It’s been a minute but i think i know what might be bugging you about the controls. If it’s the having to move and look with the same control, check the settings. There might be a way to adjust it.

As for other options…

-The Farming Simulator games are great for controller.

Looking on steam cross-referencing ‘casual’ and ‘good for steam deck’ is probably a good way to find some more.

I think this is the fourth comic from this artist I’ve seen in the last day or so. The art is always on point. The jokes… really put the focus on the artist’s talent for visual art.

The gorillas disappear after 1d12 rounds. This effect ‘echoes’ 1d6 times, effectively recasting the spell after 1d6 rounds.

The movie Incubus is entirely in a constructed language.

The game Chants of Senaar is built around languages you slowly translate/‘learn.’

And if you really need to wake up, this sound effect can be very effective

I have been working on a scenario setup based on a previous posting of this idea. MLM, multi-level magicking. Boil-down is that the party is a group of newbie mages (warlocks in DnD terms) at one or more of the local ‘Mages guilds,’ (which guild is determined by subclass) organizations which send out Mages to ‘help’ in one way or another. Some of the work is paid, but plenty of it is pro bono publica. The guilds have a great reputation because of the pro bono work, so PCs start with a very high-fantasy power rangers feel, but they got their powers by entering a magical loyalty contract to their ‘Mentor,’ and some of the jobs they get sent on will seem kind of ‘…off’ compared to the others, and they find out the only way to become more powerful (literally to gain levels, XP is meaningless/capped) is to find their Mentor’s Mentor and take their Mentor’s place, removing their Mentor’s power, which their mentor doesn’t want. So the party slowly gets to see that only the sneakiest, most conniving and underhanded Mages are able to advance, but now they have to either advance, or quit and become commoners.

Welcome to the Tremere.

You don’t have to share your details but could I ask what yph mean more specifically by ‘wearing certain clothes and helping people?’

State capitalism is closer to communism than crony capitalism seen elsewhere.

I mean, manipulating people is technically a ‘function’ to which one can apply clothing. It’s not a good one, but it is a function.

Your dad.

I’m imagining a scenario where the local power has a dungeon awakening near town, and they’ve heard of other Mayors who sent a crew down with a rogue on parole, but is more of a ‘if one pregnant woman births the child in 9 months, two pregnant women can do it in 4.5 months’ type thinker, so he packs anyone with a bit of a criminal record into wagons, dumps them all into the dungeon and throws in a bag of knives and tells them they can leave when they defeat the great evil. The PCs are the party who he meets and sends in later because this necromancer problem just hasn’t gone away like he hoped.

That’s kind of why I think ‘country’ and ‘communist’ are not really compatible. I don’t think it is possible to have a faithful execution of communism at the scale of an area like China. They’re obviously closer to communism than some places but also just as obviously not there.

One way to look at this is the concepts ‘communism’ and ‘country’ don’t really work together. The modern nation-state requires a level of bureaucracy and scaling that is not really compatible with communistic ideals of egalite. It should also be noted that there isn’t really a completely anything country. China calls itself communist but uses capitalist elements. America is arguably the most anti-communist country but uses plenty of centralized regulation and subsidies. And each has a subset that is deeply in favour of more or less of each of these elements. The idea of having anything ideologically pure is the real childish notion here.

Morally? No.

Legally? Be careful. Some places have allowances in laws to permit relationships between closely aged young people, even if one is technically a minor. Some places do not. Check your local laws. If it’s not explicitly laid out as an exception, a bad breakup, a bad parent, or even an unlucky encounter with a nosy cop can seriously damage your life.
