I've been playing Baldur's Gate...2. I just beat Baldur's Gate 1 and moved right on to 2. Immediately there was a major noticeable change in the scenario design in a very good way when I got to BG2. Dungeons are now puzzles to be solved rather than just marching through mobs of enemies. Chapter 2 lets you go nuts and achieve an explicit objective by any means you like, and it makes at least three of those options pretty obvious. I'm now in Chapter 3 and hope to have finished the game and moved on to BG3 before the PS5 port of BG3 comes out. I'm really enjoying it overall, but sometimes, even on easy mode, it just feels like bullshit. I just took on a boss of a dungeon who was impervious to basically everything I could throw at him, and I just had to reload a previous save and try different spells until I could finally break through his defenses, which I don't think is the greatest game design in the world, given that there was no foreshadowing that I should be prepared for that. Likewise, in that same dungeon, there were vampires and wraiths that can energy drain me and de-level my characters; there's one specific way out of this situation as well, and I once again had to reload an earlier save and just have those spells ready to go to solve that problem after knowing via save scumming what's around the corner. Not only that, but a negative for this game compared to its predecessor is that it respawns enemies in dungeons. So when your only option for forward progress is to rest so that you can equip or cast absolutely critically necessary spells and then you get bombarded by another mob of enemies, it can be super tedious.
Shapez looks like it has the same problem as factorio, where expanding outwards is always possible and easier than micro-optimizations. That’s not the kind of gameplay I’m looking for.
Mam za sobą być może zbliżone doświadczenie: pisałam magisterkę już bliżej czterdziestki, nie lubię i mam trudność z pisaniem, no i… było ciężko.
Co mi pomogło:
-mind mapy
-nie wiem, może to oczywiste, ale apka do bibliografii (korzystałam z JabRef) i ogólnie porządek w papierach
-to może być bardzo specyficzne dla mnie, ale: jak miałam trudność, żeby ruszyć z kolejnym fragmentem, to pisanie na papierze i dopiero potem wklepywanie do kompa (plus: mniej rozpraszaczy ;))
-bez lania wody, przyzwoitą polszczyzną, z konsekwentnym formatowaniem tekstu. Każda osoba w komisji wyraziła na swój sposób coś pomiędzy ulgą a stwierdzeniem, że dobrze im się moją pracę czytało. To po części specyfika uczelni, poprzeczka tam dosyć nisko, ale szanowanie osoby czytającej to zawsze plus :)
-wizyta u psychiatry po antydepresanty oraz papier, żeby odsunąć termin złożenia pracy. Obie te rzeczy bardzo mi pomogły
-just in case, bo mi to mocno podniosło stres na ostatnim etapie: pisałam na oprogramowaniu linuksowym, a pracę trzeba było złożyć w formacie wordowskim. W rezultacie masa rzeczy mi się rozjechała, musiałam na szybko naprawiać, było stresująco, a mogło nie być.
Za to na impostora nie mam żadnego pomysłu. Anywho, współczuję. Trzymaj się!
wpadłem na to, ale niestety nie przejdzie; promotor już mi dał do zrozumienia, że pracę zweryfikuje merytorycznie co do słowa (dotychczasowe podrozdziały już tak sprawdzał), a recenzenta trafiłem takiego, który podobno nawet źródła weryfikuje
Oczywiście zależy to od wydziału i konkretnych ludzi, ale pewnie trochę straszą. Z tego co słyszałem od znajomych recenzenci nawet doktoraty często co najwyżej przeglądają.
Napisz najlepiej jak możesz w tym czasie i tyle - spora część wątpliwości to ‘impostor syndrome’, a już napisany tekst może być ci łatwiej poprawiać niż od razu napisać dzieło idealne.
Stwórz sobie szkielet, konspekt, zasadniczą tezę i do niej brnij. Albo rozciągłą analizę tego co było w tych książkach ;). Może też warto pogadać z jakimiś doktorantami z tego samego kierunku - na pewno coś doradza.
Are you sure it has to be keyboard-only? Would a mouse or cheap touchpad work with your off hand, so long as the games don’t require fast response or fine accuracy?
Slay the Spire is a mouse-driven deck-builder.
Crypt of the Necrodancer is a rhythm-based roguelike that uses only four keys to play.
I found Saints Row 4 a fun super hero video game and the powers of super speed and flight made traveling fun over conventional means. The side quests were something I enjoyed too.
Yeah, Saint Row 3 had the super powers only in the DLC. That is my favorite Saints Row. Although I’ve only played 3 and 4. The Genki side missions were my favorite in 3.
The genki side missions were great. I just remember going into SR3 not expecting a lot and then ended up finishing the game (rare for me) and actually enjoyed it a lot.
I don’t think I ever finished one of the GTA games, I usually got bored fairly quickly.
Sr3 was the Skyrim to Sr2’s Morrowind. Shinier but simplified. A good entry game to get to Sr2 imo.
(Personally I wasnt a fan of Sr4 because it felt like it was just a really expensive dlc. Didn’t really add anything to Sr3 imo, but since there is evidence of people liking it here, I’m not going to come after it too hard. It might be a great entry title for getting to Sr3 to get to Sr2 eventually, and imo that’s good enough for me to be happy about it getting mentioned)
It wasn’t, it’s dig-n-rig. That said, I really need to redownload Starbound, it’s been a while since I’ve played it but I remember it being a lot of fun too
This might not be exactly what you’re looking for (as it can be a little rogue-like), but it’s a game that when I looked for similar things, led me to Dredge: Sunless Sea
You’re a ship captain trying to survive in Victorian era London, after London was stolen by bats and taken to the shores of the Unterzee, an underground sea filled with some very strange creatures, people and locations. This means exploring and finding new trade routes or ways to survive while uncovering the stories of the islands you find, those of your crew, and the larger world.
There’s a sequel, Sunless Skies, where you command a space going train exploring the heavens. It’s a bit easier and has some good quality of life improvements, but I prefer the setting of Seas.
The World Ends With You (or the sequel, Neo: The World Ends With You) is an action RPG that does away with random encounters. Battles are initiated by you scanning for enemies and picking fights in your own, you can even lower your level or string multiple fights together for more rewards. The original is 2D (and best played in a DS/2DS/3DS but if you don’t have one there’s also a single-screen version on Switch) and the sequel is 3D on Switch and Steam.
Since you named Octopath Travellers 2, I’ll recommend Cosmic Star Heroine. It’s an old school turn-based indie JRPG that’s charming, fun and short. As a matter of fact all games by Zeboyd fit that description.
Creeper World 4 is fun and not terribly long. It is basically a tower defense game, but instead of guarding a set path toy build towers to defend against, then push back, physics simulator liquid that kills whatever it touches.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, you play a small group of ninjas (and a samurai) in a top down stealth game. Takes place in feudal Japan and you assassinate your way through the plot.
Superhot. FPS with a weird plot about VR and a rogue computer program. The gimmick is if you stop moving, time stops around you (almost), allowing you to slow down and plan.
Lastly and is a game called Soccer Kids Alpha. It is literally the alpha version of the game so it is SUPER short. It is a turn based soccer game, but without the grid based system that some other games use. The alpha is great and we’ll worth the very short time it takes to finish
