The nemesis system is cool and does a great job of making orc captains varied and interesting.

Ima try that soon. I installed that sweet rear end recently to test the new RAM.

i beat record of lodoss war: deedlit in wonder labyrinth thanks everyone. its very good but maybe not as mechanically interesting as the toho game they made a few years ago. it's also set up like toho luna nights where its 6 discreet stages on a map there's not a lot of map searching. its pretty short and not very hard but thats fine. looks and sounds very nice it's impressive its just like 3 dudes + a composer basically. thanks.

Just beat Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel and Quake Mission Pack 2: Dissolution of Eternity, milord.

I’m pioneering a new pioneer program. It’s called Wormskull’s Excellent Achievers Youth Program. Qualifying is simple. You buy 1,250 Overwatch loot boxes and record your reactions opening them in 2160p (preferably 60fps). Send me the videos. I have a tax specialist. The loot boxes are completely tax deductible. Then I will send you a letter of recommendation and further instructions. You’d be doing a good thing for the community.

4. The Outer Worlds

I was playing through this last year some time and sort of petered out, it turns out I was only about a mission and a half from the end so I finished it. It was alright, although even at about 20 hours start to finish it felt like it outstayed its welcome and was getting a bit samey. Probably worth it if you really love Fallout and wish that it was in space.

I think I beat that too last year but the game felt so lazily made after the first World that I could of just got bored. What’s the last part.

Just beat Her Story. Or I assume so. It’s a piece of crap and the actress is boring but it was kind of titillating typing in what seemed like important words until the story started annoying me rather just just being boring. 8/10

It’s not really beaten (Listen bros. I’m beat to poo poo these days from manual labor and I’m old. The way I’ve been gaming, he’ll - I played this game for 12 hours and got to a place in it where I don’t know what to do and lately that’s as good as beating a game to me, especially an old rear end petrified turd like this. So lay off.) and I might return to it someday but,

Wasteland 1 (1986 orig.) The version I got on steam has some nice modernity improvements but it’s still like playing an old DOS game and has the ancient charm as well as admirable ambition in the gameplay that’s compelling even now. I went through a series of 4 or 5 menus to make my Player Use their Attribute of Strength to break open a rusting steel door and it was tedious but cool every time, especially if I had to press even more buttons to find a more cleverer way to blow the door out. Or whatever you might be dealing with and it’s surprisingly (to me, since I didn’t play Ultima style cRPGs in their time or much as an adult) reminiscent of the depth of a Divinity 2 today. The sense of humor isn’t that great (I think a fallout writer wrote it and it shows) though having played a little of the sequels it’s way less AIDS. Plus it has funny quaint RPG phrases like
You are approached by
2 Deranged Ranchers and
3 Deranged Ranchers and
2 Vicious Babies
      at 44 feet.

They probably didn’t program nearly a quarter as many possibilities as the concept suggests but, I think their Use system is really neat not just cause it makes the possibilities possible, but being faced with something and having a choice of like 8 attributes, however many items you have, and whatever skills from a list of like 16 that your character has, makes it feel like you could have blown an opportunity a million times before when you finally discover it, but discovering it sometimes feels really secret and clever. So I like it. Obviously I guess any kind of way you put in a bunch of possibilities requires programming them if you want to have a structured CRPG environment lol… but I think this game did it quite epically.

I actually do want to come back at it with a bunch of gimmick builds and see what I can get up to. Love stuff like that.

Also I don’t know why I think it’s nice really but when one of your created or original squad mates is fully dead (they go from UNC, SER, CRT, MRT, COM, to 💀, able to be healed by an appropriately skilled medic or Doctor Shop, until they are 💀. Also if they are merely UNC, they can regenerate HP (which actually can be so irritating in battles because of how it works that I might call this fact the absolute worst thing about the game lmao - you can be stuck fighting a herd of 8 Desert Lizards you stumbled into at the wrong time for 30 real life minutes (unless you reload like a bitch) having to slowly and excruciatingly hope one of your guys is fast enough this turn and lucky enough not to be damaged and re-UNCed and with enough power actually get off an attack that doesn’t miss and kills at least one of them. Then he will be UNCed by the next lizard’s attack and then you have to re enter the encounter with someone who just woke up and will probably be immediately killed or, worse, be the last one in the rotation and killed on the very last turn of the potentially something like 27 the lizards could have taken, uh I lost my train of thought since I’m on a phone. Anyway lmfao. The regenerating while UNC is really hosed up.)))) when you disband them it asks if you would like to bury them instead of Disband PERMANENTY?

Man that’s something else really interesting about the medicine and medical statuses. Least to me. Is that if you are playing without like, reloading if one of your characters dies or whatever, I guess playing iron man /tyle which I feel is the intention from being able to always (if you survive the journey back) be able to refill your party with a new recruit that’s to your liking more or less. Usually if you will win a battle the worst that will happen to you is you have to hope the RNG is good to you with the UNC and recoveries. But if it’s possible for you to gently caress up or sometimes just from really bad luck, you might win but the monster will have damaged someone enough to make them SER, instead of UNC (or maybe target an UNC character and further damage it), which in time will progress to the ☠️. And then maybe they’ll keep you stuck in the fight long enough for the character to get outside of your medic’s skill level. Or they’ll put them there in one insane hit and you manage to land some lucky poo poo of your own and kill them. Then you have this drama of having to remember where the Doc is and how can I get there the safest and fastest and all these other choices you have to start making and it’s really stimulating and dramatic and - you know maybe reloading to avoid really tedious poo poo and pure bullshit or whatever is fine - but if you play it play it without being a little save scumming twerp all the drat time.
