60 second summary of 1 and 2

MoP wound up being one of the best expansions tho.

Tbf tankies are right wingers who adopted a leftist aesthetic.

Eh stylized assets aren’t necessarily easier or less time consuming than PBR. It’s not difficult to make a game look realistic these days at least to a reasonable amount of scrutiny. Also this is a large developer with a lot of funding so EA isn’t going to cut corners in the art department with one of their flagship IPs. You also can’t just reallocate artists to work on mechanics, these are entirely different departments and the process of hiring/firing workers dynamically doesn’t gel well with a production pipeline.

Not the distillery! 😭

I think this is precisely why I have such a visceral reaction to blurring swear words and using euphemisms like ‘unalive’.

Language naturally evolves over time but I really don’t like the idea that it’s being disproportionately influenced by social media companies and their shitty algorithms trying to please advertisers. Yuck!

I’m so so sorry to do this to you. Double battles were introduced with Ruby and Sapphire… 22 years ago…

MMOs to MOBAs to BR… On and on and on. Publishers being 2 years too late to a trend and trying to jump on the train after it left the station fucking over their existing fanbase in the process. The MBAs in charge of these decisions should be fired… Out of a cannon into the sun.

As someone who is also awkwardly treading the line between being a soulless hack and trying to get my work noticed by literally anyone: please edit your top comment with a link to your game.

I mean it. I can’t even muster the courage to post my renders to Instagram without feeling like some desperate influencer goof.

When I bought Fallouts 1, 2 and Tactics from EB like 15 years ago I couldn’t run them even with the disc in the drive. The shitty securom was broken and refused to recognise the disc. It was only thanks to pirates that I was able to crack them and play the copies I fucking paid money for.

DRM is cancer.

The S5 was IP67 with a removable battery and an SD slot (so don’t listen when people say they removed batteries for the waterproofing).

The S6 had no waterproofing, no removable battery and no SD slot.

The S7 brought back the SD slot and had IP68 water resistance but they never returned the removable battery.

Wait did Samsung take them away again??

I didn’t mind Reddit gold as a method of paying for upkeep on an ostensibly free site. If well-off Redditors wanted to chip in to help with maintenance resulting in fewer or less intrusive ads then that’s grand.

The point when they started losing me was when the Reddit front page modernised into the Instagram feed looking abomination it is today and when they shifted from Reddit gold to the silver diamond thing they have now. No I don’t want to make an avatar. No I don’t want to follow users or have them follow me.

It started as the last example of old social media like forums and got metric’d into this half-formed freak of a site that seems to actively resent the users that build and maintain their entire platform.

You don’t think House of the Dead was a cinematic masterpiece? Tsk tsk! Poor taste I say!

I’m not disagreeing with you because I know terms like classic are entirely relative but holy shit referring to fortnight as a classic nearly triggered a mid-life crisis. Holy hell. Ow.

Hear hear. Soul was a great movie because it was fun for kids but spoke to adults. Pixar does that a lot. A good kids movie is just a good movie that’s appropriate for children. Sure you can feed kids entertainment slop and it might even make bank but if you’re trying to make a film and not just a vehicle for the line to go up then slop is not it.

Hale is an incredible VA and she has had more roles than there are grains of sand.

It’s also funny when she voices multiple characters in the same game like Killer Frost and Hawk Girl in Injustice.

It also removes any sense or individuality. Contrasted with clones who frequently customised their armour.

Chicken isn’t vegan?
