Those look like the most unappetising food I've ever seen.

Ok. I can agree with that.

I got to 500 then said fuck it.

Overwatch - That time Blizzard made a non-Diablocraft game.

I played some Lucio today before I went to work. I get him now, and while my healing numbers weren't the same as Mercy, I was able to keep everyone topped up and pulled off a really clutch alt that helped us cap a point. The speed boost is sick though. -

I actually had an amazing Mercy game. We were on defence and I chilled with a Bastion, while the other members of the team would push, then retreat for healing. Worked out really well. I was also able to jump into the fray to heal, then use the Bastion as an anchor to fly to relative safety if it got too hot for me. I also tried Lucio, but his healing feels...weak. It's AoE, but I didn't feel like I was keeping anyone alive. Other than that, yeah, if people aren't receptive to having a healing, I should just play another class. D.Va and 76 are pretty good though. Still a bunch of heroes I've not tried yet, but it's always a little nerve wracking to try someone new. -

I've already found a few characters I gravitate towards - D.Va, Soldier 76, Tracer and Roadhog. I try to like Mercy, but man healing is boring. -

So I finally bought overwatch. I ruined my ankle so I had a day at home where I couldn't walk and decided to play it. I can see what all the fuss is about, its real good. One question though - how do you deal with being a healer? It's so...not fun, and all your team mates seem to ignore people shooting at you, and shoot at anything else. I've also noticed that it's rarely ever a close match. Generally one team destroys the other completely. -
I started playing NG+ today. It's still really good! I would like to find everything, but I doubt that'll happen. IT's actually kinda huge.

Heh, I've also been listening to The History of Byzantium while playing NMS.

Yay!!! Post your NNID so we can try out your levels. -
If you're sprinkling shit on your pizza post-oven, you had a shit pizza chef. They should have done that pre-oven.

Post-oven is unnecessary junk.

Can we just get to the key point of this discussion: Why the fuck are you putting anything on your pizza? It's already perfect.

I finished Blood and Wine. Like every time I play TW3, I play obsessively for a few weeks, get bored because there's so much to do, put it down for a few weeks then get back into it again. It was a great expansion, I thoroughly enjoyed all the main quests, and even some of the side stuff. I didn't bother with all the monster quests this time, because they all blend together at some point. I still have problems with the upgrade system. They add a new upgrade system in the expansion, which lets you get some cool bonuses, and also acquire more skills. However, the upgrades cost so many points I just felt like it didn't do anything. Levelling up doesn't make you feel powerful in tW3, levelling up 5 times is equivalent to what a single level should be. They also don't surface your HP, which makes it feel like you've never gotten stronger. Oh, and fuck the food/drink system. It's so damn slow! You can't eat/drink multiple things at a time or the latests one just cancels out the previous one.

I have only 1 suit upgrade left. It still feels like I'm constantly low on space. Weirdly enough, I put this game down for a few days, and I have no desire to pick it up again. I was super into it, but the thought of turning it on again just doesn't do anything for me. It's kinda like an MMO. You play everyday because you have to do the dailies, the weeklies and if you miss out something will happen. Then you stop, and suddenly realise that it doesn't matter if you don't do it anymore. It was all just mindless busy work.

I had to delete Adventure capitalist because it was taking over my life.

I'd hate there to be a strong narrative in No Man's Sky.

Ok, I normally just see little critters. Nothing bigger than a bear-sized alien. I've been to roughly 5 planets, which isn't a lot! Trying to find all the wildlife on one planet is painstaking. I want to know what thing I've missed though.
-
I was more referring to the giant dinosaurs. That's really what stood out to me, I've not seen anything like that.

I wonder what the procedural generation version of a bullshot is, because fuck me if that's not a bullshot.

That's hilarious.

Hearthstone: Because what Magic really needed was F2P mechanics
Griddlelol replied to Problem Machine's topic in Video Gaming
Kinda demonstrates my point. The game doesn't help you learn, you've got to put in the effort outside of the game to learn. That's fine, there are lots of games like that, I just don't enjoy it enough to bother. I played a couple of games at lunch, and yeah, I wasn't playing the random deck I had (I just picked druid because it was a quest) to its strengths, but I also have no idea how to build a good deck. Lost 3 matches in what felt inevitable. Everything was countered and I had no counters. That feeling doesn't want to make me come back. Yet I still keep trying, because the art, the design and the idea of the game all draw me in. -
Hearthstone: Because what Magic really needed was F2P mechanics
Griddlelol replied to Problem Machine's topic in Video Gaming
Maybe that's the issue. Hearthstone is the only CCG I've ever even attempted to play, and as a complete novice, it does nothing to teach me how to actually play. I said I was "getting back into it" but that's not really much considering I didn't play a lot before. Sure there are plenty of resources on the internet to help, but if I'm not having fun with the game, I have no incentive to look them up. I want to like Hearthstone. It's just not making it easy. I love min-maxing things and considering minute changes like swapping card x for card y, but the game makes it really hard to do that because I don't have access to the cards. Couple that with wild/normal modes and I have barely any clue what's going on. Weirdly enough, I had a lot of fun playing the brawl, where cards were given random mana values. That's insane RNG, and I won only about 30% of the time, but at least the losses were easy for me to understand - oh that player got a 10 mana card for 3 mana at the start of the game and I didn't. -
Modest Tech: The NX Generation (Nintendo Switch)
Griddlelol replied to dartmonkey's topic in Video Gaming
It's awesome, that's why. -
While the idea of a "Free Mode" is initially appealing, I think after rapidly visiting lots of planets I'd get bored. If there's no challenge to distract from the procedural generation, I'd just see the pattern, see the similarities and end up finding it boring. Planets are fun to go to and explore when it's work to get there. A new environment is a reward for the hard work you put in at the previous planet. Remove the work (and I'm being serious, most of what you do on a planet is work, the rest is exploration) and there's no real carrot and stick. It's all carrot, and carrots get boring if that's all you eat.
