  1. That depends heavily on what you would consider a happy ending. You can avert a galactic crisis and foil the plan of an insane fascist, so if that qualifies, then yes, the game does have one. If by happy ending you mean creating a better place in the Warhammer 40k universe, then that is actually also possible, albeit after a fashiohn, if you follow a certain conviction and achieve its secret ending, but (warning, spoilers): Hey, it's Warhammer 40k, there's got to be some grim and dark even in the happiest of endings.

  2. Momodora: Moonlit Farewell. Another good metroidvania, it looks just like the previous one and it's beautiful. It has no complicated or annoying mechanics and I enjoyed it a lot. However, I do have many criticisms: the map is more linear than in the previous game, basically one straight path with some ramification areas (although each area has many short ramifications). Most bosses can be damaged at any moment and the battles become a little boring, with victory depending more on pressing buttons quickly than dodging and trying to find a weak moment/spot. The story is quite simple and the companions could be more creative, but instead are just skin variations of three types.

  3. The trouble is that this is fundamentally a lose/ lose situation for Biden. If he's hard on Israel he'll lose votes, if he ignores Palestinians and Israeli war crimes he'll lose votes. There's very little at risk for Trump who can say what he likes on the issue; anyone pro Palestine or (unironic usage this time, to be clear) Rules Based Order or nuanced responses to international affairs is never going to vote for Trump anyway, and he isn't in power. In this case I don't think Biden has a smart play, from a purely political perspective, only bad and worse. (While a lot of people including myself would like Biden to make a Moral Play and actually use the US influence to, well, stop the starvation, collective punishment, destruction of educational institutions, deliberate targeting of health sites and workers, targeting of journalists, targeting of diplomatic structures, targeting of aid workers, targeting of civilian structures etc etc instead of mildly pontificating about it I struggle to think of a single time a US President has actually made a genuine Moral Play, ie (try and) do something because it's simply the right thing to do, knowing that it'll potentially hurt him politically)

  5. Stray Blade Lore: Bosses (including the final one): The sword had the best hyper armour - I could just stand and swing without being interrupted. In terms of navigation, the companion and the wall marks proved to be more reliable for the main quest. The map and the compass were less helpful. The end-game and the ending: Well, at least the warning was clear.

  7. The new Momodora looks gorgeous. I really like the colour design. (If there are no posts made here in the next few hours, I will add my Stray Blade screenshots to this post). Lore entries: Bosses: The 2D art looks very nice. Not quite "Ring two bells, gather four Lord Souls", but close. That's exactly what we have been doing. Got the full assassin-like armour and dual daggers. The daggers did not quite work with the combat system. The halberd, though, was a marvel. Found one Green faction mini-boss in the Blue faction area. Ironically, these regular foes felt more challenging than the bosses. Too few too short openings. Here my FPS dropped to 20. Which is odd, considering the number of polygons I was seeing. This can be said about pretty much any old ruins.

  11. At this point I'm not sure Israel isn't trying to make sure Biden doesn't get reelected.
