I mean, I agree, but I was more pointing out that the author called it a roguelike. Which is something else.

Isn’t Hades a roguelite?

Honestly, after the Marvel Heroes mess I’ll simply say that games being shut down should have a legal obligation to publish their source code so that people can set up fan servers. As it is, even if people go back and try to fix this decades later a lot of this is going to be difficult to find most likely.

I mean, it’s Kickstarter. They’ve been blatant conspiracy theorists and assholes for nearly a decade. Probably the first sign was their attitude towards GMOs. The point about their size is spot on, they basically stumbled into being huge and then never bothered to do a good job.

I actually play gacha games, and this list still makes me feel guilty. I mean honestly, there are other F2P games out there.

I’ve got admit, I’m not sure I agree with your analysis entirely - the ugly section is bemusing. The only one of those which really saw community wide attention was the anniversary thing. And frankly, past that I’d be more concerned still with the unhealthy attitudes from their monetization - the community as a whole…

It looks interesting, but... pre-alpha? I guess it’s at least mostly a cinematic trailer, but still that’s honestly kind of ridiculous to include implied gameplay segments. I’m also already skeptical of their release date just based on that.

Didn’t miHoYo’s guide to the event specifically say you didn’t have to stealth? Albeit, honestly for most players I suspect this isn’t much different. That said, given all the other animals killable in this, I’m more concerned about the lack of petability of the foxes from that Dragonspine mini quest.

That case is ridiculously ugly. It’s like someone wrapped an old style suitcase in ugly airport tape.

Kind of? At least as far as a quick google/look at Wikipedia shows these guys are mostly above the board. I did find some stuff that was distasteful (a case against Mueller’s appointment most notably), but by and large they really do mostly seem to just object to cases of campaign finance violations and the like. They…

The trashfire that ended it really was a disappointment, you knew it had been going downhill even publicly, but you still didn’t want it to end. Also, as a comment here while people may see D2 clone as derogatory, it really is a pretty specific subgenre, and this was one of the greatest examples of it.

Got to admit, when I see Mencken quotes it’s more often the one about a moron president. Continually salient quote though.

I legitimately don’t know what to say about this, the problem is these ‘games’ are nothing of the sort. They aren’t fun, they aren’t even gambling, they just straight up exist to take advantage of people with problems. I honestly struggle to see this as anything except fraud, and I’m saying that as someone who thinks…

Thank you. The OP made me twitch. Communism has never been tried on scale, neoconservativism was born from foreign policy, socialism is an actual failed economic system, and even using the name social democracy it’s still a political view rather than an economic system.

Honestly, I prefer coconut milk, but I’ll say this - the biggest tip I can give in regards to coffee is that quality matters. Buy from a roaster with a good reputation, get a single estate with minimal roasting, avoid drip, and grind it right before you make a cup. Yes, you can load your coffee with sugar and cream to…

This entire train of live action adaptions was a terrible idea in the first place, but now it seems you can’t read ten articles without another awful idea popping up. I get it, they don’t want to bother making quality content when they could just rip something off and get people from name recognition, but fucks sake.

Not exactly surprising anyways, honestly this entire supply chain issue/COVID has created a situation where the previous generation of gaming has dragged out. Not only have releases been pushed back extensively, but we still haven’t seen significant switches to the new gen, because most people still don’t have the new…

I mean, this is news in the specifics, but we’ve known he should’ve been removed since what, last year? Regardless, I’ll reiterate what I said, so long as he and Townsend are employed they clearly aren’t taking this seriously.

Honestly, I’m disturbed by this because it’s part of a trend to turn on the users whenever any web company gets bigger to pander to the religious right. This kind of behavior is disgusting, and frankly regardless of whether the website itself is crappy I’m a lot more concerned about the damage done by this puritanical…

Here the turkey usually winds up being done like an hour late. Admittedly, everything else usually ends up being down another ten minutes or so late, but it definitely doesn’t have time to become anything like room temperature.
