Whoa didn't even hear about this. Some of my favorite games ever are the Pharaoh and Caesar games by Impressions Games. Gonna have to check it out!

Agreed. I am not a fantasy fan for games really at all (with very few exceptions) but this looks so rad. The combination of tech and fantasy looks like a wild ride.
When I first saw the trailer I thought it was official. My heart broke when I learned the truth. Been playing Half Life since the original came out in 1998. That was an amazing Thanksgiving as a 14yr old.
I remember being at Costco with my mom and back then they had tables set up in the entrance with tons of software and game boxes and I looked at the back of the box and thought "cool! I want it!". Asked my mom if I could get it as an early Christmas gift who never said yes to that kind of thing and she said yes. I couldn't believe it.
I remember playing it and being so confused in the intro when you're on the train/tram because I couldn't figure out how to get off. I was so used to FPS games like Quake and Doom where you just clicked "new game" and were just dropped into the action or there were basic cinematics setting up the story. The build up to the action was so unique at the time it blew me away.
Sorry for the novel. Just so many fond memories of this game and I was really stoked when I saw this stupidly well done trailer haha.
This is all so strange. I really appreciate the breakdown.
It sounds like they got the tyrannical administration they lust over in the politics related comments I've seen there so far, though! So, good for them!
I regret looking haha but it was enlightening. Almost literally every single comment was someone angry about someone they've never met. It was like they were manifesting their ideal enemy in their comments to be angry at them.
Whew. Definitely avoiding that.
Pearl was my introduction to Mia and now I am obsessed with her work. Can't wait to watch this!
I'm not new to Lemmy but only just recently started being really active. Can you explain to this OOTL user (and perhaps others like me) that don't know what went down with hexbear?
Perfectly reasonable to ban someone from completely unrelated communities like mechanical keyboard and arch Linux? Come on. It's not like they're throwing out toxic terms or criticizing on a personal level. They're questioning the way things are being modded. Those aren't even attacks.
Sent this to my wife that's a speech and language pathologist who will without a doubt not laugh but rather answer the question haha.
Edit: called it lmao 
Wow that looks fun! Shocked that a game like this is still charging $20 after being out for 10yrs though. Good for them!
My best guess is karma farming so they can sell them off. Probably create hundreds of accounts they can sell off. If some brand buys an account that looks reputable for $20-$100 to use it for astroturfing then that's a pretty good deal for both sides. Shitty deal for everyone else.
The first thing I thought was "what's the alternative?" If I don't do biometrics on my phone then why would I do it for my credit card? I'm American so I don't have to worry about this yet but it's probably an indicator of what's coming here.
