I’m just a weird, furry, pan guy (cis he/him). I also have a big, blue username.

Currently on Earth for 8 years ensuring steps to unite humanity and usher us into the galactic civilization just so I can see my boyfriend again.

There is no cow level in Doom. 😔

I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game

So, I’ve spent over 2 hours on Steam searching for a nice game to play. But it’s all junk, as far as I’m fed with Steam recommendations. I liked ksp2 1, cities skylines 1, age of empires 2, baldurs gate 3 a lot, I just finished Divinity original sin 2. I like rpgs and management / factory games like workers and resources,...

I actually like WOTR more in many ways to BG3. Especially when you start getting deeper into it.

The rest are just soft codes changing a number in a file somewhere.

So you’re saying modifying a file isn’t a mod? 🤔

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Those likely wouldn’t be on the Nexus anyway.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

A while back Nexus did something that pissed off a lot of creators and they moved to other mod repositories, even deleting their shit off Nexus. In my experience, the good sexy stuff is more commonly found on other sites. Especially furry related ones.

Because of their username, I image the filter just covers you with a cardboard box. 🤣

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

They changed leveling, locomotion, added new voice lines to make all the races sound more unique, added more feedback to combat (hit animations, blood effects, sparks, and sounds; the actual combat mechanics look entirely unchanged)… And that’s just what they point out in the trailer.

@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

The fugly character models needed to be redone BADLY, too.

I kinda wonder what the NPCs in that one village part of a quest that mimics Shadow Over Innsmouth look like in the remake… They’re supposed to be fugly 🤣

Gender had an effect on stats in the original?

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

All I remember off-hand for what stats are affected in Skyrim is that Khajit start with 5 more points in Hand-to-Hand due to their claws 🤣

Morpheus Actor Laurence Fishburne Reveals He Was Turned Down for The Matrix Resurrections — So He Might Not Be Back for Matrix 5 Either - IGN [Morpheus' character dies in The Matrix Online] (www.ign.com)

However, there could be a fairly simple explanation there: Morpheus dies in the MMO game The Matrix Online. That specific event in the game is considered canon because the writer-directors, the Wachowskis, gave their approval to the game.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Resurrections was basically a parody of the original trilogy, along with the politics going on in the background of producing Resurrections. The Wachowskies didn’t want to do it at all, but ended up taking the reigns because WB would have made it without them, so they used the opportunity to basically shit all over WB and Hollywood and capitalism in general.

In that regard, it’s an awesome movie. If you expect more of the same kind of stuff from the originals, you will likely be disappointed.

They literally have a teaser trailer for ES6 they officially released years ago (in 2018; similarly to how Cyberpunk 2077 was teased way the hell back in 2012). They said it wouldn’t go into major production, though, until after Starfield released. Which has also already happened.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

You can’t just tease something and have pretty much no updates for 7 years…

Todd Howard thinks he can. 🤷🏻‍♂️

So glad they redid the smg because holy shit the one showed here looked and sounded terrible.

The OGs like Wolf3D and Doom did not even have mouse support for aiming until much later. Quake’s default controls didn’t use the mouse, despite it being one of the first FPS games to offer mouse-looking.

I didn’t fully embrace the current typical controls until Tribes 2. Before that, I used nothing but the keyboard.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I fudged the phrasing; you could move with the mouse and I think turn with it, you couldn’t look up and down. My dad played that way; but he would strafe instead of turn.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Oh lame. The multiplayer is the only thing I’d wanna try. I didn’t actually like the game, personally. Just not a fan of the wave-shooter setup.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

they didn’t do a MP mode in the sequel

What? Eternal has multiplayer. They’re mostly assymetrical modes, like the one where you can play as the demons.

Or do you mean the second sequel (Dark Ages)?

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I don’t know; I only tried the game via the demo, which didn’t have any multiplayer. I thought it would basically be like the OG Doom’s deathmatch.

I have played Eternal’s multiplayer on PS+ because it’s in the catalogue. It was… Weird. Though I thought it sounded pretty cool that you can be a demon in it. It wasn’t actually that fun.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 for me.

RPGs that don’t really fit in CRPG or JRPG

I was thinking it is weird that the generically named “RPGs” community (and RPGMemes) seems focused entirely on tabletop stuff, but I just noticed it’s literally on an instance dedicated to tabletop games so that explains that…

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Oh wow. The art style looks hella cool. How’s it play, tho?

