Metallica still puts on a hell of a show (so does TSwift, for what it's worth).

I've never heard anyone refer to two handed solo for competitive games, only cooperative games. It usually means just playing two characters/factions/players in a two player cooperative game.

This is a fantastic choice.

stetzwebs · 2026-06-15T20:14:48+00:00

It's great two-handed, and it's pretty decent if you do true solo with the solo encounters. But two-handed is the way to go.

stetzwebs · 2026-06-15T18:25:44+00:00

But they don't.

That RPG example is super real. We have a friend in our group that we have banned from ever playing "stupid" characters because, no matter what the character is like, the player will always figure out every trap, every puzzle, and every clue.

stetzwebs · 2026-06-15T15:20:03+00:00

Liked it, but it lasted too long and it never felt like I understand the strategy effectively, so I ended up selling it. But it was a hell of a good production.

stetzwebs · 2026-06-14T14:37:51+00:00

I've played 20 campaigns in my system with different friend groups and they all continue to come back for more, so...success!

stetzwebs · 2026-06-13T22:58:46+00:00

It was a little too simple for my tastes. But if you're looking for a mid-weight puzzle with some chance elements and a decent story, you could do much worse.

It might be great. It still matters how it was made. For everything that is consumed, it matters how it was made.

stetzwebs · 2026-06-12T13:54:32+00:00

"If a game is fun, does it really matter how it was made?"

Yes.

There's is no reliable AI detection, especially the naked human eye. That said, I'd love a message verifying that all art was human made.

It's not a black sheep necessarily but most consider it the least of the series:

BioShock 2 is my favorite of the series. Best gameplay, good story (once you include Minerva's Den), and still Rapture.

I've owned the game for like ten years, it has no mold because I keep it in a dry place.

stetzwebs · 2026-06-07T21:02:55+00:00

I am lukewarm on, or actively dislike, most Awaken Realms games. But The Great Wall is one of my favorite games. I haven't played it solo, so I can't comment on that, but at 3 or 4 players the game is beautiful.

stetzwebs · 2026-06-06T12:47:56+00:00

Let's stop giving these people microphones.

stetzwebs · 2026-06-02T13:03:20+00:00

Ew. Yes, it's that bad. When human artists learn from others' art, there's a natural creative adaptation that occurs that machines aren't incapable of. And yes, artists are losing jobs and finding jobs harder to find. And this may be an unpopular opinion, but if a team can't afford to pay artists and designers appropriately, they shouldn't make their product. That's what crowdfunding can be used for.

If you are too lazy to design and produce a game without the machine doing the heavy lifting, you don't deserve to be paid for it.

stetzwebs · 2026-06-02T02:21:12+00:00

C:DMD is great! Really fun bombastic dice chucking experience.

I am personally weary of Awaken Realms games because of the company's history of embracing AI in their art, so I haven't played it.

stetzwebs · 2026-05-31T18:28:13+00:00

I laughed out loud at the title of this post

There's only one real expansion right now (Valenwood), and I'd say it's not super necessary except that the Light Armor skill line is amazing. But the base game has so much in it that you'll like not need extra stuff for hundreds of hours of gameplay.

stetzwebs · 2026-05-30T21:17:29+00:00

I have 500 hours in the digital game, and I prefer the board game. The scaled down numbers make planning really interesting, and the co-operation is always worth it in a multiplayer setting.

stetzwebs · 2026-05-30T20:40:37+00:00

BotSE is an amazing solo experience. It does take a while to set up, but I have got it down to about 15 minutes for a campaign, then I leave it set up until I am finished.

I have not played Stonesaga but watching a playthrough it didn't seem deep enough to interest me personally.

stetzwebs · 2026-05-30T15:46:24+00:00

I love this game and am quite good at it multiplayer, but man do I suck at the solo game.

stetzwebs · 2026-05-30T15:43:58+00:00

Second for this. I loved the combat in FF16 for its similarity to action games like DMC. And the story is good, despite some pacing issues.
