Unormal does more on each of his 100,000 projects in a day than I do on my combined 3 projects in a week. Someone punch me in the face.

hand of luke posted:Yep, for EA on Steam. Still in pencil, though, but we're hopeful. I feel that really nervous feeling, like we've gone out together a couple of times and really started to get to know each other. After a few drinks we're on my couch making out and I decide to go for it and rub your dick from over the top of your very fashionable jorts. I can tell you're really into it and you suggest we move to the bedroom. Things really start to heat up and in no time I'm bare rear end naked with my raging 2-incher ready to pop like a zit. You giggle and excuse yourself saying "Waaaaaaiiiiit, I have to go the bathroom." Now I'm sitting under the covers with a half-chub wondering if there will be awkward conversation when you finally come to back bed and if I'll be able to get it up again and if you really meant the weird stuff you said about "the blacks" that I let slide because you were cute.

I killed Tam with my second character. A bloody watervine farmer avenged him shortly thereafter, but I tell you what, I was king of Joppa there for about 100 turns. Roland the four armed turtle dude will rise again and conquer all. The laptop keymapping also suuuuuuuuucks.

Ah gently caress, jilted lover. So is it worth being a gunslinger? It was pretty loving cool till I ran out of ammo. There doesn't seem to be an easy way for me to always have that poo poo (and I generally resent ammo mechanics in the first place).

Well, I beat the Red Rocks and Argyve quest. Are the two quests in Joppa the only quests in the game so far?

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Argyve should send you to Grit Gate, a dungeon/town to the northeast -- he has multiple quests, so keep talking to him until he does. Grit Gate in turn will send you to Golgotha, and if you survive that they'll send you to Bethesda Susa. Additionally, there's a town vaguely east of Joppa called Kyakukya (or something like that) which has a horribly lethal quest to take out a psychic goatman shaman. My axe wielding true human barely made it through red rocks so I suppose I'll take him to die in one of these horrible places.

What's up with cell recharging? The tinker archetype starts with the ability, but it's not clear what skill gives it to him (or what it requires to use).

A chem cell has 10k capacity. poo poo I don't have any of those. Guess my teleporter and magical firehammer remain a doorstop and a normal hammer. Whenever I hit something with this it feels as if I were taking the remote control up to the cable box and using it to poke at the buttons like a fat-finger wand. Also tinker i didn't give it to me, so maybe you need disassemble too. Mr. Belding fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Jul 16, 2015 |

Unormal posted:It's surprisingly hard to strike the balance between buffering keystrokes and not being an rear end in a top hat with buffering. However I think zoning is a place I can probably safely ditch the buffer. Better to 'w'alk than hold the keys in general, though. Why buffer keystrokes in a roguelike at all? I don't think dungeonmans does and it's better for it. Also if you're going to include autoexplore you can't be loving clever about it. Oh autoexplore will stop if it sees a monster but not a plant that can attack you and kill you cause it's not really a monster, lol. Your generator can't pump out massive pile of poo poo maps with nothing but boredom in 90% them and the solution to them being boring is a button that has a decent chance of killing the player.

Fuligin posted:Welp, my praetorian ended up being my most successful character by far. I got all the way through Golgotha (which was hilarious), then figured I would check out that ruin all the way in the northwest. Turns out it's the Six Day Stilt, although it was completely deserted as far as I could tell. On my way back I ran into the lair of a "Legendary Salt Kraken" and figured that I could always Recoil out if poo poo got real. RIP Probinus I just got to Golgatha for the first time today. I slid down an electricity tube. It was not funny.

So I went ahead and started to read some Tales of the Dying Earth, because that seemed like a cool thing to do. Holy poo poo, this is some badly written, misogynistic, rapey, trite, wish-fulfillment. It's no wonder Gary Gygax liked it.

andrew smash posted:What? The zen master asked as he said as zipped a rar of his zip file. The laws of physics (as the materialist would have us believe them) state that information cannot be destroyed. What then if he reduced this file to 0 megabytes, then to 0 kilobytes, then to 0 bytes, then to 0 bits? What would the world make of this paradox? He knew not the purpose of his work, only that it was valuable, and that the paradox he wrought would create a new golden age.

My feelings about Caves of Qud are that I'm absolutely in love with the setting, the writing, and the entire basis of the game. The day it launched on Early Access happened to coincide with a day off work (I work weird hours), and I immediately bought it and played it for probably 8 hours straight. It absolutely captures my imagination, and I'm thrilled that this thing exists and at this point exists in a reasonably commercially successful space (for a roguelike). I've told my friends about it and told them that I love it and think that should play it... with some caveats. And those caveats are loving HUGE! Dungeonmans has the silly shopping mini game that I think of as bad game design and explain to everyone how silly it is that one devs potionboner prevents his game from being better. Caves of Qud is basically a never ending list of such problems. From what I can actually tell, the gameplay was designed from a purely simulationist standpoint and any fun was entirely incidental. Fortunately that simulationist approach created a lot of fun but it is entirely not incidental, accidental, and poorly understood. You can have a lot of fun playing Caves of Qud, but you can also have a lot of fun watching a train wreck. It's a pretty good game, but it's horrifically unsatisfying that the best case scenario is you hit the end of the main quest chain and everything is over, and because the development team isn't full time I can't reasonably guarantee people to whom I recommend the game that it will ever be finished. I've spent money on way stupider things, but I don't know that I would out and out encourage it.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:The way I view it is, Kickstarter is for "if I get enough money, I will do this thing, and funders get some special benefit", while Patreon is "I am doing this thing, and funders can help ensure that it continues to be done." In particular, the Patreons I'm familiar with don't generally gate their "primary content" (blog posts or comics or whatever) behind being a patron; the content is available publicly. The patrons at most just get access to behind-the-scenes stuff like streams or chats with the creator. I guess I can see that. I'm not anyone who ever took the promises of artists or entrepreneurs seriously, so that difference is likely less palpable to me.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:Yeah, the main thing for me is that when I add someone on Patreon I explicitly do not expect to get anything for my money beyond a little feelgood, while if I back something on Kickstarter it's because I want a piece of whatever product they're making (and am willing to take the gamble that it may not pan out). Kickstarters are calculated risks and Patreons are tip jars. But the primary factor stopping you from treating them identically is nothing.

RPATDO_LAMD posted:On Kickstarter you're paying them for something that they haven't already made out of the misguided belief that they'll ever actually finish it or that it will be good. On Patreon you're paying them for something that they've already made and which you've already enjoyed, pretty much just because you think the creator is a cool dude. This could be true with a truckload of caveats. It's possible to give to Kickstarters run newcomers who have never made anything. It's possible to only give to Kickstarters run by people solid track records whose work you know you enjoy. It's obviously possible to do some of both. Obviously past success is no guarantee of future success, but you have that same issue with Patreon. I get that they are different, and have different uses. I'm probably just over sensitive to the strange distaste some people have for Kickstarter.
