One of the things that I love to see in hive city art is the recognition that even the large, open spaces are all indoors. Pillars of incredible girth uphold the vaults, above, and the conurbation stacked thereupon. You could live your entire life in the literal strata of your social station and never know a world beyond it.

Even the comparatively nice places are an overbuilt megalopolitan horror. Darktide has been exceptional in this regard, and continues to deliver.

MULTIMUSE MEME: Send a ⭐ and I will list muses I would be interested in throwing at yours

Definitely, I would be down for interacting with my Thousand Sons sorcerer. Aiding the Nurgle Cult in Hive City Tertium could be part of a broader scheme or he could just be looking for psykers---which your character happens to be

Alternatively, we could have a sort of "uneasy alliance" or "enemy of my enemy" dynamic with my Keeper of Secrets. Nurgle and his filth offend Slaanesh and because mortals are less to debauch themselves if they're infected or busy trying to contain a plague, he would want to get rid of the competition

Not expecting this to get any notes, this is more for myself cus I'm bored

Foehn-Amicus: Reject. Vanguard. Redeemer.

Born on Incron, Foehn-Amicus would have lived a life of drudgery of a filtration worker had her life not been changed by the arrival of the Lunar Class Cruiser Tempest. Fresh from the Fringe War, the ship was in need of crew replenishment and Foehn was one of many to be press ganged into service upon the Tempest, the incident leaving her an orphan when her parents resisted. Alone and ripped away from home, Foehn found not much change in her life, simply trading the dragging of algae tanks to the lugging of munitions. But, fortune found Foehn and she caught the attention of a veteran voidsmen who found potential in her steely gaze. Trained alongside other aspirants, Foehn was inducted into the Voidsmen of the Tempest at the tender age of 17. It was here she honed her sense of command and discipline. She quickly rose through to a squad leader at only 23, an inspiring and imposing presence. Her life changed when the Tempest returned to Incron to restock. She had run afoul with a noble of moderate standing whom she assaulted after they had made a comment upon the Fringe War. The incident led to a charge of insubordination that saw her rank, and even place on the Tempest stripped away from her. She was picked up by the Tancred Bastion on route to a penal colony. Of course, this is what started her path to becoming a Reject. Though in the beginning she attempted to portray herself with the same aura of command as her service with the Voidsmen, she quickly found the hive of Tertium to be a much different battleground. The commanding presence painted her a target, to both the heretics looking to knock her lights out and a specific few of her fellow rejects. She found herself changing strategy, keeping her fellow rejects in the fight was more important than the minutia of how they did it. When she had finally cleared her name and officially joined Inquisitor Grenyl's warband, she was a unique kind of squad leader. Often she would slip into the shadows of the hive to either execute a priority target or give a hand to a fallen comrade, before leading the charge as the vanguard to her squad. Though some of her fellow veterans rib her for her straight laced tendencies, and she gets into more than a few fights with the preachers, Foehn-Amicus is both the blazing vanguard of the emperor and the helping hand to the martyrs of another day.

The civilian and paramilitary arm of the insurrection on Atoma Prime, the Dregs of the Cult of Admonition work tirelessly to spread the worship of the Ruinous Powers. They add an intelligent brain to the gibbering, maddened hordes of Poxwalkers, and ensure the armed forces of the Moebian Sixth can focus all of their forces on the destruction of the Imperium in Hive Tertium. #warhammer40000darktide #darktide #moebiansixth #cultofadmonition #forthesixth #warhammerkitbashing #paintingwarhammer #paintingwarhammer40k #chaoscultists #imperialismilitia #imperialguard #traitorguard #astramilitarum #warpcults #ageofdarkness #horusheresy #hobbystreak #hobbystreakday337 (at Wakefield) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj1Pu3_tmDu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Warhammer 40k: Darktide’s Inquisitor Explains Her Mission

If you played the Warhammer 40k: Darktide beta (or read my enthusiastic impressions from my hands-on demo during Summer Games Fest), you already know that it's a brutal first-person cooperative game about exploring the metallic depths beneath a sizable Imperium hive city and eradicating the forces of Chaos. The inquisitor who will be making the decisions in Warhammer 40k: Darktide is introduced in the most recent teaser, and she briefly discusses the issues at hand. As the Inquisitor explains in the new trailer, this is Warhammer 40k, which means everybody and everything in the known universe is dedicated to waging total war across the galaxy. Every human soul is bound up in one way or another to the service of the god-emperor of mankind, and massive capital ships ferry devastating armies of space marines around to light things up if something looks at them funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0Z53bk4lvc As writer Dan Abnett explained to us, though, the battles you’ll be fighting in Darktide aren’t part of these sweeping offensives. Instead, the inquisitor – “a very totalitarian detective,” as Abnett put it to us – is charged with finding the tendrils of Chaos beneath the Hive City of Tertium. “Our war is not one of battlefields and fleet engagements,” she says. “It is waged by the dedicated agents of the Imperial Inquisition. It is fought in the cities and hives of the Imperium – in the backstreets, and the forgotten sublevels, in Hive Cities like Tertium. For if the Inquisition fails – if we fail – the Imperium falls with us.” The Warhammer 40k: Darktide release date is coming right up. It’s set to launch November 30, but you can play as early as November 17 if you preorder. Read the full article

Warhammer 40000: Darktide is due to bring the horde to Linux?

