Tell that to the trailer on Steam. Made that game look fun. All fending off aliens and such. I saw no aliens. I spent an hour adjusting a satellite dish.

I suppose it's as fun as Death Star Simulator, until you find out that you are assigned to the laundry.

You banned a what now? What's a rdmr? I haven't played Triple T for a while.



In other news, fuck like half of Rising Tide, seriously. One enemy, one, parks his fat ass on the anti-sea bear circle and oh well, you gotta clean him off. Another then takes his place and so on, starting the most masochist game of Whack-a-Mole. Repeat for 10 minutes until some fucking robots decide to Naruto run through the circle when it's like 99.99% done because some old fucking fart who hasn't been relevant for 4-5 major quests is butthurt. Fucking seriously. Also there should be a rush mechanic for the Railjack parts. It's a good thing I really like spaceships, otherwise I would've eaten my controller out of sheer rage.
This is basically every Rising Tide mission

RDM means Random Death Match, its basically when ever you randomly kill someone with no justification. TTT has a karma system, which effects the amount of damage you do, and this goes down whenever you kill someone on your team, so if you are an innocent and you kill another innocent, it lowers etc. And on most servers once your karma drops low enough you get banned for a few hours.

So we had these two rdmers, who were randomly killing people, but not enough to get banned and for their karma to increase every new round as it does automatically. But one of them got really really low, just above the ban limit. So i took the plunge and opened up on him, and him landing a single bullet on me was enough to get him banned for the damage he caused. Then his mate jumped ship afterwards

Pretty sure one of their mates joined the server after this tho, as he made a beeline for me, rdmed me then called me a few racial slurs then left the server.

Ohhhhhh, now I remember. RDMRs are the worst. I never was good at Triple T anyways, only got a kill or two at most before some ninja Semper Fis me from behind.

I think I have a creative imagination that is a bit outside the box, as I can seem to find the most obscure solutions in puzzles that have multiple solutions to them.

Just finished The Wolf Among Us, as I never got the chance to play it when it was released. I like it very much. Now one of my favourite games of that particular genre.

Played a few hours of The Witcher, since all the cool kids are tossing coins to their Witcher. It's not bad, despite its age and the weirdness of the combat.

I've always been interested in those games but newer had access to them. So given that the series has had multiple installments which would you recommend to a complete noob starting to play today? Do I need to start from #1 to get the plot or should I go for a later one with more up to date game mechanics and graphics? Note that I do play the original DOOM so I am not that much of a graphics snob but I do like my games to work on modern cards without having to struggle much. Also what's the best way to pick them up and are there any essential mods or (un)official patches I'd need to add?

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.



The above post contains hyperbole, metaphoric language, embellishment and exaggeration. It may also include badly translated figures of speech and misused idioms. Analyze accordingly.

I tried starting the Witcher series at game 1, but there was just something about the game’s jank that I just couldn’t handle.

Maybe it’s time to give it another go, maybe pick up some mods to alleviate any issue I have.
