They honestly could not have picked a worse release window.

In a lot of ways, Enshrouded appeals to me. Valheim with more action RPG/MMO elements is an obvious hit to my interests, but I can't justify dropping $40 CAD so closely to paying roughly the same price for PalWorld, which admittedly had a much more different and interesting concept.

I'm sure I'll hop on board at some point, but this just wasn't the time.

Just finished setting up a dedicated server and playing with a couple friends for ~45 minutes. For a game that looks like "Copyright Infringement, Steam Tag Buzzword Soupz" edition, it feels surprisingly competent, and most importantly, fun, so far.

Sushi is just made with sushi rice. It has literally nothing to do with the shape of the food.

The problem is there's a massive divide between racism and the colloquial racism. One is a discussion of how beliefs and systems disadvantage people based on the status of their birth. The other is being mean to people because of the color of their skin.

Sure, both are "bad". But suggesting that they're the same thing or have similiar impact is laughable.

The "racism" Elon is on about doesn't exist, because people born into every potential benefit being unable to reap those benefits because we're doing our best to change the system aren't disadvantaged. But when you've been told your whole life that you deserve to win, you're inclined to cry "cheat!" every time the system is changed to be more fair.

You can be sexual and engage in pornography without objectifying yourself or others.

The better question is why we continue to allow our society to demonize sexuality. Own your sexuality. Fuck the church.

I tried to pick up Rayman Legends when it was I'd cheap over Christmas. I ran the game from Steam was greeted with the UPlay launcher asking me to make an account to access my game, and immediately closed and refunded the title.

Enshittification is real.

You could have just stopped at "allowed."

Including Jeopardy in a list of games like this is the kind of awkward "technically correct" dissonance I've come to expect from AI. What a weird inclusion.

They tend to innovate every major release, but, Monster Hunter. I find the games incredibly satisfying to play, and if they just extend the treadmill with more monsters and/or more increasing challenges, I am incredibly satisfied to play more of it.

Rhythm games in general. I'll go back to rhythm games I really enjoyed and play them again and again as is. Adding more songs/stages is huge value even without new mechanics.

Some games have just nailed systems where it feels good to press buttons, and once you've got that down, flat adding new raw content is satisfying.

Of course he was. He hated the job, so why else would he want it back?

I love the way that the cut-off for "incompetent elderly" magically seems to go up every time these schmucks hit a new decade.

It's genuinely time for these people to sit the fuck down and accept that they're outdated and shouldn't be leading anyone anymore. Just check into a home and relax for the rest of your life. I'm sure he can have his ego convinced that he's "earned it".

Right.

This is basically the same as saying that wearing a seatbelt is a terrible idea, because in rare cases it causes terrible damage to the wearer.

Let's just ignore the hundreds of thousands of people it helps and cherry pick cases that look bad. It's not like we're a people who rely on rational thought to progress.
