But how will they get more War Thunder clicks and irresponsibly point where fans can report people if they stop making YouTube drama?

It’s mildly interesting to consider that just stating the intent is the key difference. Not so much banning the mod as the modder, I guess.

If you like roguelikes and want to ruin the scope of all other games for you for a while, try CDDA.

My gamer brain is in shambles.

Sometimes I think we wouldn’t have ended up like this if it was still around.

One thing I always liked about The Sims was it being a satire on life. Especially the first one. I don’t think this game is interested in going that direction… Everything is very Korean. Spotless and clean and sterile.

Taking back “don’t be evil” is around when I stopped liking Google a lot, but I do still tend to find that Google’s products are the only ones that follow my way of logical thinking, especially in options and menus, if that makes sense. Samsung frequently doesn’t have stuff where I expect to find it… Sony’s menus are nonsensical… Nintendo is constantly missing settings… Microsoft used to be better, but hides relatively basic shit in the name of “accessibility” nowadays… Apple’s entire ecosystem is a joke, in my opinion…

Google’s menus and apps just make sense to me and are almost always where I look for them. They tend to include most options for things I would want to turn off or on. Usually if you are in a place where you’d want a search bar, there’s a search bar. Android is still very customizable using third-party apps, instead of just preventing them from working altogether and making you use it their way. I like all that.

I originally justified the cost of Premium by changing from paying for Spotify, which kept letting me down with playlist limitations–a playlist of 500+ songs would actually only shuffle about 60. YouTube Music also has issues with prioritizing an artist’s popular songs, but is much better overall.

I played EQ in that era and I absolutely love playing Project 99… to a point. It ends up with the same problem that every older online game seems to have: all the veterans that never left act like they own the place, and take it way too seriously.

If I do go back to P99 it will just be to level a character up until I get bored. There’s lots of essence to EQ that you just don’t get in modern MMORPGs; mostly because content is difficult to solo, working with others makes your entire life easier, and everyone is struggling together. I’ve had so many good conversations with people while camping in Blackburrow and Guk and the Karanas and so many places. I recommend it to anyone for that.

Not at all what I was expecting. Mildly disappointed because of how cool reaper was in comparison. I also don’t really get the name… Vipers got fangs that… don’t go together… I didn’t watch the keynote yet, maybe it was explained in that.

And the twinblade part?

This description is on point and completely brought me back.

I was ready to be done with Frontlines a long time ago since I maxed all job experience and got the grand company mount… But now I guess I’ll do that too.

Don’t even want to comment on Frontlines gameplay though. Bleugh.

One of the few subs I actually miss.

I grew up in SoCal and this is why I have barely ever been anywhere. It’s dense enough around here.

This is the only take that actually matters. If Ukraine responded to Russia by bombing villages and shooting civilians, they would not have such near-worldwide support. If Israel wants to truly be better than “savages” then they need to act like it.

Bethesda has put themselves in an awkward spot by promoting niche and deep RPG mechanics for so long, and then becoming such a AAA developer with entire keynotes dedicated to previewing them that they no longer want to risk making deeper complex mechanics because they’re scared of “confusing” the base audience.

I want to say they need to take Starfield as a wakeup call, in comparison to games like BG3. But they don’t need to, because Gamepass numbers are practically imaginary sales numbers, and we’re just going to hear about how well it sold for the next half-decade.

Modders will fix it!

It’s not moddable on gamepass, so I doubt I’ll ever care.

Had no idea. I just assumed it was Xbox’s weird format. Thanks for the information.

That’s the only reason I tried the shovel. I started using Scratch more and figured there had to be a way to reveal what he’s pointing at if you fail.

Thank you for being willing to protect this service when necessary, and improve it when able.

I refuse to touch anything related to Facebook. I’m shocked that people would use Threads or Instagram for that matter.

Finally. Nobody will have to be anywhere near those fat, loud, smelly La Jollans.
