6/10 is being pretty generous given the Avowed-tier town guard AI behavior lmao

One way to make sure it's not installed is to find it in the browser play store, if it says "install" it's not installed.

His series of videos on the ATAK software is great.

This is one of the cringiest things I've ever seen. Over squeezing the bread is peasantry.

This video is both exactly what I expected out of Avowed and exactly why I didn't want it even if it hadn't been targeted toward the Concord/Veilguard "audience" (all 700 of them).

Reposting my comment from c/Gaming about the video:

I feel like Obsidian always took the wrong lessons from TES/Bethesda Fallout, namely that people want a linear story with some fairly shallow sandbox RPG stuff, rather than what they should be focusing on which is a systems based game with a story on top of it, a medieval fantasy immersive sim essentially.

Outer Worlds was like this as well, where it's clear they seem to ignore that TES/Beth Fallout are very much games that have many systems which combine to be more than the sum of their parts. Individually they may not be make or break for players, but removing them leaves the player without the experience of the agency they gain by having them all.

It's telling that their best game is the one where they didn't design the mechanics of the game and were able to execute their story on top of the framework that Bethesda built.

All that and they'll blame Americans for every bit of it as well.

The "somewhere else" is going to be the US, though. Israel announced (without any pushback) their intention to send the entire population of Gaza to live in the US on the taxpayer's dole last year. And they won't be living in ghettos, but 4 star hotels with $10k/mo paychecks like every other "refugee" from the third world.

I remember their "evidence" was just some posts they got after the seizure of the servers.

Progression assumes expanding your character into having followers, servants, slaves, minions etc. Not too many games have formal rules for taking territory and mass warfare and generalship. You can tax your followers or if you're a cleric you can power up by gaining worshippers for your god.

Ah that's awesome, I'm actually doing something similar for my (PC) co-op RPG in terms of gaining power over time, rather than just straight "superhero" damage/magic power.

Bad sign that they have to change it in the first place lol.

Edit: Didn't realize this was in reference to an old game rather than one in development.

Do you have any favorite rules/systems from it you haven't seen from other games (not having any specific answer isn't a knock against the system, which I plan to get regardless, just curious)?

I love the oldschool look and feel of ACKS from what I've seen of it.

Nawww, Brown Hillary the CFR member would never lie about her "totally legitimate change of heart 2 months before the election" to gain power and enact the policies she always agreed with for decades prior, what are you, some kind of conspiracy theorist!?

Just a guess but I bet the regulations they're talking about are probably related to mining necessary elements for semiconductor production. Antimony, cobalt, coltan (columbite-tantalite), and more are all used and require mining operations that can (if not done properly without proper mitigation and safety) produce toxic byproducts and runoff into the environment.

I don't really trust "American" (increasingly not actually) corporations to do it, but it's immaterial since they are mostly banned from mining at all.

The fabrication plants would require some billions but the real reason it never happens is that it would cost some politicians and corporate execs profits in the near term as supply chains were figured out to shift it back to American production.

So it depends on whether it's Amazon making it or publishing it, there's actually a massive difference. If they're just publishing it, sure. If they're actually involved in making it directly, no chance.

That said I doubt they will stay true to the source material very well either way, because simply put the entirety of Hollywood is too full of weird gross communists to do so.

Ultimately it will come down to who they have as the showrunner and director on it, and who the writers are. If they aren't all 40k fans it's going to be a disaster.

So just on the balance, the odds are it's going to be a disaster where they push "the message" just like literally 100% of all media made in the last several decades.

In some cases them pushing their gross degenerate message in a piece of media doesn't matter as much, but 40k is pretty much the antithesis of all of those so if they do, it will ruin it.

The 40k Amazon show is going to be anti-40k, there's no question of it. They wouldn't allow it to be made otherwise.

Or why hasn't Canada, which has imported millions of them over the past few years, become a tech powerhouse overnight?

The truth is Indians are shitty programmers. There are numerous stats proving this.

Plus the rest of his message is "I made my money by fucking you over via importation of welfare leeching third world scabs, so it's a good thing and you should like it"

You are ignoring the impact of welfare. They have the most kids because of welfare. Who pays for welfare? Taxpayers.

Turns out when you force the majority group of people who provide a net benefit and output to pay for leeches, they have fewer resources to have children.

Totally shocking result.

Vivek Ramasawmpy made his money via fraud by way of nepotism (claiming breakthrough drug by using his mother to get it approved).

He defrauded American investors of $2bn.

He is representative of the type of people he wants to import by the millions, a grifting thief.
