There are a small subset of people who legitimately just don’t understand game development fundamentals though, and they actually believe that things would just be fully interchangeable. As in, you buy a skin in Fortnite, and you can then open up Roblox and set it as your player model.

Those ones are especially not the brightest.

The people who are like “you can just take your skin from Skyrim and put it in gta5 and it’ll just work!!” people really are baffling. The hubris and ignorance is so much

Also never heard of it, but if it was exclusive to china that explains why.

Any word on the gameplay? Main line borderlands games are kind of mediocre, so I don’t imagine an MMO would be better.

Hmmm I see your point. I guess I’ll just keep giving “recommend / don’t recommend” reviews and writing the details with words.

It’s too bad steam doesn’t have a “mixed” review option.

Like Fallout4. It’s terrible. Bad story. bad gameplay. Buggy. But I still sometimes mod it the fuck up and play anyway, because I want a kind of stupid stealth shooter or to stomp around in power armor. So I don’t really recommend it, but you could do worse.

I have a family member that’s similar - they get really mad at inconsequential changes on the computer. But they also refuse to learn anything, so they’re just mad all the time. They also treat their phone like a capricious deity- they’re afraid to touch anything.

On the other hand, I have another family member that spends a lot of his time tinkering with linux. Years ago I got fed up fixing his windows machine I slapped xubuntu on his machine, and he took to it. He’s done several updates and fresh installs since.

Both of them are retired, so it’s not like they’re hurting for free time.

I feel like that’s long been a trend- instead of trying to lift users up and educate them, let’s just give up and hide things.

This supports what I read elsewhere about the best way to kill someone and get away with it is to hit them with your car. Don’t like your neighbor? Boss being a prick? Wait for them to be out for a bike ride and “bump” them. System’s fucked.

I really want people to roll up on the factory, shoot the management, and then shut it down.

This shit is a crime against the environment and humanity.

Not enough political will from the masses. Too busy being mad about immigrants and trans people.

Also the police are the enthusiastic bootlickers of capital, and people don’t want to get shot at after marching into a CEO’s office and throwing him out the 20th story window.

On the one hand: Good. Google is a monopoly and they suck, too.

On the other, I don’t trust the trump administration to do anything correctly. They’ll probably try to give google to Musk or something.

It’s frustrating that rich scumbags just get to live a rich life. Where’s the justice in that? Saint Luigi deliver us from assholes like Huffman.

I don’t think you can use Eldritch blast for sex stuff, not even with the push/pull effects, because the damage would kill people too easily

I feel like wizards are much better with their hands, what with all those somatic components. Sure, a barbarian can thrust hard and pick you up, but a wizard can do some unreal things with his hands and tongue.

Also mage hand definitely get used for weird sex stuff.

There’s that picture with the “no one wants to work anymore” quotes going back to like 1820?

From the top of my head

• crawl stone soup. Classic traditional rogue like. Less fiddly than net hack, but very good.
• untitled story (an older game by the main person behind Celeste. Looks like Ms paint but is utterly charming)
• everything supergiant did. Hades, bastion, pyre
• binding of Isaac is a classic.

I want to like Into the Breach but it’s too stressful. Like, when I fuck up in FTL and the crew dies it sucks, but when I fuck up in Into the Breach and all those civilians die? Oof. They were counting on me!

True. Saying you got fired sounds like you fucked up. Maybe “dismissed” is more neutral without being totally PR Speak?

Anyone else dislike the phrase “let go” in this context? It sounds like you’re doing them a favor, or they were being held hostage, or giving them permission to do something. I’d prefer “fired” or “terminated”, even though those have their own connotation problems.

Meme’s relatable, though. This capitalist hellscape is awful.

That’s one of the recurring ironies. Most of the stuff anti-car-culture people are pushing for (eg: more trains, this photo, etc) make it better for the people who do drive

Maybe the design is bad, then.
