That’s the point. It exists to get your opponent to waste resources or scout out what moves they’re likely to use and experience little consequence in the process. I frankly find it too over centralizing of a move that makes other defensive maneuvers pointless to use over it.
New Pokemon starters look alright. I think their final evos will probably shine better in the design department though.

Are they speaking to people who don’t like video game RPGs, tabletop RPGs, or both?

Maybe I should add here that housing ownership is kinda illusionary. Sure you can “own” a home but you still got to meet regular payments and comply with stupid OSHA standards otherwise you get kicked out and your property repossessed. I feel like that posters logic falls flat in that regard.
Astral Hunter Zosma was very cute and I liked the puzzle-solving so far. #rpgmaker
I’m thinking about parody games and idk, the concept is harder to execute in games then in other media because like, how do you make a mockery of player interactions in a way that’s comfortable?
None of that money went into affordable housing or anything people actually want. Disgusting.

got you some chocolates. don’t worry about the title
A sketch of Dr Light and Roll from Megaman but dressed in a style more similar to the characters from Pragmata. Roll is in a big puffy red coat with two big buttons at the front, raising her arms and smiling. Dr Light is wearing a space suit style outfit and is looking at Roll with a smile. He has a big white beard and hair.
Pragmata sketch 🙏
As much as I am happy to see the re-releases of the first Rayman and its prototype, I feel like I had more fun playing the fan-made remake than the original game.
Happy birthday’
A medieval illustration of a hedgehog with grapes skewered on its spines
It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea
A lumpy, misshapen Oviraptor with warty skin feeds on the viscuous contents of an egg.
A crude, wedge-headed Tyrannosaurus with no visible nostrils and a vacant expression chews on a stiff, jerky-like strip of meat.
A bizarre Tyrannosaurus with extremely wrinkled skin and a face resembling a cross between a crocodile and a dog.
A surreal, bizarre Triceratops resembling a stretched, skewed Rhinoceros faces the viewer, it's comically wide head appearing disconnected from its frill. In the distance, other dinosaurs amble through a lush rainforest.
From the depths of my palaeoart archives come unfathomable horrors mankind was never meant to know...

life reconstruction of galahadosuchus by matt dempsey. the animal is small and gracile, with long legs and a very long tail
a warm welcome to galahadosuchus, a small crocodylomorph from late triassic england 🐊 the holotype was previously referred to terrestrisuchus, but bodenham et al. redescribe it as a separate taxon in their #openacess paper

I feel like it’s an issue with popular perception in that case. Even as they do try to streamline themselves, fighting games still have to work against the general perception of them being unapproachable for anyone looking for a casual experience.
I’m a millennial and I’ve always sucked at fighters, but coincidentally I was enamored by Super Smash Bros, precisely because it plays more like a platformer than a fighting game. I’m saying that your point stands, here. Lack of skill transferability is what’s causing the genre to become more niche
2XKO my bad… lord what a name
I wish I understood anything about game marketing cause the situation with 2HKO seems like it was set up to fail.
Riot is still garbage for the layoffs regardless.
nobody wants another f2p multiplayer shooter but its the only thing capital will invest in because of how big the two (2) multiplayer shooters that anyone plays are so you just repeat launch dead games forever because capital is dumb as (black)rocks
HISTORIANS HAHAHAHAHAHA BE SERIOUS

This is the first time I’ve seen this translated. Lmao that’s nasty.
Illustration of wyll ravengard from baldur’s gate 3. His portrait is positioned in the middle of a black and grey green frame. The frame details vines, a rapier engulfed in flame with a snake at the top, a stone eye in the top corner, and orange colored spots. Wyll has a white earring and ear cuffs.

A colored digital drawing of Haolong, a stocky ornithopod dinosaur, standing on all fours with his head raised and beak opened, apparently calling out. The dinosaur is covered in a mosaic of small scales, sharp spines and large plate-like scales.
Spiny little friend.
A quick doodle of Haolong dongi, a newly described ornithopod from China with... spikes. Numerous sharp spines grew from the animal's neck and back, seemingly different from all other known dinosaur integuments. Definitely wasn't on my bingo card for 2026 dinosaur finds!
Completely forgot it was the Super Bowl today. Do we care about who’s playing?
Can't wait for the big game today.
I know I'm a fan of the team and they're the reigning champions, but I don't think team fluff is as obvious a favorite as everyone seems to think.
Team ruff has some players. I think Lobster Roll is a strong contender for taking home the Lombarky and winning MVP.
