The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Quote from: Tamas on April 06, 2024, 10:26:29 AMAm I right in thinking there's no point in playing Helldivers 2 as a casual solo player?

I played my way up to level 30 or so solo (back then you could unlock everything at level 20). It was a nice way to get to know missions, enemies, strats and different loadouts in a sedate manner.

I stopped playing then unless my mates are online. The game is not only much harder, but also a lot less fun without friends.
Yesterday I managed to kill myself by calling an anti-tank pod shortly before engaging the terminal. I can't even fathom how many times the damned ball bounced off shit to land just where I was standing, but we laughed at it for a solid half an hour.

We play at 22:00 CET and most of us speak English if you feel like diving.

These communist bots are so much harder than bugs, man.

Anyone played Terra Invicta?
It looks rather brilliant. Its on sale.
I shan't be buying it this time around as I just wouldn't get a chance to play it. But my eye remains on it for the future.

Played a very very early version. It seemed like one of those games that you can lose in the first hour and not have an inkling of it for another 10.

I'll return to it eventually.

It's on Game Pass as well btw.

I tried playing it a few times.  Only after a couple hours playing do you get far enough to launch a space station.  I think there's an interesting game there, but the opening is deliberately slow and as Tamas said I think its easy to make early mistakes that compound later.

Scheduled for Q3 release - Dungeons of Hinterberg.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1983260/Dungeons_of_Hinterberg/

QuoteArmed with a sword and a tourist guide, explore the beautiful alpine village of Hinterberg and uncover the magic hidden within its dungeons! Master magic, solve puzzles, slay monsters; all this and more await you in Hinterberg!

Welcome to Hinterberg, a new tourist hotspot in the idyllic Austrian Alps! You play as Luisa, a burnt-out law trainee taking a break from her fast-paced corporate life to conquer the Dungeons of Hinterberg. There are plenty of dungeons to find and adventures to be had in Hinterberg – will Luisa be sent packing on her first day, or remain to become a Master Slayer? Only one way to find out...

Snowboard down a glacier, zipline through the forest, climb a mountain, or have a coffee by the lake... There's no shortage of places to discover while you're out looking for your next dungeon!

Monsters lurk around every corner in Hinterberg, and your sword and magic skills are essential for keeping them at bay. Harness the wind, conjure a snowboard out of thin air, or freeze your enemies in a jelly block!

Braving a dungeon requires more than just cutting-edge sports gear and a good sword arm: Hinterberg's dungeons are full of puzzles that will surprise and challenge

Spend your nights forging friendships with the locals and other adventurers! Some of them will help you get stronger or teach you new tricks, others are just here for excitement and selfies... But good relationships don't just make your stay more memorable - they're the key to becoming a better slayer!
