games

^^ the annoying intellect devourer but this time I was able to beat it without getting stunlocked to death.

Anyone else getting this?

What games are you most looking forward to?

Take Two Interactive is shutting down the studio. RIP.

The amount of effort put into this game is staggering

Delete PSPs and Rebirths, real Atlus stank hours. This localisation kind of sucks, lol.

I have a bunch of ridiculously specific questions about Tactics Ogre My Beloved, that I cannot find on search engines (DDG and Searx) or in the LUCT faq/guide. I also looked at Warren Report and Coffee Potato on youtube, no dice. If you know about it pls tell me, or embarrass me by showing me links to the answers!

• Why do Ninjas suck so bad at magic? Three damage from a FireBurn on a fire-elemented Ninja to a wind-elemented Eagleman of the same level???

• Actually what's a good strat for Ninjas generally? They're so frail.

• What governs whether or not spells like Thunder or Acid are single-tile target or five-tile targeting? I have two Valkyries with Thunder, and one casts for five tiles, the other for one tile...

~~SOLVED: Area of Effect for spells in SFC/PSX/SS is governed by the Intelligence stat, apparently. Above 64 gives five tiles, above 128 gives 13, according to GameFAQs.~~ My earth-aligned Denim has 89 INT, yet while his Acid is five-tile, his Thunder is single tile. Fake.

• Is there a way to influence or change alignment, or is it just random and fixed?

• Does loyalty affect a unit's stats or anything?

• What even governs accuracy, just generally? Also is the RNG completely goofy?

• How do you turn off those fucking spell dialogues during training???

• Why is Canopus such a heroic chad who cannot be stopped and MVP every time???

THINGS I HAVE UNCOVERED BY WATCHING RANDOM VIDEOS:

• While stat increases are random on level, there is a Skill system that grants a unit "points" in that skill, i.e. Missile, Utility, Melee etc. Basically units get better at using attacks or spells or etc the more they use em. This may account for why my Ninjas and also Valkyries are trash

• If you walk back and forth over non-City locations you can get random battles. I want more Lizardmen so this is handy.

Also if anybody knows how to make PCSX derived emulators (PCSX-R, for example) load Tactics Ogre saves? The PlayStation version apparently fails to load saves from thirdparty memory cards that use compression, and Tactics Ogre on PCSX-ReArmed also fails to load saves it created. If you have any info on the PlayStation version's turbojank code, please hmu. I actually suspect that the game has poor coding overall, since the Super Famicom english translation is buggy despite being by a known group, and the PlayStation version seems hokey too. (hangs briefly during turns, aforementioned save issues, goofy text box formatting)

I lost my old 3x3 I whipped up about a year ago so I made a new one in gimp. I wanted to add sonic adventure to represent my love for dreamcast and tekken 3 for fighting games, my favorite fighting game (almost put mortal kombat 2 instead but I've played more T3 over it). Also decided to add games I always come back to like Castlevania SOTN, FF Tactics, D&D arcade, Diablo, and Resident Evil (Biohazard is the cooler name). And for games I recently discovered and am playing Ultima Online and Neverwinter Nights.

I know a bunch of people here like this map clicker. This seems to be the lowest price on it so far. They're trying to get people to buy it because DLC is coming out I guess. I tried it a bit on that free weekend several months ago and it seemed interesting enough. I do almost all my gaming on a steam deck now though so idk whether it's a good fit.

I didn't think my laptop would be able to handle it with the bells and whistles of shaders and whatnot but it does which is nice. And I found out that there's a tiefling head for humans which I used on my druid to make her half-human which is cool.

It's set in Berkshire and you blast the heads off tweed wearing toffs who's infection by las plagas doesn't change their behaviour at all cos they're already barbarians.

The final boss is the queens brain in a mech suit and then you nuke Eton.

This goofy ass form of Bowser fucking cracks me up. Stupid castle face
