This isn't the asexual misanthrope thread, not sure why I would have anything to add.

Got to the assassin's sarcophagus chamber... what in the actual fuck. Killed the assassin, killed the sarcophagus, how the fuck is this supposed to be beatable? lol.

Woot Micron.

Amos eating that dude on Ganymede's canned chicken in front of him was the highlight of the show.

It should introduce the new elements slower. Not sure why they didn't think of that lol.

So I'm finally playing War of the Chosen (did not feel like replaying when it came out, after spending so long beating the base game on Legendary-Ironman.) This shit is fucking stressful and not really all that fun? There's so much shit to worry about. Also, shitloads of zombies?!?! Did...

lol I don't even know what you're talking about, I probably won't be playing this until it comes out on PC in a few years (PC too good, PS5 too bad, gamepad controls kinda blow.) This is important to me because it clearly demonstrates the MASS FORMATION HYPOTHESIS (not a real thing) that...

Elizabet is fairly old and frumpy looking by the time the holovids of her appear. Definitely not even trying to be hot. Though Asshole Ted Who Destroyed The World clearly thought she was attractive when they were in school together.

I've shown evidence for my argument, with screenshots from both games and the trailers. You "feels" like her face is fatter in the promotional materials for the new one, but the evidence doesn't actually point in that direction, as pointed out by at least 2 other posters. It doesn't seem to be...

She has a round face that looks fat from certain angles or in certain poses or under certain lighting conditions. This exact same effect happened in multiple cutscenes in the original game, but apparently now makes men on the internet very mad and not want to buy this game. Really, this is...

Wow, that really illustrates how fucking shitty this game turned out to be. Not even being sarcastic. It also shows that BF1 was really, really well done.

I just put in some very large orders for FSKAX so I really hope we have a down day tomorrow.

Disney has pretty much all of the most valuable IPs in entertainment, plus theme parks, resorts, merchandizing, etc. It's way more than just a media company.

Of course, it's like this shit is engineered to happen this way.

Ugh why did I buy mutual funds and not ETFs.

What in the actual fuck.

My FIDU in the green. Boomer stonks 🚀.

That's not factoring in the energy and resources used to produce the mining hardware, and what impact that has on other industries like taking chips away from automotives, etc. That's also the amount of energy it uses now when it's still basically a small network. To expand the transaction...

The response missed a quote somehow, I added it back so it makes more sense.

Already addressed this. If you want good games designed by small teams, play indie games. There's tons of them, and a bunch of them are great. The bloat involved in GaaS products is the same bloat found in all SaaS products. I work in the SaaS/IaaS industry. It's definitely filled with...

I didn't say anything remotely like that. The housing thing and the energy thing were two separate, bad arguments from Torrid that I was responding to.

Blackrock really has nothing to do with the overall home inventory situation, that's just a headline grabber from the manipulative media. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/06/blackrock-ruining-us-housing-market/619224/ We've got a shortfall of about 20 million homes in the US...

FSKAX vs FXAIX?

It's a great buy-in price! At least I only had 20k in this time not 100k like before, lol. (I am still up like 30k on ETHE, even after taxes.)

Yeah, WoW would not be in the shape it was in if Kaplan was still there, or if he'd cultivated people who actually cared about having a vision for the game to take over after he left. Ion is the perfect designer for a Bobby Kotick style leadership. "Hey lets just destroy the soul of the game...

Programming and game design have very little in common and honestly very little overlap at this point outside of indie titles. The people who do the programming are not the people who design the content and the systems. Modern WoW retail's programming is great (up until you hit mass-combat...

Free money is for bankers, not parents who need to feed their kids. The American Way.

And that kind of Bobby Kotick logic is exactly how Blizzard turned into the soulless husk of a company that it is today. So yes, but also no. Games *aren't always* art, but the good ones that drive the industry forward and build IPs and brands that last for decades certainly are.

Well, you have to pay athletes actual money, unlike Blizzard employees apparently. Those employees also have to have talent, unless they're Jets.

No, it breaks the laws of economics by being purposefully thermodynamically inefficient. Remember that economics is the study of efficiency, while finance is the study of money. Real-world economies cannot sustain activities that are this inefficient with regards to the value produced for the...

I don't see a lot of government regulation coming in the crypto space in the US, aside from making sure people pay taxes on their profits which is not new regulation, just enforcing existing law. This shit is going to zero if it doesn't start obeying the laws of thermodynamics.

You're free to do all of those things in regular Mythic 0 dungeons or non-M+ dungeons like Tazavesh this patch (almost the entire dungeon is skippable with the right strats.) And I agree that there should be more challenging dungeon content that exists outside of the M+ system (like Operation...

Because if you just make it brutally hard but don't put a timer, everyone will just wait for cooldowns every pull, which will just make the game obnoxious. You'll have people beat a +35 by spending 9 hours in the dungeon because they lust every pull. There's a lot of shit wrong with WoW but...

Starcraft on the Halo Ring.

I just got an Xbox because it was cheaper (and easier with the GPU shortage) than buying a PC for my TV (the whole Bjs Xbox Bundle was less than an RX 6800 XT) and because I have at least the next 9 months of Game Pass for free due to getting a bunch of months free during the Video Game Awards...

I mean, Xbox competing with Windows as a gaming platform was very stupid, they did eventually figure it out. Sony has made great PC ports of two of their flagship games, HZD and GoW, but they need to enable cross-save and either subscription or at least buy-once, play anywhere.
