Would you have liked Chapter 2 more if instead of Susie having a complete 180, she had a resentment towards Berdly for his obvious dickishness(that wouldn't be softened up like it was in canon) that eventually boiled over into a physical confrontation, but she had built up a real friendship with Noelle far earlier in the chapter and because of that let him go? I think there was a lot there in the "holds back her violent urges for the sake of her friends" theme that was demonstrated in Chapter 1, and it would have led better into that hypothetical Catti encounter I so strongly believe is inevitable.

>Susie kaiju

Would it be somewhat like the Mario and Luigi: Dream Team battles in execution(Kris having to collaborate with her attacks) or just a repeat of the Punch-Out formula from Chapter 2?

Easily one of my favorite parts of Papyrus is his tacit acceptance of whatever his brother has going on, without even attempting to understand it anymore.

>AH YES, MY BROTHER.
>TENDS TO TELEPORT AROUND WITHOUT WARNING,
>HAS MASTERED SLACKING OFF SO EXPERTLY THAT HE SLACKS OFF ON THE JOB BY GETTING ANOTHER JOB,
>AND HAS PLANNED ELABORATE JOKES THAT TRANSCEND THE FABRIC OF SPACE AND TIME BASED ON A PLAN HE REFUSES TO TELL ME ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING ABOUT.
>WHAT OF HIM?

Toby knows Papyrus is one of his best characters and that's why he's been putting so much mystery around him

you are filled with.. DETERMINATION

>>17
I don't know if it was an intentional reference or not but for some reason Trunks "I'm filled with determination!" as a transformation line in Sparking Zero.

At the current point in the story, Susie doesn't do much more than act as Kris' dog. They point, she reacts. Someone disrespects them, she attacks. She's a minor player in most of the scenes we see her in during the Hometown segment.
Alphys really thinks that some human dick/minge is all it took to pacify Susie and that's hilarious to me

This is either a hot take or a very cold one, but I don't care for Deltarune for the story, mostly because it doesn't exist?
In comparison to Undertale where there was an overarching plotline surrounding your journey and actions, Deltarune's feels shallow and inconsequential, and its mostly just a collection of gags and short-term "encounters" that you experience once and instantly stops being of relevance, yeah there are the more complex side stories (like Spamton), but those don't matter either on account of being too small to be relevant.
Yes I know about snowgrave, thats pretty much a reboot of the genocide route that mostly threw subtlety out the window because no one got the original's message (the atrocities committed by the protagonist, is ultimately the fault of the player) and blamed everything on chara.
Deltarune's plotline feels like a simple game of DnD that no one takes too seriously (rather than a fleshed out plotline), and considering thats the surrounding theme I wouldn't be surprised if the shitty twist™© is that Deltarune is literally Kris and his friends sitting down playing a tabletop game.
Anyway sorry for the rant, I can't wait for the wave of unironic edge that will come with chapter 3's evil route.

Damn, Kris, where the hell are we?

Kris: A textboard.

>>20
Yeah, I can see that interpretation, but I also think it's a tad too reductive. We've already had a decent amount of suspense set up in this first two chapters(Kris' struggle to regain autonomy, Ralsei's ulterior motives, Noelle's thematic association with the angel and Roaring) and we haven't even begun to explore the second in that list.
I unironically think Jockington is the key to finding out whatever Ralsei's deal is; his lack of self-worth is single-minded and(to our knowledge) sincere whereas Ralsei's is at the very least incomplete. Seeing someone, especially a Lightner who fully accepts the role a Darkner "should" be in would scare the shit out of him, and get him to drop that mask for a split second.
If Toby never approaches that THEN I'm willing to call him a hack but it's just too soon.

Kirby is an embodiment of gluttony so why doesn't he eat humans? I feel that would be natural character progression for him. And not just humans or villains, but children too. I could imagine Kirby as a monsterous kaiju eating up vast parts of Akiba, from maid cafes and p0rn shops to average bypassers. Eventually the SDF is called to deal with him and he begins munching down on their tanks. He swells to such a size he finally swallows Sadoshima and suffers painful indigestion. Eventually, his body becomes so huge it cracks at the surface leading to plate tectonics and volcanoes erupting pink goo. A thread inspires a spin off game where the players take control of an elite team tasked with defusing a massive Kirby volcano. Think of it like Tron but dumber.

>>2
For record, I have never played a Kirby game but I would like to if OP can recommend me a title I can easily emulate and will be a lot of fun.

Kirby's Adventure on the NES is good, though my awareness of games in general is probably a bit NES-biased.

It's also on the easier side compared to what you might expect of an NES game, for better or for worse (although the "NES Hard" meme is a bit overexaggerated to begin with).

