I had just put a comment on another article about how Platinum might be the only developer whose name I trust enough to buy pretty much anything they put out.

torrent’s weird, vague mix of horse and vaguely non-horse features makes him the second most unsettling “horse” in video gaming.

I’ve been doing that, which is effective but wildly inefficient. Horse combat sucks from a ‘fun’ POV. I do enjoy how the game’s only real countermeasure so far has been with torches— people in the overworld just trying to lazily set my “horse” on fire when I circle them a little too tightly.

Experimental Jet Set is ranked far too high; it’s a scattered mess of a record. As is Goo, but that one is so cool that I get the impulse to overrate it (who doesn’t remember watching “Kool Thing” the first time?), even though maybe half of it is good.

I’m a fair bit younger than Spector but this is the hope that keeps me going, too: that I might pass on before this sinister, depressing system is inflicted on us.  It’s unlikely but not impossible.  It is the dream that I cling to.

Where are you going with this?  Are you implying that this ad does one bit of good, or even has the slightest bit of conviction behind it?

where should they have put it, then? honest question.

i feel like this doesn’t get looked at enough. There is a lot of potential for subjective and vindictive use of this, even outside of obviously “trans” matters. What if a boy isn’t “macho” enough? What if a girl is a tomboy? Hell, what if I, a man, got caught singing along to Charli XCX as a kid? Abbott and co don’t…

I think this is eliminationist policy and I really think it needs to be questioned whether someone has the right to enforce it, because this goes a bit farther than just “views”. If the majority of us wanted to, say, banish people with red hair from public spaces, would that be ok?

yup, it’s theatre.

That is some nice, bright and shiny non-action there.  It looks good, but it’s cover for them to continue to enjoy the regressive business-oriented policies of the Texas state government.  Unless they are willing to take jobs and/or $$ out of the state, this will be systematically ignored.

There’s a lot of merit to this, but the game should pause while you’re looking at the map.  I don’t understand why it doesn’t.  It blocks the whole screen and it’s not like you can strategize for a battle with it up. Hell, it’s so ornately drawn that you’re mostly just getting a very vague idea of your bearings.

Honestly, i’m not sure why I haven’t tried this yet. I despise the fact that rolling is a face button and that attacking isn’t. I’ve always just put up with it in Souls-y games, but I might change that tonight. I’m sure I’ll still suck, but it’ll probably be a little better.

also, the fact that once this whole existential threat was defeated, there were literally no aftereffects on the rest of the story. It just wrapped up  and was never discussed again.  

Would have had more sympathy if he had just directed them towards Elden Ring which, even though its audience will be limited by several factors, will probably end up more enduring than any of these non-GOT Westeros-based projects.  

Don’t really get why the map screen doesn’t pause the game either, if they can do it for tutorials.

Don’t have PS+ so I’ve been offline at all times.  It can be done.  I’ve avoided the online elements in all the From games like the plague.

It sounds like something else was going on here and you got it sorted, thankfully.

i got slaughtered while looking at a map.  absolutely hate that crap.

I rushed across this bridge and (I blame the edible for this bit) accidentally did so at a slight angle, rushing off and plummeting to a death in the fog below. I think some part of my brain thought it would collapse behind me as a “you can’t go home” sort of thing.
