I agree with most of what you said but this game does have a lot of friction for new players. I put a ton of time into World and had a blast but I’m so glad I had a friend to teach me some of it. A lot of the game is just trying weapons, killing stuff to make new stuff, and gathering all the things, but I was…

Well usually if there’s a bunch of dislikes it at least raises a flag.

One of the channels I sub to, guy streams on twitch and uploads vods to youtube as daily videos. He got paid to do a sponsored stream on twitch and the sponsor asked him to edit down the youtube video since it had been a 2+ hour stream. The subs…

No, no I get that. What I meant was at least you could still buy the full version on GoG. Unless it’s missing something that I’m unaware of. I haven’t played it in a while.

Still sucks when source code is lost or destroyed but at least there is a version out there besides the bad HD version.

Apologies if someone mentioned this already but this situation really reminds me of the 11foot8 bridge camera. https://www.youtube.com/c/yovo68/videos

Doesn’t GoG have it? https://www.gog.com/game/heroes_of_might_and_magic_3_complete_edition

It’s got both expansions. Seems to be identical to the one I still own on disc from a billion years ago. What am I missing here?

I get that. I kinda like digital titles on a handheld system because it’s like taking the library with you wherever you go, but sometimes I regret not buying physical copies later.

Example: I got new horizons digitally because they delayed my shipment and I wasn’t going to be able to get it on launch day. Usually that…

The only thing that makes me sad about the ps store closing is that there’s not been a remake/remaster of Muramasa. The DLC for that game was amazing and now anyone buying it won’t be able to check it out. Hopefully if vanillaware ever releases it again (like they did recently with dragon crown and odin sphere) they’ll…

All my old NES, SNES, PSX, etc games still work fine. The only issues I’ve run into with my older games was the battery going dead on my one copy of pokemon blue, which makes saving impossible. The sega saturn battery was notorious for this. But I’ve lucked out so far maybe.

I actually feel like newer games might be…

Nah, that sounds like work.

now there’s a line of thinking I can get behind

Though it has to be said, Discord is actually monetized. You don’t have to pay to use it, but there is a paid sub called Nitro. It seems more beneficial to people who maintain their own discord servers, but I’ve been tempted to pay for it a few times just to remove the…

That’s still kinda missing the point. I’m not trying to be a jerk, so don’t think I’m being mean or anything. I just don’t understand what comparing two entirely different things is supposed to mean.

Comparing Skype or Slack to Discord? Sure, makes sense, they’re similar products that offer different things. But…

That’s a weird comparison to make. 

Yeah, I think when they crammed ads into skype that was the last straw for me. I jumped ship to discord and never looked back. If anyone does end up buying it, I hope they just leave it alone. It’s in a good spot atm. 

Eh, depends on what you’re watching I guess. The only show I watched last year was Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken and it had none of that. It was just a show about passionate people making things and the joy of imagination and animation.

That’s right. She’s got the “munchies” for a California Cheeseburger.

Making me think of Viscera Cleanup Detail. There’s something nice about cleaning up an ungodly mess. It’s like the harvest moon thing. Farming is boring and a lot of hard work but doing it in a game is super chill.

I kinda joke with my friends that Attack on Titan blew up because there are way more people into vore than we realized. Show was pretty creepy and interesting when it started but nothing seemed to happen so I fell off it pretty fast. I hear the new season is really good though so hey, maybe they’re going to stick the…

Same. It’s just the best feeling when a game makes moving around in the environment feel fun. Obviously gotta play the game when it’s done to know, but it’s got the right kind of momentum and animation so it looks the part.

if game of thrones taught me anything it’s that nobody wants to pay for HBO

Not always. Some sets do and some don’t, you gotta check the sets for details. They’re usually pretty expensive too.
