Hello! I have been running TTRPG games for hexbear folks for a few years now and we are moving into our next system, Mothership. I have previously run (Cyberpunk Red, Shadowrun 5e, Lancer, The Burning Wheel, Pathfinder 2e, Shadowdark, Ars Magica, Masks, Delta Green, Mothership 1shots) for folks from here.

I have previous experience with D&D 5e, Blades in the Dark, Monster of the Week, ICONS, and Vampire the Masquerade 5e. I tend to run according to the rules more than homebrew, am more merciful than antagonistic, rely on prep more than improv, faction over disparate NPCs, lower amounts of explicit violence/gore, complex encounters, slow burn terror over horror.

The campaign themes are expected to touch on Body Horror, Capitalistic Horror, and Monster Horror.

We play weekly for about 3 hours starting at around 20:00 CET/14:00 EST on Thursday.

There are two to three returning players and I'm looking for another player or two. We usually run if there are 3 players.

We use Discord for voice & session scheduling and Roll20 for the virtual table top, it is a dedicated hexbear ttrpg discord server and I'm happy to help folks with roll20.

Mothership is a retro-future lightweight system that leans heavily on survival horror. The image moodboard in the post is one I made to reflect the campaign which I expect to run for about 10-15 sessions but am always happy to extend if the players want to.

The media touchstones I had in mind are: Altered Carbon, The Expanse, Alien, Matrix Reloaded. The players are the crew of a recently decommissioned cargo vessel docking at an outlaw space station on the edge of known space. The station known as Prospero's Dream is home to a handful of factions and has strict Oxygen rationing. The crew will need to find a way to scrape together credits to repair/upgrade their ship so they can get back to Inner Space or save the space station.

I will provide all the rules needed and we will have a session 0.5 where we go over some of the safety tools I like to use (X-Card & Lines and Veils), make the crew and whatever remaining time we will jump into the game on the ship as it approaches Prospero's Dream.

There is a hard line with Romance/Sexual content, and Young Children. There are veils for Extreme Violence, Torture, Adolescent Children and Player vs Player.

Feel free to respond here or DM me, I will be reposting this at the start of April when we are getting ready to start.

Thanks for reading!

Remember how in the 2000s and 2010s the main impression Westerners had about the IDF was that they were crazy ultra-lethal elite operators who had ultra-advanced sci-fi weaponry

Even in the Halo games like half of the human guns and vehicles are canonically built by an Israeli company

Good read about Hypervisor
Hypervisor Guide

A lot of digital ink has been spilled about these hypervisor bypasses, they do involve disabling some security features last I knew, but if you've been out of the loop maybe this is worth seeing or knowing about. Also there's a new denuvo cracker releasing more proper cracks. Don't have a link to them on hand though.

Last week, Capcom added Alex to Street Fighter 6’s playable fighter roster. However, Alex’s arrival was overshadowed by his arcade mode ending (spoilers ahead!) in which he marries his adoptive younger sister/second cousin Patricia. Not only that, they are expecting a baby! These revelations prompted a flood of critical comments from grossed-out fans.

Today, Street Fighter 6 director Takayuki Nakayama addressed the backlash, apologizing for what he called the "confusion."

"While we have not changed the characters’ backstories, after internal review by the development team, we plan to revise certain text passages that may have been misleading in the near future," he said. However, this has only prompted more criticism from fans, as Capcom shows no signs of removing Alex and Patricia’s controversial marriage.

Alex and Patricia’s marriage revelation in Street Fighter 6’s arcade ending sees a pregnant Patricia greeting Alex at the door with, “Welcome home, hon,” and commenting that their daughter will “grow up to be big and strong just like her daddy.” However, this came as a shock to fans, who are used to the pair having a purely platonic, sibling-like relationship. This is because Tom, Patricia’s dad, has been a father figure to orphan Alex since Alex’s debut in Street Fighter 3 New Generation (1997).

But that’s not all. In Street Fighter 6 World Tour mode, there’s a dialogue which states that Tom is actually a cousin of Alex’s mother, making Alex and Patricia second cousins. Also, Alex has known Patricia since she was a baby, further adding to the “ick” factor for some fans.

In his post, Nakamura also linked to a new short story, ‘A Toast between Fathers.’ Written by Street Fighter 6’s scenario team, it takes place in a bar just after Alex and Patricia’s wedding. The story explains that Alex and Patricia drifted apart for some time, but then Alex was the one who turned up and saved Patricia when she got involved with the wrong crowd. In this way, the short story tries to explain how Alex and Patricia’s once sibling-like relationship took a romantic turn.

The numbers are wild. In developer benchmarks, Dirt 3 went from 110.6 FPS to 860.7 FPS, which is an impressive 678% improvement. Resident Evil 2 jumped from 26 FPS to 77 FPS. Call of Juarez went from 99.8 FPS to 224.1 FPS. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands saw gains from 130 FPS to 360 FPS.

Might have to make another effort to switch to Linux. Kind of a side question about Linux, is there a good android emulator? On windows I've been using Google play games which has official support for my game of choice but if an emulator will work I don't know what else I use that's locked to windows.

Can somebody please set me right on which of the various "Disco Elysium successors" is being made by the people who thanked Marx and Engels on stage for their political education, and is not a craven cash-grab?

Thank you, and apologies for being incapable of figuring this out for myself.

I'm not talking emotional games about working out parental trauma, I need shit to play past my bedtime while drinking soda and eating pizza. I last did this with diablo 3, and I wish to revisit the headspace

Folks, I love me some video games, but as I get older I get pickier and pickier about the experience. Nowadays I need it both be my genre and be good quality. So when a game like Pokopia comes out that's a mine craft style city builder just like Dragon Quest Builders 2, and it gets really good reviews despite being a Pokemon game, well I just can't stop thinking about it.

My main issue is that I don't have a Switch 2, and holy shit I am not made of money so I'm probably never going to get one when the steam machine will offer a similar device with access to a full steam library. Pretty mad that my dusty old Switch can't play this thing even though it can handle DQB2 somewhat decently... ok fine it overheats and slows down as your builds get more advanced after the story ending but still. Pokopia even has a limited game share option with the original switch! There's no way Pokopia wouldn't be able to play on this thing considering how detailed DQB2 was and how much room they gave you to build. I put hundreds of hours into that absolute delight of a game that makes the big bold creative choice of never letting you skip the 50 hour story, so I would know.

So I'm just wondering what the best way to emulate Switch 2 games would be: Either a PC program or jail breaking one of my old Switches into playing Switch 2 games, if that's even possible. I used to pirate games like crazy, but I'm getting older and am a bit rusty nowadays. How would one go about it?
