Good, bad… I’m the guy with the gun.

Radical!

You’re gonna need a bigger boat…

They think it literally does not matter, and sales kinda reinforce this. The game was an enormous hit on release, but I think it gradually eats away at the faith of the customers as their experience falls to shit in the endgame where the rushed development is glaringly obvious. That’s gotta add up and will eventually have an impact cause they sure as shit aren’t learning the right lessons. Always remember the best outcome for the top deciders is the quickest biggest buck, and they will throw ANYTHING under the bus that challenges that. Especially thoughtful and rich game design which takes time and love to produce right.

I do agree, but indirectly, cause social media isn’t inherently bad; It has been manipulated and exploited by oligarchs into weapons for information scraping and data theft. Zuck… Musk… Don’t let them slink away into the shadow and blame the tech. There was a time when social media was mostly enriching and had a potential for community building, and they took that from us to profit massively. The internet is dying, and it’s those psychotic freaks that have done it.

NO. Do NOT meddle with my X-Files just because you want to satisfy some selfish bullshit. Good DAY, sir.

You are under-reacting to this, or you support it. Why else would you attack me and my credibility when nobody can deny what we’re all witnessing?

I pick crit role every time, those goddamn Wizards lost the plot. They got Rincewind at the damn helm.

Expect this from corpo-slop. This is New America, where all legacy media bent to threats from a despot instead of doing their fucking jobs. They’re complicit, and they should be standing next to this admin against the wall after the fallout.

Introducing: Pay More, Say More

Surely this can’t become deeply problematic for the social fabric.

Dicklesstater would be more effective Gavin…

Tim Weenie can go kick rocks, barefoot.

Completely agree with this, and also fully expecting to see that with cars too. I’ve heard of some models with onboard computers and displays showing people ads at traffic stops, it’s wild as is. But I’m certain all those CEOs and owners fully believe we should just own nothing and be happy. Everything should be rentals or subscriptions to fully cement their parasitism. And then they act surprised when people feel crushed and desperate. I my humble opinion they should fuck all the way off.

this is 50% factual in that coop is 100% the reason for the game franchise existing and succeeding. BL2 is pretty much the peak of the series too IMO, this is such a weird and dumb move by Gearbox, just trying to profit off useful hype for BL4, reminding people what it might be like in a timely manner is profit enough on release, but they wanna act like we don’t know what they’re doing. I can’t tell if this is to kneecap the fanbase’s expectation of good multiplayer ahead of time, or what. Let’s just say I’m skeptical they’re giving away a janky version of BL2 because they’re extremely confident their new release will do well, pretty revealing to me.

Shoutout to this LIST! 100% certain I’ve been unable to contain my emotions watching all of these. To me that’s a marker for quality, so props on your good taste!

Hey fellow 41 year old dude, I also cry at this stuff. It seems especially pronounced when rewatching nostalgic productions with well written characters and conflict (I will not apologize for crying all the time during Avatar the last Airbender, as an adult man). No, I do not know what this means in regard to healthy emotional processing, it just is what it is. Mind you I also get unjustifiably angry or emotional in other contexts when I feel connected to the fate of a character and they experience injustice. So this might be a general marker for some level of empathy or maybe just emotional mimicry. Thanks for posting, I think this is something people should be okay talking about more.

Edit: I wanted to add this also occurs in other mediums, like video games. Cyberpunk 2077 was like a revolution in awareness for me, but largely because I experience DID to a degree in my life, and it really flipped the table of my understanding of myself seeing what I experience through the eyes of others.

Better not miss if you’re gonna come swing at the great. As a former Rocket League enjoyer who had Epic games shit up the game I bought BEFORE they got the rights; I say it’s physically impossible for Epic to fuck far enough off, but they can fuck themselves all the way to the event horizon of off and stare whistfully at the off that cannot be fucked. Forever.

And the operation turned out to be a complete success! Looks like a good strategy going forward.

Not one person on this entire site can tell me anyone should trust tRump in ANY situation, let alone one where he has leverage over you and interest in… your stuff. Expect more of this by the way; turns out when you’re a constant asshole to everyone, nobody wants to be around you or rely on you, let alone offer to extend help in your direction. I’m honestly baffled what people fucking expected, only brainrotted simps believe in the real adult world, on the global stage, you can twist everyone’s arms to get your way without consequence forever. And only tRump can’t see this cause that’s been his ENTIRE life: No consequences ever for being the absolute worst person regarding character and conduct.

Man I love to see that abusive Owl grovel. I also did this, good on you OP, may they see a consequence for threatening something good for the sake of greed. Eventually nothing is enough for the managers and they burn the whole thing down because of their personal addiction. This harms lives. We need to jail CEOs abusing power this way, that’s the actual remedy.

My point is the question is terrible, and one might as well answer however they like. It’s a basic logic test dressed up in fractions, the only answer is one pizza is bigger, but that’s apparently wrong, so you HAVE to be creative in describing how to solve the logical problem. Does this help you?
