The single player portion is not exactly a tryhard game to begin with. If you stick with the same team the whole game you're already going to overlevel most challenges with or without the xp share, so you might as well just enjoy rolling the game a little harder :shrug:

I like a few of the maps in World better, but it has the strength of being a game that could be designed for the more robust consoles alongside the PC instead of having to accommodate the Switch. I give Rise a bit of a pass there because a lot of its shortcomings seem to be because of that handicap. Rise completely bins the Rampage missions for Sunbreak, which is which is where I'm at, so that's moot now. (I did actually enjoy the Rampage stuff, but I was only playing those with friends when we could coordinate poo poo over voice chat. I imagine it's way more annoying with randos.)

On the plus side, you get to have two pet friends with you at all times. Playing with friends means choosing between the more useful-in-combat palicoes, or the lets-you-traverse-faster-and-in-a-more-fun-way of palamutes.

Avoid the 40k thread imo, if you have casual questions or just want to BS you will be obliterated

I remember some poor dork who just wanted to chat about lore and the thread tore him apart for not just googling every question he had and it solidly discouraged me from posting in that thread outside of painting progress and specific current edition list questions

Historical thread did not have that problem, nor did the chat thread

Edit : Hell I posted a less than mainstream opinion about 40k Squats in GBS and somehow a TG poster found my posts just to tell me my personal preference was a mistake and misinterpretation of modern lore

I'll preface this by saying I gave up on TG quite a while ago because it was not conducive to me posting well, so no real idea of its current state.

Time was SA had one of, if not the best GW/40k communities around. Lots of arguing, but overall welcoming and constructive. With a pretty balanced and healthy distinction between criticism of the corporation and enjoyment of the products & hobby. For probably a decade it was an oasis in a desert of insular, creepy, sexist, gate kept internet communities. A genuine joy to be part of.
Over many years of entirely absent moderation and neglect that community soured. Toxic Fandom set in. The process started around 2015, and I think the great Lowtax-driven exodus to discords was probably the death knell for what it had been.

Last time I bothered to look at SA's community around the Games Workshop games it was utterly indiscernible from the relentlessly miserable shithole forums we used to mock and use as cautionary examples. A lot of people who were burned out on the actual products but couldn't just walk away, so instead created an atmosphere hostile to anyone liking things. For years there was a megathread devoted to Star Citizen-esque hate obsession with with the topic.

The point I decided I was done was when posters were whole-cloth manufacturing proof that the company which very loudly and publicly were going out of their way to directly and explicitly tell chuds to gently caress off and not buy their produce was secretly neo-nazis. Unhinged poo poo, endorsed by a moderator.

Like I say, my view is at least dated now so maybe it's not as bad as I remember, or maybe it never was and I'm that one Principal Skinner meme. Then again, this avatar was purchased by someone else to blank a homophobic one I was given for liking my chosen dumb hobby.

Either way thinking about TG and the warhammer-related hobby community on SA makes me feel kinda sad for what was lost.

Been playin through all the yakuza games for the first time ever in order lately. Took me forever to beat Yakuza 0 because i just kept doing karaoke over and over again. Then I did the same thing in Yakuza 1. Can't get enough of that poo poo. I need to beat it though I have like five more games with karaoke in them to play

This kind of thing happened with Blizzard too, though in fairness that's a different level of company.

I remember like an entire derail because a map looked slightly like a swastika which was clearly secret chuds putting subliminal Nazi messaging in their game, while one person with dev experience posted something like "it's surprisingly easy to accidentally make something kind of like a swastika if you need a map design with radial symmetry" lol

gently caress if the west got the DQM 1+2 3ds remakes with all those new monsters, I'd perpetually poo poo myself.

My DQM2 strategy book is one of my only surviving books from childhood and it's great for inspiration for drawing monsters.

yeah. you can still just use the same team throughout if you want. You're just making the game that's balanced so six year olds can beat it slightly easier than it already is. if you want a challenging pokemon game there's romhacks for that. or do a nuzlocke
on the other hand yeah making it a toggle that defaults to on presumably wouldn't be hard so i guess if that's something people want they should put it in

I've seen this happen in music discussions, here and elsewhere, where people offer up "bands with 'wolf' in the name are possibly fash" like they've cracked a code

Yeah no. It's right up there with Satan and Hell for paint-by-numbers band names.

Note that the site in the screenshot has info boxes for bands that list lyrical themes. For outright Nazi bands it will literally say "hate, antisemitism, national socialism." For stealthier bands it will say stuff like "nationalism, ethnic pride, European heritage." It's not exactly subtle.

They released a single in 1990 called "Easy Rider" then split up.

If someone finds it on youtube or whatever please let me know. It's gotta be better than Dickwolf.
