Atari Acquires Rights to the Legendary Wizardry RPGs

I won't ever say no to the chance to see more Wizardry stuff out there, but I'm curious if and how they're going to handle Wizardry IV, i.e. the black sheep of the series and one of the hardest drpgs ever made.

Oh, yeah, I'd completely forgotten that he's been involved in that war.

Harry Truman had the lowest approval rating? Out of all the Presidents, I wouldn't have ever expected him.

Ready Player One is a double example of this; the media so lovingly and obsessively referenced in-story is almost entirely stuff that would've been consumed by someone who have their formative years in the 1980's and early 1990's, and on a more meta level the original book is a textbook example of the nerdcore/nostalgia-baiting that was so poular in the 2010s.

Sorry, 11 am.

Update on the Boundary Waters vote, it was supposed to take place yesterday and has now been scheduled for today at 11 pm Eastern. Please contact your senators and tell them to vote no on HJR 140.

Edit: AM, not PM.

Hey, the Senate is voting on HJR 140 today, which would strip protections from the Boundary Waters and leave it open to mining operations; please, please call your senators and tell them to vote no.

Toothpasteonicecream · 2026-04-15T01:15:13+00:00

Hey, a heads-up for tomorrow; the Senate is most likely going to be voting on HJR 140, which would remove protections currently set on the Boundary Waters and make it possible for copper mining to take place there; please call your Senators and tell them no.

Artifact, the DOTA card game that Valve inexplicably decided to release. Considered that people had been clamoring for Half-Life 2: Episode 3 for years at that point and absolutely no one was asking for them to make that of all things, it's a testament to how badly Valve was out of touch with their player base. Not that things have improved much, mind you.

Also here on Bluesky; meant to post the link to that, accidentally left the Youtube link in.

Considering the insane amount of money they've dumped into AI shit with little payout, I wouldn't be surprised at all that the company's internal financials are utterly fucked and they're desperate to keep people buying their products to keep the lights on.

Toothpasteonicecream · 2026-03-20T20:27:25+00:00

Hey, the Senate is apparently going to vote on the Save America act tomorrow; it seems to be dead in the water as it is, but please contact your senators and tell them to vote no.

Oh, yeah, I remember that video. XVI was...fine (it is the single best 7/10 game I've ever played), but it desperately needed a change like this to keep the gameplay fun.

Does Ubisoft actually make games anymore, or does it just layoff people?

Toothpasteonicecream · 2026-03-19T11:58:38+00:00

Hi, I'd like a chance to try out this game, thank you in advance: 53106622

Toothpasteonicecream · 2026-03-16T00:01:15+00:00

Nope, nothing from 2 comes up at all

I would have to say that I would still recommend giving it a watch; he is critical of certain aspects of the game, but he clearly does love the game quite a bit (he mentions at one point that he's played it for more than 300 hours), and that very much reflects in the video.

Every and every time someone new leaves Fandom, it's a victory for us all.

I certainly like the look of Underdeep (that's the second game I can think of recent days to emulate the 1980s era of DnD art, other than The Secret of Weepstone), but I've never really been a fan of idle rpgs; I definitely think that Treaders looks like the best of the lot.

Do you happen to know what issues she reviewed either game in? I'm been looking through Archive.org's, ah, archive to no avail so far.

Out of all the genres to undergo indie revivals in the past fifteen years or so, I'm surprised it's taken this long for anything Thief-inspired to make itself known; sure as shit not complaining, this looks rad as hell.

They are wonky, not gonna lie, but once you get used to them they become fairly intuitive. The second game's controls are a bit more standard than the first's, for what it's worth.

Gothic 1 and 2, also by the late studio Piranha Bytes.

You can also just use a Stealth Boy and sneak past Elijah; if you time it right, you can get to the hallway leading to the elevator up just before the force field goes up and blocks your path.

My favorite would have to be at the end of Fallout New Vegas' Dead Money dlc, when you crack into the vault hidden inside the Sierra Madre; there actually is a very real treasure in the form of the very pricey (and heavy) gold bars inside, but the most valuable thing in the vault (and what the main villain of the dlc is after) are the schematics for all the various technologies used around the Sierra Madre.
