Yeeeah… I’m coming in to this situation cold, aside from seeing King of Kong years ago. Billy is without question an asshole, but saying he was happy about a suicide AND that the suicide was linked to his lawsuit, are both pretty clear cut examples of defamation.

I’m suprised and a lil’ confused why you would share this story in response. Respectfully, it feels like you’re shifting blame. Like, okay, sure, It’s your sister’s birthdays fault you gave money to a terf.

I mean, you do you but if the trans persecution isn’t a deal breaker when it comes to something so basic as media choices. Then, whatever. Own it.

Glad that the term “exclusive” expires, pre-ordering to get something is a FOMO that I personally don’t find enticing, but understand from a business stand point. But over time it just becomes silly to arbitrarily block existing content for players that purchased YEARS after release.

I’ve been watching Severance and thinking about Control lately, might be time for a replay.

Awww, people are realizing a Nazi salute has consequences. Good for him!

Like all billionaires, Elon can (unfortunately) do whatever the fuck he wants and he will be okay. If your boss isn’t fasscy then you’re gonna get wrecked.

Please stop giving money to bigots. You’re directly funding the legislation against a minority group.

I just asked it to show me every video game magazine in our collection in chronological order that says “Metroidvania.”

That example is impressive. Sorta doubt I personally will use this much, but I am sure that content creators I already enjoy sure will!

Well neat! That’s exactly what I was hoping to hear! Thank ya, I’ll pick it up.

I’ve been keeping my eye on it ever since I saw the super cute release trailer. How worthwhile is it? What games is it simmiliar to?

I’m not totally sure I agree, my wife and I just played through BL 2 and laughed most of the way. Just as we both seperately did a decade-ish prior. The humor itself didn’t age poorly, just BL3 and Presequal.

My wife and I each 100%'d Talos 2 and it was abundantly amazing. It had been years since either of us completed 1 but the way the story is structured you hear about the events of the first game in detail pretty regularly. I’m trying to be vague for spoilers. And of course I’m not trying to talk out of replaying 1, but just know you don’t have to, understand 2, and in my opinion it might be a touch tedious to do them back to back.

Both fantastic games tho that started a lot of good conversations between us.

Oh shit.

I’m dumb, that was totally it. I toggled it off and see the black text. Good call. lol

I know many people are excited to play Haunted Chocolatier, and may be disappointed to hear that it will still take a while, or that I took time away to work on Stardew Valley. I understand. I will be very happy when the day comes that I can finally release Haunted Chocolatier. However, as with Stardew Valley, I will not be doing any “early access”, crowdfunding, or pre-orders, so I don’t feel a ton of external pressure to finish the game on a timeline.

Bless you ape, take as long as you need. Quality takes time and you have long past proven you capabilities as a dev.

Although maybe don’t do white text next time? That was difficult to read. Edit: Ignore me, I’m dumb.

Great combat, graat atmosphere, great story. Definitely worth your time.

I played Talos principal 2 this year and it honestly blew me away. It goes without saying the puzzles were intriguing but the story, world building, atmosphere and dialogue are the real stars of the experience.

I don’t want you to feel like you’re getting it from all sides but…

I apologize if I insinuated that all gamers are guilty of this kind of behavior, that was not my intention at all

You really gotta ignore those “not all gamers” type of posters. They are literally adding nothing to the conversation. If you are a normal person who doesn’t harass women only, then you should also be a normal person who doesn’t take offense when the community as a whole is criticized.

Look I wouldn’t be excited for a Clash of Clans PC port, so why should I care about a knock off clone getting a port?

These are the same people mad at “woke” games for not having white charcters. Their enormous amount of privliage has made them utterly blind to history or context.

I hate it here. 🙃

Oh… sure, okay, done! My streak will remain at 0.

This was the easiest picket line not to cross.

I just finished playing it for the first time and I was blown away right from the start! Guess I’m glad I waited for the polish, but the world design, voice acting and overall storyline was absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t help feel bad for all the artists that clearly put a lot of love in to the world only to be overshadowed by bugs and poor implementation.

where no form of real world politics

Oh fuck off, queer people aren’t politics. It’s literally just humans existing, but since some bigots want to limit their rights you call it political. This is the same exact thought process of asking “the Jewish question”.

never cared what the main protagonist is like

And yet here you are saying a bunch of dumb stuff about devs pushing things in. You can’t have it both ways.

it’s a game that doesn’t pander to LGBTQ

🙄

Yeah, that’s not a thing.

