Epic Games lays off over 1,000 staff citing Fortnite “downturn” in popularity
https://archive.ph/20260324192125/https://nichegamer.com/epic-games-lays-off-over-1000-staff-citing-fortnite-downturn-in-popularity/#selection-1083.140-1083.250
>Today we’re laying off over 1000 Epic employees. I’m sorry we’re here again. The downturn in Fortnite engagement that started in 2025 means we’re spending significantly more than we’re making, and we have to make major cuts to keep the company funded. This layoff, together with over $500 million of identified cost savings in contracting, marketing, and closing some open roles puts us in a more stable place.
>Some of the challenges we’re facing are industry-wide challenges: slower growth, weaker spending, and tougher cost economics; current consoles selling less than last generation’s; and games competing for time against other increasingly-engaging forms of entertainment.
>And some of our challenges are unique to Epic. Despite Fortnite remaining one of the most successful games in the world, we’ve had challenges delivering consistent Fortnite magic with every season; we’re only in the early stages of returning to mobile and optimizing Fortnite for the world’s billions of smartphones; and in being the industry’s vanguard we have taken a lot of bullets in a battle which is only in the early days of paying off for ourselves and all developers.
>Since it’s a thing now, I should note that the layoffs aren’t related to AI. To the extent it improves productivity, we want to have as many awesome developers developing great content and tech as we can.
>What we now need to do is clear: build awesome Fortnite experiences with fresh seasonal content, gameplay, story, and live events; accelerate developer tools with greater stability and capability as we evolve from Unreal Engine 5 and UEFN to Unreal Engine 6. And we’ll be kicking off the next generation of Epic with huge launch plans towards the end of the year.
>This isn’t our first time being here. Epic survived upheavals in 1990’s with the move from 2D to 3D with Unreal 1; in the 2000’s building console games with Gears of War; and in 2012 moving to online gaming with Paragon and Fortnite. Each time, we rebuilt our foundations and earned a renewed leadership position.
>Market conditions today are the most extreme we’ve seen since those early days, with massive upheaval in the industry accompanied by massive opportunity for the companies that come out as winners on the other side. That’s what we’re aiming to do for our players, and we aim to bring other like-minded developers in the industry along on the journey to build an increasingly open and vibrant future of entertainment together.
>At Epic, we pride ourselves in only hiring the industry’s best, so it is very painful to part with so many talented people. The folks impacted by the layoffs will receive a severance package that includes at least four months of base pay, with more based on tenure. We’re also extending Epic-paid healthcare coverage.
For example, in the U.S., they’ll receive paid coverage for 6 months. We’ll also accelerate their stock options vesting through January 2027 and extend equity exercise options for up to two years.

NEWS
>ユデア天堂 shoahs Ryujinx not through lawsuits but by buying out/threatening the main developer to quit and delete fucking everything.
>However, no DMCAs were filed against the source code unlike Jewzu and none of the contributors were banned nor were any forks taken down, so the emergence of a successor-fork is only a matter of time unless 任天堂 feels like resuming the endless game of DMCA-mole or buying more slaves across the wider emu community.
>The unthinkable has happened and Bloodborne has become playable on PC in less than a month after it first went ingame using shadPS4, a few dozen other games have gone ingame since then.
>Of note is that the emulator requires FSGSBASE instructions necessitating an Intel Ivy bridge or first generation AMD Zen CPU at minimum.
>With Xbox one game encryption having been successfully cracked, various Xboner wrappers soon emerged so people can finally play the vast library of fantastic Xbox wan exclusives beyond the clutches of Microsoft even though none of them run Lunix yet. XWine1 and WinDurango are the most prominent at the moment, with XWine1 capable of playing Minecrap to some degree.
>RPCS3 wires up online multiplayer emulation for a variety of games including Armored Core for Answer.
>MAME devs cook up Nuked-SC55 for emulating the Roland SC-55 Midi synth for all your obscure Nipponese エロゲ and/or Doom needs.
>Dolphin switches to new release model, now instead of one (1) "stable" release every 10 years they'll publish a new "stable" release every 6 months which should make organizing netplay gamenights somewhat easier.
>PCSX2 officially releases 2.0 as stable feat. playable hardware mode Ace Combat 04, but it doesn't seem they intend to change their current release "schedule".
>Parallel-gs makes steady progress, no ETA on an official merge with mainline PCSX2 yet.
>Stenzek incurs a predictable soy/HRT(?)-induced meltdown over users of ebul Duckstation forks sometimes making erroneous bug reports on mainline along with emotional damage incurred from the toxic emu community or some shit so he changed the loicense to prevent anti-semites from redistributing custom forks+builds of HIS sacred code!!11...anything prior to the license change is fair game though and Mednafen still exists, as do existing Duckstation forks.
>RetroArch slightly flattens up its regular Ozone UI for reasons unknown.
>The fate of the VxKex Win10-on-7 wrapper's original developer is still unknown, no DMCA takedowns were filed at any forks or mirrors in the months since the sudden deletion so who knows.

The purpose of this thread is to document and discuss Nintendo's recent actions towards censoring third-party games released on their platforms. As in, games that Nintendo has demanded that companies alter despite having no participation in any step regarding the game's development and release. This point on the subject needs to be emphasized because of two reasons.
The first is that people try to deflect such censorship practices for the purposes of so-called "regional differences", such as different regional laws and restrictions on game releases. This is not that issue as these are games that may have been released previously in the region sometime in the past decade or two, or the game is still being released unaltered on a competing platform like PlayStation or Xbox that still follows the same restrictions and/or even has their own. Second is that, despite censoring their own games, Nintendo actually has a history of leaving third-parties alone regarding what content is allowed to be inserted into their games, a topic I will be getting into in the following post. Regardless, if you JUST want a list of “all” instances of games being censored on the Nintendo Switch (And the upcoming Switch 2) regardless of reason, I suggest that you look at these two following links:
https://archive.ph/S0pfk
https://archive.ph/oaP9T
But why make this an issue? Back in 2019, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa made the following declaration in response to a question about restricting content present in video games released on Nintendo’s systems: https://archive.ph/RkxJm
>Q11: Regarding restrictions on expression. Some other platforms have their own restrictions other than third-party organizations such as CERO. How about Nintendo?
<A11: Nintendo entrusts a third-party organization with the task of providing objective ratings for its own products and third-party software prior to its release. If the platform operator arbitrarily chooses to do so, it would seriously impede the diversity and fairness of game software. The parental control function also allows for restrictions to be put in place.
In addition to this statement, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser recently made the following statement less than a week ago: https://archive.ph/nrYHD
<We always want to attract the best talent we can and retain that talent. We also believe it’s important for that talent to be diverse in terms of their backgrounds, their experiences, and their understandings because our players are diverse. So we strive to have diversity that reflects our players in our organization.
In some ways, it mirrors a similar statement that Sony had made back in 2018 when they were in the middle of their own scandal for censoring games released on PlayStation: https://archive.ph/X2wGz
There are also indications that this is an official policy coming down from Nintendo proper in Japan, based both of the list that you’ll see below (That includes Japanese exclusives and Japanese versions games being effected) and other people researching into the matter confirming details with other industry insiders: https://archive.is/ApYH8#post-1477584
On top of this, there are other strange policies going into place such the obscure region-locking of the Switch 2, which has one version exclusive to Japan (And Japan alone) and another version for the rest of the world, including regions neighboring Japan like South Korea and Taiwan receiving this “worldwide” version of the system: https://archive.ph/I9KmI
And thus, it is the purpose of this thread to make people aware of Nintendo’s actions regarding this entire matter. What you choose to do with this information is up to you.
Now that that is out of the way, here is a list of third party games known to be censored and/or had their release canceled on Nintendo’s systems. This will be sorted by year of announcement/release, with the effected titles being listed in alphabetical order:
>2022
<Hot Tentacles Shooter (Canceled)
https://archive.ph/rAxny
<Duel Princess (Pulled after release)
<Massage Freaks (Canceled)
https://archive.ph/akc2e
This year is considered to be an "outlier", with some arguing that these releases should not be considered a part of Nintendo’s recent actions given the large span of time between them and later events happening. I disagree on this matter, and think they should be included since they are effected by the exact circumstance being described, but I wanted to make this consideration known.

Not infrequently there have been anons asking about games with 2D girls wielding guns, or why there aren't anywhere near enough games that feature 2D girls shooting guns. For once, if the occasion permits I'd like some light shed on this subject, as to what idea for a game anon's got in his head that would require girls and guns.
Girls and guns at first appear like inconciliable realities. Guns imply people wielding guns and the use of firearms, tools which can neutralize potential threats with minimal effort, commodified weapons for a brutal reality which more often than not requires them, and are pretty fun for sport as well precisely because of their macabre reality. The other pertains human beings of the opposite sex, largely neotenous and with stylized bodily proportions to whatever makes the artist's ちんぽ happy. Do they really mix? Games in which guns are integral to gameplay tend to create hostile settings to accentuate the necessity of guns. For instance, Doom has demons as enemies, Stalker has hostile factions and fictional, mutated wildlife, Deus Ex has terrorists, robots and highly specialized military branches of fictional organisms. Their worlds require guns to provide a fair shake against all possible threats to the player. On the contrary, games in which the girls are the selling point require to accentuate the cuteness and/or sex appeal of said girls through matching gameplay. They may do spastic cartoony action if they don't already skip the action entirely, and if they do feature guns said guns may as well be Nerf guns with firearm damage on enemies that look the part. Rarely if ever are there games published that pit cute girls and real guns together and don't compromise on the reality of firearms.
Options for games about girls with guns therefore have to either neuter violence with guns to a point in which the girls are not facing any real danger and the guns have about as much punch as a wet fart, or place cute 2D girls in a hostile setting that can and will take their lives away at a given chance to an audience of depraved grown men with a guro fetish. Would anon take any of these options or is there some other alternative to the eponymous premise? Input your thoughts on the matter and extrapolate your options.
Considering the recent failed revival of the game(yet again). I've been getting the itch to restart our monthly game nights of it. I'll try to keep hosting once a month on the first weekend of the month. It'll be on max like always. Which you can get here
https://www.s4max.com/
The next game will be on the 5th. At 20:00 GMT.
There is aa thread on the other website too. Cross posting here since a lot of the old players may not be following both websites.
Feel free to discuss the failure that was the vfun revival, dump old clips and screenshots. Or host yourselves.
The spiritual sequel to Photo Kano and Reco Love got an updated rerelease on Switch, Switch 2 and PC, now including English text as a first for the series so we gaijins can enjoy this bishoujo gem.
Interact with six different heroines including your sister who can't stop coming onto you and a literal, unironic JS kuudere. Take photos of their panties, put them in one of several dozen skimpy outfits, and blow wind up their skirts. Find true love in this youth romance sim among the shameless semi-gravure, for in the end Eros serves Amor and the best kind of boner is a heart boner. And then have fun in the new freeform Pro Photo Mode where you can take pictures of almost anything you can make of the game's assets with little to no restrictions.
Basically, this game is super fucking based for a Japanese game in 2020+6 (so based it got banned from Steam, in fact) and I wholeheartedly encourage you to support it and the developers. We simply don't get many games like this any more ever since the west started flexing its institutional muscle to put pressure on what Japanese developers are allowed to make and sell.

