Most of the world is that way. At least for the moment.

counter-revolutionary ? damn,those r34 drawings aren't joking around

Hardcoded nostalgia is reactionary, there is nothing stopping good games being made, infact there is only greater potential, hardware and gaming popularity and industry is bigger than ever.

I KILLED YOUR BUGSBUNNY FOR REAL

Currently playing Fran Bow. Pretty good, it gives off schizo vibes, all the way until you find your cat. Cats are my only friends irl…..!

That reminded me that I have it on Steam even though I hate point'n'clicks. I really lack patience a lot of the time when it comes to puzzles.

I tried Drova and Elex, two spiritual successors of Gothic series. Elex I quit after two hours, the biggest strength of Gothic was its tight detailed map design, Elex got infected by modern open world disease of vast emptiness.
Drova as isometric game obviously does not follow same world design as Gothic, I mean it literally cant do verticality, but it does retain that exciting feeling of exploration. I have to commendate the visuals, usually indie games trying to pull off old-school pixelated graphics end up looking like ass, but Drova is so beautiful and atmospheric. It is the best Gothic-like game I played since Gothic 2, better than Risen or Archolos.

bounced off zomboid last year but i tried again and it's really fun now, even though I suck so much

Got obenseuer after kind of following the development but not really for a couple years. Propably sunk 100h on it in two weeks even though the endgame is pretty much choose your grind and nothing much to do. It has excellent polish, basically no bugs and the worst design choices are minor annoyances. I just wish you could set the rent to zero for the tenants, it's already a charity since the money spent upgrading will never be made back plus it would take the edge off being a slumlord.

According to Chinese poster anyone will buy this product. "I.e. any moron will show up and buy this game." I think it was meant to be an mmorpg of epic proportions that became a cash grab, the sake of selling its title name

Kris, Noelle and Toriel are futas
Susie and Dess are a muscle dom
Ralsei and Asriel are femboys

I'm pretty sure I already saw one hentai artist do exactly that, it's the best interpretation

If by "insane" you mean "annoying and insufferable beyond measure," Reddit and Twitter have got you covered.

Just type "obvious" and you'll get a treasure trove of absolutely abysmal takes going all the way back to Chapter 1.

I hate this ai slop

I have been noticing this pattern lately where people post memes related to the main meme without any caption. First I noticed it on xitter, and I assumed it was bots, then I noticed in the ultraleft subreddit (i go there because they sometimes do good shitposts) that's where I saw it the strongest, maybe since most of them probably use tiktok/instagram where I assume it's more popular, and recently (which surprissed me a lot) on lemmy, and now here, it seems? Am I noticing something real or am I hallucinating things?

>>46390
Well memes are simply conventions of communication: people make jokes related to the topic regardless if they had prior relation, because the part of the joke is pointing out a new relation.

>>46390
I have termed it "discordification": treating public forums like groupchats. Atleast based on personal observations and my own behaviour, the threshold for posting something vaguely related with no comment is lower among friends. And on discord, it seems, these mental spaces have started merging and spreading from there.

I like the LotR mod for Warband. Isengard is a historically progressive force bringing industrial civilization to the feudal kingdoms, largely immiserated peasants.

true true

I cant fucking believe this, 2500 days long Bannerlord campaign, defeat enemy outnumbering me almost 3:1 in a battle for my first city so I can finally make an independent kingdom, and I fucking died in that battle. Literally less than 1% chance of dying on knock-out, and it happens at this fucking point.
FUCK
FUUUUUCK
FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

I have changed the game files so Battania would use all the very good looking battania armors and weapons in the game, which also are very good. Only the noble are archers, but everyone else can throw. The falxmen have small crosbow but are bad with it and the horsemen only have common horses so they are not really lvl5 cav but are much easier to make.
My units are basically equal to the next tier of any other unit.

anyone here play napoleonic wars
if you see a faggot by the name of rice lord, thats me. And no i dont feel bad smacking you with dragoons

At the moment end also feels like the most undercooked skill. Actually it would be totally in character for volition to ecstatically support a declining political movement almost nobody talks about, but even that bit of characterization seems to be missing.

The political dialog appears very tryhard in how closely it mirrors current-day, real-world issues. I can't believe how casually it injects capitalist realism into a late-medieval society, which should very much be suspicious of trade (see the physiocrats).

It's also a bit jarring how insecure the Cleric is in his masculinity. When there isn't even anything comparable to Harry's deep-seated wömen issues, because his interactions more closely follow a lovable scamp archetype, the regular talk about feeling emasculated (dawg can't even pick up a magazine) and shame about not being in a relationship come across as lowkey incel-ish.

i am communicating that youre a retarded politically impotent pseud 👍 its still communication even if you dont like it lmao

Uygga I wrote what you replied to not him, but you should maybe answer him when asked

I guess i should write down some more thoughts after finishing the game. If you liked Disco Elysium, you should definitely give this a try. Narratively it is full of memorable characters and layered situations. Thematically it's a muddle though. It may be at its best when it's in conversation with genre tropes, like the mysterious progenitor races, the non-human underclass or the benevolent ancestral deity.

