Don't fear the FRIDAY
« on: April 22, 2022, 01:06:18 PM »
It's Friday evening over here and no Friday thread !   Traditions must be kept alive.




A perfect pop song, it only needs more cowbells  ;).

For gaming : more Horizon Zero Dawn.

^One of my favorite songs of all time. But it has been used before. Not that I'm complaining.

Total War: Three Kingdoms this weekend with Total War: Troy and Assassin's Creed: Odyssey on deck.

Good song indeed.

I'll be playing with Empire Total War, HOI4, Dark Souls, and maybe some Heroes & Generals.

Lately all my gaming time has been spent working on this game I'm writing, currently titled "A War of a Madman's Making."  I've commissioned an artist to do some nice, relatively cheap character sprites that I'm pretty happy with.  Really nails the '90s pseudo-Soviet Union vibe of my game's setting. 

I've still got a long ways to go before I'm done, but it's nice having some actual artwork for early playtesting. The current struggle has been balancing the narrative with actual gameplay mechanics. It's more of a Visual Novel in the vein of something like Suzerain than your traditional wargame, but with some basic mechanics for balancing stats like budget, Great Leader favor, etc.





The AK looks a little off, but considering it's a "not-AK" from an alternate universe I'm fine with it.   :D

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

Well said!

My friend also gave a great description of the soldier - he looks hungry but nourished by patriotic fervor and loyalty to the Great Leader!  So, less hungry than most citizens  :D

As a fat guy, fat guys ain't gonna blouse their pants; too much bending and wheezing and light-headedness involved.

Gaming-wise, got Day Z loaded up for a lark.  May take a turn or two with some of my other "survival," sorta games for lulz.

Stay safe, everyone, and have a good weekend!

Ah, the beauty of the internet!  In fact*, I was the body model they used for all those guys in 300.  You seen Gerard?  G ain't slim by any stretch.  still pissed that they've slacked on royalties over the years.
