KanColle general

I don't know how many of you play this, but I'll set up here for now.

picrel: I thought the limited drops would end with the last update, so I panicked and spammed 3-1 pretty much a couple hours before maintenance. ~10 runs in, I finally got my first non-Chitose AV and my first foreign ship! hoping to get Fletcher or Isokaze next as I'm lacking in anti-air DDs, but that drop probably sucked up my luck for the month.

how's your base going, sushi?

/vn/ Visual Novel Discussion

Hello everybody, I need a comfy place to talk about VNs. /vn/ on 4chan is filled with literal pedos who only talk about eroge, and I don't like Reddit's format enough to use r/visualnovels. So what have you all been reading lately? What are some great games that we've been missing out on?
R: 245 / I: 154

Comfy Games

Hey sushirolls. What are some of the comfiest games you've ever played?

I recently just finished playing Va-11 Hall-A for the first time. It's not really a game by everybody's standards but it was really comfy and a great experience overall.

I'd totally recommend it to anybody with a rainy night, some tea, and time to waste.
R: 71 / I: 47

Comment on the last game you finished

Since there was no thread for this topic I decided to do it myself. I'll start.

I've finished The World Ends With You, and I left it fairly cold.
It's partially my fault for playing an undub on a game that has no subtitles for its cutscenes, but even after seeing the ending on youtube, so much feels as if all that happened in the game was pointless. Which sucks because I really liked the game up until the ending.
What is happening with me that I'm not appreciating games as much as I should? Same thing happened to me with Omori, I went in thinking it would be a surreal game with some Mother inspirations but the game was far too tame for me personally. Even after hearing about the topics that the game tackles.

If sushi finished a game and also wants to talk about it he can post here freely.

What are your thoughts on remakes?

Seems like they get a bad rep nowadays, I remember I used to look forward to them, but now that old graphics or game mechanics don't seem much of an issue, I can't help but seeing them as red flags.
What about you?

hey sushis, I went to a game tournament last week and it was fun! I didn't do so well, but I loved talking to people about video games and stuff! have you guys gone to tournaments before?
R: 36 / I: 23

the backlog dilemma

How do you deal with your /arcade/ backlog?

Do you keep some time of the day/week/year to find and play things you've always wanted to, or do you act on istinct? I have a shit ton of games waiting in my room (or to be downloaded) but can't find a viable method to just jump in and finish some.
R: 21 / I: 15

Roguelikes

How come we don't have a roguelikes thread on /arcade/ yet?

What's your most recent social life killer? How do you usually try to build your character? Do you believe in optional content?

Recently I've been playing:

ToME - Very decent game if you enjoy taking it slow and playing in a reactive way. While there are enough fodder enemies, rares spawn with same classes, skillsets and progression a player character could have achieved at their level, which makes fights incredibly fun and complex, especially when you're facing three multi-classed enemies of your level who consist of a melee tank, a ranged DD and a CC mage.

Soulash 1/2 - fairly small roguelikes, can't recommend them for more than one night of fun, they attracted me with tank controls and FoV, which I personally would like to see in more top-down games, but turned out to be very shallow and felt rushed.

Also killed a few of my nights by playing DCSS again, constantly trying to go for a short blades all offense build.

TTRPG Thread!

Thread for TTRPG discussion and organization.

# What is a TTRPG?
TTRPG, sometimes TRPG, stands for TableTop Role-Playing Game. It includes big names, like D&D, and much less heard of ones, like Song of Swords. The rule systems run from extremely thorough, with rules for things like how many Thai chilli peppers you can eat before getting ill, to so broad as to be nearly nonexistent, with only basic guidelines on how to play. In almost all systems, the key component that sets it apart from video game RPGs is the presence of the Dungeon Master, Game Master, Referee, etc. They help to adjudicate edge cases not covered by rules and create exceptions to the rules in favour of fun, meaning a TRPG has much more freedom of action than a normal RPG.

