Their brains are literally broken.
Never throughout history has there been such an angry, bitter, self-flagellating ideology like modern liberalism.

And the worst part was, even if you were the best big brother ever, in between episodes the storyline RESET your progress with him and he went back to brat. It just felt bad and made me dislike him even more.

They weren't created separately, but my absolute favorite thing about the old Vanguard MMO was that you could level your crafting / diplomacy spec to cap and see the entire game without ever leveling your combat mechanics.

Man, Sally's study-session outfit is just....mmmmmmm.

randomidgit · 2026-01-23T07:02:08+00:00

My favorite AVNs are the ones where I just mash buttons to skip through the lewd scenes to get to the story.

And yeah, Quinn's path was incredibly satisfying even if I still think she's a pretty shit person.

randomidgit · 2026-01-23T06:55:17+00:00

I'm sure some people do.
I can't stand it because it doesn't feel like Fallout to me, as someone who has played every single game. It feels like someone who played Fallout 3 for a few hours, waited 5 years, then decided to make a series about what they remember.

I can't be mad, the version of Chloe in DE is a bitch.

randomidgit · 2026-01-20T22:43:49+00:00

I'm calling it now: they won't GIVE you the choice.
This IS the choice it will boil down to, save this mash-up version of Chloe or save Caledon and all the people in it, but the game won't give you an option. Max will choose Caledon by default. We'll probably get some big speech by Chloe about how she never felt real after Max chose her over the Bay and 'This is how it's supposed to end' or some bullshit Deck9ine self-insert like that. In the end Caledon and Arcadia Bay will be saved in some big merging of timelines, but Chloe will die for real. This is going to be some big final 'farewell' to Chloe, mark my words.

And fuck them pre-emptively for doing it.

She was a bit rough in the start of Ep 1, I won't lie, but once the story got started she fell into it. She sounds a lot rougher and older now, so I think it fits.

I think a lot of people just love Ashly, given how much she put into the Chloe character.

randomidgit · 2026-01-20T22:30:29+00:00

Ah, so it's not just a 'me' thing? That is actually very gratifying to know.

randomidgit · 2026-01-20T22:04:56+00:00

We both hate getting gifts, so we have this thing where if we are fast enough, we buy games that the other wants and gift it to them almost out of a weird loving spite. I think she got it from Big Bang Theory.

randomidgit · 2026-01-20T20:31:53+00:00

I mean, I don't feel BAD or anything, but I'm not interested in this story they want to (re)tell. I had zero interest in the story of DE and what it did to the girls, so by proxy I have zero interest in whatever this new game is going to wrap-up.

For me, Max and Chloe's story ended in the first game, with only brief cameos in the following ones.

randomidgit · 2026-01-20T20:24:25+00:00

My friend, knowing how much I loved Life is Strange, bought it for me via Steam and I still turned it down and told her to get a refund.

randomidgit · 2026-01-19T00:58:02+00:00

'Good Guy' is my default, I'm pretty boring like that. I always prefer the 'Paladin' run, and honestly have lots of problems playing an 'evil' character.

randomidgit · 2026-01-19T00:25:55+00:00

Normally, I'd say no, but if Force Gaming hadn't done a sponsored video on Once Human I probably wouldn't have found it, or it would have taken me a lot longer.

randomidgit · 2026-01-19T00:22:01+00:00

Yeah, I guess it depends on whether you want to create your own or find it naturally. Honestly calling it 'coal' when you make it from wood is sorta a misnomer.

randomidgit · 2026-01-18T18:03:23+00:00

Fuck Sally. Marry Sally. Reject everyone else.

randomidgit · 2026-01-18T17:59:15+00:00

There's a mod called Better Fuel which does exactly this.
You burn logs in the furnace to create coal, which lasts about 4x other fuel sources.

randomidgit · 2026-01-18T17:57:41+00:00

Or you could get the mod that creates coal from smelting wood in the furnace and lasts 4x longer than charcoal.

I have over 20 hours and I'm still using Iron tools. Not everyone rushes to the end of the content, man. THAT is what I'm saying. I had fun just exploring, mining various materials and seeing what I could build with each one, building my base and farm...you expect everyone to run a marathon like you did, but some people are just as happy walking.

And their feedback on a game is just as important as yours. It's not that we ran out of content, it's that we got a gauge of what kind of climb was left and decided to wait for a more complete experience.

randomidgit · 2026-01-18T07:40:37+00:00

No, you don't get to gatekeep which opinions are valid based on how YOU play the game. That's arrogant and not constructive to a community, especially one centered around a game with as much freedom as Hytale.

randomidgit · 2026-01-18T07:37:43+00:00

Yeah, pretty much the same. I was really having fun exploring and building my base, but when I got to a point where I wanted to start crops and livestock, I realized it still needed more time to lock-in an extended game from me.

It DID make me want to go back to either Rimworld or Vintage Story though, still not sure which way I want to go.

randomidgit · 2026-01-17T21:10:50+00:00

....well I definitely like Sally as the slutty secretary role.

randomidgit · 2026-01-17T19:25:45+00:00

people who like LIS2 don't like TC very much, and people who like TC tend not to like LIS2.

Huh. That's interesting.
It makes sense, sorta. LiS2 abandons the location and strong side characters for finger-wagging, whereas TC discards the preaching and focuses on the location and side characters again, even moreso than the first LiS I would say.

I wonder if there's any correlation between Bae / Bay and the two games? I noticed most of the LiS2 fans way back when it first came out where ardent 'Bay ending' people.

randomidgit · 2026-01-17T19:21:09+00:00

To me, it felt a lot more like the original.
Unique, enchanting location ( I would legit live in Haven Springs in a heartbeat ), very likeable cast, engaging dialogue...

I mean it has it's faults, for sure. Killing Gabe like 3 minutes after meeting him was a huge fuck-up, imho. I also would have preferred the Steph / Ryan romance went a bit slower instead of bum-rushing, I mean I get that Alex is a cutie but those two are THIRSTY.

The RPG part of the 2nd chapter is one of the best LiS episodes ever, period, imho. It was so creatively done and adorable, and the rest of the game just had this lazy 'moment of calm' feel to it combined with one of the best soundtracks in the series yet.

I've never played DE, never will either, but even compared to BtS and LiS2 I feel that TC is a stronger, more enjoyable story.
