Would it make it better or worse if I told you it actually kinda-sorta worked?

Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

Retro-style: DUSK, Prodeus, Serious Sam
More modern: Wolfenstein - The New Colossus, Doom 2016, BioShock 1 and 2
Spooky, “ghost train”: Doom³
Exploration oriented: Metroid Prime (and 4 is coming up!), Powerslave Exhumed
Unciv - this one’s especially good on mobile
FreeDoom
Sonic Robo Blast 2 if fangames are acceptable
Edit: Since I mentioned FreeDoom – Gzdoom acts as a sort of platform for Libre FPSes. Ashes 2063 and Wolfenstein Blade of Agony for instance.
Human beings may not be perfect but a computer program with language synthesis is hardly the answer to the world’s problems
I find myself appreciating Deus Ex more and more with the years…
… But also utterly unable to replay it because it’s too close to home now.
Running from ac to AC like its cover in a warzone.
While I had some fun playing torchlight 2 with a friend back in the day, in reality I never got on with the entire genre (or its sibling the Looter-Shooter)
It’s like
Every video game is on some level a skinner box, but arpgs and lootershooters are the most transparent and cynical about it, idk. Well no, the SECOND most transparent and cynical about it, MMOs still take the cake.
I guess this means I’ll finally get to actually play it
My playthrough on release got aborted midway through act 3 because I was using mods before official support and the constant updating and mod breaking eventually destroyed my savefile.
Seems we had a similar idea –

Currently seeding all these.
Yes
You can expect them to drop at maybe one more good product, as going public is what companies do when they want to raise a lot of funds for some project
But after THAT, when it turns out that the new product is just… Making money instead of making ALL the money, the investors will take over and from then on it’s fucked.
But yeah RPi has alternatives now. No need to tie yourself to them when they DO sink.
In my country it is decriminalised unless you’re doing it at a very large scale and charging money, so I’m home free.
My ISP does block most torrent trackers – But changing DNS providers is enough to get around that.
Depends what country you’re in
Libre Graphics Manipulation App
LiGMA.
Brushes with bellpeppers attached to them
Plus they could announce the rebrand by replacing the weird dog chewing on a brush with the same weird dog lifting weights
Hitting the GIM.
Ah yes
Brainwashing
Likely the PS2. Simply for the breadth of stuff it can play.
We call these ‘landlords’
Or in most fantasy settings, just ‘lords’
Dark Souls has more in common with Castlevania than with anything “RPG”.
As for Diablo type games, I personally call them “looter RPGs” as a retroactive term. Because the “looter shooter” genre that popped up about a decade after diablo is literally just Diablo but FPS.
Genre names are wack anyway. The “[other game]-like” moniker will always be more descriptive and clear, plus being a reminder that every new thing in video games is a refreshed take on some pre existing thing.
Just say you hate neurodivergent kids already…
