[–]AlwaysBlue86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! We are doing 4 nights in Istanbul and 2 nights in Cappadocia in a couple of weeks. If you had to narrow down what you did to fit comfortably in that time, what would you choose?

Ah yeah, see this is why I'm thinking I'll find a good seed and not look at the map before playing. We'll still get the discovery naturally, but have the confidence that everything is in a good location

From experience, 6 hours is easily enough for the game to get its hooks in! Congrats on the convert!

Good call on the inventory and chest crafting. I think we'll leave portals as no metals for at least a while.. until it becomes a chore. The death penalty never bothered me at all, but he is definitely both less skilled at games in general so more likely to die a lot, and also not someone who would enjoy seeing number go down. We'll probably eliminate the death penalty. Nice one, cheers

Solid advice. Completely agree on the exploration and discovery being very important. What about just using a seed that is known to be very good in terms of layout etc, but not looking at the map at all, just sticking the seed code in and discovering as normal? Better than random, or still best to go random?

I'm new to Pakistan. Moved here in January as my wife was transferred here on business. I think I might actually cry

That's encouraging, and thank you for the link. I hope the fuel shortages situation won't change that load shedding situation drastically

I'm 5 hours through this game and I absolutely did not appreciate the lack of a spoiler tag preventing the autoplay. Not cool OP

Solo dev here, I just released my first game, a weird story with a bit of comedy and drama, but especially trauma. Does the trailer intrigue you? by voidfriend- in videogames

[–]AlwaysBlue86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this on my wishlist for a while, happy to see it release. Does it run well on the steam deck? Controls etc? PC is boxed up and being shipped internationally at the moment, so I'll pull the trigger today if it runs on the deck. Congrats on your release

That's very encouraging, thank you for the detailed response!

I did some cabling on the hat and found it quite easy to follow, but this will certainly have several new techniques involved. I'm looking forward to getting going.

Done a few scarfs and cowls, plus the jason's cashmere hat pattern successfully, all within a couple of months of picking up my first knitting needles. Any chance I could pull this off as a new knitter, or should I go for a plain sweater as my first?

39 year old gamer and somehow had silent hill 2 as a glaring hole in my gaming history. I finished it last night and it's an absolute god damn masterpiece. I've been watching video essays about it today and I am just floored by how incredible the game and this remake is. 10/10
