You know, I specifically remember the first having an awful port and they made an advertising campaign about how the second would be better for PC. Guess that’s done.

I fucking hate Nintendo.

I thought this was about the ball throwing to capture monsters

What’s frustrating is that the thing that is arguably questionable (the art of some of the characters) isn’t what is the subject of anything. Nope. Ball throwing.

Prior art exists of that though so you wouldn’t be able to. I know you’re making a joke though lol.

I mean, an audio book of Outer Wilds would be dope.

No, sharing digital content is copyright infringement, but downloading it? Hey, how am I supposed to know this site isn’t legally allowed to give it to me?

If they have a legitimate complaint (bad translation), it’s not review bombing

Different servers have different caps but it’s usually like more than 50.

Space Station 14! It’s so goofy! I love the idea of a large scale semi cooperative roleplaying experience.

I might check them out. I’ve recently began playing Space Station 14 and cyborgs as well as the ship’s AI have to follow the Asimov laws (except it’s “crew” instead of humans).

I’m curious how they interpret things like medical procedures that harm a human but are ultimately good. Like setting a bone or a simple vaccination.

There’s nothing wrong with using undo, there only something wrong with lying about it.

You won’t get any problems. I’ve done it before. If you make Obsidian use Markdown links you can even sort of make links to other files through other editors, but it’s a little janky still.

Obsidian to an extent? Maybe? Idk.

Same! Once I can get a way to magically sync a Markdown file to a piece of paper It’ll be perfect. In theory you can OCR from paper to a file pretty easily now.

Friendlier* lol

I thought they still did? I played Vanguard so I only had shotguns lol.

I think it’s logical, but it’s sort of like, if it was that easy why didn’t they do it sooner? And why wouldn’t guns work the old way but “reloading” just instantly dump all heat?

Come to think of it, hearing myself say it out loud, this is exactly how the laser rifles work in Helldivers 2 lol. They overheat slowly. If you fully overheat them or release early they swap out the current heat sink for a new one.

Except there are consequences for failure. See the timeline split stuff.

I loved the way weapons worked in ME1, and they had such a logical thought process behind it written in the little lore snippets. But then when ME2 came out they scrapped it for something more traditional.

Tears of the Kingdom was amazing. The only thing BotW did better was how it felt riding on horseback through Hyrule field dodging lasers. But that was the high point, the average experience in BotW was less fun that TotK for me.

TotK really might be one of my top 5.

It’s too hard to really rank every game. I spent a ton of time on Minecraft over the years but haven’t recently. Like over a decade ago I liked gmod and still spent so much time on it but haven’t played recently.

Lately colony management games have been scratching the itch. Do id probably say Dwarf Fortress, Rimworld, and Oxygen Not Included.

Are you serious?

According to developer Cara Cadaver, Steam pulled the game for “sexual content with depictions of real people,” which the game does not contain.

Look, I get it. I really do. But that doesn’t excuse them lying about it.

Edit: Did y’all not read the article?

It was one of the few times I really got hyped about a game as an adult.

Evil Genius 2. I loved Evil Genius 1 as a kid. It was far from perfect and had a lot of bugs, but it was a blast. I’m fully aware there’s a lot of rose tinted goggles going on for it in my mind. But I thought the new one would fix problems and be more enjoyable. It did improve on the first in a lot of ways, but it was so so grindy.

In EG1 you could send you minions into the world to steal money and complete missions (that gave points or loot, like stealing the Eifel Tower). I’m EG2, they kept this mechanic, but anyone you send to the world map is just gone. They cannot come back. This leads to just an annoying constant flow of recruiting more minions, training them to upgrade, and them being sent to the map forever to never return. It would perhaps be slightly better if you could increase the rate you recruit minions like the first game, but instead they always come at a constant rate and there is a button to recruit more but it’s buried in a menu. So many things in this game are buried in a menu.

Another frustration, they added a feature to automatically tag enemy agents that come to your base (to be killed, captured, distracted, etc) but they’re all under different research tiers. Why require the research at all? Right clicking agents and saying “tag for capture” is just pointless busy work. Even in the original you could hold control when you did it and it would flag the whole group. Not anymore. You can only tag one at a time.

There are just so many little things like this that made the game so annoying to play. I wanted to like it. But I just couldn’t enjoy it. The new art style is worse, too. It keeps the spy fi aesthetic but it’s much more cartoonish. The game is more diverse which is nice, the original was like all men. I also liked what they did with John Steele, the main antagonist more or less. Canonically you beat him and killed him but they pass on his mantle to new agents and train them to be like him. And they’re relatively weak, but like a constant threat.

Creating a d&d campaign is difficult, and publishing it in a way that communicates what needs to be known is tricky. It’s almost the opposite of a novel. In a novel you need to save twists and turns until the end. In a d&d campaign the DM needs to know them all from the start. But you also don’t want to overwhelm someone with too much information. But you don’t want someone who is following the module closely instead of using it as inspiration to “write” themselves into a corner because they didn’t know something would happen in a specific way later.

The main published modules for 5e are all a little different in how they present everything. Some may be better than others for certain DMs and certain groups.

Would’ve been cooler if N didn’t use pokéballs. Just a minor flavor change.

GOOD

If you recognize your outrage is medically induced why click post? /gen

Windows also said they don’t support it and may stop it from working at any time. I have already had a problem because Windows System Image tried to restore something as UEFI when I only had BIOS so forcing my BIOS system to something that technically only supports UEFI seems like an awful idea.

There’s a dude who plays the Obra Dinn main theme on a carillon I saw at my local renn fest.

So happy to see Ape Escape get the credit it deserves.

Ape Escape. I think Cryptic Relics is my favorite track but they’re all so good. They’re all drum and bass bangers.

Okay?

All of them.

Swap the () and []! 🩵

I thought it was obvious you meant Collective Shout.

It doesn’t necessarily mean it needs to be ran by the state.

There are standards already for the format of some of the messages. These options being subpar is how we got things like PayPal originally, so who knows.
