Various video game stuff not deserving its own thread

You'll get use to it after several fights.

I wish it was a little faster, walking everywhere sucks lol. One game I wish was turn based is FTL.

There's a turn speed option you should max out in the options (it'll still be too slow)

Fuck, I remember seeing that idk why I didn’t max it out.

Try CheatEngine. It has a speed-up feature that you can assign to a key. Doesn't work for all games.

Total Warhammer 3, in a recent update, added the first normal human woman warrior. All other female characters so far have (to my knowledge) had some special reason to explain why they could keep up with men on the battefield. They were vampires, or wizards, or blessed by the dark gods, or empowered by spirits, or they were elves, or asian, or undead.

This one is simply 'this woman is a total badass in full plate armor who is the equal of any man, so there!'

Interesting to note is the history of the addition:
People complained that the paid DLC that (eventually) added her had too little content when it was released, so the devs allegedly took a look at some modder's OC waifu and said 'eh, why not?'.
So she wasn't even created in-house. Miss Gurl Power was originally part of a mod made by some rando modder and was then added to the game proper by harried devs desperately looking for post-release content to add to a piece of underperforming DLC.

At least that's the story as far as I understand it. I can find no traces of her in the lore before this, and they included a shoutout to the modder in the patch notes.

(Repanse de Lyonesse may or may not have been blessed by the Lady of the Lake, so she doesn't count)

for she is easily the physical equal of any man and

Someone should make a mod that removes the abomination.

Please add my new warhammer character next, I think he is very cool and would fit right in

I have a feeling that this would be popular even without anime art. Too many coombrains have been damaged by all the incest porn out there

@Metalhead33 Can you write an RPGHQ review on this one for us?

Looks close to 'ideal' for me.
Using a texture upscale pack, but, still…

They don't make 'em like they used to. There's very little innovation these days. From games to cars to just about everything really. Stagnation.

I beat Fallout 2. That final boss was way overhyped. Appear to have gotten some sort of bug or did something wrong because the ending slides also acted like I killed the talking deathclaws.

Much of good video game design was just happenstance or caused by hardware limitations, not intentional choices. Remasters, remakes, and later titles created by a developer are typically worse because the developer attempts to fix 'mistakes' or no longer has said limitations, not due to outside pressure or publisher meddling.

Serendipity
1. The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident.

There should be a word for willingness to learn from fortunate accidents.

Obviously this isn't exclusive to video games, it's all over the film industry.

This is why I support censorship. This degenerate shit shouldn't exist.

E-sports were a mistake. Here's your anti-cheat measure bro:

I like when enemy factions actually fight each other in video games.

[rusty_shackleford]

Soulsborne games are just turn-based games for the zoomer generation.
Enemy takes their turn, then you take your turn, repeat.

Yeah that's standard regardless of what you do. Also canon (Chris Avellone hates talking deathclaws like you wouldn't believe although the reason he gave for it a couple of years ago was cringe-worthy).
