Oh shit, I didn’t realize that was her! The show was an absolute disaster, but there were some mostly actor-driven highlights in it and she and Lance Reddick were definitely two of them.

From the bits I’ve heard, she did a fantastic job with an otherwise mediocre script and she has a ton to be proud of. A lot of the lines that wouldn’t really work, work when she delivers them (credit to whoever did the directing too, probably). Honestly her VO (even if it often comes while locked in place and talking…

Wild to me that folks already super rich like, just can’t fucking stop themselves.

Does it? I don’t hang around the weeb circles much anymore (I used to be a weeb and I wish I still had time to be into anime but alas) so I can’t speak to those, but from my tangential involvement with friends that still are I’ve never experienced it. All I’ve seen is usually no different han your usual harmless…

Gotta hang around the horny parts of the internet, my dude. If your libido ain’t active, this ain’t your scene.

As a longtime support/healer (and also tank) player in online games, it’s interesting since there are a lot of overlaps here with why I gravitate towards those roles. I take more of the Kevin Smith approach to the topic (pretty sure I’m mostly cis/straight...mostly, but I’ve been around for at least three decades and…

Well that’s all awful.

On the one hand, this is so on-brand for the TV show itself and the reality TV industry and all so like...literally what did any of these people expect? I don’t even watch a ton of reality TV and its scripted nature is painfully obvious. This is so absolutely perfect of an example of the rot within that industry,…

Depends on the MMO, they all have their “grinds” but the grinds are different. You’ve got your EQ/WoW-esque games where it’s all bout linear progression and chasing better gear all the time (though WoW’s latest expansion DRAMATICALLY reduced grinding and the need for farming so even those games are changing), but…

The live-service market is catching up to what happened to the MMO market around a decade ago and the glut of games all vying for our money and time was simply unsustainable, especially with the number still being released. Infinite growth doesn’t exist, nor does infinite time and games keep asking for daily…

DAOC’s been running continuously, even after Broadsword broke off and Mythic was shuttered. I think it did a F2P transition, but like a lot of those old MMO’s it’s still kicking. Hell, Everquest 1 is one of the most successful titles for Daybreak.

Mostly yeah. I don’t fully keep up with the ever-changing lexicon at WSB (it’s really dumb) so I just get a few phrases that are stupid yet easy enough to understand to use to mock them.

Given the online nature I think there was a reasonable expectation this would be supported for more than a year, but it seems the financial realities of the game performing well but not doing gangbusters ended those plans. Which makes sense and is totally understandable.

Tons of projects that go nowhere as executives or leads follow shiny objects and temporary trends, gross overspending on fluff shit (seriously, the amount of waste in the corporate/tech world when it comes to money is absurd and could easily bring a small nation out of poverty), having bad people in charge who don’t…

I hate that the GME apes on reddit legit don’t give a single fuck about how their quest to get rich by DIAMOND HANDSING shares in anticipation of the MOASS or whatever that’s been ANY DAY NOW for the past like 2 years.

Why couldn’t they make it a touch bigger?

This is so silly. 40 inches is no longer “average” for a waste? Maybe in America where we’re largely more overweight/obese on average than the rest of the world, but that’s a separate problem and not something that should exactly be made easier given the health risks associated with obesity. My wasteline got almost…

Probably a good idea not to treat staged HR recruiting videos as reality : P

That $2B they spent buying Rift like a decade ago is seeming like an absolute steal.

Ye, I’m glad they release everything on PC since that’s primarily where I game anyways, heh. I still believe it was part of their strategy to fight back after the bad start last gen, but it’s done well for them and it’s pushed Sony to follow suit. Not as much, they delay releases and don’t release everything, but it’s…
