Been playing Songs of Syx a lot lately and got a kick out of this. I conquered a nearby territory and took some war captives as slaves. Among the captives was a race called Amevias-- semi-aquatic, ferocious lizardman race that hates everyone, loves enslaving people, and has to live near water, which was already making my Iksar sense tingle.

Anyway I brought some home as slaves and put a few to work fishing on their own little island. Lo and behold: one of them named Nathsar- the dev is an EQ player :)

Pretty cool game though, it's like Rimworld/Dwarf Fortress where you can zoom out of your settlement and build an empire. A bit more spreadsheet-y with the economics management, you start with a handful of guys and grow your city from 10 to 100 to 1,000, to 10,000+

My city of about 2,000

forgot about that game, glad the Kickstarter succeeded. 99% sure that's where the Nathsar came from, an everquest player that backed it, naming shit was one of the backer tiers

It's Final Fantasy, but instead of it just being a fantasy world, its a single player rpg of you playing a character, playing a mmorpg. it was just a cartoon then they made it into a video game

Have you checked out Erenshor demo on Steam? Its a new single player MMO sim coming out later this year that took a lot of inspiration from classic MMOs, quite a few EQ easter eggs as well. The party control features and AI were pretty cool.

followed, thx.

i'm a big fan of the concept in general because it's so hard to actually tell a story in a mmorpg that isn't like this completely separate activity of you just reading whatever lore the writers came up with and enjoying it while basically zero actual players caring about it in game, so Simplayers are appealing over the raiding meta in most mmorpgs to me

edit: yeah this is pretty legit.

That looks intresting neno.

Wow... a single player AI mmo??

That is certanlly a new genera, and that's awesome.

I mean basically it's like final fantasy, but the NPCs also run around killing monsters and say more than:

yeah people always take it to the extreme, i saw a lot of it in Eve Online, was usually PVE shit, people mining asteroid belts with 50, 75 accounts

then a guy started boxing a army of stealth bombers during one of the wars, i remember our fleet commanders being terrified of being caught by this dude, cause you'd never live it down, losing your whole fleet of 100 nerds to one asshole playing like 30 accounts.


pipebombing was the best thing invented there, imagine doing like Chardok AOE but instead of sarnaks, it's pvp in a space game.

these dudes were real good at it

It's *heavily* based on EverQuest. I played here on P1999 briefly, also played on Shards of Dalaya pretty heavily.

Your game looks great, i was saying "Fuck yeah" before even getting to the end of the dock you spawn at because of the NPCs shouting WTB messages. Grats you got a winner, should sell like fucking hot cakes cause it addresses a serious need of people wanting to play old school eq but no longer having the time to devout to it anymore

yeah he posted a update on steam today, i usually find games way too early or way too late. i'm more hyped about this game than anything else atm

i wanna pipe the NPC text through a LLM with character persona files, so they respond to everything you say.

they are already pretty charming though

I'm glad you're enjoying it! It's going to hit Early Access here in the near future. That launch will *roughly* the size of Antonica in EverQuest with less cities. There's a pretty spoiler free zone list here: https://erenshor.wiki.gg/wiki/Zones

[Lune]

Are the simulated players powered by LLM's in some way or are they just botty bots?

[shovelquest]

I am curious too because I gave one of them a high powered item out of guilt or worry that I'd get a bad reputation.

[ludovician]

Are the simulated players powered by LLM's in some way or are they just botty bots?

Bottybots. They're more there to give the illusion of an MMO instead of be your new online best e-pal.

Plus, LLMs cost tokens, which cost money, which I'd have to pass on to the users and even though it's a simulated MMORPG I think a monthly subscription to cover LLMs would be taking the "simulated" experience too far.

Plus Plus LLMs say wild stuff sometimes, and Steam holds developers accountable for what their LLMs say.

I wrote a text parser and literally thousands of canned responses to certain contexts. Think of it like playing madden - you'll see some stuff repeated if you play enough, but overall it has minimal effect on your gameplay. This way I can guarantee a family safe game. Some testers have expressed excitement that this is an "MMO" that their children can play. I didn't expect that demographic but I'm happy I can cater to that.

Regarding giving them a high powered item if they ask for it - yeah, they remember that stuff. If you treat them good, they'll invite you to stuff when you log in next time.

[shovelquest]

Sparky wispers, "LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!"