# Where do I play?
Generally, TTRPGs, especially niche ones without large player bases, are played in-person, but there are also sites and apps that allow you to play over the internet and find groups. The biggest one right now is probably roll20; signing up is free, and as a player, you never need to pay for anything. Other applications include FoundryVTT (paid for by a GM), Maptools (free), AstralVTT (free), and Fantasy Grounds (expensive, but very nice). Some groups even play on Tabletop Simulator, which has the added bonus of letting you play poker or Life before a session starts or if someone flakes.

There's also the potential to show up at a gaming store; if you live in the US, Canada, or Europe, there's plenty of those around too. Gaming stores are in-person, obviously, but they also often boast long-time, highly experienced and confident game masters who are knowledgable at how to best cater to newbies trying to enter the hobby. There are many websites online to help you find game stores near you.

# Where do you get the rulebooks?
You can buy them from places like drivethrurpg, or you can pirate them from https://thetrove.net/. As a new player, you often don't need very many books; both Shadowrun and Pathfinder have relatively complete wikis online with all the setting-agnostic information you need, and Pathfinder even has a setting wiki so there's no reason to buy the books for their content.

there's a thread here ( >>196 ) on old source/goldsrc games which i enjoy.
this thread is for modern source/source 2.
i love counterstrike ive been playing it for 20+ years love every single iteration especially cs:go.
so, when i heard there was going to be a cs2 i was so excited.
the improved graphics are a major plus yet the movement feels a tad off, then there's the cheaters so many cheaters to the point where some matches might as well be HvH. cs:go wasnt perfectly balanced on release so im hoping in a year or two cs2 will be better balanced. last but not least in regards to cs2 maps are needed i miss train and cache.
oh yeah, deadlock beta is going on i got an invite to it but havent downloaded it yet cause i dont like the cartoony look its like they put every source game in a blender to make this thing.

Stop Killing Games: How to help keep online-only games alive!

I know you guys might not find the idea of indulging in social movements enticing, but there has been this initiative recently that I believe pushes for a benefit for most of us.

Lately Games as a Service have become quite the norm in this day and age, and it's a very common trend for these games to not let players access the game's content any longer once End of Service arrives. Even if you bought a physical copy of it, there is no way to access these games any longer since they required connection to the servers to play them.

This pledge would be in order so that the EU provides consumers the right to be able to still access these games, allowing users to host their own instances of them, in the case a company or developer group decides to announce End of Service. It would allow a decentralization similar to mastodon 's infrastructure, where if one instance is shutdown, users are able to host their own servers, and the products they bought wouldn't be rendered useless.
I normally believe most users have to do the right thing and not purchase games that they'd be sure these kind of things would happen. But given the tracking record of the EU, bringing back replaceable batteries and making USB-C standard, I don't think this isn't that bad of an idea.

If you think this is a good way to help videogames in general, here are some links you might find interesting:

FAQ: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/faq

The initiative:
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home

The amount of signatures that are required for this to be taken into consideration by the EU parliament is 1 million, and it also requires certain thresholds to be met. ie: it requires 7 countries of the EU to reach a certain amount of signatures.
This can be tracked here:

Anyhow, if mods feel like this kind of post may clash a bit with the culture of the board, I don't mind!

May you all have a nice day!~

hey sushirolls, I feel like MMOs have fallen out of style. This makes me sad, since I find them to be cozy, so I wanted to know if anyone else stills plays them.

Best Final Fantasy 11 private server

Out of the different Final Fantasy 11 private servers, I like Valhalla the most.

Valhalla has TRUSTs, 90 level cap, XP gain rate same as retail. Movement speed is increased, all Home Point crystal warps and outpost warps are unlocked. They have some nice extra content like a unique gear augment system, a few custom dungeons, Dynamis D raids are unlocked. Rise of the Zilart, Treasures of AU, Wings of the Goddess expansions are all unlocked and working properly.

So anyway if you are tried of the slow grind to 75 on the other private servers like Horizon or Eden, then come check out Valhalla.

