Oh, I just checked and actually they do work right now. It has been bugged where tapping them does nothing for me in the past though.

edit: Ohhh it doesn't work for me if they contain a link. That's what it was. Here, check this out. I can't tap this and have it show up.

Ive been playing South Park: The Fractured But Whole and it's surprising me more often than not. In a game where your power is farts and there is a minigame for taking a poo poo at every toilet, you are asked to label your gender, and the game first asks you boy/girl/other, then goes the extra step of asking if you are cis or trans, even explaining the concept of the two.

Then some rednecks come to beat you up (even if you're a cis male). It's a weird game.

With the original game (Stick of Truth), the censorship actually made it better (we had the censored version in the UK) because not only were the jokes unfunny anyway, the minigames were apparently terrible, like giving Randy Marsh an abortion or probing Cartman. Neither of those are appealing gameplay modes and Matt and Trey should have thought better of including them in the first place, given how poorly they were apparently implemented.

I'm reasonably certain that's been their entire shtick for basically their entire career. It's like "racism is bad and tolerance is good but people are still people and seriously, people just suck in general."

Yeah but they do progress through the years at about the same rate society does (while being just a tad "ahead"), which is unfortunate for their older content the further back you go. See: transphobia as an acceptable joke pre, like, last year, or varying levels of racism that are "not OK for even our dismissive joking" by their current standards being just fine a few years ago.

I'm glad to see progress either way; misanthropic comedy is always great because, like you said humans suck, and it means the humor and structure is actually funnier with recent stuff IMO.

Giving Randy an “abortion” made me cry from laughing. loving it up means you get game over’d from vacuuming one of his balls out. Yeah, it’s a lovely minigame that you’re almost guaranteed to fail, but it’s hilarious.

I reinstalled Enslaved: Odyssey to the West today, I remember the first (last) time I played it a few years ago I devoured it in a weekend.
The game is basically one long escort quest but it never feels that way. Its also nice playing an action game from the 360 era thats so vibrant, still in reclaimed-by-nature New York.
Its pretty linear but after playing so many open-world games recently, sometimes a tighter experience is refreshing.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
Shadow of War is more of an incremental upgrade than a full-blown sequel, but I'm enjoying all the little changes they made. I can't get mad at a bard Orc that threatens me with a song and uses a mandolin as a weapon or how Talion and Celebrimbor keep bickering at each other like an old married couple, with each of them making jabs at elves or humans.

The skill system is much more to my taste too, now you unlock an ability and you can also add an extra feature to it, so that useless Flash skill in the previous game that only stunned orcs and was a waste of what could be an execution now stuns and sets all orcs around you on fire. Similarly, the previous skill that was shooting an arrow at a bonfire and have it explode now is a teleport where you punch it to explode but you can also add that it summons spiders or ghouls to attack the enemies.

And the execution was also improved, IMO. While previous games with this system had you get to a certain combo number and use a finishing move, now you perform actions that fill a bar and when it is full you can unleash your special moves, without worrying about losing everything if you get hit once.

Just picked up Just Cause 3 in the Steam Sale. I don't care for how the opening cutscene shows the same cutscene bits that you have to tutorial your way through, but I do like how all these characters are (presumably) people we would have encountered in the previous games and they don't waste a lot of time with "My Best Friend Mario, remember him?". Also, while I'm not quite used to the tether/reeling in mechanics, I do feel like given enough time it will eventually click and I'll be able to do cool stuff.

The plot wasn't all that great, but the way the characters interacted was really good.

I like Shadow of War quite a bit. I don't think it's anything special, but of all the WB Batman combat engine games it's my favorite. It's not a game I would ever bother beating, but it's fun to play for a while until I get bored of it.

I liked that in JC3 the main menu screen has him leaning on a car and when you click play he just pushes himself off it and that's you right there ready to go and there's a car next to you.

One really neat thing I appreciate about Frostpunk: Roads are built in between buildings. So you can pack your buildings as tight as possible and always be able to build a road between them. Very important in a game about huddling around thermal pumps and not freezing to death, since the pumps are built directly on top of the roads.

Just Cause 3 does this thing where the game loads the main menu and you can fiddle with it while Rico is already in-game, just chilling next to a car. When you choose "Continue", it seamlessly goes from the menu to the gameplay. The thing is, the world is already active while you're in that menu and things can get...hectic.

Fractured but Whole was a fine game. I think it played better than Stick of Truth, but Stick of Truth was better written. Honestly, it's better than it should be for a South Park RPG.

*shrug* it's a decent game, silly humour aside. Obviously I knew what i was getting into when I bought a game where the main character's superpower is farts. But it's got a lot of neat little touches, like how when you're fighting in the roads, every now and then a couple people will call out 'Car!', and every combatant will step to the sidewalk to let it pass. Or the ludicrousness of how a group of kids end up talking on a crime ring while simply trying to find a cat for a $100 reward.

Like, humour aside it's a game where your combatants have back and forths mid-combat, depending on who you bring into combat, where you have like a dozen classes with four powers each to mix and match at your leisure, and there's this relatively large open world that combines adventure gameplay with the tactical rpg gameplay. It's neat. It's also a game where you use your farts to stop time so.

It's a good title because the juxtaposition of "fractured" and "whole" is portentous enough to sound significant but it's also a butthole joke.

You see, it's a reference to the fact that in the game, there are two factions of heroes who used to be one, fighting for dominance. And though they are a splintered group, in the end they are still, in their own ways, working towards a similar goal, and do so better when they are united.

Also, it is a joke about a broken anus.
