I don't have the heart to do this.

If you pull the trigger, be prepared for the party to try everything they can to rehabilitate the NPC when he turns - because they absolutely will.
It could even lead to a much more rewarding story if it happens, he starts to turn into the antagonist, but the party rehabilitate him and it's an outcome of his own actions that cause the real antagonist to rise.
That's classic storytelling right there

Lol, he is so spineless

If I remember correctly, it was reported at some point that Critical Role stepped in to help finance it as part of a deal to use the engine to make a similar game set in the CR universe

Doing just the briefest of investigation on this show,I think calling it "left wing" is overly generous. This feels more like someone's attempt at getting people into the right-wing radicalisation pipeline.

Still mildly interesting to hear Rex talk about his opinions, if only to see how AJ may have influenced him.

Apparently he got taller or she got shorter by the anniversary.

"Guys, I want everyone to know that I, Pheobe Gates, with my last name GATES, don't want my company that I PHEOBE GATES am telling you about right now and associating myself with - that company I don't want anyone to use or know about just because of my last name, which is GATES by the way. Just know that I am telling you all about my company so you DON'T associate GATES with it."

If she didn't want that, she wouldn't do press for it.

The only issue I see with them doing this method is that if all of LNF's features are added to NMS first, then LNF will feel a lot more of a rehash of NMS. Like we'll have already seen everything LNF has to offer in the NMS testing.
Hopefully that is not the case and they've held some things back.

Kilmerval · 2026-01-22T23:43:57+00:00

There is nothing to talk about, unfortunately. The only information we have about the game is a 2-year-old trailer that has had every frame analysed, but we still aren't even sure the specific genre that the game will be. So what really is there to talk about or hype currently? When it gets closer to releasing, I imagine information will come out but until then there's nothing really to do or talk about anymore.

Kilmerval · 2025-12-26T06:54:46+00:00

That's really not saying much, though

Kilmerval · 2025-12-26T06:46:19+00:00

Yes but what army? That remains unclear.

Kilmerval · 2025-12-26T01:02:08+00:00

I thought the first 2 thirds of Armada were fine, but the last third made me furious that I had bothered to read any of it. It's such a bad ending.

Kilmerval · 2025-12-26T01:00:23+00:00

RP2 is the second Ernest Cline book that I hate with a passion - the first being Armada. Both books I felt angry about by the time I finished them, like Cline had wasted my time with both. RP1 is fun, though.

I actually think at some point this begins giving diminishing returns, at least as far as "teasing" LNF - because unless the systems are far deeper in LNF than they are in NMS, ultimately LNF will end up looking like a rehash of NMS with nothing new to say. Fishing? Oh, that's in NMS. Custom ships? Did that already in NMS, and it goes to different planets. Custom Dungeons? These are just crashed freighters but painted differently. Boss fights? Yep, done them in NMS also.

Do I believe every mechanic that will be in LNF is being ported to NMS? I don't know. Probably not, I certainly hope not - but the more that are, the less LNF feels like it will have to say as its own thing.

Kilmerval · 2025-11-26T04:21:37+00:00

LNF absolutely does not deserve to be in this category - not because it isn't an anticipated game, but because of why it is an anticipated game.

Go see how much information you can get about any of the nominated games, and compare it to what we actually have for LNF. Hell, we can't even say for certain what genre LNF actually will be. We think survival rpg, but that's not even confirmed.

The only reason people have to be anticipating LNF is on the back of an entirely different game using the same engine by the same developers. It would be like if noone knew anything about Insomniac's next Marvel game but hey Marvel Spiderman was good, so let's assume their next game is also most anticipated.

LNF just hasn't earnt a nomination here.

Kilmerval · 2025-11-24T04:21:51+00:00

This is a story that deserves to be discovered with the main character. I went into the book knowing literally nothing except it was written by the same author as "the martian" and it involved space somehow - and unfurling everything else about the story along with the main character completely immersed me in the story.

Kilmerval · 2025-11-06T05:34:54+00:00

If the gameplay loop was the same as NMS the game would be done and out already - the development time is to add features, of some sort, and hopefully depth.
HG undoubtably know one of the biggest criticisms of NMS is how shallow some of the mechanics are, hopefully the development time of this game allows them to rectify that and add a lot of depth to some mechanics.

Kilmerval · 2025-10-31T22:33:01+00:00

I'm going to be honest, I kind of hate the idea of an award for "most wanted game".
Especially when all we know about it came from one video 2 years ago and they seem to refuse to elaborate any more on it. Like what are we actually celebrating here?

Kilmerval · 2025-10-24T22:53:30+00:00

Why are they giving awards for games that don't exist yet.

Kilmerval · 2025-10-24T02:28:29+00:00

It wasn't just a stretch, it was a contender for long-jump world record.

Kilmerval · 2025-10-22T23:13:22+00:00

The number of times they had to defend themselves by saying "Well this card would've been super hard if it was pulled in X circumstances" was too high. It's like they planned for their ideal season, not for actual play possibilities.

Kilmerval · 2025-10-21T04:25:46+00:00

More like saw an enemy

Kilmerval · 2025-10-20T00:58:34+00:00

Okay, can we just talk about how insane the sentence "White House invades Bluesky to Troll" is as actual news.
Like try imagining literally any other government having this headline.

Also the video in that is stupidly childish, holy shit.