Endless Ocean 3

I haven't been excited for a game in a long time, but this really made me happy to see. Endless Ocean 2 is probably one of my favorite games ever. I figured that the franchise had been long forgotten, but lo and behold one day I find out of nowhere that there is a new game coming out soon. I remember there being rumors of one in the works but I didn't believe it. I think it's hard to mess up a diving/aquarium/dolphin training collection game. I imagine nowadays would be the perfect time to release a new one since people seem to be really into these kinds of games nowadays, so I can see it doing really well. I especially like that now I can play it all comfy in bed, and the 30+ people multiplayer thing seems real fun, but I don't want to have to pay a subscription to Nintendo.

Do any other sushirolls have any nostalgia for Endless Ocean, or has anyone played it?

Sega Saturn thread

Seeing as there's already threads for the Mega Drive and the Dreamcast, I see no reason why there shouldn't be one for SEGA's most underrated console, the Saturn.
An excellent console with an unfortunate fate in the west as a lot of its games in its library remained in Japan.
Now that emulation has made considerable progress and some translation projects are have finally gotten completed such as the ones for Sakura Taisen and Wachenröder, there hasn't been a better time to experience the Saturn than today.
Some of my favourite Saturn games include Princess Crown, NiGHTS Into Dreams, Groove on Fight, Metal Slug and Puyo Puyo Sun (they might not all be exclusives but they're still a great addition).
Feel free to post about the games you've played/planning to play, fun facts or any question you might have about the Saturn!

Dominions 6: now with 50% more elfing

This is a niche title to be sure but among those who know, all agree it’s the best “Master of Magic-like” fantasy holy war simulator. Now in its 6th iteration!
As a primarily multiplayer game, it is best with 4-8 players; it is my hope we can organize a sushi community for batting bloodthirsty elves against the forces of Central American frog warriors, Monkey people from Hindi legends and surprisingly mundane Germans in heavy plate.

3DS!

I got myself a 3ds a while ago, mostly to emulate stuff but also to play games exclusive to the DS and the 3DS. I couldn't fathom emulating them so I bought one.
Trouble is I can't imagine any game on the DS or 3DS that I'd like to play.
Does sushi know any cool games on it? I'm a fan of the platformers the most, but if it's from another genre don't be afraid of posting it.

WiiU appreciation Thread

Even if Nintendo got almost everything wrong with this console starting from horrible loading times to censoring content, I still find it extremely comfy - the menu music, the forgotten games, the whole experience still has something other consoles do not have.

What are you playing right now? I'm going through Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. I was mad when they showed that it wasn't gonna be a true SMT x FE back in 2015, but a colourful, cool and comfy adventure in modern Tokyo with an idol show business setting is good too.

Interactive Fiction

Sushies into Interactive Fiction? I'm once again looking into it, and I also want to write some.
I like the idea of making a virtual world to explore. I also like it as a medium for worldbuilding. Then there is also it's value as a literary medium. Like a step further from traditional linear storytelling (not to diminish the value of it of course).
Along these lines I ask you, do you have any preferred genre or style of IF?
One specific I'm wondering about is the distinction between a short story with a clear impact and carefully crafted to deliver that impact, or perhaps a long and involved story with several branches on an open world?
There's so much variation here that I'll probably be bringing up more questions in the future. In the mean time feel free to bring out your own ideas, and for those who actually do write, let's get your thoughts on design.
Also, What is your favorite game? Advent? Zork? Hitchhiker's? I'm a big fan of Suspended though I haven't by far made much progress…

e-sports and commentary

A few years ago I smoked a lot of pot and thus found great entertainment in commentated professional gaming. The way commentators direct your attention and point out important things or just give background information on the players, maps, strategies and so on is really captivating and can enhance the experience of the game a lot.

When it comes to games I haven't played myself, a good commentator, giving explanations on game mechanics and meta, can completely shift my view on the action and appreciation of skill involved. This is prominently in speedrunning the case, where the beauty of tricks or glitches often only comes to shine with the knowledge of how to archive them.

