Just by way of an update, someone recently recommended Thunder as a Lemmy client on android and this let’s you do it, you can switch to an anonymous user to browse an entire instance so that’s a great feature that Jerboa and Sync lack

Ok thanks, I guess that’s a kinda globally missing feature at the moment?

There are lots of decent actual plays on YouTube that can give you a very solid idea of how it actually works in practice. My personal favourite style is the glass cannon network as they tend to lean towards how your home game might be (ie it’s not all serious and there’s goofing off during the game) but I’m sure people have specific recommendations for cyberpunk and dungeons and dragons

He is also an amazing roleplayer

Check out Haunted City, the blades in the dark RPG actual play podcast. Abu is the chaos agent in this and has some amazing scenes. One of the best

Yeah I think that is the general sentiment on 2. I didn’t feel this way at all when I played it.

I think the themes in 2 are so powerful and explored in interestin such interesting ways. It tackles growing up and responsibility but also obviously politics, protest, immigration, racism.

True colours gets in to some of these more global themes too, albeit in a much narrower scope.

I guess 2 was a lot more ambitious and clearly didn’t land for people as successfully

I thought the writing was excellent, especially compared to the first game. It also had a bisexual storyline for what it’s worth but I generally thought it was such a great expansion of all their ideas.

Also loved the free teaser game captain awesome, and how it crossed over into the main game.

I feel like they really were stung by the overall reception of it, that we lost the storyline we’d have had if it had gone over well. I thought it was vastly superior personally. That said I’ve enjoyed all the games in the series. Before the storm feels janky at first but does have some decent writing in it also.

Stoked for that and Blood and Rage early next year as well

Thanks for sharing this. I love the series so I will play this, tbqh I’m not sure these events mark Deck Nine out much from the industry as a whole sadly.

Off topic, what did y’all think of LiS2? I thought it was a real shame that it didn’t do as well as they hoped.

Yes, why to do this?

100%

If you use Steam you can search on the category “Choices Matter” FYI

I completely agree. I want a new bigger one! I thought the writing in 2 was great, considering how cringe some of it was in LiS and Before the Storm (which I still loved anyway).

LiS2 is a brilliant brilliant game

I know exactly the part you mean and same. Amazing moment. I also LOVED the sequel. Criminal that it didn’t do as well as they wanted because I want them to make an even bigger version next. True Colours was pretty good though

We should really get [email protected] going

Yes exactly, as long as that adds up to the same compensation percentage the original voice actor signed up for then I don’t see an issue with this.

I’m almost 100% sure that won’t be the case without a fight

Sure, as long as everyone gets paid!
