Looks like a pre-made MC and silly system requirements. I'd say "at least it's not UE5", but it is not a high bar to clear. The combat might be fine, but the visual noise is incredibly annoying. Thus, I might consider getting it for $5 in 5 years. Edit. It does look like TW3 and I strongly disliked that game. While TES VI is development, Ardenfall is closing onto the release date (the last I've heard, "early 2026"). Ardenfall on SteamArdenfall is an immersive RPG set in a world of intricate politics and ancient cultures. Explore flowing plains, rain drenched wetlands, and forgotten dungeons full of danger.

It was bit sarcastic joke. Last summer I said that I don't believe that US strikes were able to eliminate Iran's nuclear program only ensure that they will seek nuclear weapon

UK. The Green Party of England and Wales won the by-election in Gorton and Denton, leading by 40%. Reform UK (Trump-lite) came second, while the 2 major parties were further behind. It is a promising sight that a party which values human rights, animal rights, and the environment can also be victorious and have the power to implement these ideals. This by-election also shows that we do not have to be locked into a 2-party system.

Valve getting sued in New York for loot boxes. Or at least, that's the headline version. Seems to be more about there being a marketplace for selling the results of loot boxes than the mechanic itself, which is why they're targeting Valve/ Steam specifically instead of other who just use loot boxes. IMO, should have happened way sooner.

https://fortune.com/2026/02/24/discord-peter-thiel-backed-persona-identity-verification-breach/ "In addition to verifying a user’s age, researchers found Persona performs 269 distinct verification checks, including screening for “adverse media” across 14 different categories such as terrorism and espionage. It then assigns risk and similarity scores to user information." So basically, what we expected to happen with the age verification crap is exactly what happened - in fact, it's even worse. They wouldn't just use your data for ai training, you also get put into a huge ICE / FinCEN / terror watchlist database. /Edit: Here is a video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCi9Uq5GZ18 None of this is about protecting the children - if they wanted to do that, they would jail their pedophile elite.

Russian posts from 4 years ago. Aged like milk. State media saying that Ukrainians where surrendering on mass. And that they lost in 1h23m.

Finally! Was waiting so long. Didn't want to buy a PS5 for literally a single game, since everything that interests me nowadays comes to PC anyways. But 80€ ... I'm going to wait.

Did they actually call it GNU??? 😎 I know GNU as one of two things. The animal also called wildebeest or a license for open source software

Heck yeah!

I dunno how this is supposed to go from shooting missiles to regime change and I don't think Israel and the US do either.

I hope not, since I dislike/have zero interest in Elder Scrolls (overall). Looks more like Breath of the Wild+other adventure-rpg mashups, maybe with a hint of Witcher 3 (but not like W3, mind). The world aesthetics, questing/exploration reminds me a little bit of Enshrouded vibe, too. Again, not saying the same, just kinda reminds me a bit. EDIT: the dev's other/most recent game was a MT online MMO or something (same engine). I have a feeling this is a non-MT/SP version of that, kinda. Or it'll be cosmetic MT's after release, or maybe new chrs, area DLC. Who knows tho.

If I remember correctly, there were 2 separate EU Steam regions previously, which were later merged into one due to a few publishers being illegally customer-unfriendly. https://steamdb.info/blog/steam-geo-locking-europe/ Finished Ender Magnolia. I've got the second ending and the last few achievements (which required a bit of farming in NG+; I think the bosses' movesets are slightly different there). I've also tried the Boss Rush mode, but not quite successfully - the setup is not possible to switch between the battles and the earlier bosses hit much harder than I remember. I could increase the difficulty and farm mini-bosses to unlock the gallery (sprites and concept art), but I'd rather leave it on a positive note. Overall, it is a delightful Metroidvania. Attempted to resume my playthrough of Absinthia. Realised that I do not like the RPGMaker combat (no positioning, etc.) and controls (the movement grid is very rigid), while there is only so much the developers can do about it. The story is fine - a group of teenagers from a no-name village go after a random bandit/cult leader after their village gets attacked.

