Yeah. I've definitely had people complain to me about Homeworld 2 just loving up your whole campaign if you have a bad level. I guess that's why they had the option of having "Default Fleets" on each level in this one. And yeah, radio chatter is one of the defining parts of the series.

Everybody has weird audio things caught in their heads forever from games, and one of mine from whichever Homeworld is just "Frigate lost". Probably says something about how many frigates I lost too.

My weird, stuck in my head audio cues are "Your creatures are dying" and "Ergo, we have been defeated" from sacrifice

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.

I don't need to have beaten Hand of Fate 1 to get the most out of the sequel, do I?

Dunno, never played the first one and had a blast with 2. A couple of times the dealer guy said something that might’ve been references to the first game but I couldn’t tell you for sure

Watching a stream of Xenoblade 2 and wow they really went all in one the anime. I didn't expect wacky noises in cutscenes along with cartoony expressions.

The game is kind of a mess but it's a bloated monstrosity of mechanics aesthetics and character design that feels like a relic of the ps1 era. I think I love it

Its amazing. My big gripes are it takes like 20 hours to get to use all the mechanics and the map sucks but otherwise i cant put it down. Even the over long cutscenes are either real funny or epic as hell

Cyber Sleuth is great, though the sequel's out in January and I think is supposed to retell the original's events too.

You can play through the campaign pretty quickly but completing it unlocks three different sets of optional objectives for every mission.

The thrill of gambling I guess. It feels cool if you get something rare from a "common" item but if you actually want to get specific stuff its really annoying.

I've been playing Destiny 2 and it is really quite a lot of fun. I'm around 230 light level right now and am sure it will stop being interesting eventually but for the moment I'm enjoying shooting aliens and getting 2-3 cool looking cosmetics a night.

Baffles me the amount of rage that has been directed at that game on the internet.

I'm pretty sure one of the things people were specifically pissed about Destiny 2 was Bungie lying about the exp you were being given to force you into more grinding or something.

Any of you remember that old flash fmv game where you were at a convenience store and had to type stuff at the owner and he'd do stuff and occasionally you'd type the right thing and he'd give you a pringles can?

I found a few mentions of it, it's called nevashut, but near as I can tell there aren't any places hosting the game anymore and all that exists are screenshots, no videos. What a shame.

I am really loving Tannenburg, it's a rad multiplayer World War 1 shooter where almost everyone is stuck with bolt action rifles and the action is really fun in a "conquer the map" style way where if you get in the right position as waves of infantry charge past you, you can pick off the enemies trying to stop them and the thrill of cycling the bolt and loading in a fresh clip is a ton of fun. I got to be a Squad Leader for a bit and it's a lot of fun to realize you're the last guy standing, so you call in an artillery strike on your position and then immediately run for your life! Many free kills that way.
