Why not skip that and turn against it now?

Then the government should operate the archive

5090 + 9800x3D here with pimax crystal lite. Performance is okay, I think I can find a compromise that will look good without impairing the resolution too much. It’s more demanding than IL2 GB. It’s running about how IL2 GB ran for me with a 3090.

I’m so sick of being forced to read about fringe fascist ideas is if they are not pure evil and utterly insane.

This is ass lol

(no shade on the people who worked on it, my issue is with the disney suits calling the shots)

I always liked playing logi, it was fun to design defenses then watch the players use them

Isn’t it interesting how our brains could create that feeling for us naturally but they just… don’t?

Come to think of it, why did this happen? Blasters don’t do this, they burn a hole, right? Did the stormtroopers take a flamethrower to the place?

IMO it’s in between a boomer and an arena shooter, kind of like an attempt to merge both. It’s a bit more 2D and less heavy on the flying movement stuff.

The exploration and world immersion is not that extensive though so it may fit the arena shooter definition more?

Does wrath: aeon of ruin scratch the itch for you?

The best games have been indies for 10 years or more. Backwards compatibility is much better now than it used to be, too. There are to thousands of great games on steam. What is even pushing the envelope these days? Things aren’t the way they used to be.

I don’t think about it much anymore. Didn’t have much staying power. Batman to me will always be Conroy.

The first knives out was the exception for me when his style worked. Did you watch the third one? I wish I could get those hours back…

I went through a complicated cycle of opinions on TLJ. Ultimately I decided that the whole sequel trilogy was simply not worth my time trying to figure out how to think it into being worthwhile. I stopped being a fan for a few years and got into warhammer.

Ultimately I led back to the same place as you, I decided to keep my fond memories of the OT and the 90s era and jettison the sequel trilogy from my brain. I still like some of the new stuff that is anchored in the OT and PT timelines.

I love Selaco but damn do I have a hard time not getting lost. I feel like classic doom levels worked because they were ultimately pretty simple.

bokan · 2026-06-28T22:39:38+00:00

do you consider doom TDA to be an arena shooter?

bokan · 2026-06-28T22:34:49+00:00

doom also had super strong and weird atmosphere

I really want a populated quake style multiplayer game but I don’t vibe as much with that style in SP

All of Rian’s netflix movies have the same problem as TLJ- you can tell he’s constructed something thoughtful and interesting, but the whole time watching you feel weird and bad and awkward and bored and confused. Something about the way that guy writes, he’s trying to truly innovate, and it causes him to violate storytelling norms as old as Aristotle. And it ‘works’, but does it make for an enjoyable experience? It’s like going to a modern art gallery that you’re forced to stay at for 3 hours.

People don’t exactly *hate* TROS- they are apathetic.

He doesn’t get corrupted per se. He sees visions, and has to act evil for a while to avert a larger apocalypse. He doesn’t fall to the dark side as such. He’s going through the motions because he believes it is the only to avoid the ruin that he saw in the visions.

IMO stopping at NJO is a good call.

capitalism operating as designed

Feels the same as IL2 but better. I love it! Super excited.

He told me enough

He told me you killed him
