What’s your concern? I’ve never heard any issues with purchasing anything on VPN. In fact, it’s recommended to save money by getting around geo-pricing

SymbioteSynapse,

It is against the steam subscriber agreement to use a VPN. Particularly if you’re using it to get around a region restricted game. Will they check and catch you? Probably not, but they can. It’s definately not recommended though.

HawlSera,

Getting around geo-pricing is a bannable offense

Very nice and seems fast

In the next weeks I’ll go in an authoritarian country so I can test if it works good

Seems trustworthy even if free, but if using for p2p it’s a bit abusing them, maybe donate a bit via liberapay

    That’s exactly how the original worked too, other than the manual.

    Though manuals in those days were more lore than tutorial.

    Acceleration of Suguri 2 has a tutorial that is just 9 pages talking about the games systems telling you about how specific buttons are for what attacks and which button combinations and other stuff, but it never tells you what those buttons actually are, it just says they are the attack A, attack B, dash button, hyper button, super button. It took me an hour of playing the game to figure out what all of the buttons were.

    NateSwift,

    This is super common with fighting games. The expectation is that people will be playing on all kinds of input devices, many of them custom. I wonder if part of it comes from the older game’s tutorials being written for arcade cabinets where that’s how the buttons were actually labeled

    DracEULA, do gaming w How does multiplayer gaming fit into your life?

    I play usually with my spouse, and occasionally my brothers. With the former, we usually get pretty into ARPGs (PoE, Titan Quest, Van Helsing, older Diablo) or Don’t Starve Together. With my siblings it’s usually random stuff they suggest that’s not too complicated so we can catch up while we play.

    I used to do Overwatch, but the time commitment to stay good is just too much, and the games end up sucking more often than not. Haven’t touched OW2. TF2 is still fun, and I’ve been doing a bit of Sea of Thieves solo but occasionally interacting with other crews. Basically anything that involves playing with strangers is usually not worth the effort for me.

    Seems like a few people here have clearly never heard of Riseup: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riseup

    It’s a volunteer and donation run anarchist collective that has been around since 1999. They have fought a number of legal battles against governments to varying degrees of success.

    The people involved have close ties to basically everyone involved in Tor and should be regarded with the same level of trust (what ever that means for you). There’s also a lot of overlap with some core Debian contributors.

    That said, I wouldn’t use them for P2P other than occasional use. Or if you do, consider making a substantial monthly donation. It’s a lot of resources to pull from a small organisation at the expense of people who need their services for political organizing, which is their primary focus.

    The Binding of Isaac, just some drawings on the ground that don’t actually tell you anything.

    That game is very good at introducing concepts gradually though, and plenty of other things you'll discover by accident, as intended.

    I’ve been playing Divinity Original Sin 2 with my partner, we both never really got that far into it in the years we both owned it, so we’re trying to get more into it in anticipation of playing Baldurs Gate 3

    GolGolarion, do gaming w What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial?

    If you’ve never played Fear and Hunger, it’s really easy to assume that there’s no tutorial. At the very start of the game, a pack of angry dogs appears and mauls you to death. If you go through the front door, the pack of angry dogs follows you and mauls you to death. You can escape from the dogs in battle, but they’ll keep chasing you on the overworld until they maul you to death.

    The lesson the game wants to teach you is “Hey, don’t stick around and fight enemies that will maul you to death”, and “Hey, you should actually check out the side passages instead of the obvious way forward” because the dogs will not maul you to death if you dip into the side passage in the very first area. The game has a lot of such side passages that you need to look for later on that will save you so much grief, but you have no way but to intuit that this is something to look for in the first place after being mauled to death by dogs a few times.

    TwilightVulpine,

    Is there a reason why the dogs chase you down an entrance but not the other?

    GolGolarion,

    Angry dogs hate spooky basements i guess. It’s pretty haunted down there

    @chloyster
    Not a new game, but I've been replaying Undertale as part of a large randomized multiworld. Every item or big event I unlock turns into a random item or unlock for somebody else's game. And random items in their games are sent to me as random items in mine (or another game). It's called Archipelago, it's really fun and there are games you wouldn't expect to be supported (like The Witness). It's called Archipelago.

    chloyster,

    Oh cool! I’ve been really wanting to try out Archipelago but the setup for it all seems pretty involved. Still really want to give it a try sometime

    Gears of War 1 in online co-op. If you take the tutorial path instead of the right-into-the-game path, you can end up softlocked because it expects you to throw grenades at one point but doesn’t explain it.

    @gk99 @bermuda that's so stupid I hate when games don't explain random things

    @gk99 @bermuda I like that, games that do this should give you an option for a tutorial tho

    I’ve been going back to The Witcher 3 to play the DLCs.
    I finished Hearts of Stone and started Blood and Wine. I really enjoyed the former, but the change of atmosphere and setting of the latter is simply something else and it feels like a new game with how much content there is!

    Poopfeast420, (edited ) do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 20th

    Last act of Baldurs Gate 3. Damn, does this game have a ton of stuff in it.

    The third act is a bit of a disappointment though, compared to the first two. Not necessarily the storylines, or environment, but parts just seem unfinished, more glitches and bugs with quests, which is par for the course for Larian games I guess. It’s still great, and I’m thinking about doing a second playthrough eventually, but probably not before the Definitive or Enhanced Edition release in a year or something.

    I hope to finish it in the next couple of days, then play the recently released Quake 2 Enhanced release as a palate cleanser, before jumping into the next bigger game.
