So first, regressive is sort of a catch all that has fallen out of use. Denotatively its use is, as you mentioned, more for ideas and mental attitude. Connotatively though “regressives” have become a symbol of wanting to return to a pre-advancement state in a particular area, (like anti-abortion folks trying to go…

There was not a single proper noun in that whole thing.

Social media was fine before facebook. It wasnt the lazy river of content straight into your eyeballs that it is today but it was fine.

I have a whole crazy holistic theory about particular social flaws that we have ignored to our detriment but ill try and make this shorter.

Thats easy to point out, but could you re-apply the premise to the lawn care game?

The early harvest moon games were not as fleshed out as stardew valley but they were weirdly satisfying. Theres no way you dont get some strange sense of accomplishment have gone full OCD on your fields in SDV even if youre busy wondering about some quest.

Theyre trying to catch lightning in a bottle for the most part.

I think that we let children mow lawns is one of the better quirks of this particular american oddity.

I literally just let my lawn go like 5 or 6 weeks, and had to mow over the whole thing excessively this afternoon.

I fully agree and would add the caveat that those sticking up for the validity of micro-transactions being included in a video game experience are likely just trying to dodge a little self-criticism for having bought into micro-transactions in a title they enjoyed.

You don’t have to be pro criminal to be anti Nintendo on this story.

Critics need to start getting critical. I’m sorry of that seems pointed but I can just tell coverage of this game is bs. I didn’t even need to play it to know this is just another open world medieval loop and chop. I picked up odyssey on sale and it was basically a chore. I been picking away for months because it is…

The games are essentially 2000s graphics versions of the earliest arcade games. As someone with a very mild amount of computer savvy i am relatively certain i could mock up a similar party experience for some freinds of mine, or children i happen to be watching, completely for free. Since im a labourer i would need to…

Stock options are a mechanism for manipulation and nothing more. Employees are given stock options as justification for not paying them enough or for paying them too much.

Simple reason it looks strange. The widow’s peak in his hair is missing.

You make some good points. First let me apologize if i came off salty. I am sorry for that.

I gotta say though if your criticism for Odyssey over red dead is that its boring did you really enjoy doing three random errands of varying thematic quality at literally every new place you went?

For me i had fun in Athens and…

Right now they cant. You can ply your effort locally and make a better neighbourhood for yourself or community but macro problems are still totally high-jacked by corporate driven narratives.

To me this seems like skullduggery. How many of these investors are hedge funds? Im guessing that potential investors at the very least looked into some of the products made by Blizzard before investing. Its not like their modern depictions of women in Overwatch was great and then theres WoW.

I really liked Nioh and Nioh 2. I am huge glutton for punishment though as well.

Literally playing odyssey right now and took a break. I dont know how you could say its better than Red dead 2 unless you didnt play Red Dead 2.
