It’s not clear to me what happened with RoR today. So they released this, which is a remaster of the original with some new content, and they announced a DLC for 2, and they also announced a gacha game or something?

You think? The last game they put out was that Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands one, and I don’t think it did gangbusters.

They basically have one IP and it keeps getting staler and staler.

Travel nurses are often used as scabs or to avoid hiring a full-time unionized employee.

The Missouri state government is a crucial piece of the puzzle there.

Not to diminish your point because all fields should be unionized, but nurses and teachers are drastically underpaid and overworked, despite many of them having unions.

yeah but now he’s just a guy in a spare bedroom with 4.5k patrons and under 40k youtube subscribers (of which I am one)

it’s not that hard to blame game studios for not really thinking he’s worth it anymore

Played a few hours. Really enjoying it so far. The music is killer, but the best thing is the responsive controls. I tried to go back and play JSR a few years ago and boy was it aggravating to control.

Also you don’t have to collect paint cans anymore.

Anyway it oozes JSRF from every pore. The vibes are immaculate.

Mark of the Ninja is an incredible stealth game. Also by Klei.

Roguebook was one of the Prime Gaming free games recently so I started playing that. Very fun. It does feel very easy to get overpowered, which is one of my favorite things a roguelike can do. I’ve already been able to beat it twice out of three attempts, so it’s probably undertuned, but I’d prefer that over the alternative.

I also dipped into WH40K: Mechanicus, which was free on EGS a while ago. That game is much less fun. The UI is kind of clunky and the upgrades and gear are very underwhelming. It seems difficult to really get synergies going with any of your characters. Probably will not even finish a run.
