Fishing is one of the first things I did after coming back actually. I don't think I touched it before so it was a nice way to use some of the bait I've accumulated until now. Still need to get into housing though, all I have is a basic setup in one of the inn rooms. Thanks for the ideas!

Song is great and I wouldn't expect anything else from the clock lady. I do have to ask though, what kind of black magic do you use that your Youtube links are scraped by Lemmy (as in title & thumbnail)? They always end up empty for me.
Hi there! I hope there's enough lurkers to get some interesting ideas here. I just came back to the game after a year or so. I'm not really in the mood for combat at the moment so I decided to take a stab at a pacifist character for a change. Right now I'm just traveling randomly, taking screenshots and looking for quests that can be completed without combat (even through cheesing, I'll take what I can get). While fun, this approach means I'm probably missing things obvious to more active players so I was wondering if anyone has any fun non-combat activities to share. The only DLC I have are Morrowind and Murkmire but I'd be interested in things available in any other expansions as well.

I only properly played 1, 2 and a bit of Black Flag but based on that and what I've seen from all the other games I'm gonna stick with the first one.
Investigations were... well actual investigation, gameplay mechanics while simple and satisfying weren't overly automated and the game wasn't burdened with all the bloat that came afterwards. Simplified movement system from later games, one that's fighting you whenever you try to do something even a little out of game's comfort zone, is probably my major sticking point with the series.
That said, I'm not sure if that would be the best choice for you. If you want to try the classic approach I'd suggest going with the Ezio trilogy (II, Brotherhood, Revelations) as these games are more polished, if a little bloated, compared to the first game. They should still hold up well enough to have fun.

While this is a sad announcement it's also kind of understandable? I'm not exactly sure why I feel like this but my first thought wasn't "oh no, how can this be?!" but rather, "yeah, makes sense". Perhaps someone can help me figure it out properly.
Ame always felt to me like someone who'll stick with streaming as long as she has new ideas she wants to realize but won't try to force it just for the sake of staying relevant. I dunno, my mind is not awake enough for this. It's a hell of a surprise to wake up to, that's for sure.

I think we'll be able to repair all accessible components, we just won't be able to take them (size 3+) out and switch to a new one by hand. That's how I understood that anyway.

I'll wait for more info before taking out my pitchfork but boy do I hope this isn't a new game. They can't be this stupid, can they? If they'll even hint at doing something new before the stuff we're waiting for is finished and released I'm done with the project for good.
Lets hope this is some kind of side app connecting to SC or something.

I think an important step would be to not be afraid of creating characters with actual... well, character. It was somewhat mentioned in the video but it seems like devs are unwilling to make NPCs with their own likes and dislikes, ones that might disagree with players instead of being all over them no matter what. This might be a slight exaggeration but boy do I wish we had more "real" feeling NPCs in games. I'm sure I'm not the only one who couldn't care less about being the most important being in the universe and would rather be treated as an equal part of the world.
From a mechanical standpoint, relationship system in Scarlet Hollow feels like a good step into making interactions more natural (here is a detailed look by one of the devs) but I realize it's a lot of work for something a good chunk of players won't care about. I understand why this isn't something many (especially bigger) devs would be interested in using but it's still a disappointment.
Maybe AI will be able to help somewhat with this problem in the future but I'm not going to hold my breath on that.

Oh, I didn't try to imply you did. It's just I've seen a lot of talk about this route being more... rough (on a story rather than quality level), so to speak? If that's the case I'm just not in a headspace for something like that and would rather play it when I'm in a position to better appreciate what's there. Maybe I just misunderstood people's thoughts about it, that's also a possibility.
Either way I do want to go back to it eventually, if only to spend some more time with both characters (I do find them fun whenever they show up in other routes).

A lot of comments I've seen about Shizune's route suggested it probably wouldn't be something I'll enjoy, that's why I decided to skip it for now. I might give it a shot some day but for now I'm just happy with all the other great stuff in the VN.

Katawa Shoujo is great!
I played it years ago and decided to replay it again a few months back. My initial playthrough was limited to Hanako's route (got a bad ending which I'm kind of baffled by after the replay) so this time I wanted to try out the other ones as well. Rin's story ended up being a surprise highlight of the whole process in a way I wasn't really prepared for (had some very familiar thoughts showing up there). Her whole story just clicked with me and wouldn't let go until some time after finishing it.
All the other routes were great as well (haven't touched Shizune/Misha one) and I'm glad I decided to give it another shot for an expanded experience. It was worth it and made me wish for more games with disabled protagonist/characters (without using it as their main characteristic obviously).

Thanks for the details. Isn't RMQ already in? I remember it being mentioned in regards to personal hangars before 3.24 release (umless that's what you mean by new).
Either way, I wish them luck. We could really use some networking improvements.

I tried playing Bahamut Lagoon, a Japan only SNES TRPG, but had to stop due to some technical issues with the unofficial translation. The little bit I did manage to play (prologue and the first scene after that) was interesting enough so I'll definitely try again, I just need to get back to my PC so I can research what's wrong with it.
To keep with the theme I started Jeanne d'Arc, the PSP TRPG, instead. I like the art style, animated cutscenes and gameplay. Not a huge fan of the fantastical elements but they're not a dealbreaker either. I'm not sure what to think about the story just yet - I like it for the most part but there are some things that make me a bit wary since they might potentially turn into tropes I'm not going to be happy with. It's a "wait and see" for now since I'm still pretty early on. It's good so far.
