@Max_Poetic Ya I'm through engaging with that shit, it's no longer funny or surprising or particularly outraging, just drives engagement for whichever chucklefuck is doing it
@Xepla Expansions really need exploration zones. I have friends still doing Bozja and Eureka whereas stuff like deep dungeons and criterion dungeons and the island come and go in a few weeks.
@jesawyer Aww man, the Freespace games were huge to me as a kid. I still hold "DIVE DIVE HIT YOUR AFTERBURNERS PILOT" as one of the top moments in gaming.
@momtalksstock@CartoonsHateHer It feels like sometime over the past decade 90% of the people in my life went deep on some variety of conspiracy theory, pseudoscience, mysticism... often introduced as just some funny little interest that they know isn't real, and then they inevitably buy in.
A decade ago today…
Adventurers began exploring A Realm Reborn, but now as Warriors of Light we set our sights to the dawn! Happy 10th anniversary #FFXIV! 🥂
@aqueel Lol just rolling up on a mature platform and telling people the features they've been using for years are useless actually. The most empty headed tech bro bullshit.
@PatStaresAt Even when there's truth it reads as weak sour grapes shit. A great game comes out and people in the industry gonna immediately go online and say "well don't expect this from US" or "here's what's objectively bad about it".
@CohhCarnage There have been a few attempts at "oops all raid fights" games, but I think even most high end raiders don't want to spend all their time in a game raiding.
@EpisodeIvy Agreed, and it also feels like a bit more active contribution from the cleric without introducing a lot of overhead (the click happens very fast). I think removing it or making it an aura would make the game feel that little bit worse for me.
@NickEdenG@SkillUpYT I'm that kinda person with most games but this game has sucked me in like few others have. Your standard sad dad prestige cinematic game, yeah I want it over and done with in ten hours. Here I never want it to end haha.
@nucknyan@mczub Honestly I think it's just mentally convenient for people to pin it on a single bad actor rather than face the reality that it's a systemic issue that will be a constant risk for the rest of our lives
@mczub Like I feel bad for people who got COVID but please people stop being under the illusion that getting COVID at one of these things is the result of nefarious people coming sick or that testing is some kinda silver bullet
@mczub People are flying in surrounded by coughing humanity and rubbing shoulders with 15k people from all over the world and then 2-3 days later (just long enough to incubate) are packing in ass to elbows to scream their asses off at a concert.
@GenePark The last one that hooked me this hard was DA:O. After bioware decided fully voiced protagonists were the way and a lot of the industry followed suit it ended up really pruning the amount of dialogue options.
