Hey I apparently already own this game, lol. So many humble bundle mysteries in here. Guess I know what I’m playing next!

I’ve had that happen a few times with Humble lol. It’s well worth giving a try, it’s a good few hours too play, especially if you like Point and clicks

Zahille7, do games w Video games where you get to kill US soldiers

Uh… I mean there’s Halo Wars, which lets you play as Covenant leaders in certain modes (in 2 there’s a DLC storyline where you play as the aliens again, but not against the humans). The UNSC is basically the US Army In Space.

Aside from that I’m not sure. There’s probably plenty of mods for other games though. Like GMod, there are tons of NPCs and such in the steam workshop, plenty of US military characters to choose from. You can then load into a map, set up a spawner (or spawn them in yourself), and start blasting. I did actually do something like this back when the George Floyd protests were going on: I went in the game, spawned in a bunch of cop NPCs and just started blasting and mowing them down.

It actually did feel pretty good, tbh.

bearboiblake,

Garry’s Mod is genuinely a pretty good idea, might give that a shot!

If you don’t PVP you will get PVE lobbies.

EndlessNightmare,

I very rarely play any sort of PvP. Is this game even reasonable to get if you are just going to play PvE?

@Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca avatar

No. Even after taking friendly actions over, and over, and over, the matchmaking system will eventually match you with people that PvP. This game is rust lite. I soloed a bombadier, started looting, and heard someone walking up. Said don’t shoot, I can share this loot with you, and the guy killed my anyway. Best guns and gun mods gone. Begin grinding for new materials to craft new guns, mods, and level them up.

Is Groombox actually that big or is it based on what the CEO says it is worth? I remember reading some ridiculous statements about their net worth.

eRac,

These are all public companies. Roblox is RBLX on the NYSE. It hit an all-time high of $141/share in September, and this infographic was probably produced then.

It’s now back down to $80/share, which is $56.8 billion in market cap.

Where’s Valve?

Decq,

On a list of non publicly listed companies I would imagine

squaresinger,

Also, I’m not sure if they really fit the bill, since probably most of their revenue comes from providing infrastructure, not games.

I'd argue that if a game doesn't have anything to nitpick at, it probably wasn't doing anything bold enough for me to truly fall in love with either.

Quetzalcutlass,

Hideo Kojima rewrote parts of Death Stranding 2 late in development because the beta testers were unanimous in praising it. He said something along the lines of if nobody hated it, he was playing things too safe.

Selgege,

I also read something about him saying something like that in an interview. I’ve not seen much of the actual game, but ironically it has still been accused of being too safe, in spite of what Kojima said

Selgege,

I get what you mean but at the same time, it’s not that big of a deal. Because if a game that is really complained about seems good to me, I may still include it because the reviews arent managing to convince me. Though realistically, I may fail to catch that.

As for the opposite case, where a game that passes the review stage turns out to not be so bold, well… tough luck. I mean it could still be good and be safe, like Mario Kart 8, and that isnt really a problem I feel.

jjjalljs, do gaming w After playing DCSS for two years I finally beat it

Congrats. I play a lot of crawl, and have pretty regularly since v0.16 or so. There’s been a lot of changes (there used to be food! Spells made you hungry!) but the core of it remains very good.

At one point I had a win with every species, but they added new ones and removed some since then.

Minotaur Berserker was my first win. Can’t go wrong with screaming and headbutting, I say.

Gargoyle Earth Elementalist was also fun. If you get Shatter online it can delete a lot of stuff outright. You just need another solution for flying stuff and jellies.

I think it’s an Ice spell now, but the one that takes a couple turns and then just kills the nearest creature was amazing. Did the extended endgame with that. Blew up so many pandemonium lords.

I don’t usually do the extended anymore. Hell is, appropriately, unpleasant. Pandemonium isn’t as bad, but there’s always the risk of popping in next to a very bad crowd.

Also the tomb can get fucked.

The ascent with the orb is usually pretty safe, with the occasional heart stopper. I’ve lost at least two dudes on the way up. One gargoyle ate a high damage spell from one of those hell sentinels. Should have blinked or fogged or something. One felid ate a pan lord’s chain lighting that was more than his max health.

Hm I’m rambling. Great game. Highly recommend.

catfeeder,

I play a lot of crawl, and have pretty regularly since v0.16 or so. There’s been a lot of changes (there used to be food! Spells made you hungry!)

I want to try older versions someday but the lack of QoL features from modern versions is scary. I still remember my Vine Stalker who was sent to Abyss by a elf necromancer with a chaos dagger that I overlooked in logs. I’m SO glad that distortion brands are now marked on screen.

If you get Shatter online it can delete a lot of stuff outright. You just need another solution for flying stuff and jellies.

I never dived too deep into Earth magic but had a powerful ice mage with Permafrost Eruption, destroying entire screen worth of enemies. Then a unique caught me on the Spider’s entrance and I realized too slowly that I need to escape. YASD

I don’t usually do the extended anymore.

I’m curious about extended but I also prefer my runs to be pretty short… I’ll probably manage to get a few big runs to explore Pan and Hells and whatnot but can’t see myself sticking to it. Short and sweet is great!

jjjalljs,

Short and sweet is great!

They’ve really shortened the game. Lair used to be 8 floors. Orc was 5. I think they shortened hell, too.

The qol stuff has generally been pretty solid.

The only change I actively dislike is the opportunity attacks you suffer when moving. I added a “blink the screen yellow when it happens” to my config to alert me, but I just think the mechanic isn’t fun.

Ok, I do kind of miss the yellow wands (heal, haste). And being able to learn Controlled Blink as a spell. That stuff was nice.

catfeeder,

While I understand the reason people dislike attacks of opportunity, playing a roguelike without it feels so wrong to me. Melee brutes just can’t do a thing to you when you moving away from them, it’s so… weird!

FuyuhikoDate, do games w I added new config options called "outline" and "Shadows" for my action roguelite game

What’s the name of your game?

According to the screenshots I think the white outline is too bright. Especially on the first screenshot around the cards(?) it looks kinda off

Maybe give it a lil contrast?

Otherwise the best outline option I’ve ever seen was in deadcells, where you could customize it to your personal likings.

And do I see it right that you use three different outline options?

Maybe one for the main char and only one for every enemy but 3 looks a bit too much.

And for somebody who see this screenshots a the first time, a “before / after” screenshots would be nice to give better feedback

SketBR,

Great, instead of using a white outline, use a black outline, that’s what I understood. Thank you for the feedback.

FuyuhikoDate,

Not exactly: Make it less white (maybe a few shades darker) Or give the player themself the option to change the color of their choice (also colorblind friendly)

SketBR,

Thank you, I will change this.

Undertale is one of the top games for a hit to the feels.
