Would it surprise you to learn a Paradox game released in a state which needs major mechanics overhauls and some amount of additional content?

Thanks in part to Stux endlessly ranting about the sequel a while back I played Anodyne because it was free on PS Plus and that was really fun! And weird! And like half the trophies are completely broken!

A+++ will definitely buy 2 when my paycheck hits.

Super mega baseball 4 has early unlock tomorrow.

Official release june 2. Don't care much about the legends stuff but some of the other gameplay additions sound interesting like extra character traits. Plus a bunch of new stadiums is nice. Here's hoping visual modifications can be copied over online so I don't accidentally remove the blowfish from my game permanently again.

I'll certainly give it a shot. I initially wrote it off, but after looking at it a bit more I'm interested by the new mechanics.

It's just a very bad, ill considered game. Its systems are either nonsensical or non functional, and they've already got the sycophants on Pavlovs expansion/patch treadmill. It honestly makes me so sad to see what could've been a great and intriguing game modeling social movements, internal politics, trade, and expansion reduced to a shambling mess of incoherent systems with a non functional AI for other states.

I gurantee you between the last three pages of the thread their is one person admitting that the game was poo poo before LastPatch and one person hopeful that the game will be finally good in NextPatch. Whole game has been a loving disaster from the start, PDX needs to regroup and refocus so they can remember how to make a loving video game instead of a DLC distribution device.

I installed Shockwave just now by following the instructions at https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/339173/how-can-i-play-dcr-shockwave-games, including installing Shockwave via their mirror, then installing the Pale Moon 32-bit browser, then doing the registry fix for modern Nvidia GPUs, then some of my favorite old games worked again. I used to play this candy-themed miniature golf game in the eighth grade during fifth period where we were having six weeks of computer classes (between six weeks of art and six weeks of P.E.) and they had us do easy things like draw in MS Paint and I got an A for using that tool that makes curves like the edge of a pencil's graphite to draw confetti

also there was this other one called Merlin's Quest which has one of those "press four buttons four times in the correct order, but not necessarily all the buttons" puzzles in the form of discovering the formula for wizard's gold, and the cube looked like the tesseract from the Avengers movies when you got it right

https://unstable.life/flashpoint-database/ is also great, everything's there that I wanted to be

I hope the fortnite transformers actually transform but they have to label it as "convert" because they legally can't use the term transform without weakening the trademark

nope, not even the MTG transformers cards, which both properties are owned by hasbro, can use it, it has to use "convert".



it's my favorite bit of incredibly stupid dancing around of legal rules. if they use transform(a word they cannot own) as a core part of the transformers(a word they can own) themselves, it might lead to them losing the right to own the term transformers. it's very stupid

I thought they didn't use transform because they didn't want to have it overlap with the pre-existing transform mechanic
