CALIGVLA

Technical Death Metal. Depending of the band you get this ridiculously crazy and sophisticated instrumentalism and polyrhythmic beats like Archspire, other times you get more progressive, experimental groups like Blood Incantation that mix and match genres and soundscapes.

In fact, the newest album from Blood Incantation is a good example of that, one moment you’re listening to fast blast beats and then it suddenly takes a hard turn into pink floyd and slowly starts crescendoing back into fast Death Metal over the next couple of minutes. It’s an absurd aural experience to say the least, but I really like experimental music that pushes boundaries even when it doesn’t totally work.

bethesda doesn’t seem to be able to improve the core gameplay because the engine can’t cope.

No, Bethesda can’t improve because they keep catering for the lowest common denominator, engine has never had anything to do with it, it never has. They don’t need a complex RPG system with a ton of flashy new things; New Vegas wasn’t complex, it was fairly streamlined as far as RPGs go, what they need is better writers and better game designers that know how make interesting worlds, quests, characters and gameplay mechanics.

even if you fixed the writing and tossed out the awful procedural generation in favor of hand-crafted environments, at it heart it’s still going to play like a stripped down borderlands 1

Because they’ve been dumbing down their games since forever, bring back more robust roleplay with more actions and consequences, fully fleshed out mechanics, get better writers. Just look at Fallout: London, despite the bugs everyone that has played it agrees it’s the best “Bethesda game” since New Vegas, another game that wasn’t actually made by Bethesda. I’ll repeat: the problem was never the engine.

then everyone left is just fundamentally bad at designing games

Obviously. The problem with Bethesda was never the damn engine, they’ve been consecutively dumbing down their games ever since Oblivion. The only anomaly was New Vegas made by Obsidian, which are actually competent at making RPGs and even with the dated FO3 engine at the time they managed to make one of the best games ever. The problem was never the engine, it’s their game design philosophy.

You don’t want to play on Linux? Get a steam deck… Which runs on Linux! 😀

Ingenious.

Sure, and if you don’t uninstall Galaxy, go through some hidden menus and download the installers then your GOG games will be gone regardless.

We what? WE WHAT?!

Xandão wins yet again, suck it Elmo.

The idea of extinction periodicity has been criticised due to the fact that the hypothesis assumes that most or all extinction events have the same cause, when evidence suggests that extinctions are likely the result of a variety of causes that are unlikely to be cyclically induced.[8]

Once you realize that only one mass extinction has happened due to a meteorite it kind of becomes obvious it’s a bogus theory.

Or the fact her face looks like it’s melting like butter.

For real, I’ve saved a countless amount of money on games by using this site for the last decade or so. If you’re gaming on PC and you don’t already use it (or something similar) then you’re doing yourself (and your wallet) a massive disservice.

I don’t really mind early access, but it really depends on the game, stuff that is very pick-up and play like roguelikes and shooters is fine, but anything story based or long is a hard pass for me.

That’s like Rune Factory? I thought it was more like Minecraft/Terraria but top-down. It’s been living in my Steam wishlist for a while too now, waiting for a decent discount.

Never thought I’d say this, but I’d be down to vandalize this “museum”.

I probably would’ve already gotten it if wasn’t early access, the possibility of having to restart a game that requires a lot of time commitment is a deal breaker for me, so I’d rather wait until it’s finished. On another note, I’m kind of tired of so many Stardew Valley clones, I wish there were more games like Rune Factory instead with less farming and more RPG and dungeon crawling. I think the only one like that that comes to mind is Sun Haven(?) and that one has been in my backlog since forever now…

Mixed and mostly positive reviews… Oh boy.

I used to go on Twitch all the time like 10 or so years ago, but nowadays I rarely go there anymore. Most of the streamers I enjoyed either quit or got too big and/or corporate, and their chats are just meme and emote spam nowadays so I don’t even bother with it in case I do end up watching them.

I do watch smaller streamers from time to time, the interaction is much better, but nowadays I prefer to watch VODs so I can skip parts or rewind and so on, it’s just a better experience overall for me.

Regarding your question, why delete your account? I mean, if you don’t plan on ever using the website again, sure, but otherwise why not just keep it in case?

Certainly better than more TikTok…

The Huns would like a word with you.
