The tech CEOs who think the metaverse is going to be like Ready Player One (and skipping the part where that makes them the villains) aren’t reckoning with the fact that Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple and, heck, even Roblox aren’t going to go down quietly.

Instead of “the metaverse,” we’re going to end up with four…

Also, as a woman, I find a guy who is still masking in public places to be incredibly hot. The mouth-breathers in my state ditched masks last June, more or less. I was in the grocery store last week, and a guy about my age was wearing an N95 mask like me. We made eye contact and I could tell he smiled as he gave a bit…

Leading with “sweetheart” made it sound like you were going somewhere, but then you immediately turned around and decided to go nowhere.

The weird thing is people are telling you that they would like the ability to pause - y’know, like almost every other game that exists, making it a pretty reasonable ask - and you claim it’s not a big deal to you so I’m not sure why you’re immediately so defensive. It’s a pause button!

Even if you truly arent trying to troll (which is super hard to believe now) you have to be smart enough to realize that if this many people are of this opinion of your posts that maybe you are somewhat in the wrong and are portraying your opinion poorly. If you are being sincere and arent a purposeful troll, you…

LOL you know you’ve gotten into someone’s head when they’re reading through your old posts. Guess you couldn’t think up a rebuttal based on the current discussion so had to try to dig up some dirt 😂

I do disagree, I also think you continuing to argue it does come off as trolling, despite your pleas to the contrary.

You say “don’t reduce me to that” then immediately claim that their issues are worse if they need to pause. The two don’t jive and it’s pretty insulting to insinuate these players have a problem, when…

It’s very simple: the game should have a pause feature because it’s a standard game feature people want and there’s no reason not to have it, since this work-around already shows that it doesn’t break the game as it exists in literally any way.

I’m sure I could walk 20km to the beach too, but public transport is a plainly better option. The fact imperfect alternatives exist is not a justification to exclude an objectively better one.

if you can’t put things off in the real world for 1-3 minutes while you log out or warp somewhere, that’s the bigger issue than not being able to pause.

Or, y’know, the game could just have a pause button and then nobody would have to deal with any of these problems if something does come up.

It’s not a big issue, but it’s worth asking the question: if they were just going to leave a work-around in the menus that allows you to pause anyway, why not just let people pause normally?  

if you can’t put things off in the real world for 1-3 minutes while you log out or warp somewhere, that’s the bigger issue than not being able to pause.

So I’m guessing you have neither pets nor children, but yes in fact. Allow me to introduce you to this entirely new concept called “Responsibilities”. Yes. Not being able to pause is in fact a problem.

It’d be a non-issue if I was single, lived alone and just needed to get a snack and use the restroom.

You clearly have no idea what pulling kid aggro is like. When I have to stop I have to stop right then and there. If i’m in the middle of a fight i don’t have time to find a safe spot. I need to stop mid swing and get to helping my kids with whatever they need.  Frankly the cat jumping on the keyboard is less…

its not that easy, sometimes people need to drop their game that second and while I don’t care about progress and will hit alt+f4 with zero hesitation, most do and a pause button lets people get on with their thing without worrying about the game.

But....if you’re offline how are you going to know when to Try Finger but hole ?

Between 2 and 3 they had the Alpha and EX series, both with 3 games each.