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Lance is the best! But it’s also one of the hardest to use effectively.

Look up the actual combos, because most of the games I’ve played in the series do not tell you every single combo you can do in game, and some of them are extremely helpful. Especially with the lance.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I sometimes still think about StarCraft: Ghost.

Also not really a whole game, but I hate that CDPR cancelled the multiplayer stuff for Cyberpunk 2077. I was really looking forward to that.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

C&C Renegade still released. It wasn’t very good, either. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Totally Accurate Battle Simulator?

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

The Dwarf Fortress community has been doing this exact thing for years now. IIRC, Boatmurdered was also one of these where the save was being passed between multiple folks.

@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

What more do they need to do besides having Steam Link to let you stream your PC games to your phone?

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

It hasnt needed a local connection for a while. I usually play Civilization over it when out of the house.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I don’t think it would be hard to fake these screenshots. Bethesda shadow dropping a game of this high profile within a week, without ever having officially said anything about it or even replying to media asking about it just seems incredibly unlikely.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Having been playing it again recently, it still has a lot of what Morrowind had, and Skyrim doesn’t. Plays like Skyrim, but still has more depth than it. Not a lot more, but still more.

@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I hella want to mod KCD2 to have magic spells and dragons. Though I do find it funny to say “It’s a great RPG based in reality. You get to do awesome quests like digging a ditch or herding sheep!”

Ecco the Dolphin. (Genesis)

Sid Meier’s Pirates! (PC)

Subnautica (PC)

Uncharted Waters: New Horizons (SNES)

I would really like something that is a modern Uncharted Waters or Pirates! game. They are both very similar games, and both are also quite old.

I have used a tool (not this one specifically) that could do this specifically for its other function of calculating the worth of all your steam trading cards/marketable game items, and to batch sell them when I have enough to get something with the cash.

Ubisoft’s Colorblind Simulation Tool, Chroma, Now Available For Public Use (news.ubisoft.com)

The input emulation system in Steam is also heavily affected by accessibility needs. A part of the system that isn’t really seen or talked about is how it is used for many non-standard input devices made for people with physical disabilities.

Newell (himself, afaik not within Valve) is also currently researching BCIs, with making devices for disabled people the biggest thing those are being used for currently.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Is this like a remake/remaster of the OG 2033 or its own game?

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I wonder what this’ll do to the price of used physical copies

Probably nothing. The used prices aren’t necessarily reduced based on the retail price of the new copy, but by the supply vs the demand.

I can definitely hear the difference between my PC and my PS5.

My PC’s fans are way louder than my PS5.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

It’s literally the GPU’s (a 1660 Super) fan that’s loudest. I can’t change that out, afaik. The case fans are Noctuas and the CPU has a Corsair AIO liquid cooler.

I don’t have a desk job. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I also always end up taking a break in the suggested (or rather, the suggested manner back when video games straight up had warnings about playing too long in the manual/splash screens when starting them) when I am playing. Just stand up, walk to the kitchen/bathroom/whatever and look at something other than a screen for like 5-10 minutes every 45-minutes to an hour.

You should be able to do that at work, too. Just stand up, stretch, look at the ceiling/floor. You don’t even have to leave your cubicle/office.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

More new content? God damn, how many times am I supposed to play this game? They haven’t even dropped DLC yet!

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I forgot the name of it (Ex Machina? 🤔), but there is a top down diablo-like game with somewhat QWOPish controls and physics based combat. You control movement normally (assuming you’re standing), but you have to actually swing your sword around with the mouse and because it’s a top down view, this becomes a real challenge. It’s also presented as a soul like, so the AI is generally actually good at combat, and it’s also slow, and heavy feeling.

I don’t think it ever got finished, though. It was semi-popular for about a week before I never really saw it anymore.

Kinda why I’m not jumping to get a Steam Deck. I have a desktop, and I already know if I had the deck it would almost never get used outside my apartment anyway, since I’d never actually have time for it.

Now if I was still a kid with no responsibility and didn’t have to drive myself, it would be a different story. That story being I still wouldn’t have a deck because I wouldn’t have money and my parents wouldn’t buy it for me. 😩

Put the onus on the retailer to limit how many units a single customer can purchase. Why would Nintendo give a single fuck about scalpers, anyway?
