Barotruma for the honkmother the honkening shall continue

Tum,

I’ve never gotten past the second (or maybe third) zone of Barotrauma. usually I play with my brother, and we have a slew of mods that add new equipment and let you uninstall and reinstall equipment on subs, and we end up turning a rustbucket into a profitable cargo hauler with storage racks in every conceivable space and a wire up controller to manage the reactor for us. have you ever gotten to endgame content?

Yep a couple of times never completed the campaign tho I’ve gotten 600hrs in the game I tend to troll around and dabble in some griefing I mainly play on mutitplayer servers

Just finished Subnautica for the first time. That was a hell of a satisfying ending. Good game throughout.

Picked Factorio back up for now. Making another go at it on a fresh start. Maybe this time I’ll push through and actually launch a rocket.

thatWeirdGuy,

Mmm, crack cocaine of video games 😃 I always get bogged down after the blue science. This time I got yellow working too, but my logistics is crap. I kind of dislike making a main belt, so I make it more complicated for myself than it needs to be

That’s how it goes. The blue science wall is real.

My last run was the first time I pushed past blue. I just barely managed to get yellow and purple going but I overextended my base, everything was falling apart from resource bottlenecks, and the biters had spread so much that pushing out to new resource patches was like pulling teeth. I gave up while trying to get a fresh oil supply up and running.

Current run I just got red and green science going, and trains and my car are ready to go. Iron is starting to run out. Fixing to leave my starter base to go liberate some more iron and coal from the natives.

I finally finished Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, after nearly 300 hours. Holy fuck, there is so much video game in that god-damn video game. It just keeps going for so much longer than it needs to. Then on top of that they went and added several new features like raiding, and a roguelike game mode which I enjoyed.

It’s a mediocre game, but it’s a fun time if you’re like me and just enjoy exploring big maps, collecting items, upgrading gear, etc. I enjoyed the DLC, but I’m not planning on picking up Dawn of Ragnarök because the mythical storyline just doesn’t interest me.

Been playing KP Liberation on Arma 3 again with a group of friends. It’s always a blast and older games just have such a nice feel to them.

  • I’m on Lvl 15. I have unlocked less than 1% of all the game awards. My account is 0,77 years old
  • My battle stats are crap without a doubt (even more so when compared to the strongest players), but I only target weak players who have left their accounts ages ago so it doesn’t matter much
  • I’m in a company and a faction that provides capacity bonuses to the item amount I can buy through traveling
  • I have unlocked stock market. I make some small money through that sometimes. I also do bank investments
  • I have set up a private island rent with faction friends. They rent it for me. It provides happiness and other benefits
  • I sell random stuff from time to time. Plushies is my biggest income
  • I participate in weekly chains (it’s a faction fight system) with my faction friends as a token of my appreciation for being aboard with them on our common journey
  • I have pretty much mastered the two first new crime types (provided through the new crime system of TORN) - small thefts and bootlegging. Working on the graffiti crime as the next goal. Card skimming is probably my most favorite crime type at this point

Since OP didn’t post a link with referral I’ll post my own 😉 (you get merits if someone reaches lvl 10 hint hint) www.torn.com/2965724

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

I wanted to tell about the game while not making it too beneficial for me 🙂

mathemachristian,

Naaah make it beneficial why not? Plus merits are kinda important

If someone joins without referral that’s a merit lost to everyone (this is very sad)

Selmafudd,

It I ever recommend something with a referral link I just offer both links.

The game giving me some Ogame vibes, is there any p2w?

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

Pay to win?

There is a subscription system I think. Gives a bigger energy pool, higher energy regeneration and I think it also gives points. It can be bought with game money as well, I think.

Haven’t looked into it myself.

mathemachristian,

Donator status does offer perks beneficial to game play. Its 5$ a month. But not p2w in the sense of the more money you sink in, the easier it is to advance.

