Regarding Iron Bull, I think the problem isn’t Iron Bull or “Demands of the Qun” so much as it is a more general issue with how the Qunari have been portrayed.

You sure do spend a lot of time typing out comments that skirt the line of defending bigots.  Stop dancing around it, just be honest for a change.

“Without intent it’s just empty beauty. Intent is what allowed Duchamp to turn a urinal into a sculpture.”

That’s not entirely true. As it stands, yes, you could “generate” art by throwing a salad of words into any present AI art service, and 15 seconds later, publish that piece of art. And yes, that leaves you wanting when you examine this particular piece, more often than not.

Right there with you on the last part. 10 years ago I was doing art constantly and ended up with the usual problems of posting your work online, its a popularity contest. So I stopped posting stuff as often but slowly also just started making less. I still do make stuff, just gone from weekly to yearly some times. But…

That is genuinely refreshing to hear. It has occurred to me, the significance of this tool for people who struggle with physical challenges that would impede them from creating art in the traditional way. I am very happy for you! I really can’t wait to hear what many others who share similar difficulties make of this…

As someone with dysgraphia (I cannot write with a pen, or draw/paint for more than 5 minutes at a time without getting crippling pain in my hands), I have struggled my entire life with the desire to draw and create art, and being unable to actually learn it as a skill. The last few months has been a revelation for me,…

Random and proc-gen happens in games all the time but it rarely looks like a hand crafted product and it doesn’t really work the way you describe.

Frankly, I’m not sure there really is a large pool of “car people” out there anymore. The new generations coming up have every facet of their life being a “service” and those services nickel and diming their supplemental income to where they don’t often have the capital to have exposure that fosters interest. Even…

Both of those things can be true at the same time. 

...wait, I’ve been playing a ton of the latest Stellaris expansion and had zero issues whatsoever. What are people complaining about?

“Supernatural" is basically "Hunter: The Reckoning."

Don’t beat yourself up over it. You can’t commit every waking hour to the job search. In my experience, there aren’t even enough decent jobs available to fill a whole day of searching. You have to do something fun to offset how soul crushing looking for a job can be. It’s the healthy thing to do.

Battlefront 2 maybe?  Haven’t played it but sure seems like it makes the list.

Diablo 3
The Elder Scrolls Online
Battlefront 2
GTA: Online
Fortnite

Just to name some big ones

It’s early access.
Of course it’s buggy.
That’s the entire point of early access.

I’m playing solely in VR and I have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s wonderfully smooth and I love the built in ‘toggle vr’ so I can swap in and out at will. No menu,framerate, or controller issues.

I’m also crossplaying from PC to Xbox friends pretty smoothly.

Maybe the dozens of videos and articles blaming Sony for retailers breaking street date and stock selling out were wrong... Maybe it’s not Sony, or Nvidia, or MS’s fault. Maybe it’s been the scalpers all along, and retailers have to figure out a way to prevent that, though they probably don’t care.

What about overseas where our Covid-19 management isn't a complete disaster area like the US?

Sad thing is Origin’s customer service was for years far better to Steam’s in that you could get an answer in hours, with an actual phone call, and not some lottery of support tickets maybe answered in a couple of days if lucky.
