https://perchance.org/ai-rpg Let's start a thread and share the results of our stories. I've been playing around with this and want to see what others can do with it. This is a digital dm. It can run any campaign you give it and it doesn't seem as restricted like other chat AIs. It goes along with some weird shit. Fantasy, modern day, sci fi. If you can think of it, it can do it if you give it some form of goal. I haven't played around with this part enough, but I assume you can make it stick to different rule sets or game mechanics if you explain it. Fill out the top box with the rules and world building. it will generate a paragraph of setting and other characters. You can then tell it what you'll do next or just hit continue and it will keep the story going without your input (often creating actions on your part). If you don't like something, you can directly edit the story text. Just delete a few lines here and there or rewrite it yourself and it parses that text as it continues the story. If you click generate template on the tracked info, it will keep a track of inventory, stats, character relationships and whatever else you want to write in there like a notepad. Play a game. Post your story highlights in this thread.

Visiting places you grew up in, except they're empty now. Nobody is there, not just from your past, but I mean nobody. Things have shifted in a subtle way, the area seems darker, strange sounds can be heard you didn't hear growing up. The place has been warped by time, and it now has potential for danger. I am speaking from experience, the old neighborhoods I walked through don't look much different, but man there's a bad feeling to them now.
Personally, I think that a middle of nowhere wilderness is scariest of all. You're completely exposed from all angles. >>1250024 >because a lot of horror depends on ambushes and surprise, which cramped locales are naturally conducive to. Or, something comes over the hill and you get to watch it slowly close in on your location. >>1299196 Played a bit of RE4 and I haven't really got to the scary parts yet. It's more a simulator of me and my friends as teens playing about in the woods. >>1478305 The inner-city photos are kinda surreal and feel like a 3d render but that Central Park one and Grand Central Station feel so peaceful. Central Park could be a Spyro hubworld. >>1604432 I like that feeling but it's a different sort of horror. Somewhere you felt safe and comfortable becoming uncanny. It's an all too familiar feeling. I look at games like POSTAL 2 and Cruelty Squad and imagine living in those places. Wanting desperately to go home ...but I already *am*.
Any location can be the best. It depends on how the game does it.

Which video game story comes the closest to Aristotelian perfection? Anonymous 07/26/2025 (Sat) 05:09:54 Id: 0cbb67 No. 1605074 [Reply]
By Aristotelian perfection, I mean which video game story comes the closest to meeting the standards for a perfect story Aristotle lays down in his Poetics? I've been thinking about this for a while, and the closest I can think of is Metal Gear Solid 1. >It has a fairly solid unity of action. There are a few diversions, but most of the plot beats contribute directly to the main action of Snake stopping the terrorists >It takes place in less than 24 hours >It takes place in one location (Shadow Moses) >the characters clearly express their thoughts through their words and actions >Snake and Liquid are long lost relatives who are forced to fight each other by fate >Even though Snake survives, the uncertainty of his fate due to Foxdie still provokes fear and pity in the audience (we know from later games that he lives, but I'm just talking about MGS1 as a self-contained story here) >The game makes excellent use of spectacle, which Aristotle liked
14 posts and 5 images omitted.
>>1606497 The 24 hour limit is really limiting for video games due to games complex enough to have a "real" story also being large enough to warrant longer stories. Come to think of it though, a lot of the early "excuse" stories do qualify., especially if one takes "single physical location" to include bigger locations like "city" >a giant ape has kidnapped a woman and climbed to high parts of a construction site with her >a mad scientist has turned helper robots into villains and now they're rampaging across the city For a straight, relatively modern, example what about Portal? >the tragedy is the AI went crazy or (counting Portal 2) that Cave Johnson stuck his secretary into a computer to become a crazy AI >no indication is given that either game takes place in anything more or less than real time >everything takes place at the Enrichment Center or (in the ending) its campus
>>1606817 Aristotle focuses mostly on tragedy, but some of his points, like the three unities, can be applied to other genres. The main reason he prefers tragedy to epic poems (which usually were usually either quest narratives, war narratives, or both) is because they tend to have a greater unity of action, whereas epics often have diversions that distract too much from the main plot.

