I tell people that I’m good at computers. That I’ve built computers. That I know how to troubleshoot computers.
But even still, every time I properly hook up my front panel USB ports properly I’m totally impressed with myself. Catch me plugging in a USB drive and straight up congratulating myself when it reads. Headphone jack works? I’m the king of computers.
concept: cursed amulet that convinces the wearer there is no way it could possibly be cursed, and makes them completely resistant to any attempts to convince them otherwise
to clarify further: that’s it. that’s the entire curse. it has no other effects on the wearer, malevolent or otherwise.
them: yo you should take that necklace off it’s definitely cursed dude
me: hahah no way bro that’s crazy. like, that’s totally bogus, dude.
Hey!
Today is the friggin day! Risk of Rain 2 launches on Steam, in Early Access right now!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/632360/Risk_of_Rain_2/
For those of you that are new here, the team and I have been working on Risk of Rain 2 for almost 3 years. It’s a co-op, roguelike, 3rd-person action game packed with content.
As a big “Thank you” to all our fan, we are running a big “Buy One Get One Free” sale for the first 48 hours on Steam. Buying a copy grants another coupon for a free copy to give to a friend - we wanted to make sure as many people as possible could get into the game and play with their! This offer expires on March 30th at 12PM PST.
Also as many of you have (now) learned, we have partnered up with Gearbox Publishing to make RoR2 the biggest and best version of Risk of Rain possible. Gearbox has contributed greatly to helping market the game, designing community outreach, and guaraneeting that the game is as stable as possible on launch. We’re really excited with this partnership and hope you are too! For those concerned, don’t worry: RoR2 is entirely created, designed, and written by the Hopoo Team. You will get an authentic Risk of Rain experience.
We are planning on doing a lot of community engagement through our Official Discord. Join us and be up-to-date on the lastest patches, news, content adds, and chat with other players and developers. This Discord will act as our main hub for communicating with players as well as gathering feedback during Early Access. Come join us HERE!
If Discord isn’t your thing feel free to follow Risk of Rain 2 on our Twitter or Facebook to stay up-to-date on the game.
Last but not least, we wanted to highlight our Composer Chris Christodoulou for all of his amazing work on the OSTs for Risk of Rain, DEADBOLT, and now Risk of Rain 2. Check out his bandcamp page right HERE for the Early Access version of the OST, available now!
Again, thank you to all of the fans, players, friends, and family who have made our dreams possible over the last few years! We couldn’t have gotten this far without you - and this is just the beginning!
See you on the planet.

‘the oppression the irish faced proves racism against whites is real!’
a) thats xenophobia, not racism. the americans hated us because we were from ireland, not because we were fucking white lol.
b) learn the difference between ‘these people are from a different country, get them out of here’ and ‘these people are of a different race, get them out of here’
c) stop using us as a gotcha against black ppl, you racist shitbags
Smith said that Sarkeesian’s criticism of the first Dishonored made him defensive at first, but played a role in the way Arkane approached the way it wrote the women of Dishonored 2.
“Your comment,” Smith said. “Which I will always remember and I’ll take it to my grave is … ‘While Dishonored is a game that does many things very well, the roles it has for women are very narrow.’”
After hearing Sarkeesian’s criticisms, he said that it made him see the way Arkane depicted the women of Dishonored 1 in a new light. Here are his comments in full:
At first, you take some criticism and go, ‘Wait a minute,’ and then you look and it’s like, ‘Wow, every woman in Dishonored 1 is either a servant, a prostitute, a witch, a queen or a little girl. Or a mistress.’ We have a mistress also. You know, that was not an intentional choice.
So, when something like that pops up, you can get defensive if you want, or you can say, ‘Guys, let me just ask this: Did we mean that?’ And the answer is no, we did not mean that.
Would the game be worse if we took an action on [this criticism], or would the game be better? The game would be richer and more interesting … and we carried that over into Dishonored 2 and we’re very happy we did.
finally get to see a positive mention of Anita Sarkeesian without misogyny and abuse
i was talking with my brothers yesterday and we decided the best way to own a guy who takes off his shirt to fight you is to pick his shirt up and put it on
Hey American followers!
