This is great! Such solid content.
I am also so incredibly disappointed in switch 2 news. We have a steam deck, so it won’t be too missed. I don’t think I’d be able to resist, though, if it were in my face every day like that. Good luck!
I picked up death stranding free giveaway recently and am waiting for the summer to dive in. Pretty stoked for it.
Right now, been playing marvel rivals with my kids. It’s a blast, and my daughter is a marvel nerd.
The part that got me the most was when he was complaining about his gear (some of the very best gear in the game) “this helmet is only level 52, even though I’m level 96”. Those were equip levels, not power levels… One of his items he dismissed as not good was the one you get from the final boss. There’s no room for “allegedly” with that part.
Elon did a live stream playing the new Path of Exile game. His character was one of the top 20 ranked in the game. He has bragged about being the best on several games. Anyway, it was obvious to everyone watching that he knew very little about how the game actually worked. He finally confessed this week that he pays other people play the character for him, but also claimed that all the top players do it.
What’s sad is how true this is. Companies enshitify once they have a solid hold on the market. But if they start to slip in numbers, do they ever deshitify to regain trust and users? Fuck no, they triple down on the enshitification to make one last cash grab as they prepare to abandon ship with life preservers full of bonuses for themselves
I didn’t judge anyone.
Sorry I threw out a hyperbolic number to a future time for a conversational thought experiment, despite it being rationally accurate. Someone else shared some data that yes, most deaths are not gamers. 3/4 of deaths are old age over the age of 65, and 6% of people over the age of 65 play video games. But that doesn’t matter. I said you were being judgmental about me as a person for some reason and that wasn’t called for.
I think the opposite, if you want to adjust your jumping to judgemental conclusions. I’m old and social. I grew up in a place where nobody gamed or had computers.
Nearly all of the close people in my life did not/do not game. My circle is outdoorsy or go out somewhere people I guess. We have kids and families and precious little free time. I’ve never had friends come over to game or however that goes. I guess I could seek out people who want to game with me, but if someone has free time at the same time as I do, we’d rather do something else.
Hope this broadens your perspective of people.
Are you imagining that this game should be like those constantly updating online games that rely on micro transactions or monthly subscription? It was a game to buy full price, but got updates and events for free for 2 years plus DLCs. The servers and game will still be online getting quality of life and security updates. Splatoon 1 servers were online for 9 years… On Wii U no less.
Nobody told me, either. I just sort by Top-All. It was the top story on any gaming site for weeks. My son was also excited about this too, even he’d heard about it. It’s a cool story.
Yes, I took offense on the part of the people who I saw reacting very frustrated after they’d tried the level for hours without TAS. And it upset me his response wasn’t more apologetic. Team 0% having to include a statement not to attack him and keep the peace seems like I’m probably not the only one.
In all, though, that was my interpretation. I’ve never talked with anyone in 0% or Ahoyo. Maybe in Ahoyo talk, that’s a good apology.
But there was a level entry form. So he entered it, but then disqualified it? Or someone else entered it on his behalf?
This is why I asked, I wasn’t sure what exactly happened. I read multiple other articles (I didn’t come up with using ‘faked’ to describe it). There’s a difference using TAS vs using TAS but letting everyone believe that you didn’t for 6 years.
THH was gaming news for two weeks before he came clean. If he hadn’t heard the news, he still should be way more apologetic to all the people who wasted their time
