I have one, but remembering the password and all that is too much effort.

PEGI and many other groups are private groups. They’re not an authority of any form. They’re not associated with government, public regulation, or public election. They’re a group of people that create their own standards outside of the ISO or any actual regulation representing the public.

Some countries do have actual public systems, but many just have these private groups that know best.

They do this with Early Access and people still lose their shit about empty content and unfinished graphics in a game they paid $10 for.

I hear the Nintendo war drums…

The story I hated.

I made my character based around John Coffey from Green Mile, but like he’s the bad ass everyone thinks he is. I knew I wanted to drop INT and CHA for brute strength and constitution. I was ready to do everything possible to dominate the Wastelands… But that intro… Just the character creation…

It’s like, if you weren’t drawn toward making a character bio based around the white nuclear family, you were never going to enjoy the intro at all, and you’d put off the main quest as long as possible to go do all the crazy shit you hit the wastelands for.

“It’s time to find Shaun.”

“But-”

“No. You’ve murdered everything, you’re an absolute beast. You are all that is chaotic-neutral in the wastelands. It’s time to finally start quest 2 of the main quest.”

“But I’m not a family man! He’s not even mine! I only met that bitch at the bar the night before!!”

“Well, that’s not what the game says-”

Huh? A Fortnite-Disney metav-

Oh, I thought he was going hard on the trolling, implying the bug was that the ads are broken when offline.

You just made me realise I’m a gamer, not a Fortniter. But I probably should’ve realised that based on my Steam "years of service* and disgustingly large catalogue.

I’m a proven guaranteed money pot, publishers! Make me something good and I give the moneys!

I think it was the puzzles and lack of guidance. Not really knowing if I’m in the right place doing the right thing. Maybe I’ll try again with a bit of a guide until it hooks in and I get it.

I tried, I really did. But a few hours in, I just didn’t like the gameplay even though I thought I would’ve loved it and the other new games I had waiting won.

Maybe I should grind through. Is there a point where it suddenly gets good a few hours in? Or is it just not for me, despite everything on the book’s cover?

1. FTL
2. Whichever Rockband has the most songs (obv all instruments, mods, DLC)
3. Asetto Corsa (with my selection of mods) + standard decent sim wheel/pedals/rig.

Sony. Nope. It can be activated with a press, though never use it.

Unfortunately it depends on who’s doing it. Who’s creatively in charge and what freedom they get.

At the moment, it’s reliably bad. Even when the vision is good, it’s dominated by invested poo poo.

Feels ritualistic at this point.

Bethesda does the thing; gamers and modders do the thing. Bethesda says, “Whoops!” We all laugh.

Only difference this time is it feels like 76 has been out longer than when they usually try this.

Yes, but at least it’s well regulated and for militia purposes-…oh, wait, that part of the constitution is for TP.

Yeah, but you’ll get a few hours in and uninstall because you stop playing.

Tried a bunch and landed on Thunder. It’s minimalist, tucking away all its features nicely. It’s experience is like rif if you ever used that, but lots more going on in the Settings menu to set it up how you like.

I think the issue is there’s a constant influx of young gamers entering the market and all the old tricks are new to them. The teen to young adult age bracket is very lucrative and will never stop unless we stop having sex and procreating. If we all abstain for like 20 years, we’ll finally disrupt big gaming and also have no one in chat insulting anyone’s mother.

Counter-Strike skin betting platform CSGOEmpire has claimed responsibility for the stunt. “Some of our men are on the ground in handcuffs,” wrote CSGOEmpire founder Monarch on X after the incident. “But we fucking did it, boys.”

Monarch says that the stunt was a protest of alleged “scams” by competitor CSGORoll, which it fired accusations at in a blog post titled “The Wars We Wage.” In a post last summer, CSGORoll said that unnamed “malicious competitors” were targeting it with a “hate campaign.”

“These malicious competitors have engaged in a hate campaign against us, and claim that we are running ‘scam websites,’” the site said. “We do not know their motive, but we suspect that it is a personal vendetta, based on a grudge and is designed to try and harm our business and gain a competitive advantage for themselves.”

Kill me if I ever become this petty and all I can see in the world worth protesting is this.

Sounds like your phone is top priority. Either clear it off the car or move her’s up to the top spot.

Is there anyone left in the video game industry that knows how to do video games?

Being stuck inside during COVID gave me that epiphany. Now I buy games to save money. It used to be the other way around, but these days a night out or going for a day trip somewhere can cost more than a game that’ll eat up hours of my recreation needs over the upcoming months.

I’ve never been one for staying indoors and watching TV for too long, but it’s just costing too much to go out the front door often. Games feel different and they scratch my itch to go out, especially if friends are playing too.

There better be at least one car on fire in the streets of Paris.

Modding for me. Whenever I’ve loaded it up again, it’s been with immersion mods that make stuff like weather exposure, food, and travelling things you have to manage. It’s a different game and you do things differently, like, you’re not getting to High Hrothgar until you hunt some furs to wear and have a good tent to shelter from blizzards on the way up. Many mods also bring in entirely new content.

New Vegas was definitely a treat, though. I found Fallout 3 quite mediocre and never ended up finishing it. Skyrim sort of falls in the middle there somewhere.

I imagine this’ll increase poor sportsmanship. It’s also already one of the highest injury sports for sprains, tears, etc. Don’t need that going up.

It’s not Uber, it’s “drivers” using group chats to co-ordinate surges and move from area to area.

Basically, big groups designate a part of town to collectively ignore. This means not enough drivers are there to handle the requests, so the surge kicks in to attract more drivers into the area with bigger fares. When the surge is on, they all come in, grab the inflated fares, drop off, and co-ordinate again for another area.

So when jobs aren’t being backed up, your trip would likely be $9. But if a big group is blocking the area, there’s enough of them in the group chat to influence prices.

Because they all use three or four ride share services, switching won’t help. They won’t risk missing the Uber.surge.when everyone decides it’s time to start pickups.

While he’s there under oath, can they get some HL3 info out of him?

Meanwhile SoT churns out content and updates, maintaining a very active and solid population over the years. Plus full PvE mode coming soon which will be fun for a lot of players wanting to casually enjoy all the Tall Tales content.

I can imagine a lot of SoT players giving it a go, just to go back. I think the ship’s sailed on this one.

I did that once. I’m Firefox and DuckDuckGo now. Love it. The difference in being served the internet and surfing the internet. Ha. Haven’t heard that term in a long time.

As an adult that can comfortably afford more than one game every six months, I forgot that Overwatch, Fortnite, and Apex Legends exist. The games that’ve released—,especially in the past 6 months—why would you even bother with BRP till?

Foord in the left channel for MVP.

But Fowler’s ball control and then hitting the long through ball that set up the first goal was perfection. That goal’s going to make Top 10 of the tournament lists for sure.

I’d you already paid for them, it’s not stealing.

Asseto Corsa Competizione, back into it after a while. Working on my new profile’s safety rating to be eligible for some leagues. The newer cars are fun, but I keep getting taken out by lower rank players which is making progress slow.

I will probably load up Transport Fever 2 this weekend. I got it on Summer Sale and really enjoyed the 2-3 hours or so I’ve put into it so far.

Should probably squealeze in some Diablo 3 but not very motivated. Also, very excited for Baldur’s Gate 3 finally coming out. Gonna Bard it up!
