Gah, you’re right. I had it that way at first, but then glanced down a list to check my count and they listed 2002’s Harem Adventures as a separate game even though it’s just the Java phone port of the original.

I’d just like to point out, for the record, that that isn’t the original trilogy. Sands of Time is the fifth Prince of Persia game.

There’s a board game called History of the World that does something like this, where score is tracked per player, but you play as a new civilization every turn. (And, depending on the draw, may wind up fighting against your previous civ.)

It’s a good game, but, yeah, it’s hard to imagine that working in something like Civilization.

You say that as though he isn’t one of them.

Indeed, friend citizen. Would you like some Bouncy Bubble Beverage?

It also helps that Steam sales are nowhere near as good as they used to be. I don’t even remember the last time I saw a 90+% discount, but there was a time when they’d pop up regularly during the winter sale.

But yeah, these days my standard for even considering a purchase is “will I play it right now?”

I’ve been having a good time with Heart of the Machine, in which you play as a nascent AI figuring out how to survive in a sprawling cyberpunk city.

Hmm. I wonder what the nature of Owlcat’s relationship with GW is? Was the recent Rogue Trader game part of an ongoing licensing deal or just a one-off?

Pfft, catapults. A trebuchet can launch a 90kg advertisement over 300 meters.

He did specify a large 3D printer. So it might be 2 or even 3 feet in length.

I think TES NPCs have been reacting to clothing since Daggerfall. Back then it was just a disposition modifier based on the total value of what you were wearing, but still.

It’s amazing how often things are similar to what they are.

maybe there can be spin-offs in this case

They haven’t said they intend to stop making D&D games. And every D&D crpg in the last 20-odd years (since Torment, I think) has been set in the Forgotten Realms. So it seems highly likely that future games will be loosely related to BG, just without that specific title.

I would love to see them bring back some of the weird old settings, like Dark Sun, Spelljammer, or even Dragonlance. But I’m not holding my breath.

Jojo Rabbit featured Jewish Maori Hitler and was very well received.

I don’t think there’s much they could do to make the environment more interesting, since the setting is what it’s meant to be

The hell it is. According to the in-game book Provinces of Tamriel:

Cyrodiil is the cradle of Human Imperial high culture on Tamriel. It is the largest region of the continent, and most is endless jungle.

Emphasis mine. And when I say in-game, that book was literally in Oblivion.

Oil is corrosive? Doesn’t it usually prevent steel from rusting?

Not exactly what you’re talking about, but LeVar Burton Reads is amazing, too. It’s like Reading Rainbow for grownups.

Yeah it was my first real encounter with wh40k, and I really enjoyed it.

That said, I felt that act 3 massively overstayed its welcome, and act 5 seemed kind of vestigial.

In retrospect, I also think the RP and faction system didn’t really work given what it’s meant to represent. You’re supposed to be unimaginably wealthy, with the output of entire planets at your disposal. You should be able to get a basically unlimited number of anything non-unique. But the way it’s implemented means that your ability to actually purchase anything is still limited by the value of whatever junk you found lying around, in a way that is significantly less flexible than a traditional cash-and-vendors rpg economy.

Oh, and can anyone give me an in-universe explanation for why “scrap” continues to be a limited resource after Kiava Gamma and/or Vheabos VI?

Well, that all came out sounding rather negative, but as I said I really did enjoy it. Those are really my only complaints.

It’s actually not quite an exception, because cocaine is a Schedule II drug (can be prescribed as a vasoconstrictor or topical anesthetic) and the Maywood plant is the only facility licensed to produce pharmaceutical grade cocaine in the US.

So the coca leaf extract they sell to Coca-Cola is technically a byproduct.

I’m not sure I would trust modern Bethesda to remake Morrowind.
