It’s that stupid “perks-as-a-stats-system” bullshit they’ve been trying to flog for ages. I don’t feel like I’m growing or shaping my character; I just feel like I’m ticking a stupid box so I can go do something.

STALKER’s A-Life handled ecosystems much better nearly 20 years ago. 

That’d make sense if Lords of the Fallen dramatically changes the standard Soulsborne combat loop like Sekiro - and to an extent Lies of P - did, but it doesn’t. I also don’t see many of the reviews at all making that complaint, instead attributing the problems to ‘false’ difficulty like cheap traps and an…

This sucks. I was almost ready to buy it. I figure people are probably sick of generic dark high fantasy, but I love the aesthetic. But this sounds a little shaky for me to commit to the price up front. Gonna have to wait for a sale down the road. At least they did better than the original. Maybe third time will be…

It’s a real mystery.

I’m not a businessman and I don’t have access to Activision-Blizzards books.

But I have just never seen a franchise completely destroy their ill will like Overwatch had. They had a good thing going giving regular updates to the base game, but between constant aggressive meta changes, destroying the original game, and…

Yes, when I have a flat tire, it’s always with a pre-production car that I abandon and cover with a tarp.

the way actor’s brains work is so special.

I really dig and appreciate the art aesthetic. Everything is visually very clear and colorful, almost like a 25 year upgrade to a game like Banjo Kazooie. Too many developers rely on out-of-the-box lighting engines that all tend wash out colors in favor of a fake HDR/RTX effect on everything. This keeps the palette…

“I think when some people look at this robot they see a useless gadget,“ Kriegman said. “I see the birth of a brand new organism.”

I was surprised when Sombra was added in Overwatch 1 given Jeff Kaplan’s hate boner for Team Fortress 2's Spy. Then again, they did so after removing the things they hated the most about Spy: the disguises and insta-kill backstab.

All of this leads to her one new ability called Virus, which is a skill shot move that damages enemies over time. If you’ve already landed a hack or EMP on an enemy, the Virus will do more damage.

Eh, the character hasn’t been much fun to play since the changes were made for OW2. The gameplay loop with the translocator wasn’t really rewarding or fun, and what was fun about her in OW1 (perfect foil to ball and Reaper) wasn’t fun anymore with the single tank and 1-second special ability hack duration. The damage…

Ban casinos now.

This...is actually pretty amazing. I hate that it’s exclusive to a bundle, but it’s absolutely wild that they put it in at all. 

How is your own website not an appropriate outlet to post whatever you want…?

I got laid off from Amazon in November. They paid me through mid January, and then I got 13 weeks of severance pay and cashed out my vacation days. Sounds sick, right? Good on them. Know what I’d rather have had? My job. How’s Amazon doing these days, by the way?

I don’t care what’s on his resumé, or how long his list of “achievement” is. Elon Musk is easily the dumbest human being to ever become a billionaire.

Oh the same Epic that is paying boat loads of money to game devs to keep their games EGS exclusive? That took their games off mobiles because they didn’t want to pay the App Store cuts?

That completely reasonable Epic games that has a game store that bleeds money but keeps insisting on throwing more and more cash…
