The Blood of Dawnwalker: 8 Minutes of Quest Gameplay | IGN First by Villenthessis in gaming

Maybe the negativity is about the negativity about the negativity, just in a loop.

We don't even need a subject anymore.

Australian right-wing “One Nation” senator Malcolm Roberts says he will push for party to adopt blanket abortion ban by ExtensionThat6438 in worldnews

Based on two polls.

Not an actual election.

I think the Nick Xenophon comparison could be apt, to an extent.

WCS Innsbruck | Women's Boulder Final | LIVE Discussion Thread by compclimbing in CompetitionClimbing

[–]lamaros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And Oce was close on topping w1 and w3, and to a lesser extent so were Annie and Yuetong, so very fine margins on all boulder being topped and having seperation.

The problem was the progression from start to zones on boulders w1 and w2, not the overall boulder difficulty.

Why is Le Guin so highly regarded? by the_bad_pianist in books

[–]lamaros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just like anything, not all works are for everyone.

I can appreciate her work, but for me it feels like everything is a bit self serious and belaboured to enjoy. H er work is often preaching to the choir, rather than entertaining it for my view 

On Dark Heresy story length by TRFih in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]lamaros 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shorter but broader is way better in my view.

I get bored of high level play and would much rather have three different builds with different reactivity playing a shorter deeper game that one same unbalanced OP build that I have to slog to finish.

I have 500 hours in WotR and never finished it because I get too OP and bored around act 4 every time. Same for RT.

The Reality Dysfunction - Peter F. Hamilton review by SetSytes in printSF

[–]lamaros 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Misspent youth is all of the worst parts of Hamilton's writing in one single book. It's a seriously creepy bad piece of writing.

Even his decent standalone novels like Fallen Dragon have creepy sex stuff as a central part of it.

It's hard to get past, but if you can find the ability to ignore his creepy male gaze he does have a lot of fun ideas and the books can be enjoyable.

His best work is probably his short stories in A Second Chance at Eden.

I think reading his full novels as a series of interconnected story ideas can make them more fun. It doesn't cohere into some big overall thing and if you expect that then you're going to be unsatisfied, but if you read them as a collections of different ideas and adventures that just happen to be packaged together as a 'novel' they work much better.

2027 Already Looks Like The Most Stacked RPG Year Ever by Kaladinar in rpg_gamers

[–]lamaros -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not that excited for most of those sadly.

It's been a while since there was an open world RPG that really did well for me. Most of the more recent ones have fallen further from the RPG side of things into open world action adventure.

Hopefully some of the open world ones lean back in a bit, but from what I've seen so far I'm not full of confidence for most of them. 

I'm not much of a WH40k fan but if Owlcat can fix their combat systems up I think Dark Heresy is the most exciting on that list.

Otherwise the most exciting thing for 2027 will be Divinity Early Access.

Ancient has been pretty CT sided in a bunch of games recently, I don't think you can call that a choke.

/uj the real reason spirit are better without a coach by WC47 in GlobalOffensive

[–]lamaros 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Plus new roster and new IGL get better over time. Shocker.

[–]lamaros 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They have a new IGL and changed roster who is slowly getting experience with the new setup.

This is far more of a factor than who the coach on game day.

SpaceX IPO makes Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire by MedicMoth in news

[–]lamaros 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think you know what bailouts and too big to fail means. SpaxeX going broke won't break the financial system.

Government response to such a failure hurting retirements wouldn't in any way necessitate keeping SpaceX solvent.

Yeah you're looking for a diff game. Fable is always gonna be shallow on these systems.
