I’m 99% sure it’s this. There is too much content to ever assume a human is actively monitoring any of it for moderation purposes. Content delivery services rely on audience flagging to point moderation teams toward “rule breakers” in instances where AI isn’t enough. Moderation teams also rely on aggregators like…

It really felt like scrolling down my social media feed to read left-leaning zingers that never turn into actual substance.

“hardships are not inevitable or unfixable”

The internet didn’t do anything or change anything. It just lays bare the flaws of humanity in a more visible arena than ever existed before. Your “shut it down” nuclear approach will only work if you actually destroy all of human civilization, not simply the internet. You can't stop Nazi's by confiscating their…

Personally, I’ve found pretty much every other open-world game to be more innovative and/or have better gameplay than GTA. Sleeping Dogs, RAGE 2, Shadow of Mordor/War, Mafia, Sunset Overdrive, Saboteur, Just Cause, MGS5, Dying Light, Dead Island, Dead Rising, Mad Max, Prototype, Infamous, Watch_Dogs, Far Cry,…

Those are all pretty superficial/irrelevant changes when it comes to mission design. The missions are still rigidly linear and scripted and have zero tolerance for deviation from the designated path/area. If your missions have fail states that aren’t the result of dying, that’s antiquated mission design. We aren’t…

You can’t monopolize your own fucking storefront dude. That’s like suing McDonalds for not allowing Burger King to sell a McRib.

“Frivolous lawsuits” do effect us all. Every class-action suit that’s just a money grab (not an actual ‘fix something bad’ one) sucks money from the economy to the lawyers, adds more layers of crap to selling anything (“ok, how many more pages of disclaimers & warnings do we need to add to everything now”), provides…

You’re right, but I also have a suspicion that you’re very active on Twitter.

This is the dumbest fucking lawsuit. “We’re in the midst of a cost of living crisis and the consumer purse is being squeezed like never before...”

It’s kind of hard to push any further on a few years old mobile GPU that has to output more pixels than 4K 60 FPS and needs room for sensor processing and handling the inverse kinematics of a few dozen avatars.

Yeah that’s part of it. I believe there are 750 per platform. But also there’s the problem that they’re scattered across different regions. Plus preds don't usually solo-queue, so you get full teams of the top players vs a random assortment of lesser ranked players.

This is indeed what is happening. They changed the rank point system in season 13 because MANY people complained about “Diamond and masters are too easy to get !”. So now, 95% of the population is in gold and platinum, and the skill difference between gold 4 and platinum 1 is absolutely WILD. The distribution was much…

respect on the diligent response. some folks are upset you came with receipts, I’m glad you’re trying to keep professional game reviewers to a higher standard.

first draft they created:

That’s fair. This specific dialogue is a much larger percentage of the new trailer than it was in the story trailer. I still think the added context of the story trailer makes the dialogue significantly less cringe-worthy but if you really don’t like the dialogue, the new trailer doesn’t really offer anything else to…

hi, SoP defender here.

It looks and sounds like a fake game from a CSI episode.

Yeah, you really don’t need to explain that to us. The fact that she’s not from this world is explained pretty clearly in the trailer, and it’s also one of the most common tropes in genre fiction.

I generally try to keep things light and positive, but the whole game looks bad. It has always looked bad, and it will no doubt continue to look bad. Even the name is bad.