Not only does valve release a contoller which costs 100 dollars which firstly short circuits if anything metallic touches it and secondly the controller has hardware drm which means that you need to have the steam client open to use it. What an absolute joke. Remember controller prices? Remember when you could buy a controller for 30 bucks? You still can get a controller for around that price so it is absurd that steam and microsoft is pushing for controllers that are this expensive. I think i looked up xbox controllers and saw that they were around 80 bucks? And there was a ELITE reminds me of the katana autist controller for nearly half the price.
Im way too off topic now so lets get back to shitting on steam. Steam just a day or two ago started selling the steam deck with a massive PRICE HIKE of several hundred dollars. Mind you that the default price was still expensive for the perfomance that it provides. What an absolute joke of a company. I guess tf2 and csgo cases weren't enough to fund another yacht for Gape. Fuck Gape and fuck his Cleveland Steamer Shitbox and the steam cult.

The Jackbox Party Packs are games in which you can play with
people in a single room or stream them live with others around the world. They can range to coming up with witty punchlines and jokes in Quiplash, creating strange T-shirts in TeeKO or wondering what the prompt is in Drawful!
ITT we discuss things you do in videogames that ruin the game for you, but it's YOUR fault, you do it to yourself. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME THIS WAY, BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO.

>Methodically clearing out every single enemy in an area before moving on.
Etc..
I've looked through the catalog, and there seems to be no JRPG thread.
Well, we need one now more than ever. It's finally that time, folks: At long last, COZY OKADA's new RPG is officially revealed! The game's title is "Villion:Code". Here's the trailer and a whole bunch of new info. Let's talk about it.
/watch?v=2m_sxlFb3pU
For starters, here's a machine translation of the story description:
>In the near future, humanity stands on the brink of extinction.
>One day, an “anomaly” strikes the “Advanced Resilience Research Academy City,”
>established to confront the impending catastrophe.
>Abnormal creatures—known as “GEMs”—begin attacking the populace.
>Simultaneously, the academy city is sealed off by a mysterious “bubble,” cutting off all means of escape.
>Within this closed, desperate situation,
>people are forced to confront the “karma” they each carry.
>What is the truth behind the anomaly enveloping the academy city?
Sadly, I don't see any western release info yet. Oh well, probably for the best. I'd rather have them take their time with the localization than rush out a shitty one.
As for the gameplay: The game seems to be going for some innovative real-time combat formula. I'm always cautiously optimistic with stuff like that.
The franchise about exotic fantasy animal control; where you can take an oversized weapon (and a large attack-ladybug if you're French) with your untrustworthy bipedal cat-slave to get mauled by a biologically reasonable fire-breathing tyrannnosaur to the tune of an obscure early 1900's symphonic reference, cuz the cute girl at the reception desk asked nicely and daddy could do with a new fur hat helmet with tacked-on scales (they make it more water resistant).
Mark nuked the thread on 8moe.
How many people here still carry a torch for moe console-tans in wacky JRPG plotlines? Yes, they (and Compile Heart) are still around. In fact, they're getting a new mainline after a whole fucking decade since VII.
https://www.compileheart.com/neptune/unlimited/
Problem is, uh, it looks kinda lame. The redesigns are all clearly designed to minimize the ero appeal (censorship), and the turn-based JRPG combat has been scrapped in favor of simplified action-based "press A to awesome" combat. But hey, at least you can fly now. All in all, it feels more like Nepshin Impact now than a proper mainline Neptunia game, especially when Sisters vs Sisters and Game;Maker had this exact same style of gameplay and we were told they were just spinoffs.
The main four CPUs we've all come to love are now getting upstaged by new goddesses who represent the current gen of consoles while making it seem like the old ones have retired. I for one would have vastly preferred they just made them new forms. The Candidates have been "promoted" to advisors to the new CPUs despite how ridiculous the idea of someone like Rom and Ram having any influence in government is. The plotline is apparently based on Neptune timelooping to prevent some major catastrophe that comes from space.
Compile Heart and Idea Factory are going all out promoting this game with interviews, Tsunako's direct involvement from the conceptual stage, limited editions including new Nepugurumi plushies that cost hundreds of dollars, DLC season passes, etc. It really feels like the final Hail Mary they have after they've dug themselves into a hole lately with a bunch of indie-tier overpriced neutered shovelware like Scar-Lead ("hey, did we miss the roguelite trend already?") or Calamity Angels (clearly a scrapped mobile game concept) that repeatedly fails to chart on the Famitsu Top 30 or move the line on Steam.Post 'em if you've got 'em! I'll start
This is from my singleplayer OpenTTD game. The save is pretty old now and I abandoned it after the lag started to become crippling, but I do think it looks really neat.
For whichever anon who got scolded over posting their artfagging progress over in the /agdg/ thread, this one's UUUU. Post ITT about whatever tutorial course you've been following, models you've tackled on or interesting resources you've been reading about modeling or texturing. Whichever program it is, whether free or paid cracked, whatever goes.
Lately I've been wondering about the possibility of specialized character software to entirely replace models made by scratch, for example something like MakeHuman for simple realistic people, VRoid Studio for weeb models or God forbid Daz 3D. Perhaps MakeHuman wouldn't appeal to actual professionals, but VRoid Studio on the right hands seems to be more than capable to produce very apt weeb models with half the effort. Granted every character starts from the same template body, but the workflow on hair/clothes/texturing that would be done generally by modeling/sculpting/image editing has been incredibly streamlined, excluding the fact most pro modelers already have a template of sorts of their making to not have to work on any character from scratch.
Excuse me for the lack of resources or good link, something should go here if I knew what.
Final Fantasy Versus XIII is gonna get rebooted as "Final Fantasy XVII". Not Verum Rex; Final Fantasy Versus XIII. This is the real deal.
The project, with Nomura in full charge, intends to deliver FFV13 as it was always meant to be, but with modern technical capabilities; more precisely, it's aiming to reproduce the state as it was immediately before the previous project was handed over to Tabata. This means:
- 100% seamless and open-world, with original locations, nations and cities ALL accessible and fully explorable (including Insomnia, Tenebrae, the entirety of Niflheim, Solheim, and also others)
- Combat returned to its original KH-like style, with all characters fully playable, and discarded gameplay elements restored (swimming, underwater battles, playable mechs, mech fights, multiplayer elements, etc.)
- All original story fully delivered from start to finish, with all original story elements included (Etro, the star in the sky, the eyes that can see the light of expiring souls, etc...) and all characters fully developed (including Stella) and returned to their original looks and roles; it will be 1 single self-contained game, with no sequels or DLCs planned.
Lore-wise, it will reuse the Fabula Nova Crystallis mythology, but with completely different terminology, so officially it won't have any connection to FF13 or Type-0.
The project has been in planning since the very moment FF15 released, and started active development in 2020; it was initially intended to be released in 2025 for PS5, but then decided to turn it into a PS6 launch title, which will also give them more time to work on KH4; hence the delay.
Story, script, voices and soundtrack are already 100% done.
According to the current plans, the official announcement should happen somewhen after KH4 releases. They're planning to keep completely silent until that point, and then release the game no more than 6 months afterwards, but those 6 months will be packed with lots of information releases, two very long trailers, and a huge marketing campaign.
It will be Nomura's crowning achievement, and his last work before retirement. Also (unless it does better than any other FF in history), it will also be the truly last mainline Final Fantasy.
Q) Who are you?
A) I can't say but that's not important
Q) Why should I believe you?
A) I'm sorry I can't give you any actual proof for this would put me at very high risk; however think deeply about why, after having teased Versus so hard for so long, and not even being forbidden anymore to talk about it, Nomura would still apparently choose to abandon it in order to give precedence to yet another KH, whose main story is now concluded.
Q) Why are you posting this?
A) The speculations about a possible Versus reboot have been going on for too long. After no less than 20 years, half of which waiting for (what was supposed to be) Versus, the other half being subjected to a constant tease-and-denial about its imminent return, people started gradually becoming de-sensitized. You can only keep people's hype on for so long before they start losing interest. If this keeps going, the game will release amidst the general indifference.
The suits at SquareEnix don't seem to be aware of this, neither does Nomura (who I still deeply respect for his creativity). I hope this will drive them to anticipate the official reveal so this painful game of edging will finally end. While techically representing a break of the NDA, I actually think I am doing them a favor by making this.
I would've posted this on 4chan for maximum effect, but I'm choosing this site for security reasons; if someone would be so kind to re-post it on X and/or 4chan, I'll be very glad.
Q) How will they justify having another mainline FF with the same setting and characters as FF15?
A) The story is implied to be set in the same world as Final Fantasy XV, but in a different timeline; this however will only be briefly and vaguely mentioned through the game; you won't need to play XV in order to understand XVII.
Q) What about Verum Rex?
A) It was never intended to be an actual game. It only exists in the KH universe; its only purpose was to let people know that Versus was not abandoned.
Q) What about KH4?
A) It's almost finished and it's coming soon; Yozora is playable and will have a major role in it. The game will reveal a lot about the incoming Versus Reboot in many ways (it will practically be a massive Versus commercial), but will have no official connection.
Q) What about FF7R part 3?
A) That's also almost finished. The name will be: Final Fantasy VII REUNION. Little to say about this, if you liked REBIRTH, you will definitely like REUNION too; if you didn't, you won't like this either.
Q) What about FF9 remake?
A) There will be no remake. The possibility was real (it was seriosly discussed for a long time inside the company), but in the end it was concluded against it. Work with the french animation studio is still continuing, though.
Q) Please tell me about...
A) I'm sorry, but this is my first and last post here. Goodbye!

