I wonder if a theocratic state built on a tyrannical religion almost isn’t worse, though…
I’ve not played Tactics Ogre yet, but that’s one of the next games on my list. I was going to start with Let Us Cling Together.
Godot?
How well does this work? Like is glare / not being able to see an issue? How much of the wall color shows through, or do you have to have a special screen?
Thanks for the recommendation!
I assumed Delita and Ovelia knew about the church suppressing the Durai papers, but you’re right that that probably wasn’t the case and even if it was, it didn’t tell her anything new.
Did Delita wipe out the nobility, though? Because he’s still king, and presumably has a court. He might’ve wiped out those nobles in specific, but it doesn’t seem like he achieved any systemic change - so what happened to Tietra will happen to someone else again down the line. I feel like that’s one of the points of his arc - he “doesn’t want to use people” but starts doing so because he has to, but in the end keeps doing so out of convenience, habit, and the damage he’s accumulated as a person. Him not ending the monarchy is the second biggest indicator of this.
Fair enough - and yeah, Wiegraf was definitely a stand-out character. When I first played it in 2000 I would’ve been scandalized and astonished by the idea that the church was secretly controlled by demons and were fundamentally based on a psychopath trying to rule the world or end it trying, but it felt weirdly grafted on to the class war arc and themes. I feel like the two plot lines could’ve honestly been separated into two different installments based on the same engine and both would’ve been highly praised.
I played some FF14, but got lost in the sauce of the seemingly never-ending story quest. The minute-to-minute gameplay wasn’t exciting for me, so I was trying to hold out for the super duper awesome raids I heard about, but those raids seemed to get further and further away every time I played.
I’m not sure whether to be excited about a remaster or scared. I played the PSX version instead of WotL already, and skipped the out-of-world tie in characters (Cloud / better Mustadio guy). I’d be interested to see what they do with it, but I might not end up playing it even though I’d love to see new Ivalice Alliance content.
IndustrialCraft still exists: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/ic2-classic
BuildCraft never moved forward past the block ID change in 1.12, but it’s still updated, IIRC.
Forestry hasn’t been updated in a long time, but with the addition of bees in vanilla there’s new bee mods to play with: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/productivebees
Logistic Pipes also didn’t make it past the block ID change in 1.12, but there are a variety of new storage mods like xNet, Integrated Dynamics, Applied Energistics 2, etc.
My personal opinion is that minecraft modding is a lot quieter than it used to be because Microsoft has been playing down the Java version (the moddable version) and playing up the version you have to pay for addons / mods (Bedrock). But there’s probably a lot of things contributing - aging demographic of the Java version, the fact that the mod API never happened and never will, disillusionment with M$, etc.
I might check that out, thanks!
Olan sees them ride off into the sunset on chocobos, but IDK. It felt kind of cheap, so I head-canon that they died.
+1 for Majesty. The combination of fawning over your champions while also absolutely cursing those stupid useless fuckers was fun.
Some of the CW Warnings for What Remains of Edith Finch (spoilers obviously):
Drowning, child death, divorce / arguing, pregnancy, child birth complications / death
Gosh Impossible Creatures was the coolest game as a kid. I wish we’d get a remaster.
Snake Pass - “What does a platformer look like without jump (or a regular walk for that matter)?” It’s really fun and unique.

I can’t imagine the pain of having your sight taken away, getting it partially back, and then having it taken away again purely by corporate greed.
While I disagree with your take that dandelions are bad, that’s a great mow job! How do you get stripes that pronounced?
Oh no, CrImInAlS. We’d better make sure only big corps can use this tech and legislate against individual use. /s
You good bro?
Blink three times if you need help.
Yikes! Thanks for the link.
The ActiBlizz merger needs to be shot down and Microsoft Games needs to be forced to split off from Microsoft. This tactic of “Make all the money in one sector, then use that unlimited money to invade another sector, force small businesses out by operating at a loss, and then enshittifying the entire sector to a state worse than it was originally” has to stop - across all sectors.
If you can’t survive in your own sector on your own merits without money from Daddy Corpo, you deserve to die.
I also hate that Spencer talks like “sitting on a big pile of cash” instead of gambling it on the market is fucking stupid. Classic “NOW NOW NOW” American capitalism.
