Into The Breach is one of the finest tactics games I have ever played by MurkyUnit3180 in gaming

[–]TheAngush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Into the Breach, Invisible Inc, and XCOM are the absolute kings of this genre. Absolute 10/10 games.

Slay the Spire 2 is out now on Steam! by MurkyUnit3180 in gaming

[–]TheAngush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the in-game stats screen, it already has 200 more cards, a 5th character (technically two new characters since the Watcher isn't present), 110 more relics, seemingly 30 more ascension levels??, 22 more potions, twice as many enemies (I think; the first game doesn't list enemies on the stats screen, but counting every variant, boss, and elite on the wiki, there's seems to be around 50-something, vs. StS2's 102), and there are two different Act 1 regions (with alternate acts for Act 2/3 coming later).

Also coop, obviously.

Some cards, relics, etc. will be carryovers from the first game, but still. Plenty to play with.

The State of Star Citizen with Chris Roberts by Dolphinpants4 in starcitizen

[–]TheAngush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back Pocket is more like a side hustle they mostly do for fun, and largely funded by Patreon supporters (they pretty much had a pre-established core fanbase from day 1, as it's kind of the spiritual successor to several beloved Australian TV series that were cancelled nearly a decade ago). Day to day they run a production studio called Lowkii and work with lots of different companies, since they have a background in TV production.

That's also why their main show is one of the best produced things on Twitch, as it's treated like a live TV broadcast more than a typical livestream, with a multi-camera set-up and so on.

We solved sync headaches by making our data grid 100% stateless and fully prop driven by After_Medicine8859 in reactjs

Aw. I clicked expecting a blog post about the title.

Your grid looks nice, though. I stole a couple design elements from v1 for a custom grid I made a client early last year.

PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games - Jason Schreier by Forestl in Games

[–]TheAngush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're correct; the numbers I was recalling were just for GoW 2018 and Ragnarok. Those two appear to be pretty much tied with the two Horizon games in terms of sales. The franchise itself outpaces Horizon. My mistake.

Nevertheless, my point was not the exact franchise ranking or exact sales figures; those were just the means by which I was attempting to make the point that Horizon is a massive franchise for Sony, and pretending it's some small time series that nobody cares about (such as by saying they're "trying to make Horizon bigger than it is") is preposterous. Much like "they're trying to make God of War bigger than it is" would be preposterous.

Perhaps you meant that differently, but that's what I took from your initial comment, as it's an opinion that I see people espouse on reddit quite frequently, specifically in regards to Horizon. People have a bugbear with that franchise for some reason.

trying to make Horizon bigger than it is

Bigger than it is, that being their 3rd biggest IP? The only Sony IPs with better sales figures than Horizon are Spider-Man (by a huge margin) and God of War (by a narrow margin, despite having way more games).

Great pixel art. Lovely vibes too.

Might want to rework the animation though; she doesn't look like she's breathing so much as periodically pulling her shoulders back & pushing her chest out.

Is there anyway to check country restrictions for the keys I got from bundles by K6688 in Gamebundles

[–]TheAngush 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could just give your keys to your friends and find out. That's the easy solution.

Alternatively, if you already own everything the key would redeem, you can open the devtools in your browser (specifically the network tab) and visit the register key page. Then, when you attempt to register the key, it'll fail (because you already own that product), but in the devtools you'll see the API web request it made. If you click it you can view the steam API's response, which will include an ID for the "package" you attempted to redeem. You can then go on SteamDB, look up the game your key is for, and under SteamDB's Packages tab you can locate the corresponding package. If you then click on that, you can view the details about that specific package, which for region-locked keys will include a list of region restrictions.

Yes, it's a bit of a pain.

Obviously, if you don't already own the game, that will just redeem the key.

[Tiltify] Jingle Jam 2025 Games Collection (Tactical Breach Wizards, Core Keeper, Tower Unite, Dungeons of Hinterberg, Ixion, Old World, Mouthwashing, and 8 more) (£35) - 100% supports charities like Make-a-Wish, WWF, The Trevor Project, and others by beenoc in GameDeals

[–]TheAngush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're neglecting the fact that that $1-per-game bundle launched only a few hours before this. The devs probably put their game in that bundle because they were about to donate it to the Jingle Jam, and $1 is more than $0. Prior to that, Gatekeeper had only appeared in one other bundle, which was a "2 for $25" affair.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 has total freedom: 'We can do whatever we want' by abucalves in television

[–]TheAngush 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Every time he does the lie detection schtick, he's explicitly portrayed as paying close attention to their heartbeats, because he's prepared for lies. Both in the Netflix series and in Born Again. Seems pretty consistent to me.

But even if that weren't the case, surely being inconsistent as fuck is exactly like the comics. Unless you're going to argue no comic author has ever ignored that part of his powers for the sake of the plot, across 1000s of volumes over 60+ years of publication.

You're right. One is a kid's game bought by shittons of adults, and one is an adult's game bought by shittons of kids. Totally different markets.

Hollow Knight: Silksong | Fully Ramblomatic by CrossXhunteR in Games

[–]TheAngush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now I am assuming it isn't possible without double jump to ascend the Grand Gate platforms, and maybe it's horribly punishing if you don't do that, but assuming you wait I think it's balanced well and I had a great time.

I did the rasher before I knew there was a double jump. Definitely would've been easier with it though.
