Yeah, I’m not mad that they chomped Humankind’s flavor. I see it as an admission that the game had good ideas (if less-than-stellar execution). I’ve just seem rando comments trying to tamp down on claims that there are similarities like their stock portfolio is riding on it.

I’m sure it’s management’s fault but they should be shouting out fellow devs in their breakdowns: “oh, we saw Humankind and thought it’s mechanic was fascinating. But we wanted to adapt it closer to our style and refine some pain points we noticed in our execution.”

Wow, I found this at 9 am for me too! I’m also going to reset my day.

“*Video game piracy is not stealing” is closer to a statement I can get onboard with. A trivial example to disprove the former statement is the classic, seafaring pirate.

But a more salient example would be pirating music. If you have a pirated copy of an album such that you don’t need to buy another and don’t stream it from any official sources, you are materially and negatively impacting that artist.

Edit: it came to mind after I posted you might hold the position “I haven’t taken anything from them and I wouldn’t have bought it regardless of my pirating, so I haven’t deprived them of anything.” A position I’ve seen a number of times and fundamentally disagree with. Not trying to be rude but I’m not going to engage with that particular thought experiment.

Fuck, I’m ready to try anything at this point.

…the rest of that resume must be absolutely insane. Or he’s applying to be a businessman.

I’m out here with a Master’s degree and 3 years of work experience and I’m not even getting a first call. Shit’s tough out here.

Now this is businessing!

‘Console exclusivity’ is a tier of exclusivity that’s existed for years already.

Yeah, how did they commit this to anywhere that would hurt?

Eh, if she isn’t just performatively wealthy, she’d just get into cocaine and be the same as all the other vaguely functional cokeheads.

You only get to the methed-out, dumpster-huddling, bj-for-scraps stages of drug addiction that original tweeter seems to schadenfreud’ing for when you’re poor/have no more rich druggie friends

Didn’t even start reading because the title is very “yea…and?” A lot of the stuff we have are hand-me-downs from military research.

The original comment was talking about the openers for Kevin Hart, not Kevin Hart himself. So the punchline shouldn’t have been made by Hart or about Hart’s son.

I agree that the skill-locked purchase of physical equipment is garbage but I found myself sticking on the question of if you got the ‘de-facto’ best ship part for each category because you had the relevant skill.

Like some quest is occuring and, in dialogue, you have a choice locked by being the most-skilled pilot and choosing it leads to one set of the best ship parts. How does that flow? Does that read as the same thing, or is it more enjoyable now as a reward for character build?

Same! I’m hoping to get a modlist sorted and played before getting into Fallout: London, another astounding mod-effort that will reinvigorate a boring base game.

What is an “ai task”? Their task is anything we assign them to do.

“Ye- oh! Ha. Nice try, bite guy.”

I’m gonna try and save you time and money. Just wait for modders to make that game in Skyrim. I’m fairly sure Beyond Skyrim: Elsweyr isn’t as far along as some of the others, but you’ll have other major mods to play in the meanwhile.

No. But I have seen Twitch recommend a stream of a person sleep with their ass artistically posed to the camera about a week ago.

Yes, I clicked on it. It was quite a shapely ass. They had been streaming for more than 6 hrs and had thousands of “viewers” even while ‘asleep’.

Yea, sure, Twitch

They were just tired of fielding questions of why the camgirls were exempt from the rules everyone else was following. Now it’s because it’s “artistic”.
