I’ve only just recently gotten into Act 2 but so far I haven’t come across a single bug, actually. Seems very polished. It does require a bit of a Warhammer primer before coming in if you want to know what’s going on though. The game does a good enough job of explaining things that are important within the game but a lot of the context and fine details will escape you if you don’t know at least a little about the 40k setting at large.
I didn’t mind them that much, I viewed them more as a puzzle than a combat. It helped break up some of the run and gun of the rest of the game and you always knew you were getting a cool ability when you got through it.
That said though I’ll admit the last couple EMMIs did give me a really hard time with many, many resets. But I did get through them. And once I even managed to get the perfect parry and escape after getting got by the EMMI and it was extremely hype.
Been putting a lot of hours recently into Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. It’s been a while since we’ve seen a really high quality 40k game. Most of the popular (and good) Warhammer games take place in Age of Sigmar and not 40k. (Boltgun being a notable recent exception here)
But damn, Rogue Trader really hits the nail right on the head so far. I’ve never played Dark Heresy tabletop so the ruleset takes a little getting used to for someone primarily familiar with Pathfinder rules, but once you understand the basics the rest of the game falls right into place. The lore is spot on and the adventure is fun and interesting. Highly recommend to tabletop fans and Warhammer fans each separately, and if you’re both like I am, it’s a must buy.
I was so impressed with Metroid Dread, like seriously. As a long time fan of the series I was going to buy the game anyway but it’s just such an impressively polished and put together piece of art. I was deeply impressed with it. I’m also a big fan of the direction it’s taking the lore into.
Edit: can’t get the spoiler tag to work so I just removed the second half of my comment sorry
And you believe me, there is definitely a market for that lmao
Not here to tell you how to live your life, of course. But there are a non-zero number of people that would love to see that and not to make fun of you for it.
That is outside of our scope of vision and equally as unknowable as the true purpose of God.
Uncle Enzo isn’t going to let you down unless you let him down first.
This particular dev didn’t. But the Starfield team at large has been blowing up the internet recently telling people that don’t like the game that their opinions are wrong.
Netflix used to be that and everyone bought the hell out of it. Then it enshittened and all the shows moved to proprietary platforms and now you need 19 subscriptions to get a selection of shows you care about. No thanks.
There are powerful lessons to be learned from the successes of Steam and Spotify if only the relevant people look and listen.
Okay so you admit in your own argument that they’re doing it slower. Yes, I WILL vote for a 50-year plan to fascism over voting for a 2-year plan to fascism, every time, without question. Gives us more time to turn it around before sitting officials burn everything down. At this point in this country I frankly don’t give much of a damn what the Democrat long term goals are anymore because the Republican party is such an immediate and obvious threat to safety, democracy, and human decency. Given such an environment it’s obvious that a few decades (or less) from now we’re going to be dealing with significant problems in the Democratic party, since it’s so easy to choose to usher them into power right now - it’s easy for bad actors to abuse that. And frankly there are already problems in the Democratic party. But I’d rather deal with that then, than deal with Republican ideals now, because instituting Republican ideals now will not leave us with a future where we even have the choice to deal with Democrat problems.
This has a very similar energy to the cuil decay copypasta

According to every source I can find X/Twitter has lost around 32 million users and counting since the rebrand.

That’s actually already legally mandated at least in states that require state inspections. Headlight angle is supposed to be one of the things you have to check in order to pass inspection.
In practice, mostly nobody checks it and it doesn’t matter. But it should.
They’d have to install a manual Pew switch. Go quiet for infiltration, or turn up the speakers for indimidation factor.
Those are more of an area denial weapon. Less “suppressing fire” and more “oppressing fire”
Once you get bored of the base game, Slay the Spire also has an extremely robust and high quality modding community. I got around 200 hours out of the base game and then an additional 250 on top of that out of modded classes and setting overhauls.
StS: Downfall in particular is extremely high quality and was in fact so popular that it got its own Steam store page, like a free DLC would. Highly recommend.
Hades is a killer game for the Deck, I just can’t get used to using stick controls. I put like 280 hours into M+K, it’s a hard habit to break and Heat 11 isn’t exactly the best place to learn a new control scheme.
My partner loves it though. They started the game on the deck so the learning curve is easier.
Disagree on HZD unless there were significant updates. I was around halfway through the game when I bought my deck, loaded it up on there to see how it ran, and uninstalled after about 15 minutes of never being able to make it over 15 FPS on lowest settings.
It’s playable, if stuttery, in town and in cutscenes. When you start combat it becomes a PowerPoint. Which is a shame, because I really really liked that game, but I finished it on PC instead.
Monster Hunter Rise has been scratching that particular genre itch for me on the Deck though. Rise was built for the Switch so it plays on the Deck like it was born there. Smooth as butter.
There are a multitude of reasons to recommend against using Brave.
Personally I refuse to install it because the CEO and creator, Brendan Eich, unapologetically donates to right wing and anti-gay establishments. Many people refuse to use it because it games the users and advertisers with a proprietary cryptocurrency that isn’t actually useful for anything except making money for Brave. Others refuse to use it because in 2020 Brave was caught adding their own affiliate codes and tracking data to websites in the url bar, even ones that were typed in by hand. That was eventually rolled back but it didn’t help me trust them any.
Vivaldi is a better browser option, in my opinion.
Yeah, I’m not sure what’s up with Kingmaker. It got dropped like a hot potato in favor of Wrath of The Righteous, which is to this day still receiving updates and is, in my opinion, a stellar game. Kingmaker for sure got the short end of the stick though.
