Thought that was an onion type of article at first, lol.

Well that kind of gets to my second point of servers disappearing. Used to be you could find or create your own servers for your more casual players but most games these days have no such options.

IMO people act like it’s training wheels so they can get better, but it’s more like turning the game to easy and not having to face any challenging hurdles. When people go into a game on easier difficulties and then try to play it on a higher difficulty, they actually generally have a harder time than if they just played the game on the harder difficulty to begin with (with some exceptions). Players should be getting better by experience not algorithmically making them feel better by pitting them against other poor players. It worked just fine for a long time before the invention of SBMM, and servers used to do a lot of the filtering for us before that stopped being common (for absolutely no good reasons).

Sucks to suck, I’ll stick to my games: they cost less, aren’t full of microtransactions, aren’t just re-hashing the exact same thing every single year, and most importantly? They’re fun.

I don’t have a lot of experience, but the one 6 year old I’m around the most sure is obsessed with the PS5. I’m sure “Netflix” here means “rich board members” who typically know fuck all about their investments.

Windows 10 is creating a loophole that lets me skip installing Windows 11.

A Windows handheld would be terrible for me, I’d forget it was meant to be a gaming machine and fall into a pit of customizing it and then probably break it.

It’s exclusively used by kids and adults who think they’re still kids.

Oh and predators.

A bunch of people around me played Monopoly Go for like a month and then stopped. Everything I heard about it sounded like it was terrible and full of microtransactions. Never heard of Stumble Guys, but obviously from the name it’s just a ripoff of Fall Guys. Niantic has never made a good game, but they sure have made a fortune from microtransaction stores masquerading as games while collecting everyone’s location and other data.

You’re absolutely right, but unfortunately Hitler is in the white house and trying to ruin GPS for the entire planet.

I played Go for a day, still don’t understand how people played this for years.

I’ve just been calling them exactly that: vampire survivors like. It’s a mouthful, so I’m open to the alternatives.

That Gun

Then they wouldn’t have to make up the advertising costs with subtransactions (micro transactions doesn’t seem like the right word anymore when they cost over $5 a pop).

Chinese.

No, but thank you.

Oh. OH! I’m taking the bait. Bravo. I still think you’re retarded for being a troll on the Internet when there’s so much else you could be doing, but good job rustling my jimmies.

God damn. That’s honestly one of the dumbest fucking takes I’ve seen, and we’re living in Trump 2.0. You’re impressively unintelligent.

So just to be clear, you think it’s crazy that I know a name from the article? That’s what you’re saying? Definitely retarded.

Really? Fair enough, I don’t recall there being any options to romance anyone when I played, but I must have just missed it. I remember the forced gay scene, which, like, fine, but I’m not gay, so it would have been cool to get at least one chance with a girl, lol, but it never seemed to come up no matter what I did with female companions in tow.

Absolutely.

And a major disappointment you couldn’t romance in Cyberpunk and the romance in Outer Worlds felt so half assed. Romance can be a great part of a game.

Actually. Sometimes it is. The actual problem is that you’re trying to figure it out at all. If you’re trying to engineer the perfect product, it will always be a shit game. Good games come from passionate developers who have an idea, not from board meetings and focus groups.

You didn’t answer my question, just downvoted. Are you retarded? You’d have to be to leave that comment in reply to mine on this thread.

Are you retarded? Honestly I don’t even want to expand on that, are you retarded??

Vertex explosions is specifically the issue that was making it unplayable for me, I’m going to have to find this mod now! Thanks!

Nah. RTX 3060 and Ryzen 3600X.

Same build then. :( Maybe the facial animations mod will help me.

I didn’t get far enough to speak on direction of the game, and while I liked the colors and aesthetic, it’s hard to look past the intense blurring effects that make it look like the game is being played through a smear of petroleum jelly.

I have 60 FPS, didn’t know about disable facial animations and I don’t have an Intel CPU. What version of shad did you use?

Interesting. From what little I’ve played it felt like the same formula. They all play relatively similar. What turned you off most?

Which emu? I tried on Shad literally a week ago and it was too buggy to play. And what settings do you use?

And yet, the games which would make them a fortune will never even be considered. Where’s Bloodborne? MGS4? Sony remains dumb.

What? This is Trump levels of nonsensical.

Impossible at this point. I’m not even remotely joking when I say I have never seen a more powerful misinformation campaign in my entire life, for anything political even, as I did for brainwashing the masses into believing that NFT = JPEG. Literally almost every human you will encounter knows the term NFT and thinks as a fact that it’s just another image file type, but in particular one that was heavily memed and morons/criminals moved incredible sums of money over. They don’t understand that a lot of the extremely high dollar NFT sales are just money laundering or other criminal loopholes, they just think really rich people are paying millions for monkey pictures. It’s the most lost cause of anything. You might as well try convincing the world that religion isn’t real; right as you may be, it’s impossible to accomplish.

Cooooooope.

Cooooooope. 🤣

I don’t think you read my comment before you decided to respond to what you thought it said.

Same same same same same.

Yeah, it’s an embarrassment I have to live with forever. The person who got me and my friends into it doesn’t talk to my group anymore and I think it’s out of shame. I, in turn, feel shame not only for my part in participation in the market, but for convincing others to buy shares as well.

Fucking thing sucks, I want my money back Ryan, you cock.

Copium. Gimp is more akin to MS Paint than Photoshop.
