*snipped the large pic*

Now that's a find!

Edit: Wait, how does the picture match to it :S

To be fair, there actually is a level in Dark Souls that looks an awful lot like the pic, the Demon Ruins.

Not sure that there's any more connection than just that, though.

Skyrim, obviously. I mean what else could it be?

Ugh. Right away, in fullscreen it shuts down my other monitor and disabled alt-tab.

That's not a good sign.

I should give TDM another try. Last time I tried to play, it was having serious issues with fullscreen on my system. And at one point I was getting no graphics at all, just a black screen. The new engine probably won't have the same issues.

You base this guesstimate on what?

Logic. Common sense.
If you don't know what you are doing, how likely are you to achieve what you want to achieve?

"Common sense", in my experience, largely means "matches with the things I was taught as a child and assume are universal laws". It leads to a lot of problems when presented with ideas and people that refuse to fit into simple little boxes.

And I see from the previous comment that we've started to attract the edgelords. Hello, hello. Welcome to GoL.

Maybe after I've had my fill of Stardew Valley, I might give ToME another go and see if I can finally get off the first continent.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyGreed existed before capitalism and will doubtless continue to exist after. Capitalism is just the only system to actually base itself on greed as the main virtue (although most actual humans aren't really very virtuous by our society's standards). Feudal societies based themselves on warrior virtues, and tended to disdain merchants as much because they weren't bloodthirsty enough as because they were too greedy.

How interesting that you mention that last part right after I read an article about how Bushido, the supposed way of the Samurai, was essentially bullshit made up by one man at the turn of the 20th century. And related closely to the similarly mythological idea of middle ages chivalry in Europe, itself made up well after the fact. In either case, personal gain was a bigger motivator than honour, and both Samurai and Knights revelled in their status as elites, and the upper ranks of both did pretty well for themselves financially.

So an RPG that actually penalises you for being a kleptomaniac murder hobo? That's pretty refreshing.

Quoting: MayeulCI was thinking about this game today... It was really hard to find. How about editing the title so that we can easily find it later? Including ASCII, Retro and Roguelike in the title would make the search function behave better, I think ;)

Or maybe we need a better way to search trough articles?

I'm not sure how editing the title would change that much, but it does have the Roguelike tag on it. If you use the "Search by category" function on the sidebar and choose that, you should be able to find what you're looking for easily.