Just upgraded my home internet from a spotty 50 Mbps with lots of packet loss to a 250 Mbps with cheaper monthly costs. So most of the time I’m just downloading games for the heck of it. I might not need to use my HDD to backup games anymore as the download speed is the same as my external HDD speeds ♪⁠~⁠(⁠´⁠ε⁠`⁠ ⁠)

On my 2nd New Playthrough of Elden Ring. I was a STR/FTH build in my first playthrough, so I decided to use the build opposite to that, DEX/INT. I love the Moonveil and the Dark Moon Greatsword, but the Godslaying Greatsword has a good place in my heart. That, and funny dragon lightning. I’m going back to STR/FTH on NG+.

On a side note, beating Malenia for the 2nd time is satisfying as hell

Deep Rock Galactic is my current game. It’s super fun with friends and offers a decent challenge. The slapper of a soundtrack is also a bonus. I love seeing bits of bugs fly in every direction while Dance of the Dreadnaught is rocking my ears.

Also, I just got the Fat Boy overclock. Now the caves have a healthy green glow

TheLongPrice,

Even fun with randoms tbh, everyone’s so friendly

I’ve recently upgraded my pc and I’ve been playing Anno 1800 with all season pass. I can play that game for 10 hours straight. I really have to tell myself to stop. There is just always something to do in that game, I just love it.

citrusface, do games w TORN - Text-based criminal game

I played this for a while - it’s def fun. I will vouch.

I have been trying to beat a 2nd run in Slay the Spire. I also have been failing to get past round 15 in that endless mode in Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate.

Guapomole,

my advice is stack attack cards in act 1, while specializing for specific bosses. while that’s going on, pay attention to relics or cards that might support a build/theme. the rest of the game, try to refine that theme to make it happen as reliably as possible.

also, speed is better then building up towards massive strength.

I’m between games right now but I just finished and did a bunch of the extra stuff in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.

@uncle "It's New To You" lol, hope you get your money back.

This “New” game was in the same order. Looks like they fished it out of a dumpster.

AeroLemming,

$110??? That’s over 15 hours of labor at minimum wage. Holy shit.

Trainguyrom,

That’s about a day of work after taxes at my professional wage that I negotiated my workplace up to!

lapommedeterre,

Report this to your credit card as damaged.

I bought a new game. I brought it to the counter and paid for it. They opened the display box I’d handed them, they pulled a cartridge out of an envelope from a drawer and put it in the display box and handed that to me.
What the fuck?

uncle,

Something about it just seems illegal! Or maybe violating some FTC regulation, right? It’s infuriating, nonetheless.

Triple_B,

Every game on display has to have the display copy opened. The game itself is kept behind the counter, the case is put out for display. It’s to prevent theft. You got the last copy of the game in the store. It socks, but that’s why. When I worked there I let people know it was the last copy and that the game had been opened but was still “new”. Gave them a chance to change their mind. Alas, corporate doesn’t offer discounts on display copies, and employees have no power to lower the price.

caseyweederman,

Every copy on the shelf was a display box

uncle,

“Open box” isn’t the same as “new” and it shouldn’t be allowed to falsely sell “open box” as “new”

somethingsnappy,

No. There is just no way it is the last copy so often. Also, there is no reason to do that. Laminate a card with all the box info. Keep unboxed, sealed copies behind the counter. Voila! With about 5 minutes of work I’ve just solved the entire problem!

Triple_B,

Tell corporate, it’s their plan. And yes, you’d be surprised how often it was, in fact, the last copy. If it’s not a major release, there’s usually only a few copies in the store, sometimes literally a single copy.

caseyweederman,

Not blaming you. But it’s really, really bad, and the fact that it’s sold at full price as “new” is disingenuous.

Triple_B,

No argument from me.

ZephyrXero,

Standard practice at game stores for over 20 years. They do this to prevent theft. Before this policy got instituted we’d have angry people showing up with empty cases because someone slipped it out of the box and then out of the store

caseyweederman,

“Why are these box stores failing?”
Stop fucking punishing me for what the thieves do. An opened box is not new.

Ashtear,

Still had customers show up with empty boxes because my associates would forget to put the game in and the customer would walk out without checking 🙄
