Good shit admins. Tankies gonna tankie, but I’m glad they aren’t going to tankie here.

How many Russians are there in Iran, Korea, or Syria?

Lots? With plenty of bombs, aircraft, and chemical weapons?

I haven’t! I’m going to get to it before I get BG3 for sure.

Speaking of CRPGs, I just played Baldur’s Gate 1 for the first time, funnily enough. It was a great game which is not exactly a controversial opinion but I wasn’t expecting it to be so fucking funny also. It was very very very hard though.

I also downloaded DOS2 but it felt like I needed a breather after BG so I’ll get to it when I can commit some time to it.

Remnant 2 - fun game, not as difficult as Remnant 1 imo but better for it.

Cities Skylines - no idea why I got the urge to play it. I’ve had a few failed attempts previously. And I still find it hard as hell to plan my shit out instead of haphazardly placing zones and industries. I’m still very early on (pre-office blocks) and my map is already a mess. I’m playing with the industry, mass transit and plazas DLCs. The industry one seems like fun but I haven’t got to the other two yet. I’m looking forward to the sequel but I know I’m going to suck at that too

Remnant 2

I enjoyed the first but didn’t complete it. Remnant 2 has much the same AA jank but it’s fun as hell.

Shadowbringers and Endwalker were so fucking good. This is an instant preorder and I’m going to book time off just to enjoy it.

Thanks for all the fine work, dudes

This is your hourly reminder that being born into a family that owns an emerald mine doesn’t automatically make you a fucking genius

Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It’s been a while since I read anything of his and I’m loving it.

I started playing roguelikes with flash Binding of Isaac I bought for 99p in a steam sale, pre-Wrath of the Lamb. I’m still playing Rebirth and its expansions well over a decade later. I’d describe it as the perfect game. Why it shines as opposed where other great roguelites don’t is because of how the items interact with each other. The interaction is key. It’s still pure joy to walk into a room and absolutely melt everything in a second because of a synergy you’ve never seen. And now I think about it, what really makes the roguelike genre a favourite of mine is where every run is a challenge from the game: break me. I’d point at Noita as another game with this philosophy. Being given a random selection of tools and trying to cobble them together into something unstoppable.

Ceasefire is a Russian victory, Russia can fuck off home at any time if they want to appease the African Union

The people’s poet

I’ll probably wait for the PS5 release to play it. I’m assuming there’s going to be one. I had zero faith PoE1 would work on console but it was a very cool time.

Bullshiiiiiiit

I dunno it’s pretty decent right?

I didn’t participate but this warms my loins

For what purpose?

Honestly, probably not. It’s been a while since I booted it up though

When Minecraft was still fresh, there were times when the landscape was absolutely jaw dropping.
