This can’t be said enough. We’ve voiced our displeasure at myopic, click-bait, edge-lord articles by nearly everyone at Splinter. I can think of specific moments where HamNo, Rafi and Katherine have posted some really terrible, half-baked shit and I’ve let them know. The fact that Libby is a young woman has fuckall to…

I think you’re missing his point which is:

That’s the dream... Some day maybe.

Nothing can stop the Bortlesing and you damn well know it.

The only rpg elements it’s ever had are equipment/resource systems. Those systems are much better/more engaging/more rpg-esque now. You can actually create builds now sort of. But yeah, overall it’s still very rpg-light, shooty-heavy.

If you got it through PS+ I’m pretty sure all you got was the base game, not Forsaken. That said, if you were underwhelmed by your experience I wouldn’t recommend buying the expansion content. It’s more engaging, has a darker tone and offers some fun challenges even for solo players but I think you’d have to enjoy…

All I can tell you is the game is very different in ways far too numerous to list here. When Forsaken goes on sale to a price point where you’re comfortable I’d encourage you to give it another shot.

That’s a good way to describe it. I’m a sucker for the gun play. Haven’t found another shooter that makes different weapons feel so different. Rocket launchers feel big and unwieldy, sidearms feel snappy and light, etc.

Paul didn’t. RIP.

Destiny 2. It’s really good now I swear.

But the “fuck the unwritten rules” one is objectively good and is play-off themed, right?

Brush your teeth before or after your morning coffee? My partner calls me a monster for waiting until after coffee.

The r/NBA thread about this was absolutely abhorrent until the mods shut it down.

It’s pretty standard interview procedure to check references and entrails. Nothing to see here.

I mod a competitive PvP clan.

I mean, there’s a cogent comment in there too and that’s probably what got them approved, but holy shit is it mostly deeply awful. My fav is the one claiming white privilege doesn’t exist despite mountains of evidence it does.

Charitably put: You’re really deeply misguided.

Defending a deleted tweet means you stand on a principle only until your stance incurs some sort of ramification which means you don’t really embody said principle.

This discussion sprouted out of the fact that there are too many games. The scheduling emphasis on divisions/conferences is a significant part of that. They’re unimportant otherwise, but for this topic, they’re quite meaningful.

There are 30. And yea, that all sounds great but NA sports culture is pretty entrenched in the idea of divisions and conferences. If any sport does ditch it all I’d bet on the NBA doing it first, baseball last, if ever.