What I'd do for a high-budget open-world Pokemon dating sim/JRPG in the style of Persona.
I don't know how they did it, but, at least up until gen 9, they've made some of the most memorable and cute female designs in all vidya.
I'll be going about my day, and suddenly remember a cute design of a gym leader or female MC.
It's a shame it's all going to waste.
Any fellow Elona players here? As a Kumiromi-worshipping farmer, I'm still having a lot of fun with the OOMSEST version. I've got autosaves disabled so I can savescum from time to time, but I try not to abuse it too much.
I was lucky enough to get the ridiculously good stomach mutation that lets me eat non-food items, helping me free up a lot of item space and develop my attributes and abilities frequently. Not to mention it helps me save money and keep corpses too.
Tailoring is some pretty good stress relief. The quality of the robes I craft is random, and whenever I get one I don't want to keep, I can eat it or sell it.
Anyway, I'm preparing myself for the upcoming annual "Baby Day", a.k.a. Party Day event on July 24. In case you didn't know, that's when shitloads of Bards spawn in "Party Time" quest instances and you can go on a Bard-killing spree all day long to collect tons of valuable instrument items, music tickets and more.
What'ya think?
Gameplay looks strange, but might be satisfying.
The gameplay looks similar to Dead Space without the horror element.
The combat is basically a modern JRPG, but with guns.
Reminds me of Ys, but slow paced.
It might be interesting.
Graphics look nice.
The style reminds me of Mirror's Edge.
English VAs sounds obnoxious.
Diana is cute.
You build a home base with her.
No official release date other than "2026"
I think it might be fun.
What are you guys playing in this last month of the year? Any game you want to share or warn about? Do you have a "Christmas game" you frequently played in this jolly days? I don´t personally.
Just finished Metroid for the first time. Never played any game of the series or much Metroidvanias at all. But I must say I really like it.
Not knowing where to go and being underpowered frustrated me at the beginning. But I soldiered on and started to find the game quite fun after finding upgrades and new paths.
Some complain I have about the game is that when you are crossing doors sometimes enemies can hit you without the player being able to do anything. That and that the bosses are underwhelming, with not even Mother Brain being much of a challenge (the tubes not appearing again when you destroy them even if you die helped a lot in that though). Overall, the second half of the game is not as hard as the first.
The experience was an adquired taste for me but I ended up enjoying it. Will play the sequel later but for now I´m thinking about what to play next.
The old masters died, but their spirit lives on strong.
Did I forget anything?
Anyone played any of the most obscure ones? How are they?
What are you rescuing from Myrient today, anon?
+Guide to a happy share thread+
>Leechers
1. Please search for shit yourself before requesting. We are not your mom.
2. If you can't find it yourself try the gitgud archives (gitgud.io/Blank/stv/) but keep in mind that most of these links are from the 8chan days and are likely to have expired or been DMCA'd.
3. If you find it in the archives and need a password, check the source thread if an archive of it is still up.
4. If you find it in the archives and the link is alive, repost it so it's less likely to get bitrotted away in the future.
5. If you see a string of hex characters with or without dashes (c12fe1c06bba254a9dc9f519b335aa7c1367a88a) it's a BitTorrent infohash. Remove the dashes and paste it into your client as a magnet link.
6. Use megatools to download from Mega. This sometimes lets you bypass their bullshit file quotas but not always, and when it doesn't you can just IP hop and resume the download as if nothing happened.
>Uploaders
1. When in doubt, upload first and ask questions later. Please make sure whatever you're uploading is actually playable, though.
2. Please don't upload to temporary filehosts. You never know how long the thread is going to last.
3. Keep a local copy if at all possible. Archive everything.
4. If uploading to a mainstream filehost like mediafire that gets crawled by DMCA bots frequently, zip it with a password to reduce the risk of an instant takedown. Prefer pomf clones and other small-time hosts over mainstream hosts.
5. When filling requests from a private tracker like GGn, don't go and search for the request right away if you don't have it. Wait a couple days and then download it. While the risk of getting /marked/ by some autistic tracker admin lurking the thread is small now that we're far away from 4chan, shit does happen and you get one account per lifetime.
6. If your internet is good and you have a PC running 24/7, consider uploading to a decentralized file sharing service like Freenet, IPFS, Gnunet, etc.
I have a geimu nook in my room with a CRT and old consoles. It just feels cozier than playing them on my monitor.
Exactly what the title reads. A large chunk of the process to selling the videogame to a public, at least in yore, was through visual media, advertisements. Regardless of how and what the game consisted of, there was and still is a small portion of the company working on creating visual hitpieces which will definitely sell the system/hardware/game, or at least inside their heads; whether that's true or not depends on whoever buys the game or not.
This thread is pretty much for visuals made to promote vidya and the like, but most specifically for the kind of "art" that leaves you entirely dumbfounded, repulsed, disgusted or all of the former. To sum it up, the kind of garbage marketing divisions can push and get away with that would rather make you question what goes through their heads instead of whatever they're trying to sell (You), past, present and future. I'll start:

What's a game that you haven't played for a long time because you just look at the case/loading screen/shortcut icon and silently think about how much work it's going to be?
Is there a game you're currently avoiding because you're thinking of your task list you have in it?
What can you do about it?

>Advice on building or upgrading
Post your build list or current specifications, including a monitor: https://pcpartpicker.com/
https://userbenchmark.com/ is ran by a huge Intel shill / AMD hater. We don't know his review autism, but now you know his, the numbers are accurate otherwise.
>Motherboards
Don't pair a K CPU with a B Mobo chipset, but pcpartpicker should auto-warn you about compatibility.
mATX / iTX is "cheaper" but are still ultimately gimmicks that fill a niche, and have less room for different parts / cabling (especially if you're a new builder). ATX is the preferable as the default.
>CPUs
Intel is limping along, AMD is the name of the game. AMD X3D CPU's aren't mandatory if you're looking for an area to save money, you can still get a most of the performance for a notably lower price with a non-X3D CPU.
>CPU coolers
Avoid liquid coolers with a single 120mm fan. Recent chinky AIO's have undercut the market while still being good quality, but the number of models has flooded the market - make sure you're getting the exact one that reviewed well, since many sound the same but have lower performance.
>RAM
It's not lookin' good. Bite the bullet and get scalped, or wait and hope the economy collapses (2 more weeks bro), flooding the market (at which point your paper money is worth nothing anyways).
RAM that hasn’t been made yet, bought with money that doesn’t exist, for data centers that haven’t been built yet, that can't be plugged in because national infrastructure can't handle the load, powered by fuel that hasn't been extracted yet, all to make unprofitable slop and jeetscams that your gramps will see on Faceberg and send you thinking is real, and paid for by the taxpayer at every step, because if it doesn't succeed, the economy hasn't grown in a decade, but is built on promises that all fall through at once, and all the moneyprinter printing hits us like the ground hit Wall Street Bankers during the crash.
SNAFU, the trillionaire CEO said it's not a bubble, so it's not a bubble.
>SSDs / HDDs
SSD for files / programs you're actively using, HDD for cheaper and higher-capacity long-term storage. Just a 1TB SSD is pretty standard, but SSD prices have also hit by the RAM squeeze. Avoid outdated Samsung 970 Evo Plus & cheapest poorfag NVMe SSDs.
https://ssd.borecraft.com/
https://serverpartdeals.com/
>GPUs
The prices are never going back down bro. Keep in mind what games you actually play and what resolution you're targeting, before overspending on an overkill GPU. The name of the game right now is VRAM, with many vidya releases starting to ask for (but not requiring) over 8GB for texture stability, even at 1080p.
NVidia aka NJewdia aka NJudea aka Team Green aka NGreedia aka Jensen Huang's Wild Ride aka Le Chateau de Merde aka nvidia still reigns supreme in terms of high-end performance and AI genning, but their products have definitely taken on a premium, even before scalping and supply shortages, even before their drivers getting worse, and even before them acting like they have a monopoly they haven't got. DLAA is alright, Fake Frames are cancer that should be avoided, Upscaling slowly isn't a meme but should still be avoided (it might also be taking steps backwards if they keep using AI code; Preset L is still the best). The 50 series finally have PhysX now, but is still less of a hardware leap over the 40 series due to NVidia's overreliance on AI.
As of writing AMD / Team Red finally got their shit together and released GPU's that aren't unstable, sub-optimal embarrassments - the 9070 & 9070XT are extremely efficient and competitive for gaming at their upper-midrange hardware grade and are much less scalped, but do keep in mind that if you're planning on using it for AIslop, AMD is still lagging behind heavily, and while FSR4 isn't a joke like FSR3, it's not DLAA.
Intel is a newcomer with the Arc line of GPU's, aiming at competing at the ultra-budget level.
Avoid: GPUs that were used for shitcoin mining, NVidia 40Ti-non-Super's and NVidia XX50's, NVIDIA GPUs in general if you're a Linuxfag.
>PSUs
Not worth buying a new PSU unless it's ATX 3.0 compliant. Avoid Untested / Bronze / Silver units like the tech-waste cancer they are. Aim for 50-75% PSU utilization at full system load.

>Monitors
Avoid: panels with less than 120Hz refresh rates, without a single DisplayPort input and Variable Refresh Rate technology (G-Sync/FreeSync). Check professional reviews for any monitor before you buy at sites like TFTCentral, pcmonitors.info, Monitors Unboxed, or RTINGs.
The bottom tier monitor for any decent gaming build has a 144Hz+ 24" 1080p IPS panel, of which there are many on market for around $125 (some great ones go even as low as $100). Aim for a panel with low response times and perceived motion blur mode (Black Frame Insertion). Decent 2160p (4K) gaming monitors start at around $500.
TP has the best refresh rate of any panel, but shit image quality (weak contrast and colors). The cheapest if you're looking for a ultrabudget pick, but IPS has caught up and isn't much more for much better. Ultra-high ends have decent color accuracy, but are ultra-overkill.
VA has good contrast and blacks, but shit viewing angles, better for TV than gaming.
IPS has good colors, but cheaper ones suffer from IPS Glow, where the corners / edges are slightly illuminated at all times, making them vaguely lighter / non-perfect blacks. Currently the general standard.
OLED has good HDR (including infinite contrast / le inky blacks) and nearly instant pixel response times. However, potential burn-in if any area is kept static gives them a lifespan, and 27" and up is your only choice.
MicroLED has near-comparable quality to OLED, no burn-in and lasts much longer until it dims with time, but is still new to the market and are extremely overpriced (as in, 5 figures starting range, 6 figures high end - enough to buy a high-end OLED, let it burn in, then get a non-ripoff MicroLED years down the line once the tech is there).
tl;dr: They all suck in some way. IPS is the standard, OLED if you've got money to spare.

Are there any libre card games?
I don't mean gambling games (like Poker) or even those that can be played with a standard deck (like дура́к) I mean something like Magic the Gathering or Coup or any of these... let's say "specialized deck" type of games. You know, the sort with cute girls and autistic mechanics. It could be a Trading Card Game, but I'm not hopeful any of those got a free implementation since their entire point is to milk players for money, and I want something I can host on my server to play with friends. Could be 1v1 or any sort of group matches.
If there are none, I'm also taking suggestions for something I can implement myself. The only constraint I want is a reasonably limited set of cards because I don't want to have to put 1000 different cards with different behavior in one game, so pretty much every TCG is out of the question.
Is anyone else on the Tomodachi Life boat right now? I recently pirated acquired this game and have been killing lots of time customizing the island to perfection. I am curious if anyone else has been doing the same.
>What is Tomodachi Life?
Think the Sims mixed with the publisher of Animal Crossing. There was a new one just released on the Switch. It's been making some decent waves as of late, and a lot of JP artists have noticeably been killing more time customizing their islands than drawing real art. Make of this as you will.
I'll post some of the progress I've made so far. You can probably get the theme I'm going with.
Feel free to post screenshots of your own island and residents
I didn't care much for portable video gaming as a kid, I had one of those bootleg Brick Game things, which I liked, and eventually got a GBA with a few cartridges for it, though I didn't enjoy the dark screen all that much, so I barely played it compared to my home consoles. I play mostly on handhelds nowadays though, the busy days with little time to play, mixed in with the comfort of being able to play while I lay down in bed, has really won me over recently. It's crazy how many are coming out nowadays, since Nintendo struck gold with the Switch.
How do you feel about playing on the go? What about playing in bed comfortably? Do you have a bunch of handhelds or just a few? What are your favorites from the ones you do own and how would you rate them in general? It'd be cool to have a thread where we can share this.
Let's have a Silent Hill thread. I've finished the first three Team Silent games now.

