I am still hate playing the Oaken Tower Olen beta demo.
I also got back into Mindustry a little and let me tell you how much I hate having to juggle conveyor belts to move everything without getting things accidentally mixed up. Drives me crazy when I have to redo everything because materials are getting accidentally mixed in with the wrong lines. Especially in tight quarters.
Just some additional context, Woden is the Anglo-Saxon name for the same god, worshipped in England prior to the arrival of Christianity. Not too different from how the Roman version of Zeus is Jupiter.
The English word “Wednesday” also etymologically derives from “Woden’s Day,” like how Thursday is also “Thor’s Day”
Rogue Legacy. I really suck at these fast paced reaction games. But I’ll farm some gold casually, upgrade everything and maybe i can brute force the bosses.
On a happy note, I won a giveaway of Vampire Bloodlines. I won’t get into it right away, but it’s good to have it again after many years. Ah, the daughters of Janus…
On an eh note, I was going to quit Star trek online, but it started a gamma recruit event. So even though it’s fomo, I’m like “Yes Founder!” for about an hour almost every day. But by now I’ve got a lot of things i don’t use just sitting there collecting dust, so it’s probably on its last legs.
On a bad note, nah just kidding. No bad note for now.
Couldn’t play much this week, but I got an invite to Deadlock and have been playing that. I’m having fun with it, but I have very little experience with hero shooters and even less with MOBAs, so it’s really confusing at times and feels kind of unlearnable.
Palutena from Kid Icarus Uprising, especially because the internet loves her and Pit’s antics, when I remember most of it was mocking him and gaslighting. I dunno, I like a lot of other bickering duos in games, but she just reminded me too much of grating people in my life. Pit is fine with it, but I somehow doubt asking her to be nicer would help if I was in his position.
In a similiar vein, in Coffin of Andy and Leyley (after overwhelmingly positive reviews baited me into thinking it’s deeper than edgy jokes) I wanted Leyley to just die after an hour or few, but the difference is, she’s flat out evil, and comically so. Palutena is just the realistic, toxic family member, with the excuse being that gods are assholes I guess.
(I didn’t mind Pit and Viridi bickering though, probably because she was an antagonist and Pit/the game doesn’t praise her as much)
I finally got started on Disco Elysium. When I was playing Planescape Torment, I thought the game would have been better if it got rid of combat altogether and just be dialogue. And what do you know! Seems like that’s exactly what DE is. Awesome.
Playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater for the ps1 for the first time since I was a kid. All I can say is I must not have been good at it, this game has a surprisingly high difficulty curve if you want to get all of the points needed for the tapes.
Reaver gets my vote as well. He’s actually worse in Fable 2.
SpoilersHe will kill-steal the final boss, the man who murdered your sister (a young child) and who you’ve been hunting for the entire game spanning decades, if you don’t interrupt his monologue first. He does this because he finds him annoying, not because he has any real beef with him. There’s also a quest when you first try to get his help where he “tricks” you (it’s very obvious, but writer fiat strikes again) into sacrificing your youth to uphold his deal for immortality with some evil fae-like beings (beings who seem to be connected to Jack of Blades, the first game’s villain). He then betrays you to the final boss, apparently just because he’s an asshole. Oh, and he also kills a fan-favorite side character, one of the few people to show you and your sister kindness when you were destitute orphans living on the streets, because Reaver was annoyed that a photograph taken of himself needed to be developed before he could see it.
It’s beyond enraging that you can never get back at him for any of these things. He’s still around generations later in Fable 3, where he’s a wealthy industrialist exploiting orphans. Of course.
Saying “Kai Leng from Mass Effect 3” would be cheating, so I’m going to nominate Elro from Iconoclasts:
spoilers for the entire game- One of his superiors is nice to him and gives him condolences about his father, and offers him some time off of his job - so obviously he fucking murders her in front of everyone, potentially getting his coworkers’ in trouble. - He gets his wife and daughter killed, right after an argument with the former about how his sister (= Robin = the protagonist) is doing something that might get them killed - AFTER murdering his boss, who was an extremely high profile individual, so he should be running away rather than being exactely in the most obvious place he could have fled to.
He antagonizes Robin’s only ally (known to him), Mina, just because she’s black from another settlement with another religion.
No, he does not follow his own society’s religion - remember the murder? (kind of excusable, Mina also antagonizes him in the same way) - Seeking revenge, he goes after one of the responsible agents.
… with a sword.
And she has a gun. And she is effectively immortal (save for unconventional weapons (and he FUCKING knows this (again, he murdered one himself))).
But hey, Robin and Mina do have the means to kill agents!
Which is why he… locks them away from the fight, gets captured, gets his arm literally yanked off of him, and becomes a liability. - At some point, he insists on being the one to help Robin with a very important task on a risky quest. She has to fight off two agents, ONE OF WHICH IS THE ONE HE ANGERED, and when he has to push a button in order to let Robin go he decides “Nah it’s dangerous, she should just stay here. In a warzone, waiting forever for me to push the button.”
Thankfully he gets shot by Mina and his former coworker pushes the button for him. - Only after Robin fucking bodies God himself he decides that maybe she should be able to make decisions on her own.
