So, just to get this straight: I pay money to buy the game, probably also a subscription fee and why stop there… also DLC , P2W items and cosmetics. And the hardware, gpu, memory and electricity. And then I watch the game while I jerk off to furry porn?

Have the executives in that company already been replaced by LLMS? If not, why not?

Who doesnt love getting spearphisted by all these random girls on discord that send friend requests without ever talking to you?!

I just uninstalled epic games launcher today because Tim Sweeney is a spineless waste of skin.

How dare you?!

This meme is pretty new, like from the future, but it checks out.

‘Baby boomer’ and then in 2024 the sequel: ‘Baby Boomer 2: 35 Years Too Soon’ coined this genre. Thank you kimulator, I wanna have sex with your dead grandmother 👍

Finish a game from your backlog first.

oh god that game was awesome when it launched.

LOL these people are geniuses! I thought I’d never want to have anything to do with EA Games and they managed to find a way to make it easier.

It’s awefully repetitive, doesnt have any enticing game mechanics and is generally just a very slow slog from one cutscene that you dont care about to the next. Think of watchdogs but without everything that makes it remotely good. My friend pirated it and finished it, I’d rather pay someone money to kick me in the balls, that sounds way more fun than fucking mindsei

Who’s gonna steal a loaded 90 disk enclosure xD

Some people Parado while others Paradon’t. I liked the games, but it’s a shitty company.

At some point CCP Games held the IP and didnt do absolutely anything with it for years and then sold it to paradox. Thank you CCP Hilmar for not fucking something up for once and just doing what you do best, twiddling your thumbs while doing nothing.

What you describe is a workstation under someone’s desk. Usually when you connect to your campus vpn you should be on the network and be able to reach most things.

The problem is who is gonna manage it when you are gone? I’ve had teams come and ask to get their trash can Mac’s rescued because whoever managed them left the team. How are you going to do backups? Are you gonna put a NAS next to it? Or actually use the tape drives that ITS can provide?

Ask your local research computing group what this team needs to do to host or contribute an actual server. A Mac mini is a consumer product, research grants can I include hardware, your computing group has actual racks and people who know how to manage it.

I only know about it because I have a friend who is into old apple stuff and he showed me marathon and aleph one… Whatever the fuck this is it’s just a cash grab. Fuck Bungie for stealing the graphic assets from their dev before firing her.

They are trying to establish an old IP that noone gives a fuck about by saying ‘this is the spiritual predecessor to halo, you like halo, dont you?’ Fuck you Bungie

if only they could get AI to a point where it buys and plays their shitty games for them

So if you ever played Jacksmith you might understand the forging mechanic in this game… The premise is that: you forge your own weapon, quality depends on how good you do at the minigame. When you die you drop that weapon and have to recover it.

I watched my friend struggle to play it because he didn’t play jacksmith and making a weapon was infuriating to watch. Then he set off to walk somewhere, kill some mobs, got killed, lost his weapon. Struggled to make a new one that was shittier than the first one, set out to recover the first weapon and died. Lost the second weapon to make the third and at this point he ragequit and deleted the game. Who thought people would enjoy the part where they lose their stuff that they just struggled to get? Boggles the mind

Getting ghosted like fuck was the norm before this nonsense started… he just didnt notice because he wasnt looking
