I feel exactly the same way. I love his books, but sometimes I get the impression that he structures some of his scenes the same way a game master plans an encounter. It’s not a bad source of inspiration, but it can feel really forced. Most of the time I find it amussing, but some times it can be distracting.

Yes, it is definitively thing, it has improved over the past years, but it’s still a problem. There are quite a few people in the “geek” and “nerd” communities that see proper grooming and personal hygiene as something that’s just for “normies”. I suspect this attitude is because they associate those activities to (in…

I’m seriously conflicted about this.
On one hand, as an aspiring author, these AI writing tools have pretty much made me give up on my dream of writing a novel. Sure, current AIs are clumsy and easy to spot, but for how long? It’s only a matter of time before they write in such a way that it’s impossible to tell a…

I’m having a blast with this game, and I also agree with every single point that you made. I’ve never hated and loved a game so much. I really want it to succeed and become the awesome Warhammer 40k game it can be, but on the other hand, I just can’t forgive fatshark greed and deception, they lied about the features…

I hated the brothers SO much...it took me several times to beat them. Nipulon on the other hand only took me one try. It was by far the most creative boss fight compared with all the others. 

I got the game with gamepass, and it is...ok. I love battlefield and for some reason I can’t quite point out this one is not filling me with the same feeling of epic battles that I felt with other battlefields. It’s fine for the occasional game, but not something I would sink too much time in. Also, if the game in its…

Curious and very concerning. I’m not Gen Z, but I grew up with videogames and adopted social media early on (only to mostly abandon it afterwards). I had a very different impression when I was young, I believed that we were all background NPCs desperately wanting to be the protagonist. Now as an adult I understand…

I love the anime, so much in fact that it made me seriously consider buying the game. I haven’t played it due to all the negative reviews and videos I saw with the bugs and missing features. That said, I do believe the game has potential, but after watching some more videos, it still feels shallow in many areas. I’m…

I still believe that there’s no excuse for how the game was released, that said I’m happy that the game is still being updated and that there are DLCs planned. I honestly thought that the company would abandon it and that the modding community would have to save it. In any case, I’m still going to wait for the…

I am absolutely convinced that there’s no human behavior that can’t be reproduced by an AI, it’s just a matter of time. That said, from all the tasks that will eventually be automated, I always thought that art would be the last. I suppose that in the end, creativity is just another set of patterns that can be…

I get more depressed when I remember that we live in a system designed to make everyone replaceable, which is usually.

As time passes, I’m more and more convinced that the developers are going to abandon this game after patching all bugs (or most of them). After all, the vast majority of people who were going to purchase it already have it. What incentive do they have to add extra content? No, my only hope rests on the shoulders of…

I agree, and I play the game that way. The part that pisses me off is Ubisfot underhanded attempt at trying to have everything, pretend they aren’t doing it and treat us like we’re too stupid to notice. They want all the benefits of having both positions, non-political and political game, without compromising to…

I understand the feeling, I didn’t know why I felt that way till I accepted something about the game: Winning is not the point in disco Elysium, neither is the failure, all that matters is getting to the end and how you get there. To really enjoy Disco Elysium, you have to embrace every roll without fear of failure…

Absolutely agree, my harry became a moralist with the “kingdom of conscience” because it resonated with me. Seeing the faults in the ideology, or its failures, made me more critical of my own moral and political standing. It was uncomfortable, sure, but that’s the point of the game in my opinion.

Seriously, what did they expect? Online game + teen player base + freedom = toxic behavior and trolls, always. In fact, I’m surprised that it wasn’t worse. They shouldn’t have allowed any kind of emote from the beginning. You can’t trust them to behave when you present an opportunity to stand out, specially with…

This is my hope as well. The potential was always there, but their inexperience and a small budget have always held them back. I really want this game to be their big breakthrough in the RPG camp. Bioware needs some serious competition besides Skyrim and the witcher. 

Wow, I honestly can say that if you hadn’t said she was CG I would have taken her for a real model. It’s scary just how much the technology has advanced. I wonder how close to movies and media featuring realistic CG actors exclusively.

The most important question here is this: Will it have mod support? If I can’t play the Star Trek new horizons mod then I’m not interested.

You just made me a very happy person.