>What the fuck is this?
XPiratez is a total conversion for X-COM about naked musclegirls, stealing shit, kidnapping people and getting dogs killed. Also liberating the world from the dead hand of the Star Gods, but details.
>What the FUCK is this?
It's effectively a whole new squad tactics game in the OpenXcom engine. Forget (almost) everything you know about X-COM because every mechanic has been upgraded, tweaked or replaced in some way. You're sleazy pirates who know almost nothing about the fucked-up world of XPiratez, so taking enemies alive is much more important, the tech tree is massive and damn near anything can and will show up at some point. Lordfag is frankly insane for doing this but godspeed. Screen sharing is handled with noVNC on a dedicated server and chat is a cytube room, so all you need is a relatively recent browser to get started. Just show up and you'll be assigned a gal/catgirl/peasant and maybe a dog or two to pilot.
Everyone else is also free to do the usual ad-hoc emulator netplay fuckaround threads have been known for.

>no seriously, read it
>your choices are uber gals, catgirls and peasants
<ubers are the "default", strong, tough and have 80ish TUs at game start and get free night vision, but on catgirl route (what we're doing) every one is precious because casualties are very hard to replace
<catgirls have better TUs, skills (especially Firing and Reactions) and a punch that does lethal when everyone else does stun, but are significantly less beefy than ubers
<peasants are X-COM rookies with everything that implies, but they're cheap and the only thing you can recruit on the catgirl route early game so you'll probably be forced to play them at some point; try to take grenades and a bow since throwing is what they're least bad at
>pirate dogs are disposable scouts and item caddies that run fast and have enough reactions to spot enemies before they get gunned down by reaction fire, but don't underestimate their TU-draining bark and melee bite
>no seriously they're disposable, total dog death is almost a prerequisite to a good mission, that said try not to get them killed too early
>normal X-COM battlescape mechanics apply, so don't run off into reaction fire turn 1, remember your own reaction fire requires TUs, etc
>melee works in this game, but it works a lot better if you attack from behind
>take atombeer or moonshine for energy recovery and vodka for fatal wounds as soon as they become available, energy actually matters here and fatal wounds will dumpster your gals' stats and keep them in the hospital for weeks afterward
>take bandages (or bandage kits if they're available) to treat other units' fatal wounds
>this includes downed enemies with the blood drop icon over them, they're almost always worth more alive (big exception: zombies)
>remember to equip armor (click on the paper doll in the equip phase) before you start the mission; lordfag will usually tell you what to pick but if not pirate and sailor are rarely bad choices

ITT posts systems, mechanics, gimmicks that you've seen in videogames that you really like.
I'll start.
I've always loved it when a game has a smithing system. I really like how smithing works in Legend of Mana in particular. How you have this cascade of effects that can stack, because your mines/farms' quality impact the forging/tempering quality which then impact (if you get to it) the robots' quality--I love stacked modifiers like that and seeing things through an entire [craftsman] production process.
Also, it's kind of dumb, but see each special weapon's gimmick in the Megaman series was always great. If you love gimmicks in games, Megaman always kind of felt like a bargain deal.
Okay everyone, there's a FREE Adventure-RPG hybrid game I feel like sharing because the game is surprisingly fucking good and so I need to run my mouth about it. Heroine's Quest is a spiritual successor to Drug Wars the Hero's Quest (which was later renamed to Quest for Glory after some legal shit) series, that was released on December 26th, 2013, and it's perhaps the only such spiritual successor that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as them. It's like someone took a point & click adventure game and added a dollop of RPG mechanics and abilities that have actual fucking non-combat utility, along with combat.
I have been missing the feeling of a RPG that isn't hack & slash slop, where the game has actual fucking gameplay outside of fucking combat and your stats and skills matter for more than fucking combat, for a long-ass time, so this game has been a right breath of fresh air for me. The game is basically a point & click adventure game but with actual RPG mechanics on top. You pick one of three classes and then you get to pick between cranking up your stats and adding cross-class skills to your character, allowing you to do new shit. Every weapon has its own tricks and combat moves and if you aren't a warrior you should contemplate avoiding combat until you're strong enough. Some content is gated behind skills, some of it behind stats, and some of it is restricted by character class (warriors can use better weapons and armor and sorceresses get the best combat spells and I dunno what rogues get). You level up stats and skills by practicing them. Use some common sense for how to raise a stat and you will figure it out. Use a walkthrough if you fail at life. Seriously, check this shit out and play it (no I am not some kind of 12-years-late shill for a free game). I recommend you immediately crank up the difficulty and avoid using the map, as it's too fucking handhold-y. The game starts on easy mode which is for scrubs. Also there are bonus bosses on highest difficulty.

FEATURING: SHOCK TROOPERS, DEATHSMILES, AND RAYFORCE
Somewhere near the woods lies a gas station, neatly placed seemingly in the middle of nowhere; however, it is far from desolate. For there anons from all around gather inside a room. A room filled to the top with arcade machines. There, anons enjoy the evening drinking, calling each other faggot and just having a good old time.
>What is this?
Anons vote for some games (or someone just posts some) and play them until they beat them or lose. Arcade games that don't take long to complete and reward skill. Once finished they post their score and see who did the best. They give others advice, share what they think of the game, call each other casuals, say which character they would fuck and more.
>How much time do I have to play?
One month or until winners are announced. New threads are posted at around 00:00 UTC-8 on the first Saturday of the month.
>How do I play them?

FPS in black in white for better or worse, since you can't see shit and everything looks bland. They added white paint in the most obvious places for you to jump and also white ladders. They also added a flashlight to explore ventilation ducts or dark areas, the thing is you CAN'T use the flashlight outside of those areas, making it useless when you can't SEE SHIT in some part of the game, specially the sewers.
Items are easy to identify since they move like cartoons, but sadly they forgot to add that feature to items you can interact with like ladders, switches, doors or breakable boxes.
The story is about "muh racisum."
Gameplay? It is fun, shooting mice is fun, blowing mice is fun, melting mice is fun, wide variety of weapons and each level is different with new a new enemy to kill. It also has movement types like, dash, double jump, tail whip and helicopter tail, to move around the maps, not used a lot sadly, but I think it would get between you and killing enemies if they rely on them to heavily, but exploring the levels is fun, trying to look for collectables and weapon upgrade papers, the downside is sometimes you could break the game, which happened to me 2 times and also sadly, the game gives you the collectibles if you miss them, but not the weapon upgrade for some strange reason.
So yeah, the only good thing about the game is the game, the gameplay is fun and tammy is cute, bosses are also fun to fight with different gimmicks.
Play the game in hard mode, pick the mode with less shit in the screen and pump up the gamma and you are ready to go.

The game won't save this setting (I think), so to persist it, write that into a new line in the left4dead2/cfg/autoexec.cfg text file.
I don't think I've seen a single /gsg/ thread on zzz since day zero and I decided I've had enough of waiting for someone else to make it. The one on smug, which you can find here https://smuglo.li/vg/res/1231.html , was made a staggering four (4) years ago, only got 200 posts and the last was made 11 months back, so I think it's time we get our own and hopefully get not glacial levels of activity.
So, what are you playing? Still playing Parajew shit and incesting your entire family in CK2, blobbing in Vicky or has anyone been as far as decided to trying something new more like for a change?
Speaking of Parajew, the latest HOI4 expansion "Arms Against Tiranny" dropped a few weeks back adding a few more mechanics, which should've been in the base game to begin with but are instead, in typical Parajew fashion, locked behind a paywall, like slightly more in depth supply networks, transports, a barebones international arms dealing market and new focus trees for Scandinavian countries. I decided to give it a spin and pirated it for the 15th time and I'm now playing an (read: restarted a dozen times because I keep getting repeatedly fucked over by one thing or another) a-historically focused campaign as Shittaly trying to gigablob the entire universe and it's not going particularly great. Here's a recap of the events so far:
>wrapped up the nigger correction expedition just before March and justified against France while in the middle of it still
>knocked out the frogs by mid 38 after a rather slow and sloppy war, which I won 1:5 ratio, and yoinked all their navy which included 7 juicy BBs, 1 CV, a couple dozen light and heavy cruisers and over a hundred destroyers and subs
>barely managed to nick the the strategic Moroccan half of the strait of Gibraltar by declaring on nationalist Spain, sneaking in from France, making a quick push through an ever narrowing strip of land before it could get gobbled up by the other sides of the civil war and then nailing the peace conference just right to demand it and other minor bits of clay
>took less than a month and almost no casualties
>I'm starting to look at Uncle Adolf or the UK when fucking Marxist Portugal decides to declare war on me out of the blue
>they're landlocked so I just lmao naval invade them with not even a full army of nigger irregulars and own them in 3 weeks
>them being Marxist unfortunately translated to them also being in a faction with the USSR and now I'm at war with them but we are too far to fight
>meanwhile
>Germany is Germanying along doing typical somewhat historical path of annexing Austria, and then going to war with the Czechs and the rest of the balkans because they all decided to be in one faction
>Poland commies are about to win a civil war
>The UK and Japan have been doing fuckall
>Yugo balkanized
It is now almost Christmas 1938 and I'm preparing to invade Turkey from French Syria so I get access to the black sea and the Soviet border, also setting up some defenses in Portugal and the French/Spanish border because, since they're commies, I expect them to join the Soviets and the war as soon as they finish mopping up the anarchists. I'm not confident I can win against the soviets because I really don't have either enough divisions on the field or manpower to last, but they did fight a civil war so maybe they're not doing as well as usual.
Look at my blob in pic related 5 and post caps of your own blob or border gore or whatever. Also the infograph is several years out of date, it could use a revamp if anyone feels like doing free work.
1st of November in history:
>1179 – Philip II is crowned as 'King of France'.
>1805 – Napoleon Bonaparte invades Austria during the War of the Third Coalition.
>1894 – Nicholas II becomes the new (and last) Tsar of Russia after his father, Alexander III, dies.
>1911 – World's first combat aerial bombing mission takes place in Libya during the Italo-Turkish War. Second Lieutenant Giulio Gavotti of Italy drops several small bombs.
>1993 – The Maastricht Treaty takes effect, formally establishing the European Union.
Do you spend as much time on videogames as before?
Do you still have that awe exploring new titles?
Do you still enjoy them as much as you did?
I finally finished buying all the old consoles I wanted, as well as their respective flashcarts.
I now have a cozy little setup with a CRT TV and I love it. I don't know why, but it has allowed me to enjoy videogames a lot more for some reason. There's something comforting in playing them like this.
>What is this?

>What's in it?
little tiles, Ic2, thaumcraft, blood magic, littlemaidmobs, et futurum requiem, grimoire of gaia, hardcore ender expansion etc.
>Can my toaster run this?
It's an even lighter pack than last time and a few versions back. If you have a pc built after 2005 you should be able to run this.
>Did you include the difficulty retardation?
Considering how well that went over last time, I've elected to not add that retardation.
>What if I want "x" mod?
Mention it in the thread and I'll see about adding it as long as it's not too retarded.
>What's this scripts folder?
It's just aspect lists this time so thaumcraft can actually interact with most of the new blocks/items.

