posted this elsewhere, but a guy bought a bunch of the new MTG set, and mistakenly got sent a bunch of boxes of the NEXT MTG set instead. since he runs an unboxing youtube channel, he did the natural thing and unboxed them on camera, spoiling the entire set before WOTC could announce more than a single card they teased a few weeks back.

their response was to send the pinkertons to his house to seize the cards:

this is an insane thing. it is insane this happened. it is not necessarily SURPRISING, but it is absurd, also probably very illegal

whats good about it

Fixes a lot of the problems with turn-based menu combat, enabling positioning, and speeding up of combat when it's done well. KotoR ain't it, but Earth of the Righteous has a great implementation of switching between both. I think the turn based mode was really only useful to me in fights with swarms where being able to take advantage of turn sequencing let's you cheese swarms a bit.

Mr. The Pinkertons: Well I have bad news and good news. Our background check found that while you had a thin veneer of civility and sophistication, you were actually a totally amoral monster with zero sense of empathy or feeling of personal affinity for your fellow humans. As a result, our client has decided not to offer you a job.
Dejected Candidate: And the good news?
Mr. The Pinkertons: WE would like to offer you a job.

The one problem I had with RDR2 was that you didn't get to kill enough Pinkertons.

It was my understanding that project died, but im not entirely sure? Or why it was put in indefinite pause mode. Haven’t personally seen anywhere that has any sort of insider information as to what happened. I was really excited for that remake though. It feels like a sure win, so something really bad had to have happened that made the developer pump the breaks on it.

The original is pretty dated now, but it’s still one of the best CRPGs and best titles from BioWare. Such an extremely well crafted RPG.

are they still remaking kotor 2? that's the one i think really needs it, because it's the best star wars game by far but it's so fuckin buggy and full of missing content. but for the duration of one game star wars managed to be interesting because it was star wars and not despite of it, a feat never replicated before or since.

KotOR2 was never getting remade, they were planning to add the cut content to the Switch port last year but Aspyr haven't said a single thing since they got punted into the sun when someone looked at the KotOR remake work.

i must have gotten mixed up. that's such a shame. i've been wanting that cut content since some madman did an LP where they restored it on this forum. maybe it's time for me to download that mod finally.
