Games can have have some half-assed aspects even while others are perfectly sufficient; as a story expansion for a quasi-MMO, that’s a pretty half-assed amount of story content. As a loot-and-shoot content expansion, or an endgame raid expansion, maybe singnificantly less so (I haven’t played it, so I can’t judge).

I’m not sure I’d want to put anything called an ‘Insurmountable Skullfort’ on my head - it sounds more like a place you might live in (together with your army of evil), with the walls possibly lined with the skulls of your enemies and topped with more skulls on spikes.

True, but IIRC, that was entirely for moisture reclamation, with the dried-out “remains” ending up in storage pouches on the thighs, which could then be emptied. I wasn’t saying it was impossible, I was not curious as to the actual implementation.

Depending on where exactly they shoved that catheter, having a Fleshlight function could cause all kinds of issues...

It’s shorter than “probably (but not definitely) canonical information on a fictional universe presented in an in-universe style”.

If you listen really, really closely, you can hear the battered, tortured, broken and debased remains of Bioware’s once proud form, repeatedly struggling to mouth a single phrase:

So, it’s Destiny with a walled-off single-player camp where you can talk at cardboard-cutouts using either a funny or angry tone, and they will respond with some sort of plot-advancing dialogue before forgetting everything you said the moment you leave. Oh, and they may also buy and/or sell stuff.

Kinda makes me sad - I loved the original StarCraft + Brood War’s story, and, while a Diablo 2's gameplay storytelling wasn’t perfect, those cutscenes really made the whole tale feel epic. Even in Diablo 1, while definitely being more light on plot, what was there was pretty damn solid.

I actually know someone who took this to the extreme: his company is literally just him and his son, and everything they sell is made, packaged and shipped from China, directly to Amazon warehouses. Some of their products they’ve conceptually designed, but many others were just selected from a factory catalog, and

...or eat anything.

...or eat anything.

That name alone makes me love this game, regardless of its content. It could consist of nothing but lootboxes filled with more lootboxes filled with punches to the groin, and I would still love it.

I call prejudice: you can’t just judge these things without trying them first.

I hate to be a stickler, but these are explicitly modern Neo-Nazi symbols, not Nazi symbols (One of them is even based in the English language). While both groups are/were scum, one was a historical genocidal organized political/military force, the other is a group of present-day scumbags loosely linked by a common

I haven’t actually played WoW since a few months before Cataclysm (simply couldn’t keep dedicating the time), so essentially all my knowledge of the current state of the game and lore comes from recently doing a deep-dive reading of the wiki. It essentially ended up confirming what I had thought:

Has the controller-based input been improved any with the definitive edition release?

Well, after Legion, Blizzard essentially ran out of pre-WoW characters and plot-arcs to focus an expansion on - I mean, pretty much every even remotely bad guy/girl from the RTS-era has now had their teeth kicked in as plot fodder for the MMO machine, with a number of good guys along the way who went through sudden

I just find imagining hidden horrific costs to immense wealth helps me cope with the fact that I’ll likely never achieve it myself.

It’s the true cost of his wealth - he made a deal with the devil for all the money he could spend, but in return, he has to host a colony of quasi-tooth-shaped hellbugs in his mouth for all eternity.

Because most people in the US have never travelled internationally, and have no real sense as to what the common protocol in most countries is for these situations. They assume it's no different from flying inside the US. The first time I took a flight inside the US, I was frankly shocked how lax security was (though