Iran's nuclear program was annihilated last summer according to Trump and co, so interesting to see it again as reason to attack

Hannah is awesome.

In case if it is not obvious, one is more likely to spend £70 on a game when they earn £3,000 per month rather than £300. Without regional pricing, the lower income regions would be spending 0 and obtaining the software via less legal means. Tried Creatures of Ava. Looks suprisingly decent for a UE5 game as the visual style masks the usual smudge well. The story and traversal are functional, the photography part is nice, the combat is not. The MC has a tragic background story and arrived to the planet to save the locals, whether they want it or not. My hopes that it would include hitting things with a stick were unfulfilled - the sci-fi magic stick is to cast a beam and dodge while the beam removes the HP withering from the local wildlife. The controls are rebindable, the saving is possible at will in several slots, the audio mini-game can have visual indicators.

From 25.98 to 100.76 EUR depending on the region of sale. https://steamdb.info/bundle/59764/

That second part is easy to fix. Like me, don't have any social media accounts. ☺️

Oh wow! I had no idea that would be the case. That's a huge advantage!

First two episodes of the new season of Scrubs feel good so far. It's very close to the vibe of the old show. Would be interested to see if the janitor shows up.

From a story by the author of "Let the Right One In"

My full Ironman training is going pretty well. Since November I've done a good job of swimming regularly, and my running speed came back pretty quickly. I need to build up my riding miles, but I can do that as it gets warmer. The toughest part, as usual, has been the nutrition. Did you know that exercise causes hemorrhoids? So I was dealing with that for a bit. I am enjoying the gamification of all my training. I'm using Tridot for my workouts, and I'm almost level 17. I don't know what that means, but it's a fun carrot to chase. With the weather being bad, I did a fair amount of indoor rides using Zwift. I'm up to level 24 in that cycling MMO.

Draining Whip is very good in general - Biting Whip's original dmg bonus is a joke in comparison. CP just brought Biting Whip up to the power of Draining Whip. For a Beguiler I would always pick Draining Whip.

I decided to buy Atomfall with all the DLC and Im going to play it next I have heard good things about this game 🤖

While I don't know, having never developed a game myself, I would strongly suspect making a 2D game with isometric presentation to be considerably more straight-forward, and has you using your hours on something that leverages your gameplay and not something that's only under the hood. Instead of x-y-z you only have to think in x-y. I guess the most direct analogy is maths when you have to add dimensions, as the product is non-linear: 2x times 2y is 4, while 2x times 2y times 2z is 8 -- double the total of what you had to take in account going only x-y. For example you can drop everything about 3D rendering, lighting, more complex pathing, etc etc. The Pillars games' presentation is rendered 3D, so it's 2D when you're playing the game. The only things still real-time rendered in 3D are basically the characters / NPC's, and a miniscule numbers of special effects, some doors et cetera. But because the characters are in 3D, they still had to add dynamic lighting on top of their 2D. The final product is as you know absolutely beautiful, but there's still considerable time investment to achieve it. But again, the gameplay is 2D. Again, I'm not a game developer so take my thoughts for what they are. But I hope they've given you some things to consider. Best of luck to you whatever you choose!

At the risk of sounding negative that gets harder and harder in an increasingly overcrowded world 😖 Social media doesn’t help either, as people have long since worked out negativity is more profitable

I have completely missed it yesterday, but classic FFVII has been released on GOG https://www.gog.com/en/news/final_fantasy_vii_is_now_out_with_a_limitedtime_discount_alongside_classic_final_fantasy_deals

Eh, the Jackster's going to shut up eventually, no worries. Keanu on the other hand, uh...

There's this guy on YT - Todd in the Shadows -with a lot of "one hit wonder" song breakdown/analysis videos. Guess he's been around a while/fairly popular, but I only noticed him the other week (when the almighty YT algorithm finally decided I might be interested, I suppose). Watched quite a few, hits the nostalgia vibes most of the time. Saw this one re: Barbie Girl, which made me wonder about the silly lip-synch vid that probably introduced me to that darn song. It's still on YT, too. 19 years. Sheesh. The days when ppl just randomly uploaded stupid stuff for giggles and it wasn't all "subscribe, hit that bell, sponsor" and MrBeast-like thumbnails. I kinda miss those days. Kinda.

