    I see is free over the weekend. I don't often see eye-to-eye with , but these comments mirror my feelings. It's amazing how much Blizzard have eroded my trust which is amazing because D1 and D2 are amongst my favourite games of all time. Good job, idiots.

    @WanderingInDigitalWorlds Exactly. That is the problem in a nutshell and it's across multiple companies and platforms. For example, releasing unfinished games because they know they'll sell because of hype and it happens over and over. It's crazy.

    @Strider@mstdn.games avatar

    @WanderingInDigitalWorlds It's a wonderful thought. I'd love to see these executives lose their shit because their profits fall through the floor. Sadly it's a young person's market and youth aren't typical known for being discerning customers, on evidence.

    But yes, the smart play is simply to wait. I've learnt to wait until the game is on sale or, if I really am looking forward to the game I simply wait a week to see what the reviews say.

    Strider,
    @Strider@mstdn.games avatar

    @WanderingInDigitalWorlds Yes, finding reviews I trust has become increasingly difficult.

    It's become so bad in fact I just watch Youtube video's of other people playing it and from that I can often discern whether I'll like it or not.

    I fixed the Youtube issue by removing other adblockers and putting on AdBlocker Ultimate

    Yeah, I like Sterling as he has integrity but his videos are a little bit annoying for me. He knows his stuff though.

    My wife picked as my next game to play and I gotta say I am struggling through it. For a high octane shooter it's phenomenal how boring it is - endless stages of the same damn rooms and corridors punctuated by woefully uninspiring shootouts. Genuinely surprised at it.

    @euphoriagremlin

    If you're looking for some retro shooters with a little panache I would recommend Half-life (all of them) and the first Bioshock game.

    Half-life is an all time favourite of mine

    For most of my evening, I've sat and pondered what to do with my evening whilst not really feeling like doing anything. Now my evening is nearly over and the grind begins again early tomorrow morning.

    Argh, why do I do this? 😣

    Strider,
    @Strider@mstdn.games avatar

    @EighthLayer When I get like that I just chill with a playthrough of a game I enjoy watching. It has been DayZ but recently it's been The Long Dark. I don't play the game but I find it quite relaxing to watch. Accurize and Zaknafein are quite relaxing to listen to.

    Strange reading this as I recently decided to cut chocolate/crisps out of my diet completely. That and a daily walk. It's been about 3–4 weeks. I've not seen any visible weight loss (not weighing myself)

    Still trying to find snacks which are both healthy and tasty. My current favourite is yoghurt. Really great if I'm vaping some Mary Jane with a friend. That and rye bread and blueberries. Nothing else is springs to mind but I'd welcome any suggestions.

    Since the release of Diablo 3 I've become increasingly frustrated with Activision/Blizzard.

    Hopefully this takeover will allow the aforementioned to make games not just with aggressive monetization but, if we're lucky, a moment of thought for player enjoyment and not a flagrant disinterest and disregard for the concerns of their player base.

    @LadyMarth01 I agree. I think monopolization is bad for the consumer and that's also why I don't like Xbox Game Pass.

    Eddie Howe is a great long term coach. I'll explain why I think that is.

    Recruiting and developing youth or recruiting cheaply and is paramount for any club wanting flexibility in the transfer market. In the context of FFP, finances saved allow for greater spending in areas that might become important due to injury or players leaving on a Bosman.

    Eddie Howe is an excellent coach but I feel he is best at the development of players.
    This is why Eddie is a great long term coach.

    Godamit, and I'm all out of popcorn...

    Being serious for a moment though, you have to appreciate those leaning to the right having a tendency to self-destruct. It's almost as if the opinions upon which they opine prove to make for a poor bedrock.

    Either way, the sooner 'GB News' runs itself into the ground the better. It's a disgrace we have a British Fox News in this country at all.
