williewillus

artemis which part in particular?
I still haven't finished any bsides (or chapter 9) lol. Meaning to get back to it eventually tm.

LeoBeliik

Skyrim, yes

artemis

williewillus beat the game several times, long ago (except goldens, we should get back to the last 8 sometime). lately we've been playing the strawberry jam collab (big mod), as well as some other small mods. we usually walk about what we play in the celeste thread in the gaming forum in the discord

williewillus honestly i hate to say it but i agree, p5r's pacing is just so unbearably slow sometimes. the worst part is that all the enjoyable arcs fly past you and all the stuff that is just unenjoyable goes on for so, so long. also the time between palaces feels super weird if you do what the game pushes you to do and marathon the whole thing in one calendar day so you can progress party confidants

regarding some of the other persona games, the fight a god that was actually masterminding everything out of nowhere thing is also very much an issue with persona 4's story. persona 3's story does this a lot better tbh, the final boss is actually foreshadowed and the game is very good at cultivating the sort of apocalyptic dread such a thing would realistically command

i have no idea about persona 1 or persona 2 innocent sin / eternal punishment lol. average persona fan

but ok as for the actual thread topic, i've been playing unturned of all things

the new curated (community-created but promoted by the official dev) map, buak, has been really good so far! the creator describes it as a mishmash of concepts from unturned 2.0, 3.0, and II, which is apt. my exploration has been relatively surface-level so far, but everything i've seen of the map's story (mainly a quick dip into the deadzone and the surprise cutscene in the middle of the first love questline) has been stunning. overall i think the map does an excellent job putting together concepts and features that past maps (particularly russia and elver) faltered on

also if you end up playing through the map yourself, check out the advanced difficulty settings for singleplayer - lots of good stuff there, it has a pretty solid inventory loss on death config that gives you a lot more granularity than something like minecraft's keepInventory gamerule. the SDG wiki has some more detailed info on that

I'm pogged to play Raincode, the new game from the Danganronpa team now. Once granblue guild war ends I'll def get on that

vazkii Raincode, the new game from the Danganronpa team now.

oh? Didn't know they're doing something new.
What kind of game is it?

vazkii

williewillus
I've purposely stayed mostly blind on it, but it looks like roughly the same style of game, maybe a bit more open ended?

adarsh

I reinstalled League of Legends the other day, the only gamemode I enjoy on there is ARAM as it's pretty relaxed compared to ranked.

Arcaea is what I play on the daily, slowly working through difficulty 8 and 9 songs in preparation for the Tempestissimo anomaly. The feeling of conquering a difficult song and looking back on the ones you once thought were impossible yet managed to complete is something special.

Might get back to Osu whenever Lazer comes out 😛

adarsh Might get back to Osu whenever Lazer comes out 😛

Is that ever happening? lol

vazkii

adarsh
lol, lmao

fish

rhythm doctor is good i think

williewillus

fish I still need to finish that

Also, I've been playing RainCode (the game vaz mentioned above) and it's.....not great lol. I'd probably give it a 5 or 5.5 out of 10. Play Danganronpa instead.
