I thought I’d like Tails of Iron, but its biggest issue is that it tries to forgo dialogue with mouse squeaks. It’s like nails on a chalkboard. I heavily suggest you watch the first few minutes of gameplay to figure out if you can endure it.

It’s kind of wild that I’ve seen trailers and posts for Lollipop Chainsaw’s remaster, but the first time I hear about a Shadows of the Damned remaster is buried in the last paragraph of a dev interview.

Thanks!

What does “limiting” mean in this context? Is it like that they won’t be able to comment on our posts, or they can’t post here?

This one is long, so here’s just a link to it

You did fantastic work with the grass, great job!

Given that if both doors are locked it equals 0 on the battlefield, you would think that, but no. When it’s not on the battlefield, its mana value is equal to the total cost of both doors, and it has both names. I assume this is so that you can’t pull Expertise tricks with it. If you want all the known stuff about it, take a look here.

I looked up the rules, and holy shit is it confusing when you get into detail.

• You cast an Enchantment with a Room subtype and pay for either side. You ignore the other side.

• If the Room has one side unlocked, you may unlock the other by paying the cost of the other side. This doesn’t use the stack, and can’t be responded to. Triggers that occur because of this can be responded to.

• If the Room has neither side unlocked (maybe it got put into the battlefield with Open the Vaults or it got blinked), you can only open a side at sorcery speed, regardless of what was said in the bullet point above.

• The mana value of a Room is equal to the unlocked doors. This room can have a mana value of 0, 2, 6, or 8, depending on what’s unlocked.

• If you copy a Room, you copy what is and isn’t unlocked.

Functionally, it’s not bad, but the corner cases these cards have is crazy.

I get that you’re trying to say that the NDP was able to do something, but there’s no evidence they were consulted on it. Given that it lasted less than a day before the strike was stopped, it was probably something the government didn’t discuss long.

The action was taken by a cabinet member to order the Canadian Industrial Relations Board to step in. The CIRB isn’t controlled by any party. Singh came out with a statement that condemns the move, and says it signals that any federally-regulated field doesn’t have to negotiate with workers in good faith. I don’t know where you heard that any party has the ability to stop this other than the party who the current Minister of Labour belongs to, but no action was taken that needed to pass the House.

There’s a couple of odd vids that Adult Swim has put out from Alan Resnick, like May I Enter Please? and Unedited Footage of a Bear. There’s one vid that’s just as weird as them called This House Has People In It, but the notable thing is this 12-minute video has a whole ARG behind it, enough to fill a video explaining the lore for over an hour and a half.

Dead by Daylight does the opt-in beta thing. Progress doesn’t transfer from one to the other, but unlocks are handled by just unlocking everything. The bonus of this, as opposed to in-house only, is that players can see what’s coming and give at least some chance for feedback before release. The downside is that there’s only one iteration, beta, then release, and sometimes things that worked in the beta are broken in release. I’m not saying that this should replace an in-house sandbox, but as an addition it helps devs get thousands of eyes on it and lets the community voice issues before they become semi-permanent.

Sometimes people need some help with the obvious.

I’ve played maybe 15 rounds since the update, but only found one mission-related bug. We completed both sub-objectives for an ICBM, and it told us that we could extract without launching the missile. And given we had 2 reinforcements left, we sure weren’t looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Not available in Canada, that explains why I couldn’t find it.

I can’t find a result that’s not Tiktok, Instagram, or Facebook, but Brad Pitt played a depressing weatherman on the Jim Jefferies show.

I had an idiot say to a guy, at extract, “You stole my samples, I’m kicking you.” I told him you couldn’t steal samples, they’re shared. I got kicked too. Some people are just either stupid or malicious, but fortunately they seem to be less and less frequent.

Thanks!

We do have !videogames@pawb.social but not too many things get posted there. Might be a better spot for future posts.

But for more furry games:

• Nine Sols came out recently. It features a mix of cyberpunk and taoism, and plays as if Sekiro became a metroidvania. Almost everything can be parried, with a focus on generating temporary damage that you can make permanent with a special attack. It’s difficult, amazingly fun, and also has some fairly gory parts, so if you’re squeamish you probably don’t want to play it. Here’s the trailer.

• Tribal Hunter is about vore and size change. Putting that out in front, because I know that can definitely turn people away. However, it’s just used as a mechanic, making it so that you can hit harder when you’re bigger, you’re more nimble when you’re smaller, and digesting food regains health. It’s a side-scrolling beat-'em-up, and also has a pretty great soundtrack too. Here’s the trailer.

• Tunic is a game about learning about a world, and doing so by trying to understand the game’s language and manual. It plays a lot like an older Zelda game, but while you can get to some newer areas with items you collect, the real progression is the knowledge you gain as you go forward. It’s unfortunately a game you can only play for the first time once, and it’s one of those games where you want to go in without spoilers. Here’s the trailer.

• Hollow Knight is probably a game everyone knows by now, but in case you don’t, it’s metroidvania Dark Souls with bugs. The game can be finished with some effort, but completely clearing the game for achievements is something for masochists. It’s got a load of things to do and explore, and it’s even got a sequel that’s coming any day week year at some point. Here’s the trailer.
