Laughless Saint absolutely has its own identity. You can obviously see and feel the Elder Scrolls influence, but it’s different enough to be its own thing. It has somewhat gothic vibes to it, there are no elves but there are “beast-people” like lizards bears and cats, and there are non-playable beast races like frog-people turtle-people and crab-people. The lore is also quite different from Elder Scrolls, but does feel pretty “Shivering Isles”-ish which imo helps in its favor. The combat is more like Skyrim however, so you’re not relying on invisible “dice rolls” for your hits to land, but there’s no dual-wielding and you have to actively switch to your magic like in Morrowind. There are also minimal loading screens, as the entire world is loaded in from the start and there are no “interior cells” so it’s all seamless exploration; you can go from where you first get control of your character and explore pretty much every inch of the island without coming across another loading screen. There’s no fast travel or quest markers on by default, but there are settings to toggle those on if you’d like them.
The story basically goes: you share a dream that calls you to the island along with every other sentient being on the island. Most people are a little strange at best, and some are downright crazy. There’s a “Saint” that calls people in that dream to come to the island and set them free, but no one knows the true nature of what it is.
Tainted Grail is fun and very dark. It’s built less around making yourself as powerful as possible and more experiencing the story of a crumbling Camelot, but you can still make yourself ridiculously OP. Like I said before, they keep adding free DLC that add new unique weapons and armor, new fighting styles and spells, and I think there have been a few quests added as well. I haven’t played the main DLC “Sanctuary of Sarras,” but I’d really like to because I really like “Old Ones”-themed stuff.

The first picture made me think this was the Tainted Grail DLC (Sanctuary of Sarras) which I really want to play. I really need to get back into that game tbh, the devs keep adding free DLC like new weapons and combat styles, new armors, and even new quests sometimes. Sanctuary of Sarras is an aquatic/Old Ones-themed story where you fight crazy undersea mutations and monsters.
I’ve also been playing The Lantern of the Laughless Saint and enjoying that quite a bit. It’s advertised as a “Morrowind-/Elder Scrolls-like” game where just about every object is interactable, every NPC can be killed regardless, there’s spellcrafting, broken skill mechanics, all of it.

Hope you enjoy it! I already own it, but I just wanted to come and see who got it lol.
Personally, I think it’s a masterpiece on par with the original, which is one of the cornerstone games from my childhood.

Maybe not quite “true” mining, but there’s definitely a prospecting aspect of finding a good vein. There is a mod for coring/quarrying too. There’s pretty much a mod to make any aspect of the game more/less hardcore.

Vintage Story is a lot like that too. The only thing is there’s no mod browser in the game, you have to open a separate window for it.

I know it’s semantics and doesn’t really matter, but it just bugs the hell out of me when people use hyperbole like that.

I just have to be “that guy” but Minecraft didn’t release a playable build until 2009, so that’s only 17 years. Not “decades.”
- Comment on Former NFL coach Mike Tomlin is sharing a massive Minecraft city he spent twelve years building 1 week ago:
I think it spawned from that. Or one of those types of mods.
Basically they realized that what they wanted to do would basically make it a whole new game anyway, so they just went and made their own.

Whatever you do don’t go looking for a similar game called Vintage Story /s
VS is like Minecraft but way more realistic. There’s actual metal forging, panning, true mining, farming crops takes a lot longer, weather is a lot harsher. It’s just a more survival-heavy experience.

But then, nowhere is actually hiring because it would eat into the company’s profits.
Before I got my current job, I applied to Taco Bell (which I’m overqualified for), and they gave me the runaround or straight-up ignored me when I would call and ask about my application. One time when I talked to the manager, she literally told me that they weren’t hiring even though everything said they were (posters in the windows, ads on their site, etc). Like if fucking Taco Bell won’t hire someone, then I feel like the job market is in a pretty bad state.

I found the disguises an interesting yet limiting gameplay mechanic. Like when you’re wearing a dress/socialite clothes, you can’t just be running around on rooftops and climbing shit. But then iirc there was also a “slave” outfit for going undercover; because the game took place in the south, you see.

I’ve been working for Costco for the past couple months and honestly I’m incredibly grateful to be working for them.
Even though not every location is affiliated with a union, the entire company is run as if it were a union anyway. Sundays are automatic time and a half, and after 1,000 or so hours worked you get a raise (Sundays also count towards 1.5× hours worked as well). Plus my coworkers are all extremely nice and polite; like moreso than literally anywhere I’ve worked before. Plus we get benefits (health, vision, hearing, etc.) even as a part-time employee.

I’ve been balls fucking deep in Spider-Man 2 lately. I got it a couple weeks ago and haven’t stopped since. I’m already almost 100% done with my NG+ run. I got a bunch of costume mods and some gameplay tweak mods, and I’m having a blast swinging around the expanded NYC (including Queens and Brooklyn) in all these different costumes that all honestly look fantastic.
It’s just more of the same/similar Spider-Man games we’ve all been playing for the better part of 20 years, but it’s just so goddamn fun.
