"Stop kicking that Visual Novel developer in the stomach." "Okay." -Valve, as of literally hours ago.

[@artisticleo]

"House flipper is the sort of thing we'll all be playing for escapism in a few years, after society collapses" Did you even know how appropriate this joke would be by the year 2020?

[@benjaminpiper904]

Literally was looking for this joke !

[@jaguh9069]

Yahtzee predicted the future again.

[@user-nk8ft3nn8z]

True.

[@aswallace88]

As someone who regularly plays Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 nowadays, I have to say that joke has aged incredibly well.

[@SplotchTheCatThing]

When I played house flipper I always used to complete the job to 100% And then proceed to barricade all the doors and windows with brick walls so that the owners can't get into the freakin' house when they get home.

[@AzureToroto]

Proceeds to walk through the door, only to be stopped by a brick wall. I look at the wall up and down, then say "This house is... Perfect! It meets all of my criteria, an enclosed house with no windows." Offers 750,000 for the house.

[@POTATOEMPN]

Just wanted you to know that Meth is actually the best way to clear a house of a Cockroach infestation. They flat out refuse to live in a house with meth being made or even Meth in the house

[@pifilixxiv3192]

seriously ? Sounds useful

[@GaiaDblade]

And you know this, how?

[@cpi3267]

He knows this by fucking traps and smoking meth in a crack house

[@cpi3267]

I guess, but I was just trying to make that POTATOEMPN angry so he could explain how he knows that

[@Denji2006]

Roaches don't like certain smells like ammonia and whatever other chemicals that comprise meth. You don't have to do meth to know this. It's not a mystery. It's just not a practical compromise to have the smell of ammonia throughout your home.

[@StarfishAtLarge]

The part that surprised me most was Yahtzee acknowledging the Steam visual novel freakout.

[@Bird_Dog00]

What was that anyway? I heard they were giving them the boot, then I heard they weren't...

[@thatguythisguy4247]

Bird_Dog what ive heard is they gave an ultimatum, make the indecent scenes decent or else you get the boot. Meanwhile witcher has tits, breasts and more boobs galore

[@Bird_Dog00]

No boobies allowed, eh? So, splattering the blood of 5000 bodies all accross the map is a-ok, but showing something even babies are allready intimately familiar with (literaly) is bad...

[@brendanrisney2449]

Sounds like American media to me; what's everyone complaining about?

[@thatguythisguy4247]

Bird_Dog its like the hot coffee fuss, moral arguements over petty things. The group that pushed valve to do it have stated they plan to tackle witcher but that series has way to much money in it to change

[@EndOfSmallSanctuary97]

yungdotbe And then Obama kept going further and further left and the result has been Trump.

[@animorph17]

@WhereasWallave4883 ... psst- Obama was among the most republican presidents we've ever had, with draconian border control policy, a republican healthcare plan that he strait up stole, and a heavy pro-war stance that focused on bombing people we don't like. We've gone so far right that a mild mannered centrist is now seen as the ultimate fringe left ... rather than, you know, actual hippie new-age crystal worship that never ends up making it into politics. Because left leaning voters can't stand for idiocy the same way right leaning voters happily will.

"like turning on a self assembled pc for the first time and not knowing if it's going to run or embed a fan 2 inches in to your eye socket" Gold

[@Stormboli-]

Bout to find out the hard way what he means.

[@fighteer1]

I know that feeling well; I've experienced it quite a few times as I've built my own PCs, and it never goes entirely away. However, it's less about worrying if a fan blade will give me a central part, but whether I've just pissed $1000 down the toilet because I plugged something in wrong.

[@Robert-xk9no]

@@fighteer1 that's as 1000 I coulda spent on weed niqqa.

[@DanielLewycky]

Wow that "this is what we'll all be playing after society collapses" joke was right on the money.

[@n147258noah]

Keep in mind, he also noted, "In a few years". Hit the nail on the head with that one, oof.

[@Manglet762]

Society hasn't collapsed yet, it's just the upper floors that are either cracked or collapsed but are still resting on the currently stable lower pillars of Society, that are themselves cracking from the pressure up above. So yeah, society is collapSING, not collapSED, but we're getting there.

