That thread is from a salty guy who only plays solo pvp. He is the exemplar of modern random gaming, and wants that for the last remaining place in wow where your name can earn a reputation.
WoW is a shitty game with shitty problems, but their mythic plus dungeon system was one of the few places where you could actually meet and interact with real people who you will see again like the old days.
Steam lets you just filter out LGBTQ+ tagged stuff from even showing up. If you explicitly search such a game by name, steam will tell you it was filtered and offer to show it to you anyway. And it won't hide anything you already bought, just keep this crap from getting tossed in your face by the storefront.
Brotato is possibly the best reverse-bullet-hell game I've played. Our family liked to sit down and pass the controller around playing it, and the latest beta version added an outright co-op mode so we can play together. It is entirely too fun, and simple enough the youngest can play too. All he has to do is move the potato around the screen trying not to get hit, and we can help him with the in between part where you have to read. It is stupid simple fun.
If you like roguelikes, Path of Achra is a very good one focused on tactics and building your character, also made with wokedot.
Oh my thanks for noticing, I worked really hard to get as bigoted as I am today!
I'd like to thank the modern left, without whom I'd still be a civic nationalist. I couldn't have made this journey without you, lefties!
Even if it is grift, I accept it because normies go along with whatever public sentiment says and so the only possible long term victory requires lots of people publicly holding these positions and not being destroyed. Their actual belief in the cause is not required.
It is highly unlikely that any studio which has been turned will be able to course correct. The woke don't care about the product, actively purge people who do care about the product, and tend to entrench in HR and management first. Nobody is going to root them out, the parasite will kill the host.
The best you can hope for is a new owner for the IPs you care about after the bankruptcy proceedings.
I checked the high seas and found this title getting barely double digit activity.
Their all time peak users is 47. Even if you added the piracy it wouldn't hit three digits. Nobody who lives in the real world and spends money wants this slop.
With this one simple step, you will automatically avoid essentially all the woke shit on steam without having to wait for a third party to call it out.
There is also the fact that raid leading in an MMO is basically the best training you could ever have for a career in management. Literally every task you are forced to deal with will be just as prevalent in the real world as it is there.
Amen to this. Leading large EverQuest and then WoW raids prepared me to step into management better than any other thing in my life. The overlaps were, frankly, shocking.
Management is deeply unpleasant though so I was glad to step out of that and back into a technical role at another company.
I have not been required to cough up a phone number, one account permanently banned, one new main account, and a third account I fire up when the second one gets suspended. I only use the desktop client, though.
The second account has posted things far "worse" than the first one did, and I've actually won two of the appeals out of the five one week bans it caught. It's like night and day.
It is still for sale on GoG, you can buy both entries today if you like.
I suspect they are actually in the clear because neither game is just Deadlock. The first one is actually "Deadlock: Planetary Conquest" and the second is "Deadlock 2: Shrine Wars"
They were both enjoyable too, if the art doesn't completely turn you off and you enjoy turn based strategy games they are worth playing.
Stellaris in particular basically turned into an entirely different game with the move from 1.9 to 2.0 when they ditched the three different FTL methods for hyperlanes for all, and again when they moved from 2.1 to 2.2 when they ditched planetary tiles for the jobs-based system still in use today.
It's fun to roll back to some of these prior versions now and then to enjoy those old systems. I actually liked the old starbase influence projection system from pre 2.0. Just wish I'd saved some of the mods.
so that the game is suddenly different even if you didn't buy the DLC or activate it.
They keep prior releases available under 'betas' in the properties of the game on steam, and you can roll back to basically any of them. The versions from before EU's GDPR became law don't meet the law's requirement to show you the games privacy policy so they are locked behind a code you can get from paradox where they show you their privacy policy first in order to be compliant. One code per game, and once entered the oldest versions remain available without further effort.
All of their main studio flagship titles can be rolled back to the version where the game was at its best, regardless of which version you think that is, and I really wish more studios offered this functionality. If they do something stupid we can keep playing a version where the game was still good.
Mods will be a bigger problem, but you can use Irony mod manager to bundle up a bunch of mods into one mega mod which you can then store somewhere for use with that particular version of the game and prevent your breaking from updates.
Hrrm the internet says you're right and it is supposed to be Mathematics. The institution I used to work with used Medicine instead, math was considered part of Science.
Of course, they also called IT "Institutional Technology", so guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Seriously, you can get new storage at under ten bucks a terabyte, three terabytes costs less than a family outing to fucking taco bell right now.
Here is a tool I use to watch for new disks for my own array. I mostly buy used at sub 8 dollars a terabyte.
