I’m stoked, the ARPG genre feels stale. Hopefully they keep up what seems to be engaging combat. No rest for the wicked is still in early access and D4/LE/POE1 have very unrewarding combat IMHO.

This can’t come soon enough.

I played it on launch with friends. It was an arpg with better combat than most and pretty great graphics. Those are ALL of the positive things I have to say about it. It was so buggy it was hard to play without crashing. We lost progression multiple times. The servers were atrocious, the first 6 hours of playtime were trying to log in and not crashing. We ended up refunding it obviously.

Unfortunately the ARPG genre is super stale right now and we were looking to support any project we could. No rest for the wicked is the best thing to come out in ages and it’s still got a ways to go in EA before I give it a proper play through.

Who the fuck reads the entire steam page? My friend says buy the game, the reviews say it’s great with friends, you go and buy the game not scan the steam page for predatory data hoarding policies.

I moved to Germany right when the D-ticket went into effect. I can’t imagine a more complicated solution that also costs more money. I commute to work a city over, I travel to small towns all the time to visit and explore.

I want to stay in Germany long term, and I hope the country continues to value public transit. Cars are a plague. I’m not thoroughly versed in the German train history but public transit should be free for everyone, a public utility, and paid for via taxes.

Our list of priorities should be public transit, ecological and healthy personal options like bikes, and then electric cars. Removing the D-ticket would be a step backwards.

Ya, that’s odd. I don’t know the specific regulations but wherever we draw a line it’s going to create edge cases that feel weird.

Land ownership is odd in my opinion as well.

What I really care about is the system we have now incentivizes increasing the cost of housing and that’s not how any society should be designed.

Ideally everyone owned the space they lived in, transferring ownership was as simple as finding someone else to move in, and the community invested into their own infrastructure at a more impactful rate than today.

I’d say each building counts, with rules that discourage things like “connecting” three buildings to make it classify as 1. An apartment complex with X number of flats is a lot to manage on its own, multiple more so. With that reasoning we want rules to limit the amount they own.

Are you asking about the difference between land and buildings? If that’s the distinction you’re attempting to clarify I mean rental properties. I didn’t clarify land rights in my original comment but they’d follow the same concept. A single entity can only own so much, with harsher restrictions towards renting. Land and what’s on it should be owned by those who use it.

If you mean the distinction between like a mall and it’s shops, I think additional barriers can be created around classifications of said properties. 4 homes, 2 apartment complexes, 1 massive shopping center. That sorta thing.

1. Individuals can own a maximum of two properties.
2. Corporations can own a maximum of X rental properties (enough to allow a dedicated team to find a career servicing them, maintaining them, etc but not many past that point - I’d like wager in the low single digits).

This discourages using housing as a financial asset past owning where you live. This alone should reduce the cost of housing significantly. Housing gets cheaper, more people have housing.

3. Create programs where people or cities can get stable, low cost loans from the government to construct housing ranging from detached single family homes to high density apartment complexes.

4. If you live somewhere with restrictive zoning laws, revise them for the modern age.

This should allow communities to solve their own housing issues via lowering the financial burden of various solutions.

5. Continue to offer free shelter for homeless who want it and need a place to get back on their feet, provide amenities that make that transition easier.

6. Create a research task force to determine any other causes of homelessness and propose solutions. I’d wager: legalizing most drugs, forced mental rehabilitation, and sunset laws for criminal records would get rid of the rest.
