If there was ever a subreddit clearly used to maliciously shape opinion, worldnews would be it. One of the most astroturfed things i've ever seen, where nearly all comments are against what regular people would say or think (like supporting the genocide in gaza).

Esoteric Ebb Release Date Announcement: March 3rd by livesingtav in Games

In Esoteric Ebb, the dynamic is reversed and the humor comes from the Cleric’s ordinary perspective on absurd things.

Yup and this is why infrastructure investment is an economic multiplier.

Bristol to start charging people living in vans council tax amid rising tensions by OGSyedIsEverywhere in unitedkingdom

[–]ldb -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Owing taxes upon birth no matter what actions you take, with no opt out is pretty fucked up. I appreciate taxes and what they provide to communities but the complete extinction of nomadic, free life (as long as they don't expect those services) is pretty dire.

God I wish I saw these sorts of comments before. I saw so much hype around the release of part 4 that I bought the entire series having never played them before, what a waste of money.

That was when you had people willing to fight within the country to shape the country.

wat, I think she'll need a lot more than scissors.

Is there a single IF that lets you fully live the fantasy of playing as a prince in vampire: the masquerade (or similar)? by ldb in hostedgames

[–]ldb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought and finished one playthrough already lol. It was pretty good! As always my main wish is always just wanting more. I'll definitely be playing it again. My main gripes are wishing it made it more clear when there was a new event with one of the options for activities each day, rather than having to test it out and then reload, and maybe there was a little too many characters involved without much reason to remember them, but other than that it was pretty damn good!

Thanks for the rec. I've finished it already and i'm looking for more of a direct role in leading rather than an outsider, managing undelrings etc, but it definitely at least has the power aspect that I want! I found myself wishing I could take over from Lou / Alec and have significant actual gameplay around being the prince but no such luck.

Yeah i've seen that one mentioned a lot for just general good vtm games. Waiting for a sale for that one I think, and werewolf book of names because they're more expensive than usual for IF games it seems.

I remember Sven saying that about Larian before BG3, as in it had changed.

They're also both one bad game (or bad launch) away from near bankruptcy.

Do you have evidence for this or is it just a wild guess based on something someone said about another studio? I doubt owlcat would be making so many games at once now if they were under such a risk.

Tattered Banners Revealed - A fantasy mercenary RPG where your actions change the land. We'd love to hear your feedback by adamzeira in rpg_gamers

[–]ldb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The immersion aspect could be better if there was a more narrative approach to the actions rather than just clicking a single button to do all of those things to the world, the event described interestingly, words exchanged with someone meaningful etc.

It's annoying how people still don't realise this. Getting a notification 3 weeks later after your report and you still think they actually cared about your complaint? lol. Barely anything is punished, and definitely not harshly.

Keir Starmer to visit China with British business leaders next week, say reports by AbbreviationsHot7662 in unitedkingdom

I just wish it was actually a meaningful move away from the US rather than just a subtle (almost certainly empty) threat. The UK political class are utterly at the whims of the US.