REMINDER TO DOWNLOAD THE UPDATED MODPACK
We're in the middle of a Slike boom, and it seems there's a new one every few months. In a tidal wave of pretenders, what's worth the time investment?
What's on your backlog?
What's your build like?
Who's walling you?
What's on your mind?
<What even is a Slike?
A vague subgenre of melee action-adventure-RPG's, typically featuring a hard / punishing-but-fair difficulty, a mature dark-fantasy setting with lots of lore (typically optional, in item descriptions), with a good variety in builds / gameplay approaches, an EXP penalty for dying (that can be recovered) and a highly explorable world with static checkpoints that reset the world on use, gated by numerous difficult boss encounters.
Any FromSoft-hypetrain-wannabe Dark Souls clone, that requires you to git gud, with a depressing setting that 2deep4u lorefags jerk off to and argue about, where you take your pick of rollslop / parryslop / turtling and STR / DEX / INT, then you lose your souls when you die, all the enemies respawn and you get sent back to the bonfire to do it again until da boss is dead.
Not every game that fits that description is a slike (especially with the term being used as both a tacked-on marketing tool and an insult), and not every slike fits that description - the most straightforward answer is that once you've played one, you'll intuitively know when you're playing another one.

A thread to post and discuss your favorite soundtracks in videogames.
What have you been listening to lately?
I've been listening to 3D Sonic games OST. Crush 40 gives all of these games a pretty good soundtrack. It's usually what I end up remembering when playing sonic games.
1) It's an RPG.
2) Features a 100% seamless open world that's a mix between Xenoblade Chronicles X and Genshin Impact, except you can't explore everything right away, it gradually opens up as you progress through the story.
3) Features lots of Spyro-like platforming sections, and lots of FFX-like puzzle sections.
4) Features a fast-paced action combat system that is heavily inspired by Kingdom Hearts and, to a lesser extent, .hack//G.U.., but also features a Gambit-like system for controlling inactive party members.
5) Features playable mechs for both exploration and combat (similar to Xenoblade Chronicles X).
6) Is heavily story-driven, and with a very long main quest (50 hours at the very least, excluding sidequests).
7) Features very few (no more than 10 in total) sidequests, but they're very long.
8) Features lots of secret areas/treasures/etc.
9) Features lots of minigames, such as: a card minigame, a Blitzball-like ball minigame, a racing minigame, a Tora!Tora!-like pixel minigame, and more...
10) Battles and some minigame will feature a local multiplayer option.
11) It won't feature any gacha system.
12) It won't have any paid DLCs.
13) Developer: Monolith Soft. Main platform: PS5, but no exclusive.
14) Staff
Director: Hironobu Sakaguchi
Scenario writers: Tetsuya Takahashi, Soraya Saga, Akira Tsuchiya; with some limited input from Yoko Taro and Tetsuya Nomura
Character-designer: either Shigenori Soejima or Nagi Ryou
Monster-designer: Shigenori Soejima
Mecha-designer: Koichi Mugitani
Environment artists: the author of Monolith Soft's mystery recruitment artworks, plus everyone who worked on Final Fantasy X and/or Genshin Impact

Will we ever get a poker night at the inventory 3? Also what characters would you like to see if they ever made a third game?
DOOM
Other retroFPS and retro inspired FPS can come too.
boomer shooters is the most retarded fucking tag I've seen till this day.
Since the thread has been anchored and I don't feel like hopping over to 4cucks /vr/ board or any other classic doom website since the community feels like it's in absolute fucking shambles holy shit I think it's time to bring it back up.
Post some Doom
Post some WADS
Post some MODS
Post some other retro fps like DUKE NUKEM
Post some of its COPYCATS
Post some new takes on an old formula like DUSK and all that jazz.*or make fun of them**
Post about the communities because GOSSIP is also fun.
Are you Mappan? Post it here TOO
Are you a Modder as well? Post some of your AWESOME gun sprites, textures, or other things you're working on here too.
If you can map, offer assistance or criticism to beginner mappers and people who are just coming back to doom mapping. Same with people who are modding for Doom. Or make fun of them for their lack of skill. I'm not your dad.
Despite the fact there was that one huge drama between Doomworld tranny jannies and admins seething about the fact Doomerboards users were shit talking them and can't control them. (Can't say I feel sorry 40oz, despite him trying to appease the troon brigade. He ended up labelled as a fascist transphobe in the end, lmao)
I dug around and found out about a couple of Doom addons that never made the light of day. Hacx was one of them. It was essentially supposed to be a cyberpunk theme total conversion with new weapons, different texture works, and etc. Now the reason it never made it was the release of Quake and by the time people were pushing the limitations of the ID Tech they lost interest in it.
Still it was an interesting wad to play through and dig around in doom builder to learn a bit more on doom mapping. (Which I highly recommend doing if you're really interested on learning layouts.) Unless you're looking for that cyberpunk theme itch I recommend playing Doomerboards AUGER;ZENITH over rated I know but its the closest thing I can think of.
NOW LETS FUCKING DOOM
I've played enough bullshit games that I have a hard time knowing when to "trust" a game. It's somewhat important because if I don't "trust" a game, then I'll look up a walkthrough online, and spoil the entire game or a sidequest for me. What I mean by "trusting" a game is stuff like:
>It's not going to pull "Sierra Games Bullshit" on me. I think the most infamous example I can think of with this is "Throwing away the spinach dip" (where you have to throw away spinach dip from your inventory way earlier in the story because the story doesn't really tell you that you automatically end up eating it in a lifeboat later in the story because the game doesn't tell you that you died because of botchulism due to the spinach dip.
>I'm not going to get "Bethesda Games Glitched" into a softlock state. E.g., typically in Bethesda games, I'll end up getting a key boss glitched into a wall with no way out and not only softlock myself, but because I can't see the guy, I don't even _know_ I softlocked myself.
>There isn't some hidden timer. E.g., the Excalibur II sidequest in FFIX or not even knowing you could save Shadow in FFVI.
>Oh, you missed an innocent dialog option/missed talking to one guy/etc. and the quest is ruined.
The only times I've known I can trust a game is...well, it only happened once. One of my friends told me, "Dude, you can trust Myst/Riven," and I was able to struggle through it (Riven was a slog, though). How do you know you can trust a game?
Enhancing your gaming experience with drugs
I made one before, but it seemed to be deleted. Lets talk drugs anons, specifically using them to make your gaming experience more fun. I am not a heavy drug users, but I tried some stuff.
I will list out things I have tried and what has made an impact on my gaming exp
cigs: nothing, smoking just makes me smell bad, I dont even get a buzz anymore. Basically I feel nothing smoking cigs, it just makes my breath and fingers stink.
***: local stuff, a stronger form of tobacco, basically smoking from a pipe. Depends on the tobacco, but generally stronger than cigs. Regular stuff still makes me buzz, but it is very short, only a few seconds. And the stronger ones make you convulse and vomit; it just looks fucking disgusting and not enjoyable at all.
Alcohol: i have been experimenting with this shit, raw vodka tastes like fucking shit, honestly, after years of just casual drinking, I still cannot fathom how anyone can enjoy drinking raw vodka. But mixing it is different. Im trying red bull and lemons??? not very good, but more tolerable, I might get addicted. It makes my fucking head spin with just a small bottle, if i remember right the its 35%. Since it makes me really dizzy, can enhance your gaming exp
Jägermeister + Red Bull: delicious, though Jägermeister is a bit too pricey for me, a tiny bottle is almost the same price as a vodka bottle. Now if i could find places that sell it cheaper, I might get hooked on this shit. Really though, even if you're not a drinker, try this one. It tasted really good, and even convenient stores sell the combo.
Vape: absolutely nothing??? like at this point i dont understand why i even vaped anymore. It doesn't make me feel buzzed. But I guess it tasted good? Anyway this shit boring, more fit in office work or something.
Todo list: zyn.
I can't comment on substances like weed or crack or whatever, since it's illegal to get and I don't want trouble. Basically, in my exp, not a lot of substance I have tried so far can really enhance gaming exp, albeit the last 2 ones. I really want to try weed at some point, it seems kinda cool. Anyway please share your exp.
You play 4th gen games on a CRT, right, anon?
You don't play them on a 1440p LCD display like a chump, do you?
What's your comfort game? Something that when you're indecisive, when you're stressed, when you're at a turning point in life, whatever, you find yourself coming back to. Basically, a game that you always keep coming back to and never seem to get sick of.
Picrel.
I've been trying a few nude mods, namely on the DOA Xtreme games.
It just feels lame and it's ironically enough, not as erotic as swimsuits and bikinis.
Take a pair of tits for example. For me at least, they tend to look more appealing when they're pushed together by a nice bra. It leaves more to the imagination.
Not only that, but the clothing brings them out more, while providing a nice, varied color palette.
That color palette is also important, because now that every character is naked, you can't tell them apart as easily, as when each one of them is wearing a unique piece of lingerie, each tailored for their personality.
Which is another negative, since collecting the vast amount of swimsuits is half the fun for a lot of these games, like GalGun, DOA and Senran Kagura.
I don't know, I think I just prefer the vanilla experience if I'm honest.
But what do you think, anon? Do you usually install nude mods in your vidya?
Old news, but Epic games basically threw the Unreal series in a dumpster and at the same time gave the fans the green light to host the files.
https://oldunreal.com/
Basically download the installer and run it and its good to go. That being said probably gonna do server later tonight for some friends.. We threw a model pack together for our server since UT doesn't download the upl to players which is needed to SEE the models and use them.
https://mega.nz/file/6543SSLa#_M_zN1DAjRRLCx_V6gvQvKc1n7ukXJOelVdUZgBsCAA
Pack's here. If you're up for it just drag and drop the contents into the UT2K4 install. Don't need it, but without it not going to see the custom models.
if I forget to drop the IP in here can always find it in the browser. Just look for the Funhole
Now in easy-modo.

>They really just called it Switch 2
Predictions?
I'm probably too optimistic, but I expect the name and very similar design to bite them in the ass, like with the Wii U.
It will absolutely not sell as well as the switch without another chink-flu and Animal Crossing.
Maybe it will all depend on the games, remember those? What do you think is going to be the "console-seller"? A new 3D bing bing wahoo and walking-sim Zelda?
Games you love so much that you would erase them from your memory to play all over again. For me its
>Mass Effect 2
>Sengoku Rance
>Half-Life 2
>Unreal Tournament 99
>Portal 2
You wanna know what really grinds my gears? When the dialogue ends in a game but you have no indication that it ended. You just end up standing there like a retard until you press a button and realize you can move around. Oh yeah and also, I hope whoever invented those segments where you walk behind a guy while he talks chokes on a peanut. You're never the same speed he is and you have to stop every 2 seconds.
Use this thread to complain about stupid shit you see in games; no matter what it is.
To deserve a thread, or not deserve a thread.
That was the question.
The answer is videogames.
FOnline 2258 – fresh wipe April 1
If you’re tired of overmodded FOnline servers and want something closer to the original 2238 / Reloaded feel, this is it.
2258 sticks to classic gameplay but adds enough new systems to keep things interesting without breaking the core.
– Hardcore difficulty, always
– Not only for nolife PvP players, new players can get in and progress
– Mercs and AI companions
– HP regen during combat (fights feel different)
– Long fights bring more enemies from outside the map
– NPCs actually move, live, and interact instead of standing still
– 100+ original quests and 100+ jobs
– Player-driven economy that actually matters
– Multiple builds, progression paths, events
– Yes, there’s strip, casino, and card games
Server is actively developed by people who worked on 2238, not some dead project running on autopilot.
Wipe is April 1 — everyone starts equal, no old players dominating day one.
If you want actual Fallout vibe instead of themepark garbage, come try it.
Find friends or shoot them. Your call.