I think adding largely superficial modern elements was their worst thematic decision overall. They establish enough parallels to the real world to make many things quite unambiguous like the freestriders being literal hegemonic imperialists, who you would only vote for as an unironic capitalist realist, or the nationalists canonically being bought by them and really diminish any nuance there was in these ideologies differing from their real-world counterparts. Only praxian magocracy and radical agrarianism seem specifically tailored to the setting.

I particularly like how densely connected the two top layers of the city are. The dungeon layout leaves something to be desired, since it's maybe 7 points of interests connected by a few intersecting corridors and one preemptive shortcut. The environment art itself i'd say serve its purpose, while not really being noteworthy.

The quest system didn't turn out to be as good as it looked initially. For one it doesn't record minor quests, which would have helped with keeping track of some minor details or cleared up when a time limited quest expired or the questgiver was already dead. Having traits be determined by your decision, which will most likely boil down to which clearly stated bonus is better for your character, also cheapens the outcome. You're not getting any flavor text beyond things that are otherwise tracked, which are class and political affiliation. In fact i my character started refering to himself as a wizard, then pivoted to a druid and chose the associated trait. Due to both being tracked, people mentioned both at different times and i ended up chosing some more wizard option, because they gave exp for some reason, despite in no other way contributing to the final character sheet.

Some of the balancing is also off (in a bad way), as i found out after acquiring the jester halfway throughPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

i liked it a lot.
i am very curious about Ragn's family / his personal history.
lots of opportunities for more stories told in this world.
especially if this really is some high-level Marxist theory-work lmao.

He's directly stating that the much more generic fantasy of Oblivion and Skyrim are better than Morrowind's much more unique setting. I get that Morrowind's gameplay is controversial. I don't get preferring a generic fantasy kingdom over being swept away into dark lands under strange moons. I don't hate the generic fantasy kingdom setting, but I cannot see having a strong preference for it over a more distinct setting.

That, and hatred for Morrowind might be because of its many questionable and niche design decisions, but just as often it's "I don't want to have an adventure, I want to be lead to a place and fill out a list."

>>42368
the issue is actually that the adventure is not interesting and the destinations are boring as shit, so i dont care when i get to them.

i dont want to be led to locations, i just want locations worth seeking out. everything in morrowing looks like shit and theres nothing interesting in the whole map. the unique and distinct setting doesnt matter if the unique and distinct setting is a toilet

I prefer the 2012 piss filter over the toon colors look of post 2017.

Yeah, but I don't think 3d games usually have soul.

The most soulful games I've played are The Legend of Mana and Hollow Knight .

If you weren't intrigued by a city sitting under a meteor frozen in time by a bisexual trickster god then what WOULD move your heart of lifeless stone?

>binders upon binders of notes for an RPG setting nobody will ever play
Now make such an arcane TTRPG system, that would be challenging or near impossible to run irl, the game logic of your indie CRPG. Problem solved!

monster hunter has it relatively easy because the big monsters have overwhelming protagonism and it kind of opaques the rest of the small creatures, they just program a few simple routines for the big guys, some interactions with the aptonoths or whatever and that's enough to sell you on the fantasy of a real breathing world.

FFX and FFX-2 have pretty good ecology, even tho there's a lot of magic involved.

No it wasn't! Not even Yami knew the rules.

Right wing ideology has to be rooted in some kind of sexual frustration or inadequacy
They always complained about girls with dyed hair and chokers, but then look at a fictional one in Corporate Memphis and suddenly cum their pants. It must be some trauma over getting rejected by girls that look like this
This shit is so pathetic, I'm not even sure it's worth making fun of anymore

they consider old ladies protesting genocide terrorists in the UK

LCS has a way lower learning curve than DF

This game is so unplayable. Can't figure out how to properly put people into this squad or that. Or how to assign everyone else a car. I go to the vehicle page and I can only assign it to my main guy. It's pretty easy as fuck to max out whatever skill and make money too without getting into any trouble. Only had two hoes get caught and one got off the other just lost a month. Easy to seduce too.

I like the idea of the game as I always wanted a crime management style game but this one is kind of weak. City of gangsters is also kind of weak too and focuses too much on supply chain management.

I've been playing the updated version so maybe I will go back and try.

Wish there was a crime management game like this where you had to really actually had to manage the emotions, loyalty, greed, whatever of all these operatives instead of thos way where you just woo them by clicking the button for a few days and now they are your robot. Also the lack of variety in crimes and having like zero supply questions like buying and stashing the drugs before you sell it. Having to control blocks, go sell drugs in different social circles etc.

>>46370
Ok I figured out my problem with assigning the squads and the vehicles, but this game suffers from the problem all these types of games seem to which is there is only a shred of difficulty at the very beginning of the game. Then when you get all the upgrades and level up your characters etc. there is zero challenge. This game has no difficulty at the beginning stages because you don't even have to do any of the risky activities. You can just play it safe and face zero risk.

>>46371
Reading through the guides, if you have enough sleeper agents, they just win the game for you automatically lol.
