Putting a real general in charge of it probably helped too.
- Comment on Making Baldur’s Gate 4 would be "a great challenge" for Rogue Trader devs Owlcat, co-founder says, as the studio reiterate their commitment to CRPGs 1 week ago:
I’m only in act 2. So far it’s been pretty good. It does a pretty good job of getting the 40k feel while also being approachable if you don’t really know much about it. It feels like there is some replay value for different play styles and team compositions.
It’s not really a negative, but because it’s 40k the alignment system is a bit weird. It’s imperium good (evil), chaos (extra evil), and iconoclast (less indiscriminate killing).
- Comment on Sweeping, strafing and suppression: Total War: Warhammer 40,000 threatens to blow up Total War's combat fundamentals 2 weeks ago:
Line of sight is simulated from individual to individual, rather than the unit as a whole, and the game will also track the contents of individual magazines.
RIP my PC of I try to run this.
- Comment on Reported lead of Obsidian's new Fallout game wants you to feel a "sense of agony" when playing an RPG, rather than being an all-powerful god-splatterer 2 weeks ago:
That’s generally how cult classics work. You see praise for The Big Lebowski because those that don’t like it mostly ignore it.

It’s considered the best by those that like it, New Vegas is very much a cult classic.
- Comment on Send Patton, he’s the guy 2 weeks ago:
Patton wasn’t exactly wrong with that stance. It mostly came down to luck that centrally planned communism was a massive failure.
- Comment on Palworld Hits Nearly 1 Million Concurrent Players 10 Days After 1.0 Launch 2 weeks ago:
If you’ve played before, 1.0 is a pretty significant change. If you quit playing shortly after it blew up on 2024, it’s nearly a different game.

That’s 2/3 of what has been released this millennium. At this point it’s what the series is.

I think that misses the point of the series though, or at least 3 and 4. The point is that you become the god that saved or destroyed the wasteland. You become the legend for the next generation.
- Comment on Dedicated to that one guy, in good humour. 2 weeks ago:
The death of Monty endured it would get worse.
- Comment on Like Every single fucking time, and it's not only about Ancient Greeks 3 weeks ago:
People who think that something being fiction means there are no rules and anything goes are the most annoying people to discuss with.
- Comment on Valve to no longer offer physical gift cards due to scammers 1 month ago:
Digital makes it much easier for steam to track. They can more easily identify steam accounts and emails that are part of scam networks. They have options like not allowing sales to be delivered to scammer@scam.com, or reverting transactions they believe are scams within 24 hours.
- Comment on Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up? 7 months ago:
So far just dlc for games I already own. Maybe I’ll get Slime Rancher.
- Comment on Are AAA Games too bloated? 1 year ago:
It’s not so much that the games are bloated (they are), it’s that many are incredibly gated as well. There’s always been super grindy and bloated games, but the degree it’s done today is just different. You can’t just spend two weeks putting in 100+ hours into a modern game and complete everything. It’s no longer kill a million mobs to get this achievement, it’s kill 100 mobs max a day until you kill a million. It’s do this phase and wait a month for the next phase.
Diablo 2 is honest and open about it’s grinding, modern day games aren’t.
