The art in the tweet included not just depictions of , , and , but also the mech shooter Armored Core, one of the studio’s much beloved but long dormant franchises.

Cause no company in the history of this industry has ever failed to implement features in a follow up title, right? No company has ever delivered a product unfinished. No company has ever tried to sell us basic features as microtransactions. ActivBlizz is too big, nay... too great to make any of those mistakes,…

Indeed it is. Sometimes I’ll see a post I made and it feels like ages ago.

Are you working for the debtor to pay back your mortgage or car loan? Are you working without pay in order to pay that back? Then no, those are not indentured servitude.

Not all weapons can be greased. If you are using certain weapons like boss ones or some others already containing elemental damage, you can’t buff them with grease items. Same applies with weapon buff spells.

How so?

They are not stating that the ubisoft games are always online. They are stating that those games that are so, are terrible for the reason being displayed here, loss of servers and support. What they do not specify is exactly why. They are not combining the two types of games as one group, they are using one to make a…

There was no conflating of the two. It is deductive reasoning. They were using the current end of service to illustrate the point that always online will inevitably have this issue and thus, ultimately has no benefit for the end user.

A simple look at the wiki could have bridged the knowledge gap for such a short summarization but clearly that wasn’t considered.

Long story short, the settlement by EEOC was approved. ACTIBLIZ gets a pretend slap on the hand along with a wink and nod while the workers continue to get shafted. Shocking outcome, I know.

And suddenly thousands of IT technicians cried out in horror...

Man, the speedrunning community continues to amaze me... a game that took me 130+ hours to beat on the first go around has been reduced to 18 minutes... Granted thats completionist vs going straight to end boss, but its still bonkers to me.

Communications fraud didn’t really begin until around the 70s or so, which is well after the mass adoption of the home telephone which was closer to the beginning of the century. But yes as things became more efficient, cheaper and faster, it became more of a problem and with blockchain as you say, people already had…

Yes, I was. To illustrate the incorrect generalization you are making. See the last sentence of my previous post. Telemarketing let alone the fraudulent aspect of cold calls and robocalls that we see today didn’t occur until long after the introduction of the telephone, and the others... shorter timeframes…

Oh yea, I forgot how ENIAC was used to scam people, ARPANET was a bastion of degenerates, and don’t even get me started on Hopper and her cobol... the vile things they did with that in the beginning...

No, i got that point. Mine was that maybe allowing or fostering toxic behavior in developing children ends up with toxic adults.

I found an instance of this last week over behind Gurrang. After jumping down to some lower levels you can land on a ledge around the pillars and get the same thing. I slapped a message down there but so far no one seemed to have found it yet. By the sounds of it, there is probably a lot of spots like this…

Hmm... Kids in the 90s are now grown adults.

People are going to discuss stuff when a game comes out. The writers are going to put the topic of the article in the title. Both of these are common occurrences and should be expected. If you are so spoiler averse with new games, it would probably make sense to not visit a website that its sole purpose is to discuss…

Welcome to the wonderful age of meme humor. Where you take a mildy amusing thing and repeat it so frequently until it so far removed from being funny that it just becomes tragic and then continue to repeat it well beyond that. Really takes the whole beating a dead horse thing to astonishing levels...
