Uh, yeah, sure about Diablo and whatever. But, uh, what the fuck is this

I’ll forget I’m a hyper intelligent demigod for a moment and slum it with you mortals over this jovial exercise.


To be fair, Bethesda games are a fucking train wreck at launch so this is like an article saying this is the dryest water they’ve ever made.


It’s faithful enough to 5e that my partner and I broke out the players handbook to do some long term class planning together. A couple of things are different, like buffs to frenzy barbarian and changes to roleplay feats or spells to have a more mechanical benefit.

But yes, as a long term DM for 5e, it’s faithful to 5e.


Your inalienable right to free speech is to protect you from the government metering your speech. Free speech is speech free from governmental control and oversight, not from consequences. If you want to reference a legal document more relevant, look up the terms of service/rules of the forum.


They want private progress. They want to be the industry leader in whatever it is. They’re not progressing humanity, they’re making a great fiscal quarter.



I want to say I’ve read an interview that he doesn’t stop updates because he doesn’t run out of ideas and the sales haven’t stopped yet. Or maybe that was Terraria. Two similarly dedicated devs.


Steam Summer Sale - What are your favorite Local Multiplayer Games?
What great local multiplayer games are on sale right now? Online is fine, but nothing is better than cracking open some cold ones and getting in front of the big screen together. Here are some of my favorites. [Towerfall Ascension](https://store.steampowered.com/app/251470/TowerFall_Ascension/) - $3 USD with DLC - Local multiplayer archery game made by the creator of Celeste. Celeste uses the same sort of movement as Towerfall so there's dashes, dash cancels, and snappy jumps just like you'd expect. This is my most played game of all time. The DLC is basically mandatory, as it gives you access to the Steam Workshop for user made levels. [Divinity: Original Sin 2](https://store.steampowered.com/app/435150/Divinity_Original_Sin_2__Definitive_Edition/) - $18 USD - Has to be the GOAT split screen RPG. Local split screen, and the screen merges when you're near each other. Each of you can take one companion and it's like a small MMO. Okay your own game or play together. My partner and I have put in dozens of hours and we have maybe 100 hours still left if imagine. [Moving Out](https://store.steampowered.com/app/996770/Moving_Out/) - $6.24 USD - All the moving day frustration of "bring your end towards me, no the other way" without actually having to provide a pizza as payment. My group of friends got about three hours out of this before we stopped really loving it, but that works out to $0.50/hour/person at this price, and we might even crack it open again another day.

I feel like over time No Man’s Sky feels increasingly like I have too many mods installed. Every update felt like it had its own hub and NPCs and progress track that didn’t interact with any of the others. The game is still huge and it has turned into the game everyone was disappointed it wasn’t at launch, but I felt overwhelmed on which things were part of the core story I needed to complete and which parts were rabbit holes that wouldn’t connect to that.


Host different communities based on different parts of the game. For Minecraft this could be split up into Survival, Creative, speedrunning, Skyblock, or similar. Your users already have an account and login from wherever they come from. And on top of that, you don’t have to obey other site’s rules, because you are the site. Seems like a good deal if you can attract the audience
