iirc it comes like that by default and also the lighting is loving terrible ancient so if you don't crank it and if your character fails the paper bag test then you'll be replaced with a pitch black void with eyes in a lot of cutscenes

i didn't start playing until last year and my brown human looks fine. I tried making a dark red dragon and it just looks weird in a lot of the lights, but maybe it just doesn't play nice with non-realistic skin colors.

my friend plays the big lion people so she's got all sorts of problems with them (hardcoded hair :rubby:)

I really like the easily and mid game of stellaris, but have never made it to any sort of end game

the exploration and early contact stuff is my favorite

yeah its really neat, dont get me wrong, i just dont think i have the kind of time this game is gonna demand

fighting seems really anticlimactic, bascially just a bunch of little lines and Number Go Down, was kinda hoping for some Homeworld style cinematics

stellaris is fun but ya the mid-late game usually ends up dragging unless you like military conquest as you and wait for the endgame crisis

ok its been a little while and my opinion of stellaris is that i'm sure that someone really likes this but imo its a lot more like work than a game really should be.

last game of civ I played took so long and ended up getting bored of it because it was too easy.

I don’t really mind never finishing a game as long as I enjoyed whatever

the early game of stellaris where you're star trekin' across the universe is great, the midgame where you've run out of universe to explore is extremely boring and I've never seen the endgame

Downloaded the FTP "Hexceed" off steam. It's good! Maybe not anywhere near as hard as Hexcells, but it's a nice little hex-based minesweeper clone.

this was my experience as well. i played it while it was new and my understanding is that while it's a very different game now, it still drags in the middle. also rotor is right it takes fuckign forever to do anything

i wouldn't mind so much the long gameplay but it feels very addictive and its just hours and hours of choosing new leaders and building new poo poo and telling this guy to go over there and someone found and anomaly and ok now where was that guy i was sending places poo poo i need power gotta sell some food ok another monopoly hmmm gotta set up my fleet then tell this other guy to build poo poo over there gently caress another admiral died gotta get a new one ok poo poo another anomaly i gotta tell someone to look at that and there's never like a point where you feel like you can put it down so i spend like 5 hours at that poo poo without even noticing. Feels way too much like a hamster wheel with a tiny trickle of dopamine.

drat reminds me of my biggest peeve with civ is you’ll have sent a unit somewhere but they went close to a barbarian and got scared and forgot what I had told them to do and now they want orders but I can’t remember why I sent them or where they were meant to be going

last stellaris game I played was good. I was right next to a giant space worm stuck in a black hole, so any pirates that came to raid me got instantly eaten. then I got owned by audrey from little shop of horrors

i'll be honest: PS4 graphics when done well were #WHOA #WOW enough for me but some games on the PS5 look AMAGING. (i've this computer set up in the living room so I can play nintendo while i shitpost)

e: then again Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2 looks AMAGING to me. idk i'm easily impressed or blind?

Yeah, but you're paying that anyway. And you could play more than one game a month if the PS Plus library had any depth.

lol your colleague has good taste

Ori's done - I'm not crying, you're crying - so today i started playing next unplayed metroidvania in my list, The Messenger

so far: feels good to control, i'm enjoying the chiptunes, and i could not have picked a harder shift in tone from Ori if i actually tried :v: also i kind of enjoy the immediate bulldozing of the fourth wall
