not now babe, 4 hour vid abt how fucked sm64’s code is just dropped

So far Lan party WoW is more fun than official wow

switched some shit up; was torn between the faith scalesword and this one, but ended up settling on this. i didn't really like the wyrm sword with this guy even tho it fit the aesthetic (clothes made from a dead god, sword from a dead dragon etc). folksh it hits hard as fuck but it was an absolute fuck to spec into (equip load lul). i hate that it has worse faith scaling but it is so fun to use i'm happy with the switch. too bad i have to spec into dex now.

but now i'm thinking of a build to use the greatsword, maybe a bestial/dragon/greatsword kinda thing, high fai high str hi arc

The New York Times Simulator is out now, free to play from any browser. It works decently on mobile too. It’s a meta news game about how corporate media manufacture consent for genocide, minimize police misconduct, and serve the ruling class.

The content of the game is literally “ripped from the headlines” in that it uses mostly real headlines (and even actual edits) from the NYT, the Wall Street Journal, and other “liberal” mainstream media. I originally wanted to make parody headlines but I just couldn’t come up with anything more shameless and contrived than what’s already out there.

Getting closer to level 20

Vintage Story is what happens when one of those people who make the ridiculous complicated Minecraft modpacks gets tired of working with jank ass Minecraft and decides to go make their own engine and do whatever they want with it. It's a beautifully complex, (optionally) brutally unforgiving, wonderful little game that I love immensely. You start out by banging rocks together to make stone tools and foraging for berries and wild carrots and trying not to get murdered by weirdly aggressive wolves and completely normally aggressive pigs. But it quickly opens up into a whole world of making pottery, learning the right ratios of copper and tin to make bronze, accidentally collapsing mines on yourself or accidentally setting entire hillsides on fire because you forgot the hill was made of peat, farming (don't forget to rotate your crops!) and facing evil hordes of eldritch monstrosities.

Also, I just love the mindset of the devs. Check out the "held to high standards" header on that main page I linked.

Anyway, getting to the point: I've already bought the game for myself and a friend, paid for the optional account upgrade that just gives me a different color name and a forum badge, and paid for the "pay what you want" soundtrack. So, the only thing left I can do to give money to this great game is to give it away to some of you guys, if anybody's interested in trying it out!

So, I have three giftable game account key things. First three people to say they want one will get one. So if you're a fan of this sort of silly Minecraft modpack, try it out!

Heckjivers is fun.