You can use them of course, but you will get the accuracy malus and so on and also you cannot use the modal since taking a shield proficiency is weird for a Devoted (unless you go with fist a main weapon). As Okkes said: Tuotilo's Palm is an exception because it works as an "unarmed" weapon. I would use Unbroken then because you also get +1AR when using a shield - which is very good to have as a tank.

Just a thought it would be fantastic to see seasons in the game, however the day night cycle would have to be slowed by about 50%. Seasons would make the game pop as there would be more spiders in one season, more ants on another and so on and so on. Night-time,I rather enjoy roaming around at night. It would be great if they implemented night only creatures and perks which would be amazing. The quick selection wheel when on a mount should be usable. I haven't come across deep bodies of water yet but it would be great to be able to build a base underwater. What does everyone think about this????

As a main tank I really like Streetfighter/Unbroken or -/Devoted. Devoted is nice with swords as main weapon, especially the Gladiator Sword which already has +1 PEN (when fully enchanted) and is perfect for a sword & board build which is obviously nice for a tanky setup because it also provides extra defense and a bit of additonal dmg. With additonal +2 PEN from the Devoted you will have very few "no PEN" issues - if if there are you can switch to your fist + shield (take Monastic Unarmed Training). Unbroken is great if you go for clubs (namely Kapana Taga) as main weapon and if you have party members who can terrify enemies. The club+modal lowers the Will defense by 25 points, making is a lot easier to terrify enemies. Terfifies enemies disengage randomly and then catch the nasty disengagment attacks for the Unbroken/Streetfighter (higher Sneak Attack, higher PEN, Deathblows potentially - all unlocked by Persistant Distraction). Alternatively Unbroken/Trickster can do all that by himself and doesn't need another party member with terrify and be even tanker - but will lose quite a bit of offensive outpout (lower speed and supstancially lower Sneak Attack while flanked). The main reason is that a Streetfighter/Devoted or Unbroken Swashbuckler can tank as good as Edér as a Swashbuckler (which is absolutely suffcient on PotD difficulty) but will have a significantly higher damage output. This makes playing a tank a lot less "boring". Once you get flanked - as it's common for a main tank - your streetfighter passive unlocks immediately, giving you +50% Sneak Attack damage and -50% recovery time. Even with a weapon & shield setup this is serious melee damage output by itself. Add Riposte for the occasional free attack and also Mob Stance (more speed and free attack when killing foes) this tank becomes a decent werecking machine while not giving up much tankyness (if any). I played a Streetfigther/Unbroken themed as a "gladiator" as main tank with Bronlar's Phalanx and the Gladiator Sword (and later the Contendor's Armor and helm - those just for aesthetic reasons) and had a great time. I really like large shields on main tanks because the modal + Adept Evasion makes them pretty much impervious to AoE attacks - even if they come from my own guys. ;) Other good tank combos are: Paladin/Chanter (most prolific maybe Kind Wayfarer/Troubadour - needs attention towards additional engagement slots though) Unbroken/Trickster (as I said) Unbroken/Furyshaper (Fear Ward + disengagement) Paladin/Forbidden Fist (I particulary like Steel Garrote Paladin: enfeeblement + life drain) Shieldbearer/Trickster any Paladin/Fighter (Goldpact/Unbroken can have insane AR) any Paladin/non-Berserker Barbarian (engagement via Barbaric Shout) Tactician/Priest of Wael (if flanked -> becomes confused -> is now able to cast Withdraw as auto-hit on enemies to remove them from the fight for a long time) any Paladin/Wizard (except maybe the wizard subclasses you cannot cast Illusions, can be extremely tanky early on but needs additonal engagement if not Shieldbearer) any Fighter/Wizard Fighter or Paladin/Stalker Stalker/Ancient (lots of bodies: Sporelings + Animal companions - who help tanking) Lifegiver (Bear)/Goldpact (Gilded Enmity + Bear's hide grants very high AR with 0 recovery + lots of healing - needs more enagement though. Later great "aura-like" AoE dmg while tanking dmg via Sacred Immolation + Nature's Terror) And lots more... ;)

