    Wave being "I dunno, energy and stuff" is mildly disappointing, even if it is lampshaded in-universe. Guess I'll see what the arts are like.
    I feel like that's kind of a thing in games. What's void energy in Destiny? I dunno, it's grape flavor. What's wave in Crosscode? It's lime flavor.

    I really liked wave's arts. It's the weird bullshit element and it's got some solid weird bullshit.

    As someone who loves elemental attacks in games I was expecting the water element and some nice sound effects, but this is a very small quibble in the grand scheme of things.

    I am down for weird though, especially if it's different enough from the other arts.

    Crosscode is... surprisingly good. I'm at the point where I've stopped playing, because if I do any more, there won't be any more Crosscode left.

    yeah I want to see what the dlc is like

    and I really hope a crosscode 2 is in the works

    like given the foundation that they have, I think they could really nail a sequel that was largely based off the same engine/assets, just refining a lot of concepts and game flow

    Oh no I just had the conversation in Crosscode about dungeon naming

    Oh no I'm on Emile's side

    You could always play it again! There are NG+ options now, and one of them adds some fun dialogue changes.

    The developers seem pretty confident in their next game not being a Crosscode sequel or Crosscode related, but one that does keep the action rpg/puzzle elements.

    The new dialogue with the NG+ options are real good.

    Well this is starting to look like some of the best physics-driven animation I've ever seen in a game. Apparently this is due in large part to an update that takes into account all of the physical properties of the board including wheel size, the width and weight of trucks, board shape etc.

    that is a killer special edition, but $200 is a little too rich for my blood, especially since I've already played half of those and don't really have much interest in the other half

    (not that the price is at all unreasonable, but hard to justify in my case)

    Also after releasing more then a year ago with "local multiplayer" Terraria finally has split screen co-op on the Switch. Just a couple months to late for it to matter.

    Beat the Grand Temple boss in Crosscode, that fight was fuckin' awesome.

    Having a bunch of regenerating health seems crazy powerful, I was mainly eating to top myself off because I had the cooldowns to use.

  • cB557cB557 voOOP Registered User regular
    Been following the development of this game for a bit, probably should actually post about it.

    Dipped back into Slay The Spire and got my first Watcher victory, getting the Snecko eye as my replacement relic at the start was indeed amazing, Omniscience into Wish+ or Worship was ridiculous, I barely took damage during the boss fights.

    The beta art is so good, I love how goofy it is.

    Made it to Rhombus Square in Crosscode, that was a doozy.
    I'm still surprised how quickly fights can swing back from "Nuh uh, fuck this they killed me in like 3 hits in 30 seconds" to having their moveset on download and gripping the controller while making precise manoeuvres.

    I knew about the 'early access' joke already but har har nonetheless.

    I assume I'm nearing the end, it's definitely been a ride.

    I really hope that new company that formed from labzero's ashes does well

    a lot of extremely talented artists were doing extremely good work and I want nothing more than to see that continue

    I will say if you are thinking of picking this up, do not get the Switch version - it looks like absolute ass

    Whoopsie, wrong thread
    Caught this egregious example of Palladium's complete lack of editing or research or sanity checking last night while reading a Nightbane book.

    The is a sourcebook that covers the Astral plane. It has rules for permanently spending P.P.E. (i.e Mana points) to create your own astral domain, including classes that specialize in it. After you spend P.P.E., you get creation points that you use to buy size, entry methods, defenses, a working biosphere, etc.

    The size one apparently didn't get looked at.
    y27uvop5chk8.png
    9de7d4k79hxv.png

    100 Cubic feet is about the interior space of a midsize SUV. Assuming an 8' ceiling, you could have a 3 foot by 4 foot room, aka a closet. There is no world in which this qualifies as a "domain".

    So you spend a little to get the next size up, 300 cubic feet. A standard prison cell is about 400 cubic feet. Still very bad!

    The next size up is "1000 feet" (they dropped the cubic). Assuming they meant 1000 cubic feet, you now have a 10'x10' room with nice 10 foot ceilings. This is an "average" size domain.

    Spending just a bit more, you get bumped up to 1 cubic mile. Now, I guess CJ Carella figured he's been increasing by about 3x for each step, let's just round up 3000 feet to a mile. Well, a cubic mile is not 5280 cubic feet. A cubic mile is 147 billion cubic feet. Instead of a roughly 5-fold increase in space, you're getting a million-fold increase. Pretty good deal! A couple square miles of space, if you have a generous 1000 foot ceiling.

    However, I can do one better. They say "The same size can be purchased more than once to make the domain bigger." On its face, this is pretty worthless, because every step is equal to or less than double the cost of the previous step. I suppose you could purchase 100 cubic miles multiple times. But a true power player will notice that 100 cubic feet costs 0 creation points. So, I can purchase 100 cubic feet, I dunno, a trillion times? The size of my domain is actually unlimited.

    Edit: this was meant for the table top thread but it's still funny
