Let's discuss non-electronic gaming. Would prefer it not just bog down in chess and go with nothing else, but we'll see. I know we had at least one German here who played the Dark Eye.

Useful links:
https://www.drivethrurpg.com/

Decent place to pick up .pdf files legally. Also some print on demand. Surprisingly, it's also pretty easy to sift out the average to bad stuff that exists on it.

https://thetrove.net/

Great resource. Doesn't have everything, but has most relevant things with some notable exceptions, like GURPS 4e. Mostly exists because those that actually have the power to enforce C&Ds recognise the usefulness of having the first sample free, and the rest either don't care or are out of business or the files are out of date editions .

Some discussion starters:

>What are you playing?

Recently finished a Schlieffen Plan scenario in The Guns of August as the German Empire which I lost. Had the game continued I think I could have salvaged it but such is life with short scenarios, they're all or nothing. Next time I think I will add a couple of the optional rules to enforce a historical opening, such as forced French attacking in the first few turns to represent their offensive doctrine. Without it, you just get the Somme from day one which is vastly in the favour of the Entente.

>What are you running?

Only one game at the moment, which is a pretty nice indie game I got off drivethrurpg called Dark Stars. Percentile cyberpunk in space with splashes of space opera. Rules aren't really written for a newcomer but it's all there. Just tends to be sparse and use a bit of assumed knowledge. I'm basically ripping off the metaplot of Far Cry 2, but nobody has picked up on it yet :-DDD

>What are you working on?

A few projects, most of which are currently on hold because I'm creatively bankrupt right now. Mostly in the process of reading more rulesets in my quest to put together my 16-18th Century Kazakh Khanate system together. I've been working in the opposite direction to how I have been previously and making a little progress. Been delving into the OSR more, and while I don't think I'm going to go the OGL route for various reasons, I am finding that taking a step back and stripping down a system to its core is yielding better results than trying to simulate a lot of different modules individually while keeping them feeling meshed. Though I am considering looking through Pendragon again and trying to convert their system into maintaining one's camp instead of holding.

So then, having finished up that last session in a way that ties up the story of Kurt and Hubert in a fairly satisfying manner, selling a cybernuke for a ticket out of the Block. Next time we will be doing something new.

This means two things. First up, if anybody else wants in on the game, 0600Z on Saturdays is our timeslot. You're welcome to join in. https://discord.gg/ZGmpJe9

Secondly is deciding what we want to do next. I could continue running Bodycount in one of two ways. The first would me more of the kinds of adventures we just had, and the second would be a different setting using the same system. I've been toying with the idea of Cyberpunk Soviet Moscow based on a discussion I had with Brick a little while ago.

If you're not really feeling the system that we're using, I'm happy to run another one, but I think we've got a feel for this one and jerking around systems too often can be annoying. I'm guilty of it in real life, but I'm trying to cut back a bit and run more connected games instead of one or two one-shots in a new system every time.

I'm fine continuing with the current system and Cyberpunk Soviet sounds
interesting enough to me.

btw, you two would have loved the exhibition of Moebius, sadly I was not able
to take pictures. Particularly the things you don't see often, like the
abstract pieces that were meant to capture the basic means of shape recognition
without giving the satisfaction of resolving into anything recognizable.
Moebius himself was delighted to find people at galleries try to deny that
these were authentic works by him because they did not match any expectations
peope had of him. I'm thinking about visiting the exhibition again, actually.

Yeah, it depends on how we're feeling as to what setting we go for. I think that more can be done with Block 47 than what we have done, and we could theoretically even transplant it to other places within the Dark Stars setting, there are Free Martian Cities for example that are not under corporate/UN control, and there are other planets too with varying degrees of appropriateness for the system. When the Dark Stars shit comes through from kickstarter, I plan on running that system though, it's a more thorough d100 version of the same setting with higher lethality.

I might need a week to make things for the new setting if we go the soviet route though because I have more shifts than normal this week, so won't have time to knock it out before Saturday.

Ebin art too. Already giving me some ideas for weird golgotha rooms to pretzel my group's brains with :-DDD

Since we're on that topic already, do you sometimes have a short exchange with someone (esp. a girl) and something feels slightly off about it, and you keep pondering about it then suddenly realise what it was? Well, that just happened to me.
The coworker girl I have a crush on passed me by today and asked whether I've seen the play that was performing, I said I didn't. She said something along the lines of "You should totally see it sometime, it's really good" And that's where I fucked up and just mumbled something about "Yeah, maybe..." instead of playfully asking whether she'd like to see it with me. It was such an easy set-up that would've allowed her to either agree to it or cop out without feeling weird, and I was just too slow-witted to grasp the opportunity.
Makes one think about all the opportunities that one doesn't even realize one missed, not sure whether to laugh or cry.

I've just released the indie game that I've been working on for the last months in early access mode on Steam. Please consider playing it and let me know about feedback for the final release (planned in spring).

The game is about a college student who gradually alienates from the social scene and ends up becoming consumed by his thoughts. His behavior becomes more and more erratic and in the end there is a climax.

I can't stand and hate the fact to no end that "visual novel" has become nothing but a byword for weeb shit and more hentai anime trash. That shovelware was clogging my goddamn screen so much it was the one and only thing that actually forced me to figure out a way to filter my recommendeds and such. To this day -anime is my one omitted tag, in addition to -nudity, because for some fucking reason a lot of anime trash still was getting around that filter. Since blocking -nudity from my results too I have been unharrassed by such spam.

God anime is such garbage. I simply cannot believe how much of it is polluting steam.