Oh goodness that takes me back, I remember enjoying that one a long time ago. Super unique mechanics and puzzles but you’re right, on the shorter side.

Will absolutely second your recommendation.

Are any of these games worth caring about?

It’s not 100% clear why Larian didn’t include these features in the toolkit to begin with, but it may be a case of protecting certain copyrighted assets being scraped easily from the game, or from being altered in a way that is unpleasing to DnD’s intellectual property overlords.

Super duper cool that this was done, I just worry that WoTC/Hasbro will mandate this sort of thing needs to be squashed. The new DND system is focusing heavily on a virtual tabletop system under a subscription plan. While standalone BG3 isn’t a threat, a modded full custom campaign could be seen as one. I wouldn’t even bring this up buuuuut between sending Pinkertons to collect MTG cards and the OGL crackdown, seems like any scummy move could be possible.

Hope I am worried about nothing tho.

Some people say diversity pandering

Of course they did. 🙄

I don’t think I even heard about it until now. 😂

What went wrong?

So they have a couple servers and I had charcters on all of them. On most, yeah GSF was kinda dead. But omg on Star Forge? You can chain pop matches all day. It’s by far the most populated NA server and much more active than the others. Would highly recommend heading there if you wanna scratch that dog fighting itch. 😉

(after ARR at least - especially Shadowbringers and Endwalke)

Oh yeah, those were the best storylines for sure. And I am absolutely not here to say the story in FF14 is bad, I’ve played most of the FF games and the story is always solid. But the amount of choices, variations and alignment options really seals swtor as my favorite in this regard. Absolutely no shade for anyone that disagrees, just my personal opinion. ♥

Star wars the old republic is pretty great, not perfect but super solid story, essentially just Kotor 3. I played it reguarly for last few months and truly enjoyed it like how I used to enjoy WoW back in the day. I know certain fans are going come at me with knives for saying this, but imp, it has much better story content than FF14.

Would anyone like to discuss feminism and coivd?

I played it for the very first time a few months ago and honestly became obsessed with it for a few weeks. If the game looks like something you would be into then it’s absolutely worth $25.

Clyde Prestowitz, president of the Economic Strategy Institute, went so far as to call the Defense Department lazy. He says the Pentagon should leverage the fact that “for companies in those areas, to have big business with the U.S. Department of the Defense is important.”

“I could’ve swore we had more influence than that. Amercia is still the world leader right? …right!?”

“Run Aloy! I see the shadow of a T-rex on the horizon, if we hurry it will be 6 episode before it catches up!”

That’s a shame… and also probably for the best.

“When the suspect was asked why he did what he did, the suspect stated, ‘He’s a bad person online,’”

Well my dude, you’re a bad person in real life.

My first viewing I did mostly take it at face value. But in my defense, I was a dumb 11 year old kid. It wasn’t until Neil Patrick Haris came out in full SS uniform that I started asking questions.

I try not to hype over graphics, but I’m INTO that art style.

It would be a smart move by larian, but there is worry that wizards of the coast/hasbro, owners of Dnd, would not allow that. Currently they are pushing their micro transaction subscription “Dnd beyond” tabletop game. While not quite the same thing as BG3, I wouldn’t be the most suprised if some core coop features from the base game aren’t fully Implemented.

Speaking of Tommy Tallarico, the Hbomberguy video on him was hilarious, sad and eye opening.

“Uniting Atari and Intellivision after 45 years ends the longest-running console war in history,”

Sure, but they both lost the war long ago. This is just some archeologist coming along to display both their bones in a museum hoping to boost gift shop sales.

If that’s what the devs said, sure. But the game does literally start with you taking a ferry to an island which always see very whidby/orcas/san juan.

But I’ll admit to my bias, I was driving through whidby at night on a regular basis when I played the game so they always seemed linked to me.
