I don't mean that it's sad for his sake, I mean that it's sad in the sense that it shows how people just adopt an opinion and then stick to it regardless of whether or not it matches the events that are actually transpiring in front of them.

I don't know if Russel being called "Osama Bin Russel" the whole season while collecting a grand total of 0 penalty points is funny or sad, to be honest. Feels like the real terrorists of the grid last season were Lawson and Bearman.

Alan Wake 2 is the only title I ever bought on Epic too. Do not regret it, despite my dislike of Epic and EGS. My desire to support Remedy was magnitudes larger than any desire to protest Tim Sweeny.

Yes, this is it right here. The whole point of art is communication and connection with another human being.

That word always makes me think of the first dream in Disco Elysium. Can't think of it without hearing it in Mikee W. Goodman's Ancient Reptilian Brain voice.

The name is enough for me to subscribe and give it a chance.

I have a special fondness for 7/10 games that feel better than the 7/10 they objectively are. I recently played Enotria and would put it in the same bucket as Greedfall in that regard. Janky AA game that isn't objectively excellent but has a lot of heart if you can tolerate its flaws.

There are a lot of imperfections in Greedfall. It's a janky game, and if you're accustomed to either large scale AAA polish or tight indie games with reduced scope that nail one thing well then you might be bothered by some things. This was definitely a small budget AA studio being a little overambitious with their skill and resources at times.

That being said I actually had a really good time with it, and still think back fondly on it. I appreciate Spider's heart and effort. It's also nice to have a fake language implemented with a clear voice acting direction so that each native NPC speaks with a consistent accent - something larger studios have failed at (looking at you, CDPR with TW3 - Blood & Wine).

All in all for the price of €3.50 I think you'll get a good deal out of it if you enjoy the genre and can tolerate a bit of jank.

I really hate the trope of having a mission around the 50-75% mark where you are stripped of all your gear and unlocked abilities. I know it must be popular because it keeps popping up in games but I just don't enjoy it personally.

If you can't find an invite there I can probably sort you out.

I thought so too at first, but I actually don't think the movement aspect of Deadlock would feel as good in first person.

"Firstly, to have more interaction between companions - not just with more and better banter, but to have them develop deeper relationships with each other, just as they do with players," he wrote. "Secondly, to ramp up player friendship and romance more subtly, so relationship building feels natural."

Let's fucking hope so, because the absolute inanity of this whole thing is one of the game's biggest faults. For a game that has somehow been praised for its writing a whole lot it's kind of absurd that something like this needs to be addressed and clarified.

Interesting failure states has to be one of the most difficult things to implement in game design. To this day I struggle to think of many examples besides Disco Elysium that manage to discourage save scumming purely by virtue of having failed rolls often lead to equally or more beneficial and interesting results as successful rolls.

"Obviously the widow would receive a financial percentage for passing it on. This the only way left to get around inheritance tax."

Going out of your way to ensure you don't inadvertently help others even in death is a special type of evil.

First of all as an all-powerful interdimensional hyperbeing he's got to have some pretty interesting stories to tell. And secondly as evidenced by DS3 and ER he actually has a good heart in there.

Maybe this is just Stockholm Syndrome after letting him boot me in the ass every game willingly, but I think he'd be surprisingly fun to chat with.

Sounds cool. Hope they pull it off.

Genuinely would probably pick Patches. Am I insane for that?

Trump also seems to like the classical dictator as a role model, so there is always the tried and true method of simply declaring a state of emergency and suspending elections.

Definitely piqued my interest, looks impressive for what seems to be a single-dev project? Art direction and vibe definitely wears some Bloodlines influence on its sleeves and the graphics style is quite different and interesting.

Tomtemaskinen var min absoluta favorit när jag var liten. Vi hade den inspelad på VHS och när jag var sjuk och var hemma från skolan ville jag alltid se den, året runt.

Ny är det säkert decennier sedan jag såg den sist... undrar om jag skulle gilla den lika mycket nu som vuxen.

Bra tips, jag utnyttjar verkligen inte SVT Play till det fullaste! Borde också ta initiativ att titta igenom sortimentet lite. Använder det mest för Engelska Antikrundan 😅
