    #neoscavenger

    Speaking of which, the guy who made Neo Scavenger is coming out with a new title this year, which will basically be a sci-fi ship crew management game set in the same universe.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDUn08QFhNs

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/1022980/Ostranauts/
    Ostranauts is a detailed simulation of owning and living aboard a spaceship, in a solar system where honest living is a slow death sentence. Set in the NEO Scavenger universe, where Earth has suffered cataclysmic collapse, the rest of the System lives on in a state of capitalistic dystopia.

    Players will create their captain, build or customize their starting ship from the spoils of their career history, and find ways to keep their motley crew in line, fuel in their tanks, food on their plates, and the debt collectors at bay.

    Metro Exodus reminds me a lot of the Stalker games of yore, mostly Call of Pripyat (though much more polished/more forgiving). More combat and/or stealth based, too, but you have outposts but also your own station of sorts, places to research and modify and clean guns. Lots of monster/bandit clashes depending on time of day. I usually spend nighttime somewhere safe taking care of some crafting or using it to assault a hideout that'll be hiding a lot of sleeping guards. You can choose how you want to deal with people, too (take prisoner/kill everyone/forgive/let them go) and these are mostly just organic choices so far, not something like eating a kid's sweet roll for good or bad boy points.

    Playing Gemcraft.

    419 achievements. Not surprising considering this was a Kongregate game that I loved.

    Now if only Mud and Blood 2 would somehow get a steam release.

    edit:

    I dipped back into Magic Carpet, finally had a new interesting level. Mile high cliffs I could not ascend, and rivers/bays/lakes filled with .....checks manual.....Kraken, with frost death rays.

    Hi folks! So since it's a three-day weekend for most of us here in Freedom Land, I figured this would be a good day to fulfill my Steam Thread Winter Charity Drive promise.

    So, from about 5:30pm (CDT) until the same time on Monday, I'll be livestreaming ETS2.

    Can Sotally Tober Trucking survive another 24-hour shift? Or will Vinny The Shark finally take my kneecaps after one too many short-term loans overdraw my bank account?

    Is there a better way to kill sharks in AssOdd?

    Last night I ended up wasting heaps of arrows while perched from my ship. Trying to find them was annoying enough, but when I stop the ship they always seem to be just out of range

    Backlog Challenge 2019
    Since we reached the donation goal back in, uh....december. I'm going to be running another Backlog Challenge. If you're not sure what it is, Read about the last one.

    The rules are still the same: 3 randomly distributed teams. Submit a steam-shot of the credits/end screen (you can add it as a non-steam game, if necessary). It has to be a game you haven't made significant (like more than 10-20%) progress in before. Both people can get credit for co-op games, but I need to double check what the rules were for that. There will be chances to get extra points for side objectives, so make sure to keep extra saves if you want to grab them. This year, I'll also be adding in some extra points if you make a (substantive) review in the thread after finishing a game, so look forward to that.

    For now, sign up here:
    https://goo.gl/forms/GF5CbkUqG08SBgGd2

    And @ or PM me if you have any questions
    Screw you @CorriganX , I still got this out before the day was over
    It's also @CorriganX's birthday a week from now

    Try using a weapon with reach, like a spear. It's still not great, usually requiring multiple trips to the surface to get oxygen and heal, but at least you can chip away at them like that.

    I've found you can hit most of them while treading on the surface of the water. Anything out of range should then be far enough away that you can avoid them if you're careful.

    I've also heard there is a legendary weapon that gives you water breathing that should make those fights a bit easier.

    There’s actually a spear perfect for it.
    Poseidons Trident, on a little island on the far east of the map, which is basically just a huge statue of Poseidon. It’s in the chest. It grants infinite breath.

    Been playing through Moonlighter, and I think this game brings out the worst video game anxieties in me, because you're choosing between selling items or keeping them for yourself so you can fight better in the dungeons to get more stuff (that you can sell or keep, rinse, repeat, etc.)

    And if you choose to sell items, you could potentially sell them at a loss, because you only find out what is considered "market value" after you sell one and a customer reacts in 1 of 4 ways: gold eyes for complete steal of a bargain, a smile for a good price, a grimace for a not so great price they may still be willing to pay, and a sad face for a price that is too high. But you don't know what the right prices are until you set it and sell it to somebody. And that's before we get to the supply/demand economy, where too much of one item can flood the market and lower its popularity, meaning even the regular smile price won't be good enough for a bit.

    Also there are Animal Crossing style shop/house upgrades, where you can make your shop bigger and eventually hire help, but also a bigger store invites different types of customers into the shop, including thieves you have to catch and rich people who will buy luxury goods as long as you have them out.

    I'm running into the same issue I had with Cook, Serve, Delicious, where I just keep selling small, cheap, easy to get items because the expensive stuff is harder to deal with.

    So I can see how this game might be super grindy, because new gear (that makes you stronger in the dungeons) cost materials and money, but you make money by selling materials, and it's all very hectic. Basically if you have the video game hoarder problem of "But I might need it later", you might have some of the same issues I'm having. It's fun to see some numbers go up, though.

    Also in AssOdd, what you'll want to do is unlock the lock on arrows. Then stop your rowboat over the shark infested waters and start locking onto sharks and shooting them with your arrows. It's not ideal but it's better than dealing with the sharks while IN the water, which I did exactly once before dying a horrible death and swearing it off forever.
