He bought the United States government. Plain and simple. He backed all of Trump’s shenanigans, was pivotal in his win, and now Trump is going to allow him to twist and break our government in whichever way is going to net him more power. I have no doubt he will make obscene amounts of money from this but the non-fungible benefits are what really scare me. Someone mentioned Musk focusing on ICBM production moving forward and I don’t know if I fully buy into that idea but it is a terrifying one.

As someone old enough to have chosen between save files to delete for space, I don’t really understand why people get so hung up on which games are currently installed.

There are two issues with your entire argument.

1. It is supremely stupid and a waste of everyone’s time to ask a question that everyone knows the vast majority of people are going to parrot some variation of the same lie too.

2. You’re operating under some weird assumption that people get multiple job offers within a timeframe that can be considered competitive.

Only as a result of millions of kids being told that college was the only viable route to a successful career. It’s just yet another commoditized self-fulfilling prophecy.

I would be fine with the third one if it ended on another bread pun. Panel four is only a detriment to the comic.

I never thought I would see blade of darkness again. Thank you for sharing.

A betting man would play this one slow. I am definitely part of the crowd that wants this to do well but I am not counting on it.

The qunari design is the weirdest thing to me. They Bioware spent so much effort solidifying who the Qunari are in 2 and had a great design to reflect that. Then in 3 I feel like they maintained and perhaps even improved the design, but kinda watered down the characterization of the culture. Perhaps I’m misremembering and the group of Qunari present in 2 are a more extreme sect than they are representative of the people as a whole. Now in Veilguard they seem to have really softened everything about the race. I’m just confused about the design direction which is disappointing because I really enjoy the qunari of DA2.

DA2 has several bad qualities. I personally would not generalize it as a bad game. I am willing to concede that this is an unpopular opinion, however.

This game was actually pretty fun if you could find a lobby but it was buggy as hell and could become lopsided pretty quickly.

I know nothing about game development, so feel free to reference back to that. If the player is controlling an actual toddler in this game, rather than a 2ft tall Ethan Winters, have you considered trying to alter the camera and movement controls so they are more wobbly/unsteady? The most jarring observation I had from the trailer was "No toddler on the planet moves that purposefully.

Otherwise I think you have a fantastic spooky atmosphere and I think the idea of playing a helpless child really lends itself to the horror genre in a powerful way.

Do you think you could expand on what the gameplay is actually like?

I can’t tell if this is just a silly joke or an astute observation of depression.

Who looks more ridiculous? The monkey that paid a stupid amount of money for a delicious treat they couldn’t have gotten at home, or the monkey that paid a stupid amount of money for someone else to peel a regular ass banana for them? It’s a pretty basic “don’t throw stones in glass houses” analogy.

I disagree. There are still tons of games available that are amazing and aren’t developed by companies that enable shitty behavior and decision making, but you definitely have to shift through the chaff to find them.

Hot shit it’s not often you see a frontpage cross reference on Lemmy!

I haven’t pieced out why yet but I have recently realized that phone calls are a huge anxiety trigger for me.

I had no idea Guild Wars was still releasing content. The first game was my first big boy MMO and I have so many fond memories.

You’re not wrong but there is such a huge cost of entry for even a decent speaker set up.

Don’t get me wrong I adore BG3 and it is absolutely stunning, but I don’t know if we can compare a heavily curated experience like that to something like this which allows for such a high degree of customization and player created content. It will be interesting to see if the final product actually looks like this. You can damn well guarantee all of those customization options will be locked behind micro transactions though.

Not really, but just turn it off if it’s a problem.
