Brazil is a democracy (we managed to save it at the last toll of the bell), so the president is not an all-powerful entity. A big part of congress is conservative, many backed by agro businesses, and a lot of the rest are right-wing vultures posing as fundamentalistic evangelicals who support selling the country out for the biggest margin of profit, so that they can live in the glory of lord while their flock of idiots awaits for the supposed arrival of the messiah.

I played the next fest demo, it has some potential, but character movement was super floaty, and combat felt okay at best. The main puzzles in the demo were also braindead ones, like skyrim first dungeon level of puzzle. However, I really liked the idea of their journal and investigation system, and the dialogues were good as well. I'm not sure this game warrants this much hyping.

Yeah, mate! No problem, aye, just remember to seed.

Why are you being downvoted? I can't believe people are not able to see the clear sarcasm in your comment.

I have the exact opposite opinion, I hated how bloated 3.5 was, and how broken and unbalanced were the original classes, so my first hands-on experience with 4e left me feeling refreshed. And I was never against the more videogamey design, as the outcome of that was a game that was considerably more balanced and more tactical.

200 million in a SINGLE DAY?? Holy fuck...

Yeah, this is the way to go these days. My bank offers this feature in app, and I have a separate virtual credit card for each service. All I need to do to cancel a service/subscription is to cancel that credit card. Good luck trying to get more money from me. This is especially useful for those "free trials", sign up with a credit card that deletes itself after 24h, and bye bye.

I agree with you. The OG souls experience is one where the boss is the culmination of the hard work you have to put into traversing and exploring each area, after which you're rewarded with a sick fight. A lot of souls-like games don't understand this at all.

I'm not a fan of the transition to a f2p model, the home screen looks like garbage now, and the whole UI is more polluted because they're constantly trying to sell you something now. I have 1000+ hours in Siege, but stopped playing around the time that Sens released. Recently hopped back to check the update with some friends, and it's clear the game has lost scope. Basically all operators released since then are just copies of a previous operator with a very slight twist. Gone were the times when people got excited for a new siege season because we wanted to see what new ops and maps were coming. Speaking about maps, the new maps also look boring and uninspired.

Ashen is quite good.

Noita and Exanima are also two great explanations of when to make your own custom game engine: when nothing else on the market does exactly what you need your engine to do.

Don't fall for western propaganda. Even if you had a peaceful and democratically elected government, you'd still be a target for the USA. Your government would get couped and then they would install their own pariah government in place, destabilize the country, cause suffering for the populace, and then reap the profits from your natural resources until you'd have nothing. That's their MO.
