And shoves ai both down your throat and up your ass


Under-sell over-sell


I’ve basically just stopped buying AAA games at this point. They are invariably worse quality than indie and AA titles and filled with microtransactions and other predatory bullshit, and the icing on the shit-filled cake is that by buying them you are legitimizing this kind of behavior.
There are just so many good games to play across so many genres that there is no reason whatsoever to buy them, and buying indie games you can feel good about supporting a small dev.
It is especially upsetting to see this news because I remember playing a crapton of Bad Compaby 2 with my friends in school. All of us got BF3 on launch and played it to death. 4 came out and I know people really liked it but to me it wad just an overly streamlined 3, 1 was cool but a bit too arcadey for me, 5 had no soul and 2042 was clearly just a joke. I hate seeing franchises I loved die through corpo bullshit but there’s plenty of other, better, tastier fish in the sea.


It’s kind of like (and this is obviously a departure from the card game genre) Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is considered the ultimate game of the franchise despite their being several proceding iterations after it. I’m even a huge fan of the 2nd one despite it being significantly more minimal. Something about the 2d sprites and was very charming.


I will definitely give those a try. I know that Slay the Spire has been lionized as one of the best card games I just have always hesitated to try it for some reason. But now that 2 is out I’ll definitely be picking it up. Monster Train I am not super familiar with but I will check it out.


Yeah the vibes with Inscryption were just…like it was a card game but I felt legitimately unnerved. The music and the sound effects made me viscerally uncomfortable, and then the way Leshy watched you when you walked around the cabin was creepy as shit.
It kind of opened my eyes to card games in general and (not that I didn’t already know this from games like Disco Elysium, Subnautica, Soma, Outer Wilds, etc.) The fact that smaller budget titles often time were significantly more worthwhile than AAA stuff.


Should I play the first first or is starting with this one ok?
I used to be very anti-card game but Inscryption was very fun and I’m trying to branch out to some stuff outside of my comfort zone. Any other recommendations for card games?


Please please have some protestor shouting that at her it would be amazing


This administration is clearly just projection personified.
“Protect the children” = We are all child rapists “President of Peace” = Starting multiple foreign wars simultaneously “We will make this government the most efficient ever” = We will cut vital programs and agencies that don’t fit our agenda and still balloon spending on complete bullshit
At this point you can literally just take whatever their messaging is and assume they are going to do the exact opposite
Also I almost forgot to mention the corruption “drain the swamp” and the election fraud “stop the steal”. Absolute insanity.


Oh I didn’t realize that. Do you have any links to articles or anything?
I first heard about it on a true crime podcast that I really like (Casual Criminalist, which is incidentally hosted by a British guy) but I didn’t realize that the evidence was being questioned.


That nurse that killed a bunch of newborns would probably be it


The shenanigans likely AI and constant microslop ads


Yeah I think I got Arkham Knight for free and I played it until the first batmobile puzzle then never played it again. It just was not enjoyable


Nj was decent for a while I want to say ~2.50 but now it’s $3 like the article is saying


They have unparalleled cognitive dissonance skills


It’ll be like the tv license inspectors in the UK but they’ll be armed
He is presumably still going to blame the “radical left” and the Biden economy. Everyone will know its complete bullshtit except for his idiot supporters who will eat it up.
