As soon as she finds one with enough money, she will toss aside her aversion for video games instantly for all but the most repulsive obsessed cucked men, which would be leftist anyway.
Oh and I find fake blond hair and horse face not at all attractive, so...
religion of Peace & Quiet
All the way up until they start blasting 5 minutes of dreadful moaning sounds full blast all across the cities five times a day.
Yeah, they didn't make anything worth buying and they can't admit it. I have no expectation of recreating the wheel for every game, but it's just so generic. I could download hundreds of ROMs that would be easy to run and likely offer a better experience.
You know how it is, it's none different than the demands to X from major governments. We demand you ban speech we don't like. It's not politics, it's banning Nazis. This is about human decency. etc.
They want Steam to not allow any negative discourse with respect to current thing.
My guess with AAAs is stock price manipulation and/or outside investment from the Blackrocks of the world. It's far too obvious to just send them a bribe, but to quietly imply that they will hire Sweet Babies or some other such firm or the cash inflow from Blackrock to their stock price will stop, that's all it takes.
I'm not so sure about any government payout to indies. The developers are just woke. I can almost see the office buttsex from watching the trailer. It's a game made by artists. I could make 2D character movement and projectiles in a weekend in Godot, and half the work is done and I just need some art. Much of the other things like parallax scrolling is built in.
I'm not even saying that is a bad thing for it to be a simple game. I like the idea. But it is missing the charm of what it aims to copy, particularly in the character design. They all look kinda just, gay. I've seen more than my share of pixel characters of old (and typically Japanese) and they don't.
justification for pirating our game
Not the right method in my opinion. Don't pirate the woke games, rather not play them at all.
Oh, and they should have just left pronouns out. It's not normal. Besides any avoidance of woke, pronouns are a red flag that the creators of the game are idiots and the game is shit.
Yeah, I haven't actually followed enough of the new stuff, I know I've seen some shades of "was the Sith really that bad?"
I guess my argument was more when it was new and not in George Lucas retrospective. There is tension in the original trilogy as a first time watcher, you expect good to win, but you don't know. Luke is about to be killed mere seconds before the destruction of the Death Star, and mere minutes before the end of the film. There's already been conflict and failure in the movie to keep you thinking, Obi Wan was killed, etc. It's so different from the "woo hoo, the hero is here to kick ass and chew bubblegum" from a Disney-Marvel. Of course with respect to Star Wars, if you've seen it a trillion times you know what will happen. But yeah, I didn't think it was the best example anyway, and it still pales in comparison to most of the Marvel stuff.
No, I'm implying that Disney turns them to shit without DEI.
I think they'd have cooked Star Wars even if the DEI wasn't present. They'd have Disney-Marvelled it anyway. Disney doesn't like ambiguity, it has to be binary heroes vs villains. The stories are all the same.
Star Wars isn't the best counter to that, but there was always lingering doubt. Was there good in Vader? Would Luke turn? Would the republic win? Yeah, in hindsight you know what happens, but in the moment there are questions.
Can't they see? That dog is brown. The other dog they mention outstanding in the article is black. They did not kill a man, they were merely sharing their culture.
I don't know a ton about it but I may check it out. I'd far, far rather read political commentary than videos. Most of the videos are too damn long and just repeat themselves.
We don't give them money. I always use Call of Duty as an example because it's something I know and it was not fueled by microtransactions. Not only do they out-sell previous titles, for example Modern Warfare 2 in 2022 broke all of their records, but then from reports I've seen they make $5 million per day from all the bullshit they sell. I believe it too, I played it a few months ago with my cousin on a "free weekend." My observation, 75% of players at minimum have a current-release cosmetic skin, which costs $20-$30.
Roblox is publicly traded, in the last 12 months their revenue was $3.16 billion. I have no idea how they don't make money. Talk to any < 13 year old kid and see how many Roblox gift cards they have gotten for birthday presents. It's a TON.
Then you come to someone like me, it pains me to pay $70 for a new game. I actually don't think I ever have. I rarely pirate, I take advantage of sales. Let's assume there's an annual release game that launches working and complete and I value having enough to spend $70 on every year. They have to sell 45 million copies annually to match that Roblox money. It's just not going to happen.
Edit to add for context: Nintendo games often fit that last model. As an example, Zelda Breath of the Wild has sold over 30 million copies. Being one of if not the most sold games on Switch. They would have to do that every year, and still come out behind.
I wouldn't be all that shocked by a subscription to play a game. I don't think they'd ever come out and say, this "you must pay us for anticheat." That would open them to legal liability, as cheaters are going nowhere yet you are paying to not have them.
It would be much simpler to make some spiel about "we charge monthly to provide you a great service we can't do with a free model, better servers, more monitoring for cheaters, blah, blah, blah."
I don't know how many players that would run off though. They make so much money off their skins and P2W things, should they not just focus on getting an additional $20 a month from players by selling them more garbage?
Well I'm still justified to have quit multiplayer, the future is kids who got a brain implant at 5 and spend 8 hours a day their whole life playing these games. It would be even less of a contest than it is now.
Journalists really are the worst profession. At least whores are honest.
I would hope he learned the lesson from the first time, but honestly I've not really seen any evidence of a lesson learned from the past 4 years. It's not being a doomer and I'm voting for him too, but I kinda expect a repeat of the first four. I wonder if he would be duped by another pandemic?
I'm surprised they are still allowed to call them poor. C'mon now you racist, they are persons of color who are people experiencing homelessness who are also people experiencing less financial privilege.
Because of course they do. If Trump pulls off a win, the first day he needs to be doing MASS firings at these agencies. Otherwise, just wait for suddenly every thing they report to not be propped up by lies anymore.
I was thinking about making a post here later with some actual screen caps of different games, so I may very well do that still.
I was messing with setting up a few of my emulators yesterday on my somewhat freshly-installed PC, and of course as a byproduct getting distracted in a game. So I end up in Crazy Taxi of all things. I couldn't help but realize there's no way in hell these characters or this game exists in this form today. I ended going through a few other Dreamcast games, not high-thought, intense story, deep RPGs, just some regular old arcade type stuff. All it did was serve to remind me that the fun had been sucked out of games so badly.
I'll drop a link to the characters just for illustration sake, this is not a photo I uploaded I just found it obviously. https://wallpapercave.com/wp/wp9608256.jpg
A huge subset of the world is fake. My observation, those that have nice things or a nice life keep it to themselves. Those that go to great lengths to present their greatness really don't actually have it. Even ones that do it's the ones whose things are fleeting from being full of debt, or being a thug or something that will end up shot or ODed.
A metaphor I'm always telling my cousin, who's a teenager and grown up in the world of social media too much, and also fits the dirty mind of someone that age. It's just a dick measurement contest, quit measuring. Basically, quit comparing yourself to liars on the internet. They are lying. The real alpha exudes confidence and uses that confidence to claim the woman while the betas are distracted in their petty fights for dominance.
This is just their pitch to give the useful idiots talking points to own the rich. They won't implement something like this directly in the way they say. They'd exempt houses under a certain amount typical to what an average person would have, probably drop a lower limit of income to qualify right in the middle of middle class. Lots of ways out for investments the elite rich, remember that's where the politicians make their money. So really it will only burn successful small business, which they'd love to happen and not be that affected by.
It's going to be a death by a thousand cuts, not one big one.
So wait, white doesn't exist? So what do I default to next then? Black? Jew? American Indian? I'll take my free shit now.
I'm not well versed in any of Star Trek lore at all so any bastardization of that will be lost on me. So all I see is absolutely dreadful writing, casting, acting, and music.
