I played through the story once and then uninstalled it. Biggest waste of money I’ve spent on a game.

Please see this very thorough Jimquisition video that debunks the harmlessness of “purely cosmetic” microtransactions. They are predatory and feed on those who are most vulnerable like addicts and the neurodivergent.

I like every Doctor that came before and after him, but damn do I miss Matt Smith’s Doctor.

Instead of playing damage control once players find out a new game is a live service, maybe stop making live service games. How many have actually made the kind of money that publishers are chasing? Now compare that to how many have flopped because people have realized that “live service” just means $80 for an early access game with minimal content to grind through at launch and a “roadmap” of updates which invariably includes DLC, microtransactions and battlepasses you’ll have to pay extra for, and that’s if the game even survives long enough to get there.

Or, alternatively…

That’s the one. I felt bad leaving without a word but it was spur of the moment. I just got the sudden realization like I was a teenager still hanging out in the McDonalds Play Place and quietly noped out the door.

Not that I have anything against gen z. I just couldn’t relate to most of what they were saying. So I guess a better analogy is that I was like an old man wandering around the mall surrounded by teenagers. Except malls are dead now so gen z still won’t relate. Hence: bumbling grandpa.

I also joined the RetroDaze forum before that but there were only two or three other active users and I got the impression at least one of them was an “I voted for Trump” type of guy.

I was active on an “Old Web Revival” forum for a while last year. I was expecting it to be populated by nostalgic gen x and millennials, but it turned out to mostly be zoomers romanticizing the '90s and thinking they could save the internet with Neocities.

After realizing I was the oldest person there I felt like a bumbling grandpa telling meandering stories of the way it used to was, so I eventually left. I haven’t been able to find another retro nostalgia forum since then.

I really liked this in early access. It kinda feels like a cross between Quake and Gothic.

It reminds me of that Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode where Bart and Homer get on the second rocket with Tom Arnold and Pauly Shore.

I assumed it was a German word.

You’re probably right, sadly.

100% of my excitement for this game died the second it was revealed to be a live service. I feel bad for the developers, but I hope this flops harder than Avengers so publishers will finally stop pushing this garbage. But then they’ll of course find some other garbage trend to chase in the hopes of turning every game into a subscription.

Why not keep labor benefits and raise taxes on the rich? Oh, because conservatives hate the working class.

The reason why I hate people is because of the things they do to hurt each other, because I actually like people.

That’s what I like about The Orville, actually. Even when the series became more serious, I still saw it as like Star Trek if all the officers were actual people.

I say it like George Takei saying “oh my”.

Cynical is probably the wrong word for what I was thinking of. I’m mostly referring to Mariner and her “too cool for school” attitude and teasing Boimler. She comes across as too negative to me.

Ah, here’s where we diverge. I still like the new BSG. It got a bit too psychedelic in the later seasons making everything feel too dreamy, but overall I like it. I actually have the same complaint about season 4 of Farscape when Crichton spends half the episodes stoned, but it’s still one of my favourite shows. I’m a sucker for a creepy Jim Henson puppet show.