PS2 turned 25 (by Japanese reckoning) an hour ago.
>favorite PS2 games

>what untranslated PS2 game needs a translation
What are some memorable moments in a videogame that have stuck with you?
I remember when I was really young pulling the master sword for the first time. The way the fog cleared, and as you left the clearing you could see the light filter through the tree canopy of the clearing as the animal ran away in the primitive graphics of the day left me with an indescribable feeling of wonder.
Going to the Moon in FFIV.
Finally getting tf out of Midgar in FFVII.
Finally getting tf out of Threed in Earthbound.
How calm winter was in Harvest Moon.
Just sitting on the intro music and theme in Secret of Mana.
Or, maybe just simply...FINALLY GETTING THE GODDAM AIRSHIP IN ANY GAME EVER.
Ever wanted to play a dating sim with Mario Party minigames?
This PS1 arcade port got you covered.
I did a playthrough last night with Rin and it was quite fun.
I love finding fun games like this. Did you know there's a proper dating sim Mario Party game on the N64 called Getter Love!!: Cho Renai Party Game Tanjou? The only dating sim on the console.
Had a harder time playing that one, but essentially, you aim for a girl and try to woe her before anyone else woes their girl.
Would make for a good game for a game night with your friends haha...
Also, related to the thread, I was considering getting a Saturn alongside a Saroo, because I like getting consoles with flashcarts, but are there games on the Saturn beyond arcade ports and Saturn Bomberman?

Radeon Software for Linux 25.20.3 Released - "Exclusively Open-Source" With RADV
>With the great upstream support for AMD Radeon graphics in the Linux kernel and Mesa, most desktop users / gamers / enthusiasts are best off just using the latest code shipped by their distributions or via the enthusiast-supported third-party archives/repositories. But for those on older enterprise Linux distributions, Radeon Software for Linux 25.20.3 was recently released for shipping that packaged AMD Linux graphics driver stack. This 25.20 series is the big one where they are now officially supporting the Mesa RADV Vulkan driver in place of their own former Vulkan Linux driver.
>Back in May was the announcement from AMD that they would be dropping their proprietary OpenGL and Vulkan drivers on Linux in favor of using the OpenGL and Vulkan drivers shipped by Mesa. They said that change-over would happen for the Radeon Software for Linux 25.20 release and now it's publicly available with the v25.20.3 build.
>This Radeon Software for Linux packaged driver update actually happened last week but happened quietly given the waning need for the packaged driver these days. I've been routinely checking the driver support page out of curiosity and then only realized the release took place today after checking with the ROCm 7.1.1 release.
>Sure enough, the change-over happened with Mesa RADV and RadeonSI Gallium3D used by default. AMD AMF also is removed as planned in favor of going with the Gallium3D VA-API state tracker:
>"This release marks a significant milestone, featuring exclusively Open-Source software
>The Mesa Vulkan driver is now officially supported, complementing the existing, robust Mesa OpenGL component. To maintain a 100% open-source core, the AMD proprietary OpenGL and Vulkan drivers are no longer included.
>AMF is no longer included. AMF users are advised to transition to the open-standard VA-API / Mesa Multimedia for continued hardware video acceleration."
>Besides Gallium3D VA, the RADV Vulkan driver also supports the Vulkan Video extensions with that video acceleration encode/decode API also continuing to see more adoption.
>The Radeon Software for Linux 25.20.3 release also adds Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 support (it's about time) while dropping RHEL 8.10 support. The officially supported Linux distributions by this packaged driver are Ubuntu 22.04.5, Ubuntu 24.04.3, RHEL 9.6, RHEL 10.0, and SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP7. Those on newer Linux distributions like Ubuntu 25.10 or Fedora Linux are best off just using their latest built-in packages.
>The Radeon Software for Linux 25.20.3 release can be downloaded from AMD.com.

Japanese game and comic platform DLsite launches its own payment alternative following Visa and Mastercard suspensions
>DLsite, a major platform hosting digital content like games and doujinshi, introduced a new, semi-in-house payment method on October 6, following suspensions of international credit card brands like Visa and Mastercard on the platform. The new alternative, dubbed “Minna no Ginko Payment” is being presented as a seamless, instant payment service tied to the Japanese digital bank called Minna no Ginko.
>The announcement comes in the wake of escalating pressure from payment processors regarding adult content hosted on DLsite. In April 2024, DLsite publicly announced it would temporarily disable Visa and Mastercard payments, and to this day, the domestic JCB is the only credit card brand supported on the site.
>Likely in response to these circumstances, DLsite’s parent companies viviON and Eisys launched the new Minna no Ginko Payment method. This new system permits direct payments to DLsite by linking a user’s Minna no Ginko bank account with a viviON account ID, thus bypassing the need for intermediaries.
>To encourage users to adopt the new payment method, DLsite is offering a bunch of discounts and rewards, but sadly, the option will likely not be available for users outside of Japan. According to Minna no Ginko’s official homepage, opening a digital bank account from overseas is not possible, and they do not guarantee the app’s operation when accessed from outside of Japan.
>On a related note, back in 2022, the Japanese art commission platform Skeb made a similar move when it introduced its own cryptocurrency called Skeb Coin, likewise in response to traditional payment options becoming limited.

Lol, did people expect a nation that's one of the highest globally in anti-Pissrael sentiment and that regularly discusses the JQ on its daytime television programs to just bow before the hooknoses? Pantsu and fanservice is safe (at least in Japan). Let's celebrate the germ of this momentous occasion (and contain the shitters who will inevitably rage out at this) in this thread.

A simple, short puzzle/adventure game presented like a VN and inspired by old Flash adventure/"sim" games. We'll be working in Ren'py, and the game will mostly be slice-of-life comedy and light romance with some cheesecake or ecchi.
>You've barely done anything in the last two years!
The GitGud repo needs updating, but despite writefag's periods of absence there has been solid progress made on character designs and illustrations.
- Base Libbie and XUE (the mouse girl in the swimsuit) have all their expressions done.
- Maff's expressions are mostly done.
- Concepts/sketches for Art and Kiki are mostly done and their designs are practically final.

Guide to a happy share thread
>Leechers
1. Before requesting, search online and use distributed search engines (e.g. InfraSearch, Opencola, YaCy, FAROO).
2. Look in CheckBeforePosting, and the archives.
3. If a password is required check the archives, especially the source thread if it's listed.
4. Be as specific as possible. If you have the cover art of the file you want, post it in the share thread.
5. Links to files will purposely be misleading by having spaces, lines, keys & passwords split in the post. This includes torrent hashes.
a. If you see a string of hex characters (e.g. c12fe1c06bba254a9dc9f519b335aa7c1367a88a) with or without dashes, it is torrent hash (remove dashes).
b. If your torrent client is shit, prepend magnet:?xt=urn:btih: to the string.
c. Find and Replace (sed/tr/awk) is your friend.
>Uploaders
1. When in doubt, upload. Ask questions later.
2. Upload to multiple hosts and keep a local copy if space permits.
3. Obfuscate your links; encode them in base64, and/or indirectly link via a private paste bin (e.g. zerobin.net) to confuse bots and web crawlers.
4. Protect your uploads with a password, key, or generator. Rename the files something random (e.g. their checksums). Maybe even pad files to the nearest GB or so to confuse content identification engines.
5. If your connection is stable, it is extremely advisable to self host using anonymity tools like Freenet, I2P, Gnunet, distributed NNTP or MixMinion/Mixmaster.

What CRPGs are you nerds playing?
Currently I'm jumping between Pathfinder WOTR and RogueTrader. I find WOTR better than Kingmaker so far but I'll probably end up attempting to finish a playthrough of Kingmaker after I beat wrath at least once.
I never beat the final boss fight in FF7. I just couldnt do it no matter how hard i tried so i looked up a guide and bred the most op chocobo to get the most op attack in the game only for me to almost lose again. I won but i felt no accomplishment.
I got lost in Chrono Trigger early on and didnt know how to navigate anywhere so i had to look up a guide.
I played Counter Strike Go for over 1500 hours.
I never got a nuke in any of the Call of Duty games.
I couldnt beat the Dark Souls 3 tutorial boss.
I have looked up several puzzle solutions just because i couldnt solve them after a few minutes.
I bought Battleborn
Come, enjoy popular shit that people only like because it's Newgrounds. Post bits of your runs or some optimization you might've figured out.
>the fuck is a Mewgenics?
Mewgenics is a turn-based, grid-based tactical RPG where YOU have to survive by making absolute abominations of god for cats. It's 1/3 that, 1/3 a eugenics simulator, and 1/3 tetris bullshit because you need to keep getting better furniture for your house and autisticly rearrange it until it's crammed to the brim with stats that make your cats fuck more and produce better offspring.
Since cats always retire after an adventure you'll need to keep breeding them and tossing away more and more cats. And try not to let them be inbreds.
Made by the same guys who made Binding of Isaac, so expect gross-out humor of all sorts.
>wasn't this already announced in 2013?
Yep. 12 years. One point for every year.
>you got a torrent link?
It's available on just about every popular link provider, now's probably the best time to do it too since it's still riding its high. Pick your poison.
Keep in mind that you'll want whatever has the latest version though, since the older the version the more likely it's gonna have issues with GPU spikes.
>what's this gay internet shitflinging about it this time?
During those many, many years of putting it on the shelf, the devs asked many people from across all political spectrums, autism spectrums, and normal people to record meows for them. You can see where this is going with webms related.
>post YOUR runs and protips, shitass
Alright fine, here's some based off what I've learned in my runs so far. Spoilered in case you wanna discover it on your own.
Seriously, take your time in the beginning of the game, rushing gets you nowhere, this is a real slow burn.
For consistency I generally like running Fighter/Tank/Priest/Ranger. However if I have time I like doing solo/duo runs with other classes to try and let them pass down their good skills so I can rely less on RNG. Of course it's always worth doing runs with classes you don't play often so you can unlock more skills for them and increasing those RNG odds. Most of the time though I've been substituting Priest for Druid when I unlocked it.
Mage imo is a bit on the shitty side because it's squishy and its spells only activate in its line of sight, but its strength comes in affecting the battlefield. Like spawning large chunks of water and then zapping it to the extreme, freezing it and anyone who's wet from water, or setting fire to tall grass and stacking up burn damage. This of course assuming you have good RNG with skill rolls. It's practically required to know all field interactions to play this class effectively.
Between the choice of treasure or furniture, always choose furniture.
If you wanna remove cat shit from your house quickly and easily while you've got cats in the way, going to the furniture selection screen helps a lot.
If you have issues with collecting coins on stages, any physical attack on a tile with coins/foods collects it.
Will the normalfags say no to Jewtendo and boycott it, or will they get another credit card and buy the new console and 80/90 dollar games setting a new standard of prices?!
I can't fucking wait.
Nintendo Halts Switch 2 Pre-Orders Over Trump's Tariffs
https://archive.ph/20250404234439/https://kotaku.com/switch-2-preorder-price-tariff-trump-nintendo-1851774764
>New tariffs threaten massive price hikes on gaming hardware and other consumer goods
>Switch 2 pre-orders were supposed to begin on April 9. No longer. In an unprecedented move, Nintendo announced on Friday that it’s halting pre-orders for its upcoming $450 hardware launch because of new tariffs in the U.S. set to go into effect beginning on April 5.
>A statement from Nintendo, first obtained by GameSpot, reads: “Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.”
>The Switch 2 reveal this week showcased big new games like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, but also big new price jumps that took fans by surprise. On the same day the Switch 2 was revealed, President Donald Trump announced new tariffs of over 20 and 40 percent on some countries, including China, Vietnam, and Japan.
>They could push game and Switch 2 hardware pricing even higher for players in the U.S. starting later this month on April 10. Trump has already said he’s open to negotiating the new trade taxes, however, and Nintendo could be waiting to see if he reverses course before moving ahead with pre-orders as previously planned for the Switch 2's June 5 release.
>Pre-orders were set to begin next week, with retailers like Best Buy and Walmart already promising midnight launches for the most anticipated console launch in years. Pre-orders were also set to take place directly through Nintendo beginning in May, though with a series of strict requirements that would exclude all but the most hardcore fans from having a shot at qualifying.
>Even before the latest Trump tariffs were announced, fans had been calling on Nintendo to drop the price of the Switch 2 and Mario Kart World, which is set to be the company’s first $80 release. Chants of “drop the price” have been flooding the Nintendo Treehouse Live streams on YouTube meant to showcase exclusive new footage of the company’s new Switch 2 games.
>The tariffs, should they go into effect as planned, could raise prices by hundreds of dollars on the most expensive electronics unless Nintendo decides to eat the cost of the tax by letting it cut into Switch 2 profit margins. Many analysts had speculated that the company had already built uncertainty around higher tariffs amid an escalating trade war into its current $450 pricing for the Switch 2, but its latest statement suggests the console could end up costing even more in the U.S. by the time it launches in June.
>The Entertainment Software Association, a U.S. trade group that represents Nintendo and other gaming companies, said the tariffs “are going to have a real and detrimental impact on the video game industry.” ESA senior vice president Aubrey Quinn told Game File this week “Every company, every industry, the video game industry included, needs to think about what’s best for consumers, best for business, and best for employees. Supply chains are complicated and, certainly, supply chains don’t change overnight. Everything that is considered or decided can’t be a quick turnaround and can’t be a knee-jerk reaction to any particular announcement.”