Yes, we call it the Government of National Unity There was this initial criticism from the parties not part of it that they cant call it a GNU for some obscure technical political reason but it was more about semantics Anyway that was ignored and we call it that One of the opposition parties even took the state owned broadcaster, SABC , to court to stop them referring to it as the GNU but they lost that case TimesLIVECourt dismisses application by MK Party to stop SABC from...The Johannesburg high court on Friday dismissed with costs an application by the MK Party and its leader Jacob Zuma which sought to prevent the SABC from using the term “government of national unity”"The Johannesburg high court on Friday dismissed with costs an application by the MK Party and its leader Jacob Zuma which sought to prevent the SABC from using the term “government of national unity” or “GNU” when describing the coalition government. Arguments on the application were heard on Monday. Counsel for the MK Party Dali Mpofu argued that the SABC, as a public broadcaster, had a responsibility to provide impartial reporting and that the use of the term was inaccurate. He said the SABC should refer to the current administration as an “ANC-DA coalition”. The SABC opposed the application and said the public broadcaster had not breached its editorial code by using the term."

Not much point in building a base perimeter if they just spawn right next to you. Please increase the spawn distance so they are coming to the base, not inside the walls.

One good thing about the Westminster system, can end up with coalition governments especially with PR. Perhaps unstable though

Almost operatic in presentation.

This was a really helpful post, thanks for the write up. its exactly the information I was looking for, I'm looking forward to trying these builds out The trickster subclass does look great, thanks you replying! Looks like a really strong option, also from a dps contribution side

I don't like Radahn, not the regular game Radahn or the promised consort. Design wise, he's just weaksauce. I did beat him though, I think I used a shield nerf build so I didn't have to jump and roll constantly.

Being better than Russia or China on a democracy scale is a very low bar.

More stuff from the "it's new to me" file I can't help but giggle at the "What exactly is the meaning of this?!", seems like someone being very impudent with God

I would love to see a way to customize buggies so me and my friend's buggies don't look exactly the same. Whether it be as simple as armor/saddle dyes or just small things to differentiate them. It would also be cool to have the ability to use extra buggies as "guard dogs" where when the base or players get attacked, buggies will exit the nest to provide help.

Supreme Court Shocks World by Correctly Declaring Trump's Global Tariffs Unconstitutional Edit: Whoops I guess I wasnt on the last page when I added this.

The latest update added respawning mobs to the game, and I understand that a lot of people asked for this feature and I'm not asking for its removal, only for the option to turn it off. It’s genuinely a hassle having to clear a horde of enemies every single time and makes me put in less effort into exploration.

The entire idea of being shrunk down is always a fascinating concept, especially when a whole game is built around it. I feel like this idea often gets overlooked or underutilized. One thing that could elevate the atmosphere is the addition of large-scale events or visuals that remind the player just how small they really are. For example, I think there should be an event where something massive appears in the distance, not necessarily destructive, but just there to set the scale. A great reference for this is how Dune handled the sandworm: something so huge and grounded in the world that its mere presence creates awe and tension. Grounded did this brilliantly with the crow in the first game. I’d love to see this concept expanded even further, perhaps a person walking by, or a pet exploring the far side of the yard, just visible in the distance. Whether or not the player can interact with them doesn’t matter; the sense of scale is what matters. Another environmental take could be a storm rolling in far away, thunder rumbling and trees swaying. Or even better, something underground stirring like dirt subtly shifting, hearing distant tremors, feeling the tension of something immense moving just out of view. Not an enemy or boss, just something alive and massive, reminding you how small you really are.
