What the hell has happened with Mechanicus 2?

I log in, go to the game page, and it has negative, and more recently, overwhelmingly negative reviews? Whats the lore here?

Im not asking if i should or should not buy the game. I have already bought it months ago despite not having played it (i was... Busy) because i like supporting studios i like.

But it seems like this time around the game failed? What about the OST? Not even that deserves a like?

Oh well, I'll get to it once i have something that can actually play it. Game crashes on my Steam Deck.

Guys, why are we discussing anything when this fucker is coming in?

Like, dont mind me, this is a free country. Reddit's nature induces to have discussions and debate over everything and anything. It' entertaining to see what is the best metroidvania from this year.

I'm with you. I don't like GTA. I prefer to see a minor studio getting the W again. I dont even have software to play this either way.

But... it' GTA 6.

Geoff will find a way to put it in line for the GOTY. The actual question is wether or not Geoff will find a way to put GTA 6 in TWO consecutive GOTY awards so it can win more gotys than Baldurs Gate 3 and Expedition 33.

My copium is, getting a nomination is reward enough because it makes people wonder "Huh, this weird friendslop game that is going toe to toe with GTA 6 sure looks fun!" and get hooked to play it.

I hate Rockstar with all of my soul, since the bottom of my hearth, but too much money has been thrown into this motherfuckerfor it to fail at anything.

Ratpost 294 in two weeks!

Rat's outta the bag! I've been working and working a lot on ratpot 294 as the big sinking effort ratpost to give to the community.

What is this? A video, duh! But not any video that ive been doing: a whole ass fucking monter on which ive been sinking a bare minimum of 8 daily hours to be pulling off. And its not even half done! As I said: it's a monster. (it'ss so big that i dont even know how long will it take for reddit to digest it. I will upload it into my youtube channel as well, so i might have to put the youtube link? Reddit sucks when uploading long videos)

Title might give away the thematic, but im gonna keep the truth to myself. ive been teasing it a bit on my profile cos im a bitch, but I'll try my hardest to not reveal it earlier. Just one clue: all of the 4 characters on the poster will be there! Um, i wonder who are that strange moon thing in the top left and that weird looking skaven in the top right?

And, you, brave guy who i actually reading the text, NO, this isn't the latest ratpost. I will keep any info about it as an absolute top secret.

Also, Im sorry for spamming! However, I've been working my ass whole days for a while now on this, so i wanted to beware you of the big reckoning coming in two weeks. And it kinda make me want to work even harder, tbh?

See you there!

Day 279 of ratposting until Thanquol dlc comes out

Yes, smart guy who is already furiously typing in the comments, i know Lurklox isnt a warbringer. But he isn't the first verminlord Skarsnik meets, huh?

Anyways, the ruler of Eight Peaks would want you to download the unit cards here!

He also orders you to participate on the Paintposting contest!

Day 275 of ratposting until Thanquol dlc comes out

Well, work on ratpost 294 has finally started, so budget for the average ratpost might lower down. Sorry!

In exchange: VERMINLORD WEEK STARTS! Not putting it into the art cos last time I did it it fumbled (or the jokes weren't very good?).

Day 270 of ratposting until Thanquol dlc comes out

Ok, so, in case you haven't noticed, the ratposter unit cards mod is here! You can go and download it clicking here.

Ah, but it wouldn't really be a ratpost without the mandatory Paintposting Contest reference! You can read more details here! You can also follow how the contest is currently doing here.

(and before someone asks: i was gonna draw a crowd of skaven there, but then I realised it wouldn't be lore acurate for the entire skavenblight to flee wherever Thanquol shows up after Thanquol's Doom)

(Funnily enough, this is like the 3rd or 4th Baki meme I do without having read or watched Baki...)

The Ratposter Unit Cards mod is finally here!!!!!

You guys don't know how excited I'm for this! Here it is! Yes, it's me, Ratposting Guy! After one month and 150+ hours of hard work, I've finished the unit cards mod! This was a hard one to pull out, damn.

What this mod does is to change the skaven unit cards in game for ones done by totally by me. Believe it or not, I was asked to do this a lot for a long while! Little old me!

However, be warned, this is a WIP project! I might update it later down the line, mostly to add loading screens, and the new dlc units when they land.

Also, great thanks to All is Dust from the Skeleton Crew modding team for his great help and patience during the whole process! Wiithout him this wouldn't be posible.

Hope you guys enjoy it! This is my personal gift to the community.

In cae you missed it: you can go to the mod page to download it by clicking here.

Day 268 of ratposting until Thanquol dlc comes out

Well, there it is! It's been 25 days since this started a month ago, but I'm now finally done with the unit cards! Now it's only the verminlords left, but Im afraid we still dont have their full non-interface cards, and Im already asuming those wont be available until the dlc releases. It's been SIXTY FOUR (64) unit cards!!!!!!!!

Now starts the long process of searching for a modder, and put these into the game. When the final mod i ready, I'll warn it here with either a ratpost, or a separate post (i dont like using recycled aart on ratposts). Either way, it will 100% be out before the End Times dlc releases!

You know what i also long? The Paintposting Contest which i still going on! You can read more details here! You can also follow how the contest is currently doing here.