So Terraria released a big update last week. It got me thinking about what genre it, and other "block building" games are. I've heard Terraria described as a "Boss Rush", a "Sandbox game" and a bunch of other shit, but I'm leaning towards it being a metroidvania.
Arguments for Yes:
>2D sidescrolling sandbox platformer that demands exploration and backtracking
>Movement based upgrades that help with traversal
>health upgrades hidden throught the enviroment
>Secret weapons and unique areas hidden thoughout the game
Arguments for No:
<Upgrades technically not mandatory to reach new areas or even beat the game.
<New skyblock mode proves you can literally remove all exploration from the game and it still functions.
<Lack of intentionality in design. Comparing 1.0 release to 1.4 proves that many of the metroidvania aspects were added later.
Also Terraria general.
Been a while since we had one and I've been thinking about it again so it's time to talk about some Monster Hunter.
What are ya...
PLAYIN?
HUNTAIN?
MAINING?
CARTIN TO?
Or do you hate MonHunt and want to bitch? Well friend, come on over. We have room in this thread for many opinions, even wrong ones. I myself haven't played in a while. Rise didn't catch on with me the same as the other ones did. I hate the dogs, to much going on with all the palicios and everything during a hunt. Maybe I should give it another go.
Also maybe we could get a hunting group together again. We did it a bit for portable 3rd and it was pretty fun.
Post the current eyesores the industry is pumping out thanks to Unreal Engine 5 and the decline of quality assurance. Also, feel free to post on poorly optimized titles and the rising scourge that is causing people to drop out in a soft crash in spending. This is pretty much a covert "shit on Unreal Engine" thread, highly inspired by all the recent GAYASSLANDS 4 posting in the news thread. Also, I would have more animated images but this one gif from Squad takes up too much space and nearly hits the limit, rise in filesize limits when
It's also funny how many internet losers are coming out in full force to defend these travesties and try to gaslight everybody into using DLSS to cover them up
What's a game that you wish that came out, or you're still desperately hoping will come out some day?
I'll start with a few ones:
>Nero
Because Dante was apparently too manly, so that faggot Izuno had to make his own twink version of it.
Probably went like this:
Izuno: "Dante? Nah, he's way too masculine, let's make the same character, but lame and gay! And i want him to become the new protagonist of the series!"
I think that Izuno guy was alright when put in charge of game mechanics, but he was complete shit at character design.
>Viola
Because Bayonetta needed to be replaced after only 2 games that came out so far apart, and after the fans waited so long for a third installment, they surely must have been tired of her, right?
>And they came out with that shit.
Here's your new protagonist, bro!
Probably killed the series for good.
>Yakumo
Ninja Gaiden 4 isn't even out yet, but i already hate this character.
Yet another case of: "Main character is too masculine, let's replace him with a twink faggot" by retarded Jap devs who think you get old as soon as you get out of high school.
And the first info about this character already killed any excitement i had about about Ninja Gaiden 4.

Does anyone here metagame?
Do you set your own game rules and win conditions in different environments?
I like sandbox games for that, personally. I raised an Anomaly NPC from rookie village to max level, then set him loose and just stalked him until I saw him die to some monolith. He even had an exosuit so I was sad.
do you still play "the game" ?
Anyway let me know what you think of my new sweet dope track.
How do you guys think Sony will go about the handheld market going forward? It seems they always did something different, with the PocketStation it was more of a gimmick meant to enhance the PlayStation, then for the PSP and PS Vita they tried to make a portable PS2 and PS3 that were their own devices, though by the end of the Vita's life they essentially tried to rebrand it as a PS4 companion since it failed as a dedicated handheld, and for the PS Portal it feels like they either gave up on trying to beat Nintendo in the handheld market, while also trying to do the Switch's hybrid model on stronger hardware, and I guess this was the way to do it.
Will Sony throw their hat in the ring again with a new PSP/PS Vita or will they keep the PS Portal model? Or perhaps ditch the enrire concept of handhelds yet again? I recall that before the PS Portal they sort of tested the waters with the Backbone One PS Edition, I guess they could also just make a smartphone/tablet controller too.
Downloaded rimworld so I guess we are having a rimworld thread.
Any recommended mods? Also how the fuck do you pirate rimworld mods from steam, can't believe I just asked that question.

Is there a mod that removes niggers?
Disgaea was a good game. I will check out the other games on the franchise later. I hope they all have playable maids.
There really should be a whole genre of games where the objective is to collect and train as many cute girls as you can, then use them to steamroll through the main story. Bonus points if you can give them guns.
One of the things thats quite annoying is when you talk to someone about an old game and you start to notice that the person you are talking to is just parroting something. You'll notice phrases,words,sentences being almost exactly the same. Kind of like deja-vu. And something that has happened several times is me coming across a video essay on youtube (which i never watch) and seeing the exact same opinion expressed in that video. So for instance a shitty medicore game called Mad Max i recently played. Another example would be Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days. Another shitty game being praised simply because youtubers says its a hidden gem or some masterpiece that everyone somehow forgot or ignored bla bla bla. Its just very interesting because you could simply go back into the past by looking at old reviews to see how everyone thought of the game. The worst part about this is that normalfags cannot think for themselves. Whatever the youtuber says the normalfag repeats. So now these games are considered to be somewhat good with normalfags which doesnt even make any fucking sense. Common thing i see is that alot of people that have these opinions say something like
>oh i played this in my childhood
or something like that. So they obviously have some sort of bias towards it already. Just because you played a shitty game as a kid doesnt make the game good. Fucking retards.
Oh and i almost forgot to mention No Man's Sky. Remember that shitty game? Well now its considered a redemption arc something something. Basically some faggot youtuber made a video about how the developers are innocent and didnt deserve the hate and how the game is actually good now and now every dumb fucking normalfag parrots that shit.
I think i could maybe include Spec Ops The Line here aswell. I dont think anyone thought of it as more than a mediocre third person shooter when it released but in the past couple of years theres been a massive shift in opinion on how its somehow this DEEP game. The pretentiousness. These people sound exactly like the art people that pretend there is somehow some hidden meaning or something DEEP in some piece of shit. Its annoying because these are clearly not good games and yet people come to believe they are good because other people said so.
Here have a picture of the DEEEEEEEEP thought process behind the retarded pretentious developers behind Spec Ops The Line. Wow so DEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
DIRTY, DUMB, AYYLAMO SCUM
X-COM, NUCOM, Xenonauts, come one, come all. There's plenty for us all.
If you aren't aware there is a MP thread that plays xpiratez so if you want to get in on the catgirl corpse assembly line go on and give them a visit.
I've started playing the Xpiratez mod for X-Com and now I demand a general thread about the series and you're all going to partake whether you like it or not.
My piratin adventures be goin well. I have 3 bases right now and only THREE enemy bases on planet. And two are going to stay because they are MERCS and StarGods so fuck that I aint going. This is probably the my best run I have so far, some of the older versions would plop down Sky ninja base and then my game would be over.
>What is the Xpiratez mod
Uhhhh it's like 600 yearsish after the OG X-com defeat and you play a band of amazonian mutant piratez who are keen on making a mess. The OpenXcom engine is pushed to it's absolute limits with a new Melee system, armors, gun stats, special units, CATGIRLS, and even gnomes, the sexy kind. It's long, it's hard, and it's full of seamen, it's Xpiratez. You rob, you pillage, you steal piles of Shotas from the church seriously, I got like 20 of these little bastards. And you untie the crazy world you live in while having as good a time as you can. Eventually you start getting wrapped up in some stuff that's much deeper than you are aware of but that's just what makes it more fun!
Funny enough I never beat the OG Xcom but I got close enough. I've been meaning to try out X-com Apocalypse, I should probably take a trip to the openapoc page and see how their progress is going.
NUCom got me into OG-COM, I can see they kinda tried but they really gutted the system that made the originals fun. Never played Xeno but it's on my list along with all the other spinoffs and derivatives of x-com in general.
NOW ANONS, play X-COM or something like it and be reactionfired to death turn 1 with me.

