I think I know exactly the point that broke your brain near the end as it certainly did mine!

As you already pointed out, we’ve already seen this in the ‘robot revolution’ that replaced many manufacturing jobs with machines or replaced people like bank tellers with ATMs. On the one hand, society is still here, unemployment is pretty low - many people found new jobs. On the other hand, a lot of people didn’t…

Oh, ‘weird tie-in book to a story already found in a book called The Bible’ is a well-trod path for these shows. My favorite has to be “A Story of God and All of Us: A Novel based on the Epic TV Show: The Bible” which was basically just a bad bad bad paraphrase of, well, the Bible.

The Chosen, at least, is trying to…

I think it just goes to show how truly amazing the series is that a repeated complaint is ‘everyone imitated it, so its less original now’

Some of these complaints are just... strange.

“LOZ2 broke with tradition!” What tradition? There was one game before it.

“MM was stressful! You only had 3 days!” That... you could…

Additionally, for what its worth, you can sit at any fire and just fast-forward time, so you don’t actually have to wait for 11 minutes or whatever it is for that one location to open up, you can just sit in front of a fire for 15 seconds and then go do it.  DEFINITELY helped me out at this exact same section where I,…

100% this. DA:I was a game where I remember multiple times just losing myself in the character interactions (especially the group scenes) and finding them just so *good* while... I really don’t remember any of the ME:A ones.

Also sad that the Quarians were missing.  I love those germophobes.

Found it.

I dunno... feels a little weird to declare that a game that came out a year ago, has another game in the franchise that just came out, and an expansion that is coming in the next few months “Forgotten” just because other games with wider releases/playerbases and elements that the Horizon games lack (for instance,…

Mmmm.... “We’re making a multiplayer experience, but don’t worry, we still plan to do a single player game” is the exact same line Bethesda fed us with Elder Scrolls Online.

Eleven years later, we have, what... an announcement from 4 years ago that they still plan on making it, someday, but probably not until they…

I feel that the best way to understand DF is through these comics of various playthroughs:

But we already have digital contracts. Why do we need blockchain digital contracts? We already have asset managers. Why do we need blockchain asset managers?

There is nothing inherently magical about your copy of an online-purchased game. Its just a copy of code. If you make an NFT of the game and give it to your…

Sure, but the cloud always had an inherent draw: “Once this gets cheap enough, it will be cheaper to rent space on this cloud server than buy your own and will also have added benefits towards connectivity” is a really easy thing to understand.

As everyone is saying, I have yet to see a single even aspirational goal…

Did we play the same game? It certainly helps to know that this is inspired/an homage to a well-known book from China, but the characters are paper thin and never change or evolve. Character A hates Character B. There is a reason for this at first but, regardless of your actions, this will never change. Character B is…

You might be interested in these, then. Good reads!

I think this depends on your definition.

you know dude, you encouraged someone on this site to commit suicide 4 days ago, so I don’t think anyone needs to listen to a word you have to say, you piece of slime.

Oh yeah. Once I realized the stakes of what it is that you have to do at the very end of the game, I did several dry runs just to demonstrate to myself that it was possible and that I could do it without... uh... mishaps.

Not... really?

I recently rewatched that amazing Dead Island trailer video (the one that starts with the dead girl and time goes backwards).  That video is a LOT more harrowing now that I actually have a daughter.

Its a simple gag about how the healer, instead of doing their job, ‘helps’ by attacking, which leads to the death of their teammates. SO, basically yeah. Could be DnD, could be basically any MMO, could be Overwatch, could be a number of RPGs where you don’t explicitly control every character in your party...
