I think I've exhausted what I'm going to get out of Empire of Sin. It seems like The Romeros are going to keep working on it and there's at least one upcoming patch I see in a dev branch, which is good because man that is a game that certainly has potential and uh, maybe not too much else.

ive been playing with magnuts tying to change the wold as we know it

Cyber Shadow is a really cool Ninja Gaiden style throwback. Good music and level design. It's got a good difficulty level where it reminds me of those old games but isn't bullshit hard in the way those old games are. One of the main things I remember about Ninja Gaiden is birds swooping in as you jump over gaps making you fall to your death. Cyber Shadow hasn't had any of that in the first couple of levels. It's neat! On game pass if you've got that.

Hey-ho, since theres another lockdown in here and its impossible to go and play Pool, is there any new good game to play snooker/pool, or is VP4 still a king?

WRT Sword City talk: the other game, Savior of Sapphire Wings, seems really cool so far. The "heart = death" mechanic is out, and is replaced with a...social link system. Doing battles increases your social links, where you can then have little dialogues in base that give you new skills and Union Skills. Higher social links also mean more bonus EXP for your teammates, and your party's total average social link level gives the MC their EXP bonus. Taking big damage hits or dying will lower your social link levels. The level curve is also way different - I just finished the tutorial zone and my party is like, level 5-7, so levels come fast and you're getting new skills often. I haven't unlocked Alchemy (cooking) yet, but the other forms of meta-progression are cool. Killing specific enemy types increases your damage against them after hitting certain milestones. For gear, you want to take it to the Furnace and melt it down to increase your gear level, which permanently increases the quality of all respective loot in the game (melting down armor means all armor is now stronger).

It's also been pretty easy so far? I had a party member die once because I was just AFK autobattling and hadn't left to heal in a long time. I beat the two bosses so far no problem as well. Hoping it doesn't spike too hard, I'm on Normal difficulty which is as high as it goes.

I've always been partial to the Yakuza series for pool, but I don't think that's a valid suggestion for you.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/investor-group-pissed-activision-blizzard-ceo-is-getting-a-200-million-payout/1100-6488906/

quote:

Investor firm CtW Investment Group is reporting that Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick is poised to receive a huge cash payout to the tune of $200 million. According to a statement, the firm is none too happy about this, as it appears to come as part of a loophole in the system. Right up front it bears mentioning that CtW is an activist investor group that has a mission to hold directors and executives accountable for what they describe as irresponsible and unethical corporate behavior. The numbers they reported appear to stem from their own calculations.

Kotick will reportedly receive this massive payout thanks to the "Shareholder Value Creation Incentive" provision in his employment agreement. This loophole allows Kotick to receive a full performance equity payout from previous years regardless of whether company milestones were reached. As a result and in the face of the company's share price increasing over 66 percent since December 2019, Kotick will get cash rewards dating back to 2017.

Oh well, hope those 50 employees he just laid off enjoy their $200 Battle.net gift cards

Activision exists to funnel money into Bobbo's bank account at any cost. It's incredible.

How old is it? We had a problem with that years back, turned out the brand of cat food we were feeding her (Whiskas I think?) was too rich so she kept throwing up afterwards. Switched to Felix with gravy and that sorted it.

Chat thread!

I am, once again, asking for your posts.

Someone in... I think it was the Steam thread but I can't find the post once shared a screenshot of their Steam categories and they were separated by "Energy levels", having Low/Mid/High/Weird energy categories, which I think it's a brilliant way of deciding what to play depending on where your head's at.

So, thread, tell me about your "low energy" games.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
When I don't have a lot of energy, I read instead of playing games. Otherwise, I guess roguelikes and other turn-based stuff that doesn't require me to be constantly paying attention would be it.
