28.02.2026 17:56 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0His own party won't enforce the checks and balances with their constitutional power, but the other party definitely will. I think it's as simple as that.
28.02.2026 17:55 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0It's quite likely that the midterms will put Congress in the hands of Democrats. Even Ted Cruz said (in private) "Mr. President, they'll be impeaching you every week. Your presidency will be over."

28.02.2026 17:05 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Look, be serious. We can't violently seize an elected official. Once you start doing that, it becomes normal, and we know which side has more guns. "They did it on January 6th!" is not a counter argument. That would just make violence the norm on both sides. Country over. World chaos.

New "veteran" difficulty coming to Quartet's New Game Plus mode.
It gets preeeeetty spicy when you get to those last few dungeons.
If you're level 50 and tweaked out of your mind on tomes, we're cooking up something even MORE special (unrelenting) for you.
These live service failures remind me of 2008-13, when everyone was making an MMO that failed. There's only so much market, and the big boys are already eating most of the pie.

The players are right there. If you know how to interpret their feedback, you can preempt every problem.
27.02.2026 11:21 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Whenever I've seen leadership ignore (or never solicit) player feedback in things I've worked on, it has led to failure and meandering vision.
27.02.2026 11:18 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0One solution may have been to open the game up to the outside world [...] and garnering feedback from a wider audience β a process that had helped other multiplayer games, such as Arc Raiders and Battlefield 6, find success. But whenever that notion came up at Wildlight, leadership nixed it.

It blows my mind we have fiction writers that do not read.
It's like trying to be a musician and you don't listen to music.
We've submitted Quartet to lotcheck for approval on the Nintendo Switch. Playstation will be submitted shortly. Plan is to launch both at the same time.
Wish us luck!
Believe it or not, this is doctrinaire.
"Then Jesus said to his host, βWhen you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; [...] But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind."
Borderline illiterate stories get praised too, as long as the art is good.

But it did run. PAR: Yeah! I built some new tech to run scripts when LEAVING a trigger, and it was a great fit. Anyway, you should definitely talk to the eagle here. (player talks to the eagle and instantly fails the minigame, setting a map variable) PAR: hahaha, gottem.
