It’s not really a grind...basically playing the latest expansion story will get you up to the soft cap. They drop items that up your current weapons/armor that up your power by 10-15 at a time.

That’s the thing about Destiny, though: it presents itself that way - as though you have to grind, or it’s no fun at all - but that’s not actually the case. The vast majority of activities can be completed successfully with only halfway decent gear; there’s plenty to occupy players even if they don’t ‘grind grind…

Games aren’t made by one dude.  There’s hundreds of artists, designers, engineers, and writers contributing FAR more than what Levine has ever done.  

Survivorship bias. We’ll only ever hear about people who get rich from crypto - but almost never from people who lost money due to it.

That NFTs help artists and “content creators” is the biggest lie about this whole scam. Yeah, a few of those people become insanely rich selling NFTs, but the vast majority doesn’t, and the system is made to encourage and facilitate this, as part of its ultra-capitalist ideological background. Those who peddle NFTs nee…

Some poor people do. Many do not. And certainly not to the amount that goes into those ‘programs for the poor.’ Because the only reason those programs get enacted is because some rich people stood to benefit more. Like food stamps. Do you know why those are around? It’s not for the poor people. It’s for the megacorp…

Yeah, and while you’re at it, go walk straight into traffic.

“I don’t agree with him but he has every right to his opinions” actually means “I agree with what they say, but I’m trying to hide that from you”.

Commenting about whether the government budget should be spent on defense or domestic programs is a political discussion. When someone makes a bunch of bigoted and misogynist comments, they aren’t being political, they are just an asshole and deserve to be outed for it.

Eh, it’s the same old “of course what he said is terrible but isn’t the real terrible thing policing language?” slippery-slope saw.

I was about to post how hard the mental gymnastics would be for anyone to side/defend this chud but one of the first replies beat me to it.

For future reference: these are troll posts. You don’t need to respond to them, at all. Kotaku was GAWKER site; it was NEVER strictly about video games.

No, I don’t remember that at all. Of course, that’s because I started coming here when my previous go-to video game site was taken over by gamergaters and I checked out everyone on their boycott list and found this and two other sites that are my main gaming sites now.

CDPR absolutely screwed themselves by hyping the game as hard as they did

The thing about art is that when you buy it, you actually own it. Because it exists and has a physical origin and chain of custody which give it value on the market.

But NFTs where the resource they point to is on a fixed network like a gaming service where the sole owner of the item can be identified via a blockchain seems like a legitimate application of blockchain technology. The usage of the NFT terminology is problematic but the underlying blockchain tech could be useful to…

Literally anything with randomization is more predatory than this. Halo Infinite is overpriced. It isn’t predatory. You know exactly what you’re buying up front and get exactly what you paid for. It isn’t preying on propensities for gambling addictions, and is more minor than almost any other game in terms of preying…

Just FYI, “Age of consent in Japan is very low at 13” is a “fact” that you see often parroted around libertarian circles online but isn’t the whole truth.  While that is the minimum nationally mandated age of consent, every prefecture has their own laws that define their own age of consent; in practice, the minimum is…
