What I don’t understand is how Albert got the information from Bernard.
Written as it is, we can deduce the C3.
But how did Albert understand from Bernards sentence that it’s in the 3rd column?

You don’t need full communism, just make sure companies are owned by the workers, suddenly they will have more money, free time, they will cut down the working hours, and that will help passion projects like these and many more.
There’s no need for this aggresive exaggeration.

- Comment on Anon pitches a new game 3 weeks ago:
Sims and sports games are just rehashes.
Or re-releases.
And every AAA studio will slowly stop investing into new IPs.

I don’t know what you mean.
Every sports game is barely an asset flip, sometimes even with wrong years.

And the market proves it’s true.
How in the hell is EA still not dead?
Many studios produce barely acceptable shit, yet people buy it in droves.

Man, I miss those times.
My favourite kill vid I go back to is www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnnY9e_7XZw
I should just host some CS1.6 servers and hope some people start playing.

Send me links of what you’re watching, I wanna watch too :D
I remember those frag compilations vids, those were so badass.
You can’t replicate that era, you have to keep the memories alive inside you, and perhaps try to improve some other communities.
I plan on helping/sponsoring some minor leagues just for the fun, find a game and try to make some magic happen.

Yeah, me too… man, I would play 16+ hours on some weekends… I was kinda good, too. Too young, but godly reflexes. I still think about those days sometimes…
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, but it still popped into my mind sooner than other games, dunno why,
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 5 weeks ago:
I tried playing it, but the combat… the combat, man, I can play many games, finished Elden Ring, played ton of CS1.6, Dota 2, Terraria Infernum… but Sekiro I could not finish.
I’ve heard it’s a rhytmic game, but I suck at those, too.

Games I haven’t seen mentioned yet:
- Fez - cute little 2D/3D platformer. It’s amazing and very wholesome
- Stalker: Shadow of Chenrobyl - dunno what exactly is it, perhaps the settings and the grit, but it has a special place in my heart. It’s about average FPS, but not too long and for me enjoyable
- F.E.A.R. - very good FPS, with amazingly scripted enemies, decent horror elements (not compulsory - you might miss some of them if you’re not looking).
- Prince of Persia: Warrior Within - for me the best 3rd person action adventure ever. Best combat hands down (or head, or torso, you choose), streamlined blade dance at your fingertips. You play with your enemies, and you get many tools. There are some locked camera issues.
- Touhou: Lost branch of time - If you liked Slay the Spire, but wished for colorful mana, this is the game for you. It has anime artstyle, I usually focus on the cards, though it might turn some people off
- Dota 2 - Dunno if it was mentioned and I didn’t see, but the mechanics are absolutely amazing, the things the game lets you get away with are incredible. 10/10, but other people might bring your experience down. Specially friends. Can play against custom (workshop) bots. Still takes too long to git gud. I studied the game for 10 years and still sucked.
- Divinity 2: Original Sin - also haven’t seen a mention, everybody talks about BG3, I haven’t yet played it, but D2:OS was also a masterpiece. Haven’t played a lot of TRPGs, this was a blast, with easily set up multiplayer. Played through it twice completely, with many abandoned runs.
- CS 1.6 - remember that? I lost my childhood to that. They don’t make counter strikes this good anymore.
- Synthetik - top-down rougelike shooter, with amazing weapons and physics and classes and enemies and mechanics and 2 person multiplayer
- Dwarf Fortress - the real objectively best game :D strategy simulation of the 3D box world, predecesor to both Minecraft and Terraria, but with A LOT more sand in your box. They are still extending it. And it’s on Steam if you want a UI.
- Terraria (Calamity mod) - Terraria is obviously a great game, but what makes it 20/10 is the mods. Calamity specifically. Tripple the content, 5x the difficulty (20x if you try Infernum), amazing multiplayer experience. Don’t install Infernum if you haven’t beaten at least Revengeance on Calamity. Trust me, it will fuck you up.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 5 weeks ago:
I tried to play that game, expecting perhaps a DMC-like gameplay.
Instead I got a 2D plane scroller?
Then 2D sort of platformer?
Then some weird 3D action that I did not understand at all?
What the fuck is that game.
If I enjoyed combat more, I could give it another go. But it was just not for me.
