardly any information (including walkthroughs) outside of the steam forums and the dev's discord. The game is really good despite its flaws and some bugs.
We asked 100 anons "what makes you instantly drop a game?"
I not talking about games where you're a misunderstood "villain" who turns out to be the "good guy" only because of plot reasons. I mean games where you're an unapologetic evil person and the game doesn't try to shy away or ridicule the player for it. The reason I bring this up is beause I've been recently thinking about the games released during the late seventh gen, like Spec Ops: The Line and Bioshock Infinite, where the games outright ridicule the player for having played the game all the way to the end with a message that the player needs to "kill himself" in order to "atone" for the "sin" of having played a violent video game where you kill NPCs, and just how disgusting the entire concept of. Why make a game where you "trick" the player into playing the game the way you wanted them to play it, and then ridicule the player for having played the game exactly the way you wanted them to play it?
So how about listing off some games where you are the villain, the game doesn't feel guilty over that fact, and the developers have fun with the player taking on the role of being a bad person doing bad things?
Hot, isn't it?
Was this the last Tales game with actual dungeons? I know they were easy but at least they were trying. Everything after is just linear and boring.
FEATURING RAIDEN II, GAIAPOLIS, EXVANIA AND MORE LATER
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 play some fucking arcade games. 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?
Forever, as I'm switching to a rolling release format. I have the whole 3.7TB MAME set and a bunch of No-Intro sets on top of that, so just ask for whatever game you like and I'll upload it so we can play with our joysticks together. (no homo)
>How do I play them?
If you can't figure it out, bitch at me and I'll post a text file.
>Where da ROMs at?

>Bomberman clone with flails
>yes, flails
>fucking flails
What are some of your favorite skateboarding games? Which Tony Hawk is the best? Is Skate a good series? Do modern skate games still invoke the same amount of fun as the old ones if they don't have AC/DC's "TNT" blaring at max volume?
I played a ton of Pro Skater 4 on exbawks, very fond memories of trying endlessly to impress the bums and going all over the place on Alcatraz. Getting sick combos only to completely fuck it up at the end. Wondering what Tony Hawk is up to now.

I've mostly seen this argument thrown out there when it comes to tank controls in survival horror games, about how it's a "dated" design concept, but actually going back and playing vidya from 1995-2005 shows that tank controls were actually widely used an accepted control scheme across all "action" games. Granted, it's a bit more "unruly" than the modern adaption of dual analog controls, but every game I've played that uses the "tank controls" scheme seems to play fine and is still well designed. This brings forward the further question of what is it that actually makes gameplay design "dated" in it's concept. Is it just the fact that people are so "used" to a specific style of gameplay and cannot wrap their head around the fact that not every game plays the same? Or is it some elitist mindset that "certain" gameplay styles must all be played in a specific way and any deviation from that is essentially heresy or "Doesn't belong"? Or is it something else that I'm missing entirely?
Bing Bing Wahoo multiplayer like Nintendo never intended, feat. script errors, stolen mods from dicksword and jank.