Warhammer 40000: Darktide FPS game is due to hit the Linux Steam Deck with Windows PC. Which is once thanks to the work and effort of developer Fatshark. Due to make its debut on Steam later this month. Indie developer Fatshark, last month, worked their way through a three-day beta. So that the players can get their hands on the award-winning 4-player co-op game Warhammer 40000: Darktide. Adding more players in throughout that weekend. Along with a launch due to arrive on November 30th. On top of this good news and development, it seems there is a Steam Deck focus.

As for an update on Steam deck, all signs point to it working at the moment. Not massively performant, but works.

You can see this comment in the Steam forum for yourself. Since Proton support does work for the game, there is a performance hit. Which means that the developers are paying attention. Leading one to believe there is indeed a focus on SOME kind of Linux support for Warhammer 40000: Darktide, a first, via the Stingray engine. Built on the legacy of Vermintide 2’s best in class melee combat. Warhammer 40000: Darktide brings in an intense WH40K gunplay to the mix. Master the balance between ranged and melee combat. Doing so as you fight through a slew of enemies. Feel the impact of each swipe, swing, and slice of a chainsword. You can also fry some flesh with a last gun too.

Warhammer 40,0000: Darktide releases in 2021.

The Tea Times - July 2020

Well, that’s July over and done- wait, what? July is over? It’s almost August?! Whoa, whoa, whoa. If we keep going on like this I’ll be writing the Christmas article before I know what’s what. I wonder if it’s the heat, as God certainly turned up the Thermostat. Still, the troubles of the year are still carrying on so I hope everyone’s keeping safe. Things are starting to open up again but remember that no amount of alcohol or haircuts are worth more than your health.

On the game side of things, there have been quite a few announcements and interesting releases this month, spurred on by a few Expos. Let’s delve in, shall we?

At a Glance

Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise, Ghost of Tsushima, SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE, Paper Mario: The Origami King and Carrion released.

Far Cry 6, Manor Lords, Shadow Warrior 3, The Outer Worlds - Perils in Gorgon, Fable, S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, Avowed and Warhammer 40,000: Darktide announced.

Rocket League is taking off the price tag!

No Man’s Sky gets another update!

The Releases

Anyone who knows me will know that I was super pumped for Deadly Premonition 2. The initial buzz has been good so far, save for the colossal frame rate issues that have kept me from actually booting it up. Either way, patches are coming through to fix that, so I’ll hopefully be able to hit on the wonderfully surreal, tightened up bandwagon soon. For those interested, Deadly Premonition 2 came out on the Switch on July 10th.

For the more Samurai inclined, Ghost of Tsushima has been making waves. While I’ve heard opinions all over the place about it, it seems on the whole to be positive. The combat seems to get the most praise, while the open world is probably the most divisive. Either way, I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look pretty. Sadly a PlayStation 4 exclusive but if you own one, then you should know that Ghosts of Tsushima came out on July 17th.

If you prefer your combat to vary wildly in speed then you’ll probably be interested in SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE. The combat has been nicely refined too, with upgrades such as throwing weapons. In a rare instance, I’ve actually been on the ball with this one and reviewed it already. My feelings are mixed but it’s worth playing if you’re a fan of the original. MIND CONTROL DELETE, the third in the series incidentally, came out on July 16th.

On the lighter side of things, there’s Paper Mario: The Origami King. This one I’m actually in the middle of playing through and I’m enjoying it so far. The origami aesthetic is lovely and the world looks gorgeous. The combat is… divisive but it feels closer to the original than Sticker Star, so there’s that. I’ll give out my full thoughts when I’ve beaten it but so far, pretty positive! If you’re interested, it was released on July 17th.

If you’re in the market for something a bit more… icky, then you’ll be interested in Carrion. Billed as a ‘reverse’ horror game, Carrion puts you in control of a strange monster, as opposed to the angry scientist we usually play as. Your job is to go around and disembowel all the people that poked and prodded you. And their friends and relatives, probably. Apparently it can also disguise itself as human, in case you needed more nightmares. If a lack of gore is a bore, then Carrion came out on July 23rd.

