Lots of games. May as well say bye to us now. You've disappointed plenty by not listing LiS Episode 5 on the 20th, though, JUST SAYING. You should buy that, too. Your wallet will recover eventually.

Supposed to snow tomorrow, too. It was good while it lasted, eh? :")

oh damn, knew I forgot something to add to my list...working on that now.

Snow already?? oh man, guess I should go out later and pick all my herbs for storage before a frost hits. Curse this evil time of the year.

How it xenophobic? It's just not liking a certain art direction and/or story focus. I fucking love a lot of Japanese games its just that very few of those games look overly anime.

Am I anti American/Western too for not liking the standard fantasy eleves and orcs stuff too?

yes. thank you

I've been slightly annoyed all day for being called xenophobic over having a particular taste in games.

or you are missing said forest for the trees?
or maybe aren't looking into it deep enough? It goes both ways, you know


OK, now I'm really done, relax, steamgaf

Yes. Did you read the part of the sentence of mine that begins with ironically? :)

I was trying to get mad but then realized I'd rather be called a xenophobe than an anime fan. Am I a monster?

See the difference of not liking something and disliking or hating it to the point of phobia?

I always thought zkylon's spider hate is just deeply buried racism.

and for the record I don't think I labored the point of hating anime. I said "typically" in that there are exceptions.

I was asking with an open mind whether or not you think I'd like zestria if I typically dislike anime inspired jrpg. I then went on to clarify which jrpgs I have liked in the past.

so yeah

I was trying to get mad but then realized I'd rather be called a xenophobe than an anime fan. Am I a monster?

This is quality comedy.

Also real talk: there are people that throw the word misogyny around much like Arthea throws the word xenophobic around.

Taking a step back and examining these parallels is interesting.

this weeks was pretty brotastic

i have no idea what this means

I always thought zkylon's spider hate is just deeply buried racism.
i don't hate spiders, i just fear them. i'd be fine by me if they just lived in happiness eating flies and making webs and crap. just in very far away from me place where they can't get out from and no one can get to

which i've named terror island

Why haven't you already? Kickass episode!
massive blackout in my city, so i've been just freezing at candlelight for the past couple of days

power (i guess you call it power in english?) came back yesterday (tho apparently it won't last) and just watched league worlds. will probably try to catch the episode tonight if it's not super dark again

it's kind of weird to see the city on a full on blackout, generally it's just my building, but seeing like blocks and blocks of darkness is pretty cool. and kind of scary

The Crew Mysterious Boogaloo Part Whatever

Now I can't seem to replicate the freezing bug, either it's fixed by me changing the game from fullscreen to borderless windowed, or it's just completely unpredictable. I DID discover another random weird bug though: alt-tabbing while in borderless windowed will sometimes cause the game to just silently crash and exit in the background.

I feel like I've spent more time QA testing this game than I have playing it.

you will when you watch
ohh

i bet i'm gonna enjoy it

i always enjoy it

So only spiders scares you? What about things slightly resembles spiders. Like last night I was playing Killer Is Dead, Chapter 3 has a monster that looks like a spider/worm thing.

OH, my bad. I didn't know that's how it was working. I also forgot to ask what continent this is taking place in.

Most of the players are from the United States I think. I'll have to see if I will be able to play with you guys as I am from europe. It works decently against Leaf though so here's hoping.

€: Nvm that, i should factcheck before correcting others. :X

I'm open to hearing how we should describe the tropes that turn us off about this subset of games.

Whatever it is its not xenophobic to not be into it as I was responding to.

I have no better word for it, but Anime can depict a broad variety of Styles and Storys, generalizing it with a few tropes is just unfair imho.

You're right about the xenostuff tho.

Eastern Europe* :p

it's a case by case thing, but essentially most insects scare me

some other animals/creatures too
 
Warhammer 40,000 Deathwatch that came out today seems interesting enough (not almost $25 interesting though)...if Nuuvem adds it for cheap or it has a sale down the road I may pick it up
 
Nearly 2/3rds of the way through Ori and The Blind Forrest. It's been such an enjoyable experience. The save system and so many of the spike-filled corridor platforming sections remind me of They Bleed Pixels. A kinder, gentler one.
 
I know Vermintide is a FPS

what's deathwatch?

I know this has nothing to do with steam but when I came here I thought it was a lot more strict and getting banned for arbitrary reasons.

But here where TB is heavily disliked he got a thread but on both reddit/r/games and gaming all posts about him (Even not about cancer) seems to get instantly removed. The modding teams there seems to have gone overboard.

neogaf isn't perfect but it's better than reddit

anything is better than reddit

I'm talking with a guy using it right now (the steam controller) he says it's pretty acurate and he got used to using the trackpads really quick, he dislikes the haptic feedback though. He said something about it just feeling wrong.

reddit is a bit different in that they have to come up with vaguely democratic posting rules.

Neogaf has the benefit of being owned by one person who can unilaterally ban anyone who starts posting GG shit or whatever.

Those Steam Controller impressions are really tempting me. It's sounding like one of the most versatile PC peripherals every released.

I didn't realise that it had flappy paddles on the back. That was the main feature I was interested in with that Xbox One Elite controller, so it's nice to see it on a much cheaper controller.
