In Chinese literature there's a canonical Four Great Novels (Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dream of the Red Chamber, Romance of the Three Kingdoms).
It turns out they've also made up the idea of Four Great Western Novels, a concept none of us were aware of

@TalelZeiri @Dishsoaptft The game is actually incredibly hard to balance, everything is so interconnected that second order effects are super hard to predict.
English
@Dishsoaptft It’s really not that hard to balance the game though , I’m pretty sure most high elo players would do a better job balancing the game than the current balance team lol
English
Preface this with me saying I don’t really like the set.
But saying this is one of the worst patches of all time balance wise is just a crazy take to me.
Lowkey gives me hope for TFT future. If we can forget how bad balance used to be we can forget how boring this set was too.

-Kayle boon -Augment balance -Viktor -Timebreaker -Waves comeback -No unconditional 4 cost lines -Broken emblems -Anima -Minimal player agency There isn't one broken comp but this patch is competing against some of the worst tft patches

@nucalrunner @PiggyKropotkinn The thing that is good in melee range excels when fights devolve into blind melees inside bubble shields
English
@PiggyKropotkinn the knife is more the solution to the utility spam i think, solve utility spam and knife becomes much less of a problem
English
Most people arguing against this have not seen the Cryo bubble spam + smoke fights
Piggy@PiggyKropotkinn
Anyone that thinks the knife shouldn’t be nerfed in Marathon is a moron

@catmanmanson @nise_yoshimi I think only perimeter to me feels meh. Dire marsh and outpost i really like the specific terrain and compound layouts. Fairly sure perimeter is intentionally "simpler" as well though.
English
@nise_yoshimi My only complaint is that for the art design to be this good, the actual design of the environments like where buildings are placed and how the rest of the terrain is laid out needs to also be good and I think that needs some work
English
Marathon is interesting to me because its clearly doing something in the minor level of friction in the gameplay experience designed to support the brutal, hollow maximalism of its setting, and thats not a lot of friction, but it's enough to see an Intent. Also sexy robots

@Deadite98 @Sykko_xo @PaulTassi Tarkov wasnt even on steam for most of its life, the steam charts for it a very misleading.
English
@Sykko_xo @PaulTassi 140,000, on steam, people gave it a shot. The initial hours were so rough that many people shut it off and never gave it another thought. Tarkov has peaked at 47,000. Extraction shooters are very niche. Don't blame some forced hate narrative.

@HowlyW81746 @TwltrTroglodyte @MegaCrit You do just eventually stop having to read most of the cards, you just kind of start short cutting to common patterns like the vulnerable card always first then whatever damage or block block block etc
English
@TwltrTroglodyte @MegaCrit Thank you for taking the time, I wishlisted Vampire Crawlers. Another user told me that over time the player gets familiar with the cards. Maybe the game will get easier after few runs. 2 runs is not enough, silly me
English
um. what did we just wake up to
Mega Crit ⚔️ Slay the Spire 2 Out Now!@MegaCrit
Slay the Spire 2's concurrent Steam players just hit 179,456, the highest ever for any roguelike. When StS1 first launched back in 2017, it had 193 concurrent players. That's a 92,982% increase, meaning StS3 is on track to hit 166,861,777 concurrent players by 2035. 💪
English
@BurstfireJones @Bucky_cm It's is THE card based rogue like, the one every other one wants to be.
English
@Bucky_cm its a card based roguelike, who the fuck is excited for that shit
English
I’m genuinely surprised by how many people on Twitter seem to be surprised that Slay the Spire 2 is dominating the Steam charts.
This was never up for discussion.
It was written in the stars.
Slay the Spire is an all time masterpiece.
The gamers have been activated.

@LunatheHyena @BarleyTheBurr It's not always false scarcity. For stuff like smoked meat where there is a long turn around and low shelf life for peak quality, it's the only realistic way to operate and not potentially eat a bunch of wasted food cost.
English
@BarleyTheBurr It also just doesn't make sense from a business perspective, if you didn't stock enough and you sell out, that's money out the door 🤷♀️It's 100% false scarcity
English
Sorry if this is a hot take, but as someone who loves trying new restaurants…
Restaurants that do “open until we sell out” are never getting my business.
English
@witchy1_witch_ @peshak_ak You really just need to know how to play a close range and a long range dps. Some of them have too unique of a play style to keep them all at the same level of skill for ranked.
English
@peshak_ak I played 1 game placement as dps (never done placement on dps) and predicted to be gold.. not gonna finish placement till i know every dps now so i can go any hero any time in my placement games

@frankiep423 I swear I feel like I'm insane this honestly looks more doable than aiming on Ashe/Cassidy am I just backwards

All this for the Ashe standing backline to click M1 twice

@MrMockRock The game was supposed to be to fighting games what league was to Dota on launch. Not league players first fighting game.
English
This was never a game for me (not a tag fighter or LoL fan), but it always seemed bizarrely complicated for a game that was supposed to be League players' first fighting game, no?
Also between it and Multiversus I'm not sold whatsoever on the team format for fighting games 🫤

Last weekend I quizzed my wife on why she likes the games she likes and then spent 3 hours hunting down titles I thought would appeal to her given those answers
Its blowing my mind there are entire beloved subgenres of games I've never heard of
She's delighted, I recommend this

@dokibird You can just kill people with movement and aim for a bit while you learn moba strategy and macro.
English
How hard is it to learn deadlock? The moba part rly turned me off when the beta first came out since I’ve never played league or any moba games before. I might try it again since the sleepybird is cute and the game looks so different now compared to the last time I played

Aonishiki, the 21yo who fled the war in Ukraine 3yrs ago, continues his meteoric rise by winning the January tournament in a day 15 playoff (only necessary if a tie at top of standings); his 2nd-straight yusho on his quest to be the first European-born yokozuna.

@pipkinpippa You don't want reality TV producers, you want live radio show producers. Reality TV has the benefit of time to edit, which is similar to YouTube videos. Live streaming doesn't get to edit in the moment tho, like any live talk show.

i want to kidnap a producer from television and shove them in my basement and make them give me streaming advice

@peligrietzer @yaoi_pyrholidon It goes in the beyond sentence level imo, well worth it.
English
We've been through this: on a sentence-level the games with good writing are Disco Elysium, Portal, and Sunless Sea, and on a beyond-sentence level you can add the Japanese auteurs
lad@timeforlad
video game writing is, on the whole, *tremendously* bad.
