started playing Ruiner. had it in my library for years intending on playing, but just now got around to it. it's VERY fun! i felt like a retard idiot playing the tutorial on hard, then the game introduces a CRITICAL mechanic immediately after that made everything click for me. hard mode went from "wow this is impossible i must be genuinely disabled or something" to "difficult but fun"
there's also a lot of schizo anarchist / anti-government bitches, see picrels. we got:
anti-gov mafiosa lady who hires you as a hitman to kill off corporate AIs giving her boys in the field trouble
catgirl schizo anarchist who tasks you with finding cats on the street (they are ACTUALLY just eyes of the government used to SPY on us and OPRESS the people.... obviously)
'Her'. Not really sure who exactly she is other than a crazy bitch who has hacked my brain and keeps calling me 'Puppy' when I kill the enemies real good. concerning but still attractive I must say!
Looking forward to playing more over the next few days. Ideally looking to finish my playthrough by the end of the week, then I'll be moving on to some other games in my backlog and writing up my opinions as I go.
@merchantHelios They actually have a lot of great, mid-priced indie games they've published, and yeah, I know how it goes with the extensive backlog and not enough time
I'm so tired of people, especially normoids talking about Dune. It should've been left to obscure BBS mailing lists in the 90s, ranking (deservedly, btw) below LOTR and Asimov's Foundation Trilogy
@merchantHelios@grey I don't much care for the mixed race black chick they have playing her, Zandeya or whatever her name is, no idea why zoomers love her