>>3

to be fair, he does eat people constantly, just not human people. what a scary thought though, just eating more and more of japan alive. imagine kirby eventually getting to his limit and exploding and a half-digested mixture of concrete, steel and flesh spilling out all over japan

if you can emulate wii, kirby's return to dreamland is really good, and so is kirby super star on the snes. i've heard good things about the 3ds games, but never have gotten the opportunity to play them, either on the original console or with an emulator.

>>5 as someone who's played both 3DS games, they're both good. Triple Deluxe is just more building off of RtD with the added bonus of a King Dedede mode, but Planet Robobot is the one where it really feels like HAL went all out; awesome pause screen lore, plenty of callbacks, a new Meta Knightmare mode AND Kirby has a fucking guren lagann mech that's so fucking cool

>>4
I have to thank you for recommending me this. I had some time to kill and spent an hour playing Kirby’s Adventure and it was fun.

I will never know as much joy in this fake and gay world ever again as I did playing that pink faggot's games

What special ability would kirby get if they swallowed you?
For me, it would be crippling depression

>>10
The one where he falls asleep for a while (which was a real thing in the games if I'm remembering right)

>>10
Paranoia, anxiety, and laziness.

I was just thinking about a little game phenomenon I realised I haven't seen for a long time. In old games that let you adjust the screen position, I would often see a screen that says LOADING... and then the screen would shift a few pixels when it loaded my screen adjustment setting 👆👉

been playing alot of higurashi lately. good story, in the middle of chapter 3 at the moment. cant wait to see how the story unfolds in the Answer arcs

>>231 glad you are enjoying it - it's one of my favs. wish I could read it for the first time again

I bought 6 games for less than £20 yesterday!

• In the PSN sale I got Worms (PS1 Emulation) (it was free!) and Worms World Party (£2 or something). I had them both on PS1 but it was fun revisiting them. These emulated version let you rewind time so I was owning the computer with perfect shots :P
• I also got Kandagawa Jet Girls, I watched the anime a while ago. So far it is quite fun, and the menus are nice.
• In CEX I found This Is Football 2003 and Super Bust-A-Move 2 for PS2. Not played them yet. You can find quite interesting stuff sometimes at CEX, but every one I've ever been in has been staffed by the most awkward nerds in the world, I don't know why it's always such a painful experience.
• I got Soul Calibur VI in Cash Converters for £7. I was waiting at the counter for maybe 6 seconds, the girl was tidying stuff away, when her supervisor was like hey! Serve this guy! And she was all apologetic but I really didn't care, she was clearly busy and I'd only just got there. She was looking at it while ringing it up and said hmmm looks pretty cool, looks like Tekken or something! And I said yeah a guy at my work was talking about it the other day, and then it was here, it must be fate or something :) and she was like huhh yeah that seems to be happening a lot recently! Very strange! And she had such a pretty smile, it's burnt into my mind, maybe I'll go back and buy something else!

I spent $10 yesterday for a used copy of Resident Evil Directors Cut edition for the PS1. I found it in a thrift store. Practically a steal. The disk and box aren’t in great condition but it runs fine so far.

>>234 ah how I love that basement music.

>>235
How did they manage to fuck that up? Also they promised an uncensored intro but didn't deliver because of a production error?! Begs the question, of all versions of Resident Evil, which was the best release? My bet's on the DS version because it made the knife usable and added some extra enemies.

>>236
The soundtrack of the director's cut sucked cause the composer was just bad at his job, he also pretended to be deaf to avoid any criticism.
Also
The best version of resident evil is the gamecube remake, the steam remaster would have been the best if they didn't lose the original renders of the backgrounds they had to use the compressed gamecube ones.

I fucking love Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3.

been playing atlyss recently
finally able to play as big booty fur creature (chubby)
(・∀・)

>>22 I've been looking to buy a copy for my girlfriend, it was her favourite game but she lost it

>>22
Yes! Multiple times, and I've 100%ed it too. It's a very special game to me, even if I can't in good conscience recommend it to others given how godawful the combat and gameplay is.

>>23
Good luck with that! Physical copies are extremely hard to get your hands on, but my ex managed to pull it off so you might too.

This might be the most obscure videogame possible (up until this article was written and the guy uploaded a ROM, anyway)

space station 13

Here are some weird obscure games for a obscure British PC called the Acorn Archimedes;

Big Bang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ6Ygd7q1KI
Revolver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTMW9HF2Ybs
Hamsters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlXJIECTJYE

They are all pretty fucking weird in their own rights.

I watched a playthrough of Iru! for the PS1 and it's kinda neat.
Lovecraft inspired walking sim with Twilight Syndrome vibes.
The reverence it has for Lovecraft's works makes it almost "canonical" in the sense that it's not 'loosely inspired' by the works like so many modern media, but takes efforts to be extremely accurate to the source material to a level I've not often seen, despite being set in a totally atypical location (Japanese school).

