Check craig’s list and FB market place for used parts and hardware. Did you save your old PC? You could still play older titles with it as well as some newer indie games that don’t need lots of processing power. If a new PC is a must, purchase the parts as you can afford them then assemble the machine once you have what you need.
Tried it out and didn’t see a point. Everything in the ocean is dangerous and you had no objectives.
So you could just stay on your ship forever.
I like to think I won the game that way
Edit: seems like people didn’t like my attempted to be funny comment about the game unfortunately not being my style. IMO that’s what we should have in gaming though, people going out of their comfort zone and trying many genres. I doubted I would like hades much but it became one of my all time favourites.
The point is to escape the planet. Its one of the scariest adventure games I’ve played before, super cool. Ive heard some people have gotten over underwater fears playing it too because of how strong the emotional reaction can be.
I wish my wife could play subnautica with me, as she likes swimming around and stuff but isn’t really “good” at video games, since she never played one until adulthood.
In Minecraft it’s mostly me doing the work while she does farming stuff. I once came back from a deep mining trip to see a once-empty field filled to the maximum with cows. We had a nice library afterward though.
I still haven’t beaten subnautica without cheating or taking shortcuts. Heck when I first downloaded it, it didn’t even have an ending yet.
That’s how my girlfriend is too lol. I’m kind of the one handling all the mechanical stuff when we play while she handles everything non too mechanical. I think she could figure it out if she set her mind to it, but I’m more than happy to help her out.
For beating the game, I’m not sure I could beat it to begin with. I think I’d get sidetracked and lose track of the story, even though I have a feeling it’s not too long
Happy New Year! I do love Subnautica myself, and I'm actually working on a building/creative playthrough rn with the large rooms that I've never used before, for fun (so much titanium!).
And if nothing else, I'm assuming you bought the game before the whole... whatever is going on right now with all that. You are clear to enjoy.
I ended up getting it through other means I’m not sure I’m allowed to mention (though I own an Xbox copy too), but a friend who checks these had a Steam Key from a while ago I guess that he just forgot to use it, so I guess I got a moral and legal copy. It’s a shame about Below Zero, I doubt I could pull luck like that again.
I hope the base building goes well! It’s definitely a therapeutic experience just sitting back and building
Hopefully they didn’t, as it just would be inacurate data. But yeah I think whomever made the graph just put top image search result and nobody in the publication cared enough to check… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
On a serious note, there’s a happy middle ground between my favorite genres and the highest rated games, and this is typically where I have the best experience.
Examples: Bayonetta, Guilty Gear Plus R, or more recently: Hi-Fi Rush.
Highest rated games, regardless of genres. (RDR2, The Last of Us, Portal… etc.)
Highest rated games, that happen to belong to my favorite genres. (Bayonetta, GGPR, Hi-Fi Rush… etc.)
Games that belong to my favorite genres, but aren’t necessarily highly rated. (Hellsinker., Soulstice, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax etc.)
Highest rating doesn’t guarantee I’ll like anything in layer 1, and not every game in layer 3 ends up being good enough. Layer 2 is the happy middle ground and the highest chance of finding games I’ll enjoy.
After trying the whole roster, I now have my eye on three: Order Sol, A.B.A., and Venom. Im still a total begginner, and trying to not put the game back in the shelf again like a few months back tho.
Still I do look at it highly because high-level gameplay looks awesome, and the music and story mode were quite good EDIT: I actually was planning to go just with Sol the first time I tried it, but yk, seeing xPhantom and all I had my mind blown
It’s one of those games where the power level is so high that almost the entire roster is viable. You really can’t go wrong with any of the 3 characters you named. All powerhouses in different ways.
I’m confused. I get the The Exorcist reference but I don’t get why it’s relevant here or why this person is going places where people can talk to them about the game if they don’t want people talking to them about the game.
The reference is an example of a flippant sort of response of answering the request, but with something lacking the depth the person was asking about.
He probably doesn’t mind talking about the game broadly, but it can be a bit much for someone to be annoying about saying it should have been a different genre that they would have enjoyed. I suppose your question could be flipped around, why attend a panel discussing doom if you don’t really care for doom?
I don’t think people would go to one unless they cared which is part of why I am confused. Out of context this just comes off as somebody bragging about being an ass to a random fan.
Let’s break it down. He was a game developer at a game developers conference…you know, where people are there to talk to and ask questions to game developers about the games they develop. He was there specifically to answer questions about his game and someone asked a stupid question about his game and got the answer to that question, because he was, again, participating in an event specifically to be asked questions specifically about his game that he developed and was at a game developers conference to talk about.
I appreciate your attempt to alleviate my confusion but you have really only covered what I already understood. I’m confused as to why this is something somebody would want to tell other people about. Why did they even agree to be on the panel if they were just going to be an ass to people who may have even paid money to stand in line and ask their pedantic questions? At the end of the day it really seems like somebody bragging about taking their annoyance out on a random fan.
This reminds me I’m on my first ascension run in Nethack… I should go kill Yendor.
Edit: eating green slimes turns you into a green slime and kills you?! You learn new ways to die every time. Anyway, I’ll leave your Stone Soup thread alone now and go cry in a corner.
Pathos Nethack Codec (basically Nethack rewrite for mobile support with some gameplay changes) was my second roguelike, after Pixel Dungeon. I was too stupid to search for guides so I played the game without ever knowing that eating certain corpses is always safe. I just kept dying of starvation.
My favorite start was a wizard, I loved figuring out how to use starting rings and scrolls to my advantage.
Yeah I’ve been playing for decades and still learning new things. Today, for instance, I learned that eating green slimes will melt your skin off and is uncurable.
I liked Pixel Dungeon, but there were some balancing issues deeper in the game that put me off it. That was a long time ago. I never got into Stone Soup because I felt like learning another Rogue/NH like game would be too much of a time investment at this point.
In fact I did, come to think of it, try to learn Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, and I adore it. Sadly it’s just open world with no direction, which doesn’t work for me. I need a clearly stated game goal to work towards. But it’s a cool game no doubt.

Damn Nethack is something else lol. At some point I tried to play it (not Pathos, the OG) and died to a floating eye that paralyzed me for a few dozen turns or something. Didn’t touch it ever since :D

I’m not the biggest fan of PD personally but I find Shattered Pixel Dungeon (the most popular fork, very active) pretty fun. It was actually the first traditional roguelike I’ve ever beaten (not counting 7DRLs)!

I tried that one too, and had the same experience! I like its character creator, the complexity, even the inventory system. But… I don’t know, the moment I find a safe base I lose any motivation to play. I’m not a survival girl after all.
I didn’t remember the graphics of Stone Soup to be so tight, though! It looks really good! Maybe I’ll give it a go after all. I’m usually an ASCII purist because I’m masochistic like that, but that looks pretty. :)
If you liked Pixel Dungeon then I highly recommend Shattered Pixel Dungeon! It has become the de facto official version of Pixel Dungeon under the care of Evan, who develops the game as his primary occupation. Evan has radically rebalanced the game and greatly increased its depth and character development, with new classes and subclasses, talent trees, and a vastly improved alchemy system!
As a big metal gear fan, I’ve been replaying the series and the writing in particular hasn’t aged well, any female character or anything related to them feels like it was written by a horny 12 year old. The series needs some major overhaul if it’s gonna go on, and a mostly naked jiggly sniper doesn’t help the series progress
