I have been away playing Binding of Isaac and Pokémon Y and they are super fantastic. I've beaten Blue Baby with Isaac, beaten Isaac with Isaac and Cain and Eve, and still need to beat Sheol and the Cathedral and the Chest with the rest. Still 80% of the way through the achievements, feels good. Pokémon I'm being real slow on, which is ridiculous, but hey! I will be set for a long, long time.
Oh wait, maybe my login is different from my Steam name? Well, I guess that means my Steam name has my personal information in it, so I'll send it to you via PM.
im kinda excited for bravely default, i really enjoyed the four heroes of light, and the battle system seems interesting
in other news i restarted pokemon x because the male character outfits and also hair were lousy
plus the event torchic w/ the blazikenite made the game waaaaaaay to easy like it just wiped the floor with everything
p much exactly like this
ALSO does anybody have any Shin Megami Tensei IV tips? I seem to be dying a lot, and i think that this is because there is something I don't get when it comes to negotiating with demons...
Apparently Ben Kuchera is a video game news editor who use to work at PAR and Ars Technica and now works at Polygon.
But I don't understand the meaning of that image either, unless it's just about the irony of a video game journalist blocking someone who claims that all video game journalists are too immature to ever be proper critics.
So I've now discovered at least three games (Risk of Rain, Nuclear Throne, and The Binding of Isaac, sometimes) that lag heavily for no apparent reason when they never used to. Afaik the only thing any of these have in common is that they all have roguelike elements which I doubt is affecting their technical performance.
Does anyone have any idea what's up? It's really annoying not being able to play like a third of the games I own.
I feel sorry for the miner guy in Dragonborn. His ancestor died because of a company conspiracy, he tries to tell everyone but is ignored, he's the laughingstock of Solstheim and on top of that he's married to a Dunmer. It took a complete stranger who just happened to be a legendary hero to save his dying dignity.
Still can't do anything about the Dunmer part though.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little s'wit? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Morag Tong, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on the Thalmor, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I'm trained in Argonian warfare and I'm the top Destruction mage in the entire Morag Tong. You are nothing to me but another target. I will will wipe you the fuck out with Marksman skill the likes of which has never before been seen on this Nirn, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me by courier? Think again fetcher. As we speak I'm contacting my secret network of spies across Tamriel and your Life is being Detected right now, so you better prepare for the storm, n'wah. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you seven hundred ways, and that's just with my Hand-to-Hand skill. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Buoyant Armigers, and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the Empire, you little s'wit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have stayed your quill. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you gods-damned idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, sera.

A few months ago, I was trying out some Steam skins. I ran across a skin that put a checkmark (a.k.a. a tick) on the "in-game" border, and put an hourglass symbol on one of the other statuses. Or maybe it put an hourglass symbol on the "in-game" border and later changed it to the check mark. Or something like that.
I was wondering, why put a check-mark next to the in-game border? I mean, those are people who are busy playing games! You can't chat with them when they're busy!
...then I realized that Steam's social features were primarily designed with multiplayer gaming in mind. The green color. The top-of-the-list placement. And the skin designer's idea of putting a checkmark next to them.
So, about Speechcraft in the Elder Scrolls. While it's usefulness as a pseudo-Barter skill is clear, it's usefulness in, well, speaking, isn't quite as clear. So, let's fix that!
Let's say that you got caught by a guard for a minor crime, like pickpocketing or shoplifting. Let's have three choices: run, plead guilty, or fight the charge! The third one takes you to court, where you use Speechcraft to convince the courts that you, in fact, are not guilty of the crime. And at higher levels, you can even counter-sue to get gold! It's perfect for a skill in the Thief category, right? R-right?
...how exactly did that last scene come to fruition? Was the room instantly filled with cheese, or was it done gradually just for the sake of that screenshot?
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
The PC version of Skyrim has a dialogue box where you can enter in command codes to alter the game world, like spawn any item in any state, resurrect or kill NPCs, monkey with the rules, and several others.
Since we reached our funding goal we have been trying hard to work out plans for extended development. We know where we want to take Rain World content-wise, we already have a vision of what kind of world this is. So rather than expanding it just for the sake of expanding it, we want to improve upon what we have and bring it to people on more platforms. (Linux has been the #1 subject of comments and emails by a large margin)
However, one obstacle in this path is that the development environment I've been using to create Rain World doesn't support many platforms, and I've had to work around a lot of quirks and limitations to even get this far. But, if we had the resources to hire someone for a more substantial amount of time, we could do something very significant: we could migrate Rain World into a more modern and versatile programming language.
Doing this would bring many benefits. We would get Linux support for sure, and other platforms would suddenly be within reach. By switching to a more advanced programming language we would remove any of the limitations of our current engine. We could increase the number of objects on the screen, increase performance and allow for larger and more dynamic levels, perhaps even (if I'm allowed to dream!) adding graphical polish such as water physics and dynamic lighting. Additionally, I'd be able to take the creature A.I. even further, and A.I. is pretty much my favorite thing!
So why not make that our goal? If we reach $50,000 we will enlist the aid of a skilled programmer to help us move the game over to a more modern development tool (we have our sights set on Unity), opening up for a Linux version of Rain World (with the possibility of other platforms in the future), plus improve both the performance of the engine and the richness of the game experience. Sound good?
Thank you all so much, again! We really look forward to this journey, and you can trust us to work hard to make Rain World everything it has the potential to be.
throw monies at this plzkthnks
(*10 dollars nets you a copy of the game once it comes out and also cool concept art and stuffs, so if this game looks like a thing you would like you totes should*)

I just had a rather clutch BOI victory.

On another note, if I can, then I’ll let YOU choose which characters
to pick or applications for soldiers (In the case of certain games)
* OpenXCOM
* MegaMek
* Jagged Alliance 2
* Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel
* Silent Storm
* Taking ANY suggestions for LPs!
presumably they just spawned a bunch of cheese in that spot
Goddamn region locking...
