We can afford to spend $70 billion buying a company, but can’t afford to pay 10,000 people!

As always, take these specs with a grain of salt. Devs/pubs always overestimate the hardware required. Or they base their specs on specific features that are absurdly expensive (e.g. ray-tracing). This is an AMD-sponsored game so no DLSS, meaning raytracing is basically non-viable unless you’re using a 4090.

I usually only snap when I have a mission that requires it. Which results in me forgetting to snap even when I meant to. I really should take to snapping immediately.

people have always been like and into this stuff. the internet has just made people (like you in this case) more aware of it.

it was short-lived but imo that he avoided scrutiny by refraining from nefarious bullshit (the dink doink coin fiasco aside) and focused more on his boxing and wrestling careers constituted a nascent (if ultimately flat) redemption arc. doesn’t matter though since he’s still doing scummy shit

“Paul, who’s been on something of a redemption arc these last few years following the “suicide forest” fiasco in December 2017"

What possible sequence of events could have occurred for you to put forward the suggestion that Paul has been on ‘a redemption arc’ beyond the bare minimum of not going back to a suicide…

It was actually good. The gameplay was fun (and you bet I turned the difficulty down for boss fights) and the story was just as good. No masterpiece, but this is star wars. Good vs evil, some friendship, yada yada.

should be a hotkey. One of the F buttons. Can press it anytime during dialogue when you’re getting bored.

Yes this is legit amazing. I love Mass Effect but many of Shepard’s speeches could only be improved by an air horn playing after they give them.

Sub-Zero: “Cool your expectations.”
Scorpion: “Get over it.”
Mileena: “This bites.”
Kitana: “I’m not a fan of this.”
Sindel: “I could scream.”
Johnny Cage: “What a punch to the balls.”
Raiden: “Shocking.”
Liu Kang: “ *unintelligible turkey noises*”

I generally agree with this article, but as both a Deck and Switch owner, I’ve discovered that there are strengths of both.

I have the opposite experience.

Switch games generally just work well out of the box. Steamdeck games often have a bit of fiddling to get working. I love being able to play God of War on my deck (even if the controller isn’t great for it), but having to play with settings on it or having to fiddle with shit to get…

Sucks for the Chinese players who will lose access to the games, but otherwise...awesome. Fuck working with the CCP and screw a lot of the behavior and decisions by ATVI. China makes up a tiny part of their overall revenue (3% for the company, and apparently around 10% for Blizzard), but after shit like the…

These are the people who run lights and speed without consideration. I assure you that they are just as dangerous as the asshats in Altimas.

It’s not a 100% win-rate but when I see someone has spotted my move deck and is playing against it, I’ll typically just not play Heimdall. Or, stack my locations so that Heimdall doesn’t actually move any cards but adds 8 to his location. I keep 1-2 cards that wouldn’t otherwise fit in a movement deck, like Sunspot,…

When Heimdall is played well, it’s a thing of beauty. But move decks are incredibly easy to spot, since they use cards like Multiple Man, Vulture, Kraven, etc. that don’t work in other decks.

I had a hand this morning where we both played Hobgoblin concurrently on sewer. Dumbest thing I’d seen and I fucking loved it. We just both started spamming the Spidey sticker. I don’t even remember who won.

To all the greys insisting that her *other* career is how she should be identified:

Welp, there goes any sympathy I had.
