Thanks, I got the game based on your review.

I've heard that many gamers are frustrated by how the re-spawning works. Load from a saved game? Enemies respawn. Move to a different zone? Enemies respawn. So you'd better not clear out a nest of enemies and then save and quit, because the next time you come back to the game, all the enemies will be back and ready to kill you.

I haven't run into this yet, but it seems frustrating. It can be avoided with a little planning, though.

Also, there is a console in the game, which is neat. Games don't do that anymore.

They should have followed the bible's command that women should not be in positions of authority or leadership, then none of this would have happened.

Why care so much about what some rando in the internet said to you?

Well, the bible continues on after that "sell your cloak and buy one" bit. Where, in those later chapters of the bible, do Christians ever start fighting and using those swords? Never.

Instead, after Peter struck the ear of the slave of the high priest, Jesus told him to put away his sword, healed the slave's ear with a touch, and said to Peter "those who live by the sword, die by the sword". You should remember that Jesus told them all to get swords right before he was to be taken away. Yet he did not allow them to fight in his defense. Why? Because his Kingdom, and theirs, was not of this world.

What was the point of the swords then? To use as a prop in order to teach them what not to do. Also, it was necessary to fulfill prophecy: Luke 22:37

Don't worry, there will be scores of immigrants willing and able to repopulate the various western countries this happens in.

Almost as if that was the plan from the beginning.

"I am the man who is wearing two shoes..."

Has any other subreddit ever had a 72 hour ban before? It seems like with other subreddits they just ban them permanently with zero warning. For example, see whatever "gamingmemes" subreddit that gamingcirclejerk was gloating over getting banned.

Of course, it's no surprise that certain subs get special treatment based on their politics.

Of course, this was prophesied in the bible in several places. One of those is 2 Timothy 4:3,4 https://biblehub.com/2_timothy/4-3.htm

You get to experience first-hand how game companies get infiltrated and subverted from within. Congrats! You can either do something about it or let it happen, until eventually they kick you out of your own group, dox you, and cancel you.

So many deleted handshake comments here. I guess that means this is a must-watch!

someone who thinks you can litigate away human flaws

So true. See "A conflict of visions" by Thomas Sowell. Some people think that human nature doesn't exist, but it's the "systems" that are corrupting them, and if only the systems could be fixed, then all of humanity's woes would perish.

According to gameplay footage (from dunkey) you get to throw bolts when the game fully opens up.

For me, and for what I've heard about their "innovative AI technology", I don't think I would like it. I dislike that sort of "AI spawns in a radius around you" thing.

"If you don't like this poster, don't look at it. You clearly aren't the target audience. It wasn't made for you, tourist!"

Good for him

"...gracias por venir aquí soportar presidente Trump..."

Soportar sounds like "support", but it actually means "to put up with", or "to tolerate". The word for "support" is "apoyar", which sounds like "approve".

Perhaps it's just a regional thing, where wherever he grew up (Cuba? Venezuela? Here?), has a different meaning, or is actually just Spanglish, but that's not what the official Spanish dictionary says.

Update: The rest of Second Wind have responded. https://nitter.poast.org/SecondWindGroup/status/1824135694723277201#m

Basically, they don't respond to everything Frost said and all stand by Nick.

Paints this comment from him in a new light: https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/17tL6L9VNY/we-cant-expect-these-journalists/c/

A content creator that worked with Nick and Yahtzee at The Escapist and now Second Wind. He and Yahtzee were the only content creators that were profitable.

Summary copy/pasted from Grummz: (archive)

Frost details why he resigned from Second Wind and his problems with Nick Calandra. Claims made and exposed in this video include:

• History of slandering, libeling, blackballing and threatening to mobilize his audience against people in the games industry with the explicit intend to harm their careers.

• Gamurs (Escapist owners) were going to demote and fire Nick, giving control to the others.

• Nick was making/made a documentary for a studio in exchange for a four thousand dollar investment in Nick's kickstarter

• Nick tried to micro manage every creative decision, steering content to validate his views while minimizing critism of his views.

• He Isolated, overworked, verbally attacked and manipulated his coworkers.

• He blackballed small indie devs if they asked for coverage too many times. He discouraged others from doing pro-bono coverage of indie games so he could charge them instead.

• Mislead the community into the costs of the business in order to elicit more money from them in sympathy.

• Even though he was not a top earner for Second Wind, he was paid 2nd highest. He replied: "I'm accustomed to a certain lifestyle and have a mortgage to pay."

• His business decisions overspent and ballooned costs at Second Wind to over 1M, a 40% increase for no real benefit.

• Nick constantly went for power grabs within Second Wind. Nobody picked Nick to lead SWG, it's just that nobody else wanted it.

• Nick cyberstalked his peers in the industry to the point of making them uncomfortable.

And so much, much more in this video. Give it a watch.

Nick is the man who worked for 3 months to slander me and attack my character and business. It turns out it was all gaslighting and manipulation and harassments, part of a pattern that is revealed in this video of his entire tenure in the industry.

He was projecting. Everything he falsely accused me of, was actually his own dealings, unethical, and stalker-ish behavior.

Nick has done some damage to my reputation and my game with his lies and manipulated tweets. But, we're still here, and Nick is rapidly on the way out.

If he doesn't, and rejects the will of the community (the reason why KiA2 was created in the first place), then we will all know where we stand. We will be free to leave for KiA3.

What more do you want him to do besides banning? What more CAN he do?

Regardless, our mod cannot be trusted to appoint any other mod.

So don't trust him. Trust the users to nominate a mod that they trust, then all Dom needs to do is give him powers.

Marxists are known to do shitty things and then backtrack half way if the backlash gets too much. And then seek mercy

When do they ever do that? All I see is "double down", "deny reality" and "edit historical records".

Like I've said in the past, we can be more organized about this

Make a new topic with a list of nominees, collect votes, and then in a separate topic, present the results.
