Whoa what? We have very different experiences. I’m typically in the game in ~15-20 seconds from cold boot and fast travel is maybe... 3 seconds tops? And that’s with clues enabled, so half the time I’m thinking wow this is taking more than a few seconds, oh wait, I have to click X now.

I’ve had grocery store workers ask me if I want to replace ground beef that I was planning to use that same night because there was a small “brown” spot on the beef. He said it had “gone rotten”. It was perfectly fine meat.

He feels sorry for people who want him to finish the thing that made him both famous and rich? For enabling him to do all his side projects he’s working on now?

Yes! With a 1 year old, a partner, and a seemingly constant stream of repairmen and contractors in my house, I can’t play any games that can’t be paused. Horizon Forbidden West is so so so good for this because it can be paused at any point which is awesome.

That was in context of salaries, which is true! And makes sense, especially since many people in tech have to get advanced degrees, which costs money and time.

It makes sense in a predator/prey scenario though, where a predator stays still when they know someone is watching. But as a mechanism I agree, it makes no sense. Maybe the creatures are just hyper perceptive and seeing you isn’t causing them to freeze, but they’re aware of you seeing them quicker than you are and…

No one except you used the word awful. No one except you is claiming no one cares about poor working conditions in other fields. No one except you is claiming this is something people “slaved away” to get. No one except you is arguing “it’s harder” as a justification for poor working conditions in other fields.

Isn’t that a 3-day work week?

I don’t even think it looks half-baked, just stylistically different.

Mmm, that kinda depends though. You say we overrepresent antivaxxers, but let’s look at some numbers. Michigan, a state in the US, currently has a vaccination rate of 64.4%. So it’s fair to say “there’s a lot” of people who aren’t taking the vaccine. You can even factor out kids under 5 and it’s similar. In Michigan,…

This might be unpopular, and I haven’t played WoW in some time, but I miss the days when Horde/Alliance felt different from each other. Weren’t there entire classes locked to each side? I think Druid for Alliance and Warlock for Horde? I believe some loot was locked to each side as well?

You say the game doesn’t teach you to cancel throws, but it literally does teach you that in the tutorials. Maybe you accidentally skipped that popup?

Have to agree with others here, Persona 3 is good, but not better than 4 or 5. The game design and quality of life changes just aren’t there. Going from 5 to 3, or even 5 to 4, is painful to do. You go from awesome custom dungeons to “randomly generated floors”. Like imagine if Mementos was all you got from the game…

I freaking loved the game. The combat was enjoyable and short enough to to overstay its welcome. The characters were great as always, the conversations were fun.

I played the intro until the game crashed and reset a bunch of progress and I had to do it again - only for it to crash again in a different spot. Then it kept freezing in combat at inopportune times so I kept dying “off screen” while frozen.

This article is a bit weird. I think the real story here is that 2 Sony first party single player games ranked on a cumulative hours list alongside a bunch of designed-to-hook-you multiplayer games.

Is the “left lane is a passing lane” one in here because people don’t do it? Because it’s definitely the law where I live, and in many other states. Doesn’t seem to fit in with “use proper octane gas” and “optional stop signs”. 

This does benefit the middle class though. The upper middle class (over 89k). The middle middle class are lower than this. What you’ve illustrated is what a lot of people would consider the “line” between upper class and middle class. A huge tax jump. This theoretically means it’s harder to keep wealth over 170k but…

I actually really enjoyed this premiere. It had a slow-burn feel of building to the inevitable, but that’s what I liked about it. And the final moments, and what triggered the relapse, felt a LOT less like “Dexter” as we knew him and more like “Dexter Unhinged”. Rusty, out of practice, and sloppy.

I think the idea that some people think wearing another cultures headwear and chanting something unrelated to that culture is “a sin so great the devil won’t let you into hell” says a lot about our society. Or that someone saw that and felt that “violence was being committed against him”.
