This reminds me of Ursula Le Guin’s “bag theory”: that the first tool humans developed, was not a weapon which is usually taught, like a spear, but rather, a bag, to carry things: for example for berries we picked. A nice reframe from the violent status quo.

If you mean the definite form, then no, Polish doesn’t have it. Learning English as a kid was difficult because no teacher could explain it to me in an understandable way.

I’ve been learning a little Romanian lately though and it is there. Romanian is such a weird language. The vocabulary is like a mixture of five other languages, the grammar has gendered words and conjugations, yet it has a strict word order, unlike Polish that thanks to the complex grammar allows for very free reordering.

From now on I’m calling my girlfriend “my microscopic mite”

It was fun, I liked it a lot. I played the old demo (I think it was the Griffin temple?) and liked it, I also wrote some feedback back then. The graphics and music are very cool and cozy, I like the variety of environments, and the combat is pretty easy but feels nice and cool. I like the bosses (both here and in the old demo) not having a huge variety of movesets, this might be “simple” but well done.

The only comment I have is the platforming (again…), I feel timing the jumps gets a bit weird sometimes and I keep falling in. Might be a skill issue on my part though.

Also, I played on Linux, and it ran flawlessly.

Autocannon to Full armor is actually a downgrade, you should never buy that tech in competitive play. You lose too much mobility and fire rate for what, an extra +2 pierce armor? What a joke. But the rocket path is crazy overpowered, despite only two tiers

This is exactly my take on Severance as well. I really loved S1 but got bored out of my mind and straight up frustrated with S2.

The biggest problem with AC Shadows is the perfect Japanese Assassin’s Creed game already came out. This studio called Mimimi Productions (two words, pronounced phonetically) came out of nowhere in 2016 and released this game called Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, then just dipped off the face of the earth.

It does everything an assassin’s creed game does, but better. And no one knows where they came from or has heard from them since.

Okay but for real Shadow Tactics is great, even if not really like AC. It’s more like a feudal Japan Commandos game.

There are a few ML parties in Europe that have technically participated in elections (though more as an instrument of agitprop rather that to actually win), I bet they are referencing those and not just being a lib

You’re right on the money there’s already a lot of focus on “poor isolated white swedes”, nothing on the fash narratives soaking every corner of society

They are machines, so I rage against them

I have zero media literacy

Tyranny felt so fresh because of it, as it was something like 10-15h if I remember correctly.

what the fuck, I thought at least cars were affordable in the US.

I live in europe and my (used) car from 2010 cost me $4k and required zero additional maintenance, it just works perfectly and has been for over a year now, and is comfortable as shit too. And if I lived in the city, I wouldn’t even need a car bc transit is fine in most places here

My favorite prefix will always be exa. Mostly because of a sci-fi book where one character called himself Exa and there were a few subtle puns with that name (like getting obliterated with a 10^18 W laser)

Amazing game, but I never finished it. I should probably replay it, I need the emotional cleansing it brought me (going through a serious breakup rn). The hedgehog lady made me weep for hours.

If I remember correctly, the screenshot is from the lioness questline (I don’t remember the names of any characters).

Yeah it’s racism. Look at any of those “woke politics destroying games” lists and it’s mostly just black women being prominent characters in any way

yeah but absolutely not from an FPS lol

One thing I actually enjoy in many modern shooters is the iron sights mechanic. Even if it doesn’t change much, it just feels so cool to have an extra step when aiming, and I miss that in older games. I grew up on Doom, Blood and DN3D but aiming down your gun is just rad as hell

And also, no shooter has ever surpassed Stalker Call of Pripyat for me. That was literally the best FPS I’ve ever played

The caves of Barcelona yearn for billionaire flesh

I think this honestly is a fairly new culture war phenomenon anyway, that only came about around the gamergate era. I don’t remember anybody complaining about games with women or minority protags before that, and while scarce, they existed and many of them were hits.

I’m conflicted bc I’m vegan too but I also love rats enjoying themselves (I take care of a mischief) and could see myself build cars for them lol

but yeah the experiment probably ended with the poor souls being killed off bc science still hasn’t found a way of keeping them alive I guess. I’m friends with a rescue group and it’s literally illegal for labs to give away animals after experiments, no matter if it’s non-invasive behavioural shit, they need to be killed. The group does some backroom deals to get the rodents out

death to SScientists I guess

also the rats in the thread pic look like one of ours, Jelly (and two previous, Soy and Peanut)
