This is the third post I've seen about Stanley cups and only now did I realize it had nothing to do with hockey. I was very confused how someone had spent $3000 on Stanley cups

Kings quest didn't have character progression or choices to be made (at least in the ones I played). That's pretty core to qualify as an rpg

I know it's pedantic, but that's a rogueLIKE. A roguelite has permanent upgrades

I was impressed by how good Larian made BG3 in spite of using tabletop mechanics, but the Divinity games still had much better game play. I hope they start a new IP and add more of the roleplay options that made BG3 great, but with their own mechanics (hopefully without a charisma stat)

These kind of initiatives are actually pretty great. Like most english language media, video games are pretty American dominated. Funding to games with unique perspectives could lead to some really interesting projects. I played a really interesting game called Black Book a while back. It was a fascinating look into Finno-Ugric culture in pre-revolution Russia (and a pretty good game, too). I'd love to see more titles like that

Can't say I expected to see rimworld up here

I thought it was bad where I live, but when I was in OKC it was so much worse. I've never been anywhere so hostile to pedestrians. Sidewalks were jagged and broken and just ended randomly wherever they thought they could squeeze more parking in. Despite being a small city there were highways EVERYWHERE. You could never escape the roar of traffic. My buddy who lives there is in a gated community and even if there was anything around (there wasn't) you couldn't walk anywhere anyway because the gate is pressure sensitive to the weight of a car so you can't actually leave unless you're driving. I can only hope the next generation of planners can mitigate some of the last generation's damage in our lifetime

Damn! I was playing so much Starcraft I didn't realize how much was going on that year. So many classics for every genre

Sounds familiar. When the Americans wanted to go into Iraq there was "unconfirmed" stories of Iraqis murdering babies in hospitals. The demonization of people is getting out of control quickly here. Posting stories like this without solid evidence is not only unhelpful, it's very irresponsible

I shared a name with a character on 90210. It was pretty annoying for a decade but it's been awhile since anyone has made that comment
