The Still New What Did You Last Do Thread

Reminds me I should have bought a scanner.

Or one of those pen/tablet things.

Looks good though. Always liked the Castlevania series. Thanks for sharing that

I paid quite a bit for a gently-used Cintiq. I love it. Regular pen surfaces are cheap but the screen is worth it. (I can manage a mouse just fine but drawing without seeing the "ink" go on the "paper" is a no-go for me.)


Something I've been thinking about lately: RPGs place a lot of importance on a specific mythical creature: Dragons.

A big deal in JRPGs. Dragon Quest, Breath of Fire, even Golden Sun uses them for big bads. Many games (even western ones) elevate them to deity level. (The Elder Scrolls*, a Might and Magic setting...) And anything with dragon in the title, really. One of those interesting cross-cultural things I suppose.

I wonder how many (serious) fantasy games give this same treatment to a different (recognizable) creature? (Cthulu et al don't count.) Such as a world that worships goats unicorns.**


* Even before Skyrim, Akatosh has been the dragon god.
** There was Legend, but that was a film and not a game (that I know of). If there was, it was probably a horrid NES title.

When you get your 4.3GHz 6-core processor to idle almost in the 60s F (20 C).

Oh man. I wish it's winter again so my computer wouldn't get overheating and such.

Anyway 20 C? That is just crazily cold man! :O

Yeah, I love this coolant loop. It does heat up almost instantly under full load, though (like compiling 4K video in Premiere.) Never to any dangerous levels, fortunately.

And I wish it was winter, too. Haha. Not a fan of the heat (unless I'm at the beach.)

Got my free bag in the mail for joining the NRA. I can always use more bags to put stuff in.

I FINALLY HAVE A COMPUTER AGAIN!


I CAN WORK ON DOOM AGAIN

I AM SO HAPPY

[Blue Shadow]

Got pissed at myself for getting my own ass kicked from discord again and kind of annoyed with SLADE at the moment so I started mapping.

(How do I resize this thing?)

Monsterpathing does not work well with portals apparently.

Also, rules say that all portals to 2 rooms must be of equal distance, but said nothing about using intermediary rooms.

[NeuralStunner]

I found out that this exists. As someone who's played through God Hand about three times, I wonder if I should give this a try?

(The problem with reviews on rereleases: You will quickly learn whether or not it's a faithful port, but basically nothing about the game(s) being ported...)

[DoomKrakken]

I joined the Knights Of Columbus.

Really wishing I didn't have a work meeting this afternoon. I'd have loved to take half the day off to start up Battletech. All I can do now is read reviews and watch as the community goes feral.

This forum is a bastion of peace from the majority of fanbases, I have to say. It's always so refreshing to come back.

Anyone participate in Ludum Dare? The theme was "mix 2 genres that are incompatible"

I had one day of enthusiasm setting up a simple scene, intending to make a mix of RTS and shmup, then lacked the motivation to keep going
lol

The play & rate period is on for the next ~20 days

"mix 2 genres that are incompatible"

Roguelike + rhythm game! Oh wait.

I think it's hard to call most combinations strictly incompatible. Even two seemingly contradictory genres, such as real-time strategy and turn-based strategy, can be mixed well.

The only thing I can think of that would actually not work is just about anything + casual clicker. I also thought of "6DOF shooter + golf" which actually sounds freakin' amazing.
