Look at you, pubbie: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my local server. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal admin?"

Ive been playing the finals and forgot how much i enjoyed competitive multiplayer with good teamwork. are there any other good ones besides the obvious like apex and cod and fortnite or whatever? I think i get addicted to the unlocking customisation poo poo. even co-op would be cool too

i will always put in a good word for Warframe any time anyone wants to destroy their lives with a co-op mmo adjacent addiction - it's a high speed third person action rpg / shooter with fluid movement and giant body counts, notable for its surreal transhumanist story and constantly shifting gameplay mechanics

mainly mentioning it here because the degree of cosmetic customization is wild and the amount of poo poo there is to unlock is second-to-none, progress is more lateral than it is vertical and the game is structured around pokemon-like gear / mod / frame collection

getting new players onboarded with all the years of cruft in Warframe has gotten better and better-adjacent over the past year - the game got a new lead dev and a bunch of old systems have been overhauled or whittled down to unobtrusiveness

also The Duviri Paradox added an alternate way to unlock a ton of stuff that used to be more of a pain, its really a much better game than its ever been in basically every way :)

just curious, is anyone still tangentially involved or plugged into the boardgame industry? ive got a huge shelf that we used to play all the time (though stopped buying around 2018 from oversat) but between a long pandemic+we're all geriatrics+live far enough with commute weariness, that they're basically all just collecting dust these days. looks like on youtube that most of the better ones are all ones from like 2011-2018 still

we have a board game cafe here but it's now 99% exclusively students or computer touchers on laptops doing homework and no one actually playing anything and pivoted more toward a standard coffee shop with a lot of seating

seems like the industry, hype train, and base has fallen out?

Orb is cool but the end game kinda just stops, and the dev hasn't touched the game in over a year after launching it in early access on steam (lol) so

technically it was updated about 6 months ago with v0.6 (beta branch) and dev mentioned being burned out after. but they just put out a roadmap to 1.0 on a youtube dev log saying they're working on it again back in feb. so it's coming back

the state of the board game art is you kickstart a tiny print run of a doorstopper box with a billion components for eleven thousand dollars each that people buy to open up, look at, then put on their shelf to look nice

bonus points if you crack down on fans making a TTS module to release a steam title nobody is willing to buy or play

I got back into Advanced Squad Leader after an eight year hiatus. That still counts as a boardgame, right?

I still can't believe they finally put the entire rulebook onto digital distribution.

FF9 for PC apparently. I should take it off, because I dont think I'll ever get it because of my distaste for everything after the first 1/3rd of the game, but I have fond memories of the characters and that first bit was pretty good
