Another day, another S-Rank in Streets of Rage 4! This one was a lot fairer than Old Pier or Chinatown where you 100% need at least 2 OOTW combos to clear it, was able to get by with a little sloppiness toward the middle.

GMT Games is just straight up giving away free board games


How to claim:
1.) Send an email to: a_curtis at sbcglobal dot net
2.) Include “proof or explanation of your job loss" since March 15.
3.) Select which instock games you would like
- 2 games if you're in the US
- 1 game if you're international
- Imperial Struggle is the only excluded game!
4.) They will ship you free goddamn games. :slick:
5.) Don't be a fuckwit and claim a game if you still have a job

Honestly this is super super generous of them. I'd crack onto Twilight Struggle if you've ever wanted it, because that shits sure to go fast. Make sure to grab something for the strategy/wargame nerd in your life (Especially if that nerd is you)

it doesn't really seem that different from sticker star/color splash except for the shift away from 'stages'. and stages weren't the issue with those games

alphadream dying means that mario as a jrpg is basically a dead concept and i have to just accept it :|

this is a puzzle game with a lot of story, which is fine (i actually had an ok time with sticker star in that context, though it still wasn't great), but i think the series would improve if they stopped peeling at the bandaid and just ripped it off, and took battles out entirely

e: does anyone know if the encounters are random or not? because that's also a major factor. if all the battles are very specific and part of the story, it'd be better, but random encounters in what is essentially a puzzle game is nonsense. you're just doing hundreds of meaningless battles and on top of that, any new boots/hammers have weapon durability too. i don't understand how that would still be fun after the first 2-3 hours

I liked shooting poo poo with him between runs, it was nice to have a fellow fish out of water and his struggle with coming to grips with the situation he got very suddenly thrown in felt to me more organic and understandable than annoying. Plus all the loving description text of his hot bod was funny.

But yeah Gobbet, Racter and Gaichū were the main stars of the show overall, a lot of good moments and interaction with all of them.

I wanted to respond to the following quote and to anyone else who is always feeling a bit reluctant to post:

axelblaze posted:

I dunno...I'm thinking about it and I'm just still a bit reluctant to come back. It's not about the LoU2 and holding it sacred it's just the general feeling that any post I make can start a whole thing from someone I'm not sure is arguing something they believe or if they're just arguing because it's fun for them but either way. Like there are good posters in this thread that still just constantly stir poo poo and often with opinion I know they don't have and this year has been so so so so bad and I still haven't even been able to deal with the horriblenesss that was last year.

I'm sorry to dump that much on you thread out of no where. I mean I guess I never said why I left for a bit so that's been welling up for a bit, I just find it so frustrating sometimes and I'm not sure if I'm mentally in the place to handle it. It's not you, it's me. Really.

Please post about things you like. Games in the old days got a reputation for being down on anything and hating things no matter what. Modding this I have done my best to try to help lift up the more positive aspects of gaming. I do not want that old reputation to be how people see this whole place. We can criticise with humour or insight and we can praise with humour or insight and this is the coda I have aligned myself with since starting.

I like jokes and thoughts and feelings both positive and negative about games. I like games. I talk about the games I enjoy, which I know were looked down on the forum in the past, because I want other posters to feel good talking about games they like. Goons often form similar ideas but that does not mean that it is 100% the way to be.

If you enjoy a game, you are correct. That sense of enjoyment is real and yours and cannot be taken away by someone not liking the same game. I like borderlands 1, 2, pre sequel and Tales. (Will be starting 3 at some point when I have finished about 560056 trillion other games on my list). I will glady say that I enjoyed the story in all of them and that I had a ton of fun. I think Tales is the best, followed by Pre-sequel, then 1, then 2. I also love Destiny 2.

I love games and I love to talk about games in games. I honestly want everyone to do so and if someone comes across as really nasty or vicious to somebody for enjoying something then I would hope I either a) see it b) see a report about it or c) receive a pm about it because as the coda says: criticise with humour or insight. This applies to the game, not the poster.

And also, someone criticising a game is not a criticism of you as a poster. We are all different people with different life experiences with a common hobby. That we can chill out and chat about such a wide range of topics with relatively few blowups is a testament to the nature of this community.

And finally. There is a TLOU2 thread (the non spoiler one) started by poster BeanpolePeckerwood that is really positive and discussy about the game. It can be found here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3927582 and hopefully it will also serve as a good place to talk :)

I am halfway through episode 2 of Dusk.

It is a pretty fun throwback. I feel like there are some other games I have installed somewhere that I am supposed to play but I have spent the last few weeks working on a project at work that has taken up a lot of my relaxing time. Plus I am working my way through Babylon 5 for the first time as well as writing little recaps in a blind watch thread and that also takes up time :D But a great use of time!

I'd honestly just straight up buy SOR4 after how much you've been hyping it in thread, but a bunch of Kickstarter board game pledge managers hit all at once and wiped out my slush fund :negative:

One of the pledge managers let me pickup some Iron Clays as an addon, so I'm very :3: about that though.

i was originally going to pause the humble month (and did) but now that i have 4bux in my paypal i am thinking i will just get it so that i can have supraland and overload for 8bux, even if i have no interest in anything else (also the ikenfell demo i am interested in)

i know supraland is gonna be on game pass and probably even this month because the DLC launches soon, but i have a bad habit of forgetting games are on game pass and then they expire before i get a chance to play them

My condolences to both of you. I can't do anything to change what has happened or what is happening but I want you to know that no matter how bad today becomes, I'm hoping that your day can get at least a little better. I have dumb luck, the kind of luck that helps me through the hardest of times by giving me something hopeful to cling to. I'm not normally a superstitious man but I feel that my dumb luck has rubbed off on others when they need it. It manifests not usually in what you need or want, but it will make itself known. I believe in both of you, and anybody else who this applies to, and I have no doubt in my mind that you'll be through this soon enough. If life was a stack of needles and you needed to find a piece of hay, I can't help you find the hay but I know that you'll find it at your own pace, in your own way, in hopefully as healthy a way as you can, and it is my hope that maybe my dumb luck will rub off a little on you so that you won't have to spend as much time and effort searching for that wheat.

Get well soon the both of you, if there is anything I myself or the rest of the chat thread posters can do for you, please let us know.

I was gonna post some wizard101 stuff but I feel like that would be inappropriate in the same post as this. Expect some wizgame posting later about the 2nd world in the game, Krokotopia, aka Egypt Land.

I am having the weirdest problem with spotify. On my phone, on my TV and on my PS4 it works absolutely fine.
On my gaming pc the web player in the browser works fine.

The program, however, does not. If I click play it just blitzes through the whole playlist and refuses to play a thing. Just next, next, next over and over.

I have reinstalled the program twice, even used the windows store version twice.

Sometimes it gets weird when you plug headphone in or unplug headphone or switch audio outputs, so I would set your audio output in Windows to whatever the default is and start Spotify again and go from there.
