August 2025 General Game Discussion

I went to the dungeon in Limgrave (Lengrave? whatever) that's right next to the tutorial. I went down the ladder and found myself in a pool of poison, then just "noped" right back out again. Instead, I finally finished off Stomveil's master (battle spoilers, obviously):

That was my first try on the guy and I barely got touched until the very end. He gave me the runes I could use to get level 40. I'm guessing I spent way more time in the first area than the boss was designed for.

And then there were.... the two fingers. Kinda hairy fingers. Was NOT expecting that!

Godrick took me a good few tries the first time, nice.

Did you go through the other side yet?

Did you go through the other side yet?

Yeah. I got to pick up some grapes for the nice lady, but otherwise it was strangely empty. It opened up into the next area, but I went around the side of the castle quite a while back, so I had already been there. (That's where I picked up the lightning spear thing.)

I never did get the 'snap fingers' thing to work to talk to that wolf guy. Oh well, I'm badly over-levelled as is.

Roblox wants to be the Windows equilevant of Children games. Its defense it is just makes the platform and others make the games on it... handy.... its not our fault what creators put on our platform... difference between them and MIcrosoft is the later doesn't make any profit off the applications written to use it (and you know, its not always online.

Sorry, that defence doesn't work when the main audience of your platform are children who don't always make rational decisions about their actions.

I am not the age group for this game, and most of the problem people in the game aren't either. That is the problem. There are no actual age restrictions. There is no verification of identity.

I avoided it because its not for me... seems others saw it as a smorgasbord. All you can eat... They misunderstand what game is for. Or do they?? Who is the actual customer here? What is being sold?

roblox response makes me wonder. They want problem to be hidden... stop talking about it, stop looking

Looks like it could be fun. I did enjoy Palworld for a while, but I thought it got a bit boring at the end (map being a bit barren, etc) so perhaps this game will be a bit better exploration wise.

The reveal of Liurnia of the Lakes coming out of the castle is pretty special, do you mean you hopped around in the corner on Torrent or something? I think that didnt used to intentional but you could kind of Skyrim jump around, maybe they patched it to work later.

Have you played Pal World recently? All I know is they've added a bunch of new content. I might reinstall it.

@Pifanjr I could have sworn I had Inscription. I even remembered to check Epic, but no luck. However, I did find this free game:

Morimens on Steam

Haven't tried it yet, but it has Very Positive user reviews. Apparently it is more like Slay the Spire than Inscription, but....free

I'm glad I waited a month or so before starting Dune Awakening. By the time I got there, everyone had either quit playing or moved to the Deep Desert. I've seen like 2 or 3 people the entire time I have been in Haggin Basin. I occasionally go to the Deep Desert, but Guido is back in school, so I'm officially just goofing around. Going to craft all the stuff we didn't prioritize before, work on the base, etc. I just got back from a mining run and got 2000 aluminum, 1800 basalt and 1200 fuel cells. I've made the base so big that those fuel cells will only last 2 days if I don't turn the equipment off.

Edit: Never mind. Somehow, conserving energy doesn't change when you are going to run out of energy.

No, there's a proper path! From the Stormshack save point, go under the huge bridge and keep following the road to where it becomes a ruined bridge. You can jump down from there, head to the castle wall, then follow it so you go around the east side of the castle. There are a few spawns of wolves and an ashes of war, so it's intentional.

You don't have to do anything special to go to out-of-bounds areas in Dune Awakening. You can just stand in my garage and fall through the map. But that's not as much fun as getting out of your ornithopter and watching it fall through the map.

If it's just you and you don't want to be where you are under the map, they have an "Unstuck" option that moves you to another location under the map. Don't worry, though, you'll soon die of thirst and go to one of your spawn points. No, that's not right. You'll go to the location of the trader in the starter area where you will have to go raiding to get money to pay a pilot to fly you back to the main area of the game (all the money you had stays under the map).
