I played through it again a couple months ago but when I went to check the DLC it looks like they haven’t ever done more than 35% discount even though they came out in 2017 and 2019. Meanwhile the base game has done 90% off in the past (also the current price). Guess they figure if you like it enough to go looking for DLC you’ll probably pay more.

Recently, some doom mod

I just wasn’t sure if reagan did anything with HS budgets and how that connected with college prices. That guy was such a cancer on the country. Maybe we should just stop electing shitty actors altogether

secondary --> tertiary?

If only it wasn’t asset flip jank

Looks like my s10 won’t run it either unfortunately

in that case I’m nominating doom haha

Doncha like the 'do?

all too typical a path these days, unfortunately

The narration from that video has a poetic bent

I wake to the warmth of the waxing salt sun, and before I draw breath it sidewinds to the beetle moon. I muse on my many selves, think of the jewels I’ve loosened from the lime, and all the myriad forms space and time have lathed me to. I dream of the sky shelf and its cosmic tilt, the movers that ferried strangers across stellar gulfs and toward their numinous ends. The earth falls away to light and dust, and I dream no more. Now we become the specters that peopled the Caves of Qud.

Yeah it looks fun but I’m worried the learning curve is a little too steep to approach casually. I could see getting into it but it’d have to be at a time when I could really sink some hours into gaming time, like during some holidays or something.

What’s the deal with him? I think the only vid I’ve ever seen from him is the sword video linked above

I wonder what separates games from movies as disposable media, especially with games that are meant to be cinematic/telling a story. Like Spec Ops is loosely based on Heart of Darkness and has a strong narrative, but without that is just a sort of middling shooter. So once you know the story it doesn’t have a ton of replayability, but it’s still impactful in the way a good movie is.

Why not the free weekly epic giveaways as well? There have been some good games for free in the past

It’s cool watching people of different skill levels than you, not just the pros I think. Also when people take on challenges that take a long time, you can kind of skip through the vid at your leisure.

Plus sometimes you just don’t have the energy to game. It’s like Matt Groening said in that old Life is Hell comic (although about tv): Why is tv the best pal of all? When you’re tired, tv does the playing for you.

haven’t played it-- how do the mechanics change with the story?

sorry, badly phrased-- I was trying not to give away the mechanic. In the game the literal controls on your keyboard/controller get altered in order to advance the story

Maybe literally the only game that’s ever done storytelling through gameplay mechanics-- really cool concept

I believe it’s ghoti
