Back in my day, we unlocked characters by meeting a specific list of obscure criteria, which are only possible at random times, during gameplay that are only ever hinted at through a cryptic set of clues hidden throughout the game.

Same shit, different coat of paint basically.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Americans have been trained to hate foreigners by Fox News, which is owned by a foreigner.English22·4 days agoBillionaires and reactionaries are the state. They are the ones who created it in order to control others for power and out of fear of what they don’t understand, respectively.
People need to abandon it and unite under our own social structures that aren’t built on the ruling class’ hierarchy of wealth and perceived status.

AoO requires a reaction. So only one is going to eat it but, meh, that’s why I have 13 of em.

Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Anime@ani.social•"Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill - Season 2" New Character VisualEnglish2·6 days agoLegitimately surprised to see this get another season. Thought this was just gonna be another one-n-done.
5e rules – you don’t end your turn when attacking and can move through allied squares. Iirc it counts as “difficult terrain” for movement distance or that could have just been a homebrew things
So step into square, attack, step out and end turn.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?English5·10 days agoJust finished Infernax
Amazing dark, medieval-fantasy, retro, action-platformer with some Metroidvania elements, very reminiscent of OG Castlevania, and some player choice elements that allow for multiple endings, of which there are 5: 2 basic good/evil, 2 completionist good/bad, and a “redemption” route. Even has old school secrets like special characters if you input the right name and cheat codes you can find. Putting in the Konami code at the title screen even has something special.
Default experience is a classic mode that is very unforgiving, must save at in-game stations (one at each town and every dungeon entrance) lose everything if you run out of lives and try again from the top or try to [exit the dungeon/make it back to town] to save your progress, no fast travel until you find the spell for it, all that jazz. Plus a casual mode that gives some leeway like pitfalls not being instant kills and a checkpoint in the dungeons you can save at.
Gameplay is just good old school gaming. You hit, you jump, you duck and hit low, you can find some utility spells, you talk to NPCs that have cryptic sometimes-useful-sometimes-not dialogue to figure out what to do next, all the bells and whistles.
Warning: it is very gore heavy and even though the artwork is more retro styled, it is still things like guts spilling out, faces getting crushed, limbs being ripped off, etc… So not for the squeamish.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Games@sh.itjust.works•Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.English3·12 days agoWhich is why the retailer, Steam, already restricts certain regions from buying titles if they are deemed illegal in that region.
Again, it is not the authority of the payment processors to dictate what people can and cannot purchase. Period. No excuses or justifications will be accepted.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Games@sh.itjust.works•Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.English6·12 days agoNone of that is relevant to the other comment’s point that these companies should not have that level of authority to dictate what we can or cannot purchase. If it is legal to purchase, then payment processors should not be allowed to deny the purchase. Period.
Of course they are. They are both prime examples of settler colonialism in action.
People forget that Israel started as a British colony
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Anime@ani.social•Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus • Seishun Buta Yarou wa Santa Claus no Yume wo Minai - Episode 2 discussionEnglish4·15 days agoIt’s kinda translation thing. It isn’t referring to puberty itself, more the mentality of someone who is pubescent.
The word it is being translated from, Chūnibyō, more accurately refers to a specific mentality which is a delusion of grandeur having hidden, supernatural powers that is common among teenagers.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Games@sh.itjust.works•Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4's soundtrack includes only 10 tracks from original games, as focus shifts to new musicEnglish3·19 days agoBruh wuuut? That song was the best song on the soundtrack.
Edit: oh shit, just saw it was 2 not 3.

Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Games@sh.itjust.works•'Knowing Steam players are hoarders explains why you give Valve that 30%,' analyst tells devs: 'You get access to a bunch of drunken sailors who spend money irresponsibly'English16·19 days agoMy steam library is full of humble bundles that I only bought for 2 games because it would be like $5, cheaper than buying regularly, and still getting like 7 other games with them.
And that’s even with me giving away keys from games I know I won’t ever play.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Anime@ani.social•Black Clover Season 2 Announced (Teaser Visual)English2·21 days agoIt was. Read my reply to the top comment for a bigger explanation.
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.netto Anime@ani.social•Black Clover Season 2 Announced (Teaser Visual)English4·21 days agoBlack Clover’s “seasons” are weird, as the show is set up to air every week without interruption. It technically has 3 seasons consisting of 51 episodes (52 in S3) with a 4th that is 16 episodes. Basically, a season per year since its release in Oct 2017 up till they went on hiatus in March 2021. Yet, it is all part of the first continuous (technically there was a production delay due to COVID that resulted in a break but that’s an exception) “season” before they went on hiatus after having caught up to the manga and not wanting to make the same mistakes as FMA by making filler and deviating too far from the plot.
And that’s not even getting into the fact each 51 episode season includes multiple story arcs of varying episode lengths.
So, yes, technically, depending on your definition of “season”, Black Clover S1 has around 170 episodes.
I completely forgot that doing all the bullshit for Reptile was just to fight him and get a 10 million score bonus for defeating him, not to actually play as him.
