  1. KickStarter The Wayward Realms - upcoming Daggerfall-like RPG from original Elder Scrolls developers - coming to Kickstarter in May

    I usually think people are too quick to accuse things of being scams. Game development is not simple or automatic; sometimes things are started with the best of intentions and go wrong anyhow. That said... This is a scam.
  2. The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition - Obsidian's first-person sci-fi RPG set in a corporate space colony

    My theory is that the core plot conflict was conceived by someone who thought in terms of ideas, while the actual script was written by left-wing tribalists. A conflict of ideas can have nuance and tradeoffs. A conflict of tribes just has the Good Tribe and the Other Tribes Who Are Evil. And...
  3. Wellness check on H. P. Lovecraft's Cat?

    I'm guessing there's bipolar depression in the mix as well, given how his posting pattern alternates between "I am the greatest thing since sliced bread" and "I am worthless and the only reason I still exist is because I suck too much to kill myself successfully". Can you mix lithium with booze?
  4. NSFW Best Thread Ever [No SJW-related posts allowed]

    There's already an established concept of "image rights" that applies to people. You can't just use an actor's image without permission, and that includes technological reproductions. This concept should also apply to voices, mutatis mutandis.
  5. Games with an open mission structure

    If you go very old school, Ultima V. The goal of the game is to rescue Lord British. The actual mechanics of doing so are simple: obtain a McGuffin and bring it to where he is held captive. The core of the game is figuring out what you have to do, and that can be done in any way or order you...
  6. Microsoft buys Activision Blizzard

    Taking money from idiots with poor judgement - truly Microsoft is doing God's work on Earth.
  7. Bioware is immortal

    If you exude crazy vibes sane people stay away from you. You end up surrounded by other crazies who do crazy shit. Lather, rinse, repeat.
  8. What happened to "mature" art direction? Everything is Overwatch now

    Well, they could, but only if the 'people' who want them pay for them.
  9. What happened to "mature" art direction? Everything is Overwatch now

    People outsource their thinking to the internet. Instead of thinking for themselves they just pull a conclusion from the net and consider that knowledge. When they encounter conflicting viewpoints they pick sources that tell them things they find emotionally congenial. The push for censoring...
  10. The Legend of Heroes Thread - Trails of Cold Steel in the Sky

    If memory serves me correctly there are 55 playable characters in Reverie, although some are only usable in the True Reverie Corridor.
  11. The Legend of Heroes Thread - Trails of Cold Steel in the Sky

    Tell me you haven't played Trails Into Reverie without telling me you haven't played Trails Into Reverie.
  12. Game News Outer Worlds Free in a Week

    No matter how cheap it gets, I'd still have to play it.
  13. Decline Video-Game Executives Lament Lost Creativity at Developer’s Show GDC

    This is akin to a serial killer lamenting all the lost space in his basement due to the dead bodies piled up everywhere.
