You need to check for depth with the scanner. Or just use a ladder for a makeshift bridge. You can also stand still to regain stamina. None of this actually matters for the most part though since rivers shouldn't be a thing you care much about later on. Lostconfused has issued a correction as of 21:46 on Aug 8, 2020 |

I checked, I was just over confident. Had ladders but they weren't long enough, or it looked like they wanted to place directing me down into the river. My wife will be glad I got the dishes done, and I'll give it another crack tonight after dinner.

genericnick posted:I played a lot of Stellaris last year(2-3 DLC behind?), but once you have seen the events it's just not that engaging. There is a sort of small window at the start when the AI is threatening, but it falls off pretty hard by midgame. So you might have a few memorable early wars where you pay attention to the alliance game, but once you win those the AI stays stomped. Then you get the midgame events and end game events, but there is no real political geography at that point so the game feels a bit undifferentiated.

oxsnard posted:oh and supposedly CK3 is absolutely amazing. I know someone who's had a release copy for 2 months now. He's made a gay tolerant cannibalist religion work for multiple generations. Says the RPG stuff is turned up to 11 and is great good reminder; just slammed down a pre-order for that. gotta get those extra clothes.

i love how you have one character most of the time, and your internal thoughts heavily reflect it, but with clothing items and buffs, you can pretty much win any of the other types of checks eventually, especially if you boost them with other poo poo, it's so perfectly designed edit: i'm annoyed i missed a red perception check in the church where i guess you try to see the hole in reality, it was like 80% with boosts/clothing/stats, but i failed it and couldn't re-do, i didn't save scum either, I think i only did once or twice

It's the sort of game where you try it for like 15 minutes and then conclude that it wasn't even worth the bandwidth to  Mercrom posted:I used to really like first person shooters but nowadays I want more than just clicking heads and nice sounding weapons. I tried playing Painkiller again but I found it boring. I guess Titanfall 2 and Doom Eternal has ruined old shooters for me. tbh Painkiller kinda sucks, it just happened to have the good fortune to come out at a time when most of the genre was just shooting terrists in not-Iraq. Proper 90s shooters like Quake or Duke and the like are still a blast.

I told you to shut the gently caress up." also i was going for the more comical interractions this run but i couldn't resist playing straight cop and telling the owner of the book store she's a piece of poo poo for making her child stand out in the rain busking for business

They're old school aesthetics with modern design sensibilities, Dusk is so good and maybe my favorite SP shooter in a long time.

After Tsushima I wanted something different and now I've gotten into Ultimate General: Civil War. It's like a lower budget Total War but with an emphasis on actually recreating the battle as they happened. I'm not too terribly good at these types of games but it feels great to sweep the rebels from the field at Shiloh. Lick 'em tomorrow, Grant?! Let's lick em today! (I think I'm going to turn into one of those weird Civil War nerds like Matt Christman)

smarxist posted:jesus. I dunno I found HZD a bit of a snoozefest to be honest. The story didn't grip me. quote:My big problem with the Paradox style is that it's overly abstracted. All the information is just a sheet full of numbers, and some go up and some go down and at the end of the day I find it hard to care about all these drat numbers. It's petty, I know, but I find it alienating. It's a problem with all Paradox games with the exception of Crusader Kings 2, which I think was a lightning-in-a-bottle situation where Paradox created a game that still had the arbitrary numbers, but they became less important compared to the storytelling of the person and family you're playing as in the game. Alot of their games rely on personal storytelling and narrative to go along with what you're doing in the game. CK2 makes this easy to achieve, then followed by EUIV and modded HOI IV. Despite Stellaris being the most open to customisation and creating your own empire/race/ethos, they've never figured out how to not make Stellaris a game of balancing numbers and statistics, so by the time the mid and late game comes around everything feels very stagnant. Despite that I'd still recommend Stellaris as the top choice for space 4X. Distant Worlds Universe comes close, but it's not nearly as polished.

Started playing CK2 again now that CK3 is coming out soon, and I managed to establish a Satanic Empire that stretches from the UK, through France, and all the way through Italy to Rome, kicking the Pope to the fuckin' curb. Badass.

It was this: Midway: Turning the Tide in the Pacific The cards are printed in both English and Japanese, and there's an English translation of the rulebook in that BGG page.

A new stream horror game is out, Scrutinized. It seems like a mix of PT with Hello Neighbour since youre infiltrating your neighbours houses who might be killers? It looks interesting but maybe just a creepypasta game.
