Still Outward. I love this game, probably going to be playing it for a while to come. I want to try a flamethrower mage build next, or perhaps an archer/off-hand dagger build. There are still two entire regions I’ve not yet visited in 60+ hours of gameplay.
I only play solo, I don’t have much time for gaming, and it’s a pleasure to not have to consider others needs etc. for a little while.
Now that I know the mechanics better I have built a stronger character. I also used splitscreen to give my new character a few nice items from my first character, that makes solo a little easier and more fun.
I’m playing through Outward a second time. It is such a beautiful game, and I really enjoy some of the unique aspects of it like the lack of fast travel.
I actually didn’t even notice the link to the article. Oops. Thanks for pointing that out.
Thank you for pointing this out. I honestly missed the link completely! I’m not usually the type to comment on a post that links to an article without reading it. Oops.
Defeatism will get us nowhere. The power of the people dethroned kings, and it will dethrone capitalism too.
I do agree that the actions of a single person are a drop in the bucket, but we can only fill the bucket if many of us offer their single drop. We each must do our part, no matter how insignificant that part may be.
This is indeed some next-level fuckery.
Mechwarrior 5, Outward, and Dwarf Fortress
I believe they meant power seperate from that provided by the jack itself, like Bluetooth headphones need a battery.
I think it’s not really fair to compare 1940s India with current American politics.
It feels somewhat like saying “the Mongolian army took over half of Eurasia with mounted archers, Ukraine should just use those against Russia!”
It’s just not comparable, different cultures, different opponents, and wildly different technology. And this isn’t just the US, it is a worldwide class war. Organized resistance on that scale, especially when the ruling elite can monitor nearly 100% of all communication, just isn’t something that’s going to happen, even with a charismatic figurehead.
My sweetspot is 5.5-6.5 hrs. (+caffine) I’m slightly on the ADHD spectrum, so the mix of bodily stress hormones and deep sleep is just right.
But that’s just me. Everyone is different.
It’s not satire, they are purchasing it for real.
If Germany and France want to, they could wipe Russia of the map. It’s a matter of cost. I hope that the EU will pick up the military aid that the US doesn’t send under Trump, and allow Ukraine to continue the drone strikes with EU tech. Russian and NK armies only have enough soldiers that won’t defect…
Eat the rich, they are our true enemies. Power to the people.
From what I understand, it’s not about abstaining from men because there aren’t any good men. It’s about abstaining to protect themselves when they live under an administration that denies them reproductive freedom.
It’s good, but not amazing. Each of the 5 main fractions has It’s own main quest line with 5 quests, and any given character can only do one of the lines. There isn’t much dialog, and don’t expect a giant tree of options and alternate endings in each line, but the writing is solid and the themes are varied and interesting. After the main quest line there is a DLC quest about rebuilding a town with some lackluster town-building mechanics. I ended up not finishing this with my first character, it was too tedious. It wasn’t horrible either though, I just don’t have that much free time.
There are lots of side quests spread over the land, but there is a lot of open space in this game, so you will end up referring to the fandom wiki in order to find some of them. The focus is more on exploration, survival, crafting, and optimization than a detailed and branching story.