I know you don’t tend to reblog any politics of countries other than your own… but the Canadian Federal Election is going to be this year in October!
In Canada we don’t replace 1/3 of the government every couple of years, we replace every single seat. EVERYONE has to run for a seat all at the same time, through the whole nation. Party that gets the most votes? Their leader usually becomes the Prime Minister.
We need your help (And you can help by reblogging this too!)
Not enough information on Canadian politics and issues is circulated on tumblr. Despite there being a lot of Canadians, somehow most of us can go a whole year without seeing a post about Canada, even when we make a point about following Canadians.
The US election will be ramping up in the early primaries when Canada’s entire election happens (We don’t campaign very long and we have a LOT of rules about campaigning too).
Trudeau has failed us. Entirely. He is doing nothing about climate change, he’s chummy with Trump, he violates land treaties, he pushes pipelines through unceeded territory, he’s having our native peoples arrested for protesting this, he has not investigated the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, he’s been a HUGE fan of The Glass Cliff while calling himself a feminist, he has repeatedly broken promises including electoral reform (our system is actually not great! Maybe not as rigged as yours, but it badly favours the Liberal and Conservative parties!), and been over-all pretty bad for us. It’s especially infuriating that we see all of this and also you guys reblogging photo-op pieces of him going on about how great he is for going to pride and being cute (That’s actually not an indicator here when only one party leader hasn’t gone in like, 20 years).
We need the NDP or the Greens this year. We need them to have a loud voice at the very least. We need your help to do this. We need you to blog this time, for once, about an election that isn’t american. Our politics affect you too. We affect you as much as you affect us, we are neighbours and unless y’all invade us again some time soon, it’s not likely to change. Help us get someone better into office. Please, reblog posts about the Canadian Election when they start appearing in September/October.
This is super important. The kind of nasty, bigoted populism that’s come to rise in the USA has leeched up here too and they’re only getting bolder. I’ve never been a fan of the Conservative party but they’ve become particularly embedded with these kind of alt-right populist scumbags and they’re heavily relying both on the general lack of coverage of Canadian politics and masquerading as the old-style Conservatives to get elected. People will vote for them because most people (especially the older, more reliable voting base) only see the Liberals and Conservatives as viable parties so they will only vote for one of them, and people are pissed at Trudeau.
It really, really doesn’t bode well if Scheer gets elected in the Fall. Not for immigrants, or other marginalized communities, or the climate. And I’m no fan of Trudeau but as far as things to with relations to Trump, I can only imagine that Scheer would be infinitely worse. Those two controlling all of North America would be scary. This is honestly a terrifying time to be having an election the way that politics is going and we have few good options and are struggling with our own populist movement and a rise in hate and politically-motivated disinformation.
DON’T IGNORE THIS.
Also if any of you (Canadian or not) are looking to see more about Canadian politics on your dash, I highly recommend starting by following @allthecanadianpolitics (they’re left-wing but if you agree with this post I don’t think that’ll be an issue for you). There are blogs out there that do post about Canadian politics, they just tend to require a lot more searching to track down because tumblr is very saturated with American topics.
VOTING CONSERVATIVE WILL MAKE IT WORSE
CANADA IS NOT A TWO PARTY SYSTEM.
THERE ARE OPTIONS.
Here in NS a really common argument not to vote NDP is “the one time they got in they did a bad job.” I’m sorry, how many tries are you going to give the Conservatives and Liberals to do a worse job over and over again?
And as for all my fellow Indigenous Canadians: Trudeau rode in on the backs of a lot of our peoples votes, because a lot of us believed in his lies, and because we were desperate to get Harper out and he seemed the most likely option. But we can’t let this discourage us from voting again. Our ancestors went too long without the right for us to waste it.
And most of all:
today’s update
I forgot to mention, we update on Saturdays as well now so I figured I’d mention that just in case you missed the last page update.
