I say bring back both of them and toss a coin to decide which one is playing Betty in any given scene. Don’t lampshade it though. Don’t acknowledge it at all.

There is a subset of pokemon fans who get angry when the game (or at least the game after the game) becomes more accessible. Whether it’s easier shiny hunting or time saving measures for breeding and training competitive mons, they’ll get pissed that it’s easier now because they look at new players who didn’t have to…

See, I read that as ‘by the time he was sleeping next to his PS4 his relationship was on the outs.’ He’s not sleeping next to his PS4 because he plays games too much, he’s sleeping there because he’s no longer allowed to sleep in the bedroom in the bed: he’s in exile on the floor of his living room or the couch and…

Not a game, but I can’t enjoy Howl’s Moving Castle anymore as it was followed up immediately mere minutes after with my abusive ex emotionally abusing me and telling me I’ll never be a real girl and she was kicking me out of her apartment (I was 6 hours by plane from my home state). Luckily one of my besties let me…

Horsing Around - 73

I decided that there’s nothing I really need to see anything live so I canceled cable. Next day is fine for everything I want to watch. 

I’m shocked that these companies have discovered that the costs to deliver the channels that actually matter to consumers are largely going into end up costing the same no matter the delivery platform. 

Entertainment costs are like the second law of thermodynamics. You may be able to come out ahead in the short term by doing a lot of extra work locally, but they are going to get you eventually no matter what.

The fact that ghoul is using the term “egame” just confirms whatever crap they will release will be completely awful.

“Celebrity”

No game has cost more to develop than Star Citizen and this game is far from finished. The other games that cost less are you know, finished.

Scope creep is usually accidental.

I think you’re misremembering the Kickstarter (unsurprisingly after a whole ass decade). Star Citizen was ALWAYS an MMO. The entirely single player game is a separate offline component (Squadron 42). That’s one of the very few things about SC that’s never changed.

I’ve put it this way before: “As long as people keep giving them money to develop this game.... why would they ever stop?”

Until there’s actual narrative content, that’s about all you can do. Also, pay lots of real money for ingame items that don’t exist yet.

Fine, it’s not a scam. But it is a cult.  

Agreed. The game exists and a lot of work has been put into it. The people working on it clearly want to make a good game. It’s just the victim of poor management and endless feature creep.

Freelancer lacked final polish but it was actually really good.

I paid $50 for the single player game in the initial Kickstarter and occasionally log in to see how the janky tech demo is going. There’s still no sign of even the first chapter of Squadron 42. Yeah, it’s vaporware.

The vapiest vaporware that ever vaped a vape.
