There's a new isometric RPG called Disco Elysium that came out recently and I think it's fitting for the tastes of some people here. It's a very text-heavy game with basically no combat, but it is said to be very well written with deep-as-an-ocean depth in everything else. RPG enthusiasts are liking it, and the critics too.

To be fair to China, there is actually a long history of westerners meddling with chinese sovereignty. I'm not saying that China is right in this instance or that the protests are an independence movement, I just get why China would be sensitive to the perception of foreign influence given the history of Hong Kong.

Congratulations faru!!!


If you go back into history there are just as many cases of China (or more precise it's predecessors) meddling in their neighbouring countries' sovereignty. That is just how it goes.

Fair lol. Also, I don't understand why China keeps framing this as a sovereignty issue? Clearly the protestors are demanding reform and not independence??

because they know their history with human rights is awful, so they try to twist the narrative into framing western powers instigating revolution
and they don't really care how it's portrayed externally, they only care about how the news is portrayed internally.

I spammed 10 Bane games during callibration (got 2,6k mmr, archon II), now I'm spamming AA until 10 games with him (it?), then I'll do the same with Dazzle and SD. Pos5 is fun to play.

This game really has its hooks in me, I am adoring the design of it a lot, though I struggle to really recommend it universally because of the text heavy design and that it's kind of difficult to describe what make the system it so good, but if the first part isn't a turnoff I'd give the game a good look.

Having lots of skill checks that aren't pass = good is amazing. It's refreshing that you can spectacularly succeed at doing something completely idiotic. Keeps you from just success rolling your way through the story.

Having skill checks that derive off skill checks is also amazing. A fairly common example is reaction speed making you pick up on something someone said mid-stream, then getting opportunities via other skills to act on it.

The skill compulsion and ways that skills will push you down paths works really well in practice and does have a meaningful impact on how you have to approach things.

Also in general, there's a really nice system there where every skill has downsides for being too high (or too low), but at the same time you need some strong skills to actually successfully get anything done. It makes a nice tension into how/where you put skills.

Besides just the meme factor of talking to your necktie, Inland Empire and Shivers having a sort of pseudo occultist thing going is really cool way to add lore and expand out the possible ways of doing things. Basically the former has you getting a sort of personification of items to get insight and the latter gives you visions or feelings about the environment.

Very importantly, the game really really does a good job of making being a complete failure fun and compelling. By design you'll probably pass some checks and do some things successfully, but the paths you go down when you don't aren't just missed content, they're interesting different stories to hear. I think I've failed about every 'important' skill check I can so far and it's been a blast.

And yeah it's very dirtbag left in politics, but even if that's a turnoff I think there's plenty of stuff there. It's not just a sermon to you about unions and communism.

You kinda still use game features, controller based, you have to use a console, etc. So it makes sense to call it a game, but i do agree what Artisreal described should be called something else.

And i feel like singleplayer games are starting to go that route more and more, examples are Detroit become human, RDR2 with its slow pace and now Death Stranding seems to take it to the next movie-like level.

Call it a visual novel then.
It's not quite what the original visual novel means but I'm a huge fan of the storytelling experience.
