The correct response by his soldiers would probably be "Is that some form of political system?" with a "qui aff/neg?" thrown in there if I remember my weird battletech clanner language right.

Hi Fi RUSH is insanely good and it is darkly hilarious that shortly after Microsoft obliterated Tango they said they need more small scale but high profile releases that win awards.

You know for the longest time I wondered what would have happened if the clans actually managed to take over Luthien, would it have made a difference in the long run since the clanners were supposed to have terrible logistics anyway? But then Kurita managed to take over Davion's capitol in the new lore and apparently that kinda doesn't matter much since they lost it again in like five years.

I was going to say the Word of Blake might be the other most hated faction except they somehow had some other factions and mercs rooting for them for a bit even as they literally nuked entire planets.

But there actually was a game about them as the antagonists at some point, but you'd be forgiven for not remembering it because it was kinda out there.

Edit: Hah, the achievement called Privatized Healthcare in Galacticare reads as follows:

"Space has, in fact, been corrupted by capitalism."

They had to offset their losses from buying ActiBlizz (and immediately torpedoing all the potential income from this purchase by making codblops a day-one gamepass release lmao); they intentionally ratfucked Tango by releasing hifi rush with ZERO advertising because they thought it was going to bomb, then, oops! Hifi becomes a sleeper hit, wins a bunch of awards, and the studio is closed anyway

Number go up, the c suites all get their quarterly bonuses, and the world gets a little worse overall.

I remembering checking out all these free black and white video games on these CDs on my family's Macintosh growing up.

If the screen turned black as the game started up, you knew you in for some kickass graphics (since most games just opened in little windows and were monochrome).

I miss that computer. Mom still used it for her teaching materials until sometime after I graduated college (so I think at least until like 2010).

Having gone through the Womb and what came immediately after, this is deeply troubling news.

Kingmaker continues to be really good though. The kingdom management and adventuring both feeding into each other works very well and makes both systems feel meaningful.

if you haven't already then check out wotr when you're done. the actual crpg aspect of the game is signficantly improved and its bullshit singularity is much more localized to one optional area

the jokerless challenge in balatro is bullshit

it's pretty much just laser-focus on getting enough planet cards for your preferred 5-card hand (or 4 of a kind) and hoping you don't get bad luck.

totally pointless to do but whatever I'll keep playing that garbage

WotR is the library, but I wanted to knock out Kingmaker first because everything I read was that playing WotR first would make going back really hard.

idk about that they're basically very different campaigns using the same system. wotr just has a lot more polish thanks to the lessons learned

I've done every mythic path except legend and going forward I'll probably do replays with all the dlc that's released since. great game, got about 1100 hours on it

Yeah I got Kingmaker free off of epic a while back so I am trying that out finally. Got bad decision paralysis every time I level up though.

definitely follow some build guides your first time through imo. for wotr I highly recommend this guy who has some rock solid builds and advice and really knows the system:

Going to plug this random guy from the GoG forums again for Kingmaker. He has a good spread of builds for races and playstyles. Also has builds for most, but not all, of the companions. Best of all, they're all in text form so you don't have to watch a twenty-minute video.

even though it's a video the guy I linked talks through each step of his builds, explaining why he picked everything in a very accessible manner. I think he's great for helping new people come to grips with the system
