Your dreams are only a print shop away! Those guys will put damn near anything in a poster print, just bring 'em a file.

That's not remotely the point here.

That WAS the sale price. It's $200 something dollars for the complete set of Stellaris normally, on 50% sale that's still $100+ for everything. Pretty sure CKII was worse.

I mean, you say that, but a new player looking to get into Stellaris or CKII is looking at a $300 bill if they want all the content. In fact that's what prevented me from getting into Stellaris, I own the base game, but when I discovered I'd need to shell out an additional several hundred dollars, even during a sale, for not only new species but just for base game mechanics, I stopped in my tracks.

Compare with Civilization, I own Civ V and Civ VI and all the released content for each, pretty sure I bought each of those for less than $20.

If we had an appropriate scheduling for it so that it could be properly researched and manufactured we could just treat it like every other plant-based medicine we have (of which there are VERY many) - isolate and extract the compounds you're interested in and recombine them in a pill or gel or aerosol form. Making supplements or tinctures or whatever, from cannabis, wouldn't be any more difficult than creating aspirin from willow. The only reason it's difficult is because it's so highly scheduled that nobody is allowed to work with it.

Honestly with a writeup like this I wouldn't be mad about it even if you did, this is excellent. I wish all my downvoted comments got this kind of attention.

Man, the ballots aren't even printed yet and they're already planning their "Nuh-uh!!!!!!!" for when they lose. Truly, this is the strength and fortitude you expect out of your fascist leaders. Very strong and confident.

I think this is all fair criticism. I played this game when I was 12, after all, and did mostly play the multiplayer after a single run through of the story.

Also important to note that I hadn't actually played the mainline Prime games yet at that time, that probably had a lot to do with it.

Great write up, only thing I disagree on is the buffoon packs, I take those things all the time. Around the same cost as a mid level joker but you get a choice of several to pick from, often at least one of which would normally be more expensive than the pack was. They're not always winners but the value is often good. And standard packs are one of the primary sources of really good deck cards, otherwise you're relying entirely on tarot cards to buff your deck after you have a good joker setup and that can get dicey. Use discretion, but I take packs of all sorts more often than I don't so long as I can stay above or at least near the interest cap while doing so. My buying priorities usually go Voucher(if I can afford it) > Packs > Voucher(if I can't afford it yet) > Shop > Reroll.

But I'm also not an expert by any means, I have similar stats to yours.

With Primehack you can play the OG prime series (I think the Wii U version?) on PC with a controller for dual joystick control like a modern FPS, or even m+k. It also runs well on steam deck, I have it on mine. It's very excellent, highly recommend.

I actually liked Hunters :c

I found Tunic to be a bit obtuse, but I'm usually a wiki gamer and that game really seemed like one where I should not do that. As a result I really didn't know what I was doing for a good while. I've never had a game make me work so hard to learn to read before, and even that I only learned by cheating...

All that said though, fantastic game, 10/10, it feels like classic Zelda bred together with Hollow Knight. I do recommend it. If you're going in blind though, be prepared to use your head and maybe also a pad of paper.
