Hello myself! I did some more searching, and I found a mod called Enemy Scaling that has what I want! You can directly modify enemy health values, by category even (so I can ramp down boss healths more than regular mobs or w/e). Got it installed, and going to test playing it tonight. Wanted to post my find for anyone else who finds this thread

Living under capitalism is living under the yoke of devils. You cannot escape them, and you sometimes make deals with them, whether because you have to, or you think the deal will work out for you. But that doesn't mean you should love the devils, and if you can get away from them you should.
Yeah, most people's phones or shoes or whatever probably have some dirty pasts, but that doesn't mean we should just give up on making any kind of good or moral choices. We're locked into capitalism, and we will have blood on our hands whether we are aware or not, but using that as an excuse to give up on trying to do better is not a coherent moral position.
I think there's a significant difference between "any shoe I try to buy is shady, and if a wholesome option even exists it is incredibly hard to find/buy/pricey", and "sure Amazon workers literally die in warehouses, but next day shipping on my random knickknacks is soooo convenient!"
There exists real and valid use-cases for prime, as several other people in this thread have expressed. But just shrugging and saying "eg whatever" because you want to save $1 on random junk isn't one of them.
I was making an account to play Command & Conquer: Renegade. The NOD team had a unit called the Chem Warrior that shot liquid tiberium like a flame thrower, thought it was super cool. Don't remember how I ended up on Slayer instead, but it stuck
+1 for connect, I was originally on Jerboa but it crashed so dang often. I like that switching accounts is easy, makes it a breeze to have my general interests Beehaw account and my niche interests account and swap between them
I love RimWorld, and I love DRM-free, but RimWorld on GoG is a mistake.
Instead, buy RimWorld directly from Ludeon. Then you get both DRM-free files from them (to enjoy in the fallout bunker), AND a steam key (so that you can easily enjoy the metric boatloads of modding content on the steam workshop).
Dang, the rainbow colored broken TV opening screen was iconic for me! ;p
The game already played great on deck, glad the weird cutscene issue is solved so they can properly get their green checkmark
Red Alert 3! For me it perfectly balanced the grand strategy aspect of RTS, without the insane amounts of micro. Plus, the humor is campy and fun, and the scenarios in the campaigns are engaging. Only disclaimer is it is the definition of male-gaze in pretty much every way (spoilers: the attractive lady who gives you missions falls in love with you by the end. This is true for all 3 faction campaigns lol)
Gotta agree to disagree with y'all, I enjoyed the slice-of-life aspects and pacing a lot. I don't normally do JRPGs so I can't compare
Slay the Spire is a classic, it's all turn based, playing is easy but mastering it is a deep skill if that's something you're into.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a cool CRPG, the exploration is real-time and it switched to turn based for combat. Very big and large, and you can spend a lotta time running around learning lore rather than fighting if that's what you like.
Persona 5 Royal is a dream, again turn-based fighting, cute characters and story, very anime. Also long (took me like 90 hours) but never feels drawn-out.
If you like board games, I've recently got the Aeons End digital adaptation, and that's a lotta fun. It's co-op, but you can play "two-handed" (aka control 2 people) and it works pretty flawlessly, and the app is very good. If you really wanna be ambitious you can even play up to 4-handed, but I feel like that's too much brainpower for any sane person lol
Damn that was a long read, but very engaging. Thanks for the commentary and history lesson hybrid!
I'd hope so. Unlike digital implementations, TTS is literally just the same board game, but on a digital space. Scripting etc can help, but it's still the same at the end of the day. I don't count digital apps in my board game tracking app, but I do count plays on TTS, as they really are just the same thing, different place
I've loved tingle, I've read most of his Asexual stories (which do a great job of both portraying ace and satirizing/joking around with it) and also Straight. I gotta say though, while Straight was an enjoyable read, it wasn't really good as far as being a horror novel went. But that's fair for the guys first try, and I'm interested to see what his next "serious" offering reads like
