#DESTINYTOBER25: Nine

After Edge of Fate, I think Guardians might be a little wary about "gifts from the Nine"...

Imagine being so beloved that you have to make a special announcement to reassure the whole world that you’re not dying when your sister asks people to pray for you because you’re not feeling well.

What. I was going to get it anyways after the demo, but I never clocked they were the people behind the streets game. I loved that freakish “fmv” fighter.

Gushing reviews rolling in for Absolum. Not surprising - that demo (still available) was really damn good, and pretty replayable to boot.

For those unaware: Roguelite (Hades-esque) side-scrolling brawler from the gameplay team behind Streets Of Rage 4, paired with French animation studio Supamonks.

Fight as the outcast heroes of Talamh in a fierce battle to retake magic from Sun King Azra’s grasp in Absolum, an original roguelite beat ‘em up by Dotemu.

You know what I think we should all do? Just start reply to stuff with positive comments.

Dickheads are so quick to comment, how about we tell people they look good? Their art is cool? The event sounds excellent. Whatever. Fucking hell, let’s just be openly nice for once.

I will give credit where it is due, particularly because I have been pretty mean about all this. This is an unambiguous positive move and one of the better possible outcomes from all this? So, that's nice. Yay!

Kobold facts: kobolds do not like working for Beholders. While intelligent and powerful, beholders are not well known for hoarding wealth, often abuse workers, shun minions and condescend constantly.

These two truly do not see eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye to eye.

My dad drove us in a loaner Tesla this morning where Grok AI:
Turned itself on
Would not turn off
Instructed how to tell it to stop (did not stop)
Instructed how to tell it to play music (did not music)

After setting the volume to 0 and sitting in silence, an advertisement forced the volume back on

"'The more we try to understand what's going on in the world around us—the more we don't just withdraw into a hermitude of my family and I as a nuclear unit, the more we try to understand our society—I think the more these kinds of games speak to us,' Short said."

Founder of Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud publisher Kitfox Games says its procgen sims for sickos are 'giving storytelling tools back to the people when games and passive media took them away'

Streets of Fortuna, Kitfox's own in-development "megasim," is chasing that same systems-driven storytelling.

Mastodon is the only social media platform where I've never once seen a screenshot of a funny post circulating on other sites. I'm willing to revise my position if I see one, but so far it doesn't bode well.
