I will always upbear nlposting
I don't watch streamers but if I did I'd be watching him
yes, sis, yes
Engels I need you to top up my steam account
I'm imagining Marx writing a dissertation on the water economy in Caves of Qud
I wish caves of qud worked well with a controller, I do couch PC gaming and that's one roguelike I've been wanting to try
I too prefer controller gaming; controller support is awesome
I think it might be better since the 1.0 release a few weeks ago. Feel like I remember something in the notes about improved controller support
He'd be a hardcore ascii only roguelike player.
Anything else being called a roguelike is revisionism used to market games and ignores the fundamental contradictions between adventurers and dungeons
Hell yeah. Anything else is bourgeois decadence.
I've been on a Brogue CE kick recently and can confirm that shit is still as good as games can be
I sometimes think about what Marx would make of the failed spartacist uprising and the successful soviet revolution. Germany was the one place where the "ideal conditions" for socialism were present - Urbanised workers, industrial, politically aware, etc. and it got crushed.
It's not like he didn't account for it, but I wonder whether that would have made him revisit some things. I'd also like to know what he'd main in smash. Then again he could be a LoL type.
Likewise I am curious about how knowledge of climate change (to the apocalyptic extent we see it) would affect his work.
He would be a friend of Jimbo
yes
I love rogue likes and I want more.
