Pile Of Garbage posted:just finished Subnautica, that was a really fun game! is Subnautica: Below Zero just as good? will probably hit that up next. it's not going to have the same  wonder that the first had due to the simple fact that you're already familiar with most of the mechanics. if you just want *more* subnautica then you can do a hell of a lot worse than below zero. i wasn't as enraptured by it as the first one but it was still an enjoyable experience

i would have stopped playing minecraft ages ago but since having kids, they have kept me up to date. the new caves update is actually pretty cool. makes underground exploring way more mysterious and spooky.

Pile Of Garbage posted:someone recommended outer wilds as a thing i might enjoy knowing that i liked Subnautica and have played a shitload (1,028 hours yikes start with dark souls 1. every game after has iterated and improved on that style but ds1 is extremely good. i liked that game so much i got a tattoo inspired by it. theres only a few newbie tips you need: 1. try rolling. a lot. 2. gear and build literally doesnt matter you can beat the game wearing literally any armor using any weapon. i guess put points in endurance early on if youre worried. 2a. every weapon has different attacks and animations and poo poo so certain weapons will swipe horizontally or vertically depending on attack and that makes a difference 3. theres not a ton of signposting in this game by intention, so if you keep getting murdered by poo poo, maybe try a different place for a while 4. dont look poo poo up. this game extremely brought back my feeling of being in elementary school when pokemon came out and every day at recess we'd discuss things we found that day and how to catch this or that. it is really loving cool to just explore and find poo poo in this game the game is challenging until it isn't. youll click at some point and then just fly through the entire rest of the game.

counterpoint, play dark souls however the hell you like. I played it with a lot of foreknowledge from streams and I still had a blast, the bosses are great and even the enemies leading up are a real challenge re: rolling, my best tip is that it’s usually best to roll *past* enemies rather than to try and roll backwards. I hate dark souls 2 because they “fixed” this by making enemies spin like a turnstile it’s a great game though. I love it because you can succeed by both building up avatar power over time, or by building up your own skill. try playing different builds!

in ds1 i went with a generic strength build and used the zweihander which was fun because you can stunlock a lot of enemies with it (you can also get it at the very beginning of the game if you're brave, and remains one of the best end game swords). in 2 they added the power stance mechanic so i did a dual scimitar/rapier dexterity build, and in 3 i went full pyromancer. it's a lot of fun

ds2 is so frustrating - at least now. i remember liking it back when it came out but leading up to elden ring i was playing through all of em. ds1 of course is great, ds3 is loving amazing, bloodborne is cool, demons souls still god tier (esp the ps5 remaster) but ds2? jank, ugly, sounds like poo poo, tuned way too difficult i was SL150 with a hex build and was going through the DLC for the first time so i did the fire place and just... annoying. i loving hated it. uninstalled.

AnimeIsTrash posted:It's great, one of my friends has a server we all play on. They've made some pretty impressive things, and I have made a little mud hut on a small island. i finally started getting into red stone this week. i built a little trash disposal where you put garbage into a chest and if you pull the lever next to it it'll toss everything inside into a lava pit. it was real gratifying when i finally got it working, just about the same rush as when i get a difficult bit of code working. so now of course i'm just thinking of all the new things i can build with it my friend built an automated tram station. you enter the building and press a button which dispenses a mine cart. if you miss the mine cart a switch detects it and routes it back into the chest it was originally dispensed from. if you get in there's a series of junctions where you push a button on the left or right and the signs above them will tell you what your destination will be. it's great gently caress now i'm seriously considering recording some walkthroughs of the different bases / cool things we've all built and posting them here

i love how they do armor in dark souls. it's not as simple as bigger armor = take less damage, wearing heavy stuff will actually make you run slower and roll *way* slower. but it will also allow you to take heavier hits without getting your actions interrupted. there is an advantage/trade-off to almost everything another newbie tip: use your shield a lot

Jenny Agutter posted:just play dark souls 1 and don't think about it so much the only forewarning you really need to know, which obviously doesn't even apply that much anymore because so many games have copied this mechanic now that it's fairly common, is to learn about how the iframes work before you really jump into it. this is a brick wall that a lot of people run into because it's not really obvious with how otherwise unforgiving the game is and it doesn't make any effort to explain it to you at all in fact get used to the game not explaining *anything* to you at all. so generally try to figure things out on your own but don't feel bad at all if you need to fire up a wiki from time to time
