Alex running Darkest Dungeon was unexpected. Even Austin and Vinny sounded surprised when he said he had 60 hours in the game. I guess this depressing horror dungeon crawl does fit right in his wheelhouse though, next to sports games, terrible games, and all things terminally adorable.
he did the Unfinished way back so might as well get him back for the QL. kinda glad cuz I was just watching the UF a few days ago.
this one was one of my big goosebump moments so each to there own
the previous rock one and this opened up the whole game for me its kinda the point of everything after. i was stuck for a short while but found the angle shift then spent ages trying the wrong way on the palm trees and nothing would line up (but also it was clear that it wasn't close to lining up) walking round the back was just like, fuuuuuck ok game everything is fair game lets fucking do this. been blasting everything since it put my mind to the right level of lateral think the game has wanted thus far. learning how to learn is what makes it great i fucking love this
That was my exact problem. I knew what the solution was, but finding the exact right spot to stand in was tough. I figured out the trick right away, but I got so frustrated trying to line things up that I walked away and came back later.
And then you solve it and nothing happens (that I've seen thus far). Hooray!

i think jeff is getting names from the trophies each area you complete pops a named trophie
The problem with playing on Steam is you get none of that.
This confused me too, but I have a feeling it does matter in some capacity. Unfortunately, I finished it before finishing the "end" of that island, so I'm not 100%.

I felt like that was almost like a tutorial showing us to use perspective, just sort of being wrapped up in Symmetry? I could be wrong and it could do something down the road, but this is just what I thought of when completely it. That just seemed like a obvious and open place to make the point.

You sure weren't kidding, I was glad to see people immediately comparing it to not being able to rub their anime ladies.
You're probably right. I'm barely past that point, so I don't know if it comes into play later.
I have no proof either way, but I'd probably say 100% that's the case.

back in my day, a fire emblem was a strange thing that somehow appeared in a smash brother game, a strange thing into itself
now it's all "let me touch my fire emblem" and "i want to marry all of the fire emblems" and i remember back when people called this thing a great experience post-xcom.
this is what happens when you anime your good games. bad things happen

clearly the "petting anime characters" community is just as oppressed and valid as the LGBTQ if not moreso, based on the responses
you're joking, but at least in Awakening the relationship system had a solid gameplay use. The children would gain stats, skills and classes from their parents. It was a enjoyable way to minmax your characters while at the same time giving them some development (cause the plot sure as hell don't help you with this).
In this one though I don't know what marriage does, besides buffs in battle.
edit: and the rumour turned out to be fake?

ah nuts, i kinda hoped i could get one of my stages in there :/
"First they came for the face rubbing - and I didn't speak out"
Both forms of content are not equivalent in the least, that is true. But there is such a thing as a slippery slope. My position has always been that reinforcing and approving publishers to cut content can be a dangerous path, leading to the omission of other forms of "sensitive subject matter" that might be offensive to a perceived audience that would or would not purchase the game.
I think the fact that this started with dumb crap like face touching and drugging blurs the potential issue in a bad way.
Edit: Though, this was all fake, so that's a good ending.

Someone made something up on the internet? Who would do such a thing?

someone dropped "anime shaming" in that thread

I want to die.
Wilbur got you, didn't he
People who want us all to realize that touching anime is a right not a privilege.
Oh wow I just realized that if people get so upset about the removal of anime touching they might cancel their SE preorders and I can buy one.
Everything's coming up me.

Look I'm all about anime but to suggest a thing like "anime shaming" that's anywhere near the same level as LGBQ issue is several steps over the line to me.

I can imagine some group of otaku pervs making up that rumor so we can understand the struggle of....I don't even know.
Does it accurately portray that once you enter the 2000s you can cut animation budgets to nothing, and just produce moe?

it's always been weird to me the extent with which some people define themselves as people by the media they consume.
Darkest Dungeon is an interesting game that I want nothing to do with myself.

Yeah, I realized the same thing when I looked up the PS4 trophy list. I'm on Steam so there's only two achievements. I did find this map on the game's site that seems super helpful and is spoiler-free.
I bought it in Early Access because the idea excited me and played it only for two hours because I wanted to wait for the full game. I started playing the full game and I am not that into it. It's way too stressful and RNG heavy. It sometimes feels like there was no way any form of tactical thinking could save me from a situation and sometimes that can even fuck you up long term.
I am still waiting for something to fill this XCOM void in me, but sadly that won't be XCOm 2 because there will be no console version.

well, i mean, be mad at nintendo for implementing it in a way that caused it to be received that way. sorry. if it wasn't nintendo (who never learns lessons about anything) I'd say maybe it would tell them to do a better job next time.

I would be inclined to if I could experience it first hand but I can't.
Sorry, this isn't the thread for this.

Yeah, they take great strides to keep it spoiler-free.

I've been working from home for almost a week now (and haven't been able to leave before today) and time has already lost all meaning.
I was unemployed for about 5 months a number of years ago and that was rough on so many levels

well, Gal Gun 2 IS getting localized...
I went out with someone and told her that I had gone to a concert last weekend, not realizing "last weekend" was actually a Tuesday. I'd already told her what I actually did over the weekend previously so it kicked off just a great conversation.
I'm at the point where I'm at least somewhat comfortable realizing I'm not ever going to become more of an adult and will always need to periodically ask somebody more responsible what day it is.

Agreed, it's weird and also makes you come across as a real boring person.

3 months man. If I was living on my own I'd have no idea what day it is.
