Fuck the haters. I love this show. It presents the world of Star Trek in a very different package, but that’s much more refreshing than them doing a TNG rehash. It moves at a very fast pace, which I’m fine with. The characters are all interesting and consistent (Except for some small gripes I had with Saru in this…

More or less my exact same reaction.

My mom died back in June. Cancer. She fought it over the course of two years. Had surgery. We thought it was gone. It came back. From there she had chemo and radiation, almost died from the treatments but made it through. Thought it was gone. Came back. When it came back the second time it advanced hard and fast, and…

I’m on your side here, but you using the Souls games is a bad example. Those games had expansions that added on to what the total story had been. The DLC wasn’t out for them on release. The issue, and where the “Real price” of the game is extended is with day one-DLC, microtransactions, and lootboxes.

I don’t think I’ve ever spent more than $30 for the complete editions of any Souls game.

If they didn’t think they were going to be effective I doubt they would have put them in the game...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you don’t seem like the type of person who would buy loot boxes under normal circumstances, were it not for their job. These sorts of schemes are not meant to sway those who can resist this…

I’m not taking points off for the bio concept being too advanced yet for a couple simple reasons.

Oh. Okay.

WHERE YOU AT?

But knowing I gotta spend another $20 on top of whatever I pay for the game or else have to spend time I don’t have or want to spend to level up my character because progression through non-monetary means is way too slow keeps me away.

Usually someone has NBA 2Kxx on sale for $25 on Black Friday. That’s how I got 2K17. I got 2K16 for free as a PS+ monthly game. Both times I spent money for VC boosts because I felt I hadn’t invested too much. And if these games were $25 right out of the gate, I’d pick them up on launch. But knowing I gotta spend…

I’d pay $10 for Beast Kissing Simulator

It looks like they’re kissing.

Yeah. Usual booster costs about $15, but despite that, the cost of keeping up with the meta is still much, much lower than a CCG.

So the difference between LCGs and CCGs is that the “boosters” are basically mini expansion sets. Containing a playset of fifteen cards, that are released every few months. All the boosters from that set have the same cards in them so there’s no “gambling” on cards and there’s no rarity.

The glass had to be an inch thick on those things.

19 was C64, but I was using it as a monitor for my PS2. I got the C64 when I was 8 or so, I think, and it had been out for a good while.
Was in mid 20s for the Wii incident.

I was like nineteen.
