A lot of players felt they were out of control. Not the Bolte mains of course but it was not an uncommon sentiment among players. Like all balance changes it’s gunna have its supporters and detractors. I still saw boltes and nighbirds post-patch, just not as many, which is fine with me.

It’s actually quite noticeable, isn’t it? I usually think players perceive changes from patch to patch that are mostly in their mind or are from factors external but co-incidental to the patch, but it’s hard to argue there’s a real issue with blocking frames every couple of seconds in this patch. I imagine it’ll be…

“out of an abundance of caution”

I would have hoped the mcdonalds hot coffee case and subsequent documentary had disabused more of the notion that there couldn’t possibly be more substantive detail to a complaint than a few paragraphs on a website.

“Oh no, these words on this website are telling me what I can and cannot say!”

Sorry, I legit thought you were saying 1/10th of a cent. It’s not like a misspelled word typo.

I don’t necessarily disagree, but .1 cents is off by a factor of 100. Accuracy is important if you’re trying to make a point based on a number in good faith.

Uh, that’s 10 cents, captain math.

perfect is the enemy of good

You can’t save everyone from themselves.

The world is chock full of people who at no point in their emotional development were encouraged, much less expected - to be able to put themselves in the shoes of somebody else. A common one: “But why are they unhappy? They have money. If I had money, I’d be happy.” This makes it impossible for them to understand…

If they did this just to shutdown the stupidheads who were using the positive reviews for Father Stu and Top Gun as evidence of - equity firm owned, they eagerly noted - AV Club going soft, more power to them! Take that, AV Club can still snob with the best of ‘em!

The history of videogames is awash with traditionally pacifist characters who engage in (usually cartoon) violence because it’s hard to make a “press the buttons at the right time” game mechanic out of exploring human values. This is like the millionth game where this juxtaposition exists.

It’s glorious. Yes, they’re right, the 3rd act is a bit of a let down but it’s just packed full of funny shit. And goddamn the new series is exceedingly promising. I’ve only watched the first episode, and it’s so good. They’re back. You always fear with these comebacks the magic won’t be there, but .. it is,…

I was hit by a car but somehow I managed not to twist my entire perspective of them as being big bodies of metal that move around do nothing but injure people. Eric Clapton has suffered complications from taking a vaccine twice - join the club, Eric - but that doesn’t absolve him of being a right wing conspiracy nut.…

And trains.

The only winning move is not to play.

“Companies are not social jobs programs”

more like spurtin’-II commando huh

It’s gross because it appears that you’ve defaulted to assuming it isn’t there before you’ve given them any appropriate amount of time to make that determination. I really don’t think the “Father Stu got a decent review so it must mean the new reviewers suck as opposed to being an objectively decent movie” argument…
