Yeah. I’m not in love with the body kit over stock, but it’s unique and looks good. Door cards are beautiful, everything is beautiful.

Yeah, the Ubisoft page the article pulls from goes into how the seeming bad guy in the trailer actually was the only ruler to stave off the Viking invasion and more or less saved the Anglo-Saxons as a sovereign people. Kinda hard to antagonize that guy.

Aloy is, in my opinion, the best realized female protagonist in AAA gaming history. Not just because of her great character development, not just because she could be an attractive design without feeling objectified, not just because  of the way she navigated her world, but in the way she worked in combat.

Yes, I get that. It doesn’t mean I have to be happy about it.

It is true. From the link you posted:

At some point, a company will ship games that are just installed on their own hard drives that you plug into the console that is dedicated just to that game and it’s updates like Animal Crossing on the gamecube.

I’ve been saying for a while how annoying it is to not play the game for a couple of days, decided I wanna do a few rounds and be met with a 60GB patch or more. It deflates my enthusiasm for the game because on top of that just being ridiculous I also don’t have the fasted internet in the world. It would take me hours…

Why can’t they just do beta keys the old way? I don’t enjoy watching streams, but I definitely want to try Valorant.

How would a futuristic game set to be if there were no guns? Even if we somehow can reduce its prominent, be it by making up some background story to explain it, or something else, it would still very likely to be included. And what climbing could we get when city we currently have are already skyscrapers.

Neutral: Ford should give 99% of the executive pay to their employees who can hardly afford TP to wipe their own asses. Fuck Ford honestly, none of their vehicles interest me.

So, history is literally the whole premise of the series.

But . . . that’s literally the entire premise.

Perhaps one of the lessons we’ll take from this pause is that, yes, it is often possible to do business in ways that don’t involve jumping on a plane, just as for many people it is possible to work without commuting.

From all the gameplay I’ve watched in the last few days, which is probably far more than I should be allowed to, the only gripe I have with the game is that all of the gun sounds are crap. They’re all variations on “pew” and shit little lazer-y noises, there’s no hefty sounding weapons with actual “dugga” behind them.…

Yeah, god forbid they actually act like responsible corporate “citizens” by paying their workers a decent wage, setting aside a little money for a rainy day, and not greedily lapping up huge tax cuts and spending all the money on stock buybacks to artificially inflate their value to keep Wall Street happy.

“There will be a hotline for members to report corruption at which point several thugs, who are also middle managers, will be dispatched to your work area to beat you up.”

The person holding a gun to your head and making you read all of these isn’t practicing good social distancing. So, until they figure it out, you’ll have to keep reading.

I’m as pro-vax as it gets, and even I’d be a little (lot) concerned about a vaccine that skipped enough testing steps to be available in 8 weeks.

H1N1 lasted about 14 months from the official announcement of a pandemic (about 2 months after initial reports of cases) to what is largely considered the post-pandemic period. And that was with the aid of a vaccine available around the 3-4 month mark after the original pandemic announcement. It is hard to impossible…

The Chinese goverment, emphasis on goverment here. Should be paying reparations to the rest of the world for this.