What are your favorite e-sports?

For starters I recommend this post-match analysis of a game between Rapha and Cooller in Quake with Rapha himself explaining everything.

Non-violent games

Some stuff happened to me recently, and lately I've found I do not enjoy violent games anymore. I just go to a bad place if I spend too long killing virtual people. This includes the "non-lethal" violence of mercilessly beating the shit out of people, or forcing them to take sleepy-time drugs against their will.

So let's talk about games that are non-violent, or at least have interesting non-violent gameplay options.

Thief 2 immediately comes to mind. Yeah, you can bean people in the head with a truncheon, but that's not at all required to finish the game (I think). Feel free to correct me.

OG Mirror's Edge is also a really good one. I think the art is beautiful, and I really like running the levels over and over and over trying to do things slightly faster than the last time. I guess this is how racing games are in general, though I haven't played many beyond Trackmania Squared.

Funnily enough, I tried to play Asscreed II non-violently: just focusing on the collectibles, touring the cities, learning about all the history and architecture, not killing anybody. Unfortunately, since I didn't already have a post-story save file on hand, the violence required to advance the plot and see new areas kind of burned me out and killed the whole experience.

Procedural Generation games

Which games do you think use this technology the best? Personally I think it's done the best in FOSS and Freeware games (Not free-2-play), as they're more likely to actually flesh out their use of generation to make something enjoyable, as well as give the player tools to manipulate their surroundings in some way.

Any Psychonaut fans here?
What were your thoughts on Psychonauts 2?
I enjoyed it for the most part. Graphics and gameplay were vastly improved, but what made the first Psychonauts so great for me, was its writing, and unfortunately, the writing felt weaker here. Found it to be a lot less funny, didn't have its dark, cynical humour like before, but I guess pic related explains that change.

Are you on team Steam, or are you a local copy kind of person?

I'm on both sides of the fence, but I find myself leaning towards the latter lately.

No matter how much money Valve makes, I still feel like they'll go the way of AOL and Myspace one day.

Or perhaps not.. Steam has been around in some form for over 10 years, an eternity in the software world. Users still enjoy frequent sales, access to the latest titles, and the vibrant social networking. Steam makes it easier for people to organize multiplayer games, and lets friends with like minded tastes stay in touch.

And you can't understate the growing popularity of esports, where Counter Strike and DOTA hold prestigious positions, both requiring Steam in order to play.

There are many other features I could go into with VR, automatic updates, good support for GNU/Linux(Gabe Newell uses Debian iirc), ect..

The bottom line: Steam is convenient, easy, and rules the market.

So I'm wondering, what makes it so desirable to leave the Steam client behind? My first argument was that your local games will always be yours so long as you maintain the data. Meaning you just need to avoid having the games deleted, and if your storage drive fails, have backups of your games.

Valve has stated that in the event of Steam going under they would remove the DRM for their games, such as Half Life and Left 4 Dead, but the fate of the rest of your library is really at the hands of the individual publishers. Most employ DRM as of now, but one kept secret about Steam is that there are many DRM-free titles available on the service, they just aren't advertised as such, the same way GOG boasts about their DRM free library. If you have any games that require DOS Box for instance, you can pretty much drag the files out of your Steam folders and use them just as well.

Aside from DRM, and I'm going on a personal tangent here, but sometimes when I play video games, I want to feel completely alone. I don't want my friends trying to chat with me whilst trying to immerse myself in a round of The Long Dark, or reading books in Morrowind(both games available DRM free I might add).

Steam has work a around for this. You can completely disable notifications if you please, change your status to offline(although it's so painfully obvious when you do this, as Steam misstates your log out time + will still update the recently play games on your profile). Lastly, and not to be confused with a status change, there's a complete offline mode available for Steam.

