@ApexSeeker_ The easiest way is setting up an automatic saving plan (recurring purchase of ETF shares, setting aside an emergency cushion, etc) according to your budget and forget about it, once a year or two do a rebalancing. Whatever is left can be used as disposable money.
@japan_nobunaga Punctual? You're lucky if the train even shows up. One trip last year: the first train didn't even come, had to drive to the next city. Second trip: after five minutes the train stopped and got cancelled. Waited an hour, missed all following connections (and seat reservations)
@LilaPurplePasta Ehrlich gesagt, ich kann mit dem Thema nicht mehr. Ich vermisse die Zeiten wo man das Spiel gekauft hat oder eben nicht. Ich werde Blood Rain sicher kaufen, weil das Original Spiel eine gute Geschichte hatte und das gameplay spitze war. Alles anderes ist Hintergrundgeräusch.
@sarah_zickler Als ob die Mehrheit der Deutschen gegen Meinungsfreiheit und Wahrheit wäre.
Übrigens wenn ich meine Chefin was versprechen würde, um am nächsten Tag das Gegenteil machen würde, wäre ich meinen Job schnell los. Ich hätte besser Politiker werden sollen.
@MalonTerri0013@DanielVoll12251 Richtig, es geht um sich es leisten zu können. Die Indoktrinierung läuft aber eher durch das ÖRR (zusammen mit allgemeine Linke propaganda). Bin in DE seit 20 Jahre (importierte Physiker) und kann kaum glauben wie die Deutschen ständig damit bombardiert werden, selbst auf KiKa.
@Aurvethra@ChibiReviews You might have a point. Socials run on controversies, whether real or fabricated. As a fan of the first game, I would really like the discussion to be about the combat system or the look of the environment.
@KileeSakazaki@Bunneechan Unfortunately many western people don’t know what they are talking about. I admit I was ignorant too once. When I first started a job in Asia I thought most of my colleagues were way younger than me, while in fact some were even older.
@elamir1479@Bunneechan Indeed watching the trailer Alita came to mind. Gunnm is my all time favorite manga (the original, before they changed the ending to continue the story).
@YorchTorchGames The game is not even out. Aren’t you quick to judge?
Besides, while working in Asia I had colleagues looking like Evie. I sincerely fail to see what the issue is, other than western people needing to figure out why we age so badly.
@YorchTorchGames I don’t see a split fanbase. I see a fanbase and few algorithm pushed keyboard warriors that might not even be gamers, flocking over the latest topic to be outraged about.
The game will be a success, no matter what a handful of people say on X.
@AI_EmeraldApple If you’re not bound by Blackrock’s shackles, you can say what you think. Western devs might not like it, but have to play by the current rules. As stupid as it is, if you want money in the west, you still need high DEI scores to secure funds.
@Bunneechan If you’d make a poll among normal people on the street, instead of listening to the keyboard warriors, most wouldn’t even know the game has been announced. 2/2
@Bunneechan The truth is simply that social media provide a biased view on the conversation. Few fringe opinions are disproportionally represented because of the algorithm favoring them (“people are outraged”) whereas reality is that most don’t even know about the current topic. 1/2
@Bunneechan I miss those days when games like Bayonetta sparked the discussion only because of the amazing combat system, instead of activating Bkackrock sleeper agents.
@Bunneechan It’s well known that MixTape reviews have been bought (the press kit “present” alone should be viewed as bribery). Who’d have thought that Blackrock DEI policies, meant to put a nice coat on financial inequality mechanism would gaslight so many individuals to this level.
@dearcindyphan Well said. The whole discussion is kinda pointless. Don’t like it? Don’t buy it & move on. All detractors are probably not even gamers, otherwise they would know why the first game was great independently from Eve’s looks. Can’t wait to play BR. The world and combat look great.
@Vara_Dark We all know how this is gonna end. It won’t win any western prize, but it’ll end up being a bestseller anyway. Can’t wait to play it, the setting and combat look already amazing.
@Grummz Of course they cheered. Stellar Blade was objectively a spectacular game with great combat mechanics and a decent story.
This time around it looks even better and I too was awestruck by the city and overall atmosphere. It’s shaping up to become a huge success. Can’t wait to play!
