Couple of quick additions:

I give it two years of being basically underused and forgotten before they shut it down unceremoniously, as is the Google way.

Bone to pick: this girl being trash isn’t a hall pass to disparage universities (USC and SDSU in this article alone) that a lot of us worked hard to get into and get through. You don’t sound cool when you suggest these competitive schools are worthless; you sound like an elitisit. If your point is that education is…

I actually think it is probably better not to come out with some public code of conduct for getting the boot from Steam, because then trolling devs will just try and make games that come in *just* below that level of bad behavior and then, either (1) Valve has to leave the game up, per its own written policy; or (2)…

I know they’re worried about legal ramifications, but at some point I think Valve just needs to come out and say:

I really, really like it, and it shows its love of the genre and the desire to give players more to do at every turn. I’m just a resentful jerk who hates that it’s eaten so much of his last week.

I don’t actually have a counterpoint. I sensed that most arguments against yours were missing the point... or getting lost in some minutia that was somehow correct in the microcosm of specific cases but losing sight at the macro level.

The takeaway I’m getting from your thread, the responses, and my own insights are this:

Noooo. Where are my grandiose, bloody gauntlets of enemies leading up to fantastically weird, quirky, memorable boss battles?

Yeah I don’t see too much suddenly changing sadly. The leaked contract for Destiny revealed that Bungie still had pretty high control over the product as I recall (can’t access the full thing now as it’s hosted on LA Times which is blocked in the EU still) and the bad design decisions stem more from the internal…

I was at first, too! But I just realized something: The launcher loops around again next year. No matter what day you start, you always have 365 days of new games ahead of you. Starting on a different day just means you’re starting in a different place in the cycle.

I’m about thirty hours into Crosscode and it may be my top game of 2018. 

I did see your post! I actually started CrossCode after I saw it on Fahey’s list, but I appreciate your comment nonetheless.

or they’re all high as fuck.

The season pass description states a clear number of DLC expansions that will come with it. It mentions three ... and the last one launched a few weeks ago.

It was a PC pre-order bonus *for Fallout 76*. They’re giving these games away to people they literally already gave them away to a couple months ago!

It was in fact once a free bundle on GOG à few years ago. 

You are absolutely correct (about the lung). The lung/respiratory system is a beautifully complex and compelling system. Its functions are wide reaching and it perhaps serves as one of the most important points of major contact to the environment. Pardon me for neglecting a full blown dissertation on the…

As a family physician, your take is utter bullshit.
