Baby It's Kobold Outside

Once again I find myself unsure if this is made up or there's really a co-op kobold sex game on Steam. It would not surprise me at all.

[up]It's real, and it really is a co-op kobold sex game.

Because a significant percentage of the tech industry is comprised of furries, and at least a small percent of those are scalies.

The game's kinda fun
...I've been told that the game is silly, ridiculous fun, if you want something lewd and decidedly un-serious.
Or so I'm told...
By people.
Real people.
That totally exist.
That aren't me.

The punchline is that they aren't joking. It's an actual game on Steam.

[up]Hey, nobody's judging here.

Except me. I'm totally judging.

I assume that any reference to sex has been banned from Wo W, then?

Well, if you go into the general chat channels and start asking people where the orgy is, you'll get reported and booted rather quickly. I don't think there's a secret Night Elf sex den that the developers play in, but who knows?

The naked guy worshiping a skull is a delicious embellishment to the message of this strip.

The question remains, did the snow insanity make him start worshiping a skull naked, or did the snow insanity KEEP him worshiping a skull naked despite the cold? Maybe he was already a naked skull cultist.

The Rant tells a tale of Tycho's commute home being four hours long because apparently, when the first flake of snow falls, all Seattle residents think it's the start of the apocalypse and start driving like they're auditioning for the next Mad Max reboot.

Coloradans have a similar problem but from the opposite direction.

We get buried under several feet of snow, and we're just like, "Gentlemen: START THE PLOWS." We don't give a fuck. We've got this shit on lock. We're not intimidated by a little ice and snow!

But. Like. Maybe we could stand to be more intimidated by a little ice and snow. On frozen days, business keeps moving, people get to where they're going, the plows do good work, etc. But the roads find a new, more exciting way to be dangerous: Assholes in large vehicles going 90 MPH down ice-slicked roads.

On a frozen day, drive down any major highway and you'll see no shortage of 4WD vehicles in ditches, courtesy of people who think 4WD is magical anti-slip technology that renders your vehicle completely invulnerable to all possible weather effects.

I live in the Netherlands, and it is generally warm enough in winter that it doesn't snow often, and when it does, it isn't much (usually measured in inches), but while the reaction isn't as extreme, it doesn't take much snow and ice to bring the rail network to its knees. Meanwhile, Scandinavians and the Swiss are laughing at a mere foot of snow...

Strip for 1/02/2023: Nod of Bore Dragsnarok

Man, if it's not an over-reliance on quick time events, it's long-ass badly paced unskippable cutscenes.

And at least the quick-time events were, well, quick.

Ah yes, level scaling so that even the common town guard is giving you shit right after beating up a dragon or whatever. Fun... right?

Reminds me of that joke animal boss in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. You land on an island where you have to slay an alpha animal, but there's only a bunch of chickens. So you figure, okay, slay these chickens and be on your way. But the alpha chicken is ripped, and will put up quite a fight.

Those chickens in Odyssey are pretty aggro in general. Nothing like walking onto a farm and suddenly being swarmed by a bunch of angry chickens for no reason.

Conveniente.

I haven't played Diablo IV yet, but I've played other always online games with the ability to pause. What's their justification for not having that feature even in single-player?

Redmess Redmess from Netherlands Since: Feb, 2014

#1192: Jun 9th 2023 at 7:25:28 AM

Maybe it's one of those single player games that has synched content from other players? I know Assassins Creed did that with some of their later games, where you get loot or pictures from other players sometimes.

I can't say I've ever seen the point in that. I don't know any of these people, so it may as well be procedurally generated by the game.

Well, except for the screenshots, those were a pretty fun idea.

That's an explanation for the always online function, to prevent cheating on the player market (I know the player market of Diablo II was infamously screwed up due to item duplication), but I don't see how that justifies the lack of a pause.

So apparently Unity is going to start charging a fee. The boys aren't impressed.

I have no idea how Unity was making money before. But don't countless people already have Unity for free? I mean, they already downloaded it and they have full access to it? Isn't charging a fee just encouraging the people who already have it to share it around?
