Dude is on so many levels of racism he can only imagine real humans doing things as NPCs in his games that computers are already perfectly good at doing, rather than anything that enjoys the use of human intelligence, like say serving as gamesmasters, which already may involve playing NPCs from time to time. (Except…

Daleks? In EVE? Oh the Daleks are F*CKED

I dunno man, if you don’t understand the appeal of shared adversity, I got nothing that can explain it to you. Players, including me, complain endlessly about the game’s bugs. But I also spend more time in the actually-existing Star Citizen than any other game, pretty much.

Star Citizen is a pretty decent MMO to be a lone wolf in at the moment (my preferred play style).

Used the in-game control mapping so that one of the side buttons magnifies the area of the table under the pointer, the other flips whatever I’m holding, and clicking the scroll wheel puts a little arrow on the table so I can…

Check out the Team Rumble sub-mode of Battle Royale—it’s a team deathmatch style game rather than a battle royale game, so it’s a lot more fun and a lot less loading screen. Basically the only way I play, because I am also an Old.
