I’m back in the Warframe mines, after my Whispers in the Walls break. Dante has been a lot of fun, most interesting frame I’ve had in a while, and I’m also catching up on Prime releases while building up Hex trust.
Still slowly going through Momodora: Moonlit Farewell, the moment-to-moment gameplay isn’t hitting very strong, but I do appreciate the mobility upgrades, the wall jump was a godsend.
I’ve been slowly going through Momodora Moonlit Farewell and hope to play other brazilian indie games this month. This one is a series of delightful platformers/metroidvanias.
Also went back to Leaf Blower Revolution, as it got some nice updates, including better offline progression.
Can’t believe this is the first time I hear the expression “Wernher von Braun club”, fantastic.
Shameful, but this is the state of modern game developers. Scrap every possible avenue of paying your workers a living wage while surrendering to all latest failure tech fads.
That’s weird, I even scrolled down the sub to be sure. I guess you can remove the post if you feel its a repeat.
None of those games need sequels, and neither did Hades. I get why they did, because it was the first time they weren’t veering on bankruptcy and could use a bigger safety net, but doubling down on this lack of creativity is hardly what I expect from Supergiant.
I can’t recall if it was on the second or third year of high school, but it was a single Biology class. The teacher was comfortable with it, but she was very clearly biased towards abstinence and insisted the only way to be 100% sure was to just not have sex.
Despite that, she still talked about basics of sex and genitalia, a few common STDs, and basic preventive measures, both for pregnancy and STDs - even if they weren’t particularly effective. Both coitus interruptus and sodomy (we had a loooot of fun repeating that word for a week or so) were mentioned as ways to avoid pregnancy, but condoms and IUDs were the real recommendations.
As a class, we weren’t too rowdy, though there was a kid or two that made a few too many jokes - and the teacher cut them off fairly quickly. I also recall she handled pamphlets with each of the methods talked during class and their approximate efficacy.
This was in 2005-ish and I’m Brazilian.
Also of note this was the second time, the first attempt happened in middle school (and in a different school altogether) and we had to do a presentation on STDs and the like. The teacher decided to cancel at the last minute because we were clearly too embarrassed to actually talk about the subject in front of our classmates.

I wasn’t expecting quality from modern Bungie but this is definitely an unexpected low
someone in a group I know asked the same a few weeks ago and the general reply was “No”
iOS ain’t friendly to any kind of 3rd party app
The whole point of these apps is that they are local, independent from algorithms and YT’s surveillance. If you want to synchronize something, you’ll have to do it manually.
I don’t, I believe one of the piracy instances might be able to help you with the issue better than I
Here’s your occasional reminder to use FreeTube on your PC or Newpipe on your phone
I was obviously talking about COVID.
Not all games use that type of system. Masks, for example, along with a few other PbtAs give players Exp/Potential when they fail a roll. That’s an incentive for trying riskier actions, as well as not power-gaming and only use the attributes/labels you excel at since failure has its own reward - besides being fun.
When you’re trying to think about how to distribute/grant exp, its not just about how characters are growing, but also why. Sure, you can have that TES-like system where you need to train Lockpicking, but how many opportunities will a GM have to present enough situations where a player can lockpick for Exp? Imagine every time someone played Skyrim and forged a hundred daggers because they needed to level up blacksmithing and how that would translate to a ttrpg (or not, since its a particularly bad system by itself)
I believe RPGs often benefit from narrative exp, and to use your Burglar example, they could have exp triggers that involve deception, forgery, stealing, etc. So whenever they lie to someone for self-profit, use their skills for ill gain, steal without clear necessity and such, they’d gain Burglar exp, and eventually perfect those moves or learn new ones.
Not trying to be too dismissive, but anyone in 2019 who guessed what the world would be like in the future was terribly mistaken, at this point I’m just hoping things don’t get too hot.
Thank you! Fuck you! A villain has arrived!
Oh, rad, I’ve just done my first post-Fleet reset yesterday and began climbing back to 100 once more to see how smoother things are!
Still in the Warframe mines, though now that I’ve reached the standings I wished with the new syndicates and have the frames I had been missing on, I’m feeling its grip letting go of me slowly. Though there is going to be a major update later this year, so who knows.
With the latest Momodora finished (good game, I still liked Reverie better), I’ve started Virgo Versus The Zodiac. Cute looking turn-based RPG starring a protagonist filled with bloodlust and with a merciless combat system. If you miss the timed hits, you will die, even to the most common enemies. I’ve cleared up the first Zodiac realm/introduction to the game and am now trying around an optional grinding area before heading into Taurus.
