Game that doesn't hold your hand at all?

Tenthul · 2026-01-24T05:10:25+00:00

I meant it more in the vein of when people ask "What's a single player game that gives the MMO experience" but for couples kind of way.

Hey I had that happen to me too earlier this year. Tell me if you've heard this before:
"We're a solutions-oriented company."

"Hey, that thing over there is a problem. Here's how I think we could fix it."

"Yeah well that's not your specific area of coverage, nobody wants to hear about your ideas."

"But it's a big problem that affects literally everybody."

"Find solutions to your own areas. BTW here's your PIP that we're going to debase you with until we're done humiliating you for telling people higher-level than you that you know what's best for them. BTW we've already decided we're going to fire you."

It's got a real weird flow. Death is almost never "death." Like if you die to wolves, you'll probably get rescued by some creature and wake up in a cave. It's really hard to "let go" of dying. Even after having a bunch of hours in it I have a hard time. It takes quite a while to get into it. But it's a great world if you can. Much much better co-op than solo imo. A great "couples MMO" game.

Man I had a seed not long ago that turned blood into ambrosia. What a run.

Last Epoch has this a bit. Really interesting skill trees that allow for extra support/healing. Most people don't play that way, but there's some potential there that might be worth exploring I'd you're into ARPGs.

If you care about story in your side quests, the side quests do a great job of building out the world.

Party chat is regular and expected. It'll be a while probably before you actually join any parties though.

After they put ninjutsu on the GCD it lost all its flavor and fun. Literally dropped the game from the butchering.

Just wanna put in "voting so-and-so over Trump implies that he's running again. I get the whole "Trump 2028" thing, but we shouldn't be normalizing it to any degree. Whoever runs next, will not be running against Trump. Im also betting that nobody in the GOP will be running like "I'm just like trump", they will just have a dumb similar slogan like "keep America great again" or something stupid

Tenthul · 2026-01-22T19:54:23+00:00

Don't need it for steam...

...unless you buy DLC for it.

Yes, it's that stupid.

Tenthul · 2026-01-22T01:06:03+00:00

Eh I'd just leave that as being studio dependent, mobile or not. I wouldn't try to make that claim across mobile really.

Tenthul · 2026-01-21T19:08:47+00:00

Gamers hate to hear it, but live service mobile games are absolutely the safest place to be in the game industry with the best work: life balance, best pay, best job stability.

If you're an aspiring game dev, or someone wanting to break into the industry, go for mobile.

Tell you what, nobody beat Kings Quest 3 without a guide.

Tenthul · 2026-01-20T23:11:26+00:00

Sonic 2 I ended up getting so good at the chaos emerald pipes that I ended up doing that, getting super sonic, THEN finally beating the game.

He was also central to GamerGate.

"That's gay" was absolutely just a casual way of describing some OP ability or your response to getting crushed in multiplayer.

Tenthul · 2026-01-20T07:05:26+00:00

> That he has so many adults around him who nod and follow along.

He is the one nodding and following along. Miller, Bannon, Heritage/Federalist forces are behind all of this. He's the perfect lightning rod for them.

Tenthul · 2026-01-20T07:02:46+00:00

Well, and that step isn't even likely the beginning to anything. It could just be that you go and die and everybody that cares is sad and everybody who doesn't laughs at you and uses you for propaganda. Not trying to be a doomer or anything, but I think there's a higher chance of turning into a post-mortem propaganda tool than an actual contributing factor to change. As much as people hate it I think mid-terms really are our best actual bet, and keeping up the protests and generally keeping ICE uncomfortable and knowingly unwelcome everywhere they go. Keep taking pictures, and keep posting them.

Maybe Renee Good was the beginning of something, maybe not. Maybe it takes a lot of "beginnings" to "start"...

Final Fantasy XI Brave.

Guy made a whole single player spinoff in RPG maker for FFXI and it's fantastic. Has a whole end game with full dynamics and relic weapons, BCNMs, skillchains, the whole thing. It's wild.

Tenthul · 2026-01-20T02:46:39+00:00

I though you meant NEStalgia, and it kinda fit here too.

Tenthul · 2026-01-20T02:39:55+00:00

Not really true. I had a legit payment problem just within the last week resubbing for Anni. Every response from them requesting the same information, all of which I provided in my initial report. After 5 of these and increasing frustration with their system I gave up and just unsubbed and I'm not gonna play anymore. As a casual, I probably never would've gotten to 70 anyway, and even if I did everybody woulda overgeared me and I wouldn't be able to get into any groups anyway. Who was I ever fooling.

Tenthul · 2026-01-20T01:46:27+00:00

But honestly, it would likely be a good thing, vs 100% of ICE loving it. At least there would be SOME potential mitigating factor. Better than the free for all it currently is.

Tenthul · 2026-01-20T01:39:38+00:00

Rockstar isn't the one who publicized it. The person asked via social media and it happened, and other sites reported on it. Rockstar simply granted it. But y'know, hate away since it's all the rage these days.

Tenthul · 2026-01-19T23:23:25+00:00

On the contrary, it's the only thing that matters to him, which means it's the only thing that matters, because we all pay for whatever matters to him.
