On the plus side the closest thing I had to hype for this was idle curiosity about their comment that they couldn’t make this game before due to lack of tech, but it looks like even that was a throwaway. Looking like another ‘buy it on sale’ honestly.

Yeah agreed, this seems offensive to both people who work in that industry and patronize it. The other problems are serious, this one seems more like an issue with how people view strippers/pornstars.

That seasonal sale/launch one is weird. Does that mean in effect that unless a game launches in mid November or earlier they can’t be discounted during the winter sale? Odd.

I’ve said things like this before, but Kotick seems to be emblematic of modern CEOs. The bizarre combination of incompetence and corruption while profiting massively despite dragging everyone else down makes him similar to an actual business version of Trump. Failing upwards, given a face.

Yeah, still despise them - so to be clear this has progression?

To be clear, this is a roguelike? Your comparison to Hades makes me unsure if this is a roguelike or roguelite, and one of the two I play and the other I don’t.

Well, that confused the fuck out of me since DALL-E is completely inaccessible to the public. I finally found out what happened in the reddit thread - people are confusing ruDALL-E with DALL-E (they are not the same).

As far as NerfNow, in contrast with this Genshin Impact could really use a skip button.

Honestly, I got Lichdom: Battlemage as a AAA title vibes myself. That said, I was interested beforehand, and interested after. It didn’t really much change my attitude, except maybe tempering some early expectations and being impressed by some of the animations for things like the spellcasting implements.

Pretty much, I was one of the people who defended them early on. Money or not, AAA game development takes time. When they had nothing to show but fundraising after half a decade though, after work supposedly began before announcement? There are reasonable limits.

Well, this solved a minor mystery for me (namely why my butter dish is so shallow that butter sticks to the top). Apparently it’s designed for longer, shorter sticks

Cheers thanks, I tried to thank Luke the other day and this happened. So that does explain some things.

So, what the fuck. Is your post only showing up in the greys now and only visible through clicking through feeds for everyone, or is it just me? Because this isn’t the first time I’ve run into posts seemingly being deleted, and I can’t even tell if this is due to Kinja or deliberate.

I think a lot of us are here at this point out of an odd combination of nostalgia, vague hope, and habit. I don’t even really think about my Kotaku tab most of the time, it’s been part of my Firefox window for so long it’s not really something I consider, but then things like this happen. And I’m reminded of how few…

Oh geeze, didn’t expect a response here. Cheers, but I manage to lose a late 50/50 so working to get a last few primos to hit a second one. Did get three XQ cons though.

Honestly, I think this is one way that the Genshin Impact community isn’t thinking things through. Losing the 50/50 can actually be a good thing - if it happens early. The honest truth here is that pulling a five star, any five star fast is good news since otherwise you have a fifty percent chance of pulling the wrong…

Not really surprised, even back when I had to use the queue they made me post a hundred times, despite having bought a bunch of products from them for the 900 series.

That’s where I got my MSRP card, no idea what things are like there now though. I don’t tend to track the practical situation unless I’m thinking about buying.

If my old computer (it was from the 900 series) hadn’t given up the ghost I’d have done this too. As is, despite getting a card at MSRP I overpaid enormously, and spent six months playing RMA bingo. One of the less mentioned things that’s happened lately is customer support has gone down the drain, so that was... not…

To be clear, I’m looking to get Xingqiu constellations while I roll for Zhongli, and if I hit C5 on him I may pick him up instead of Yun Jin for the Lantern Rite festival.
