now that i’m replaying Outriders (2021) here’s a great goddamn writing tip:
manufacturing drama for drama’s sake isn’t good writing. if your characters are acting out of character specifically so that you can make something OH NO TERRIBLE happen for maximum drama that actually doesn’t effect anything else in the plot except to try and garner emotional reactions? that’s bad writing. it’s just bad writing. there’s no getting around it. it pisses off your audience and adds nothing but resentment.
god i love this game but i literally had to slide down in my chair and laugh hysterically so i didn’t scream.

I cannot express how tired I am of sci-fi where the "twist" is, "Everything was beautiful, and then HUMANS RUINED IT!"
You're not unique for taking the darkest possible view of humanity. I'm going to find a way to write something very sci-fi hopepunk just to put my middle finger up to this.

My brother really likes Gabriel the Outrider, so he drew him but soon realized he'd made him look a little bit like Jake Marshall from Ace Attorney. So I now present to you Amnesia as Ace Attorney
Disaster ghost Elise haunts the idiot who murdered her, this is the face she makes whenever she sees the perfect opportunity to terrify Daniel
Alexander von Karma can and will kill you
My brother says about this one, "You'd probably expect Daniel to be Phoenix, but I think Daniel surpasses Phoenix in level of stupidity until you get Daniel Butz"
And we end with a true Gabriel Marshall

Although Terminators have been front-and-center this edition, it's nice to see Ravenwing getting some love even if it is just a shoulder pads and hussar wing for their sergeants. Samael desperately needs an update, but that's probably just as well since the Primaris grav units haven't exactly been standout exemplars of design.
Love that the Terminator plasma cannon doesn't have any chapter-specific iconography on it, though. That's gonna get some use outside of the Dark Angels range.

PCF and Squenix publishing really just showed the gaming world how to kill your own game, and significantly decrease player concurrence in less than 2 years and no I don't say this with any amount of positive elation

Lamentation of Outriders
Lamentation of Outriders - This morning I spend more time than is probably necessary talking about how Outriders should have been a Live-Service game.
Good Morning Folks. I’ve been spending a bit of time over the last few days thinking about a game that could have been, but never really was… Outriders. I reinstalled it recently and it is still an enjoyable looter shooter experience, with its roots in the fundamentals of ARPG build diversity and design. It was the hoped Destiny Slayer that would come along and offer a more interesting gameplay…
