It amazes me that Valve can sit on a mountain of player metrics but be unable to fix this. 

You’re not sure what makes a decades-long history in the US Senate advocating for policies that would objectively improve millions of people’s quality of life a more “real” job than a freaking internet streamer?
K, bub. Also Bernie absolutely IS held to a higher standard, and has actively lived up to that higher…

neoliberal sellout chasing clout with socialism-lite talking points

Online battles were a part of the original Diamond and Pearl too.

I’m still quite early in the game, but the inaccessible area thing was one of the first things I ran into. Picked up a mission, headed through an area of kinda-tough overleveled enemies to get to the elevator and find out it was locked. Uh. Thanks I guess.

It’s a gorgeous game, absolutely, and the gunplay is plenty competent, powers get pretty interesting and fun, but damnit if it isn’t plagued with a lot of issues. And not just bugs, but straight up design issues, missions in particular. Anyone that’s played at least two hours has probably run into the same issue, side…

My copy of Hades for PS5 arrives next week. Finally I get to see what all the hype is about.

Hmmm. Maybe because vulture capital is stripping the site(s) for parts.

Sometimes art just speaks to you.

These people also appoint other non-industry staff to work at offices, answer emails and ‘deal’ with the companies (member dues…

I love it.

I didn’t have ‘Pinkertons start gunning down American workers’ on my ‘what part of forgotten history will we relive this year?’ card, but I can’t say I’m too surprised.  Fight on workers, last time it got us weekend, hour limits, workplace safety standards and more, if we’re going to repeat the shitty parts of…

Now this is some fine art

This game is AMAZING.
