Ah many votes for KeePass, need to check it out. Always felt little unsecure to have use something like that, but now I just have all my passwords in an evernote note, pretty sure that's way way, way less secure.XD

It's been 3 days since I beat Life is Strange and I still don't know what to do with myself

also I'm pretty sure I picked the wrong ending so I should probably fix that

FFXIV Stormblood looks legitimately better than FFXV tbh
 
So I am new to PC gaming and I am looking for gaming recommendations. The specific ones I want to try are horror and survival horrors that were only released on PC. Any games worth playing ?

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
So what password app are you all using? Are there any that work with Steam and other clients?

I use LastPass. Subscribers can use a desktop program to auto-fill login fields in certain software, but it's painless to just copy the password from your vault, which is easily accessed through the browser extension or LastPass Pocket.

dead space series for sure, SOMA, and outlast, also as known as jumpscare simulator. for multiplayer you could either choose dead by daylight or friday the 13th, basically the same thing.
 
Chrono.gg's deal today is a 4 pack of Invisigun Heroes.



Anyone in on a 4 pack? Would come out to $4.50 per person.

I'll coordinate the main purchase if people want to PayPal me. Just shoot me a PM.
Wishlisted.
i raised my patreons list from 3 to 7, need to find an 8 to make my 5% salary -> patreon thing

kind of want to make the 8th something lewd but idk

Ooblets dev?

Uhh Yeah Dude because they're funny? I'm not sure if you wanted games only.

Girl with sideways Ameratsu mask is in a lot of games. Is there a specific meaning to that?


Anyway, I have started up Disgaea. Wow does that game throw a lot of mechanics at you very quickly. How many characters am I allowed to bring on the battlefield at once? I created 3 and figured they would replace the 3 prinnies but it let me put all 8 on. Also, should I create monster characters? At least from the tutorial it seemed that you are limited in upgrading monster characters vs. "human" characters.

It certainly has that effect.

Also, you only picked the wrong ending if you went for
bay over bae

That's what I did, but
it's obvious Max would never sacrifice Chloe, so I played that wrong

Truth be told, both endings are bad.
Wish there was an ending where Max ended up with Warren
Judging you hard core rn

Technically, couldn't she end up with Warren in the kill Chloe ending?

I'm one day out from beating it, and I feel i made the right choice at the end;
Chloe,
fuck that town.
It was the smaller stuff I wish I had done differently leading up to it.
I wish I could do an LTTP thread for it, but I don't think I could put my thoughts into words well enough to fill a new post justifying it
The thing I wanted to undo the most was
getting Victoria killed, but that got undone anyway. I also felt a little bad for Nathan getting killed (he did really horrible things but he didn't deserve to get offed like that by Jefferson) but there's no way to avoid that.

I wouldn't know what to say in a LTTP thread either. I'm still sort of digesting it

Mm yeah I realized I will probably go with LastPass also, online synch just is too nice, but will also use Keepass as a general backup.

Speaking of passwords, if I change password on Steam do I get a timeout in the marketplace? Thinking about chaging passwords across the board where ever I can, to something super hard generated by a password manager. I think I still have passwords in use that are nearing two decades old.XD

The one thing I wish I could undo, and i'm not sure if there is a way to change the eventual outcome either way, but it was
answer Kate's call (I thought that was a zero-sum moment -
take call and Chloe leaves or go with Chloe and miss call), because having Kate jump right in front of Max was hard knowing I had fucked up
.

That one arbitrary moment of
we took your powers away
was probably the thing I disliked most, because the game never really plays with that again. max hints at it, but it never happens and she never weakens. I understand why they did it from a plot stand point, but god damn was I slamming ctrl/right mouse as it was happening.

oh btw i went to a computer store yesterday and they let me play around with a mechanical keyboard and now i'm kind of really thinking about buying one

this is the one they recommended: https://www.hyperxgaming.com/us/key...nical-gaming-keyboard?partnum=HX-KB1BL1-LA/A4

says like specially for fps but i'm guessing it's all the same for league and programming right?

i liked that quite a bit cos it's pretty simple and not THAT expensive

anything in that range that's better or something?

