Cancelled does not = failed.

Oh hey, NODE used my template.

It is! I haven’t played in a while with all these games coming out but everyone’s comments is making me want to go back and revisit some of my powerful female rulers. Your story sounds fun but that is the charm of the game. Every player could create it’s own scenario and story! Paradox makes good games, I should look…

I have a “friend” that refuses to play as or engage with any female characters in games. I will never understand it. He attributes it to being an old school RPer, but that has never really made any sense to me, seeing how RPing allows you to do anything you want.

This reminds me of a guide I found on the Paradox forums for Crusader Kings 2 where you could plan your game so you could only have female rulers. It involved a lot of murder and planning using in-game mechanics, no mods. Brutal.

Not even lying or being facetious when my first thought was “Okay, these are good reference screenshots from the game, but where’s the cosplay to compare?”

The small teaser thumbnail picture I clicked on had me going “okay, that’s the render, let’s see the cosplay... wait, that’s actually the cosplayer?”

The funny thing is, that certain segment of gamers will get all riled up at any comments on the maleness and whiteness as being SJW whining. But if it was six women of varying ethnicity and two dudes then they'd be bitching about the game pushing an “agenda”.

Any smart sentient robot knows you have to back-up to the cloud.

Just looking for an excuse to throw it out there to look clever at any mention of Hitler, I’m assuming.

Huh. If this is how they’re gonna handle all their communications with their new openness policy, I could get behind it.

It’s much easier to watch if you think of it as a nod toward the existence of Gaiman’s iteration of Lucifer. On that level it’s lots of fun. If I’d been expecting a remotely faithful iteration of Gaiman’s character, though, I’d be bleeding out the eyeballs.

as with most things related to PC gaming, your mileage may vary.

XCOM 2 Bebop. I’m not sure why ion bomb decided to mash-up XCOM 2 and sci-fi anime classic Cowboy Bebop, but you know what? It works weirdly well. (Warning: this video will give you glimpses of a few later-game alien types. Also “Tank” will be stuck in your head forever.)

Being an adult just means your closer to death than you were before. So actually enjoying yourself should be in a decent position on a list of priorities.

That or he can take the american approach: let his friends play the game for him, then hop on to beat the last level and claim credit for winning the whole game. Heyoooooo!

Ah, yes, payment via osmosis. It’s the wave of the future.

Venting the heat offboard only raises the aircraft’s visibility to heat-sealing sensors. Another option is to develop a thermal accumulator...

Yeah, sorry, by “use” I meant “fight with one”. Although that may just have been Knights of the Old Republic and I’m getting confused.

Strange dystopias.
