What Video games have you been playing?
How do you stay comfy during said activity?
I've been playing Killing Floor & Modded Fallout 4.
KF reminds me of my younger years listening to metal, jcore, nightcore, dubstep and playing for hours.
Fallout is just a time waster but it is fun to loot and hardcore can be good when modified.
I usually listen to wizard tier bloggers, ASMR , or my music playlist to keep me not asleep.

You guys like anything from E3 so far? I'm interested in the new Fromsoft game and dying light 2, The new fallout makes me feel bad, having that large of a map with single player in modding could have been great.

This is less a game, more an eroge / visual novel with no player options.
But I fucking loved this and am pissed off it will be 20 years before the others get translated.
I'm a sucker for zombie stories where similar losers like me get to experience cool things I could only dream of.
It's short around 8 - 10 hours max but it kept me interested.

I'm not too into video games but I'm thinking about buying one of these when they come out. I grew up with a N64 and never got to experience a lot of ps games that come with this system, namely Resident Evil, Grand Theft Auto and Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. Yeah, I know I can use emulators but the thing will probably be hackable and even if it's not I'm pretty content with the 20 games the system comes with.

You can tell Sony was doing everything possible to keep costs down. No dualshock, no ac adapter, only 20 games, etc. For me I still think the system is worth it but I can see why others would be put off.

Can definitely recommend this game, very intuitive and easy to get into despite its depth and complexity. Good taste.

>I've actually been thinking about giving some of the old roguelikes a spin
If you really want to go old school, the original Rogue (1983) still holds up in my opinion, and its playable right from your browser at https://classicreload.com/rogue.html without the need to fuck with >DOSBox (it also has many other DOS games).

Then there's also Brogue http://brogue.roguelikelike.com/ which is basically a simpler and prettier version of the original Rogue. Moria and Angband are also good too, to be honest. Roguelikes are just the best.

Roguelikes are truly a wizardly genre of vidya. I see you have recommended Rogue, Moria and Angband. These are classics worth playing but I wouldn't recommend them to a total beginner. I would say, for ASCII based games Nethack or Brogue would be a better start. There's also Sil which is one of the best renditions of Tolkien's work in any form ever. The gameplay is very thoughtful in that game and the ASCII is tasteful.

No idea why I stopped playing other games on my backlist to do so, but I started a new game of X3:AP, a game that I've put a large amount of time into already. I did the Terran start which puts you in position to get arguably the best player space truck in the game (pic rel) fairly early, but also has you needing to grind reputation in the godawful Terran economy of X3. Just need to get my new truck, break out of the warzone and into neutral space and I can start the real comfiness. Working the stock exchange in between trade runs in nice, safe and most importantly prosperous, neutral space.

[hand rubbing intensifies]

On the subject, X4 looks neat but I've heard it's a buggy mess. While that's part of playing an egosoft game, they also squandered what goodwill they had from me with X: Rebirth which was nothing short of a garbage fire. Might pick it up if I can get a nice discount on steam later in the year.

>>1428
Yeah, X3 isn't a game you play for its ship design. In fact, the universe as a whole is pretty uninspired. You definitely play the game because you like watching numbers go up a lot more than you do for any other reason, and that's what makes the Hayabusa a good player truck. It has good defences, decent speed and the best cargo*speed value in its class but is also very expensive compared to the competition. This makes it better at generating gross profit but not as good at net profit. So while on an individual level (player) it makes good revenue on spent time and money, on a large scale, it takes longer to pay itself off. That means you're better off using another race's trucks for your AI trade fleet because that is a business venture where you're looking for a net profit, so being able to repay the losses incurred in purchasing ships quickly and thus generate that net profit is more important than the gross profitability of individual trade vessels.

I half wish I went into business instead of history for my education. It's certainly still interesting but also opens up more doorways to a decent living.

Could anyone tell me if the 2DS XL is worth getting? I read that the system was on its last legs and I was wondering if it's worth getting before it gets discontinued. I would of got one years ago but the two screens put me off. Now I'm afraid that it may be the last dedicated handheld game system that's widely available.

I went to walmart to see the game selection and it looks like there are only a couple of Nintendo published games that are available new.

The thing that puts me off is the lack of games. I'm not into buying games used and the eShop's selection seems a bit slim. Maybe it's a better idea to wait for the switch mini to come out.

Have to agree there. I got it mostly because my ds broke. I did enjoy Mario 3d land and Luigi's mansion even the paper mario game, didn't expect much out of a handheld paper mario and it exceeded expectations in that sense. The soundtrack is pretty great.

I can't understand why Nintendo didn't include ds, gba and n64 games on the virtual console. Or why they're charging so much for old snes and game boy games.

When playing did you ever find the second screen to be distracting, or is that concern all in my head?

I think it makes sense to not have ds games on virtual console, since they don't have a second screen on most devices and the 3ds can play them anyways. It would have been nice to see on he wii U though. I just emulate n64 and gba games.
>When playing did you ever find the second screen to be distracting, or is that concern all in my head?
No. Actually if the game utilizes it well enough it makes you wish more games had the second screen. It can range from things like New Super Mario bros where the second screen is just used as a progress bar and to store an item, or Yoshi's Island ds where both screens can be used for gameplay. Sometimes it isn't used spectacularly, like in Bowser's Inside Story (still a good game and both screens are utilized better outside of battles where you switch between protags), but I find it rarely gets distracting.

>emulate n64 and gba games

I'd actually be willing to pay for the games on these systems just to get a solid control layout.

>I find it rarely gets distracting


Thanks, that was the major thing that bothered me about the system. I don't think the system will last any more than a year giving the lack of new releases so I'll probably look for a significant price drop on the system as the stores clear out their inventory.

If you get a wii U gamecube adapter you can use it on a computer. I believe there are knockoff ones but I can't imagine they're significantly cheaper.

>>1534
It's on there but it doesn't do anything if you don't do anything with it. Also you can turn it off. I don't think that it works the same way as a social media though, but I never used it. The most that happened is that someone would drive by my house while I had my 3ds on and it prompted me to use their Mariokart data for a game or something. It's pretty impersonal, and I don't think it effects enjoyment at all. If anything, it's an interesting diversion when someone's carrying their 3ds on them and you exchange Streetpass data without even talking, since it's so rare if you don't go out. But like I said I never went out of my way to use it so there may be some features that are more annoying.

Honestly, with me, something like this would make me want to throw my game system in the garbage. I just want a game system that lets me play games in isolation, not one that connects me with random normalfags against my will.

>interesting diversion


I don't get why those idiot japs at nintendo didn't give people the option of completely disabling streetpass and spotpass. Or even better, make all this social media bloatware downloadable for free from a nintendo website for the morons that want it.

This is exactly the kind of crap that sours me on modern electronics. It's like I have to spend at least 15 minuets going through a device disabling feedback and networking options in order to get some privacy from a device.

From my understanding you can't turn it off, you can only disable streetpass game by game. The things stays on until you disable wireless communication.

It seems like such a sketchy feature to me. That if you leave it on you'll unknowingly transfer game data back and forth to random strangers. At least with smartphones your data goes directly to google.
