So last year I started making this game with a couple of others, and it’s been a bit of a slog. But this week Splattercat made a video of the playtest which was awesome, so I thought I’d invite more people to join it. (you can see his review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv3EOrDM2TA

We basically used Signalis and Darkwood as inspiration, made it about a nun and created a Faith system which you balance against your survival.

You can join the playtest on Steam - I’m opening some slots up every couple of weeks: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3470850/Void_Martyrs/

Let me know what you think!

Some background: Every time I upgrade my PC or overclock it, I wanted to see very clearly what performance impact that made. I found that comparing benchmark results directly was fine, but clunky. I wanted something cleaner.

Enter: CompareBench. Its core features are product and benchmark comparisons. We have a desktop app called Yardstick that facilitates a lot of this.

When you install Yardstick and log in, it automatically reads your full hardware configuration and syncs it to your profile.

Here’s an example of what that looks like: https://comparebench.com/build/1825

On the site itself, we have support for all 3DMark exports. Port Royal, Time Spy etc. There’s also a hardware catalog ala PCPartPicker with live pricing. You can also compare products side by side, and we have community leaderboards ranked by benchmark type. You can explore all of that without signing up.

We’re working on a plugin architecture for this too, and one of the plugins we’re …

Extracting during a trios match and got stunned twice by a hornet.

Both times while climbing inside the escape hatch.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I feel like this is a bug because no way Arc should be able to pull raiders out of a hatch like that. Even in PvP it would be impossible to hit that shot while I was already inside.

Edit: Holy smokes, I did not anticipate getting this many upvotes/comments. I expected like a few dozen but damn. It’s been funny reading the witty comments and gifs.

To address some commentators, what started off as taking pot shots at a lone distant hornet turned into what that was.

One of my squad members started to get anxious and called for the hatch escape which led to our hasty retreat.

We definitely should have held our ground and finished off those arcs or go down trying. As a few people pointed out, It would have even been safer for all of us to get downed because at least then the arc would not have been harassing us while we crawled to …

I have been playing since late november and i just now realised that you can also loot THE SIDES OF THE BUS. Not only the back.

I had absolutely no idea about this, and i feel utterly incompetent now - so i am sharing this to y’all because there are probably more out there who are as clueless as I am. Scavange safely topside, and have a great weekend!

Seriously. We all get a little worked up over games here and there, but that should be a fleeting moment. Before you hit post on that 500 word essay about how someone shot you or some other nonsense, take a good long look in the mirror and ask yourself “is this who I really am?”. Go for a walk. Have a wank. Go to work. Go for a smoke. Just chill the fuck out, for your own sake. I’ve never encountered a game that people take SO personally.

To the guy in Spaceport I asked if he was going to go to the top of the tower, and then gave him a ruined parachute “I had just found”, to which he replied “you can use that?!” and ran to the tower, and I did not say anything.
