The straight-up lies are what really get to me. Bullshots and fake-ass trailers for almost a decade. Hype for shit that was never going in. And now people just say “it’s great, what’s your problem?” like they want it to happen again.

I finally saw one and was shocked at how stupid it looks. It’s like Elon had a grudge with babyproofed corners.

Damn, people on Lemmy get weird when you have something slightly nice in your house now?

We were satirizing this in 1964. People literally want regressivism.

I just got “done” (i.e. bored) with my last colony, this timing is perfect.

It’s been a while since we tried, but the main thing that seemed to cause desyncs for my wife and I were caravans, which makes it a little tough to play sometimes. But I indulged in a few more mods than were really necessary, even following the compatibility spreadsheet As vanilla as possible is probably the way to go.

This game has like ten difficulty options. If you need the BFG on easy mode then you probably are just bad at videogames.

This game has like ten difficulty modes.

Aside from TF2–and even that I got a bit bored with–most all of my interest in multiplayer FPS died along with Unreal Tournament. Doesn’t feel like having fun is the goal anymore.

Fuck spez, but even if he was a moderator knowingly, wouldn’t the point of that be to… moderate it, so that it didn’t have illegal content?

Not vouching for “legal jailbait” or anything.

But how will they get more War Thunder clicks and irresponsibly point where fans can report people if they stop making YouTube drama?

It’s mildly interesting to consider that just stating the intent is the key difference. Not so much banning the mod as the modder, I guess.

If you like roguelikes and want to ruin the scope of all other games for you for a while, try CDDA.

My gamer brain is in shambles.

One thing I always liked about The Sims was it being a satire on life. Especially the first one. I don’t think this game is interested in going that direction… Everything is very Korean. Spotless and clean and sterile.

I really loved OkCupid back before they sold out. They would share a lot of interesting data on their blog posts, and seemed genuinely interested in making successful matchups based on how your profile was presented to others. It was fun to be on there and didn’t feel like you were just being presented for “dateable” you were if you didn’t want to be.

I also met my wife on OkCupid, but that was just before the site really took a nosedive. Pretty annoyed they deleted my account without warning, so the first message she ever sent me is gone forever.

I played EQ in that era and I absolutely love playing Project 99… to a point. It ends up with the same problem that every older online game seems to have: all the veterans that never left act like they own the place, and take it way too seriously.

If I do go back to P99 it will just be to level a character up until I get bored. There’s lots of essence to EQ that you just don’t get in modern MMORPGs; mostly because content is difficult to solo, working with others makes your entire life easier, and everyone is struggling together. I’ve had so many good conversations with people while camping in Blackburrow and Guk and the Karanas and so many places. I recommend it to anyone for that.

One of the few subs I actually miss.
