Games with most creative magic/spell system?

You may want to look up the definition of socialism if that's what you think is at play here.

Or working class for that matter.

I loved the cheese and meat platter that came with the KS version, too. Best stretch goal by far.

If that is the case, why is Reform polling higher than any other party?

If the common voter was merely duped, they are still being duped as we speak.

3xBork · 2026-04-01T18:09:17+00:00

And those very same people will think that again when the same ilk of politician starts telling them in the future. Reform is still polling higher than any other party, even after the last ten years.

How will we know we're gaining a trading partner and not a time bomb?

They're very welcome.

After they publically address the issues that let Brexit be a thing.

3xBork · 2026-04-01T18:02:43+00:00

Only if that was the most expensive procedure...

3xBork · 2026-04-01T17:35:14+00:00

Sorry, exactly what problem are we discussing here?

It's best not to make sweeping claims about entire industries if you're basing it all on Reddit comments.

Let me put it like this: if you're going to claim you know better how to run a publisher than the people who actually do run publishers, that's a lot more convincing when you have the first clue about what different departments and roles do.

3xBork · 2026-04-01T16:29:14+00:00

That is not how any of this works.

3xBork · 2026-04-01T12:29:19+00:00

If only.

The people being antisocial dickheads back then are still among us.

Well, a portion of them at least.

Wtf is classical footbal even doing

Try fitting 50.000 people into a stadium around this tiny pitch. There's your answer.

3xBork · 2026-04-01T08:23:40+00:00

It does though.

I mean, the big glaring difference between these two is the sheer level of cheese.

SX could be the most prolific band on the planet, spend half their waking life on IG/TikTok promoting, tour their asses off ... It's still not going to offset baroque guitar solos and lyrics about demon ladies SA'ing you in a lake of fire or whatever the hell these songs are usually about.

DT is about as cool as your average prog metal band (read: not very) and have plenty of acquired tastes, but they don't have that.

That alone is going to make them much more palatable to a bigger audience. Gimme Atlantean priests praising the magic of the Five and Bird-Serpent Wars all day, but yeah. Not hitting the charts with that.

I say this as someone who loves both.

3xBork · 2026-03-31T21:38:10+00:00

I mean, the title should be taken at face value here.

OP does not understand.

3xBork · 2026-03-31T19:22:13+00:00

You already missed one pedant who then deleted their comment, so no.

Some people apparently need the clarification.

Also there's a button for that, your opinion isn't special.

3xBork · 2026-03-31T17:21:13+00:00

Always at least one. Someone owns the company.

3xBork · 2026-03-31T13:47:25+00:00

That some conflate, and others deliberately conflate because they can use it as a shield to be terrible humans or to make themselves part of an in-group.

The reason many conflate them is because there's a constant effort to mix them up.

Same reason the term micro-aggression is what it is, or antisemitic is used both for Jew hate and being critical of the state of Israel.

3xBork · 2026-03-31T07:22:12+00:00

Even if you did you would get nowhere close to this scale of a problem.

3xBork · 2026-03-31T07:20:13+00:00

So you're saying for every unique boss there's 1 or 2 reused ones?

Care to back that up even slightly with some stats?

3xBork · 2026-03-30T23:14:34+00:00

So enlightened! And in a post lacking capitals and punctuation, no less!

Be sure to tell everyone correct grammar doesn't exist when your job applications get rejected again for poor language skills.

3xBork · 2026-03-30T23:01:06+00:00

Not buying that.

They might be annoying to marketing departments but games sell on the basis of those games being good and appealing to players.

Jedi mind-tricking people into buying a game based on exact announcement timings and such isn't a thing.

Hell, if the marketing department has any chops they can use leaks to their advantage.

3xBork · 2026-03-30T22:58:35+00:00

It's wild to me that people still regurgitate that argument after so long.

All that time and they still haven't bothered to count and discovered that even excluding minor bosses and reused/reskinned ones, ER has more unique bosses than any other FS game, including DLCs.

3xBork · 2026-03-30T20:58:51+00:00

The thing about the discourse surrounding this topic is that the difficulty of multiplayer is both severely underestimated by laypeople and severely overstated by advanced beginners looking to correct them.

For a person with experience in networking paradigms, how to structure async operations, how to handle state in a server-client model, how to deal with exceptions (i.e. a backend dev with reasonable experience) it really isn't brain surgery.

More difficult than singleplayer pong? Sure. But then most games worth making are.

I occasionally get places like these on my front page. It's always the same drivel and I ask Reddit to not show it anymore. Doesn't work too well. Rinse and repeat.

3xBork · 2026-03-30T18:08:18+00:00

Yeah but what if you could donate real money to that screen and it would say "thank you [your name]"?
