Thread for Gamers IX: God Howard Starfield Edition

[The Rich Port]

So I got distracted and lost and now I'm playing The Sims 4.

Specifically, I was thinking of doing a Black Widow run.

Why? Maybe I just hate men, I dunno, get off my shapely ass.

Do you guys know any non-cheesy ways to kill Sims besides locking them in a room and watching them slowly starve to death, it's really grinding down on my conscience

Sealing them in swimming pools by building walls around it.

It's amazing just how cheesy everything you have to do to kill a Sim is.

"Hope that they fuck up fixing something"
"Hope that they catch a lethal disease"
"Hope they die during sex"

Maybe I should just kill them all with WooHoo, target old men specifically.

Just like my favorite movie, Body of Evidence.

Oh god, isn't that the one with Willem DeFoe and Madonna?

Yup

After being a fringe curiosity for a long time, I finally decided to buy FTL. I think I had a great first run, despite making some big mistakes purchase-wise, I made it all the way to the flagship. If I could have just pierced that ship's shield, I could have torn them apart, but I just did not have enough anti-shield weaponry.

Are you aware that the flagship

has three stages, each of which requires a different strategy?

Yep, saw it in a playthrough.

I watched MichaelALFox (MALF) play on Twitch before deciding to get the game, I wanted to get a feel for what the game actually is. I've always heard so much about how the game's so great but never actually knew why.

SHE'S DONE IT. Victory! It took five runs, a big-ass beam and tri-shot missile weapons but I finally got there.

Congratulations on defending the (evil?) empire from the (good?) rebels. You're a true hero(villain?).

I’d rather take the multi-species Federation than the human supremacist rebels any day.

When there's a hot alien babe tempting my penis with her giant ass and giant breasts?

That's a self defense situation.

The “Even microorganisms have rights” Federation is oppressing the “Aliens are scum” Rebels’ rights to own guns... and an all encompassing space fleet.

... The strangest thing just happened.

Here I was, watching Star Trek on my Xboner, and what I think is a bot told me to go to something called fninvite.com.

I couldn't find it on Google, so I asked them wtf, and that's when I discovered that it's a very well programmed bot.

I don't think I've ever seen a bot on Xbox Live before message anybody, since there doesn't seem to be a forum post about it.

Figured I'd warn everybody on here.

If you get a message from a girl asking if you wanna see her naked on a website, check her credentials XD

[Skylus]

Dunno if there's a video game music thread...thing...
anyway I'm remaking Storm Eagle from MMX1 and it's sounding awesome so far.

[Aaaaaa]

I've received similar messages, though more on the "hey baby wanna have a good time ;) insert-fishy-looking-link-to-something-here" side. The quest to find horny 11-year-old kids playing Halo to click on your virus-laden links never stops.

That's more or less exactly what happened.

You'd think there'd be forums or a bulletin from Microsoft about this, I couldn't find anything about it on Google.

DICE (the ones working on Battlefield anyways) fucked up with BFV again, lol.

Removed items from the game that could be earned through gameplay several months back, and re-added them the other day as real-money MTX only. Now they're preparing to introduce a system to allow players to pay to skip progress on their Tide of War service, similar to how some games with battle passes let you buy your way up to a certain rank.

Funny enough, if this were Anthem or Fallout, I'd be hearing about this for the next week, but because BFV was such a half-baked, mediocre failure instead of an absolute trashfire like the other two, it seems like it's controversies have just faded into the background and been forgotten by most people who don't actively follow the game to know what's going on.

It's like a way more depressing, less entertaining, less memorable version of Anthem's shitshow.

To be fair... There's bigger fish to fry.

If Grand Theft Auto 5 can get away with prioritizing money glitches over every other glitch and Fallout 76 is somehow still operating, a somewhat decent game deserves a little leniency.

On the plus side, Bethesda got around to fixing the bandwith leakage that Fallout 76 caused to their servers, so now I can download mods for Skyrim and Fallout 4 without any issues again.
