Communist Party of Ferngill cadres being confused when I enthusiastically accept the nationalization of Granddad’s farm

Me and my buddy Krobus becoming Co-Chairmen for the Pelican Town Workers’ and Farmers’ Commune

That’s also something annoying since it (along with the Prairie King) implies the existence of guns when I’m risking my neck against eldritch horrors in Skull Cavern and Ridge Forest with a dinky little sword.

I used to rationalize this as the two countries preferring not to shit where they eat and duking it out over small tracks of land elsewhere of strategic and economic importance (like an unmentioned archipelago). Then SVE ruined it by adding a Gotoran character (Olivia) who’s worried about her relatives back home.

Would be nice, if there were a class traitor kulak path, to have an option where you amass large amounts of political-economic power and capital-strike the government into peace but I’m probably putting more thought into something the creator intended to be a cheap Iraq/Afghanistan vet analogue with Kent.

Counterpoint: Those little bastards made me go to great lengths to get five different varieties of manure for their stupid bundles so fuck em

P4R adding the ability to slap and/or romance Yosuke

All I’ll say is that RE6 is definitely a game for one who’s already neck deep in the series as opposed to a relative newcomer who would get a better first impression with RE5 if they’re looking for raw action. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Part of RE’s charm is that it actually feels like a universe where straight survival horror a la RE1/RE7 and the pure campy John Woo-aping goodness of the CGI movies can coexist. Only that RE6 is weighed down by other things which might get tiring.

and finally landed back in the crowd-pleasing sweet spot for RE8 (which I absolutely adore and beat like half a dozen times).

Funny thing is that I actually prefer RE8 to 4 (though I played it first). I would consider close to perfect if it were a good bit longer and didn’t kill off the entire villager cast in the first 30 minutes.

I also enjoyed RE3R, although it’s not quite as good as RE2R and a bit on the short side.

It’s a fantastic game on its own merits. Maybe it can get a rerelease pumped full of content someday and people can appreciate it…

Wolf 2 isn’t as good as 1/TNO and TOB but is still fun and worth a playthrough.

Let’s see. Of the ones which haven’t been mentioned yet…

Since Resident Evil hype is up again because the original trilogy just dropped on GOG, I’d recommend the line-up on sale right now on Steam except the one that came after RE5 and before RE7. For games one should start with (in order from “traditional” survival horror to the more action-y titles), RE1 is 5, RE2 is 10, RE7 is 7, and OG RE4 is 5. RE4R is right now discounted to 30.

Doom 2016 is 5 while Eternal is 10. You’ve probably heard about them.

The Wolfenstein reboot games are around 5 a piece and, aside from Youngblood, are all great.

Command and Conquer Remastered Collection is 6 and is amazing if you don’t mind some early 90s RTS jank. You can also get the entire series aside from the RC for just 10.

Persona 4 Golden is 11 while SMT3 Nocturne is 15. Both are good games to start with for Megaten games.

Stardew Valley is 8 and I’ve been revisiting it lately (owned it since it first dropped).

System Shock 1 EE is 2.50 while 2 is 5. The remake for 1 is 17.

Another indie slam However…

I’ve seen people say “It’s in EA but it’s good enough to be considered a full game” but idk about that. It’s obvious once you reach the end of EP1 that it’s only just the beginning.

That said, it’s polished af and an absolute blast to play as it is now, and the devs will release things in chunks until its eventual release in 2025/26 so you won’t regret it either way. I think there will be a content update this week or next actually.

3. You are a misanthrope whose lack of faith in humanity makes you think hierarchies must be maintained lest the plebs ruin everything. Not that this is mutually exclusive at all, ofc.

There is some tragedy in how the crux of anticommunism (in particular for working class anticommunists) is the mindset that it will always be hammers-and-nails; hence the assumption that communists are either cynical, envious tyrants-in-waiting who don’t mean a word they say or the gullible, feeble-minded fools who follow them.

Bread, cream cheese and sliced tomato makes for a surprisingly versatile base though it’s a nice sandwich snack alone. Add onions, vinegar, fish, spices, and so on.

Isn’t the spice packaged separately. Like you can’t just add a warning on the container?

Walter White destroyed

I remember that one Yugioh TBS game (Capsule Coliseum pretty sure) which I used to love as a kid even if I couldn’t understand the mechanics and just winged it. Aside from that… can’t think of anything else, except the inverted case (games that were later given anime adaptations).

A shinigami, huh?

Finnish liberals will tell themselves that Mannerheim mandating summary execution orders during the civil war was a “necessary evil” whereas Lenin is painted as the devil incarnate for less questionable acts.

All the more smooth to reflect light
