Crazy marketing and release strategy for this one, making it just vague enough to inspire drama between those-who-believe and those-who-didn't; from what I can tell, it has generated A LOT of interest, and the Steam numbers are super high right now. We might see more of these slow-leak-surprise-drop releases going forward, based on the success of this.

fake. hoax. and if not: stupid. UE brown-gray filter is the same color and consistency as the fecal matter of a dying elderly person, all fluffy and gray and sandy-like, like shitting saw dust, you know? if this is real, it's embarrassing. they missed the whole aesthetic idea of the original game (Tolkien-esque, very colorful, but dark disturbing somewhat eldritch underbelly), which begs the question: what else did they miss?
love these "explain why"s that are literally always "because we are trying to make as much money as possible." didn't need an article to tell me that.
BIG DOUBT. disappointing "remaster" with poorly upscaled backgrounds AT MOST.
When criticism of the act gets enough likes on Lemmy and/or Reddit—that's when I know what to think.
oh damn, why am i just now hearing about this
nice, what did you think of it?
Tolkien's descriptions of settings and flow w/ action sequences really make the book fly by. although, i thought the ending was a bit rushed—with the death of Smaug being somewhat disappointing, and the little war at the end was more of a whimper than a bang.
otherwise, brilliant little book, it felt like going on a DnD campaign or something—and rightly so, considering it sort of inspired all that.
almost tempted to make an alt account and then post a thread in the politics community titled something like, "planning to k*ll B!ll g@tes; any help would be appreciated" (i would work on the title to make it believable, of course). but you know what would happen; i would get banned. because this whole "k!ll the rich" thing is performative, i.e. misguided virtue signalling. and it's all very very immature.

one of the best songs ever written, in my book. loved it the moment I heard it, back in high school, early 2000s, have been singing the outro verses like a mind virus ever since.
