I’ve heard of it and seen that people enjoy it, but outside of that, I don’t really know much about the game. I’ll have to maybe give it a try one day. I do really appreciate when games have a carefully crafted gameplay systems

Bf3 definitely had a buggy launch but was fixed decently quick if I recall correctly? Faster than bf4 was

Hmm insane depressed failure you say? Maybe he’s closer to me than I thought lol!

In that case maybe I just need to lean into him being a much more defined stereotype like being dumb and strong or something haha

Thank you for letting me know, that’s good to keep in mind

I feel like I’ll need to try it again sometime. I found it annoying that I couldn’t seem to self insert lol. Might have been how my character was set up.

Hmm I think most rogue likes. But that’s probably a me issue. I just don’t enjoy having to restart and play the same gameplay loop again. Hades was the closest one that I seemed to enjoy more as I liked the story bits between each run. I recently started cult of the lamb and I enjoy the base building so that might help too.

It’s interesting that you mention DS3. I quite enjoyed my time with it(once I got my bearings. I had to restart a number of times) but I’m super curious if I would enjoy it as much if I went back and played DS1 again to compare.

I can completely understand the environment complaint. I really liked sekiro for all the varied environments and themes.

I find it reassuring that Wikipedia is doing it’s best to try and maintain truth and accountability. I agree they should be hosted in a different place.

Side thought/my own ramblings here: Has there ever been hosting where the information is scattered across the world rather than one localized spot? That seems like it might be helpful, but I honestly don’t know enough about site hosting

This kind of tech is going to mislead people into wars. It’s going to ruin digital information

I just hope that if “everything becomes an xbox” like they have stated they want to accomplish, that I’ll have access to my full library of titles via pc.

They’ve destroyed their brand through a million cuts over the past decade

This issue hasn’t affected me yet. But I worry that it could affect us if these payment processors keep escalating. Like sure, right now, it’s NSFW. But then it’ll be anything they want. LGBT+ content? Too much violence? Critical of religion? They’ll just keep going

It was a great deal when you could convert for a dollar. I was already paying for online, so a dollar was nothing.

From those super cheap years, I played a good majority of the catalog. If I had to estimate a total amount, it’s probably close to 300+ games I at least tried or finished.

The issue is they didn’t add enough to keep up and what they did add was a lot of old titles I’ve already played. It doesn’t make sense to pay what they’re asking now. It’s crazy. I’m very curious if their asking price will actually pay off for them. After my current sub is up, I think I’m good.

The whole industry trying to milk people for more and more feels gross. I’m going to stick to sales and indies for the foreseeable future unless there’s that one special title that comes around once in a blue moon.

Blows my mind that this the UK is doing this. I hope it gets reverted at some point.

OH this is exciting. That’s one of my favorite parts about the Xbox controller

They’re trying to turn it into truth social. I want to say people won’t fall for it, but I’m sure some will

Haha glad I could help. ProZD was truly ahead of his time with Vine.

I looked at it, thought “it looks fairly average, I wonder what’s unique about it”

I saw the price and my eyes went wide lol

The dangerous thing that I think AI and censorship cause is a lack of trust and feeling of cooperation within a nation. I believe it causes people to close themselves off and become distrustful of their government.

This might just be me projecting my own bias, but the rise of rampant misinformation and the general breakdown of society and the social safety net(or rather the breakdown of what minimal safety nets were there to begin with) has caused me to distrust and question anything I see. It has caused me to just double down my thinking based around my own personal worldview rather than accept what I am told or directly see.

It makes me a lot more resistant to go with the flow. I’m not sure if that’s beneficial for a countries government or not. I can’t see it being helpful, though, when I’m likely not going to believe what they tell me or view things with such high skepticism.

Edit: the one thing this could do though is if a group had enough information on a specific person is they could push misinfo to specific groups and people with a spin that they believe the targets would be more likely to fall for. For example, maybe I would be more likely to believe something negative about something that I already have a negative bias towards. If someone wanted to manipulate me further, they could customize or tailor that to manipulate me further.

I feel like I’m going into tinfoil hat territory, but at the same time I feel like it’s probably not that far fetched. Maybe at some point I just go back to monkey and live in the woods lol.

I think if I was going to get a new keyboard, i would want to go one of two routes. Either super customizable, or go super silly overpriced. Have you seen that flux keyboard? It looks bonkers but it’s like $500 - $600

People lacking empathy really messes with me. Stealing is obviously morally wrong, but to steal from someone who is obviously very sick is next level fucked up. I’m glad people helped this guy out in the end. Really sad story

My only issue with palworld is the gameplay loop. Your options seem to be collecting pals, exploring, building bases, and then fighting the arena bosses. It feels like it has solid fundamentals, but it just doesn’t feel like a fully fleshed out game
