Yup, Last Samourai is 22 years old. Back then a lot of social issues have not been widely discussed.

It’s been a rough learning process so far :') my main issue is that I like to play on the go using apps or mobile spreadsheets and the book relies a lot on the printed sheets. They are way more organized than the book which has a number of issues (12 actions are not listed nor mentioned in actions chapter but after character creation, common equipment is given after character reaction chapter but the load somewhere in the middle of it, etc). Once you have done a character / band creation end-to-end it becomes much clearer.

Oh damn, now I have no excuse to not try out Mörk Borg /s Jokes aside, I guess everything could technically be done with an oracle you are familiar enough. But it’s still nice to have some system specific solo adjustments. Currently I am learning Blades in the Dark and I am happy to have read Alone in the Dark as well, and not just rely on Mythic.

Yeah, you unlocked many memories of mine. I played CS back in 90s, train with bots and learn map layouts at home, then play team vs team in a club. A bit later with ADSL started to play online and it was still kinda cool. When life fast forwarded me to Quake Arena and R6S it was very fun but I never ever made any online friend. Maybe a couple of people in R6 with whom I played a few times but even then the toxicity outweighed the team play fun.

Yup, either this or the matchmaking is in find-the-most-toxic-people-available mode. I almost stopped playing online to be honest, I’d rather play couch co-op or even a good solo game.

Thanks for kind words! Honestly, one of the reasons I created this was the fact that wanted to dig in journaling games a bit more but didn’t find anything that would suit me. I wanted something a bit crunchier than replying to game prompts, with more dice rolls and somehow risky decisions to take. I was a bit reluctant to call it a journaling game even but here it is. I mention in the introduction that it can be played without journaling at all, it still has (or at least “intended to have”) other interesting mechanics.

No no, definitely the smell /s

Absolutely! CP:R ihas always been a huge interest of mine, I also have 2020 and many supplements but never had a chance to dive in.

Wow, the whole room becomes brighter with HDR off /s

It was my thought as well. IIUC the game engine, Anvil Next, is the same that has been used since Valhalla so it shouldn’t be the engine issue.

(Didn’t play it yet and probably wouldn’t before big patches after a year or so, take me with a pinch of salt)

I cannot understand how is this game rated Steam Deck compatible if it is badly optimized? Valhalla was fine on SD but it never had perf issues that bad on current/next-gen. Anyone tried it out on SD (or maybe another handheld)?

Stunning builds. Are you Jente Bijl? In this case congrats, your builds are really pieces of art! If not, thanks for a great discovery :)

Very natural look, to be honest I am quite impressed that it isn’t a industry standard right now and also that I have never thought that it was missing in games. I’d only tweak one thing: for a most natural look all surfaces shouldn’t be “touchable” at all times. We usually touch barriers (such as at 0:25), wall corners around which we walk, some vertical bars, moving objects (doors, office chairs), etc. With these restrictions it would look absolutely stunning in a video game. Remove this restriction with some conditions (character is drunk, walking at height, instable for some reason, etc.) and it would really be a piece of animation I would like to be modded into every single game I own.

Damn, downgrade programming is probably a term that I lack in my vocabulary, it is really interesting. You really bring “Don’t fix if it isn’t broken” to a new level.

Now, I also try to deal with it. As a snorer I try to never miss my allergies treatment, be sure to stay warm, drink a hot drink before sleep and maybe read an e-book before my partner falls asleep so I know it would annoy them less if I snore.

My partner rolls me (yup) to the side or gently wakes me up so I can change position or maybe blow my nose or something. I easily fall asleep so they know it is not an issue. Sometimes they go to sleep to the couch which sounds awful to me but which is merely an excuse to watch a podcast, cuddle with cats and use a softy-soft blanket.

Wait… It it a kind of “old school cool” picture? Or is it a native DOS machine running an actual Links in 2025?

I am not even in hope for that anymore. 1.7 was the last version I actively played on. 1.8 was a nightmare and felt like I have been stolen something, I never played since.

I am still a Lemmy noob and didn’t grasp all the instance/community points yet. This community is kinda about physical games as well so I gave it a shot. But thanks for pointing out that instance, seems to be a lot of related stuff and would be more appropriate for sure!

Damn, I released my last project yesterday and I needed some of those features so badly!

Great news, thanks for sharing! Gimp has been a long-time companion of mine for any kind of image editing. So happy to see it growing and evolving in such a good way.
