Code vein is more popular on steam than dark souls ever was, apparantely. Like, I knew the game was going to kick off because it's mixing the steam-super-favorite dark souls with the anime aesthetic/bandai character creator everyone likes, but I didn't expect this much hype.

Aeon's end is a pretty cool board game/card game. Basically, the game's theme is that you control 1-4 mages(or your friends can control some) to lower the enemy nemesis's HP down to 0 before either all your mages or Gravehold, your home, is destroyed. The game's mechanics are pretty unique in that you don't shuffle the deck ever, after you play all cards in your deck, the discard pile is flipped over and becomes the new deck, it's not random. Also, you use the mana you get from playing mana-granting cards to add cards from supply piles(which you set at the start of the game) to your discard pile, which can be new gems which give more mana than starting cards, relics which do stuff, and spells which are cast for free at the cost of occupying a breach slot for a turn(which can be opened for mana). It's pretty unique, I like it and so far I beat 2/4 of the bosses, carapace queen and rageborne.

What's a good/funny/clever name for a shop stall I'm setting up in a game? I was thinking of calling mine "Non-GMO Organic Fair Trade vendor trash"

I really hate modern day grinding roguelikes where the game is not beatable unless you're the sort of guy who can beat dark souls slvl1 hitless without grinding a ton of stats or just extremely superhuman, makes it feel like you're just grinding lower floors so you have a chance at the higher floors forever instead of being about the procedurally generated items and how you use them/gitting gud. Been feeling this a lot between moonlighter, mothergunship, dead cells, immortal redneck, heroes of hammerwatch, and now children of morta and undermine, makes them feel like live services
Also they often have really boring items to find inside the actual game or really trivial stuff that doesn't change your run to run performance, or in mothergunship you just don't even use what you find and just bring a broken combo and stick with it the whole run(at least when it's not disallowed).

Man, outer wilds has one hell of a story all around. It's sorta halfway between a walking simulator and a space game since there isn't any combat or anything but still, I'll just describe/say the overall experience of the whole entire game in the comments, spoilers and such but I mean, the game isn't as deep as it looks, the story is just interesting honestly.
-
SpoilerBasically, you are a new astronaut from timber hearth's outer wilds exploration division who just graduated and got the launch codes for his new ship and is tasked with finding out about the old civilization called the Nomai. On your way out, though, you get zapped by some statue from the ancient civilization that nobody's ever seen zap anyone so far, very unusual. After this you find out one unusual thing: You can't die. Every time you die, you get time warped to just a second after you graduate and have the launch codes. So you explore the world to find out why this keeps happening. Also, every 20 minutes each timeloop the sun explodes, and according to the scientists, it's not due to explode for millenia, so you explore to find out what's happening.
As you explore, you find more and more stuff about the Nomai's technology.
The Nomai came here because they heard a signal from something called the "eye of the universe", which supposedly predates all universes they know, and because their home solar system had a supernova. They started setting up to explore the solar system and find out the best way to find the eye of the universe.
They find a discovery in that black holes teleport to corresponding white holes, but also that all their timers and estimates show that things that go into a black hole end up coming out of a white hole BEFORE they entered the black hole, as if it went back in time for a second, then the one further in time got erased. The more energy used, the further in time things can go. Using this, they devise a big plan to study things and find the eye of the universe quickly.They create a probe launching platform to try to find the eye of the universe, but there's no way to get enough power to launch it fast, unless... they were to create a supernova and transfer it back in time along with themselves, so they don't get fried in the nova. There's also only enough supernova insulation for the probe launch platform, so they can't use black holes to go back. So that's what they do, they create memory statues to send their memories back in time and one last thing... the sun station which fires nukes to cause the supernova. So after you get this revelation, you have a final goal, to stop the sun station, break the memory statues, and end the timelooping.
Except... and here's the kicker:
The sun station doesn't work. The Nomai abandoned the project at the last step, after setting up the statues, probe launcher, everything, the sun station didn't have the firepower to cause the sun to explode. and all this was set up hundreds of thousands of years ago and this series of events just automatically went into play because of a natural supernova, not planned for this time, and the supernova in the Nomai star system was not a recent unnatural occurence happening across the world, it's just delay because the Nomai travelled much faster than light. The Nomai all left to explore a comet at the edge of the star system instead of continuing the sun station and all died in a brutal accident in the comet. The sun is exploding because the sun just reached its natural conclusion. So the only thing left to do is to turn off the timeloop, gather all the earth citizens to the eye of the universe, use its power to create a new universe, and set up one last camp for a day before the supernova wipes the world out, in a "life goes on" melancholy ending. Thousands of years later, it's shown there's a new species of spacefarers ready to explore the world.

I only just found out, but alec holowka, creator of night in the woods and co founder of its studio, commited suicide after being shut out of the game industry and kicked out of his own studio by zoe quinn's unproven rape allegations. That is unbelievably horrible.

Oh, I agree that they haven't proven that he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. There are also enough people capable of corroborating Holowka's history of abuse, so I'm willing to consider that, if old friends, co-workers, exes, and even his own sister are all stating that he abused people, then I'm going to believe them.

