Teen douches who can now broadcast their idiocy online and get thousands of other douches saying “woohoo! right on!”, rather than just their handful of douche friends. It’s got to have some effect.

I think there’s some extra aspects sdded to it nowadays. Like the internet being an amazing tool for communication that previous generations didn’t have - which let all those isolated disaffected assholes connect with other people Just Like Them and reinforce their views; Us vs Them tribalism enhanced by that ability…

It was fun playing through the campaign the first time, but the endgame was boring & repetitive (moreso than the endgame in the others), and the DLC weren’t great.  In the end, it’s the BL game that I’ve played the least.  Because the “chaos chamber” grind just wasn’t interesting.

I love how no one is detecting the sarcasm.

I’ve been upgrading about every 4 years, and never paid more than $200 for a new card. Starting in 2011, Radeon HD 6870 1GB, R9-270X 2GB, RX570 8GB. I’ve been looking for something better for next year’s games, and just being utterly disgusted by what GPU prices are now. They’re totally pricing “regular gamers” out of…

Whereas I saw Destruction as the “least evil” of 3 evil choices. With Synthesis being in the running for most evil, since you’re making the choice to violate the minds & bodies of every being in the galaxy.

GOP: “Abortion is a states rights issue! Every state should be able to decide for themselves whether abortion should be illegal, or even more illegal!”

Never actually played the Citadel DLC. Because I couldn’t bring myself to play any of the games again after the (original) ending of 3... not because of the common complaints about it, but because it felt like a great-big-middle-finger “You Lose”. What’s the point of going through three games of trying to save…

That first one from Janus Rose reminded me a whole lot of Parasite Eve. edit: aaaand you said that on the first slide. That’s what I get for posting before reading the rest. :D

And, as with all the “canceled”, he will find plenty of stage time on the “we’ve been canceled. we have no voice!” speaking circuit, and will get plenty of free publicity for his game (and “I will support those Poor Oppressed Canceled Folks” sales) on whatever rightie hosting platform his game ends up at.

So much for getting game news here.

Of course, when they don’t, half the time those same shareholders will oust the board/sue/trash the stock price/etc in retaliation for them not ‘aggressively pursuing shareholder value’ /eyeroll

You know, I’d completely forgotten about that.  Make me glad that I didn’t end up going for the “buy a new AMD card, get Saints Row free!” offer last month.  I’d just assumed that it would be a Steam code.

I have enough things compelling me to make new accounts & logins for them, that I avoid any that I don’t absolutely need to make. Don’t want any more ‘launchers’ if I can avoid it as well. And since I can solve this one with just a little patience? Plus the games have more time to get patched up. No biggie.   /shrug

When character animations break, and a character or NPC ends up locked in a standing-T pose.  i.e, standing straight up, legs together, arms stretched out horizontally.

“Frivolous lawsuits” do effect us all. Every class-action suit that’s just a money grab (not an actual ‘fix something bad’ one) sucks money from the economy to the lawyers, adds more layers of crap to selling anything (“ok, how many more pages of disclaimers & warnings do we need to add to everything now”), provides…

That’s the point - it looks exactly like those old ‘50s B movies. Which is really cool & impressive.

Also, for BL3 - Worst - The Villains are fucking horrible.

But county clerks who refused to do gay marriage certificates, or pharmacists refusing to fill prescriptions for birth control/plan b/etc, were just ‘standing up for their convictions’.   /sigh

The five “real” multiple endings are more chapter endings, not full playthroughs (if that’s keeping you away). Play the basic story once for end A, play through parts of it again (not as long as the first play) from a different character’s perspective for end B, and then play through some totally new story bits for…
