Fixing the Ivy Tunnel stairs is most important patch note, don’t care about anything else.

He should probably apply that bandage to that hideous pubic hair ‘beard’ now.

I take Amtrak frequently up and down the west coast for a couple reasons:

This is a fair point - it seems like it’s for the user but it’s more about dev outreach, maybe to justify that 30% cut.

Do you have some sort of wide-range weapon, like the chem launcher, that’s doing it? Because they’re skittish and run away and thankfully the drone and turret won’t target them. I guess if you’re using an LMG you could get some collateral.

I don’t care about who’s ‘evil’ or not here, and EGS is certainly very primitive at the moment. My point is that the Steam client is a long neglected, terrible UI piece of junk that they’ve had over a decade to make tolerable and haven’t. And they have billions of dollars, so money and resources aren’t an excuse.

Yeah, I’m sure there’s a lot of behind the scenes activity, but it’s interesting that right after Epic Store starts eating Steam’s lunch they suddenly announce one of the few user centered client upgrades we’ve seen in a long time. As a user, the client is primitive, long-neglected, ugly crap that needs a complete…

Yes, even if the company has been terrible I start resolutely polite. Usually it gets taken care of, maybe because they’re so relieved to be dealing with someone who’s not attacking them.

‘OHSHI Epic Games store guess we better get back to work on this heap o junk’

Apparently only when you hit lvl 30 and now you’re in the ‘play forever’ phase.  I thought for sure one of mine flipped after I totally neglected it, but other people say that doesn’t happen in early game.

Yeah, they have their little patrols that go out and resupply.

They run away as soon as they notice you, so you’d never get close enough to pet them without shooting them first - though it’d be nice to have pettable dogs at the settlements!

All dogs in this game just run away as soon as they notice you.  If they were Far Cry animals, yes, all must die - just because they attack on sight.

They don’t explain this very well at all (a lot of things aren’t explained well at all, like how to respond to those stupid ‘Agent needs assistance!’ popups), but if you don’t resupply control points they will eventually be re-taken by the bad guys when their resources hit zero.

I noticed this early on - a deer on the road, and suddenly I have a dilemma. I want to know if shooting a deer will actually kill it. But I don’t want to shoot the poor deer - it’s got enough problems.

Yes, got it on my shelf - and now I see prices for that have spiked.

It is Terri as Shodan (she is Shodan), so at least there’s that.

Yasunori Mitsuda is just the best video game composer of all time - and I know there’s a lot of excellent competition like Hitoshi Sakamoto, Inon Zur, Koji Kondo, but he just consistently nails it. And Xenogears: Creid is the single best game related soundtrack ever, though there’s a lot more competition for that.

Unfortunately they do, overwhelmingly. We who want to just buy a game for $60 are the minority freaks.

Technically it’s quite doable, and they’ve got the infrastructure. The problem as always is that Google gets bored real fast and moves on to chasing the next shiny thing.  They need to actually be committed to this to make it work, and for that to happen it’s got to be central to their ad delivery strategy (search,…