I am particularly annoyed by this just because "visual novel" basically describes a broad array of games that I actually like. For instance Planescape Torment and Tides of Numenera can both much more easily be called a visual novel than anything else--and no, I don't mean "comic book" bullshit either I mean a game that is actually much more like an interactive book than anything else. The main problem is if it's a good book, which in many cases it is not. P:T and T:ToN are both technically crpgs but really they're so far gone to that direction that I would basically describe them as visual novels, thus, I am constantly fucking angry whenever I see shit thrown around like "VN" because weeb garbage has basically tainted the tag to being nothing but hentai waifu shit.

I think we could use a thread for community events besides Radio Ernstiwan, but in the same spirit.

On that subject, tomorrow at 12pm noon Pacific Time (9pm in Central Europe), I will set up a room in cytube so that we can view documentaries and have serious discussions about them. All suggestions for quality documentaries on Youtube and Vimeo are appreciated, but if possible I encourage you to find a documentary relating to your home country, region, or city. For now we're stuck with hosted videos, but once we figure out a scheme for streaming from hard drive, we'll move over to that.

Ideally, this will be a weekly thing. If Saturdays at 12:00 Pacific/21:00 Central Europe don't work for you, tell us what time does work, so that we can schedule a better time next week.

Currently on Saturday's playlist:
A quaint piece of 1960s Americana, in the form of a charmingly optimistic documentary about my hometown in particular, and the problem of urban sprawl in general. Might be followed up by Fresno: The City Addicted to Crystal Meth.

If the list runs out, I know a few channels with a lot of really good content that we'll never exhaust.

So, cytu.be lets you stream videos stored in Google Drive, although you have to install Greasemonkey and a user script...

Feels a little sketchy, but if you guys are alright with it, this would let us watch whatever we want. Would be great for serious movie/documentary nights.

Hello. Let me introduce me. I used to post on Krautchan, as the bunny chilean bernd. Since it demise a few months ago i decided it was a good time to take some time to do more productive things in my shitty life. Things are going smoother now, so i guess, since i have more time, i could go back and start posting again in some imageboard. After looking wide and long on the new colonies of good'ol KC, i have decided to settle here, for a while. I wish this place was a little more active, since there threads alive from June on the front page, and this place gives me the vibes more than a light version of Northpole than KC.
Since i dont want to waste a thread on a presentation, this is my third bunny. I got it from an old lady who captured her, and gave it to me because she didnt had any space to take care of it. Shes wild, so i had big trouble taking her out of her cave that day.

Exorbitantly so. Not just in terms of maintenance and equipment and all that as well as being typically much more difficult to care for than cold or freshwater, but the fish themselves easily run into the hundreds of dollars for the smallest setup and the typical marine fish is easily like $40. In fact I'd say that $40 is pretty standard from what I've seen at a LFS with the absolute cheapest marine fish tending towards $20 a piece, and with the more expensive ones quite easily running up into $70 or $120 for even just one specimen.

Oh wow some of these are actually pretty cheap apparently
https://www.liveaquaria.com/category/871/marine-fish-sale?c=747+871

That yellow tang alone is close to a $50 fish.
A piece.
Now look at how many of those he had and you do the math. Iirc I saw a blue spot fish and a few parrot fish and so on, and the Tangs are probably the cheaper ones he's got.

Here's another list to give you an idea
https://www.azgardens.com/product-category/saltwater-marine/
Keep in mind, these are just fish. Although it didn't look like a nice enough vibrant reef tank all of that stuff in there that looked like seaweed and rocks? Yeah that was probably also a collection of corals. Coral is absolutely not cheap. Coral is unbelievably fucking expensive at retail. One tiny little polyp is going to cost you quite a lot of money.

Oh holy Jesus yeah I just looked at the clip again and yes he does indeed have lots and lots of different corals and anemones. There is easily ten thousand dollars worth of coral alone in there.
https://www.azgardens.com/product-category/saltwater-marine/coral/

I don't know if because he lives in Israel it's cheaper or he has closer to native fish but I guarantee that tank is an absolute minimum $50,000 and I highly doubt it was anywhere near that cheap. His electric bill alone must be pretty intense. If he's doing all that himself without hiring helpers (which judging by what he said, is also true right down to designing the thing) then that is an absolutely fantastic amount of weapons grade autism he's sunk into that hobby and is probably like an almost full time job dealing with it himself so I'd have to imagine he's retired.

Dang dude, I just binge watched like six or seven of your videos. That's some pretty good stuff, like a series of EC longposts in video form.
And I don't think your old stuff is bad, the only problems are technical ones like audio quality and stuff.

Ye, I only now got actually decent micro.

Some of that I actually first post as EC posts here in some form. Thank you!

>six or seven of your videos

Wonder what videos are those, but I'm really happy you liked what I do. I hope in future I'll get better and better, since I have a lot of things to say.

New king's bounty.
Looks pretty bad, tbh. I really loved the cartoony art style of the original remake. It makes me even more paranoid about artists being replaced or obsoleted in modern game development, and game content being more and more reliant on photo reference instead.

Shame, because I was kinda looking forward to it, with my rekindled interest in turn based strategy games

I mostly watched TES and Fallout related videos, as well as the thesis on what differentiates RPGs from action RPGs. I've had similar thoughts, but more on gameplay structure of games being fundamentally divided into graph traversal vs spatial orientation, and genres being defined by the proportion in which they are represented.
Text adventure games being on one end of the spectrum, and arcade FPS games in the other. One is comprised entirely of branching logical paths, the other is a space simulation where you have to traverse a simulated space and align a bunch of vectors together to win.
