My bestie has a minecraft server and I have spent the last few hours making tunnels with glass floors and a river of lava underneath those glass floors. I really enjoy the carefree nature of the game and it is nice to play interior decorator

exquisite tea posted:The actual act of getting around Possum Springs can be rather tedious and the dream sequences do get kinda repetitive, I agree. Thankfully they kind of taper off as the story progresses. Mae becomes a much more sympathetic character once you begin to learn more about what she's actually going through. Yeah, I didn't like Mae much at first but her interactions with Bea brought her character out in ways that ultimately became much more sympathetic. I'll definitely be interested in seeing if the Mae that gets reflected through her interactions with Gregg seems different when I replay the game.

Well it turns out that almost all Intel processors made in the past ten years have a massive security vulnerability and also I am in the vicinity of "explosive snowfall" for next day or so, so time to roll the dice a bunch I suppose

I voted Senua but I must give it up for the glory of TressFX.

I finished NitW this morning and I feel like it was too short? Part 3 and 4 seemed to just spring out of nowhere and then it was over. Great game though, I still have to play through the extra content.

Great game though, I still have to play through the extra content. Yeah, the game does feel a little too short in some respects and there are a few tedious parts (I agree there should have been some kind of fast travel system and if you don't know what you're doing it's easy to get lost during some of the dream sequences) but the story and characters more than make up for it. There's also some pretty decent new content in the recent Weird Autumn edition that actually helps make the story even better (for example, I recommend talking to the dog lady in the sewers as much as possible, you'll see why at the end). I really would like to see the development team make another game like this in the future, even if it isn't a direct sequel. Though speaking of which, have these guys done anything significant prior to NitW?

walking around is really tedious already and i'm in part 3 (of 4???) and each morning there's a part of me that dreads having to go around to every corner of the town to see all the dialogue even though i love the dialogue it's just so much walking downtime

I vaguely recall in one of the dev logs that climbing around town was initially meant to highlight casual racism because some of the animal people are upset that others are so agile but the racist angles were dropped through production.

I think there were also going to be more references to the fact that the cast is made up of animals but that ended up being cut as well. So you're left with a society where anthropomorphic animals live alongside normal ones (some even owning the latter as pets) and everyone's ok with this. Though I suppose it's another case of the Goofy/Pluto situation where you're not really supposed to think about it too hard. While you could change the entire cast into humans without really altering anything else I actually like the way the game's presented, it makes it feel more unique.

I figured the tedium is by design since you're a college dropout who has jack poo poo to do except wander around, look at poo poo, and talk to people. The walking was okay, but I didn't really enjoy the dream sequences very much.

I also really didn't care for Mae, she was a pretty bad influence on everyone around her in the story. I enjoyed the game, though I basically grew up in possum springs so ymmv

Mae being a confused shithead is essential and part of what makes the game so good

Yeah I don't think it's necessary to the narrative for the characters to all be animals but it does help make the aesthetic as good and memorable as it is Also human characters would make the setting that much more depressingly real

So is Night In The Woods basically "Distressed Millenials: The Game" Cause I have enough anxiety about that stuff IRL, not sure why I'd want to deal with it in a game too

because it's cool to have more tangible artful and layered depictions of your own anxieties and fears rather than keep them inside your head as a millennial, i felt genuinely healed after playing because of the commentary it makes on how to deal with those issues. it feels good to have another touchstone encouraging me through these dark parts of my life. the new life is strange did this for me as well. just my onion