RTS but Chill City Town builders Anonymous 07/20/2025 (Sun) 00:15:20 Id: af9215 No. 1583395 [Reply]
When I was a kid I loved spending hours building things in rts games but the problem is that these were always focused on war and not on economics or aesthetics. there were not many options focused on decorating or a sandbox, it was limited by rounds, time or the campaigns or resources that are limited and not infinite. I used to create beatiful cities in AoE singleplayer play and editor mode I don't like Simcity bacause is too modern and less fantasy or medieval. I still remember the era of flash games like this that were on facebook. >Also Is there any game that's a partially rts and city or town builder with fantasy or medieval features that is chill to play? something to see activity in the city or town or inside houses-craft-shops as if they were peasents from the settlers. The closest games doing something like this I found was >The Settlers >Spellforce >Cultures: The Discovery of Vinland >Rise and Fall: Civilizations at war >Stronghold >Beasts and Bumpkins >Black and white >Knights and Merchants >Heroes of Might and Magic

>>1583639 From the same devs of Pharaoh there's <<Zeus: Master of Olympus>> with expansion packs. The mechanics are very similar afaik, but the art, music, missions, and mythology are really good.

You ever had a second playthrough change your opinion on a game? I just did. I realized 2 days ago I had never done a retard run of fallout 1, so I did. Fallout 1 is still an amazing game but all my other playthroughs had a tough beginning but easier endgame. This retard with a knife though was easily cutting through rad scorpions and raiders like it was nothing. It wasn't until later when I tried to fight supermutants that the problems started. Even then the knife wasn't really the problem, it was more about me getting 1 shot by gatling guns. It did make me wonder about a lot of things. I do not think it is possible to beat the game 1st time as a retard. I have no idea how you would know without meta knowledge that the cathedral is where the master lives. It was also this playthrough that I found out that drugs can stack. You can take multiple mentats and just be a normal person until the drugs wear out. That does kinda go against the spirit of the playthrough but it did allow me to speak to Harold properly. You can also just take 2 rad-x and be immune to radiation. Would have been great to know before I lost an hour of progress to instant death radiation. I am also amazed by how much dialogue they wrote for the low intelligence players. Some of it I assume was intended for players who were using drugs and got their intelligence lowered. Even then though I was seeing unique dialogue even up to the final boss. I was expecting a bit more of a speech from a man who just lost everything to a fucking idiot with a sledge and a rocket launcher but having anything is already good. Now I am just wondering if I want to replay 1 again or should I try playing 2? I have tried 2 before and it never grips me like the first game does.

>>1620368 Both their appreciation stems from how the Legion made their territories safe from bandits and raiders. But I wouldn't say either supports them outright, you can still slaughter The Fort and Caesar without them so much as making a complaint. I don't know if Ulysses would have worked as a Legion follower. It's his dialogue the issue, how many players would have had the patience to sit through line after line of apologetics? Guess it all depends on how much the other writers would have reigned in Avellone. Still as a former tribal and high-ranking member of the Legion, his point-of-view would have been unique. Coincidentally, him and Boone would have both been the most socially elevated companions you could have gotten. Not as elevated as a potential Victor though :^) The one thing I don't get about them is the bull. Shouldn't it have two heads like Brahmin do? Are there un-radiated, normal Bos Taurus in southeast America. Maybe some billionaire Texan built a vault just for his longhorn herd. >>1620272 Considering Fallout 4's synths sure, emphasise their marionette-like movements and they'd fit even better. But considering a retrofuturistic aesthetic I think they'd be too out-of-place. Too human for the Fallout Universe. I think your idea might work if you made their heads less human.
>>1620390 Ulysses in Lonesome Road and Ulysses in the initial draft were almost completely different characters. That's why I included "original". >the bull It's iconography from Caesar. If there were two heads on the bull, it would mean the Legion isn't unified. Also, I doubt there are two-headed bulls in the wasteland. Two-headed cows have some usefulness, but two-headed bulls would try to rip themselves in half. Just think about how their horns would work.