Now there are many bogus rumors about this offline mode, and I'm not going to make any claims as to which are true, and which are false. The two most common ones are that you can't use offline with first signing in, and that you can't play games over the internet while in offline mode. The latter is obvious with games that use your Steam profile in game, but I think if the games uses it's own profile and connection system, it's possible to do so. Again, I'm not entirely sure. The former supposedly has a work around according to my 5 seconds of googling.

Besides the availability of titles, since not every game is cracked or available from an alternative store front, I find going through the trouble of using Steam's offline mode not worth it anymore over just using local copies.

On an extended side note, I've saved a ton of money not dumping into the temptation of sales. But that's a problem with me, not Steam lol.

Game_Development

Hello sushies!

I didnt know if I should post this here or >>>/silicon/257 so, I thought I should make this a sushichan project so we can all enjoy it.
I've been working on a game that im building in Ruby on Rails. It is a mix between a TCG and classic JRPG party building and turn based combat. I have most of the rules written but I would like to get some input on what I can put in the game and what you would like to play. I havent worked on the core controller (engine) yet but I have the basic turn lay out and deck construction.
Im working on the card database right now and will move on to the static pages and deck builder next.
I am currently looking at adding in a map for a Clan style ranking system but I think it might be a bit overdone buy now. Im also on a background/story I was using FF for all the play testing but never go around for any overarching plot so anything would be good there.

Let me know what you think and Ill keep updating.

browser games

Do you play browser games?
> MMO games, usually in real time (even when logged off), played in with your internet browser
and kinda addictive. I personally like strategy and economy games like Ogame a lot. If you spend several hours a day online anyways, these are a nice distraction, creating the illusion of being productive all the time. For example you start an upgrade in the evening and wake up just in time to begin the next one.

The positive aspect about it might be the adaption of a structured waking time, quite useful for slack folks like me.

Often you can find tools online for various simulations, converters or game play enhancements, but of course writing your own handy scripts is neat and with economy heavy games, even offering APIs, it is also inviting.

Zoomer playing old games

When I was young, my parents didn't have much money, so while I did play games a lot, they were always somewhat old;for instance, my brother and I played CoD 2 (2005) a lot even when MW2 was the big thing. I also fondly remember playing Super Mario 64 and some stuff on the Wii. Anyways, now it seems like the majority of games (big ones at least) are all just FPSs and battle royales and in general a lot don't seem to have much soul. The Outer Worlds just didn't have that FNV feeling. So I've been playing old games and actually having a lot of fun. Got Morrowind recently, which I remember playing a little around the time Skyrim came out/got big. Also a few months back I played N64 LoZ games on an emulator and I think I'm going to do that again. Any other suggestions for older games I might not really remember (or just comments)? Anything goes, these just seem…better but worse in a wierd way.

Racing games

Thread music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atD8coOkWso

I'm really into racing games.
There's something cathartic about constantly improving yourself and shaving milliseconds off of your time, becoming perfect over each iteration over your run.
The physics start feeling just right, you feel the car sliding to corner at a perfect apex on a dime, what a feeling.

Who here likes racing games?

I own a bunch but I identify racing games I play the most into three categories, they're all good for different moods:

Semi-realistic racers:
Rally racing, circuit racing, if it gets too realistic the physics become cumbersome, but it's nice being focused on the weight transfer of the car.
Examples: Sega Rally 2, Dirt Rally, Colin McRae Rally, Gran Turismo.

Mindless tuning racers:
Racing games where you tune cars, constantly upgrading the settings on your car, either by straight grinding for upgrades or actually setting the gears, making sure aero is a perfect balance of stable on straights and stable enough on turns etc.
Tokyo Midnight Xtreme Racer 3, Need For Speed Underground 2, Drag Racer V3 Flash game, Forza Horizon 3

Really fast arcade racers:
Probably my favourite category, race games that go really fast and constantly have you on edge and focused.
Sometimes they have objectives, other times they do not.
The Initial D arcade games, Battle Gear, Outrun 2006: Coast to Coast, Wangan Midnight arcade games, Ballistic, Drift City.

