Isn't those number so high due to conscription mostly? And after 1973 it drops with no sign of recovering.

Richard Hanania recently had a podcast with Russian Libertarian Michail Svetov if anyone wants to listen.
"Talk with Richard Hanania about the American Imperialism in the age of Woke, the state of Pax Americana, triumph of identity politics, ideology in US foreign policy and the great political realignment."

Sea of stars is vastly overrated, Chained Echoes is superior in every way.

This is all amazing, shame that the game for me was a murderhobo simulator and nothing else. In a way I can see myself and a few friends getting a few beers and discuss after a playthrough (entirely like I did when the Game of Thrones tv show was coming out), but the game seems to not care about delivering it's themes, so I ended up not bothering at all.

Seconding Mother of Learning, it's truly is a rare gem from RoyalRoad AND it's still available fully on the website, despite the books on kindle. After looking through tens of works on RR that don't seem to have any hint of coherent ending around this decade I bought the books just as a "thank you" for the author. One curious "error" from writing continuously is still present though -
Otherwise a lot of works on RR starts to blend together with each other in my mind, oh berserking skill + healing, daring aren't we?

As a follow up to this question, considering how long some wounds takes to heal after 30+ is there a helpful solution to calm myself and not to try and scratch it every other day? Stupid ingrown hairs.....
There are several passives that guaranties shields and a few abilities. Some characters can be specced with as much DEF as possible and shrug most damage, looking at you, Maelle. I don't think you can outheal any fight, but if you select enemies at appropriate level (and not try to kill Sprong at level 33) you can just play more or less like normal JRPG after some point in act1.

Hmm, if this would be the thread of "mediocre games that you enjoy" I could list a bunch, heck, here's recent one: Evil West it's a AA title with very shallow story but quite fun gameplay when you get some upgrades and start playing it like a god hand clone.
But getting to the topic, I simply refuse to play through deadly premonition to the end, it's torture for nothing. The gameplay is super bad, I tried 3 times and when the fighting starts I just want to murder whoever worked on the animations. It was no in-game joke, I truly believe it was created on a floor from scraps with a team consisting of interns. You can't tell me it was done otherwise.
For any other bad games from the past I highly recommend Ross Game dungeon series, there is a lot of hidden gems for your liking, here's his recent one - Sabotain

Do Steeler fans still love football or it's just a tradition of punishing your liver on Sunday?

I tried, but the buy in for the story didn't work for me at all, even Godclads wasn't that thick.

The only thing George wrote for Elden Ring is his name on the cover and incest in the dlc.
Kidding, not Kidding. From Software doesn't do plot, or narrative. The one game where they tried to consciously write was Sekiro and it can clearly be seen that they can't really pull it off. (I will await for inevitable arrival of people that will claim that I'm wrong and Miyadzaki is a genius). Currently playing through Wukong slowly and what I've seen from first 3 chapters is miles above what From Software released in last 10 years, combined.

Eeh, I'm on a nostalgia/clean-steam-library path recently. Nox is the greatest isometric action game, fite me.

I tried to replay the game recently but couldn't get over the slow start before you actually get to play with upgraded toys, and the base defense tutorial mission put me to sleep.

It seems that "load more comments" is also pulling newly created top comments in a thread, in addition to the older comments. This makes it confusing when you try to read the thread for yesterday but get something posted 3 minutes ago.

I simply can't wrap my head around the Hally character, mostly her origins. She is a daughter of a Lumon CEO and is portrayed in season 2 as very ruthless and calculating individual all in on their creepy cult business and secrets, so why is she there? Just to provide a PR face to their Severance project? Can't she fake it? And nobody(including herself) gives a shit about the suicide attempt? Like we are hiding that this project almost killed the daughter of CEO and everyone is cool with it.
You mean the attempt to use every pejorative in the dictionary over the ~40ish articles to show how much he hates it? I loved ME2 and it is most replayed game from ME series for me. Gameplay was vastly improved compared to ME1.
