Thread for Gamers IX: God Howard Starfield Edition

To be fair, you're not there to goof around, I guess, but at the same time, they should at least... Not make it this big dumb event about something that's supposed to be about concentration and skill.

It's like streaming the Olympics, except the commentators sit right next to the Olympians, or, more accurately, like if they sat right next to FGC competitors. Maybe they should have commentators or something.

It still doesn't make a lot of sense to me, though. Most people watch speedrunners because they're entertaining on top of being really good at a game. Treating speedrunning like it's some serious, professional sport that demands one not have fun just seems more cringey to me than anything.

Though, I find the professional/serious speedrunning community in general kind of lulzy, similar to the competitive Smash community.

Eh, apparently enough people enjoy watching "serious" speedrunning that they're pretty successful despite it being, IMO, dreadfully boring.

Besides, it's been proven time and time again you don't have to be good at the game to either get people to watch your content or to enjoy it.

See: The Super Best Friends, Game Grumps, OneyPlays, PewDiePie, and Little Z as positive examples, and DarkSydePhil, LowTierGod, and ChibiNekoDemyx for negative examples.

People enjoy seeing skill on display. It hardly matters what that skill is in compared to the fact it is skill.

Decided to buy that The Long Dark after watching the Achievement hunter fellas play through it, seems like an interesting survival game (not many grab my attention), whats better than freezing to death in the Canadian wastes whilst being hunted by wolves, a fun time to be had by all.

Wolves can fuck off.

The game still seems to be regularly updated with fixes, too. The devs are legitimate devs and keep the game working. Like it's amazing how much they've done to make it a better game.

I love survival games, but that one is just a dick.

Y'know, there's something I never got about Warframe.

Why is there an ocean on Uranus?

[Highever]

Y'know, there's something I never got about Warframe.

Why is there an ocean on Uranus?

Isnt there speculation that the surface of the planet is liquid methane, at least to some extent?

Diarrhea.

You're playing as alien cyborg ninja things, and that's what you don't get?

"Surface."

The atmosphere is mostly made of hydrogen, ammonia, and methane, while the mantle is believed to be a water ice/methane ice mixture.

I'm also annoyed that Lotus calls the moons of Jupiter "Planets."

This is especially annoying in the Europa mission, where she constantly says that objects are rising to the planet's surface. Space Mom does not understand astronomy, apparently.

So I just watched the FF9 run from AGDQ this year.
...Isn't it the Eiffel 65 run instead.
SERIOUSLY.

But other than that, it was amazing.
First ever 9 hour run with no breaks.

Was thinking about redownloading stellaris but apparently th er rea yet another update later today so I'm going to hold off.

Instead though, redownloaded Warhammer II TW and found an awesome Ultimate Chaos Mod that adds a bunch of units and heroes for each of the gods. I'm having a blast just RPing and building up my legions according to patron gods while sending out agents of Slaanesh to show the seeds of Chaos among the decadent lords of the south, and using my Khornite and Maruader hordes to awaken and conquer the tribes of the north.

Havent decided where I'll send my plague legions and devotees of Tzeentch yet....maybe I'll send the plague lords to attack the orks supported by some more Khornite legions.

If anyone loves RPing campaigns like I do I highly recommend this mod

Yeah, story is only the first two chapters, but ill use that as a tutorial to get used to it then hop into survival afterwards.

Wolves can fuck off.

Yeah watch out for Bears too.

Oh noes

It is brutal yes, it remains to be seen if that ends up pissing me off or not

Bethesda sold 76 knowing it was shit

I'm shocked. Shocked. Well, not that shocked

[Rostavykhan]

Y'know, there's something I never got about Warframe.

Why is there an ocean on Uranus?

Why does the sky on Pluto look the same as on Venus?

I actually like the aesthetic of Uranus, I just don't care much for most of the tileset.

I'm sure this is a shocking development to...someone.

You guys ever get extreme feelings of nostalgia? I was listening to a song on Spotify, and I noticed it sounded really familiar, and I realized it was from Need For Speed: Underground 2, which I used to play a fuck ton of as a kid, and it really took me back. I miss that game. It and the 2005 release of NFS Most Wanted were basically my childhood.

Whenever I hear Suburban Home I get instant flashbacks to playing Tony Hawk's American Wasteland in a tiny rental store in 2005. I was like seven at the time and I remember it clear as day. That game just kicks ass.

One of the new Pokemon lengendaries is a wolf with a sword in it's mouth and tbh I'm here for it.

That sounds cool.

That's a really bad way to play fetch. Someone should call the RSPCA.
