Ohhhh, didn't know Release That Witch is completed, nice! Just checked and I left at chapter 1329/1498, so ~170 chapters left, yay. I agree, it is extremely, extremely good.booknerdhug
I paused I shall seal the heavens at the arc where he is at the Desert Tribe after he raised those Wolves. Didn't get to his other novels yet.
Will check out monarch of Evernight and Misty Rain
Release that Witch is currently my favorite chinese Webnovel and I am at chapter 800. Heard it recently finished. (It also drops HARD on the Webnovel ladder, it was around tenth place for the last year and dropped to 16/17 the last week.
I am also nearly finished with Warlock of the Magus world, featuring a protagonist that has dubious morals.
For western novels I can recommend:
Worm, the webnovel with the biggest and most active fanbase (it has the most fanfiction works of every non-commercial novel and is probably in the top 10% of fanfiction works of all novels), it is 1.7 million words long, has a complete Audio-Book, several youtube analysis series, and the sequel is currently being written.
it is a Superpowers fictional work and our heroine tries to be a hero but becomes a Villain. It is very grimdark and people are not safe.
Mother of Learning, work in Progress (800k words) about a teenage (15) Mage-in-training who goes to his third year at the magical University.
This is not Harry Potter, the cool thing about this novel is: It is Groundhog day for a whole month! He relives the first month of his school year because at the end of the month the City is attacked and he gets struck by a spell, and he isn't alone in the loop.
And I am dropping the Website of "Fel" in here he has 2 massive Series (one the Taerin Kel Saga, (Fantasy) and the Subjugation Universe, which is SciFi. Those novels are massive.
There is also a cool DND self-insert Story about a human with DND knowledge being born into an Orc Tribe: In my times of Trouble which plays some years before the times of trouble and is getting to that date year after year.
Man, there are sooo much self-inserts ^^ One has just to find the good ones.
And I really like this scene, which is even better with context, but it should be interesting without as well (spoilerd because it's a bit longer):With a boom, the stream water was jolted several hundred zhang into the air and then fell back down like rain. The cliffs of the mountain path and the grass fiercely shook, with muffled booms ringing out nonstop. The yellow, lantern-like persimmons on the trees fell one by one. Whether ripe or unripe, they all fell to the ground and were pulped into paste. Just like the corpses and flesh by the stream bank.
I am at a point where normal 40k to 100k word novels don't interest me anymore unless they are part of a Series. I continuously read novels that are 500k to several million words long (currently reading the ongoing webnovel "the wandering Inn" who is shy of 4 million words). When I browse sites like fanfiction, webnovel or fictionpress, I don't even read the blurbs if they are lower than 200k words.
That's interesting. Page count is apparent, but judging a book by its word count seems very niche. Even as an avid reader, thicker novels intimidate me (looking at you Dostoyevsky, Pynchon) - but that's a more page count issue. I always hope "Boy, I hope I don't get a craving to start a new novel halfway through." Happens to me all the time with games as well, especially since my favorite genre is RPGs. Nevertheless, good writing and storytelling can be had no matter the length of a book.
You must read digital though - eh?
Don't like the art too much but the actual gameplay looks really promising in a Jet Set Radio style none of the other wannabes seem to get. Check the youtube channel for much nicer raw gameplay footage than the trailer which I don't find that great personally.
What exactly is there to download? It is a clickable link for me >.>
I did the same thing with Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I bought the edition with the season pass at launch, and haven't gone back since I finished the main stories.I was pissing and moaning about the lack of good third-person single players games (or first-person, for all that it matters). And booted up Arkham Knight just to goof around and realized I had done NONE of the season pass content I had purchased on day one. I had just shelved the game once I 100%-ed it.
I'm willing to bet that there's quite a few people in here who've done the same!
tell that to JaseC and his 5000 copies of Pat & Mat![]()
I'm still in inner conflict on whether to get the Monthly for StS or not.I've played a bunch of Slay the Spire since getting the Humble key, and I have to say... I don't think it's the best deck building adventure roguelike I've played, and I've played 2I played Neoverse first, and put more hours into it, but I've got some kind of handle on both games and have only a few unlocks left in StS yet.
StS leans way more into the RNG side of roguelikes, I think, way too much for my taste for that kind of game. The smaller mana pool combined with more limited access to relics (and way more RNG in regards to what relics you get) overall really make it feel like you have limited decision making power. Neoverse uses a skill "grid" instead of relics, and you earn / buy skill points to unlock the skills you want (the selection of which is RNG but you can see all of them) and the edge ones are the most powerful and require unlocking the line of related skills to get them, but even the most powerful skills don't really define the decks, they just enhance or shore up weaknesses. You can also shop in between each encounter and refresh the shop (for gold), upgrading and removing cards is still encounter-based. There's also special things you can do in combat to try and gain an extra advantage, like precision kills and parries, which StS doesn't have.
So, StS is fine, and fun, and well designed, but it's a roguelike first and deck builder second to me. Neoverse is a deck builder first, roguelike second. Neoverse looks like a waifu clone at first blush but it's just the 3 classes that are waifus, the rest of the art and setting is some weird sci-fi / fantasy hybrid thingy that I like well enough. I know StS has the custom mode which a lot of people say is more fun than the main part, but I believe you need to do the main part to unlock things? Regardless, I'll give it a shot at some point.
You jest, but when society collapses and they're the only accepted legal tender, I'll be rich!
I uploaded the installation file on my google driveAnyone have the GOG Galaxy 2 install file? Can't find my email with it.