Got around to pirating this finally, and more power to whatever psychotics out there that have the patience to play this game. I think around day 30 of getting fucked in the ass repeatedly by RNG I modded infinite resources and even with that trying to put together rooms to make progress was tedious, and all I did was get the straightforward, unsatisfying non-ending. The idea of a roguelite puzzle game isn't complete anathema to me, I just don't think that they needed to go as far as they did to null progress and waste time in between the time and effort needed to solve some of these esoteric puzzles. It just isn't worth the effort, at least not to me. The puzzles themselves can be fun and I liked what was being built up of the story/setting/characters but I definitely wasn't hooked enough to put up with this.
>>1445731 RNG definitely sucks, but for the record that wasn't the ending.
Finally got around to playing this. An excellent game and it's definitely fun, but I threw the towel at around the moment I started reading The Clue and got 4 Sigils. There's definitely a lot to enjoy in the game, even if you struggle against the RNG on principle (which is frankly a lot easier to deal with than some people here imply), but somehow they went crazier and farther than even Noita puzzles and that's just... not healthy unless you're in the turbo autismo territory. Just lightly gazing at The Clue fills me with an indescribable laziness, just imagining all the obtuse hard work it takes for just the slightest hints at the most obscure of things. Also not having some sort of database where you can look up all text you've read before is super annoying for no good reason. I ended up combining screenshots, book recordings and notes manually but jesus fucking christ what a hassle. And then it some fucking how gets even worse than that. I defended the RNG earlier, but some requirements are clearly very annoying to reach for some endings. Not even Noita was this bad, holy fuck. 8/10 Outer Wilds is still better.

Not Enjoying Games Anymore? Anonymous 04/30/2025 (Wed) 06:23:37 Id: d88aab No. 1289861 [Reply] [Last]
This is sort of a meta thread, so feel free to remove it if it's the wrong place for this. Anyway, have you all ever become burnt out on video games? I've felt like recently no matter what I play, I just can't enjoy it. I get the initial enjoyment of starting the game that I've been thinking about for a very long time, but I just don't have the reason or motivation to care to see it through, and the more I force myself to continue the game, the more I hate it. The last time I enjoyed a game was when I was playing through the MGS series. I racked up a list of things I wanted to play or replay because at that moment, I was solely focused on playing MGS. After I finished, I took a short break and decided I wanted to play DMC, since I tried it a long time ago and thought maybe I'd enjoy it on another attempt. I started out liking it, but slowly began to hate it, and eventually I dropped it. I went on to replay Nier after that because I remember very fondly those characters and wanted to check it out again, but didn't have the investment to see past the first few hours. Then a friend bought me Death Stranding, another game I disliked before, but decided I would give another go. After about 5 hours, I lost steam for it. I then tried to play Thief, a brand new game, and while I loved the game's atmosphere and think it's amazingly designed, I quit that one, too, because it just didn't spark anything in me. Now I've been fiending for a Sekiro replay after getting more into samurai films, and Sekiro is one of my favorites, but even now I feel like I'd rather be playing something else, like Ghost of Tsushima or Nier. On the flip side, I played Shantae somewhere in between those games and was hooked, I loved it, and I'm replaying Morrowind right now because it's a game that's near to my heart and am similarly in love with it. I know I can like games, but for some reason, I just can't enjoy the ones I feel so interested in playing. There's just something missing from me that's not letting me enjoy new games. I've mostly just resigned to doing my other hobbies by now. It makes me very frustrated, though, like something's broken about me. It's as if I like the idea of playing these games than actually playing them. I want to like them, but I just can't. Have you anons ever experienced this issue? How did you fix it?
