I did too! It was fresh and fun :)

You may be interested in one of the designers talking about their “why” for the choice :) it added some context to it, and also made me not expect to see romanceable companions in every game.

I appreciate the thing Obsidian do where they seem to make things in parallel so there’s constantly income (in theory) - hopefully still do good games and it’s a way to stop layoffs after projects end. :)

This is brilliant! :) aw, I hope it benefits the OpenRA developers and means more fun things to play eventually :)

Wait… this is EA… are they okay? This is very unlike them

This was a great read! Thank you - crazy to me that I’ve never heard of this company before, and a nice new rabbit-hole to explore! :)

Thank you so much for this! I never ever see anyone share open-source setups like this for non-hobby work, and it’s inspiring. :)

(Ramble incoming)

I noticed since jumping from windows I’m missing Ableton, and it’s been a mental block of knowing that I’ll need to choose a new way to do things. It’s daft as I loved ardour and LMMS back in 2014, and I’m sure they’re even better now :) I totally need to dedicate some time to music, it’s been a neglected piece of my soul for a bit too long. :)

Edit: also, Plug Data looks brilliant! I loved MaxMSP, and it got me into game making/coding. :)

You could even say people have a Fear of Music!

For me, the last “ah yes, the future” moment was going from “broadband” to seeing real fiber at a friend’s house that was 100x faster. Insanity at the time :)

Thank you for the rundown! :) It’s utter voodoo that it runs looking the way it does! :)

For an obsidian game, light on roleplay isn’t my first thought usually, but neither’s combat especially - it’ll be fun to try it out! :) They haven’t put a foot wrong, so hopefully I’ll be aboard for this too.

thank you again! :)

Low doesn’t look half bad! :) I’m not sure how I’ll get on as I’ve not bought a new game in a while, so that’s nice to see as a worst case! :)

How is Avowed? It looks great and I’m excited to get it when money allows :)

You can’t just make me vanish into a dark room and listen to an album…

… yet here I am, and I thank you. :)

Yeah… I got a disappointed look… 😂 thank you, excellent

Eww yeah

https://heckifiknowcomics.tumblr.com/ had more comics, from a DDG search at least :)

You’re absolutely right, totally different family - I need to get tested properly and find out what’s okay to eat/be near :) mostly negligence on my part! 😅

Interesting… I am very intrigued by this, and will keep an eye out for it!

Great question! I’m not against the idea at all

Well… in truth, I need to get tested - I’m definitely a no-go on almond and hazelnut (i have the hospital trips to prove it!), but peanuts are just a precaution at this stage -it’s easier to avoid the lot if you see what I mean. :)

Woof! Wholewheat is classy, and a little snap never hurt anyone! The fact I’m not alone makes me very happy 😅

Definitely! It’s a solid game, and each game is pretty self-contained, especially new vegas as the setting and writing is very “self-contained”. There’s nods and things, but I never felt like I missed something. :)

Also it’s just a lot of fun, especially if you like choices and RPG things like perks :)

Is this like mint sauce you’d put on lamb? Peanut butter is allergy death, but mint and strawberry interests me!