[@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs]

I played far lone sails last week. The summery of his feelings in that game are the same as mine. It just felt like the game was missing something. Good game but still it could have been better

[@foureye7058]

Considering other games that gave us so much more and were so much worse? I actually felt it was pretty relaxing and honest with itself. Simple, but capable of identifying itself. What with the past couple years of series reboots and rebrands and relaunch's and all manner of games that have no clue what genre they even are. So yeah a dilute vegan salad is actually quite refreshing.

[@modwlego]

That's nice and all But carrier landings to smooth jazz?

Maybe adding bacon could fix it? It works on most vegan dishes.

My best moment in House Flipper was taking the mission in which you have to renovate a widowed man's house, and doing everything he asked...with the exception of mounting huge pictures of the Grim Reaper all around his house. Apparently he was thrilled with the makeover.

[@jackwood8496]

Thank you Yahtzee, for making me think “Y’know, I might actually enjoy reading an IKEA manual.”

[@Trojianmaru]

To each their own (especially when we come here to listen to Yahtzee shit all over games, not gush about them) but I personally loved Far. It was such a relaxing game, n I loved making my giant tank feel more personalised, by picking up random crap along the way, n taking it with me. A flower pot here, a chair there. N the way everything that isn't on a hook, falls over when you stop suddenly. Plus, I LOVE when games tell a story, just with the backgrounds and environment. Like in TLOU, when you'd be looting a house, and see clues as to who lived here, or in Dying Light, when you would see signs of escape attempts from people (like in old Town, you see a rope made from bedsheets, hanging out a window, with a van below half packed with stuff, but also a blood stain on the floor) Far does a great job of telling a story about a world that fell apart, and why it fell apart, without audio logs ruining the peaceful nature of the game, and turning it into background for an audio book, or text files you have to keep pausing to read. Plus, the way the machine gets upgrade or repaired along the way, making it clear there used to be lots of tanks like yours. To each their own, but I loved that game.

[@konstantinmostakov6914]

"A funny thing he said in the video" LOL.

Yatzee. You might wanna try Rimworld. It's a bit like dwarf fortress. Vanilla is excellent and if you get into the miles deep mods offerings. You'll find yourself losing hours in it.

[@bw6188]

isn't Rimworld still early access?

[@hogfry]

B W its in its final beta. The game is functionaly complete. The dev is just doing final optimizations. I've never been into the colony simulator or tower defense genres. But it turns out when you make the two things touch wiggly bits. They produce one hell of a love child.... Also. Again. The mods... This game has a SKYRIM level modding community. It's amazing the depth of it all.

[@ebonifragaria]

Yes but is it as batshit insane as Dwarf Fortress? Now I want Yahtzee to review Dwarf Fortress. Pleasepleasepleaseplease

[@dylanw3875]

batshit insane? well lemme tell you a story. one time, there were three people in a mountainous area with caves, they lacked shelter and thusly seeked such out within the large confines of a cave. Little did they know, one such a cave held an ancient danger; they were all mauled by a horde of Spelopedes and Megascarabs.

[@dydlus]

Lemme tell you another story. There was a colony of 3 people. One of them was Ivan, a vat-grown super soldier who was the colony's hunter. Compared to the other 2 survivors, he could shoot a fly out of the air from a kilometer away with a spear fired from a cannon. He could repel pirate invasions of 5 alone with minor wounds. But then, one day, a squirrel in the area went mad and attacked him. Before he could kill it, it bit off his index finger (right hand) and clawed his left eye out. This, coupled with the fact that he slept outside for the last 2 days, ate without a table and didn't smoke Smokeleaf (the game's equivalent of weed) for quite some time made him go wild, strip himself naked and desert the colony, leaving the other 2 to die of hunger as they could not farm for shit.

I tried to play Far: Lone Sails on my laptop, and lasted about a minute and a half before I physically taped the 'zoom' button down because I couldn't see shit with it zoomed out. I lasted about another five minutes before abandoning it completely purely for the lack of a toggle rather than a hold button. Didn't want to bugger up my eyes. Played a lot of house flipper though, until a random bug wiped my chosen office back to a dirty old frat house. Twice. Didn't care for it after that.

I somewhat enjoyed House Flipper, but then I was told to install an electrical socket and paint a house. The painting part was easy, thing was that I couldn't fucking find the broken electrical socket I had to replace, neither could I find any place to "mount devices" on. I couldn't turn the fucking mission in until I installed that electrical socket, because painting the house was less than 60% of the work needed to be done (apparently).

[@GermansLikeBeer]
