Absolutely agree with everyone else: love the art style and setting, so this is a definite wishlist~!

This is it folks! If you like arpg's in general, or like the game itself, this is the last chance to play the game developed by 11th hr.

This is the last bit of content (at least major stuff) they'll release and then it'll be forever tainted by the disgusting filth from Krafton. They may as well just do a total rebrand, because it won't be Last Epoch anymore.

I've had fun with the game in the past, played through to endgame on multiple occassions, and I'll probably fire up this season just for sentimental "goodbye old friend" reasons.

edit:

oh, and @d10sfan - there is a truly offline mode for SSF if you want it. They released it just before (or was it right with it?) the 1.0 release, so you may have played before they released that, but nowadays you can play truly offline single player. That's how I play, since I don't care about any online stuff.

I see a lot of upset posts on bluesky about this, and I'm kind of on the fence myself. If a game isn't specifically about a certain region or people in present times, then why would I care what language gamers review it in?

Like for instance, I love playing fantasy or scifi rpgs. None of them are based in any semblance of present day places or people. So ... again, I don't care if a person speaks spanish or english, or whatever, why would I?

Also, as someone who wants to be LESS insular (especially in these horrible united states right now) wouldn't it be good to get some gaming thoughts and reviews from people from different cultures all over the world? Why would I want to remove all that?

I see specific "this game isn't translated well" negative reviews totally separate, and feel they could have tackled that issue differently.

I LOVE a good 16bit rpg on the Deck, so this I will be following closely, thank you for the recommendation! (also in other news, Quartet comes out soon and I am SO pumped)

Loved Snowrunner, but then they released Mudrunner Expeditions and it was just SUCH a letdown. This one I'll definitely keep an eye on, but a wary sideeye lol.

@Kimyrielle

I understand what you're saying ... however!

"none of those dotcoms ever made a profit, had tons of cash shoved at them, never had a marketable product, vague business plans"

Does any of that sound familiar? Because it's exactly the same!! Every single ai product out there today is dependent upon one single company on earth. Every single ai product out there has zero business plan to make a profit. Every single ai product out there is burning through billions in cash with not a profit even fathomable. And then add salt into the wound: they're also burning the planet down with them.

Regarding the bubble: omg it's gonna be a BLOODBATH when (not if) it bursts. If you go back and count for inflation, the bubble is worse now than it was in the 90s for the dot com burst, and that was world shiftingly huge. This is even bigger.

I see all this AI garbage as the HYPERoverbloated zombie corpse of "tech" shambling around in 2025 not knowing where to go or what to do so it just steals everything from everybody and vomits it back up. Very much like a zombie. And I say all that as someone who works every single day in tech. LOL.

Tech made a kazillion dollarydoos on creating the world's most nightmarish surveillance machine, and since then has shambled around without any kind of purpose or meaning or success anywhere near that.

BUT YOU GUYS, crypto is gonna change the world, I mean it ...

NO SERIOUSLY THIS TIME nft's are gonna change the world, you guys, I'm super serious ...

OH BUT WAIT vr is gonna change the world with metaverses everywhere, for serious this time ...

NEVERMIND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF, this time it's for real, I swear, you guys, you guys, just listen, AI will change the world!

... WHEN this current bubble bursts, it's going to be really really bad. I think AI has a future in our society, but in a very specific use case for each implementation. Totally 100% opposite of what's happening now with every single company on earth shoving it inside every thing they do without even understanding any of it, "just because".

@scaine - that's a really good article! Good read.

whoa, they removed yast? I can remember from my time on tumbleweed, that was a wonderful tool that was widely loved by the community.

I don't know anything about the topic, but I'm sure they get very special discounts?

I suppose so, yes.

Check this out btw:

They're doing ~ 16 terabits of transfer a day. That's actually a lot lower than I would have expected.
