achieving ANYTHING by trying to cancel dead actors or nonagenarians. it's pointless signaling so you feel more woke. shut the fuck up and focus on shit that actually matters you useless cunts. god FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA. logging off, fuck this bullshit world you idiots have created.
previous rant notwithstanding, every time i open this website, i remember why i deleted twitter from my phone. fuck me running. trending is once again people pissing on about a dead actor and a guy so old color tv didn't exist when he was on it.
fuck social media.
99% of people as old as clint eastwood are racist. 100% of people who were as old as john wayne was were racist. if you had been born in 1910 you would have been racist too. this is so fucking irritatingly pointless. god dammit you... you... YOU ARE NOT, NOT, NOT
TL;DR consoles got online play, Halo came out, and then douchebag nerdbros who love that e-peen stroking shit heard about WoW and now all MMO's cater to them.
fucking normals.
Just watched a video about why MMORPG's are no good anymore, it made some valid points but missed the truth: it's WoW's fault. WoW went mainstream, and when that happened the player base changed dramatically. A genre that was once populated by a smallish group of awkward nerds
Yes things similar to "raids" existed in Anarchy Online, SWG, Asheron's Call, DAoC, etc, but we didn't call it that, and it wasn't the focus, it wasn't the goal. It was simply more shit to do after we'd done everything else. But now? It's everything.
(yes I know Lost Ark is free, I paid $15 for a founder's pack to get in early and make sure I got a character slot on the NA server so i didn't have to play on EU like with FFXIV)
I'm a masochist. I keep giving Elden Ring more chances. But the truth is, the game's biggest problem isn't that it's hard, (it is absurdly hard) it's that, apart from killing bosses, nothing you do matters. It all resets whenever you save/level up.
there's no sense of achievement or accomplishment unless, again, you kill a boss.
which is maybe why even though I bought both games around the same time, I only have 16 hours in Elden but 76 hours in Lost Ark. /shrug
At least 20% of the shit in my apartment that CPM is gonna fuck with me over is other people's shit, friends, relatives, childhood shit my parents unloaded on me that I didn't want, shit that I was to "hang on to for a while" and a "while" became years.
