Heroes of the Storm: Alexstrasza in dragon form actually isn’t any tankier at all (even if she looks it) and wins fights by aggressively backlining no matter what

DnD (yeah the tabletop): The game really gets broken by Spellcasters once you understand that even if their damage is better than martial characters, the most powerful spells are generally AoE crowd control (Entangle, Web and Hypnotic Pattern) or story-warping RP spells. Also of note: the martial builds for Bard and Warlock are full casters that can still do almost everything a regular martial can do. An important part of mastering the game is realising how horrendously imbalanced it is

Dwarf Fortress: This is literally the core gameplay loop for the first 200 hours

Tbh I didn’t truly realize how deeply fucked the class balance was until I started making a really really big homebrew that required me to build and balance eight classes (operating on the personal principle that since it’s a team game, all the classes should have roughly equal impact).

This philosophy right here is the fucking devil when it comes to designing co-op games

(I can link you my big homebrew if you like to play DnD 5e, by the way)

We care because making boomer jokes, even if tasteless, is SUBSTANTIALLY less important than the general health of labour unions, worker’s rights, and job security.

Can confirm, if the trains ran early enough for me to take one to work then I definitely wouldn’t have a car right now.

Kind of insane how badly our rail network (and postal service) has degraded, apparently it used to be really good, like five times faster than it currently is. Alas… Fucking Tories got their hands on them.

What games can you not get into because they feel too outdated?

Are there games that you tried but just couldn’t get into because they feel outdated? Games that, in theory, you would enjoy, but don’t because the controls, graphics, writing, or mechanics just don’t feel good anymore. Games that, compared to today, just don’t hold up to your standards....

Damn, that game sounds amazing as a concept though. I’ve been really looking for something that’s a decent dragon-based game which doesn’t involve the dragons being relentlessly shat on by the story/all being dead or super rare.

How bad are we talking, exactly…?

I’m listening. What’ve you got?

Rest in peace Blizzard, you deserved better than someone who went the full extra mile to lick Xi Jinping’s boots. I wouldn’t ever expect a gaming company to stand up to a full-blown authoritarian government, but there’s no denying that that incident was the one to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that any heart and soul and principle that really made Blizzard special was dead and gone and never coming back.

We stand with Hong Kong.

Ben Wallace may be a Tory (very bad), but as far as Tories go, he’s the only one I’m aware of with the ability to actually focus on his job. I’ve never heard anything about him or from him apart from the occasional update on Ukraine, and for that, I’ll at least go so far as to say: I don’t think he’s a clown. He is a strong contender for the Most Competent Tory.

Hyper Light Drifter would be my personal recommendation. My playthrough lengths ranged from like six hours on my first run to like, an hour and a half when I decided to try and beat it quickly? But the game is really gorgeous, and a lot of fun to play

Seduction would have been like winning the Euromillions. Extremely nice, but totally unrealistic and I know it. I just wanted a nice chat and some pocket money after trekking all this way.

@TacticsConsort@yiffit.net avatar

I wish, oh I wish.

TacticsConsort OP ,
@TacticsConsort@yiffit.net avatar

Probably the only thing that could convince me to head back and finish the game tbh.

TacticsConsort OP ,
@TacticsConsort@yiffit.net avatar

I feel you. I REALLY feel you. I’d say more to commiserate, but everything I’ve got to say on the matter is already up there, and while I’m upset, I don’t want to rant everyone else into being frustrated. Best of luck to you finding someone you can save in your games?

I could, but after getting burned so badly in BG3, I’m very much feeling cautious about touching anything else this studio’s made.

TacticsConsort OP ,
@TacticsConsort@yiffit.net avatar

Thank you kindly. But I know that it’s just not a realistic expectation.

TacticsConsort OP ,
@TacticsConsort@yiffit.net avatar

If this becoming a copypasta is what it takes to get me some dragons who have happy endings, then Holy my Hell.

TacticsConsort OP ,
@TacticsConsort@yiffit.net avatar

Yes, exactly! There’s nothing wrong with a tragic hero, but when every hero is not just tragic but tragic to a degree that I doubt most writers would even be willing to inflict upon human characters, then it’s clear that something else is needed to bring balance and freshness.

TacticsConsort OP ,
@TacticsConsort@yiffit.net avatar

But am I wrong? Making an unreasonable complaint?

I know that most people don’t like dragons as much as I do, but… is it really that weird to want them not to get screwed to the Nth degree?

Boy he literally murdered his closest, oldest, and most well-intentioned friend in cold blood, threw the body in a dungeon, and let their soul find no rest for several centuries.

TacticsConsort OP ,
@TacticsConsort@yiffit.net avatar

Yes, but I was under the entirely reasonable expectation that I would indeed get my niche thing (that being three or four lines of dialog), given the game’s overall setup, mechanics, advertising and franchise. It wasn’t just not included, it was actively averted as hard as possible.

Would you not be disappointed in the same circumstances?

TacticsConsort ,
@TacticsConsort@yiffit.net avatar

Better late than never. I’ll certainly not complain.

TacticsConsort ,
@TacticsConsort@yiffit.net avatar

I’m so glad to hear it, honestly! DnD’s been an absolute favourite hobby of mine and it’s really nice to see it going a bit more mainstream while preserving the things that make it special (the ability to do almost anything you can think of).

(Now to get Pathfinder one of these…)
