level drain is like a very specific porn niche and it's always so unrealistic like "oh the hero loses a level and the succubus gains one" thats not how that works. thats not how that works. if the hero is like level 95 and the succubus is level 1 stealing one level would get her to like 30 at least

it wouldn't solve US politics by any means but I feel like "moving elections to the start of the year instead of the end of the year" would at least prevent This Specific Problem

at some level, so long as running a website like this requires a great deal of capital, the relationship between ownership and user base is always going to be antagonistic

you gotta just find somewhere that sucks the least

you already know what's up

(steam sale rec thread (extremely condensed version cuz they did it way early and only a week long this year) is what's up)

as always, i focus on older, obscure, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help.

so, onwards!

I think at some point during early access a member of the writing team was like "wait... guys... with the way the story is developing, people might think we had an Idea. or even that we're deliberately contrasting the story of Hades 1" and everybody got so scared they had to torpedo it immediately

Current level of normality in the discourse:

( ) NORMAL: the football player is footballing wrong
( ) ALERT: some company changed their logo
( ) SEVERE: game has the wrong difficulty
(X) HAZARDOUS: an easily panicked horse has been left in charge of social moderation
( ) WEBCOMIC COMMENTS SECTION
