This has been a really in your face issue since the first week. Day 1 and 2, prices were somewhat inflated as only a handful of people per server were stocking the market with higher tier stuff.

By the end of the first week, items that were previously averaging 200-300 gold per unit were selling for around 3 gold,…

There’s a card you can get fairly early I think, which makes you immune to friendly fire and deal no friendly fire while crouching, it feels mandatory for playing Quickplay at any difficulty with FF enabled.

No, it’s just that people who want to sell them want you to think there’s a large market of people who want to buy them.

Value was the incorrect choice of word on my part. What I meant to suggest was that a turnip can be eaten and a Pokemon card can be used to play a game. They have a function beyond being used as vehicle of monetary value.

I think calling them appreciable assets is generous. Pokemon cards, stocks, and tulip bulbs all have value or confer partial possession of a thing of value. An NFT is like if I rip of a piece of paper and hand you a scrap for $10,000 while insisting it is very valuable, but then at least you would have something…

Basically you bought a receipt that points to a URL someone else owns where the image in question is hosted. Yes, it can be defeated by uh, right clicking and saving the image.

AND DON’T BE A BUDDY FUCKER!

Scenario: You’ve just ignored the big red warning label AND the ping from the team’s Karlee that the door you’re sprinting towards is rigged with an alarm. You smash that door wide open and a horde of walkers begins to pour through.

GET OUT OF THE DOORWAY! The sheer amount of friendly fire…

Yeah, think of it like a roguelike, sort of. If you rejoin the host and pick up that specific run later, you’ll have your cards and loadouts from when you left off.

If you join a run in progress or start a run at a later checkpoint, it seems to give you some extra cards to account for the fact that you haven’t been…

right, I did not say anything to the contrary. Nickelodeon has plenty of money. An indie developer with one marginally successful title under their belt doesn’t have a ton of money. I have no idea how much money the publisher has, but it’s apparent they were not interested in fronting royalty or licensing fees for the…

Legally, a former employer called as a prospective reference cannot disclose any information about your employment except to confirm that you worked there and when.

This is why some states are trying to implement legislation to end qualified immunity and create statewide databases of cops found to have committed civil…

The EEOC “requiring” ABK to engage in activity that obfuscates the investigation of CA labor department is a favor to ABK, not a penalty.

The devs have pretty strongly implied there are financial barriers associated with Nick itself that prevented the inclusion of voice acting. They’re a small indy team and it seems like Nick was not willing to front the cost of bringing in new VA work. I’ve seen folks ask why they don’t just use audio pre-recorded from…

What? It’s a developer with a long history of involvement in the competitive Smash world. The fight mechanics exhibit a strong understanding of the appeal of competitive Smash and while many character mechanics are derivative, the actual movesets are love letters to the IPs they reflect (No This Is Patrick as a down…

Like most folks, I thought it was cool and novel and new when Bungie sold a disc with 9 new maps for Halo 2. It was a little alarming a few years later when Bethesda sold horse armor for $2.99.

And now look where we are.

Kotick is nightmarishly rich with the connections and owed favors that come with that and I’m convinced at this point that the wrist-slap EEOC settlement is a set up to generate headlines about ABK reaching a settlement while giving them a little tax break with those leftover funds and legal coverage to destroy more…

California is the 5th largest economy in the world and the combined scale of the state judiciary, executive, and legislative branches exceed that of many countries. Individual city council members in California are responsible for governing more people than governors in some other states.

California has also, to some…

It doesn’t take hours of grinding specific materials to transmog things unless you transmog a LOT of things. You get a bunch of stuff just by playing the game.

Vaulting half the content in the game sucks a lot though. I just convinced someone to pick up the game and they just purchased Forsaken at FULL PRICE which will…

As a Destiny stan, I will tell you it is an incredibly stupid content model.

I’ve been something of a Bungie superfan for a long while and carried a lot of water for Destiny among my gaming group but this is inexcusable at this point and if they keep this up I don’t think I can keep supporting this company. It’s exploitive to keep deleting content that people paid for and it makes it…

Yeah, this is gonna be weird. A big part of playing battlefield cooperatively has been the class dynamic. You look at that gunner and you know he can throw you ammo if you need it. You see that medic hiding in the corner and you know it’s safe to peek a corridor. Not sure how that can translate w/ the specialist…
