Spooky bought everyone it, but we have not gotten around to it
zomboid is not a phijkchu group activity, it is a subset of phijkchu group activity
you gotta bring that up with the nwrd people
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak you gotta bring that up with the nwrd people
Its so over 😔
Replying to taxes #tzfi @Spooky Phijkchu are you playing pathologic 3
I got the email it came out today
Was not expecting it
Or rather, had forgotten
I bought it so it's on the Steam Family
No, it's the physicians route
But it's also got all sorts of new mechanics
Was it?
It's been too long
Oh right
It's the red herring route
No it is
Until the last 3rd
Well
Sorta
Sorry was driving
Yeah I'll be interested wtf the dev is doing this time
Hopefully he doesn't kill himself with his new publisher
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Yeah I'll be interested wtf the dev is doing this time

Pathalogic L
I wonder how GDQ is doing
I can still tell with Pathologic 3 the dev wanted to be more ambitious and once again reigned himself in
I also sorta think re-doing the same (but different!) story again is kinda missing the point
For as much as I love Pathologic, I almost don't think it warrants the treatment it gets
A crazy Russian dude wrote a story in 2005 that can only really be enjoyed as a game
It's a much better way to do what he wanted
I think the story is better told this time too
the cool new mechanical re:zero layer is like one or two steps short of that WOAH feeling that would make it all worth it
and I can tell that's what he was going for, before he scaled it back
