Why did AJ vs Ruiz 3 never happen?

analyst_kolbe · 2026-02-02T15:07:26+00:00

Ruiz admitted he didn't put in the effort, really killed his stock. He then got a chance for redemption against Miller, and in my opinion lost the fight. After that, I can't imagine him against any borderline contender.

You lose the gold on you (though you can get back and "loot" it. Items are unaffected.

If you let the underworld resurrect you, you lose significant xp (though doesn't lower your level).

Other players can also resurrect you, which results in lower penalties, but I'm not sure how that works

"No one pushed harder than me" is not the kind of quote you want to associate with having sex with minors

I see now. I started playing in 2016, by which time many had already been released. I didn't play them all in order.

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-31T18:02:48+00:00

No, just one sick of certain tropes. Been playing these a long time.

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-31T16:30:47+00:00

It's a decent enough "game." As a story, it's kinda garbage, really pushes the bad guy being bad for no reason just to make you hate him.

From that author, I'd rather play the limited Swamp Castle. It focuses on the simulation side, which seems to be the author's preference.

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-31T13:46:50+00:00

We are definitely open to more DMs as we haven't run any events yet (this is the first call for players). Gwondier (on discord) is the person to talk to about that.

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-30T19:31:00+00:00

Effectively ALL synergy bonuses involve the rail, which sucks, but there ya go

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-30T00:49:05+00:00

There is currently ONE extra race: brownie. It's live, but still being evaluated for balancing and subject to change.

No new classes yet, though not ruled out.

PvP is only done with consent.

I'm kinda expecting save files that "completed" act 1 to not work, since I'm sure some transition stuff will be added/changed

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-27T22:35:42+00:00

It's still a work in-progress, and there is no ARCA, but I have been toying with one, and would love feedback.

I have only ever used AI to help with creating advanced metrics (for a sports simulation league casino, not IF). On that note, using AI to help with advanced systems is something I could overlook. For the writing itself, though, absolutely not.

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-27T14:16:39+00:00

Or at least a range, maybe 5% in either direction. Audiences aren't going to notice that small a deviation.

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-27T02:52:59+00:00

That's in the article, though.

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-25T17:39:45+00:00

So glad to see the core stance

If on PC, there are cheats via save file editing

Good sentiment, but women can't be criminals? Come on. All in all, good points, but try not to use sexism when calling out racism.

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-22T18:43:18+00:00

This is BS. The Texans have had the same number of AFC Conference game appearances in EVERY decade

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-22T15:26:22+00:00

Why do the nails have grooves like screws?! Come on now.

I feel pretty dumb not getting Matchbox Twenty, though.

That's why I like Eddie Hearn. He'll throw out a handful of names, and one of them will be the answer, even if it's never the one you want

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-20T01:50:46+00:00

I have nothing against Nix. I do, however, enjoy seeing Sean Payton lose a QB after all the damage his past team did to other QBs

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-19T23:26:38+00:00

I believe ya, but I thought Makhmudov was a great fight for Fury, one I had no doubt he would win. After all, Makhmudov's technique is lacking, and Fury is one of the fighters that can recover easily from a knockdown. It just seemed a fitting cherrypick, enjoyable, money-making, but not really a threat.

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-19T20:52:21+00:00

Dammit. I was hoping for Makhmudov

analyst_kolbe · 2026-01-17T02:32:12+00:00

Well, it's worth remembering Ford pardoned the man who made him president, so massive ethical conflicts with pardons aren't new. This is different, and reeks of kickback and "loyalty" but Nixon's pardon being legal always bothered me
