she/her
I am a feminist and some sort of left anarchist. I like video games, FOSS software, Lord of the Rings, math, and summoning uncountably many demons by digging too deep.
I am not LGBTQ+ but I try to be a good ally. (How’s my driving?)
…that’s fine. Kind of boring though.
Think about it: do you really think Bethesda can expand this universe in a way that wouldn’t come off as stereotyping or downright racist in another nation? Could they make a story that’s interesting and authentic? Their writing has been pretty bad lately. They’re just not up to it.
I wonder what happens when the last whale has been milked dry.
I have some bad news for you friend.
I work at a casino. There is no end of whales. There are whales that are rich enough to sustain their habits and spend more than you or I could morally spend if we had the means. Then, there are whales that spend outside their means, burn out, and are replaced by a new person who does the same thing.
When a whale (highroller) stops coming, we usually assume they’ve gone to one of our competitor’s casinos.
I see no reason why this wouldn’t apply to real-money transactions in video games. It’s just another casino.
I can’t find the ratings for the original (the game may be older than ERSB) but black and white 2 is T for teen. It has sacrifice, murder, child abuse, etc as a mechanic for the “evil” route.
I’m sure there are more games like this. I remember drowning my Sims for fun as a child and I’m pretty sure that game is also T.
I have played cult of the lamb, and there wasn’t really anything in it a highscooller shouldn’t see.
(Edit: I have done no research on the dlc. The marketing does look edgy, but that doesn’t mean the content is inappropriate. I don’t plan on buying the DLC. Imho the art was cute but the gameplay was mid. Also, personal opinion, poop management as a mechanic is boring and dumb.)
Some of those nodes are broken, it’s got coolant leaks and the processors are 8 years old. I read in another article they meant to replace it a couple years ago but couldn’t due to COVID supply chain problems (makes sense tbh).
What I’m saying is, it might be “assembled” already but due to the power draw, you definitely don’t want to run something this out of date. It’s huge. Might be a logistical problem to even get enough juice for this thing. Another poster pointed out it might need its own electrical substation. IMHO it’s only worth parting out. Far too expensive to run.
Those cabinets look nice though, with the Cheyanne graphic on the front.