DOMINOS, RISE OF THE PIZZAMAN MAN
It's so nice, they had it twice edition
Well what is this "Dominons" is it safe for my kids?
Fuck no, that little autistic faggot is going to be screaming about the overpowered jews from his bedroom at 3am.
Dominions is a fantasy turn-based strategy game created by two dudes. One of them is a teacher.
The game combines a simple presentation with an extremely wide array of strategic options, including over 3400 units, 1100 spells and 400 magic items. Turns are resolved simultaneously,
It has simplistic graphics but is easily moddable and extremely deep.
Dominions is set in a fantasy world that draws inspiration from historical nations, cultures and myths. You will not encounter the elves of conventional fantasy in this game. Instead you might lead a nation of vanir from old norse myth. Aztecs, romans, israelites OY VEY!! , greeks, kievian rus and lovecraftian horrors are just a few of the inspirational sources of the game.
Basically, it's an autist’s wet dream of a strategy game.
>Dom6mod inspector: This lets you browse units, spells and items in the game
https://larzm42.github.io/dom6inspector/
>Dom6wiki: Mostly up to date information on Dominions 6, may have to reference 5's wiki
https://illwiki.com/dom5/start
>Blitzserver for hosting games
https://beta.blitzserver.net/games
This game is a hell of a learning curve but if it tickles your autism you are in for a treat. The game is split between 3 "ages" Early, Middle, and Late with nations rising and falling as time marches on. This includes the units they posses, magic they can use, and spells available. There's a ton of nuance into how you can play with the most powerful statement being "it depends".
The game is playable in singleplayer mode and I've been told the AI in 6 is good for a knifefight in a phonebooth but the game really shines in multiplayer. Much like Kenshi, getting your assbeat makes you more powerful when seeing what a living breathing person does to you. It's taught me the value of mages, thugging, super combatants and what kind of retarded blesses you can do.
There are a lot of concepts in game to wrap your head around such as thugging and item creation, including the intimidating stats screen for a unit. But don't let it stop you, the game is complex, not complicated.
And if you don't want that just play Mictalin with a hellbless and go to town before you burn up as a glorious phoenix.
There is currently a ZZZchan game up and I'm sure anons would be willing to join more if asked. Don't be shy to ask about concepts in the thread.
Go now my son, play Dominions, make mistakes, learn, and rise to become the true pantankoman!.
SOULSLIKES
Which is a name I hate but it's sort of become a way to describe the Demons souls, Dark, Elden, ect, flavor of games. So fuck it, I'm going to use it. This also includes non Fromsoft titles that are in a similar vein.
With the current DLC for ER on the way I've taken to actually trying to beat the game. I find that what happens is that I play it, get bored of my build, then try another one. Recently since picking it back up I've stuck with a dex/fai build and I'm enjoying it enough. I'm tempted eventually to do a build around just using those Carin sword sorceries and not even bother using a weapon but I'm sure I'll change that a few times before I settle on another one.
I got to Radahn and he is slapping my shit because I forgot to level VIG and now I have to go see that one bitch and rebirth or get good but I think there are a few more things around that I can do to get some souls runes to pump my vig up a few points. I don't know how many anons here play but I've always thought it would be fun to try and play together, or at least do a boss or two.
Speaking of the Soulslike older from titles are Kingsfield and ShadowTower are more than welcome as well as are any other recent games that have come out emulating them, or older titles that are the same. Just talk about gaymes.
I might have broken my right thumb today, I haven't done any exams/tests on it to know for sure yet, I just know it hurts, it's all greenish for some reason and the space where my thumb articulates is where it hurts most, though I can still articulate it and do tasks fine, it just hurts, anyways I'm skeptical to play video games as maybe it'd make things worse even if it doesn't hurt much.
What do I do? I'm thinking of using a keyboard, any more ideas?
I woke up the newfag lil j aka joyuse aka jewuser last night and it sent him into a rage while trying his hardest to appear calm. hes on red alert so you dont notice him no pun intended the man even lied about sleeping too but hes a global mod on this site.
jewuse lies about everything and keeps doing strange activities on sleepy hes doing a lot of other things than just deleting the feds illegal cp spam.
hes working the sleepychan like he's being paid per hr while making sure his queermo tranny futa and spam from his sacred browns on b polluting the site gets to stay. his friends get a pass because they posted the cp so he could become a global janny to fuck with us. you are expected not to notice anything strange.
All the other jannies are mysteriously gone and silent. surely its nothing and just a coincidence or something because his end goal is totally not just trying to make you disinterested in the site.
you see jewuse hes a true crest innovative tactics master. you better not start making fun of him on zzzchan its going to destroy his loser online pussy larp-a-anon career. Soon he'll allow the bbc spam while your post gets deleted for making fun of his big jewish nose. it's really big unlike his penis.
Anyhow since this is a gaming board im delighted to inform you that i've started a re play of Dead Space im enjoying it a lot. reminds me how gaming used to be so good.
>Advice on building or upgrading
Post your build list or current specifications, including a monitor: https://pcpartpicker.com/
Provide specific use cases (like playing vidya, editing or programming).
Specify your budget and region.
Think twice before deciding to buy something to avoid buyer's remorse.
>Motherboards
At least one PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot.
Good VRM (power delivery) is required for CPUs like the i5 13500 and above.
Don't pair a K CPU with a B mobo chipset.
>CPUs
HTPC(4K60)/Web Browsing: 5600G, 14100/12100
Vidya: 7600, 7500F, 12600K, 12700KF; budget: 5600, 12400F
Overkill vidya: 7800X3D; alternate: 14600K/13600K
Workstation: 7950X, 14700K, 7900X; budget: i5 13500
AM4 upgrade: 5600, 5800X3D
Avoid iGPU-less CPUs, 5600X (if it is more expensive than the 5600)
>CPU coolers
Air: Phantom Spirit EVO/Peerless Assassin 120 SE; budget: Freezer 36 Air
Liquid: Arctic Liquid Freezer III
Avoid liquid coolers with a single 120mm fan.
>RAM
DDR4: Zen3/AM4 - 2x 16GB 3600 MT/s CL18; for locked "non-K" 12th/13th/LGA1700 - 2x 16GB 3200 MT/s CL16
DDR5: Zen4/AM5 - 2x 16GB 6000 MT/s CL30; for unlocked "K" 13th/14th/LGA1700 - 2x 16GB 6400MT/s CL32
Slower kits are also fine, if much cheaper. Just make sure you check the benchmark comparisons.
Note that the sweetspots are bound to change with the upcoming Zen5 and Meteor Lake processors.
>SSDs
Avoid: outdated Samsung 970 Evo Plus, cheapest poorfag NVMe SSDs.
https://ssd.borecraft.com/
>GPUs
Avoid: GPUs that were used for shitcoin mining, 4070 Ti, 4060 Ti, 3050, NVIDIA GPUs in general if you're a Linuxfag.
1080p: used 3070/3060 Ti, 4060/3060 12 GB, 7600/6650 XT/6600 XT; budget: 6600; poorfag: used 2060
1440p: 4070S/4070, 7900 GRE; budget: 6700 XT
2160p: 4080S/4080 (at MSRP); budget: 4070S Ti (avoid MSI models), 7900 XT/XTX
Production: 4090, used 3090; budget: 4060 Ti 16GB; poorfag: 3060 12GB
>12VHPWR
DO NOT USE ANGLED 12VHPWR ADAPTERS
Fully seat a 12VHPWR connector in its socket, otherwise the connection can melt.
>PSUs
Avoid: untested units, Bronze/Silver rated (assuming you live in yuroland).
Not worth buying a new PSU unless it's ATX 3.0 compliant.
Aim for 50-75% PSU utilization at full system load.

>Case (from $ to $$$)
mATX: I don't fucking know.
ATX: Lian Li Lancool 216, Lian Li Lancool III, Fractal Torrent.
AVOID: 'Silent' cases, fanless cases, Corsair 4000D airflow, Montech AIR 903 Base (awful stock fans).
>Monitors
Avoid: panels with less than 120 Hz refresh rates, without a single DisplayPort input and Variable Refresh Rate technology (G-Sync/FreeSync).
Check professional reviews for any monitor before you buy at sites like TFTCentral, pcmonitors.info, Monitors Unboxed, or RTINGs.
The bottom tier monitor for any decent gaming build has a 144+ Hz 24" 1080p IPS panel, of which there are many on market for around $125 (some great ones go even as low as $100).
Aim for a panel with low response times and perceived motion blur mode (Black Frame Insertion).
1440p 27" high refresh IPS is a common target for many new builds. 1440p is relatively easy to drive with even mid-range graphics cards.
Decent 2160p (4K) gaming monitors start at around $500.
OLED monitors have good HDR (including infinite contrast) and nearly instant pixel response times. However, potential burn-in is an important consideration for OLED monitors.
TL;DR: They all suck.
>OS
Install Ventoy on a flash drive, then transfer the iso files to it.
You can activate Windows with KMS_VS_ALL:

Virtua Fighter 6 on the horizon.
Tekken 8 season 2 just announced Fahkumram to the displeasure of everyone.
Street Fighter 6 added Elena and announced season 3, Ingrid is in.
Garou: City of the Wolves flopped and the CEO stepped down, they announced three seasons prior to release, so we will see if they continue or axe them.
Guilty Gear Strive... continues to exist, I suppose.
What are you playing? Looking forward to anything?
A thread for the curious and the not-so daring; short (1)-and-done questions, some cheap advice, awful posts you respectfully type in the reply field instead of the thread box, anything. Anything videogames. The thread about videogames for the videogame lovers in this videogames board.
A question that's been sitting on my mind, how do these girl-centric franchises with a six gazillion girls and essentially no men canonically deal with reproduction? For example Touhou or Kemono Friends (which is technically a videogame foremost), where many different different species of cute girls inhabit the same time, and some still have relatively short lifespans. In Kemono Friends I believe it's a fantastic substance that reacts with animals in order to produce cute girls, and that transformation can revert back, as well as it is implied friends live very long lives. However, once morphed into girls, they're girls right? Do they reproduce? I'd like to know. This is videogames, at the end of the day.
No thread on the catalog so I'm making one. Mainly for the classic grid-based party dungeon crawler but other games are welcome too (not like it's a genre with many proper titles and it already peaked on PS2).
I want to play 4th gen games on my PS3 but the DS3's d-pad sucks.
What's a good third-party USB controller with a great d-pad?
I wanted to get a defender since it's specifically made for the PS tripple but it's like 50 bucks.
Dedicated thread for the appreciation of simulated female entities within computer games, both hornyposting and not as much. Effortposting is welcome and Internet fisticuffs are encouraged.
Post about whose ur're wifu, her measurements, her behinds and her glimmering eyes and silken hair carelessly fluttering in the wind that keep your blood rushing through your head every night, and down your groin every morning.
Pic related, it's me.
What are the best videogames of all time?
I opened google search and got hit with a barrage of bullshit. IGN's lists Breath of the Wild as the 1st choice just for marketing hype, with a few safe choices like Super Mario World before the 1st place so people won't say the list is full of shit. Other lists were scarcely better.
What is ZZZchan's list of top 10 videogames, list of best game per genre, and list of best videogame per console generation?
GET READY TEAGAN ALTO FANS!
It's anon's favorite time of year (probably)! The time where
