See, if that person that insists on using thorns in all their comments really committed like this, I think they’d get less flak, and more buy-in.
Everything’s on purpose!
Broke my normal rule of waiting for a 50% discount (or better) and picked up KCD2. I’ve just been mainlining it. It’s a bigger, better version of the first game (which I loved, hence the early purchase), and picks up right where that one left off. No complaints, except maybe that horseshoes are a pain in the ass to forge.
No, you didn’t!
No, it isn’t!
Zounds! Is it Durin’s Day, already? Or is there a camera filter for moon letters now? Cool map!
I had forgotten about Early. Such an odd choice to name him after a Confederate general. Apparently said general was an ancestor of Nathan Fillion, which I suppose is the reason for it. Richard Brooks really nailed that part, though.
It does seem like an odd time for a Voyager tie-in game. Reminds me of an upcoming game I saw in my Steam queue the other day that’s based on Mars Attacks!. Flipping Mars Attacks!!? What could be more relevant? Really striking while the iron’s hot with that one.
Anyhow, I hope it does well. I don’t think it’s for me, but I’m all for more Star Trek games. Resurgence is pretty great, imo.
It’s ok, the fight’s being sponsored by crystal skull vodka.
That’s fair. I still don’t like it—I think lots of people will assume it’s called that because of Threads—but I don’t have any better ideas. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Why not fediverse? I’d argue that Threadiverse is far from a neutral term; it implicitly ascribes ownership of all these spaces to Meta.
I was listening to a podcast yesterday—I think it was The Flop House— and one of the hosts talked about how part of the struggle involved with making any kind of art is getting through the phase where the quality of what you’re able to create doesn’t measure up to your taste. It’s pretty discouraging when you work hard on something and it just isn’t anywhere near as good as you think it should be. Maybe it’s trite, but it resonated with me.
Well, it’s inaccurate. Fiction does not require unrealistic elements. There’s just scads of fiction out there—across multiple genres—that’s set in a real time and place, and doesn’t involve anything fantastical.
Yeah, I just finally picked up Cyberpunk a month or two ago. Great game—I thoroughly enjoyed it—but it doesn’t have the breadth of, say, BG3, where you’re missing out on a ton of content based on the choices you make. I could do a new Cyberpunk playthrough and like, do a melee build instead of ranged, but there’s no real story-based impetus for replaying it imo.
That’s a pretty tough comparison, to be fair. I can’t think of any other comparable RPGs with as much built-in replayability as BG3. And even in BG3, you’re stuck with the brainworm plotline, much like Johnny Silverhand. There’s just a lot more depth to the various paths you can take.
This generational bullshit is all made up by marketing assholes. None of it is legit, it’s all a distraction from the class war we should all be waging.
It is terribly crowded. And there isn’t enough shade, or places to sit. Still, at least some of the rides are really well done, have air-conditioned lines, and are of decent length. I went to Knott’s berry farm a month or two ago, and I’d say that was worse. Terrible food options with insane markups—like, at a cafeteria-style bbq place, a single beer costs $16.50. And we waited for over an hour in the sun for what felt like a 30-second ride (This site lists it at 1:02, but I’m skeptical).
Tons of 'em! Comedies, in particular, tend not to have guns. I watch a lot of UK light ent, particularly panel shows, which fit the bill.Then there’s sci-fi (if you’re cool with space guns), and shows set before guns were invented (other weapons may make appearances).
I had a lot of fun with Eve Echoes for a while, but the steady catering to whales and multiboxers sucked the fun out of it for me. I just want to fly around with friends and blow shit up, without spending exorbitant amounts, or running my own personal fleet.
I think people in cars would tend to accelerate away from a brick-waving pedestrian, rather than stop. Would be an interesting study, though!
