FIGHT!

Human vs Human fights are best

I've been playing Third Strike and its the first time a fighting game has totally grabbed me like this. Thinking of going to some locals when I have my basics down a bit more.

Play SNK fighters.

the shell trilogy has been finished, it was released by shiravune on steam :) i also recommend fata morgana its my favorite

Stick with katawa shoujo and see if you like it. What started my personal love with VNs was finding something really touching… for me, that was CLANNAD.

Go to the visual novel database (vndb) and go to the front page of the VN list. Find something that interests you! You can sort by tag, and if you want something shorter (so its easier to finish), the website tells you the average time of the game.

Does anyone have any good fantasy (I don't care if it's eastern or western fantasy) or yamikawaii themed VNs that are preferably yuri but not required? I don't know too much about VNs outside of the Nonary Games series and a few romance ones but I'm not into the romance genre.

>>2664
you could try one of the Nitroplus VNs, they're one of the big companies that focuses more on fantasy/supernatural stories. Not sure if they did anything yuri.

>>2665
Alright, sick. I kinda knew the guys who made Saya no Uta (haven't played) would get recommended if I asked but this is a good sign to actually finally check them out x)

>>2547
I checked it out per your recommendation and that was really damn cool. It's a gorgeous little game and I can see why you felt compelled to bring it up here. I look forward to its full release.

WELCOME BRIGADOR

MIRAGE 2000

I don't live in the EU and online multiplayer ruined gaming but games as a service sounds pretty horrible. I doubt the government will do anything about it. Those morons practically worship corporations. Best you can do is never buy these games in the first place.

>>2177
Doesn't right to repair include this somehow? I know battlefield 2 exists solely as a community effort ever since gamespy closed down. The only thing I remember EA shutting down were the links to free downloads of the game itself.

I'm a hypocrite in a sense but I just avoid games like that because I often don't have a good enough internet connection for games. I do play genshin though

Games that ONLY work when there's an internet online should be illegal.

>>2557 I used to have that DSi as a child but I traded it in ;_;

>>2564
Love how crunchy the soundcards on these were. They were perfectly complex enough that it wasn't beep boop type noise like from eras prior but still compressed enough to sound like tires on gravel. I miss mine.

I don't see how there is any room for discussion that the PSP GO is the coolest shit ever.

>>2557
my motion plus wii was always cool to me because everyone else's was white www. Still don't know what motionplus meant…

From what I've seen, communities aren't formed by individuals, but by trends. One does not simply make a new community and invite people into it, but rather an existing community has a trend that grows large enough that the participants in that trend split off to create a new community. You see this a lot in video game guilds, often due to differences in focus or philosophy.

So instead of recommending that others simply buck up and create new communities, I think it's more productive to encourage others to be active and make connections within their local existing communities. And through those connections, they find other people who follow the trends that more closely align with their own, and they can work with these people to form a new community.

You don't have to ask them to leave necessarily, but rather to join your new community alongside your current community. And once you've formed it, you are already close enough to the core founding members that you can establish community leaders that you trust and know will align with the core values of the community.

i really don't think this isn't necessarily true. plenty of communities are made when someone just makes a server and sticks all their friends in there and then all their friends' friends etc. then they all go play Skribblio together or whatever.

>>2648
That's what you do though – you create a server or a social media account or a guild or whatever and you keep advertising it everywhere until you have enough people who agree with you. Yeah it's tedious and frustrating and you'll get a bunch of people who show up just to mock you, but there's not much of a better way to find people. You don't need 20 million followers. A core of somewhere around 5 to 20 people is about right. That's what a normal community is.

>>2649
That's basically what I meant by usurping an existing community.

