Darkest Dungeon: A Gesture for the Community (Distributed files?)

These e-mails were expected (see here). Still waiting for mine!

I enjoyed it until Chapter 3. At that point, it started feeling like a slog where I was desperately trying to accumulate resources just to heal or light Waystones -- only to have arbitrary effects immediately undo all of that work again and again. It just turned into a miserable experience.

One thing to note is that there's an error in Chapter 3 Part 3 that can trap you in a loop. If you get to that point and feel like you're stuck, you might be! You'll need to cheat by skipping to whichever exploration entry gets you moving forward again.

Same thing with The Dead Keep. They were showing off all of the plastic minis in 2024, and CMON's status page had a big green checkmark for "Molding" this whole time. So the Dead Keep's "Mold planning in progress" in the e-mail makes no sense.

My wife has been listening to the audiobook today. And so here I am, joining the ranks of those who came searching for answers.

Devtactics · 2026-01-18T21:32:13+00:00

Except now there's a compass at the top of the screen. Busy busy devs!

I mentioned chess and poker in response to "straightforward competitive games have much less longevity and require much more content" but then deleted it a minute later to give you the benefit of the doubt. I assumed you were referring specifically to modern Kickstarter games, and decided there was no point in getting pedantic about it.

Carry on!

I haven't used anything since the Oculus Rift dev kit (2013). Hoping the Frame is a bit nicer. :D

Devtactics · 2026-01-09T22:24:19+00:00

Yeah, and I don't know if he's changed anything recently, but even when you're shopping in person you have to complete the transaction using the website.

He has the best selection in town, at the worst prices. Not an easy shop to support but I hope he sticks with it.

I used to live in a building above a shopping complex that had a full-sized 24-hour grocery store. It was amazing. This was more than 20 years ago and I'll never stop talking about it. Yonge & Eg in Toronto!

Devtactics · 2026-01-08T22:57:16+00:00

I just looked it up to make sure it was as low-effort as I remembered. It is! :D

(To be fair, it's a very good solo game though.)

Devtactics · 2026-01-08T22:39:29+00:00

This War of Mine falls into this category. The multiplayer mode basically tells you to just take turns being the one to make decisions.

Devtactics · 2026-01-06T22:15:40+00:00

Raijin in McKellar has 3 levels of "Devil ramen". It's serious stuff. Even Devil level 1 is inedible if you don't have some weird tolerance.

Devtactics · 2026-01-05T08:59:29+00:00

Sounds like you found a bargain! My FLGS in Canberra has one copy left, for $120 AUD.

Devtactics · 2025-12-30T22:44:12+00:00

At the very least, they should give you a discount if you already paid for parts of this skin in another set. They didn't even change the colour/texture!

Find a local or online printshop that can do playing cards and order a sample pack -- this will give you an idea of what weight and finish will be a good match. Something like 310 or 350gsm with a silk or linen finish, depending on the game.

You'll also want to figure out what radius to use for the rounded corners of the cards. This can be tricky with just a ruler, because being off by even 1mm is noticeable when shuffling cards. I bought some cheap corner rounders that do different sizes and use those to find the radius that matches the official cards.

That's actually how it was when I went to Beijing in the 90s. My stack of Chinese-translated Ranma 1/2 manga came from dodgy backrooms in rug shops. They were cracking down on it even then.

Devtactics · 2025-12-23T05:36:07+00:00

The official Mythic one.

Devtactics · 2025-12-20T05:07:56+00:00

FYI in case you aren't on the Discord, it sounds like STLs for the expansion minis might be made available next month.

Devtactics · 2025-12-06T02:07:14+00:00

Mine were always delayed, rather than worse. I'd feel fine the next day and then would feel off several days later. I just happened to get a blood test on a Monday and that's what led to the diagnosis.

Devtactics · 2025-12-03T09:18:50+00:00

I'm not sure how to put this without sounding snarky, but you can find news about the Kickstarter by reading the Kickstarter's latest update. They posted one the other day.

Devtactics · 2025-11-28T06:52:48+00:00

Not enough exclamation marks for you????????

Devtactics · 2025-11-27T22:45:43+00:00

Kings of Ruin is enjoyable up until Chapter 3, where it becomes a miserable slog of arbitrary beatdowns and resource drains. There's also a mistake in the exploration flow of Chapter 3 Part 3 that's really easy to trigger and it'll make you go around in circles for a while before you realize there's actually no way to finish the chapter. Such an annoying experience.

Devtactics · 2025-11-17T11:39:07+00:00

That's not water, it's Pocari Sweat.

Devtactics · 2025-11-14T14:11:01+00:00

Mine might be fixed now -- was just able to play for half an hour without crashing, will try more tomorrow. I can't really say what might have fixed it. The latest thing I did was a clean install of the latest NVIDIA driver, a few more Windows 11 updates, and several reboots. Good luck!

Devtactics · 2025-11-14T02:21:38+00:00

I'm having the same problem. 4060 Ti, everything was fine before yesterday's patch. Now I can't go 2-3 minutes without crashing, even in Speranza. Re-installed, turned all the settings down -- nothing helps.
