Damn. My excessively long video about the zero is rookie numbers apparently.

To expand on one thing after I've slept on it: I really want to see a season 2 that places these excellent characters in a more compelling plot. Season 1's plot was simple and played it safe. Everything around the plot elevated it. That worked well for a first outing, but there's untapped potential.

It's worth it! The characters, dialogue, voice acting, and animation elevates a plot that was otherwise standard "we're building a team" superhero fare. I never tired of listening to and watching the characters interact. I opted to turn QTEs off with this one as I felt they undermined the animation.

The overall plot was fine, it was more about the details. Particularly the characters. As with the peak Telltale Games, it's impossible for me to know just how much changes if I made different choices. It seems like a decent amount, but I plan on playing it again soon. I'd love to see a season 2!

I may be dead before the stream.

I can believe it!

It's happening! At the intermission right now. So damn good.

I genuinely forgot that game existed until I saw this.

Two-spirit. I've only heard it in a Canadian context before. It's a First Nations' term.

I still haven't seen the classic Midway, but I can believe it.

It's been good for them, BUT all of them have Ryzen 9800X3Ds. That's the fastest gaming CPU you can currently buy. :/ One of them does have a 60 hour game in it so far without any significant slowdown. That says something at least, even with a CPU that strong.

My gaming friend group have been playing it for dozens of hours, and they've all been very critical of Paradox games in the past. It's apparently quite deep and feature complete out-of-the-box, which is not typical for Paradox. I can't comment myself as I don't play EU.

At least the trend with WARNO is going to obscure stuff now that the obvious things are in the game. I really hope they re-add East Asia eventually. They hinted at a new theatre in a recent dev blog. My guess is Scandinavia again to redo ALB.

The fundamental hurdle Eugen faces is their player base is overwhelmingly Eurocentric war tech nerds who'd riot if they didn't have all their preferred nation's best stuff in the game right away. I still remember the backlash to Red Dragon daring to not be euro-focused initially. Then it pivoted.

The mod was really good. I doubt I can ever go back to vanilla Halo CE now. Only a couple of crashes on a co-op run.
