The mindflayer that infects the pc in the intro certainly looks like the Emperor. No other in the game with that same sized collar as the Emperor.

Yes

A mindflayer in the 15th century.

How could I not name my Dark Urge bard Dirge?

Can’t resist posting the other 2

Hard disagree. The best games were the Ezio trilogy and Black Flag. And a lot of people hated Black Flag because it wasn't a game about an Assassin, but it had all the best mechanics from the previous games plus the best ship gameplay and it had an excellent voice cast.

Unity was great, after they fixed it. But the series nosedived after that.

Days Gone is much better than Mad Max, which was still a good game. It’s a shame Days Gone launched with so many problems because the final product is so so good. Yeah the story is a just ok and the acting can be hammy and a little uneven. But the gameplay is great and I actually enjoyed the story.

The auto industry lobbied to kill public transportation back in the day to sell more cars. For a recent example see Ellen Musk and the Hyper Loop.

Yeah I definitely agree about dropping you in to a lived in world with it’s own culture, slang, and colloquialisms. I ended up loving it and the next two in the series. It was kind of amazing seeing so many cyberpunk themes originating in one text. At the same time seeing how you could say that Neuromancer was set in the same world as Blade Runner, almost like a fan fic, just in a different part of the world.

Have you tried Neuromancer by William Gibson?

Nothing like a nice cup of hot milk to start the day, jk. It looks good, I never can do latte art correctly.

I’m partial to a cappuccino every once in a while but my diet keeps me to straight espresso most days.

I thought I would keep using old.reddit after they killed RiF but I’ve abandoned the platform all together. Finally got my lemmy account and I’m not going back. Google still shows me Reddit when I search for just about anything but I’m actively avoiding them.