A while back I found a pretty obscure early 00's era Chinese game called Tien, which is a third-person 3D hacky-slashy type game I would loosely summarize as "a bit like Rune but Wuxia instead of Nordic". Seems to be built on the Lithtech engine. There's a version (no idea if official or a fan thing) where interface text is English at least. A real hidden gem.

>>28
I'm glad you realize "lovecraft inspired" is as meaningless as "earthbound inspired" in terms of video games

>>31
for sure, basically what I mean is "lovecraft inspired, no for real this time, like every character is fucking quoting paragraphs of Lovecraft's shit given any possible opportunity"

Linux is useless for gaming you need openbsd

>Does anyone here game in Linux at all?

I do use my Linux machine from time to time to play games.

>If so, what games do you run, native or emulated (Wine/Crossover)

Mostly visual novels. Some of them I have bought from Steam and run them with Proton-GE, which is an improved version of Proton, that fixes a lot of stuff from upstream Proton. Planetarian, Rewrite, Clannad and Muv-Luv run perfectly fine with just that. Higuarashi and Narcissu 1&2 work also and do so natively. Other VNs such as Air, Tsukihime and Steins;Gate work with Wine. Renpy visual novels work flawlessly, but I haven't played them much. There is also on the Pirate Bay and Nyaa.si some guy, who created a series of torrents containing Flatpak installation files, which make installing those packaged VNs very easy. It's called "Flatpak-Novels".

>where do you foresee the future of gaming on Linux?

I think as time goes on, it will become more and more feasible and probably will be superior to Windows one day. I think in the foreseeable future Wine will be to Windows, what Dosbox is to MS-DOS - in the sense, that it will become a more practical and generally speaking better experience than on the original system, except for a few special use cases or nostalgia. Furthermore, I think Linux is already a very usable OS for gaming, but I think this will only improve over time.

So many retards wholeheartedly embracing Steam on Linux like it's a good thing, what a time to be alive.

>>27
Valve is the reason that AMD drivers don't suck dick anymore.

>>28
Too bad their GPUs still do.

>"Linux is useless for gaming"
>recommends fucking OpenBSD

>>1 I get all my games from either Steam or itch. I always try to get a native Linux version, but the Windows games I play tend to work fine on wine or proton in 2024. Then again, I mostly play older games like Half-Life or Sonic Adventure, or indie pixelart games like A Space For The Unbound, Celeste or that schizophrenic milk girl VN. I'm not sure if fancy newer games work all that well.

>takes a blatantly obvious troll post a little too seriously

been getting back into factorio, after dropping it for a while post my first full run. lot more fun now that i know how to properly optimize and not strangle myself with spaghetti.

starting out a new save is still a bitch tho, maybe i need to gitgud but shit takes to long to get rly movin

>>9
same, I was like "you need how many resources now???" at some point, and ragequit. But eventually I came back and killed 2 months on it.

Spaghetti factories are where the fun is at. If you know what you are doing, why are you still playing this game, you've beaten it.

I remember once starting a warcraft 3 match with 2 bots, I and one other bot vs other bot. I helped to my ally to kill the enemy, killed this ally too, and mined all gold and trees on the map. If you're a faggot like me, who sucks at making quick decisions and just wants to see workers work, this game is for you.

>>10 i should add when i say "know what im doing" i moreso mean i know better how the game works. its still a lot of fun just to do things better than before, and to figure out things i had struggled with previously. plus theres always mods

I'd rather continue the old map rather than starting the new one, sounds more fun. I want to clean up my existing factory, figure out all the best blueprints, get as much as it fits in my backpack, stop production completely, destroy my old factory and reopen the factory in a different location. I wonder what I would need. Maybe I can just console command my dream backpack and all technologies at the start of the game

if you want everything from the get go to just design then you can always use a creative mod

personally i like slowly building up everything i need, but only after that VERY beginning bit where all you have is burner mining drills and coal power.

Ever since getting my steam deck I've been unable to summon the motivation to turn on my desktop pc and as such I've been suffering from reduced Zachtronics and Heroes 3

>>7
The fun in Mindustry is more about getting around terrain choke points but balancing throughput via routers, overflow gates and so on is also still a major part.
Sadly, some time ago the author has added automatic incineration of overflow in the core which can't be turned off in the campaign. So all of those skills you've developed are pointless now. And there is no new difficulty from this change because you just put an underflow gate (new thing) where overflow gates where before.
Another bad and also somewhat recent change is having persistent bases with limited enemy waves. You just have to hold out no matter what now until the last wave is beaten, then you can scrap your entire operation and rebuild it in complete peace even if it takes you 10, 20, 100 hours. All other sectors are "on pause".
There are other changes that someone like me who has started playing in 2019 will likely call bad but those are the most important.

Make sure you get a version without the pee system
