Metaphysics are a real fuck.

PS1 Greatest Hits were I think 20 bucks? Sell a million copies and we'll reissue top shelf games for twenty fucking dollars.

I'm sure other games had this happen to them and it's just the most visible with Diablo 4 but content creators gonna content. We've got tier lists, build guides, talent calculators, thousands of hours of Twitch vods and all manner of theorycrafting on the first act of the open beta of a video...

I've never played Uno but it's sounding like a litmus test for determining if you should ever play a game of anything with a particular person ever again.

He's got like, parts of a couple things. It's true that real wages have barely risen since the 1970s but it isn't true that lagging wage growth slowed inflation. Housing, college and healthcare all rose substantially. The 1970s is still the era of 2.5x to 3x of median income was the median cost...

Poor bastards.

Dungeons and Dragons been waiting for you for like 40 years.

I'm just a spectator but watching people hop around testing the it looks like Barbarian and Druid are from an entirely different game. It's legit brutal watching Kripp swap from Necro or Sorc to Druid. Signing up to clear at 1/5th of the speed just can't be the play in an ARPG.

Tech is naturally deflationary anyway. The computers we're rocking today would be priceless in 1995 and small wars would be worth fighting over some of our phones.

It's about the opportunity cost. There's never been more shit competing for your time and your money than right now and Blizzard wants a you to pony up quite a bit of both. That's a big ask.

Aliens goes way harder than The Shining. Kubrick's film is far more about atmosphere and rising tension than horror stuff. It's got a tiny body count and almost no gore. You've probably absorbed enough scenes from the film through cultural osmosis that you could watch Doctor Sleep and never be...

Sweet! You get to watch The Shining for the first time! It's great! Wait, did you skip out on The Shining because it's too horrory?

They're called pockets and there are many billiards games that require a table without them.

Progression gated by dailies/weeklies sounds pretty awful. I can sorta understand it in WoW where they're perfected the art of spooning out content as they collect a monthly fee but in an ARPG people just wanna blast content.

Store brands can be ok!

Got DLC and season passes and shit to sell.

You know what is happening this is going to keep going or you know what is happening this is a short term or one-time thing.

He'll start his cut in the beginning of April.

Gotta trust Earth Chan

I'm not sure I'd want a ton of games to adopt it but Path of Exile doing the currency = crafting components route is a big part of what makes it unique. I played a fucking ton of Sanctum and it felt like I was making real progress with everything I was doing. Every league mechanic was at least...

If historical trends hold it'll be about two weeks. Announcements for the May TLP tend to happen in the first week of April.

I just recently learned about Death Race. I guess it was one of the first big video game controversies. You drive around hitting "gremlins" that scream when you run them over. TRAINING PEOPLE TO KILL

It's from 15 years ago back in the really early days and yeah, he's definitely throating his shit mike. I remember liking these old off the cuff reviews of his though in part because of how fucking bizarre some of these games are - I don't think Tattoo Assassins ever had a proper release but...

Jesus, really? It's this piece of shit? Goddamn. Well, here's a video game review of it from the early days of nerd reviewing -

There's a lot of these games. Early 90s or late 90s?

Well he was just coming off of and Aliens was only a couple years prior.

edit - these Gen X references ain't getting any younger

That's bullshit but I believe it.

All the skeezy DMs are going to keep that from happening.

"Don't marry the first girl you have sex with" was what I got. I've seen other people complaining about the advice their boomer parents gave them but it's not my experience.

Well what do you suggest we should do with our second penises?

When they first introduced their level 85 heroic characters and gave everyone one for free it was incomprehensible. The level cap is now what, 120? And a heroic character can start at 100? I'm not even sure where someone would go to get good information.

Remember that episode of DS9 where everyone in the station is working against Chief O'Brien and we learn at the end the O'Brien we've been following around for the episode is a genetically engineered assassin duplicate thing? Would be quite the deep cut to reintroduce that. Oh hey, the Dominion...

If you get on the aggro table of an open world boss you're PvP flagged for five minutes. Sadly that wouldn't work as zones break down with huge numbers.

If Vaniki had the kind of insane energy we saw on Selo it's possible more targets would have went down. It also didn't help that a whole bunch of people burned out hard on from camping shards and farming Emp keys on a server where you were already spending a lot of time bind rushing targets or...

If you have hardmodes than people feel obligated to do them and shitty if they don't. In terms of dollars a carnival ride like all races all classes no keys no flags relaxed true boxing bonus loot has to make more sense than Vaniki 2.0 or bolting on hardmodes.

So you launch at Classic this time with a level cap of 40 and then give a little prize to anyone that can get a kill on Inny/CT and a prize for downing Eye of Veeshan. Boxing, double loot, random loot, whatever is that something people are going to really be all that interested in doing? Vaniki...