[Ekco]

yeah definitely not worth it for you to be running it as a service, more a LocalLLaMA Mistral 7B or whatever the current go to roleplaying model is. not sure what the hardware specs of game + local model running at the same time would be but these things are just gonna get insanely better

or do the work in between play sessions, npcs keep track of what you say and how you treat them and you just let that shit churn overnight updating memories and a faction score of some kind

having the NPCs start off in a blank state with each other and overtime breaking off into two factions based on random interactions forming the two main raiding guilds would be so fucking cool also.

player gets a Paragon choice also, by picking which npc guild to join

[ludovician]

I'm doing a bit of that now. Group wipes hurt your standing with your group, giving them loot increases it; as does earning xp. I'm not really leveraging those values much yet but when guild stuff comes into the game it'll be hard.

Ekco, I always like having "EQ eyes" on the game. If you enjoy the demo hit me up and I'll get you a beta key to the rest of the game. There's 100ish hours of content to check out now.

Revealed in a press email today is Cast n Chill from developer Wombat Brawler. A game where you explore serene lakes, rivers, and oceans. Catch rare fish, upgrade your gear and reel in legendary catches - with your loyal pup by your side.

I don't play too many games like this, as idle games aren't usually my cup, but some of them are genuinely great to kill some time with. Cast n Chill caught my attention with the really lovely artwork plus it has both active and idle modes so you can do as much or as little as you want to chill with it.

if this is as chill as it claims to be and with that pixel art. i'm down.

Kind of. After you get out of the prologue you're in a very large area and as the plot advances you progress into another large area. The first area is an open world countryside like Skyrim and the second I have heard is a city like baldurs gate 3.

It is an open world RPG with lovingly handcrafted main plot and side quests, but you have to feed, house, and wash yourself. If you run around covered in blood and shit, in tattered clothes, people will treat you like a filthy peasant.

Think I had that moment, home from college for the summer back in 2007. Dad comes into my room and I'm playing Carry on My Wayward Son on Guitar Hero alone in my room after my ditch-digging job. He looks at the scene, with a look on his face like, 'that's not even a real guitar, it's like your baby sister's fischer price', pulls a Randy Marsh and goes and gets his acoustic guitar, comes in, says 'Kansas is fag music', and starts playing Led Zeppelin.

Little did he know, summer of 2007, at an undergraduate university campus in the Los Angeles area that was 55% asian, was a completely unique and fleeting point in time and space where being awesome at guitar hero was relevant. I once had a girl walk into my dorm room while I was playing counterstrike, come up behind my chair, put her chin on the top of my head and rest her tits on my shoulders while watching me play. I just kept playing counterstrike; thought to myself "gee, she sure is open with her body". It was a confusing time for young Lune. I later went on to win my wife in a scrabble game. I'm therefore confident I've touched more tits from gaming than my dad ever did from guitar. Boomers will never understand.

No fantasy elements at all. It's a medieval sim basically. The dev's goal was to recreate life as it was in their native Bohemia around 1400.

Have not played #2 yet but loved part 1. Part 2 picks up right where the main plot of #1 ended. Might consider buying part 1 cheap first to see if you like it. I got it for $8 last summer during the Steam sale. From what I have read, #2 is more of the same but better.

I did a search and I was surprised to see that no one had mentioned Vampire Survivors (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1794680/Vampire_Survivors/) yet.

https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1794680/header.jpg?t=1730983128

The game is sort of like a cross between Bard swarm kiting and an 80's arcade game (except with graphics that weren't possible in the 80's). It's only $5 (on sale for $4 ATM), and the reviews on Steam are "Overwhelmingly Positive". Oh, and you play the entire game with just the d-pad.

It sounds so simple that it wouldn't be fun, but I've played 58 hours already and I'm not bored yet. If you want to turn your brain off and just run around killing endlessly (maybe while waiting for something in EQ to spawn), Vampire Survivors is definitely worth checking out.

Your wife - the Blue Knight Lucia did not return home from her journey to slay an ancient evil. Odd beings wreck havoc on the lands nearby. A rumor of a crypt unearthing is spread.

Blue Wyrm is a first-person skill-based action game, where you take upon a role of the Red Knight Gabriel, armed only with her trusty sword to fight off a tight, but varied roster of enemies in a nonsensical surreal dungeon. Learn the ways to use your movement and position, directional attack variety and timing to perfect your battle technique and succeed in your quest to save her.

I was already in "fuck Hasbro" mode pretty much since they acquired WotC (although to be fair, I wasn't a fan of WotC right before they got acquired either). But then their mishandling of D&D 4E and D&D Next both pushed me away further.

Still, I'm a big gaming nerd, so I tried not to write them off completely ... until the 3rd-party MtG expansions came out.

Sci-fi nonsense like Dr. Who and Transformers have absolutely no business being a part of a game that's been exclusively fantasy for three decades (and is literally called "Magic").

