Hello everybody. This week I've been back at it with Nightreign, getting my head caved in by Everdark Libra. Also been continuing my balatro journey on the side. Hope everyone is doing well

Partially automated economy gay space kerbalism

Luxury is beyond my skills unfortunately.

[–] toarmspunies@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Everyone relearning Kerbal skills just in time to prep for the Kitten Space Academy pre-alpha.

I love seeing kerbal posts

I've gotta play more. I want to build a comms network next but also I'm playing career mode so I think I'll need to make some money first

With Contract Configurator and Contract Pack: Constellations, you can get contracts to build your comm network.

[–] Aradino@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm playing the deeply inferior console version because I don't want to sit at my desk so pure vanilla baaabbbyy

Playing KSP unmodded and playing KSP on a controller both sound separately unbearable to me.

[–] Aradino@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The controls are fucking baffling. I strongly recommend looking up videos of people playing it for the first time trying to figure out how to do basically anything. Its hilarious

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Found one of Matt Lowne playing on ps4, and even with the little trackpad on that controller it looks ridiculous.

[–] Aradino@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

The trackpad is a good idea very badly implemented.

You can also just use the analog stick to move the cursor which is what I do. Its no less accurate but way easier.

Also if you accidentally press down on the touch pad it hides your UI for screenshots. Which is hilarious when you don't know why your ui is gone

Finally finished off Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart clocking in a delightfully low 17 hours for 100% completion. Whole thing is just pure nostalgic fun start to finish, well worth a play if you enjoyed the PS2 games.

Otherwise I've been grinding away at the Psyker and Zealot penances on Darktide. I definitely have the Psyker down, but I'm still getting dropped a lot as Zealot so I need to up my dodging game.

If you haven't played Tools of Destruction recently/ever I actually think that game has aged fairly well. I'm also kind of fond of Into the Nexus as a kind of Going Commando like game. I'd recommend emulating Nexus for a more stable framerate if possible with your hardware

Tales of Maj'Eyal. Someone here recommended it and it's taken over my life.

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Still playing Kerbal. My first Jool probe arrived in the SOI, and I set up an encounter with Vall to capture, hoping I have enough dV on it to swing over to Laythe afterwards.

Meanwhile I've fully mapped Moho, Eve, and Gilly and my Mun and Minmus stations have been generating science for about a year and a half. Next I'll toss a probe at Dres, then I'll be sending a crewed vehicle as well as mapping and relay probes on the next Duna transfer window.

Rocking out silly theme builds in Caves of Qud and then drawing some of them. I keep trying to make professor pikachu work, but he's just so squishy.

The game still has the weird tension of wanting to play like a roguelike with permadeath but also having a central storyline that takes time to complete. I've got a roleplay mode and a pretty survivable classic character that I got past Golgotha with if I want to keep going further into the game, but for whatever reason now I'm just enjoying rolling up new mutants and seeing how far I can get before I get sleepy or too cheeky trying to rob the chest behind half a dozen turrets.

Hollow Knight Silksong

spoilerwhen it releases later this week

[–] makotech222@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Felt like playing tropico for some reason, so playing tropico 5 with a bunch of mods. Fun way to waste a weekend.

I was playing totk on emulator. When electricity went out, my save files were corrupted. kitty-cri

[–] moonlake@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are you playing on PC? Is the performance good? I've been playing BOTW via the emulator and it runs like a dream, I'm curious to know what is the state of TOTK emulation

[–] sisatici@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Quite good. Currently on ryujinx, some say yuzu has higher performance but it has not gotten any updates for more than a year and it is less stable . I have 4070 with 9800x3d. Double resolution for 1440p and 16x anti isotropic (maybe I should lower it). It has some hitches here and there but still quite good.

What mods do you recommend for Mechwarrior 5 : mercs. I played the base game vanilla for a bit over 20h but while fun it got quite grindy in a way. (maybe a great podcast game ?)

Edit I played like 10h of it in Coop and its fun to blast mechs together.

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

the big ones in my list are:

but tbh i started with this list and adjusted it slightly to my taste

[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Thank you very much . I have heard of Yet another mechlab. Gonna give this a try. The base game is fun but it gets bland after a while. Hope to spice things up with mods.

[–] cbd@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Been playing We Love Katamari. The first Katamari Damacy was sick and probably one of my favorite games ever, this one pops a bit more visually and seems like it's on par with the first thus far. The story is something I'll need to see develop though before I judge it; the first was really inspirational in an adorable way.

[–] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Umamusume and Death Stranding 2

Kojima the GOAT. I'm currently in chapter 13 and shit is so great

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Finished Dishonored 1's DLCs, onto Pizza Tower peppino-suave

[–] poofkaboom@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

I completed Deathloop. It was fun but a little repetitive and I felt confused about what to do next quite a few times.

Overall, a good game.

[–] mayakovsky@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

The dice a million demo. It's pretty good, but very feast or famine

Getting my ass kicked in Mario Kart World.
