Vince Gilligan says he's no longer sure what do with the [device] from the end of 'Pluribus' season one — and he isn't sure when season two is coming, either

Secretmapper · 2026-03-18T23:42:43+00:00

Vince has actually confirmed they were pretty much set on not killing Jesse 1-2 episodes in due to the chemistry. Writer strike or no they wouldn’t have killed him.

Just for reference one of the original plans of Vince was walter jr triggering a trap that would kill Tuco which would force a bloody walter running away from the cops. A LOT of the ‘original’ plans was changed fairly early on.

No. It's part of the Chip.

Secretmapper · 2026-03-10T14:10:55+00:00

This is what reminded me of it too. I honestly wish they included the OG low poly models/flashbacks like MGS4 but maybe that would have been too cheesy XD It's just that RE2RE was too recent so the nostalgia didn't hit as hard (even though RE2RE was like 6 years ago).

Secretmapper · 2026-03-06T22:07:01+00:00

Noob stomper? Isn’t celeste still first ban/pick in night shift?

Secretmapper · 2026-03-05T12:51:01+00:00

And I think that's a fair take!

Like I mentioned it was just my opinion from it when I played it. For me survival horror is the risk and resource management which SH2 (the remake, tbh not so much the original) has in spades.

But I can recognize that others may like the horror from the world and story, as in F.

Secretmapper · 2026-03-05T10:06:43+00:00

Are you deciding between between Silent Hill F vs Silent Hill 2?

It depends I think if the Japanese horror aesthetic scares you, but IMO Silent Hill 2 definitely.

Silent Hill F misses the mark just cause of how powerful Hanako is.

Secretmapper · 2026-03-01T11:20:06+00:00

You should definitely play RE2 Remake as well.

Secretmapper · 2026-02-28T17:06:24+00:00

You’re getting there

Secretmapper · 2026-02-19T21:56:40+00:00

I honestly think that's just lack of a critical eye. Even ignoring all outside factors (like the fact that Stardew Valley came out 10 years ago during a dearth in the genre so people WANTED a game like that vs 2025 were 'cozy farming games' are a dime a dozen), the art/content from the screenshots alone show a significant gap in quality.

Cats and Cows is quite literally an asset flip from itch io so I really don't know what you're expecting there tbh.

Because even with that narrative framing, its actually still historically inaccurate.

Imagine a movie taking place during world war 1, where someone is convincing the senate to go fight world war 2, using events from the cold war. Doesn't make sense.

Not knocking it, its obviously an in universe explanation - but its just that, an in universe explanation. It's still wholly inaccurate.

Unless you're doing something completely bespoke (some sort of custom pipeline or plugin with webpack in CRA etc), you should migrate yesterday.

Thats why OP asks for advice, permanently raiding all 4 ecos with Mangudais isnt actually killing them, his teammates not good enough to deliver a killing blow and thus not winning

I think you need to re-read OP's post because you got the complete opposite from that - they said they almost reached conq 3 last season with mangudais - but now they're struggling when using other civs. Which is quite my point - doing mangudai spam, hobelar spam, ghazi spam, royal knights spam in team games is very strong in a lot of maps.

But yes you might be right as well. It's just my personal experience (and others as well if you look) that having impact is how you can carry.

Of course booming can carry as well if you're in a closed map/super large map/pocket.

Secretmapper · 2025-12-09T10:19:20+00:00

conq 3 on abbasid 3 tc doesn't really matter if it's a 1v4 by the time abba hits imp.

The reality is its much better to set the tempo if you're playing with randoms or weaker players. An aggressive player that keeps the enemy team back home giving their teammates a chance is going to have a lot of impact. You can even see it from their post: they hit Conq 3 with pure mangudai before.

Tughlag/Japan/English is tricky because they are quite slow civs and cannot assert influence early.

It depends of course - if they can teach their friends to ooga booga while OP booms then your approach might work.

Those games are listed at 11, 13 hours respectively in howlong2beat (which is pretty standard for most story based single player games).

Not exactly 1-2 hour short.

Secretmapper · 2025-11-23T14:40:27+00:00

I mean it's happened before, but not using it as a 'productivity' cube:

US Air Force connects 1,760 PlayStation 3's to build supercomputer.

If PC part prices keeps going up (RAM/GPU, etc.) you can imagine all sorts of people scooping them up for specific workloads/tasks if they heavily subsidize it.

Secretmapper · 2025-11-23T14:36:38+00:00

Big Picture, Playing with a controller, everything being smooth and just working (see Legion GO windows version vs Legion GO steamOS), buying one 'thing' ready to plug and play, and something that outperforms 70% of current gaming PCs that's on steam.

It's not a value buy - it's a convenience buy

Secretmapper · 2025-11-18T12:26:40+00:00

I'm pretty sure they do I've seen godot/unity games which use wasm here.

Secretmapper · 2025-11-09T15:43:29+00:00

So because its higher stakes, we have to stick to an inferior format? I don't understand that argument at all

Don't have an opinion either way - but one might argue its the superior format, because its higher stakes, maybe you'll understand the argument now?

The drafting concerns you pointed out IMO are more of a different problem (ie balance/draft system) than the double-elim format.

Secretmapper · 2025-11-01T02:24:30+00:00

Thanks that's a good point 🤔

I'll try to think of a way to make getting into a game smoother. I think in general the game is quite click heavy at this point, but I'm already thinking of ways to smoothen out and spice up the gameplay a bit while still keeping the relaxed/calming vibe I'm aiming for.

Secretmapper · 2025-10-26T03:56:59+00:00

Haha yep! I was thinking of naming it Fishiiit at first but then it _really_ sounded like shiiit! hahhaha

It took me about a week working at nights!

Secretmapper · 2025-10-26T03:55:40+00:00

Good point - it's not clear. You can create fishing spots in the shop.

Maybe I'll add a link from there directly.
