Ya i held off until it was recently on sale cause i heard it was poo poo, but tbh ive been having a ton of fun. I dont know if they've improved it significantly or its just scratching an itch but ive put.... To many hours into it recently.

Theres a WAR_FX mod that basically just makes all the particle effects permanent and it murders your fps but gat drat the map looks cool as hell after a fight. It can even affect your ability to engage effectively in a heavy fight, there will be so much debris in the air you really need to move around / out of it to see your target. Adds a cool layer to the strategy.

Theres a lot of other real cool looking mods I wanna try once i finish this first playthrough.

get a 100 ton mech with lots of bullet hard points and shred with Ultra Autocannons. it's been a while since i've played but those guns were a bitch to find

i had planned to basically use it as a switch and have an easy-to-transport tv jaming device at my partner's, but i think that might be out of the question

such a nice looking device, but I really wish they'd kept the win/win2 style clamshell. you could toss it in a big with no case and not have to worry about the lovely thumbsticks getting caught on anything

I know this. It's why I don't even start main story missions when I don't have an hour to spare. Though in typical Kojima fashion I'm still expecting side missions to "accidentally" drop me into a long cutscene at some point.

heh, "an hour"

(e) then again maybe in the director's cut there's more checkpoints

man, i did promise myself that i'd get around to death stranding, and with it on game pass the excuses feel very hard to make. but otoh slay the spire is right there in that same list, and i still miss some ascensions.

played a bunch of hunt showdown with some friends, killed a dude who had TTV in his steam name, then watched his stream for a bit and ended up playing with him for a few hours after my friends went to bed

such a wonderfully stupid game

Allow tool, common sense, speech bubbles, while youre up, and defense positions are all great and don't change the gameplay at all

some of the others like the recipes or animals add more complexity and hospitality let's you make a retail store and hotel for visitors

Thanks for this, I installed allow tool and common sense and they have made the gmae so much better.

simple sidearms is good too, allows your pawns to carry one melee and one ranged weapon at once. makes combat a little easier if you’re starting out, though I think enemies get the same advantage

i've avoided all mods until now, but might have to give a couple of these a shot.

can you apply a mod to an existing game, or do you have to start fresh?

this is actually the thing that finally got me to stop playing genshin impact

it was a fun game at first but then i made it a habit and beat all the quests and just kept going, until they released a couple of event bosses in a row where you had to set your own difficulty tweaks (more difficulty=> more reward) and i was so mad about how lazy that game development strategy was that i logged off for good

rimworld is actually perfectly fine without any mods and there’s barely any bugs to speak of. i played vanilla for the longest time, always opposed to mods because I wanted to play it ~as intended~ . but after starting over for the 200th time, I wanted some quality of life mods to make some of the more monotonous stuff a little easier. the allow tool is basically all i installed for the longest time. but as a game that really shines if you want to roleplay or come up with wacky goals for yourself, mods are totally cool and good

oh yeah the prepare carefully mod is good too

ya same pretty much. I played a shitload of vanilla, probably 200+ hours mod free but the mods are good and make the game fit how you like to play it better

200 hours mod free sounds about right, i think that's the same for me

that said, rimatomics, rimefeller, and dubs bad hygiene have changed the game forever for me
