Oh damn, I thought knowing Vampire the Masquerade was a given in TTRPG circles. I'm getting old.

It's so funny when people get caught up with things like that.

It's also funny but a little sad when people's expectations of how colorful ancient times ought to be, or rather shouldn't be, create standards of "realism" that are completely opposite to how history really was.

Copyright is not "use it or lose it", but as it is, it is unworkable for digital media. Computer hardware doesn't last a century and with no other measures being taken to preserve that content, it's effectively doomed by the law. It also doesn't reflect a world where average people make edits of copyrighted content as a means of expression without seeing any problem with that.

Trying to never disrupt the Economy when the Economy is based on materially impossibly extracting ever growing profits out of a finite world is itself a futile self-destructive endeavor.

I'd love to read it! Sometimes I wish to do it but I don't think I could do it justice. I'm but a fledgeling bi occultist.

Given HP Lovecraft's known status as a paranoid raging bigot, I wonder if there's some game where the elder gods are cool actually, the "cultists" are just people broadening their horizons into cosmic queer transhumanism, and the investigators are just close-minded people wishing to restore their own sense of normalcy. Which, true to form, about half the time awaken into these horizons anyway.

Truly an eldritch horror for Cthulhu to inflict over a cis man

Big beefy warrior with a heart of gold and a peanut brain that could crush anyone easily but she would rather be friends with everyone and have everyone play along. It's a heartbreaking character to play in games that just assume all you're gonna be doing is killing, but it could be pretty cute as the muscle of more diplomatic sorts of campigns.

It must have been even longer for the Kickstarter backers who initially were told Silksong would be a stretch goal DLC

I get the risks of putting all eggs in one basket, but whenever people argue for competition using Epic as an example, a company that is demonstrably more anti-competitive and anti-consumer, it shows that they just think of the matter of theoretical ideals of evenness as opposed to benefits to the customers. I don't see any good coming from Epic having as much or more marketshare than Steam.

Unlike GOG which only offers DRM-free games, a substantial advantage compared to any other store.

Love the effort this guy is putting into it. I don't have The Crew to participate but I hope this pays off.

It's funny when your buddies pull mild pranks but I definitely don't like how much companies have adopted it. I could do without all the false announcements.

It's only fun when they do ridiculous stuff for real, like SEGA releasing The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog.
