The notion that the West needs China more than vice versa is laughable. China is literally the biggest importer of Western goods and resources in the world including absolute dependence on American soybeans just to feed its population.

Tolkien is but an average tree enjoyer.

Nice body shaming. Also stupid metaphor since Lucy’s brother is highly intelligent.

It’s the best Bethesda’s Fallout to day. Less Bethesda writes the better, the gameplay is great.

No, only boomers watch Fox News, young people watch TikTok making it a way more potent weapon.

Sseth gave me the courage to finally purchase this outstanding game.

To be fair most of the confusion stems from just the stupidity of the word rogue-lite. I also believe that if you insist on using the words interchangeably - that’s fine as long as you correctly establish the context. Like first you say you’re going to talk about Hades and Dead Cells and then you bring the R-word into it. I personally get confused when I see a video on YT saying best upcoming roguelikes and there isn’t anything resembling Rogue on it at all and the author seems to be completely unaware of the existence of a whole genre. Happens more than I’d like to admit.

I agree with this statement.

Most of the indie Devs these days work under indie publishers (lol) and also receive salary.

Reading from a tablet, phone or a laptop is pure savagery! Ebook is a must have if you’re any kind of prolific book reader.

Stupidity is a moral flaw after all.

BG3 is a terrible example. One of my main gripes with that game is that the virtual DM actively hates evil characters and tries to sabotage your play through at every step. Not to mention that the writers provided only chaotic stupid dialogue variants for evil roleplay. It’s usually [good], [good], [question], [attack the whole town], [goodbye]. And murderhoboing isn’t even fun here because it’s boring to fight whole cities at once. BG3 is a good tactics game with a brothel of a harem VN on the side, but it’s a lousy RPG. Very reminiscent of Mass Effect in that way that was a TPS with a brothel, but a terrible RPG.

Good examples would be KOTOR 2 and Fallout 1/2/NV.

Extremely hyped for this, their previous game was amazing.

Rock and stone… I guess?

I’d take a goddamn Bubsy 3D remake from them if it’d be of the same quality as System Shock.

There’s a lot of high level corruption in Germany these days, so I wouldn’t be surprised.

Check out Graveyard Keeper, a way better designed game with a good sense of humour and none of the wholesome and waifu nonsense.

A popular myth, but a myth nonetheless.

Sounds like something Elon Musk would say.

Good thinking with the trackball. Honestly when you get used to one of them bad boys it’s almost as good as a traditional mouse.
