- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 3 days ago:
Fair point. I’ve played it on and off for years now, and I still have no fucking clue where the game wants me to go (although it’s a lot better now than it used to be). The storyline is… complex to say the least, and the game doesn’t do much to drive you an particular direction. Progression is also lateral, not vertical, so while you have a wide variety of options and directions to explore, they can be shallow and overwhelming at the same time.
On the plus side of that, every time I come back, it’s like a new game, but with the same combat / movement that got me addicted back when it was nothing but grind.

Warframe has some of the best movement in a game ever. Not exactly an MMORPG, not exactly Open World, but definitely space ninjas on crack.
Also, it can be played completely free. There is a paid currency model (platinum), but it’s tradeable between players (so you can trade items and earn Platinum), and most non-cosmetic items are obtainable through gameplay.
It’s been around since 2014, but keeps evolving and manages outperform AAA titles on the regular. If you like high fantasy sci-fi cosmic horror madness on drugs that won’t be invented for another 100 centuries or so, give it a shot.

If she’s a Berkeley professor, and can pull a head slam like that at 70+ years old, I’d say odds are 80% hippie vs maybe 20% mid 70s punk. Tell me she wouldn’t look right at home at a Grateful Dead concert, or rockin out to the Clash for that matter.
Plus, everyone who’s been to college knows that hippies make the best professors.

Don’t fuck with old hippies. Half of them have already been on the frontline of protest action since the 60s, and the other half are Vietnam vets. They will kick your ass.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 1 week ago:
I have two multi-racial disabled family members I care for. Even if I could leave the country, they couldn’t - very few nations allow the disabled to immigrate.
I’m here till the fight is done.

Feb 5th: First 50501 Protest - all 50 capitals
There wasn’t a unified protest movement at the beginning of Trump’s first term. It wasn’t until BLM started gaining traction that we started seeing real action on the streets. This time around, despite the total lack of leadership from the DNC, there were boots on the ground from day one.
It’s important to note that unlike Trump’s first term, the mass media now has a vested interest in not reporting the scale and size of the unrest, so they’re tamping down coverage wherever they can, and actively manufacturing consent by minimizing the impact of the protests.

- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, most new games just fucking suck. They’re too expensive, often don’t run properly at launch even on excellent hardware, and those that don’t have micro-transactions built-in require you to purchase DLC to get the whole game.
On the other hand, the older titles almost always run well on my machine, have a ton of community DLC, and in general are just designed better because they were built to bring the player as much fun as possible, not to extract as much money as possible.
Plus, the quality content generated from 2005 - 2015 represents some of the best ever, and can provide hundreds of hours of enjoyment before you even get into the 2010s. Why waste money on something that may not work, and that I likely won’t enjoy as much as the games I bought 10 years ago?
It’s why I usually wait at least a year after release to consider whether or not I’m going to buy a title.
