  • I don’t know if I agree that it’s perfect for one reason: the difficulty curve is weird. It does a great job of easing you in as you’re learning the game through the thoughtful upgrade systems and by slowly unfolding the stories each run. But once you win the first time, the skills you’ve learned coupled with the big Darkness payoff can make future runs much, much easier.

    Obviously the Heat levels are supposed to counteract this, but if you increase by one heat per run per weapon to collect all of the boss rewards, some players might not be challenged again for dozens of runs until the Heat modifiers start making a difference.

    Also the game won’t give me void fish to fill out the codex angry-hex









  • Libs today don’t think neocolonialism exists, that’s kinda OOP’s whole deal (although it’d be easy to miss as the only defense of this idea he gives us “it’s dumb if you think it’s real”). They think colonialism was bad but the Good Guys in the West ended it a hundred or so years ago and now the third world is poor because they have bad ideas/governments.

    You have to remember that liberals are idealists. As in, they believe that material conditions are caused by ideology. The West has better ideas and better systems of governance, so it’s more prosperous. They can’t believe that wealth in the imperial core comes from extraction in the global south because that means that the liberal ideology stems from the material conditions of global dominance and hegemony and not the other way around.

    “Neo-Colonialism is based” is what they’ll be saying after they’ve been scratched
