what is a hero shooter and what makes it overwatch-style?

I’d think tf2 would be one.


when they released they were real time with pause, like the old baldurs gate games.

they added a turn based mode though, in a later patch.


maybe the pathfinder games by owlcat. the pathfinder rules they use are very very simmiliar to d&d 3.5 so, should feel familiar if you enjoyed neverwinter.

they are not super hardware hungry and run without a problem through proton/wine.


i think it was during Swens acceptance speech at the video game awards where he thanked the amazing people at hasbro/wotc who helped to make bg3 a reality only to say how strange/sad it is that almost no one from the first meetings is still at the company in his next sentence.


I am surprised it’s not more.

It’s super charming, has many interesting twists on the pokémon formula, a great ost, monster designs are good… it should be up there with other beloved indies.


Cs:go, dota 2, artifact and underlords i think.

I guess this is estimated revenue through game sales, otherwise i’d think activision-blizzard(candy crush) and valve(steam cut, dota and cs micro transactions, steam market) would be higher.

And of course MS has an interest to undervalue some companies compared to sony and nintendo


“Schwacher Trank der Lebensenergie-Wiederherstellung.”

Oblivion auto generated potion names based on their effects and the template they used lead to this super long names in german. A proper translation would have been “Schwacher Heiltrank” or “Schwacher Lebensregenerstionstrank”


People in media are often displayed filling strongly defined roles based on their outward appearance and such, this reinforces biases and forms certain expectations, thus it’s good to provide examples that show people in different roles.

E.g.:

gay men are often presented as flamboyant, always horny party people, but seldom as successful, serious business guys or as a caring partner for their loved one.

Or the classical trope of the damsel in distress, where the womans purpose is to be in danger so she can be rescued by a strong heroic male.

Or Men in general who are seldom portrait as emotional complex people.
