I also just switched last weekend! My city was hosting an install fest, made it very easy

The real answer

Changing things up seems generous. Palworld already has real time combat in a monster catching sim. This feels like further being a dick to palworld and stealing their mechanics after suing them into oblivion.

It does look fun, but I struggle with Nintendo these days.

Like so many others I finished expedition 33 most recently and it was fantastic for anyone who enjoys story heavy RPGs. I also finished citizen sleeper shortly before that and the last dlc of not for broadcast, also both amazing. Now I am on to palworld, I am judging this to be the right intersection of good features added but no major losses from the ongoing lawsuit yet. Time will tell if that’s a good estimate.

I have loved Nintendo games for a long time but after their behavior lately I am disinclined to support them anymore, and the original switch will likely be my last Nintendo console.

I can be cynical about the game industry at times but the reality is this year we got a lot of great games from smaller studios and it’s a trend that seems like it will continue. With kkd2, expedition 33, and that new survival craft that just came out 2025 is a good year for games as far as I am concerned

I’m not an expert (or libertarian), but my understanding is that a libertarian is basically interested in small government/low government oversight. That platform is a little on both ends of the US political spectrum. They would support more right leaning initiatives like low taxation, free market capitalism, deregulation, but also possibly some left leaning initiatives like legalized marijuana, and generally be against regulation on abortions, gender affirming care, etc.

That’s just in theory. Many people use the term when they don’t fully embody it’s values. I have heard people self identify as libertarian while basically being far right (to be fair, 2016 trump did appeal to anti-establishment voters which includes libertarians). It can also be used incorrectly to mean “right wing voter who doesn’t like trump so doesn’t want to be called Republican/fascist but still supports many conservative ideologies”.

I don’t have much insight into other country libertarian parties, other than I believe it is considered fairly centrist in most cases.

Disco Elysium can totally be pacifist

Our office allowed voting to elect a committee to determine what return to office should look like. I was elected to it. They also hired external contractors to mediate basically. Some people came into it thinking everyone should go back to office, but by the end of it we settled that being in office should be required for certain types of work activities and not for others, and apart from the required activities for in office employees could be wherever. We drafted this up into a formalized agreement and everyone was happy with it.

Then the president who did that program retired and the new guy immediately scrapped the whole thing and forced everyone back into the office overnight without any discussion from the committee or other employees.

If you like portal you may also like superliminal. It’s the only game I’ve found that scratches the similar itch
