All of them. No exceptions.

In his spare time, he’s been writing books. Almost all of them are about Deerirons, the place where he’s been living for hundreds of years. Here are a few of the titles:

In a game all about difficulty, I’m not sure how I feel about it being easier/more forgiving. Part of the achievement of a good run was the management of your resources. Do I splurge for that gun or do I buy that key and a heart and roll the dice with that treasure? I have one key but am all out of ammo, do I use it

It’s gotta boil over at some point. Players are frustrated but they keep coming back. The game has had potential for almost 4 years now, but Bungie just can’t get it right.

While carrying 600 passengers was impressive in its day, advances in airline understanding of comfort allows them to fit that many economy seats into a Cessna these days. What amazing times we live in!

PERFECT. Now to make a big ‘ol computer that looks like the tractor beam pillar.

It’s fucking amazing that *anybody* voted for a POS child molester who wants to bring back slavery and take the vote away from women. I mean, wtf, do the Repubs have to run Satan himself before the Dems can win back control of the government. Fuck!

Holy shit. It was not fun watching Roy Moore hold a lead for the entire night. Though it was satisfying to have it reverse with less than 10% of precincts left. Huzzah for meeting some basic level of human decency in Alabama.

yes, this article was written by an advertising person, not a gamer.. a VPN would make any online game unplayable.

Some day we will have the fine adjustments that will allow me to take my normal commute (via the Dulles Toll Road) but also avoid the 495 and other toll express lanes.

I’m kind of surprised they rate Japanese as bring as difficult to learn as Chinese. In my experience, Japanese is significantly easier to learn for an English speaker. Mandarin has sounds which are difficult for English ears to differentiate and English tongues to pronounce. Plus there’s all the tonal variability.

Holy shit, Overwatch is THE reason why we’re where we are in 2017. You can argue about TF2 or major mobile game companies like Supercell being the major pushers of this type of monetization, but those are “free to play”(lol) games with crates. Blizzard showed the world and all triple A developers that you can also

How far does society need to go to protect those with the least willpower and impulse control? At what point do people need to take responsibility for their own decisions?

I love Rocket League and I generally dislike EA, but to be honest Rocket League is perhaps the very worst of all of the loot boxes I’ve seen. They add so much hype to it: an actual jackpot reel, bright colours, sound effects... it’s hard to imagine anything more likely to induct kids into an adrenaline loop with

I’m more happy to see this MEME has outlived so many others.

Overwatch lootboxes while more acceptable from a gaming perspective because they are cosmetic only, still falls under the same predatory tactics that Rep Lee describes. They’re still no different in making people want to spend money or having a random nature that leads to one making more purchases.

Take Overwatch for example

I was playing some Rocket League, just bought it yesterday or so. And I KNEW it had microtransactions right? Fair enough with 5$ microsoft gift and on sale I got it for 5$(xbox one).. nice deal, bought a 1$ DLC car.. fair enough.

Happy to see the loot box issue getting more attention.
