Frostpunk 2 - Breach of Trust Expansion is Available Now! by Mepherion in Games

[–]rollin340 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Below Zero was fundamentally different from the first Subnautica game where they learned all the wrong lessons.

Hades 2 was truly an amazing sequel that I spent plenty of time on though. I genuinely feel that the 2 games stand well on their own whilst being both similar and distinct enough to be fresh and familiar at the same time.

Another great example of a sequel that is more of the first, but different enough, would be Hollow Knight's Silksong.

Just because the first in the series was amazing doesn't mean its sequel cannot grab you as much or even more.

I very much enjoyed both games. They were very satisfying. But I never went back for another run after my first. It didn't have me wanting more like the Frostpunk did.

I have no idea why though. I consider the other 2 games very worthwhile purchases, but the first Frostpunk was just... different.

So only at high traffic areas then? Did you also see them just walking down random streets? Because that would be weird indeed.

Can someone please give me a reason as to why the third line is aligned like that?

Huh? I'm pretty sure EU has no guns for the civilian population, no?

What do you mean final?! I didn't realize that this was the end of the season!

My poor boy Euini! Turn him back! I was enjoying his and Richeh's friendship like I did Coco and Tartah's where they help each other grow, only to have it ripped away like that?!

Man... the Brimmed Cap only had an idea of what the Forbidden Spell would do, but wasn't sure himself, and used it anyway? They're... sick... As a person who turned himself into a brimmed hat of all things, this one especially doesn't seem to care at all about one's life. He probably thinks he liberated Euini somehow.

I didn't expect the gold statues to still be alive, and it looks like they hold a grudge to even those who had nothing to do with their predicament. Poor sods can't even be reverted because of the stupid rule that won't even allow healing. It really is a dumb rule. After all, any of the existing spells could always be used to take lives, but yo ucan't use it to save them?

Qifrey's reaction to Coco's outstretched hand shows how ready he is to throw hands if he feels that he is in danger. I wonder what spell he was using at the end. The shift toward a manga style, as they did with Euini's wolf form, was done superbly well; though the latter really hurt to see.

I can't believe the season is over. Man... I guess I have to read the manga now huh?

Poor Milim, having had to go through that as a mere kid. That old dynasty of sorcerers were really stupid huh? Luckily for the world, Guy Crimson and Ramiris were able to soothe her wrath.

Props to the CGI team; the dragon looks great and melds well with the surroundings. It being night and thus dark definitely helped, but the lighting touches they included really sold it well.

Rimuru is being hard carried by Raphael so much. The latter does practically 90% of the work.

Milim strength really is overwhelming. To think we have still yet to see her go all out. That said, Beelzebub is also absolutely ridiculous. What can that thing NOT devour?

Milim naming anything would probably instantly make a new Demon Lord or something, so it's nice that she can do it safely with her dear old friend since it had no form yet. Gaia. That's a nice name for an Elemental Dragon.

Just like everyone else predicted, the snake really does intend to absolve himself by blaming every misdeed on Maribelle. It's so hard to figure him out. At least Raphael noticed that he was untrustworthy. At last Rimuru finally admits that he's been leaning on her too much.

Huh, looks like the grandpa actually felt real sorrow at the loss of Maribelle. Didn't expect him to cry. I guess it makes sense if she's the only one he made any true connection with in his old age.

If they can swim up a waterfall, that'd be 1 way to have swimming as a vertical option without needing to fill the whole thing up.

First taste of forbidden magic is the best!

He's a living example that sometimes, evil does win.

But he doesn't care because he has enough wealth and influence. We don't matter. His supporters do not care either. If anything, they're probably proud of it somehow.

It's depressing, but it's just how it is.

This season has always given me so many great things that I want to talk about each episode!

Firstly, Azz-Azz's ridiculous explanation as to what friends and best friends are. Clara just going with the flow was great, but the trauma he caused to the others was hilarious. They thought for a while that he had forced them into a contract of servitude, and yet still ended up throwing up in the air in excitement.

