I’m currently playing it with some friends on a self hosted server. Some things really speak for it:

Chernobyl is embarrassing to the USSR. I bet schools don’t teach it, or it’s a single paragraph in their history books. It’s Russia’s Tulsa.

I’ve heard reporting that some of the soldiers there hadn’t even heard of the Chernobyl accident.

As per BBC reporting, the Russian soldiers that took over Chernobyl drove their tanks thru the Red Forest kicking up radioactive dirt in the process. Soldiers never wore protective suits and had no clue why Chernobyl was in the state it was in. Soldiers also began digging trenches around the nuclear plant. The reason…

It unsettles me that knifing this guy in the back is what makes Microsoft the hero of this story, but it is 2022.

Yeah, I think purging with fire is probably going to be the smartest way that MS can navigate this acquisition. I’m also betting we will see some major changes with their org structure after the deal is completed.

Its laughable to believe Microsoft wants anything to do with Bobby Kotick or honestly the vast majority of staff at Activision.

cryptocurrency and NFTs are a scam.

Why are people so anti-union when they work jobs that could only benefit from unionization?

In case you were wondering how this was received:

Thanks for continuously reporting these stories (and the memos). The more it’s out there, the more they can’t run from it. Keep this issue visible.

LOL… this article does feel like it exists just to bash on Blizzard some more. I don’t think anyone is surprised that Diablo II still feels like Diablo II.  Especially given it is mostly a remaster with a small number of tweaks thrown in.

A tear runs down my cheek seeing what the game has become, it really does. I get that the original idea for what this game could be just couldn’t work for whatever reason, but goddamn do I wish it had. They asked the community what it wanted, and of course it was all the things people had seen in other games; of…

So happy they’ve stuck with the game and added so much more, only thing I’d like to see is a robust ship designer. Take the pieces parts that the game randomly generates and make them blueprints so you can customize your own ship. And then you can collect $ and materials to upgrade class for more inventory slots. I’d…

I mean it’s totally relatable to have accidentally purchased a probably ludicrously expensive, and presumably human sized statue for your house and yet have no knowledge of the transaction or its existence. Who hasn’t taken an Ambien and done some light shopping?

Erskine, though, refuses, and insists on Steve Rogers because, as a good but weak man, he understands strength and will wield it with empathy.

Yeah, I wrote a whole screed below, but your finishing point here just made me tear up slightly. Well done. 

Yes!  Well said.

Stanley Tucci’s Dr. Erskine is curious why a shrimpy little kid is so desperate to join the war effort, and he tests Steve by asking if he’s just really eager to kill Nazis. Steve says no, he doesn’t want to hurt anybody. “I just don’t like bullies,” he says. “I don’t care where they’re from.”
