    My partner has shared her steam library with me. I have shared mine with them. We are both online. We cannot see each other's libraries. What are we doing wrong?

    I have had the new layout fuck this up occasionally, to fix it I had to have my brother, whose account I share, log in on my PC, then switch back to my own account to get them to show up again

    Same deal on his PC, I had to log in again on there

    Maybe they're sneaking booze at the bottling works?

    Maybe! My government is actually promoting temperance which makes factory output higher because people aren't drinking on the job, but makes them more militant

    Luckily no one has invented Socialism yet

    What is weird to me are those 100k+ stacks of Anarcho-Liberals which sometimes rise up, who are these people

    I had that happen with my minecraft account. It's been two months since I logged a support ticket with Mojang to reset my account. When I logged the ticket in September their website said they were working on support tickets from July.

    It's totally awesome.

    Someone compromised my League of Legends account and played on it for almost a year and spent $25. I only played LoL for one day after I got it back (I didn't even realize it had been compromised when i was trying to log in for the first time in years), but I still feel good about it because he was a Yasou main. Also he's probably happier if he stopped playing LoL.

    SAO is an anime about MMOs so if anything that's still not nearly as edgelordy as it actually could be.

    I finished afterparty

    That is a hell of a game

    The turn it takes toward the end is wild and I did not expect to be emotionally fucked up by that game

    Really really good

    Look I really want to turn this entire thread into talking about Afterparty or make an entire thread about Afterparty but I have to tell this story instead.

    Me and three friends just bought Rainbow 6 Siege because it's on sale. So we jump in and do the tutorials and a few missions against bots before our fourth friend joins in. This guy has bought whatever edition gives you a bunch of the new characters. We decide to do a proper multiplayer match. The very first thing he does is shoot the hostage and get a 30 minute ban.

    So in Destiny 2... do they just kind of spring your character actually having a voice on you or is it a gradual thing I missed because I lack the Forsaken DLC?

    Because that was a weird moment.

    Destiny is weird because it comes and goes between expansions.

    It happened in the D1 base game, and maybe once or twice in Taken King? But after that they were silent until Forsaken.

    Honestly after this long and this many missteps I’m starting to question if Bungie forgot how to tell a story? Like literally just forgot, some sort of gas was pumped into their offices that destroyed only the storytelling portions of the human brain

    and screw getting the highscores necessary for completion in the Sega arcade games. That's not going to happen

    Those things were the biggest hurdle to my 100% completion too. Space Harrier and Super Hang-On weren't too bad, but I've never been any good at Outrun, and that Fantasy Zone requirement is a complete bastard.

    They're all pretty good I thought.

    But I then I think Unlimited Saga is one of the most amazing games ever made, the systems going on there are incredible if you can manage to figure them out.

    See...Unlimited Saga is the worst god damned game ever that actually functions.

    I mean it's pretty, and it's sound track is really really good. (the violins in the main battle theme? Great song)

    It's an awful video game. I've given it so many attempts, but nope.

    Question on Aging:

    As someone that owned the first game way back when, but never actually got far into it, how has the Myst series aged? I love point and click adventures and first-person variations of them (like Return to Zork, 7th Guest), but are the puzzles still fun/approachable? They are on sale on GOG and I know I shouldn't buy them, but the email notification tells me I should.

    I played Myst a couple of years ago. It actually works pretty well. It is a game that you want to play with a notebook next to you, so you can sketch things and make notes as you go. The puzzles weren't as obtuse as I remembered from when it first came out. I have been meaning to play the other games in the series, but haven't gotten around to them yet.

    Nope. I didn't like the soundtrack or the graphics but that gameplay is solid as fuck. It is just ridiculously dense and 99 out of 100 will people will bounce right off it and rightfully so. But if you can find a youtube channel where one of the folks who deciphered it plays it and explains it.... it's freaking amazeballs.

    The only Myst puzzle that still pissed me off as an adult was the piano one. I feel like it was designed by someone with near-perfect pitch who didn't realize that most people don't have that.

    The rest of the puzzles were fine. I remembered the solutions to some of them, but I also got to puzzle out some that I had to use a guide for when I was a kid, which was a neat feeling.

    The graphics held up way better than I'd expected, although the UI is real clunky.

    I wish there were more Myst-likes, Obduction and Quern came out in freakin 2016 and I haven't come across any other ones. Anyone have recommendations?

  • Options
    BroloBrolo Broseidon Lord of the BroceanRegistered User regular
    yeah Obduction was pretty solid!

    You could also try The Witness, depending on how you feel about line puzzles and Jon Blow

  • Options
    DeansDeans Registered User regular
    Witness is real good, I was thinking it isn't really Myst-like since the puzzles are more gamey and it's not really about exploring and deciphering unfamiliar cultures/technology, but I guess it's close enough. I just found a game called Haven Moon on Steam that I'm gonna try out.

    yeah trying to get the real myst-like flavor is hard, like Talos Principle is also kinda in the same vein as Witness, but it's not quite the same thing as Myst

    Not exactly the same but the Rooms series are sort of similar as well. They're mobile games but I really liked them all (haven't quite finished the last one).

    There's a lot else going on, but I think Outer Wilds has a bit of Myst in it.
