the cross-stitch (?) medium really simulates the scanlines that make vg pixel art pop. great job

yeah it is cross stitch, and I'm really happy how it turned out. I considered making it on a very dark blue fabric which would have really looked like non-phosphor areas of a CRT peeking through on the inside of the sprite, but the sprite is outlined in a dark color and it might have looked off.

also it was surprisingly difficult to find good reference sprites. best I got was this sheet but if you zoom in on the full sheet you can see the resolution of the sheet is off from the resolution of the sprites leading to some sub-pixel smoothing which I had to edit out.

hope my friend likes it, the SoR series were some of the first games he had.

oooooh yeah, the season challenge requires you to be airborne in a suit for 30 seconds, right? guess i never considered hopping off a cruiser

the discover new systems one is frustrating me. i suppose i should grab coords from another character and pop to better location but I wanted to do it as a fully independent character

i haven't been back on my expedition character i prolly should. easiest way to discover new systems would probably be to to find the nearest wormhole and then branch from there.

that's what I thought! my luck must be bad; two wormholes in and the neighboring few systems were all discovered, and at least one was a few years old. if I keep going I'm sure I'll find fresh stars

i switched to my main to pop around and build more bases and almost forgot about expeditions entirely

maybe taking a wormhole, then jumping a few systems laterally and taking another wormhole will do the trick. if you find an undiscovered system taking the nearest wormhole to that should do the trick in theory

i’m about three hours in. it feels good to be back. my only gripe so far is that they added a voice to your character which i really don’t like in general and feels especially out of place in a game like this

of course then i ran into the other character so now i know why she has a voice :haw:

If I loved Dishonoured and have (but haven't yet played) Dishonoured 2 is the 2014 Thief game worth it or will it be strictly a downgrade?

E: I really liked the other Thief games, I even didn't mind the semi-open world one that wasn't actually open world and was so poorly received that it almost tanked the franchise.

Death Of The Author Outsider but it's supposed to be mechanically different, doesn't have the karma system* from the first two or some poo poo?

*: I was legit :smith: when I realized that I had basically hosed-up whats-her-name's future rule by making with the stabby on all the guards the first time I played through.

E: D2 is going to be Steampunk Greece rather than Steampunk London right?

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is basically Dishonored 2.5. Bit too heavy to be DLC, much too short and similar to 2 to qualify as a full-scale sequel. It's set in the same place as 2 and is just as gorgeous and finely-tuned, but it's quite a bit shorter, reuses one map from 2, and it throws in a lot of new game mechanics which you really don't get much of a chance to explore before the game is over.

I liked it. If it's cheap to get, get it.

the one thing that's starting to get to me in pathfinder: kingmaker, is that i always have to end up retreating back to my outpost to heal ability score damage. overall, despite the world map travel, it definitely feels more constraining than pillars of eternity 2

There's a difficulty option which lets you heal ability score damage in one rest, I just turned that on as it's bullshit busywork otherwise

2014 Thief wasn't anything great iirc. also a cross-gen (e.g. ps3/ps4) release so worst of both worlds. there's probably a playable demo

i only got like 3 hours in tho
