  1. https://www.metacritic.com/game/homeworld-3/ Ouch. The industry score means nothing. The bad user score is either a hissy fit, lots of those around, or a good indication of a terrible game. In truth I probably resemble all the old-school fanboys who have written bad reviews, so, I dunno. A pass 'i think. Jagged Alliance is 50% off, the new one. I might get that instead.

  2. The June 7th blog is primed and ready. Feel free to read (perhaps again) @Gorth musing from last month: As well, currently looking for someone to contribute to the August 7th edition. Please DM me if you have an inkling to create something.

  3. If this forum were a robot/mecha anime, you could merge @Gorth and @Gorgon to create the Super Moderator Mega-Gorthgon. Just an observation.

  4. No they don't care because it's Africa. Surprising amount of people think the entire continent is like Congo circa 2000

  5. It does. The post release "Legends" mode. In GoTs PC release you don't have to have sign in to PSN account to play singleplayer, but you will to play the multiplayer mode. Yeah, I know of country limitation. It seems like Sony exects haven't fully thoughtout this "port to PC" thing, more than anything else. From what I understand that issue popped out rather recently and even PS employees weren't fully aware of remifications. They will definitely have to sort this thing out (either by expanding availability of PSN or, prefferably, use existing PC services.

  6. Hard pass on that PSN bull****. There are enough places on the internet already with my info, I don't need to put it in a network that has yearly data breaches. It also means that they will eventually pull the plug on it rendering the game inaccessible. Don't support that **** y'all.

  8. A Dance of Masks. Not exactly informative and I am quite certain that these are combat barks from the base game, but the focus on the companions is welcome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sycs4vdpxYw

  9. There is no Light Ironically, there was a special death animation for the area, where the spiders were not retrieving the MC's corpse. "Don't listen to him, listen to me instead". It might be not exactly the best line, but he spider had a point. One of the collectible side quests. Well, they have tried with the altered quote. Her axe kept winking at me. All cut-scenes (except the secret true ending) are shades of grey. Stylish. They had been trying to murder me throughout the area. Did not meet the creature that cast the shadow. The boss. The arena had purple poison activated. The jars were providing protection from it and had been introduced earlier in the area. Unlocked the bestiary. I couldn't shake the feeling that the writing was off. The rocks were possible to stand on, despite looking like a part of the background. A rather unpleasant boss battle - the boss had no windup for most attacks, so I was just hitting once and dodging, occasionally using the rage/special/ability attack. Got a shield from it, which I proceeded to ignore. The backers, I assume. And this boss battle was worse - the arena had pits and the boss was zipping around. Cute fox. Such a nice and welcoming place. One of the few areas with maps. Since there were 3 objectives, which I deduced from staring at the map, trying to explore blindly would be horrible. As is, it was just unpleasant. A pretty bird. Did not do anything and was not a boss. The actual character development system was unlocked by defeating bosses. There were 4 souls possible to equip at the same time, so while sprinting was convenient, higher damage and regeneration felt more important, and so, traversing settlements was always annoying. The final boss and ending. I used the attack speed + increased regeneration built and was mostly just eating the damage. Felt actually good.

  10. I think a lot of “democratically” elected governments gets toppled by either military coups or uprisings because of rampant corruption… i.e. being “democratic regimes” in name only, not functionally. No easy fixes for deep rooted cultural problems

  11. Is there any evidence the Russians didn't always think GoK was a load of old bollocks? Ukrainian propaganda is not very sophisticated at all, it just has the massive advantage- in the west- of just about everyone in the media wanting it to be true and reporting it as such even when it's highly implausible. Babushka with pickle jar isn't exactly credible, nor are their casualty estimates and they've been regularly caught gilding the lily to make more appealing stories ("Snake Island defenders fought to the last man"). Russian propaganda aimed at the west is pretty rubbish. Too much smorgasbording if anything bad happens ("don't like this scenario? OK, here's a dozen more which aren't at all compatible with each other pick the one you like!") and most of the people taken in by it are already anti their government in some way. The only stuff that is actually effective tends to be self inflicted by the west- not being able to trust the (western) media works as a narrative because you cannot trust the (western) media, not because it's good propaganda.
