It’s pretty far from a realistic military shooter at this point, huh?

Well you see, they wrote the articles with AI.
World’s smallest violin plays quietly
Thanks for doing what I didn’t have time to!
Also available on GOG for those who prefer.
This one isn’t super new, but Druidstone. It’s a story based tactics game with some RPG elements and it’s just excellently done. I’ve never heard anyone else mention it and I think more people should know about it.
Wow that was a great piece of journalism. Seeing it all aggregated like that I don’t think there can be any doubt that this guy was full of shit, even if what he was doing could be argued to be positive. He used marginalized communities to enrich himself, even if what he made had value, and that is just such a sad and horrible way to get there.
Why did he even feel the need to do so if he had something valuable to give back? This whole thing honestly makes me think of some catfish episodes over the years. The ones where people create such a complex web of fake profiles and don’t know how to stop.
I’ve only ever played 3 and I really liked it when I did. Sad that one doesn’t get talked about much cause the art style is my favorite of the whole series I think.
It definitely had its fair share of batshit insane puzzles, but overall it’s a great game.
I can’t think of how you would enforce it either, but I do think there’s value in putting a line in the sand. It makes it clear that yes, this is crossing a line into illegal activity. Will everyone care and stop? No. I do believe some will, though, as a result of this.
No no no, see, your voice is only valuable for a one time sale these days. Stop being greedy! /s
Seems like quite a level headed approach to it. I’m always a little leery of these types of systems but they explain it well and I think their reasoning makes sense.
Honestly seeing the before and after just makes me want it to be a changing weather system. Sorry for the scope creep suggestion. 😅
Worth noting that fog is often a performance increase for games and part of why it’s so common. It’s not always a purely aesthetic choice on the dev’s part.
I had the same experience when I recently had to get a new phone. Stock launchers have improved a lot.
But then how could we make things proprietary?!
I think most do and it’s a good way to look at it. There are definitely companies out there that people don’t think of as indie that are technically independent, so I just wanted to mention it. It’s still very cool to hear they’ve surpassed triple a!
It’s worth noting that indie is a pretty wide tent. Some studios are technically indie but they’re working with practically AAA budgets.
I recently moved out of Seattle up north a ways and it was weird to see styrofoam again. Feels dirty lol. Glad this got passed.
Those all seem like good ones to me, too. Honestly the defensive juggernaut thing doesn’t really exist period in GW2, so I guess it’s by design. At least not compared to other RPGs. Everyone is quite squishy.
You’ve made me realize that a mesmer fantasy I miss from GW1 is a domination magic mesmer. Something that heavily punishes certain types of gameplay and doesn’t do the illusion thing. Is that what you were getting at with the mesmer part?
I wonder if they would ever consider adding new specs to only some classes instead of all at once. On one hand people would definitely rage and whine, but I could imagine that making for much better designed specs over time.
I’m curious, what kind of niches do you see unfilled still? I already felt like some of the gen 3 specs were reaching a bit.
I absolutely love online lunatics like this (and also they have way too much time on their hands 😅). Gaming wouldn’t be the same without 'em.
