Getting closer. I’m so close I can taste it.

Charles Dickens was cooking when he said hell was the chains forged in life by the evils we did, blown by cold winds to those we hurt in life, forced to witness the lives we could have helped while being forever disconnected from them.

A few more Battletech minis. Decided to go make the teal sparkly this time for the clan mechs because that's how the aces box looks to me.

Orion Reeves, Periphery mercenary, piloting a Merlin.

The most important Alan Wake question:
Herald of Darkness or Dark Ocean Summoning?

Oh god.

Was thinking the same thing. “Lynchian” means it’s a dreamlike meditation on the death of the American dream and the evils hidden behind the facade of innocence, not “bad”

What if, you set it at like this base where they test experimental veritech fighters, and the pilots have this rivalry, and there’s a girl, and a robot idol with some skynet vibes.

Tracing movie stills, I think

Thirteen to go. Getting a good feeling at a project so close to being finished.

Just play Ruby’s rebalanced mod. I know anyone buying this already has the MCC

Two more down, fifteen to go.

But highly ambitious neo-gothic horror rpgs don't come out every day, which combined the gritty streets of Max Payne, the comedy horror of Buffy, and the deep conversation system of the old Fallout games. So despite selling like crap, the true believers kept it alive over the years.

Ironically, for the reasons Vex pointed out (extreme anti-asian racism in the third act, flippant treatment of mental health common to it's source material, et cetera), Bloodlines is probably the one that's plot has aged the worst of the bunch. But...

There was a spark there, which is what happens when a company is made up of former Fallout devs, but all three games were saved by their loving fans digging into the guts of xmas rushed games made by a company that was in the red it's entire existence.

Troika made three games in it's history: Arcanum (near unplayably broken on release), Temple of Elemental Evil (ditto), and Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines (take a guess).
Occasionally brilliant, massively interactive, shit to play all three.