>>2652
>>2651
>>2652 (Me)
in all seriousness though, "making a community" is difficult when the kinda thing i look for is more nebulous than just "is a fan of X" or "likes Y games", i dont even think i want to create a clique, at least out of randoms online, because it kind of creates this atmosphere where where normalfigs will still dominate regardless, like, theres small, safe amounts of normalcy, and itd be plain rude if you just rejected them for that, since everyone's a little normal, but then it starts creeping in more and more inevitably, through sheer phenomena and abundance rather than any individual person's fault, and it just creates another atmosphere that you dont really feel welcome in anymore. for example, some of the games/manga i like are notoriously lewd or spooky or both, and yet whenever i try to find a server or multiplayer game for it, the communities are usually very safe and even the ones based in series that are extremely blatant with how creatively unhinged they are, shameless creator and all, they tend to actively fear ever getting into or discussing the more non normalfig safe topics, and will even forbid it in most cases despite it being a central part of the series' appeal and writing, to the point it doesnt even feel like a fanclub and more like just another place for normals to talk about hype moments and aura or whatever
i know its mostly a matter of me just properly moderating the community i create, but, like, in spite of that, its still going to be incredibly difficult to actually pass around, especially considering how dangerous big public spaces online can be, so i think i'll need to look for better alternatives than making a discord server (i know discord is lame but its the only option that isnt dead and broken)
i could try only inviting people from imageboards but i feel like thatd only work if ive already harbored a community in an imageboard before doing so, in which i have, and attempted, and failed (especially considering despite our similarities im ultimately pretty different from the most of them)
so now i explore many different imageboards trying to find something more, (which is why i am here to begin with), but again, not Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

If defeating the end dragon isn't the game goal, then why do the credits roll after doing so?

I hope you're having a great time, OP!

I wanted to play VRChat too, but some kid called me ugly, and I decided not to return to VRChat until I'm good enough with Blender to make my own pretty model, or I get a job and can hire someone to make one for me (neither of which has yet to happen). I do still want to play VRChat though, just not yet. I want to be pretty :(

I do still want to try it though, and hopefully, with a prettier model, make some friends, and maybe even attend raves!

>>2624

>I hope you're having a great time, OP!

Thanks sushi!

What avatar were you using when this kid called you ugly? I think you could get something nice for very cheap, or even for free if you don't mind spending 2 hours hopping through worlds

Oh, and another question, are on PCVR or on a standalone headset?
With the quest and such, you might find it difficult to get into raves (which are really resource intensive)

I wish you well either way sushi

>>2625
I think I was using some kind of preset avatar. I did find a nice avatar I would like to use. It was made by the guy responsible for the art style of "Spiral Knights"! I don't know if you've heard of that game, but I love its art style.

I would use PC VR for raves, yeah.

>>2631

I saw some of the art from Spiral Knights and I like the artsyle; real cute

Mind sharing a picture of the avatar youre using now?

>>2632
Nope! I'm gonna keep this one to myself! ;)

for anyone interested, crypt of the necrodancer, a hat in time, and touhou genso wanderer are all on sale on the switch

>Disgaea is great, but you have to like it's sense of humor.
so far i like it, it doesn't make me laugh out loud but it's pretty funny, especially when the characters argue with each other.
>Just know that 5 is loaded with QoL improvements over the earlier games and it can be rough trying to play the others. Even the remasters didn't add a whole lot of what 5 has.
thankfully, i'm used to downgrades in qol because of series like fire emblem and megaten, unless in disgaea it's especially horrible or something
>6 looks like shit though. I can't stand that 3D CGI crap compared to the sprites the rest of the series uses.
bullet dodged i guess

really glad i bought this game, it's great value considering the fact that i'm probably gonna put hundreds of hours into it. it's really suited for a handheld too

Player DARKMAUS ~ a top-down indie game where you control a mouse fighter in a spooky environment. Twas a fun souls-like game.

Warframe & War Thunder are still free to play?

i've probably spent like $1000 on war thunder. don't do it….

>>2612
is it that bad?

>>2617
Do you have access to a USB Controller? I vaguely recall a program like "XInput" or something that would allow you to map keyboard buttons to controller buttons. What do you think of this idea?

supposedly chip8 is a good way to learn emulation development, but I wanted to learn a 'real' console and chipset.

>>2614
i was wondering if fantasy consoles existed and i found the pico-8 around the time i was thinking about it, that's all

yeah i like fantasy consoles. it's really fun to mess around with these things

>>2618
Sounds good, thanks for the suggestion!