Alec Holowca, Co-founder of the company which created Night in the Woods, is out as a result of rape accusations made by Zoe Quinn on twitter recently. Also, a project the studio was working on is cancelled. Very sad.

Kronya from fire emblem looks like she was ripped directly from a hentai doujin or monster girl quest or something:

Me and nour are going to an anime convention tomorrow, again(friday). Same organizers as the last time, should be fun since I'm less nervous/know what to expect.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D-yz_zgU8AAhM-e?format=png&name=small
It was my birthday 2 days ago (6 aug), renovations ended and me and nour got actual good usable computers, really good computers actually, for me I went from barely running risk of rain 2 at minimum settings to running it 120 fps np at max, sekiro from ~10 fps min settings to 60 max, nioh works perfect at max, etc. Nour's is a really big deal though, since she couldn't run 90% of 3D games in the last like 5 years, even things like fate extella on min settings or dark souls 1 wouldn't work at all, not even at 1 fps, she has years of catchup to do.
Anyone got any recs? I have a big pile of vidya that I have already but more is better.

when did BOTW support become an organized cult? Everywhere it gets #1 best game of all time, there's articles about it every week, and now there's this: https://www.gamerevolution.com/news/576549-zelda-clone-genshin-impact-havoc-sony-chinajoy

Our apartment has been undergoing a looooot of fixing in the last month because of decayed/rusted/corroded/idk beams and cement in the ceilings and for like a month all the chairs and clothes and everything were piled like mountains in like two rooms. Just two days till we're done, though.

Sad Panda is shutting down in 12 hoursish because of a new law in Netherlands and the anime/manga enthusiast section of the internet is completely on fire to try to save as much of it as possible, to the tune of petabytes of content
-
For those who don't know, sadpanda is a hosting site for doujins and h-manga, the biggest one on the internet. It's where all other similar sites scrape their content. It has a lot of artbooks, non-h, and other content too. Also because a lot of artists are discovered because they drew doujins, or that some of them were huge inspirations like how katawa shoujo was inspired by a doujin raita(valkyria chronicles artist now) made, some artists sold doujins of their own work to fund the anime (goddanar season two) and just artistic preservation it's a big deal even if you don't like it

Bernie Sanders has a twitch account and is set to livestream now... memes abound.

Reventure has one of the most assholish, garbage moves in a game I've ever seen.
Basically, you go to rescue the princess, and find her, in a jail cell, seemingly wounded and unable to move, so you open the door to her cell, go in next to her... and get an extremely loud and visceral jumpscare because that was a Mimic. But the real garbo move is that you find out later, maybe by trial and error, that you HAVE to press the switch that opens the jail cell for the mimic and then wait 20 seconds for an extra platform to spawn opposite to the cell which allows you to reach the "true princess". Also, of course, there's an ending/special cutscene for killing the true princess because you thought it was another mimic. Also, the mimic escapes, and shows up later on your escape route if you do this. Like, seriously, I feel like that's a bigger deterrent than any other exploration deterrent I've seen in a game, the designer of the evil lair really knocked it out of the park.

It's a funny game. I accidentally got an ending where you tripped on a rock and died. You were supposed to just walk into it on your way out the door, but after getting the sword, I climbed over the house, jumped off, landed right on the rock, and tripped. I couldn't help but laugh.
I like how that's the second ending, too, cause it's directly in your path out the door, but the first ending is well out of your way in the opposite direction.

I feel highly uncomfortable about how many chinese-made games on steam are about simulating a terrible, extremely strict parents household. Just saw another one called homework is crazy, and just a few months ago "chinese parents" was the top seller on steam for a long period, it's disturbing.

So there's 3 auto chess games announced/releasing this week, one is league of legends' auto chess, teamfight tactics, one is Valve's official auto chess game, Dota underlords, available to dota battle pass owners until it's out of beta, and the original creator of auto chess(drodo)'s has announced that his version of auto chess (which is already out on mobile) will be available through only the epic store on PC.
I had a feeling this genre was going to take off since it was top 5 twitch views basically since release but I didn't expect it to be the next HS/MOBA/BR.

Cadence of Hyrule is the best idea, it's basically a legend of zelda game with crypt of the necrodancer's gameplay style, you move to the beat and enemies move when you do. Dungeons are procedurally generated, but the overworld is semi-procedurally generated, and it's a real big game instead of going from floor to floor like necrodancer.
Also the sprites are really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKDORspwSgY

I forgot to mention it, but me and nour came back from vacation a few days ago, we were on a week vacation to the beach, and it was pretty cool. Didn't go the beach a lot, but the weather wasn't a dry, hot desert like where we live so it was nice, and the resort we were in had nice chairs and desks for me to sit down and play vidya so that was fun. (I'm boring, I know).
Also I played a bunch of games that I liked and a bunch of games that I didn't like at all and I'll be saying what I think of sekiro and the others.

I played forager, and it's short, but I liked it for what it was, it's a comfy game and a mix of zelda, stardew, and terraria, and it's full of ways to progress and new skills that unlock whole new buildings, and etc, I was anticipating what would happen next for every minute of playing the game, I was never not excited for what's going to happen next.

PSO2 coming to the west was the most surprising and unexpected thing so far.