Do you like it when real licensed cars are included in games? I love it.
I especially like seeing certain favourites of mine, the R32 Skylines are always good to see.
Not the GT-R, the GTS-T model, designated ENR32 on the chassis as opposed to BNR32, they are rear wheel drive versions of the GT-R as opposed to all wheel drive, with single turbo engines as opposed to twin turbo, kind of rare to see in games!

Is there a certain kind of feeling you'd like to have? or are there qualities that you feel a perfect racing game for you would possess? Feel free to mention this and I'll try to give you recommendations!

Old Source/GoldSrc games

Half-life, natural selection, counter-strike, dod, team fortress, just to name a few!
I feel like these game are super comfy. Along with bunny hopping, there are many reasons why these games are just better than newer games in their series'. TF2 doesn't have concs, making it super slow, and csgo has loads of problems.

Why are older games so much better?

I'm new here and things seem sort of quiet so I thought I'd make a thread anyone could post in pretty easily: old school favourites.

Everyone's got a game they loved from a time gone by, so let's talk about them!

Here's one of my all time favourites to start us off: Crystalis on the NES. It felt so much smoother than any other game I'd played around that time and you were so free to travel around, the magic was interesting and the world was constructed so well.. I almost wish I could forget everything about it so I could experience it all over again as if it were new.

It was sure a good looking game for the system too.

Minecraft Lost Cities

I set up a Minecraft Lost Cities modded server to play around with. Take a look. It's a mapgen mod, so the world is an auto-generated abandoned city in all directions. If there is enough interest for me to find donors, I will add some more features and plugin support. Currently it is otherwise vanilla, with 12 player slots.

There are skyscrapers, highways, bridges, tunnels, subways, and other structures. Forever. Treasure boxes and mob spawners are scattered randomly about, making it a very hostile world with infinite exploration value.

Sushi Striker

It's so sad that no one is talking about this game. I get the price might scare away the general audience and the fact that action-puzzle games have been tainted by phone games doesn't help either, but this game is seriously a lot of fun! I guess it's cool that the few people who bought this game are also enjoying it as much as
I am, but considering that this is a nintendo game stuck on the switch and the 3ds, and the fact that the price is $50 means this game is probably destined to fail.
If you have a switch and want to play this game, just do what I did! I used those nintendo gold coins you get when you buy stuff from the eshop and knocked the price down to $43.

VR Thread

Resurrecting this thread out of the .tokyo archives. Any sushi rolls here own a VR headset? Any rolls just curious about them? What games/experiences are you trying these days? Any small projects that you would recommend trying?

The last thread was made just as the two main PC headsets (Oculus Rift and Vive) were coming out in 2016. In the two years since, we've seen slow but constant growth in both headset sales and the number of available games. In addition, the lineup of Windows Mixed Reality headsets is making room-scale VR with hand tracking more affordable than ever. Beat Saber is helping to push VR to arcades across the country and I really hope this is the time when VR makes it to the mainstream.

I am not sure if you guys make Dreamcast generals here since I am new but I didn't find any live so I created one



Soooo…
Few weeks ago I randomly stumbled upon on this YT channel Elysyan shadows.
Eminently I fallen in love with their content and their personalities.
They are making "next gen 2D RPG".Main guy Falco is THAT one techy C programmer who started this project 7 years ago with few friends. Basically they made 3D engine for 2D game.I highly suggest you to watch their YT Adventures In Game Development series.They are successfully founded on Kickstarter and planing to release game in 2017.
Also I was blown away with the fact that there are indie developers still working and publishing games for Dreamcast

BTW I just found ouy that they had huge problems with team so after all this yeras only two guys are working on this Falco and Patryk.I really hope they finish

Kentucky Route Zero

Despite it's lack of gamey-ness, this is shaping up to be one of my favorite video games of all time. It without a doubt disproves people who say video games can't be art, in my eyes at least.

I'd love to discuss it, if any other sushi rolls have played it.
