What are the best Independent Studios in your opinion in c/games

You are correct. I guess Annapurna can be considered a "publisher with good taste".

Annapurna Interactive (outer wilds, what remains of Edith Finch).

They are not separate and that is the problem. That separates "crony capitalism" or "corporationism" from "free market capitalism".

Either way, the critique is to be addressed to the legislature. It is the government that ultimately allows for such pathological situation to exist.

Are almost all mobile games bad? in c/games

[–] Malachiasz 3 points 1 year ago

Depending on your prefered format, patience and number of games you play it can be actually free or it can cost you thousands od dollars.

I spent around 20 dollars since I started playing in 2019. I have practically all cards for standard format i want to use + bank of gems and gold to purchase new set when it comes out in September.

Magic the gathering Arena is on mobile and it is basically PC port of the game. Highly recommend if you are into collectible card games.

Mechanics aside, what do you imagine Weapon Strength, Toughness, Save Value and Wounds representing conceptually? (self.warhammer40k)

For me it is:

Save value: hardness of the first layer of armor of a unit

Toughness: Amount/Mass of non-critical part of the unit that can be damaged without impacting the unit much

Wounds: Amount of critical parts/vital organs of a unit that can be damaged while the unit still lives/operates

Armour Penetration: Ability to break this initial layer of armor (sharpness of the blade or pointiness of the bullet)

Strength: Ability to penetrate/spread through general mass of the shot unit (overall energy of the shot/blow)

Damage: Potential of damaging critical parts/vital organs of a unit (shape of the blade/bullet)

Examples:

Hollowpoint bullet and Armor Piercing bullet could have the same energy (mass x speed) but Hollowpoint has lower AP but higher Damage while Armor Piercing has lower damage but higher AP

A Rabbit and a Bear would have similar Save Value (skin covered only by fur) but Bear would have much greater toughness (a bullet must travel through more bear body to reach organs) and possibly more wounds since a one bullet could damage multiple critical organs of a rabbit but less likely bear