That is correct, since it checks which emails were approved for the beta (even if those emails are not associated with a GOG account)If I'm not approved for GOG 2.0, I take it I can't use the launcher?
Indeed, you would have to reinstall the normal launcher.If I'm not approved for GOG 2.0, I take it I can't use the launcher?

More adventures in Metro Exodus.
I spent over an hour in a slave ship trying to stealth through it. Each time I restarted a quick save due to being spotted the game would reload with all the lights turned on, despite the fuse box showing that I turned it off, which was real fun when I happened to save where a light was. After fighting through that BS and a couple more crashes I made it to a door and it was one of those forced fight sequences, against a tank-type enemy too who would 2 shot me before I could even find cover half the time.
I came real close to giving up on the game after all that. There's just too much BS attached to this game. Not to mention it doesn't tell you anything despite having so many hidden objectives and morality moments. Didn't know you're not allowed to kill slaves who sometimes mix in with regular enemies and shoot at you (and there's no easy way to tell who's who) because doing so affects a big moment? Too bad for you. There's a lot of things like that in the 2 open world maps I've been to and unless you use some kind of guide the requirements are almost impossible to fulfill on your own, because you have no idea what to do.
Would you say it's interesting to play XCOM Enemy Unkown without Enemy Within ? I mean do the DLC makes the game different enough to make it a different enough experience or should I just install the full enchilada ?
I played XCOM years ago and it never clicked, but I'm a huge fan of the original. Still interested in playing the second one so I might as well try another run.

I'd like to give a shout out to Wish Project
The art is pretty bad, the story is nonsensical, but gameplay-wise it's actually a really nice shmup in the Touhou style. And unlike actual Touhou games, it has coop! That's pretty much the reason I got it yesterday.
What's noteworthy is that the "normal" mode in this is significantly easier than in most stylistically similar games, primarily because you get a regenerating 1-hit shield, which makes the game much more forgiving of occasional stupid mistakes. In fact, we 1CC'ed it on normal on our first try yesterday and we're not particularly great at shmups. Of course, "Hard" is much harder, and there's another difficulty beyond that.
There's a nice selection of characters with distinct mechanics, and the level and boss patterns are diverse and well designed.
Anyway, at 2€, if any of this sounds appealing to you you really can't do too much wrong.

It's $30 here vs $35 in US. Still terrible pricing, although a little less terrible than before. I guess they won't be selling much in Latin America, and they would deserve to lose those sales.![]()
Steam :: Indivisible :: Pre-Order Discount & Regional Pricing Changes
Hey everyone, We received a lot of feedback on regional pricing for the game following yesterday’s pre-order. The main complaint was that prices in some regions were much higher than expected. After an exhaustive review, we’ve significantly lowered the price across multiple regions. These...steamcommunity.com
Playing Arkham Knight after completing Origins.
Such a good looking detailed game. Its my favourite Batman game i think. Runs very well now. Loads to do. I love gliding around the city stumbling upon things to do.
Im Batman.

Unlike the XCOM 2 DLC (War of the Chosen) which is absolutely essential to the game because it massively improves it, Enemy Within provides more stuff but nothing that is an absolute must have. To be honest I prefer the original version of the first XCOM.

I played some Dangitgranpa and it was nice.
Certainly really stylish and the weird minigame-ness of the trial is interestingly weird. I flunked the first Bullet Time Battle tho because I didn't understand the instructions immediately. That was a bit annoying.
It also took it's sweet time to "get going"It's stylish tho.
Also gave Guilty Gear Xrd a spin and I immediately got reminded how much I suck at fighting games.I'm not even done with the tutorials and already have trouble, lol. I can't for the live of me pull of those "Z-moves" reliably.
But the game looks awesome.
