Gay Rat Wedding posted:if that's the first place you went, there are 2 other branches you can go and one of them is considerably easier. the more you explore you'll find mea culpa statues that increase sword damage and make those "hit once and wait" enemies a lot faster. that said the game is fairly slow paced overall and there are other mechanics like what's bothering you such as waiting for moving platforms to come to you, so you may just want to write it off as not for you

Any last minute suggestions in the sub $5 range for hidden gems? The steam algorithm is pretty hot garbage but maybe that's me not doing a discovery queue every day so it better matches my sensibilities.

The other big tip for shareholder meetings: Bring the chicken. She has the lowest cost to use of any worker, so it's great for when you need something to use in an emergency. The persuasion of the character used for the first counter doesn't matter, so she's perfect for breaking shareholders even if it's not a match in the rock-paper-scissors system. The chicken stayed in my team all the way until the end of that mode.

It also thankfully banishes visual novels to their own separate list. https://steam250.com/hidden_gems I found out about it when The Void Rains Upon Her Heart got a big effort post here earlier, it currently sits at #2 on that list and it's definitely exactly the type of cool weird overlooked indie game that a "hidden gems" list should be highlighting. I can't remember who posted about it but someone in the game's discord posted a video review that also does a good job selling it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9dHyT1kW1c Ragequit posted:I agree with most of the Steam awards handed out this year, though I am not so sure about Sims 4 considering it came out 6 or 7 years ago. The Steam Awards don't really mean anything because both the nominees and the actual winner are just user poll results, and also most of the people participating in that poll are just clicking through it as fast as possible to get trading cards.

Okay, managed to get my company in the Top 50. I definitely don't get 3 million yen per turn but I assume that's at the end. Halfway to 3 million yen now due to 260,000 yen per shareholder meeting.Begemot posted:The other big tip for shareholder meetings: Bring the chicken.

You can get by pretty easily by giving your directors promotions and paying for their training. Leveling them up also improves your Command Point total, so bring your highest-level employees as your board.

It does. Omelette is good for about 2/3 of the game and will always be useful for shield breaking but you will want some high charisma SRs and SSRs when the shareholders start having tons of defense. At the same time the threshold for winning the minigame is not that high and the apology bailouts will mean you'll probably be able to succeed regardless

Hidden in Plain Sight is one of the best local multiplayer games imo and it’s $3 right now. Basically a bunch of game modes where there are a ton of NPCs wandering around, and the players control one at random. You have to accomplish some objective while avoiding other players figuring out who you are- eg touch every statue in a room without being stabbed by someone else. It’s actually incredibly fun (especially for people who aren’t super familiar with video games) despite looking really, really unpolished from the store page.

FutureCop posted:I feel like I'm constantly being timed and need to ignore my completionist tendencies ow ow ow but anyways failing rolls is the intended way and usually funnier. it's very much a "failing upwards" game. also you have to erase 20+ years of western Bioware-Bethesda brain worms where they make/want you exhaust all dialog and then Magically Fix The NPC at the end. DON'T. stick to some sort of role or ideology, or whatever seems funny, and just do that. Leave the other dialog options alone and just walk away. The very first NPC is there to teach you this but people probably have a lot of bioware brainworms to pluck out to get over that. And by not doing every dialog choice you will probably come out ahead and save a lot of time. much like life, you're just supposed to roll with the tidings. don't sweat it.

Yeah but I gather it stands on its own pretty well, and has some music by Toby Fox. The worst thing I can say about Homestuck's fandom is that it's the same as any fandom that reaches a critical mass. The worst thing I can say about Homestuck itself is that it's about 5,000 pages too long and I liked Problem Sleuth better, but it definitely still had its moments.
