As a non antag I would've been okay with it as long as you didn't make a habit out of it. Maybe even mess with you if it got annoying but you would also expect to be lynched a...

Re: Deltarune Chapter 2

I liked it. Pretty nasty cliffhanger once again, can't wait to wait another 3-4 years for the next three chapters

I'm also surprised Toby re-added pacifist and genocide routes. Ch1 gave the impression it was going to be less about that.

Secret boss was also considerably easier this time.

Chimera Squad is Bite-sized XCOM. Smaller in scale with quicker missions, Chimera Squad is a neat little spin-off with great world-building. Most of the combat is in quick and small bursts as your squad preforms breaches to clear the area room-by-room. It's more close-quarters, and the maps are comp...

Greytide was a term coined when an update caused everyone's job preferences to reset so something like 90% of the server joined as assistants, when Primary Tool Storage was the spawn point for every assistant so a riot started almost immediately.

They say it will be easier to approach and learn, but they are trying not to remove any depth. Things like a better tutorial and UI

What's likely is for that to be true, at least on launch. Once the expansions pile up it will become the wonderful complicated mess we love in their other games.
