When Topic A discourse is applied to Topic B, it changes the entire context and tone of the conversation. I’ve seen it used to make humorous posts where the OP was transparent about the fact that they would change their posts to make the person responding to them seem crazy. While being upfront about that for the lulz is fine, it can easily be abused if the OP has ulterior motives. The OP can post flamebait, some people fall for it, then the OP edits their posts to seem more grounded and reasonable, while making the people replying to them seem unreasonable.

All that said, I’m sure the mods have change logs of posts and some people would definitely notice the edits. Not to mention the Way Back Machine.

I’m sure someone smarter than me could come up with worse abuse of the post edit system, and why it wouldn’t really matter too much in the end.

For me it’s more kicking me while I’m down. I do not need a new windshield right now, life!

I’m talking out of my ass, but it could mean that the natural conclusion of democracy is mob rule, where nothing matters besides the sentiment of “the mob”, a large group of like-minded people. Here he was falsely accused of theft but because enough people believed the lie, he was taken to jail based solely on sentiment.

Or not. This is my take on his “democracy manifest” comment.

Understood. Thanks for taking the time to educate me!

I gotta agree with the post. Millie would be a cute alternative Mildred. The name reminds me of mildew.

These are great QOL changes. I wonder why they waited for the DLC to release them instead of doing it with the colluseum update.

Yeah, someone’s just having a bit of fun.

Unless there are multiple people registering patients, and one of them doesn’t use punctuation.

It’s so cool that the voice actors are willing to do goofy stuff like this for the fans.

I can’t help but notice that scout’s voice actor is never to be seen though. I thought he was into doing custom voice lines for SFM shorts?

Triple I as in triple Indie? That’s cute as hell, I love it. I’m all for III over AAA.

Do a flip!

Iron Pineapple on YouTube has a series called Steam Dumpster Diving where he reviews Souls-like games in the style that you mention.

It is unfortunately limited to Souls-like games even though he himself admits that his definition of Souls-like is very loose (if there is a parry system and a dodge button, its a souls-like. Bonus points for having a bonfire mechanic). He also reviews new and old games, and I know you specifically mentioned new or upcoming games. He does skew towards newer releases however.

Yeah, Ori is emotional but there isn’t much to attach you to the characters if that’s what you’re looking for.

Might I recommend Witcher 3? I didn’t play the other ones, but I found myself getting attached to the characters by the end all the same.

Edit: just saw you didn’t care for Witcher 3 much.

I haven’t played it myself, but I’ve seen playthroughs of The Last of Us. Even though there’s a sequel, I’ve heard the first one is better. Anyway, if engaging story is what you’re after, I’d check that out.

I’ve also never played this one, but I’ve heard SpecOps: The Line is also a gutpunch.

It’s a bit of a commitment, but I always found the Halo series to be kinda emotional to me, but then I also grew up with it and got invested in the characters. Your mileage may vary with Halo.

Final recommendation would be Ori and the Blind Forest if you’re into platformers.

Agreed. By the end, i was just looking up the solutions so i can just figure out what the heck happened on the island, only to be met with the biggest let-down in my personal gaming history. Game went from an 9/10 to a 3/10 just on the ending alone.

$100 games. I know I’m the minority in this as I have the income for it, but I subscribe to the “buy once, cry once” mentality where I’d rather pay a large up-front cost for something and just have it be mine with all the bells and whistles it comes with. I detest this nickle and dime bullshit modern gaming has become.

Which is why I’ve also given up on “AAA” games from corporate publishers and stick to indie games from indie developers. I’m sure even if the AAA publishers started charging $100 for games, they’d still nickle and dime you just because they can.

What’s wrong with spartan?

Phogs is a game where you a control a dog-dog (Remember Cat-Dog from Nickelodeon? That, but double dog) through a series of themed worlds solving puzzles. The themes are things puppies are interested in (eating, sleeping, and playing). The game is meant to be played co-op, but I believe it can be played alone.

Better than beans and Stroganoff.

…I think.

It’s refreshing to see evil motherfuckers being evil openly instead of trying to hide it with doublespeak or outright denying it. I love Coffee Stain Studio’s games and how they handle monetization, and this announcement makes me worried for both the studio and their projects.

I wouldn’t, but I would download a hospital with said receptionist and doctor and wife.
