The three iconic ducks. Huey, duey, & bob

Bob's father has three children. Huey, Dewey and...?

 

[MUnited83]

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.

By Duck Universe I mean the Scrooge/Donald comics, the Carl Barks and Don Rosa stuff

 

[Pachimari]

You got it all wrong. Their names are Rip, Rap and Rup. Their dad is Anders And, and their uncle is Onkel Joakim.

Can't wait to see the new series! And yeah, the new designs are great.

 

[Orakio Rob]

Go watch the new Ducktales people, it's fucking amazing

Ducktales was huge here in Brazil, all of the kids loved it back in the day. I think the new design is great and I can't wait to watch it! Hope we also get some games based on it.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Alvin, Simon, The-o-dore

Tick, Trick und Track are their names goddamnit

[thesaucetastic]

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

Spoiler

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

Spoiler

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.

For your undo,

Spoiler

yes Kate can be saved. I ended up saving her in my playthrough.

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.

Yeah apparently the excuse was that they ran out of money, but they prototyped that ending several times trying to get it down right. It could've used some more denouement and stuff tbh.

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

Apparently this is the last you'll see of Chloe and Max. The sequel is supposed to be a new cast I heard.

 

[Teggy]

Has the latest episode already aired? I'm out of date on this.

The first episode is an hour long and it looks like it's the only thing they are airing for the first 2 weeks, but A LOT, like every day. It's also on the Disney XD app if you have access in your area.

 

[paperspace]

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 ?

*ping Dusk Golem*

I'm not a horror enthusiast but I do appreciate a good horror game once in a while. These are some favorites/games you definitely should check out:

Penumbra games
Amnesia
Layers of Fear
The Cat Lady
Rusty Lake
Fran Bow
Five Nights at Freddys
Stories Untold
The House in Fata Morgana
Pathologic Classic HD
STASIS + CAYNE
System Shock 2
Dead Secret
F.E.A.R.
Kholat
Monstrum

Condemned: Criminal Origins
The Darkness II
Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut

 

[M.D]

Bought Dead Cells today. I was interested after watching the GB unfinished video a few months ago and hearing people praise it from time to time.

I only played for about an hour but it feels like it deserves all the praise.
It felt special from the very first moment. The way it controls, the music, looks.. I don't think I've felt this way about a game since Dark Souls. Basically had a smile on my face the entire time.

 

[zkylon]

had to nuke most of my games when switching to an ssd

feels kinda nice to uninstall like half your computer

how does ppl manage having a relatively small ssd (240gb)? i'm pretty sure you can have a couple games on one disk and the rest on the other, so i'd have like one game on my ssd and the rest on the other?

(ignore the categories btw, i need to come up with a better system that doesn't force me to move things around every time i play a game...)

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Go watch the new Ducktales people, it's fucking amazing

Show looks great, with Gravity Falls alumni. Plus, the new intro and the new version of the theme song are killer.

Why they fucked up old designs? And breakdance? Yeesh.

What I do is I have a SSD for windows/games that I want to load fast or play really often/currently playing. Then for games that I don't care about load times on the regular Hard drive for steam.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

The new DuckTales is indeed great. I pretty much love all the characters, new directions and all.

My only hang-ups on the new theme song is that the "woo-oo" part sounds less exciting.

lmfao someone had a sign on camera during the DOTA finals that read

Half-Life outdated
Portal overrated
Long have we waited
Card game created.

All this talk of card games on the computer made me dig up M:tG Shandalar again. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

Awesome , I will check those. Thanks man

Heh. Wonder if the overall will ever change tho, probably not. Not even sure how it works really.

would be nice if they ever made good on the promise of that game

 

[Anteater]

a lot of walking in hellblade

i actually like the combat so far

 

[kagamin]

Well... I've just finished Trails in the Sky the 3rd, it's nice to get back to a genre of games you love after neglecting them for so long, especially with games this great.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Heh. Wonder if the overall will ever change tho, probably not. Not even sure how it works really.

It's legitimately tempting, especially since, unlike Elite: Dangerous, it's playable offline. Classes start back up for me the week after next, though, and I'll have my first job to deal with as well, so I'm not sure about having the time to play it. Plus, my gaming budget is getting a little tight.

EDIT: Fuck it, I need distractions right now.

 

[TheGreenArrow]

Has anyone tried Albino Lullaby? Looks terrifying.

