I put a lot of time into Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader these last two weeks and finished the game. I had a great time with it, mostly because of the combat, I just really liked it.

Story is kinda meh, because in my run it felt a bit unfocused and bloated. It’s like the devs just wanted to cram as much 40k stuff into it as possible, so story threads just kinda fizzle out or something completely new gets suddenly thrust into the focus. It’s possible that this is because of my choices, how I did quests or if I did or didn’t kill certain NPCs.

This game also made me realize I don’t really like 40k. The whole setting and universe is just too ridiculous, dumb and over the top for me. I’ll still play the occasional 40k game, like Boltgun 2 or Dark Heresy, but it’s not a selling point for me.

I’m definitely gonna do a second playthrough, probably once the second season DLC is released. I actually started another run yesterday, because I just had so much fun with the game, and played through the prologue, making heretical choices, but I’ll try to finally give Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous a proper shot.

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.

Am now going to continue working on the Trails series. Trails from Zero right now and having an absolute blast!

Delphine from Skyrim. Mostly because I wanted to like her. I get why she is a paranoid mess, and if I held a grudge for every NPC that sent me on a stupid pointless quest this list would be miles long. It hurts because she was supposed to be on my side. One of the few people that was with me from the beginning, who actually wanted to find out what the heck was going on with the dragons.

Her ultimatum made me FUS RO DAH her off the top of Sky Haven Temple.

Jakeroxs,

The ultimatum was so stupid fr, like the only reason y’all exist at all is because he turned against his own kind. Just blatant blind racism.

the_crotch,

Parthuunax was a mass murderer and loyal soldier of alduin before he had his “come to Jesus” moment. If you knew about a former concentration camp commandant living in Argentina, and he was dedicating his life to feeding orphans the last few years, would it be racist to turn him in to the authorities?

Jakeroxs,

If its clear they’re making amends and have completely changed their worldview and it had been thousands of years and the punishment is death… No I don’t think I would.

the_crotch,

If they haven’t taken responsibility for their actions they haven’t made amends. Also, I suspect paarthunax is biding his time until the LDB dies and there’s nobody who can stop him. Thousands of years is nothing to an immortal, what’s a few decades more?

Jakeroxs, (edited )

What do you call the way of the voice and leading the greybeards?

His actions and words clearly indicate to me he has changed, literally the only reason Alduin was defeated both times, this argument is silly. Why didnt he take over the entire time after Alduins banishment if he was just biding his time.

Edit: to use your comparison, if said Nazi turned on the Regime, literally taught the allies everything they needed to know to defeat Hitler, was instrumental in their defeat, and then proceeded to spend the rest of their life dedicated to undoing the damage… Yeah I’d say that’s clearly a change of heart and at the very least they shouldn’t be put to death lmao.

Ballas from Warframe (at least they gave him the ol’ snip)

RizzRustbolt,

I suspect Wally is pumping him up for a crossover.

NihilsineNefas,

I’m not gonna lie the old peace kinda threw me off in terms of what the lore is, feels like I’ve missed something between the hex quest and the old peace

Woden resembling Odin (along with the name)

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”

Good luck with the move! Moving out? Or just moving to some where else?

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Just moving somewhere else. Moving out has been something I’ve considered but with my current situation I don’t really think it’d work out well

@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, (without knowing any of your circumstances) no need to rush to anything. Have fun!

Yoooo I recently picked this game up. I wasn’t expecting a platforming section coming up later to mae me put the game down.

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.

How about the most loved ones instead?

Katana314,

There’s an unfortunate dilemma there. When someone makes a Darth Vader or Joker character, many people like them, but some like them without a trace of irony, and genuinely feel that the Empire should kill those horrible rebels and that chaos should reign in Gotham. And that gestures America.

andros_rex,

That would be fun if you wanted to make a new thread!

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)

You would have hated my Fallout New Vegas playthrough lol. I was so hard up for Stimpaks that I was always at like 10 HP

stoy, do games w Forza Horizon 6's release date was briefly accidentally leaked in Forza Horizon 5

I don’t see a date?

theskyisfalling,

It says “Early access play starts 4 days early on May 15”, implying the release date is 19th May.

caut_R,

You‘d think they would‘ve shown more at this point if the release was this soon (assuming it‘s May this year and not next or the year after lol)

zikzak025,

There’s an Xbox Developer Direct next week that will feature Forza, I’m assuming they would have announced it then.

TheFriendlyDickhead,

Play 4 days early starting may 15

kbobabob,

Didn’t read the content linked in OP?

stoy,

I did, but I can’t read Arabic text.
