hey if you see all the Discourse today and want to like, actually play a musou, you should do that. it's a genre more people should try, because they're really enjoyable games that balance an action power fantasy with crisis management. Most Competent Team Player Simulators.

Incidentally, @beamsplashx.wethoughtaboutgames.com and I talked for *four consecutive hours* about the entire mainline series and hardly scratched the surface of how much the series has evolved. Look forward to that episode of We Thought About Games.

There is something to be said about not giving a review to a diehard but I think if you look at Dynasty Warriors as a series and say "it's never changed" you should be made to go back and play Dynasty Warriors 2 100% and then play just one level of Dynasty Warriors Origins.

Wild opening paragraph, maybe you shouldn't be the one reviewing a Warriors game then

Did you know that there are 113 games tagged "mecha" released this year alone on steam that DON'T have a big "AI GENERATED DISCLOSURE" sticker?

Here's a thread of 10 awesome mech-related games from THIS YEAR that DON'T use genai, and instead stick to good ol fashioned fictional evil robots!

The thing about young witches in the alps is that describes more than half of the Atelier series but self professed indie lovers would ironically rather die than acknowledge a non-AAA Japanese game

The framing of this is hilarious: Democrats deeply worried about the repercussions of a victory

As Mamdani nears victory, Democrats worry about national fallout

The progressive candidate is on the cusp of a historic mayoral win. And that's adding to unease among Democrats looking for a way back to national power.

For every $1 in benefits fraud, agencies spend $3.72 trying to detect it, based on the unproven assumption that means-testing lowers the rate of fraud. But there's evidence to indicate that trusting people to self-report what they need would be cheaper overall, even factoring in fraud/abuse.

Wish I could internalize this

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned "forever" into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it's a "failed" business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don't actually want to keep doing that, you're a "failed" writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it's a "failed" marriage.

The only acceptable "win condition" is "you keep doing that thing forever". A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a "real" friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a "phase" - or, alternatively, a "pity" that you don't do that thing any more. A fandom is "dying" because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it's okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don't think that's doing us any good at all.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

The thing about the relentless march of time is that you only get an ending (happy or otherwise) in fiction. Here in the real world no cause is ever lost forever even though we may not live to see it prevail. This is both hope and cautionary tale.

"This fucking sucks" and "all is lost" are two different sentences.

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.