 

[Pixieking]

i actually need a seventh too, cos it seems like the haxeflixel patreon is no longer being updated

i think i would rather not do podcasts cos i don't really have time to listen to more podcasts

would also rather not be the obvious ones like jim sterling cos i think jim does quite alright without my help

Acknowledging you just said you don't want more podcasts, but I have to take the time to shill for Level with Emily Reese. She interviews videogame music composers and voice-actors, and has recently started a side-show for Level Patrons where composers pick 5 pieces of music and talk about them. Worth taking the time to look at.

Just wow.

Plus Vulkan is amazing:

I wish there was a mod for Doom that replaces the dubstep stuff with actual metal.

i'd play Doom if it wasn't like 80gig

 

[Nabs]

My brain is all jumbled after playing both characters at the same time in Overcooked. Great game, but I'd love some Online Multi.

 

[BasilZero]

Seems like my 780 2GB is ancient as fuck.

My radeon 7850 2GB is ancient.


So is my geforce 750m on my laptop



Gonna use the laptop for a few more years but I'm planning to build myself a new PC at the end of the year hopefully - if not early next year.

Is there any way to determine if a game on Steam is censored due to region or country, or just not available? Currently living in Malaysia, and don't want to switch countries from the UK if it means I'll get cut versions of games, or that some games are entirely unavailable.

If they are not available, you can check SteamDB. Check the price-tab and if it shows NA, they usually arent available in that country.

Well then that's all I'll change on my next play through. I only feel really bad about that one.

Apparently this is the last you'll see of Chloe and Max. The sequel is supposed to be a new cast I heard.

While that's admirable, they say that until such time as he sequel tanks and they go right back to Chloe and Max because it's safe money/'what the fans wanted'

I wish there was a mod for Doom that replaces the dubstep stuff with actual metal.

i wish they could just leave it with no music and have ambient Hell soundscape noises

 

[JaseC]

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

Not if you change it, which isn't to be confused with resetting it as that will result in a cooldown.

Edit: The store page will mention if the version you're buying is censored, but I don't think there are any such games on the Malaysian store.

 

[bbd23]

man hellblade is a freakin beautiful game

just did the intro and the game is already making me feel things

If you want another that is game dev related Godot Engine launched a Patreon.

Yeah, lots of games aren't available in SEA Steam.

I wouldn't suggest anyone switching to our region if they want access to all games.

 

[zkylon]

oh nice

maybe i will, been thinking about trying godot for a while

ppl that make it are argies i think i know, actually

 

[Pixieking]

Yeah, lots of games aren't available in SEA Steam.

I wouldn't suggest anyone switching to our region if they want access to all games.

So, what I was thinking of doing to circumvent some games being unavailable was this:

1) My wife has a debit card for Malaysia. Use that to buy some games in the local currency (Steins:Gate, for instance, is the equivalent of half UK price).
2) We're only in the country as long-term temps (2 year work contract), so we still have UK bank accounts. If there's something that I want to buy that isn't available here, use my UK bank details to switch stores and purchase.

Whilst the Billing FAQ states that there's a cooldown for switching countries, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. I think?

 

[kagamin]

Now that I'm done with Trails in the Sky the 3rd, I have time to think about other things.

I've always liked the design of Lloyd, he probably has my favorite design of all the Trails series protagonists.

Weren't you *just* saying PC gaming is dead and PS4 is the best way to experience games?

I've had my account switched to another country once. As far as I remember, the cooldown was not only for switching, but also for buying games on Steam. I couldn't use my wallet right away after the conversion. I think it'll be a hassle if you switch region too much. Maybe someone can confirm/correct this for me as it's been a while ago since I did it.

 

[Rhaknar]

10 hours into NMS, it continues to be...neat. Lots of neat things. It's a neat videogame.

I would make the best videogame reviewer in the world really.

"8/10 its neat"

Yeah... It might work better if I switch, buy a ton of stuff immediately, and then switch back. Since it's mostly just picking up games I've had on my Wishlist for months, it's just being cheeky and taking advantage of the low prices.

That's still cross-region purchasing and may raise a red flag at Valve's end, but if you were to explain you're using the Malaysian store because you're in the country long-term, I'm sure you'd just be let off with a warning and told to pick one. If you want to play it safe, stick with the MY store while you're in the country and, where possible, have a UK friend gift you the stuff you'd like but can't purchase yourself.
