RPG Villain: Does the most heinous shit imaginable to establish themselves and inspire hatred from the player.

The character, an absolute cinnamon roll (who's probably smashed or high as balls): ok

But enough about my hippie Khajiit Nerevarine facing down Dagoth Ur.

Not for this game but I definitely can relate. I've bought a few games after listening to their OSTs and liking what I heard.

 

I'm talking about Arzette: Jewel of Faramore. I actually liked it a lot.

It's not amazing but it does what it sets out to do superbly, with maybe a couple kinks here and there. If you're looking for an action platformer on the easier side, then it's serviceable, but I wouldn't sell it on that. It's definitely a game where "greater than the sum of its parts" is an apt description.

It goes on sale fairly regularly for $10 on Steam, and it just hit GOG where it could go for a similar price. Else, you could try it when you're a little MMM richer.

While I agree, it's just another thing to emphasize just how out of touch these ghouls are.

I'd like to say that other universities might learn from this but nah.

A lot more emphasis on crew. They're easier to acquire but also more fragile and prone to dying if you're not careful.

Runs are still centered around defeating a final boss but the game is a lot more freeform/customizable and less punishing overall, at least on Torment 1 (compared to the "easiest" difficulty in FTL). You need to make your way to the final "ship" but there's less pressure since you aren't being hunted down by a pursuing fleet like in FTL.

This isn't to say Void War "beats" FTL nor does it need to. It just has its own identity which I found refreshing as opposed to just playing another copy.

 

As someone who has sunk a lot of hours into FTL over the past decade, I can tell you this game is a lot more than just an uninspired FTL clone with a grimdark make-over, though admittedly the devs could have put in more effort into the presentation. Thankfully there's a demo so you don't need to take my word for it.

It's especially annoying when talking about imperialism, labor aristocracy and settler-colonialism. Many "leftists" have a hard time with nuance and understanding what "contradiction" means, I found.

Had a hard time holding it in after seeing the gay monster trucks shoot "STDs".

I don't blame anyone for being depressed but this reminds me why I so, so hate the liberal notion of "shared human guilt" which just lends itself to misanthropy (and also indirectly absolves the actual bad actors). It's only natural if you subscribe to "naturalistic" explanations for why the world is the way it is, I suppose.

Do you have Legacy of the Dragonborn? I've been a fan of using console commands to add to the museum what I've done in other playthroughs as a sort of NG+ mechanic.

For quest mods, I'd recommend Beyond Reach if you haven't played it. A dark fantasy questline written by Marxists that fits in beautifully into the world of TES.

Working on Main and MG questlines in Oblivion Remastered. Then I'll do the SI expansion and "retire" my Hero of Kvatch-turned-Madgod (at least until Beth adds official mod support and people start making quest mods).

That's exactly how I felt when I played P3R, as someone who last beat it back in... 2014. They kept it the same but perfected the visuals, improved the QoL dramatically and had a lot of unnecessary fat trimmed, particularly from the dungeon crawling aspect.

The rework of Mass Destruction seems to be polarizing but I absolutely fw It's Going Down Now (I just wish it played at a 50% chance instead of every time you get the battle advantage).

Tangentially-related, I was thinking about actually getting into ESO (instead of just obsessively skimming the lore) now that I have a decent amount of disk space and have been in need of a TES fix since Oblivion Remastered. I even got the Roads to Power DLC for CK3 so I can play an adventurer in Elder Kings.