Why not just increase your donation to all six?
that's a very good suggestion, i'll probably do that

and maybe sakimichan so i can get some lewds

That keyboard looks pretty nice. I like that it can charge devices. It's annoying to plug some things in my keyboard like controllers and they don't get enough power to work so I have to plug into the tower.

I'm low on money right now, but I use Steam Enhancer every day and should back Jason.

...

Done. It's a single dollar, but to quote Keiji Inafune, "it's better than nothing".

Maybe I should also back Matt Barton, his videos are awesome. Any other PC-related suggestions?

Battlefield 1 campaign is rather disappointing, I like the idea of providing individual character's stories, but I don't like the idea of facing two campaigns on a tank or a plane with a minimum amount of shooting. Also some campaign are just too long (even if they are all pretty much short) and repetitive.

I liked Hardline much more than this.

Check out other endings for sure.

I was totally depressed for several days after the ending too, lol.

The thing I disliked about the endings was that there was one that the team clearly put the most production into. It makes it seem like the devs have a "canon" ending.

Not even close. FFXV on an HDR TV looks miles better than XIV.

Also plays miles better. XIV is video game Nyquil.

Where FF14 really shines is it's difficulty, which most people prefer not to touch since they make the stuff so damn hard. lol
It's insanely satisfying to coordinate perfectly with a team and work together towards a seemingly insurmountable goal, guess that's why I like co-op games a lot.

oh didn't know you could do that

that's cool

yeah matt is also one i was thinking of

my problem is that i don't really watch his videos, like he's already done all the topics i'm interested in

then again i could throw a couple bucks for the service provided already

i think i'm gonna do that

That's not unusual. If there's a sequel, they'll have to choose one to go with. It's open ended, pardon the phrase, until such time as those characters are revisted
 
So yesterday I loaded my Steam wallet with a fair bit of money (relatively speaking) and decided to buy a couple of games out of a list of about six or so that I had been mulling over for a while. But when I started thinking about it, I realized that all the games on the list were there for the wrong reasons (such as having a good pre-order bonus, an expiring discount, an imminent price hike or something that I think might be removed from Steam at some point). Not one of the games actually fell into the category of me wanting to play the game soon or even really wanting to own it in my library. So, one by one I talked myself out of buying any of the games and now I have all this money sitting in my wallet.

Now you're thinking wow, this guy is a dumbass. But it doesn't stop there!

I had four PUBG crates in my inventory which I was holding on to sell when I get market access back in a couple of days. So of course, I went ahead and bought four keys to open them. Opened two and got the exact same worthless item in both of them before I came to my senses and stopped.

So not only did I prematurely fill up the wallet with money like a twit, I then proceeded to waste some of it on gambling when I know full well that the odds are always stacked against me.

I shall now wear my dunce cap for the rest of the weekend.

This sucks. At least, it only cost you $10...

I know how you feel. I usually have the shittiest luck when it comes to RNG gambling and crate bullshit. But this past few days I've been very lucky. Opened up a golden Lich King in the new Hearthstone expansion along with several DK cards while avoiding all the terrible legendaries. Also summoned Summer Corrin, Ninian and Julia in Fire Emblem heroes despite only wasting like 60 orbs.

Don't stress yourself over it. Sometimes its on your side sometimes its not.
 
I enjoyed Ducktales as a kid, but I don't really remember it much anymore. The new designs look pretty swell, though, and the voice cast is promising, soooooo... I'll give it a shot someday. Probably. Maybe. Dunno. *adds it to massive backlog of tv shows, movies, books, and vidja games*

As someone that loves the Duck Universe but wasn't too hot on the original Ducktales, I heartily recommend the new series.

Hmm...where is it on?

Wait, Duck universe? Duck tales, Darkwing and...Chip and Dale? They're not ducks. Were there ducks in tailspin? I saw very little of that.

He means the upcoming Duckburg cinematic universe, with multiple movies and TV-series in production. Prequels, Sequels, midquels, and even completely new -quels.