Trying this out a second time toniht, first night it was... ok.. idk I only played the demo.

[shovelquest]

It's fun, it's a little slow and quiet... but I think that's because it's ambitious for an indi game. It's got great graphics, and cool character/world design.

Skeletons to fight, goblins. All my fetishes.

It's like an escape from tarcov kind of game...

1. you drop into a world that has a timer on it.
2. you collect loot and fight creatures and gain exp and skills that is permanent.
3. you head to an extraction point, and wait there for like 30 seconds to teleport out of the level with your loot.
4. pvp other players when you encounter them

It's got a huge world map, and I think as you progress with exp, youll go to zones with higher level creatures and players.

It's early access, but I think it has loads of potential!

[Duik]

That sounds pretty sweet.
Instanced zone but with people you dont know. Part way through the video but it seems great so far.

Is it worth teaming up to defeat more mobs or do you get good points for PvP?
Imma watch more of the video...

Omg if i watched for 2 more minutes.

yeah you can get away with just grinding through enemies and theya re pretty simple but challanging. And then trying to get out, even if you die you get your EXP but.. ive learned you drop items on death.. idk if ou can get them back, I tried to find my old corpse when I went back and it wasnt there.. which I thought was lame.

I was coming to share how cool the inventory looks, this is not mine haha mine is like bone dust and linnen scraps.

I used to sink hours into MTG Arena, but the shuffler algorithm frustrated me, too. It always felt like I was getting mana-flooded or completely bricked too often. I remember reading all those debates and statistical analyses people did about it wild times. Eventually, I just moved on to other games because I didn't have the patience for it.

I mostly play CS2 casually these days, and whenever I need extra cash, I sell cs2 skins via Skinsmonkey (https://skinsmonkey.com/sell-cs-skins). It's been a reliable way to offload unwanted skins without dealing with all the usual marketplace headaches.

I was only half listening to this while driving to work, and at first I’m thinking oh God not another free speech absolutist narrator wanting to argue the right to spam “KILL YOURSELF CUNT” 50 times in a row or something

But this Valorant dev I coulda swore actually said they were going to be policing these various categories of speech including, and this is crazy, speech that is derogatory towards another player’s performance. I coulda swore that was one of the categories. Maybe I mis-heard, I dunno

Personally, I do kinda feel that with a mute feature that takes literally one second, that devs are moving too aggressively towards policing speech. If you have a problem, just put them on ignore? The issue can’t be the effort required, because it only takes a second, so is the issue that you have to read a few insults before you are able to take a 1 second break from the gameplay to put someone on ignore/mute?

But either way, I don’t even play this modern shit. Or the old shit. Or any games, so what do I really care

Lol listening to it again to check I got to the part where she says something like “people should not be told unhelpful things like ‘grow a thicker skin’ when they are THREATENED”

I’m thinking what??? That’s not saying it’s right or good to be threatened, but to grow a thicker skin is not unhelpful. You absolutely should try to grow a thicker skin, if for nothing else than to have a more clear mind to protect oneself if the threat were credible or against future threats. As opposed to what? Grow a weaker skin? Stay the exact same?

Don’t ever suggest resiliency. Or for them to get better at the game because they’re bad. Because their brains just can’t handle it

I bought the ps vr 2 thing when it was on sale last christmas, I would really like to get some kinda melee weapons fighting game for ps5.

I wish KCD2 would be in VR that'd be rad.

My folks had an Oculus Rift VR when it first came out. I played around with it when I house sit for them

Never bothered with their Pedophile-Haven chat rooms. Only game I liked (loved actually) was Beatsaber

I can never get immersed in an RPG when you are confined to standing in a phone booth sized circle the entire time. VR was pretty cool for seeing IRL places, like I could hop all around Machu Piccu by clicking various parts and then teleporting there and looking around

Uh I Hate to be a sticker but Parasite Eve is a Resident Evil game, not a Jrpg :(

Great game though!

[Ekco]

the combat makes it a JRPG, it's the same Active Time Bar (ATB) concept as FF7 and the other ones that have that, they just went one step further with adding running around the triggered random encounter to dodge attacks.

[shovelquest]

I like where youre coming from but iiiiidk, Id say this is RPG that was made in japan.

But im not the authority.

My memory was it was more like Res Evil than this video is making me feel though so maybe my memory is all fucked up.

i no lifed Hero's Journey this weekend and it was really good. These guys are top noctch everquest fans and they really modernized eq and made it something totally different, but feels the same.

It's way more like Wow-verquest. Like, you just run into a dungeon and engage lots of mobs and spam attacks and just blow shit up. But it's all EQ mechanics, so it just feels like you're playing something familiar, but just like god mode.

