I wonder if part of this is that they’re still stuck using EA’s Frostbite engine. IIRC from when Andromeda came out, Frostbite was built for FPS games and didn’t have the tools for an RPG. Andromeda used a lot of tools created by the Inquisition team, as well as still having to cobble together their own (which was why…

“The participants are asked to stand in a row facing the role-players with their fists raised in anger, while the role-players are instructed to put their hands in the air and ululate like a jihadist.”

References to that episode should be compulsory for all attendees. Especially around the gummy vendors.

They stopped letting the public in after the Gummi Venus de Milo incident.

I don’t understand the Microsalt thing. One gram of salt is one gram of salt. Just because the crystals are smaller doesn’t mean there’s less salt.

I know Guy Fieri looks like he just drunkenly fell off the lead float after being named King of the Douche Parade, but by all accounts he’s a genuinely good guy. I wouldn’t be so hasty to make him the avatar of the Oath Keeper jagoffs.

I hate the word “loaf” when it’s paired with anything other than bread. It just sounds so very gross.

Was thinking the same thing, the animation looks too sharp and smooth for the style they’re using.

At last, I can recreate Hot Fuzz in the Sims!

Human suffering.

That’s what I’ve been thinking. Anything fantastical, like the wolf and lynx mounts, is just someone having some fun with the Animus code. It’s not an actual representation of a genetic memory, it’s just Layla sneaking something in for her own amusement. I think people have a tendency to forget that the AC games are…

Fucking yes please. My interest in Skull and Bones dropped to zero when they revealed it would be a PvP focused ship combat game that wouldn’t let you leave the ship. Give it a story focused open world single-player experience that lets you raid settlements in addition to the ship combat, and I’ll be sold on it again.

I had the misfortune of growing up in Utah, and the only surprising thing about that clip was that he managed not to say anything worse.

The dad not knowing how to use a computer isn’t all that far fetched. I work at a library, and there are definitely people who are in his age range and are almost completely computer illiterate

Hot green tea. That was it. I don’t really go to Starbucks much at all.

They went full sci-fi with Legion, which doesn’t work as well for me as W_D2 did. W_D2 feels like a good extrapolation of the near future from where we are now. Legion feels like they decided to just go bonkers with it, turn everything into drones, and throw in a smart-ass AI whose code is based on straight nightmare…

I’ve gotten to the border of Stages 2 and 3 of gaming rage on a few occasions. But at the time, I was too poor to afford to replace anything I broke, so I always managed to walk myself back.

What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?

I demand ports of Hidden lantern and Choo Choo