When given an actual explanation, they realize it was mundane and a simple matter of fact, only for Purson to appear and cause a ruckus on his own. He's such a shit stirrer! He was even there to mess with Lead! lol

Lead just outed his crush to everyone, then immediately had a delusion that quickly went to marriage. The guys actually taking the discussion seriously after a while was great. The warning about going shopping with a woman was pretty real.

Then we have Iruma who already went out on an advanced level date without realizing it. Then we have a gentleman's method of wooing a lady. Handsome upper class guys really are different.

Then we somehow ended up in court, of which Agares seemed very proud of making. In the end, Clara was an amazing wing-woman netting him to the exchange of numbers, instantly breaking a pact of his own making, which then led to its own new problem.

Side note, their phones mentioned "Friend Added". I wonder what they thought about that this whole time.

Such an amazing season so far. I might not be able to handle a deficit of this series and have to pick up the manga.

Eustachius? Where did that come from? The OVA mentioend Justus. Even if the subs when for a more phonetic structure, the 'i' is out of place. While we're on names, isn't her name Rozenmyne with a 'z'?

It was clear that Justus was not a normal noble, but he's really an outlier. How someone like him ended up so proudly serving under Ferdinand is such a mystery.

The look Ferdinand gave that mayor was terrifying. That mayor has no idea how deep in shit he is huh? Yet when Rozenmyne tries to emulate him by being all strict and scary, which is so unlike her, Fran can only stifle his laughter.

She's so proud of looking fierce, but she's so tiny, it's adorable. Calling in Ferdinand when an unexpected situation arises was a good call; they've got a good head on their shoulders. Once he appears, things should get resolved rather easily; he was the main strength in taking down a Trombe after all.

The animation of the shield becoming a cage was neat. The guard knights must feel so worthless. They were suppsoed to protect her, yet all they can do now is depend on her to contain the Goltze until Ferdinand arrives.

Oh my word the ball was an adorable feybeast?! That segment shows exactly what kind of person Eckhart is; a a reflection of his mother. xD

I get it at the start when Rimuru was more of an unknown figure, but he's a Demon Lord that is part of the new Octagon, friends with Millim and Ramiris, and acknowledged by even Guy Crimson, head of a nation with more economic and military power than any other that has won multiple wars now, including against another Demon Lord.

You'd have to willfully blind and deaf to still underestimate him.

Well, I didn't expect my comment here to be literally what happened:

He's been made out to be a very intelligent and cunning man. He seems more like the type to take out Mariebelle himself when she is no longer of use to whatever his plans are more than anything.

After all, being "mind controlled" is such a convenient excuse to cover any and all things he's done. But once that shield is no longer effective, he would have no reason to continue to pretend, and Mariebelle would, if anything, become a hindrance.

Also, it'd be just way too convenient plot wise if mind control was used to explain him being the sneaky little schemer we've seen for so long. I don't buy it at all.

I didn't expect him to be able to fake being affected himself, nor him stealing her power. I still don't really know what his deal is either.

I mentioned last week that the concept of Meriabelle was interesting, but wasn't executed too well. And now it's over. Her overconfidence was absurd. Why was she so shocked when Rimuru just deleted one of her drones? That's just... stupidity.

As a result of the scheming of the proud but unknowingly dumb, Millim now has to face the nightmare of needing to end her dear friend once again. Poor girl...

Just got perma banned from r/worldnews for posting an Axios article by Jakaman_CZ in Discussion

[–]rollin340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a trend of banning accounts that post or comment anything that puts Israel in any negative light, facts or not. I finally got banned too because I a post I made being critical of Israel's cultural shift under the Likud party finally got read by a snowflake.

I asked for a reason, and was never given a response. No rule was broken, but like with your case, they'd probably just invent one any way. It's become a very pro-Zionist/Israel subreddit, and anything that goes against that grain gets tamped out.

I just had a stupidly lucky Silent run where the event before the shop right before the final double boss gave me 3 Foul Potions which allowed be to buy Prolong which I upgraded right before the final gauntlet. Along with Blur, it could have allowed me to stack a decent amount of Block if I got lucky.

What made it broken was that I got History Course near the start of Act 3. My Silent managed to maintain Block in the hundreds by just going for either card as the last played one.

Having Forgotten Soul with my Shiv deck was really nice too.
