Good-o!

I'm obviously missing something very obvious, but I dunno how to delete tiles.

note: other than by utilising the UNDO command, which isn't ideal. I just want to click and delete.

Post by **dng** » Sun Mar 06, 2022 10:03 pm

yeah i'm not sure how to do that either, so i replace them with a "blank" tile (from the world section of tiles - there's a blank empty square and a black solid square)

its fiddly and stupid really

Durrrrrrrrrrrrr! Of course! *slaps forehead* That does the trick! Ta Davuss!

It turns out I already owned this, due to it bring in that one million games for a fiver bundle on it h.io last year or whenever, without me actually realising it was in there

Anyway it was so lovely I don't actually mind having paid for it twice now

Post by **vom** » Tue Mar 08, 2022 3:36 pm

I bought another million games bundle TODAY as it happens, that also has A Short Hike in it

maybe I'll play it again on my laptop

but so far I've just been playing Hidden Folks while pretending to be working, which is like a Where's Wally kinda thing with nice isometric pictures to scroll around looking for little people. honestly it's barely even a game really but it sure does beat work

Post by **dng** » Tue Mar 08, 2022 3:39 pm

hooray! maybe i will also buy that then and once again not play any of them at all, as is traditional

Post by **vom** » Tue Mar 08, 2022 3:51 pm

I always make sure to download and briefly play exactly one of them, to "get my money's worth"

Post by **vom** » Tue Mar 08, 2022 3:54 pm

also I've played Wandersong, Figment and Minit already and they were all quite good

and other things probably I don't know there's 900 fucking games

Post by **vom** » Tue Mar 08, 2022 4:00 pm

well, probably about 300 games and then a load of things like "dungeon tileset 42" and "check it out I made a basic gravity engine and then gave up"

Agatha Christie's Marple Madness.

Miss Marple has been transformed into a tweed textured marble that travels across an isometric landscape, solving murders.

I've almost made a game on that playdate thing now. contains essentially no actual interactive elements at all (beyond moving around to different rooms, talking to screaming monsters)

Gravid · Post by **Gravid** » Tue Mar 08, 2022 9:55 pm

That sounds perfect

Post by **dng** » Tue Mar 08, 2022 10:57 pm

hooray

Top stuff! Can I/we have a butchers at it when it's ready?

Post by **dng** » Wed Mar 09, 2022 9:47 am

Yes. Although I'm out today so maybe tomorrow

Post by **dng** » Fri Mar 11, 2022 7:54 pm

Today I have been playing hollow knight and it is lovely

Post by **vom** » Fri Mar 11, 2022 9:45 pm

it is!

I think I managed to get to about 106% complete on it which is clearly ridiculous but also confirms that it was a game I enjoyed very much indeed

Post by **dng** » Fri Mar 11, 2022 11:56 pm

i got stuck on those bouncing mushroom things and had to look up how to use them, but other than that i've not been irritated once. which is nice

I enjoyed Hidden Folks immensely. I like the little mans saying "Hullo" in their little gibberish language.

I'm still playing God Of War

I wish Kratos would just kiss the enemies occasionally, he looks like he wants to

I've finished it now. I only got 74% though so presumably still have lots and lots to do

Post by **dng** » Mon Mar 14, 2022 6:45 pm

If I can be bothered

Post by **dng** » Mon Mar 14, 2022 6:45 pm

I really liked it though. Best metroid since super metroid, easily

Post by **vom** » Mon Mar 14, 2022 7:37 pm

I can't remember what % I was at when I finished it. I kept playing it for quite a while after finishing it though which is pretty rare and confirms that I also Really Liked It!

There's a sequel out soon-ish I think

Post by **dng** » Mon Mar 14, 2022 8:17 pm

The version I've got is the "voidheart" edition, which i presume has extra dlc stuff in it (the coliseum and the hard versions of the bosses maybe? i don't actually know)

anyway maybe that is the extra percentages over 100% that you gained

Post by **dng** » Mon Mar 14, 2022 8:34 pm

excellent

Post by **vom** » Mon Mar 14, 2022 9:38 pm

yeah the extra percentages are from the DLC

I didn't do all the extra stuff, it gets pretty crazy

My wife talked me into talking her into talking me into a PISS5 and now I cannot stop playing Elden Ring.

15 hours. 0% complete.

Help.

I think I've done all I'm ever going to now. I just got all the caterpillars, and the only obvious thing left to do (apart from ghost bosses) is some quest where I have to cross the entire map without being hit, which I'm never going to manage, and will probably only serve to make me hate the game a bit.

Post by **vom** » Wed Mar 16, 2022 8:27 pm

I did that and it wasn't actually that bad! I think it only took mea couple of tries

I did all the ghost bosses as well I think

I don't think I ever managed the hardest part of the coliseum... and then there's also a sort of "boss rush" mode you can unlock somewhere and I didn't get very far with that

Post by **dng** » Wed Mar 16, 2022 8:53 pm

Yeah I can't do that final coliseum level other. But then I am absolutely rubbish at fighting, and have never actually worked out how to use the special sword techniques in combat at all

That looks astonishing. I would definitely play that.

Also my favourite bit of Brass Eye is when the Archbishop Of Canterbury says "I completely lost my faith in Jesus when he shoved the sun up his arse"
