If their takeaway from this decade’s comedy of errors is to make more Metroid, I’d say let them cook. Dread was a little too easy (a scrub like me could beat it) but they could do worse than keep fine tuning that recipe.

I am certain it does not. Bad judgement is more universal to humans than the age recommendation on a LEGO box.

Totally uncomfortable with the existence of their own dick, plus dating a girl. Quick maths, anon is a lesbian.

This might be my favourite thing he’s said yet

Denying it is the most fun part of having done it

That’s it, Lemmy has gotten too mainstream. Going to go outside and watch birds or something.

That’s what they get for hiring the first parents who ask for the job.

When Elder Scrolls had a character sheet, you designated specific skills that would contribute to leveling. Stealth archers were only as common as the people who preferred that play style.

Archery did kinda suck in ES3 though. Point being, incidental play didn’t sabotage your character authorship. Character sheets are great.

This comment really makes me feel like Spider-Man

The worst part is that their assets are going to simply be bestowed on whoever whatever entity it was willed, and the accumulation itself is the problem, so even the actual supposed benefit is zero. Killing billionaires only makes the actual disparity more inefficient, you have to break up that wealth in a real way for it to be good at all.

I was content to be using it over a decade ago when nobody knew what I was talking about

Defenestration order detected

I certainly do. Bye!

That’s an interesting framing device you’ve got there; But yes, in the cases of antisocial personalities and narcissists. They have a markedly diminished capacity for empathy.

I don’t care who made it, I’m not getting into an unmanned tiltrotor for love or money.

The problem is that a normal person can be talked into doing something not in their best interest. A narcissist could only ever be lured away to something bigger.

It’s nakedly hagiographic, so of course a random conservative lemmy mod is going to defend it. De gustibus some disputandum, eh?

When businesses don’t do what we want, it’s censorship. Free speech is when we do stuff other people don’t want. Can I get a hell yeah, boys?

Boys?

Multiple truths at play here. BM is a turd, and Zionism is the worst kind of colonialism (genocidal). For-profit atheism is not a good source of sane facts stated calmly.

I agree. It does seem like media literacy vis a vis video games is not as generally strong as it ought to be, and if people did have a deeper understanding of game design, art, and writing in general even a brief look at gameplay would be enough for most people to make up their minds. If you have an even somewhat strong understanding of games I think it’s not too hard to sense at a glance how the game you’re seeing is trying to contribute to the conversation in game development. Between that, weighted reviews, and even the thumbs up or down from one familiar reviewer is usually enough for me to tell if I will get my money’s worth. I almost can’t remember the last time I bought a game on this basis and wasn’t happy - it was Nier: Automata actually, and that was basically because I didn’t like the feel of the combat, which is hard to spot. Didn’t even get to all the bleak philosophy stuff I was looking forward to, I just bounced off it hard.
