The most popular truck simulator is finally arriving in my spiritual homeland. I'm kinda split on whether they should have done it earlier as the quality of recent map add-ons have improved… or maybe it's because they recently overhauled the visual effects.


Meanwhile, I'm properly annoyed American Truck Sim started on the west coast, because I wanna be east coast truckin' over here.

Don't worry, they'll get to the east coast in the year 2035 at the rate of these maps coming out.

Not even dissing them here, they're actually making quality shit, but man is it going to take them a while to get the US done at this rate.

Sounds reasonable. I suspect the opening post will need frequent updating, as the video gaming trends evolve fast. Side note, you should add "by Post" as a joke option in reference to one of Ashen's sketches (PC by Post). Oh, and make sure users can change their votes because things change quickly in the video game industry.

Dwarf Fortress is the only game where you can have a undead blind cave orge killing over 5 thousands things in a single battle. So heartwarming :p.

In the context of the ongoing horrific events in Israel, Palestine and Ukraine, morals seem to be no object in both real-life and video game worlds. :(

I've experience in soulsborne games, yet I had to mod it to be "easier" (and I'm still getting my ass kicked) to press forward, because it was getting way overmy head at one boss.

I watched a review of it, and the reviewer did seem to think that at a certain point, there was a spike in difficulty when it came to bosses.

that lies of p takes places fantasy Italy, same way bloodborne takes place in fantasy london, instead of just being some forgotten moment in real life Italy's history. At least based on way theology and mythology works in game's world building.
