Similar risks I would say. The UK by and large chose “the sensible option” in the last general election. The equivalent of Harris/dems, or the “anti chaos” option.

Reelecting Trump vs reelecting the Tories is a fair comparison, especially as the Tories are moving further and further right wing.

In summary the labour party have about 3 years to make some noticeable impact to people’s lives in the UK, but all that against the backdrop of huge financial issues incurred during the past decade or so, increasing war and conflict and now the Trump presidency.

There very well maybe people who will follow the conservative party on their way further right. The UK already had it’s brexit moment and has not really learned from it fully.

He is also an amazing roleplayer

Check out Haunted City, the blades in the dark RPG actual play podcast. Abu is the chaos agent in this and has some amazing scenes. One of the best

It’s worth a ton of money so yes!

I’m fine with the onion, it’s the cheese that’s the problem

Yeah I think that is the general sentiment on 2. I didn’t feel this way at all when I played it.

I think the themes in 2 are so powerful and explored in interestin such interesting ways. It tackles growing up and responsibility but also obviously politics, protest, immigration, racism.

True colours gets in to some of these more global themes too, albeit in a much narrower scope.

I guess 2 was a lot more ambitious and clearly didn’t land for people as successfully

I thought the writing was excellent, especially compared to the first game. It also had a bisexual storyline for what it’s worth but I generally thought it was such a great expansion of all their ideas.

Also loved the free teaser game captain awesome, and how it crossed over into the main game.

I feel like they really were stung by the overall reception of it, that we lost the storyline we’d have had if it had gone over well. I thought it was vastly superior personally. That said I’ve enjoyed all the games in the series. Before the storm feels janky at first but does have some decent writing in it also.

Stoked for that and Blood and Rage early next year as well

Thanks for sharing this. I love the series so I will play this, tbqh I’m not sure these events mark Deck Nine out much from the industry as a whole sadly.

Off topic, what did y’all think of LiS2? I thought it was a real shame that it didn’t do as well as they hoped.

Used to be the norm back in the day though. I’m saying 15 years or so before the old internet disappeared with AWS etc.

Self hosted should be an option and I think this is a reasonable requirement tbqh. Yeah it’s not 0 work but it’s not a hardship either, really, given the many hours that are going to be needed on netcode anyway. Especially if you know this going in to development.

100% and I hate the massive queue they insist on having by not optimising anything. So I never go there

Yes, why to do this?

It is a usually 30 minute comedy podcast that’s basically all like this article, and Steve Hogarty is on almost every episode.

I read this in his voice which makes it funnier tbh

Kid A was class when it came out

If you use Steam you can search on the category “Choices Matter” FYI

I completely agree. I want a new bigger one! I thought the writing in 2 was great, considering how cringe some of it was in LiS and Before the Storm (which I still loved anyway).

LiS2 is a brilliant brilliant game

I know exactly the part you mean and same. Amazing moment. I also LOVED the sequel. Criminal that it didn’t do as well as they wanted because I want them to make an even bigger version next. True Colours was pretty good though

Amazing game if you haven’t played it. Don’t read spoilers and just let it unfold.

It’s a shame because the film with Seimetz is called Upstream Color and it’s great. I saw it before the allegations so I’m glad I have an unfettered experience of it.

But yeah
