A member of the Reform party - a party whose every principle, tenet, and policy is based on pure unadulterated racism - said and/or did something racist?

Proton have just announced they’re moving to a nonprofit structure if that makes a difference to you; it sure does to me.

The only option now is to slap an Intel Inside® sticker on your forehead and wait to be backdoored by three-letter agencies. My condolences to you and your back door.

It’s so good for more reasons than just being able to use other mods safely! It’s really nice being able to transition between areas without having to resummon, how some progression/unlocks are shared, and that all connected players get to use Torrent and spirit ashes.

Did you pronounce it such that it would pair nicely with postpita and postolives?

Is one that jumps to mind which I still cock up to this day, I feel a little called out 😂

I’d say

about tree fiddy

but that feels optimistic.

I dunno man, the trumpets still buy whatever shit he shovels out and they don’t seem to have caught on that he’s a scammer yet…

I love your background!

I’m buying this partly because it looks really good, and partly because ThePruld is the cinematic director and that motherfucker is a genius. If anyone has played Dark Souls and not seen We Are The Souls, I can’t recommend it enough. Also check out his other animations, they’re much sillier and the frantic Italian just makes it better.

This news, from January 2024? https://www.pcgamer.com/dark-and-darker-dev-claims-nexons-preliminary-injunction-has-been-dismissed-court-rules-that-the-game-cannot-be-considered-an-infringement-of-nexons-copyright-or-trade-secret/

First reported by TheGamer, a member of Dark and Darker developer Ironmace has stated on the game’s Discord that they have achieved an early victory in staving off Maplestory publisher Nexon’s copyright lawsuit, with a South Korean court dismissing the publisher’s preliminary injunction.

I have to ask, because you didn’t bother to link it and I also had not read the news. Which, believe it or not, isn’t a personal failing.

Hate is a pretty strong emotion. Why do you hate Linus?

If you’re okay with much older titles, Master of Orion 2 has been my go-to 4X for 30 years. It holds up really well.

If you want something a little newer and absolutely brilliant, and you don’t mind sacrificing some 4X for some RPG, you could try Starsector: https://fractalsoftworks.com

Neither of these are particularly similar to the Total War games, though, in case that’s a deal breaker.

Eh, I still wouldn’t call it a scam. Words have meaning and scams are intentional; this team just couldn’t do what they thought they could, and made a mediocre version of what they had planned. Game development is hard. I’ve tried to get started on simple little projects in UE and Unity a couple times, and the furthest I got was a model that could run and jump on an endless procedural landscape (before the game crashed because the map got too big I mean).

So yeah, absolutely call it a bad purchase, but I don’t think it’s fair to say they were out to “scam” anyone. We got a game, and it wasn’t even truly terrible - way better than that Gollum “RPG” for example - it just didn’t live up to the hype, and better games in the genre exist like Grim Dawn, Last Epoch, PoE, etc.

Welp, I backed the wrong horse there. Shoulda bought Last Epoch instead. Or just kept playing Grim Dawn, that game is fifteen years old and still supported by the devs.

Ah, shit. No Rest For The Wicked looks like it could be a phenomenal game at release, but definitely needs more time in the oven. I hope it’ll get the support it deserves when the dust settles.

I wanted to see if the note in the footer was effective: https://chatgpt.com/share/8b29d398-ac5a-475d-89be-244e86e335b5

I am open to suggestions on improving my prompts, if anyone’s got tips!
