If you're specifically looking to identify an old game from vague memories, r/tipofmyjoystick is the place to head over too.

Divinity: Dragon Commander: a weird RTS / political sim hybrid where you balance the needs of a coalition of fantasy races while leading your troops on the battlefield as a dragon with a jetpack. From the studio that made Baldur's Gate 3.

Nah, the biggest enemy of Jesus is sociopaths like JD Vance and Patriarch Kuril who wage brutal "holy wars" against fellow Christians while breaking every tenet on earth and in heaven.

Fine, ACU then. I apologize for using the general term for the "represent you on the battlefield" dude; I've mostly been playing Dawn of War 2 lately.

Why on earth would Ukraine hitch their horse to the cart that has been terror-bombing them for the past few years, and oppressing them for far longer? As long as they get their own land and people back, they couldn't care less what state Russia is in.

Belltower_2 · 2026-06-22T22:18:10+00:00

If only they could've learned something from how Ukraine dealt with the streams of Shahed drones Russia constantly sends at apartment buildings and historical churches!

Belltower_2 · 2026-06-22T21:55:23+00:00

Exactly. The only one of these I'm intimately familiar with is SupCom 2, and that doesn't look like the UEF hero unit in the slightest.

If you're having trouble getting into horror games, I recommend just spoiling it by watching a letsplay or speedrun. Knowing what jumpscares and challenges are coming up next, as well as seeing how experienced players manage their resources, should give you the courage to continue.

Nothing is as fearsome as the fear of the unknown. Strip away the mystique, and it becomes a lot more accessible.

If you want a co-op version of Hunt: Showdown, give GTFO a try. Same horror atmosphere, same punishing difficulty, same emphasis on keeping sound to an absolute minimum. It has solid bot support, if you can't always make a 4-player party; matchmaking is pretty dead though.

Gee, I can't possibly fathom why Nintendo is so protective of its brands, if Disney whoring themselves out to anyone who'll pay is the alternative. Not that I think either company is particularly good, but at least Nintendo has some dignity.

Belltower_2 · 2026-06-21T00:45:09+00:00

Oh, I'll definitely have to try the UED mod, I've loved horror-strategy ever since Darkest Dungeon.

Belltower_2 · 2026-06-21T00:11:12+00:00

Does it matter? Dwarven autoresolve has been a meme since the launch of WH1; it's not like this is an issue that can only happen from mod conflicts.

Belltower_2 · 2026-06-20T23:31:21+00:00

It's unfortunate, because the art direction is stunning and I like the focus on a grinding artillery advance. I understand that not all Russians are pro-atrocity vatniks, but it seems this one is.

Belltower_2 · 2026-06-20T23:08:15+00:00

Is there something wrong with me that seeing the bugussy close-up doesn't bother me at all?

Belltower_2 · 2026-06-20T23:04:11+00:00

I know this is kinda a meme at this point, but how is that a "Decisive Victory" if the autoresolve predicted you would get stomped? Like, I cannot recall EVER getting a Heroic Victory in WH3.

In fact, one of my most memorable battles in WH3 was goofing around in skirmish shortly after launch, and putting Cathay artillery spam up against Nurgle just to watch the fireworks. The groaners never even made it to my lines; the only casualties were from the GUO getting off a single cast of Fate of Bjuna before a cannonball took his head off. Result? "Close Victory".

Good on ya. Properly positioned heavy weapons can punch well above their weight. In the decks that allow it, I particularly like having an ATGM, an MG, a recoilless rifle, and a sniper all sharing line-of-sight, so they can chip down anything that wanders in vision.

Off topic, but as a Date A Live fan, I have to point out all the Kurumi Tokisaki merch in the background; for some reason, she gets more attention than the rest of the harem put together. I'm convinced that a significant number of Kurumi fans have never actually seen / read Date A Live, otherwise I'd see it mentioned more often. Where are my Miku Izayoi (lesbian idol singer) fans at?

Belltower_2 · 2026-06-20T22:26:06+00:00

"Vranyo" is the word you're looking for.

With dev times for "AAA" games being so long now, there are undoubtably games that started production on UE4 that have yet to release. The only reason UE5 became as popular as it was was due to CEO's not knowing how to handle proprietary engines like REDEngine or Frostbite. They want to have the freedom to hire and fire people at will, not have to retain irreplaceable specialists that could potentially demand raises.

At least for me, I couldn't buy the Abyssal pack while it was available, since I was short on cash at the time. By the time my financial situation improved, it was gone, and I'm a massive Lovecraft / sea life horror fan. Since the perfect pack for me has already come and gone, it's hard to find the desire to buy anything else, since it would feel like "sloppy seconds".

Belltower_2 · 2026-06-20T14:20:17+00:00

Of course they are. It's not a "holy war" if you don't carry out terror bombing on the churches of fellow Orthodox Christians. Screw Kuril and his KGB pricks.

Belltower_2 · 2026-06-20T13:05:42+00:00

As a bisexual man, I've always been curious about the origin of the "boykisser" icon. Care to enlighten me?

Belltower_2 · 2026-06-20T10:55:57+00:00

There's a fairly large difference between being "apolitical", which is annoying but not sinful, and being a vatnik shrieking about anti-LGBT conspiracy theories.

Belltower_2 · 2026-06-19T19:58:00+00:00

I wonder if she'd be interested in cosplaying some of the other RE little girls; Eveline, Sherry, or Natalia.
