toilet skeleton is a trope in environmental storytelling. bios shock, skies rim, etc if you look in certain bathrooms you find a skeleton in the toilet with a piece of lore stuck to him.

None of that in Horizon. The only skeletons are the machines, and they don't have anything on them. All the lore is stored across loose data pads and audio recording devices.

Some of these missing features from the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress are pretty yikes. I think I'm going to stick with the last release for a bit longer

totally fair, just had to toss some money at the devs. there's this really good video from a few years ago that i never got to the end of, and since i started playing again i finished it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAhHkJQ3KgY
it's a really good mini doc about the history, and at the end, which i only recently saw, he explains that the steam release and attempting to monetize the game were the result of some health scares, and the reality of expensive medication. it was a harsh dose of reality in a video about a game where dwarfs punch goblins so hard you spend a half hour trying to find all the scattered teeth.

also i will name the dwarfs. after oa and bios's deaths i immediately took the dwarf named after my brother off his military unit assignment. gotta be careful.

What happened? Why did they get removed

Farecoal: There he go

Apparently he had to cut a few things to make the release on time. I don't blame him at all, and I'm not even saying it makes the game bad, I just won't switch to the new version for a while. I'm really glad he and his family are getting the money they need though. Probably should have put "annoying" instead of "yikes"

I played a lot of that a while ago, but kind of fizzled out of it. Maybe because I beat it? I don't really remember. It was really good though. The archer kicks rear end.

EVIL Gibson: Internet of Things is just someone else's computer that people can't help attaching cameras and door locks to!

Playing Luck be a Landlord . It's a reel building game where you buy the symbols to put on the reel of your Slot Machine to try to make enough money to pay the landlord.

The game has interactions between symbols from the normal "card suits next to each other make more money" to "toddlers destroy all presents, pinatas, and bubbles giving you 6 coins each" to the billionaire increases the value of surrounding cheese and wine by 2x. Also gives 39 coins if the billionaire is destroyed "

I was gonna buy pokemon violet with some xmas eshop gift cards but I chickened out and got metroid dread

metroid dread is, so far, real good. It's a lot like samus returns (which I didn't finish) but much better.

I'm a bit confused about the new Hitman Trilogy. Do I only have to buy Hitman 3 to get all the missions from 1 and 2, or do I have to buy them all separately?

According to pcgamingwiki, for people who don't own any of the games;

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/HITMAN_3#Version_differences posted:

To obtain all available content a newcomer needs to obtain HITMAN Trilogy, HITMAN Trilogy Premium Add-Ons Bundle and HITMAN 3: Seven Deadly Sins Collection.

I'm sure they made it this confusing on purpose. That, along with the always online thing, makes what is otherwise a very good Hitman trilogy icky to purchase.

Edit: Probably the only game with 4 paragraphs of nonsense like this at the start of its wiki page.

quote:

Owners of HITMAN 2 will automatically receive the appropriate "Access Passes" containing content from HITMAN (if owning that content already in HITMAN and HITMAN 2. Importing levels from HITMAN 2 and its 2016 Legacy Pack from Steam to EGS can be done here. See the Player Guide by IO Interactive for more information. The game requires a constant internet connection for some features to work properly (Contracts mode and Challenge progression). The game makes a distinction between online and offline saves; online saves cannot be loaded while offline, and offline saves loaded while online will put the game into offline mode.[12] The game will be renamed to HITMAN - World of Assassination with all content from HITMAN and base game content from HITMAN 2 becoming free for all players of HITMAN 3 on January 26, 2023.[13]

Simsmagic: im beautiful

If you own Hitman 1 and 2, you unlock those levels in Hitman 3 automatically. If you don't, you can buy the Access Pass DLC to get those levels without cluttering up your library. The Hitman 2 Standard and Hitman 1 GOTY Edition are the ones you need to get the prior levels, anything else is just extra missions and cosmetic DLC.

They don't seem capable of wording this in a non-confusing way on the storefront.

thank you dumb sex-parrot for the wonderful sig!

Replace "capable" with "willing".