The cool thing about it is even though it feels like god mode it's still challenging, and so grinding is really fun. I got to 30, and wanted to experience lots of classic content, so switched to AA's and grinded 150 of them this weekend, learning how the class worked and just getting AA's that would make what I was naturally doing better.

I Made a Barbarian ROG/SK/SHM - and it turns out that was a great idea becuase holy smokes this guy can cook.

With life Taps, HP & AC I can pretty much square off like you could imagine a SK Torp Shaman would but DPS'ing while you do it.

It's a lot of fun, and feels like if eq was some modern AAA game that everyone loved. It's casual, and easy but really challenging too. Very different but familiar.

[Knuckle]

Two player champions of norrath pretty fun. my friend is running a SK and I'm running a wizard, simply because I know I would never play the wizard in a solo run. So far the wizard sucks absolute dick compared to ranger/sk/warrior but I am hoping that level 15+ spells make up for it as the AOEs kick in. Additionally, I am somehow half a level behind his SK in exp. even when we experimented with me running ahead killing mobs solo. I went in blind but maybe I need to meta game this shit =p

[shovelquest]

I soloed Naggy And Vox 42 on HJ.

I tried at 30 and died.

Now I go to settle some scores in VP!

HJ is like Paths of Exile + EQ.

You can kill the sleeper on HJ.

It's a cooool game.

It's extremely easy to setup too.

If I am Microsoft, I make a sleeker version of Windows for gamers, cut all the bullshit they've been adding since basically windows XP. Actually yeah, just make a modernized 64-bit windows XP, throw a name on it, and keep it supported.

I think you just overestimate how much people prioritize tinkering with an OS in their daily lives... Most people just don't give a shit. Plenty of intelligent people who don't allocate their daily life ticking to such things.

[Ekco]

you can put most desktop environments infront of people and they already know how to use it, old people fucking love mint when it's installed for them

https://linuxiac.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/cinnamon6-desktop-environment.jpg

getting people to actually install the shit themselves is a whole other thing, i thought the AI always on copilot shit would get people to switch but if my bluesky linux feed is any indication it's mostly just people complaining about windows and apple and being not to receptive to the suggestion of switching to Linux.

[Duik]

I think you just overestimate how much people prioritize tinkering with an OS in their daily lives... Most people just don't give a shit. Plenty of intelligent people who don't allocate their daily life ticking to such things.

I think people like you underestimate how much fuckery goes on behind the scenes in some OSs.

Again, i dont begrudge anyone using other OSs, but i do dislike it when someone comes into a forum i frequent and complains about win this or apple that (in the linux/bsd section) etc and goes on to ignore a well formed alternative with many offers of help from other community members. So continue to use windows if you must. Heck i use it still myself because "reasons". Everything else is either LMDE or MXLinux.

New Fedora looks interesting, if i can scrape up some dosh for a good vid card for a lappy i may be able to drop win10 altogether.

Alternatives are not requirements. It is offered. Free, it may however cost you some time initially to learn a new paradigm or two. You needed to do this initially when you first got dos or windows 3.11. People are not born with innate knowledge.

If you dont wanna. Dont do it.
Linux distros dont care.
Just dont complain and ignore alternatives.

So I was doomscrolling FB on a slow day here at work, and came across this MTG post

I was like what is so interesting about some random red spell. It doesn’t seem funny, or OP. Then I remembered there was a Final Fantasy set coming

Then I noticed the artwork, and connected the dots. Looks like MTG did an homage to one of the original video game memes that Sabin in FF3 could use his unique blitz abilities to suplex the ghost train

Bravo, wizards of the coast

Not to glaze too much, but when people talk about Tyler1 they usually cite the fact he got the highest LoL rank (challenger, like top 0.2%) with every single role (top, mid, jungle, bottom). If I recall doing it with top or one of those took like 5,000+ games or some crazy shit

Or else they talk about how he picked up chess and quickly got grandmaster elo like 1400 or something

But no one mentions that the dude can also max squat 6 goddamn plates once, and do multiple reps of 5 plates. That is fucking bonkers, even on PED’s. There’s gyms where no one in the gym can do that

Helping to prove that short guys aren’t entirely useless ;)

Spoiler alert: you might, I couldn’t

waste of time, being good at chess is a disability/nostalgia thing like baseball, the manual transmission..etc

4x strategy computer games have been a thing for like 40 years now, peaking with Eve Online.

Magnus is good at chess, i'd be way more impressed if he could lead a fleet or a empire in Eve though

where the board pieces are other human beings, leadership skills are needed, and the pieces and board size is orders of magnitude bigger and more complex.
