Axiom Verge 2 on Steam Explore a sprawling, alien world in the sequel to the award winning Axiom Verge.

instead of doing that i'll throw some other ones out there. Axiom Verge 2 got a lot of unfair flak for not being like the first one (it's at 75%). i think it's distinctive and awesome and stands next to super metroid in sheer explorability and secret potential store.steampowered.com/app/946030/A...

I’ve always liked the onion’s eyes in this one

"What ultimately broke me and my Blizzard career was I got called into the CFO's office and he sits me down and he says—he gives me a date which at the time was 2020 and was going to slip to 2021, but at the time it was 2020—and he said: 'Overwatch has to make [redacted] in 2020, and then every year after that it needs a recurring revenue of [redacted]' and then he says to me 'if it doesn't do [redacted] we're going to lay off 1,000 people, and that's going to be on you.' And that was the biggest fuck you moment I've had in my career, it felt surreal to be in that condition."

This is a deranged thing to say to someone wtf. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ov...

As War Comes to Gulf States, Migrant Workers Pay the Highest Price

"Leaving is a choice that is typically not available to the lowest-paid migrants, who are bound by employment contracts, debts or family obligations. And whatever the risks they face in the Gulf countries ... they keep coming, because the remittances they send home are a lifeline."

In my search for actual info on PS2 piracy rates I saw several academic articles mentioning the US had an overall 46,4% piracy rate...

I got for the source and it's a random 1-page article in a 2003 Canadian magazine that doesn't even give a source... 💀

This game deserves more time in the spotlight. One of the weirdest, most experimental things in the roguelike design sphere.

There's a lot of games out there that just stick with tried-and-tested formulas with a minor twist. We should spotlight the creative stuff.

Moody beats, coloured smoke and lighting, and industrial sci-fi architecture based on a real-life ironworks.

A 1999 Polish FPS that looks like it use the Quake II engine but in fact runs on its own, and plays more like a stealth game than a run-and-gun.

What I gather from this ancient Babylonian dialogue (and others) is that we have grappled with injustice for millennia. We've talked about it with our friends, and we've felt understandably depressed. How can we not?

But we will keep fighting, and the smoke will clear one day...

"Why is not one, at his god,
speaking justice;
being a supporter of truth;
(but) is settled just like a wicked person?"

In this ancient Babylonian dialogue, this is the friend's answer to why he feels gloomy. He answers with a question. Why, he asks, is not even a single person being good?

An ancient account of King Ashurbanipal, who ruled in the 600s BCE, boasts of his enemies' suffering. It does not sound too far removed from some of the boasts we hear today.

"They became like corpses. The faces of the people became gloomy like smoke (iqturū kīma qutri) with depression and grief."

In this ancient Babylonian dialogue, one friend asks, "Why are you so gloomy about many things?"

Let's do some dead languages together for a sec. The word translated here as "be/become gloomy" (qatāru) can also mean "to billow with smoke".

How might we get from smokey to gloomy?

"– Why are you so gloomy about many things?

– Why is not one, at his god, speaking justice; being a supporter of truth; but is settled just like a wicked person?"

Extremely apt post. If you feel like the second person in that dialogue, you're not alone, and haven't been for millennia
