I keep getting housed and my villagers are all chopping wood instead of killing boars and working farms. A man on a horse just came by and I know 30 men with clubs are gonna come beat my ass in about 10 minutes. 11
His wife’s dead and now he’s Cranking Kong
The Bistromath from hitchhikers guide, best ship ever.
I would name mine something shitposty like Sink’r’Swim

Shining Force! A TTRPG from 1992. The music and character design are really about a decade ahead of everything else that was available then. If you level one of your characters up to lv 10, you can “evolve” them into a different sprite that lets them wield better gear. This was my comfort game growing up, and was remastered for GBA in 2004. If you like it, don’t play the prequel, only the sequel.
I think it’s just a game cashing in on people who haven’t played Nintendo games. For these people the gameplay loop is something new.
I have seen a few locations that are just straight up dark souls/elden ring locations, made just different enough to get past laws.
A consideration is it will make game devs argue to be able to patent (I’m not a lawyer parasite idk the right word) game mechanics more harshly. You know capitalists would love to be able to sue the pants off any other game that competes with them in the same genre by saying “your health bar/ sword looks too similar to ours, pay up”
I’ve always argued that it also depended on your economic upbringing. I’m right on the cusp of millennial, but my parents couldn’t afford internet until my junior year of high school. Yeah, the internet existed but it might as well not have, outside of someone bringing halo to school on a usb I missed most of it.
My mother always said that if people bled from their eyes or had massive losses of weight it might work. Might.
I kind of see what she means, but I think they’d kill us all for the economy rather than shut down again.
I NOMINATE THE GRINCH!
For getting an emoji.
Set sexuality is my initial preference. Games that handle this topic like Skyrim and Baldur’s Gate 3 don’t really have a lot to say about specific sexualities queer experiences, because they don’t want to alienate/make the player feel left out. One of the tweets mentions dragon age which is where I felt seen and heard for the first time. Another comment mentions it but in a game with well defined characters who have queer identities I can understand and want there to be restrictions. To say otherwise would be inauthentic to the story you’re trying to tell.
I am one of those weirdos, I guess. 3 has better tone and also I get to go John Brown on slavers
