I got into MH in World. It took me a long time to “click” with the game as well, for many of the same reasons. Eventually, though, it did click and I can’t pinpoint a specific thing that made it click.

Remember Xbox Live Points? It’s fuzzy now but I think you bought cards for points, but you could earn points somehow too? Achievements maybe? Oh that was a hot mess.

Totally agree, I try to stay off of listless, directionless social media like Twitter/Facebook. It’s so weird because it also creates social bubbles where people start to think “oh the way I think is how everyone else thinks too!” so when people get met by opposing opinions, or different ways of thinking, they don’t…

you will take on the role of Frey Holland, an ordinary young woman who must harness her magical abilities

ACABET

Yeah, I still remember playing that game (I used to have a tradition of taking a week off at Thanksgiving time and just playing through that years AC game from start to finish) and interrupting dinner at my condo by going “WHOA WHAT THE FUCK” and trying to answer by explaining to my partner and her friends what was…

You... would be surprised then! I thought the ending of Odyssey (one of the endings? That’s sort of one of the new things AC games have, multiple main storylines that all have independent endings) was pretty wild and wacky.

There was some cool stuff shown, but almost none of the stuff I really wanted to see was shown. I’m a huge fan of Sony, but they really missed the mark, at least for me. 

I understand it, honestly. Especially being there at the start of video streaming and seeing competitors pop up. It’s kind of similar to game stores.

Or “the entire galaxy is at stake but I will only help save it (and myself) if you help me with my personal problems first”. 

It was a cycle yes. It’s a convoluted story but if I remember correctly, only the “Final Aeon” could defeat Sin, but when it did the guy who made Sin originally would possess the Aeon and the Aeon would become the next Sin, but there was a gap where Sin wasn’t raging.

The Mako levels are why I stopped playing the first ME game. I came back to it years later and trudged through it only to discover I was surprisingly close to the end of the game. The Mako is the biggest flaw in the game.

lol, I mean, “state” originally meant “nation” so Europe became more like the US, not the other way around.

This feels like a very financially stupid position to take. You won’t “ruin a billionaire’s life”. You will inconvenience them, maybe set them back. But they’ll be fine.

For sure - I’ve worked with people in other countries quite a bit and none of them can quite say my name correctly, and it’s a very standard European first name (and last name). There’s accents, differences in pronunciations, and sometimes lack of proper ... tongue muscles I guess?

My family has used this naming scheme for generations as well, except with the name James. Every first name was James and every person went by their middle name for generations.

One thing that actually gets me to stop playing a gacha style game is when it’s been out for a year or so and before you can even play it for the first time, the game hands you a billion things in popup after popup. Here’s 1000x gems, and coins, and platinum orange peels, and rainbow gems, and all the other 20…

Ah I checked, it was $40 at launch, I was mistaken. It was quickly discounted though, and I see it in a lot of sales.

Same! If they had a long term disease it doesn’t, but when it’s just “oh someone in their mid 30s just collapsed and died suddenly in their home”... ugh. Goodbye, sleep.

Yeah, I mean it has AAA quality graphics, but was launched at $30 with no planned DLC and no microtransactions, just a fine, little, tightly scoped Star Wars game. :)
