The problem with user bios is they reveal how vapid and uncreative I am.
A family friend graduated from a liberal arts college, had an R congressperson come for commencement. He just rambled about AI and also medical advancements like the US hasn’t had a falling life expectancy. Probably a pretty similar speech to this robot’s.
This month I tried out a bunch of games from Chinese developers because I really wanted a hit of Wuxia/Xianxia.
First I tried The Matchless Kungfu. I would desribe it as Kenshi meets Kungfu movie meets idk a game where you place map tiles like Betrayal at the House on the Hill. I thought I wouldn’t like it that much and ended up enjoying it quite a bit. I got about 30 hours in before running out of content because EA, but there was a point that it clicked and I had a great time.
I then tried The Lost Village. It’s a Xianxia colony sim like Amazing Cultivation Simulator. Unlike ACS, it’s actually fun. It’s also EA to the point of some pretty big overhauls being done, but there’s a lot to like so far. The colony sim which is relatively barebones supports and is supported by several different types of… maybe minigames? Doesn’t feel like the right word, but there’s a horde survival mode, two different takes of room-placing dungeons, and a couple of “Send your dudes by spending energy and buying upgrades to try to take out the enemy base” kind of modes. Certain aspects of it are pretty 
, like female character designs and the entire dual cultivation system, but it’s probably the best Xianxia game out there I’ve seen so far (it’s so hard to find this stuff because Steam tags fucking suck, I have to browse Martial Arts).
I tried a couple RPGs, Tale of Wuxia and Heroes Adventure: Road to Passion. These style games generally aren’t my thing, but I figured I’d give them a try. Tale of Wuxia was definitely not for me. It’s slow to play, building bad (maybe? I can’t tell) led to me getting beat in most combats which are missed opportunities, and there’s a lot of text I don’t care about. Heroes Adventure is better - combats are quicker, I feel strong quickly (I play on easier difficulties), and the time limited things I’ve seen so far seem a bit more lenient. It still loves to have missed opportunities, which I am coming to dislike.
Finally, I recently tried an action game called The Last Soldier of the Ming Dynasty. It’s kinda mediocre, but Sekiro-like fans like me can maybe squeeze out a little fun. Part of it is drip feeding the complexity, which there’s a decent amount of. Not a whole lot to say either way, I’ve also played the least due to getting it recently
I love a lot of the things in the Dom series, I just don’t want to spend the time learning it beyond reading a guide.
Isometric RPGs are generally a no go for me, I think literally the Ubisoft dialogue cutscenes helped keep me interested and invested in the characters enough to almost beat it.
I rather liked Wo Long, even finished the main story mode but died out during the Koei “Story Mode, but Harder” due to other games catching my interest.
The only French indie game that comes to mind is E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy which kind of fits, is there any other notables?
It’s a link post to nitter, Hexbear doesn’t seem to be showing the urls right now but the title will take you there.
Someone in my friend group got really defensive about Kiwifarms being denied service by an isp or something and it’s definitely made me think less of them as a person.
There’s something about how you phrased this that blew my mind even though I already understood “Yeah dating apps suck because of capitalism.” Just wanted you to know you made someone do this 
Every now and then I rediscover Hydrogen from the Hotline Miami soundtrack and I just 
“Russia leaves Ukraine, then we can negotiate peace”
This was by the user rather than mod action, for opsec or whatever they were feeling.
There’s something sad to me when people delete their posts then their account, especially seeing a post I upvoted earlier that I can’t quite remember the content of, and I’m unable to piece it together from context.
The one you feed.
Alternatively, the Hexbear reading this.
Yeah, I can see where you’re coming from. Only looking at some of the SRD stuff, it looks like Blades gives you 7 dots across 12 actions? The hack that I was playing (Blades of the Immortals) had 6 dots across 9 actions and spilled a lot of ink to stress that making the players feel incompetent is bad and should be avoided, partially due to the genre being more dramatic than grim and grimy.
Why yes, I roll my ttrpg dice multiple times between actions to prime the rng generator for a good roll.
From my understand of running a single Forged in the Dark session Saturday, I would have thought that just relying on conditions and debuffs in general isn’t the intention, and they want you to be creative and use clocks and have narrative or situational consequences be tied to them.
“A Knight’s Tale” is a sports comedy but about jousting