The Announcements

Let’s start with one that we pretty much knew was around the corner: Far Cry 6. Quite a few videos have been released about it now in something of snowball effect. The original trailer won me over solely because it featured Giancarlo Esposito. A fantastic actor with a great voice. Far Cry 6 is set in the Cuba inspired island of Yara and, for a while, it looked like we might play as the son of this season’s dictator. Instead it seems we play as a revolutionary. Ah well. Far Cry 6 is slated to be released on February 18th 2021.

For a completely different pace, if you’re a city builder lover then you might want to look into Manor Lords. Of course, the pace does pick up a bit when you get into battles, which are large scale and depend on formations and strategy and all of those other difficult things. Above all, Manor Lords strives for medieval realism, which usually means a lot of hard work and horrible diseases. If that’s your thing, then Manor Lords should be coming to Steam Early Access in the Autumn.

If you don’t like realism and much prefer crude jokes about dicks then Shadow Warrior 3 sounds like your cup of tea. It looks very exciting, full of fluid moments and slicing people up with katanas. The original Shadow Warrior had very sexy and exciting combat and that seems to have been nicely ramped up. The sense of humour may be a little… divisive… but if you can stomach the jokes then Shadow Warrior 3 will be out next year.

Now for one that got my heart pumping. You may remember that I enjoyed my time with The Outer Worlds. A few rough edges of course but I was left hungry for more. Seems we’re getting a second helping with the Peril on Gorgon DLC, which has us exploring an asteroid for interesting secrets. There are new characters and new weapons, like the weird spiky thing. It should be out on September 9th this year. Can’t wait!

Fable was an unexpected one. Watching the trailer, you might be forgiven for thinking it has nothing to do with the original Lionhead series but it does. It looks to be a reboot essentially, though not too many details have come out. The trailer sets up a magical fantasy land and then ends with something of a dark tone. There’s scanty details otherwise, but it looks like guns have been given the boot and Albion has been obliterated by an asteroid. The original developers aren’t connected to this one, by the way, which is quite sad really. No release date as yet.

Another unexpected, but equally exciting announcement, is S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, which is of course the fourth entry in the series. A series set in post-meltdown Chernobyl, inspired by the film of the same name which is in turn inspired by the book Roadside Picnic, which is worth a read. The Zone is full of anomalies, mutants and guitar playing nomads. Good stuff and now in higher definition. If you fancy a fourth trip into the Zone then I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until next year.

For the second Obsidian entry on this list, we have Avowed. This seems to be Obsidian’s take on the first person high-fantasy genre, which is currently dominated by the Elder Scrolls. Not too much is given away in the trailer, other than a few story notes and the fact that it’s first person with a sword in one hand and magic in the other. A lot of other things have been ‘leaked’, including the fact that it’s possibly linked to Pillars of Eternity, but for now I’m keeping my eyes open. No release date as yet.

Any fans of Vermintide out there? Want that gameplay but more grimdark and set miles in the future? If so, then Warhammer 40,000: Darktide should be up your street. You and your Imperial Guard chums have been set the mission of rooting out Chaos in the hive city of Tertium. I don’t know too much about 40k but I do know that the Imperial Guard don’t have the best survival rates so it looks like I’ll be unintentionally roleplaying when I play. If you’re interested then it’ll be out next year.

Free Footie

In an unexpected twist of events, Rocket League has gone free to play. I’m not entirely sure why, as it was always a pretty popular game but perhaps things are waning. I don’t mind that it’ll be free, to be honest, as I love Rocket League and this may attract some more casual players. I suck at football in real life and my car football isn’t much better, let’s be honest. This move to free-to-play is also coinciding with a launch on the Epic Games Store, though it’ll still be on Steam so no worries there.

Players who bought the game before it went free-to-play will get legacy status which comes with quite a few goodies, such as free access to DLCs and a lot of upgraded cosmetic items. Your inventory also won’t be affected by the move, so don’t worry about that. You may have to worry about the influx of players though, if you’re the type of person that doesn’t like new players. Ah well!

No Man’s Sky Gets Desolated

I’m not going to lie, when I saw a few images of No Man’s Sky’s Desolation update I thought I was looking at an image of Dead Space. It looks like a very exciting update because the focus has been made a little smaller. The biggest thing this update brings in is derelict freighters. These interiors are procedurally generated, each with their own little stories. It’s a smaller, tighter experience than traipsing over a planet and it looks, at times, genuinely unnerving.

Not only do you have to deal with the freighter security systems, that probably won’t take too kindly to a stranger wandering around, you also have to deal with the weird infestations that have taken over. Hope you like shooting monstrous creatures with a tool made for cutting things. Maybe my first impressions were right after all, huh?

That’s all for July, see you in August!
