I appreciate you digging up the link and even timestamping the relevant area. Top class, thank you very much.
Also I forgot just how utterly massive of a cunt the Artesian CEO was. Man had significant Elon Musk vibes, Just didnt have the money or family money to stop his fall.
- Comment on Carcinisation? 2 weeks ago:
I tried about 6 months ago after falling deep into DoshDoshington’s various Factorio Mod and Challenge series.
I got about 15 hours in before I was just overwhelmed with what I was doing. I miss being young and eager.
- Comment on Carcinisation? 2 weeks ago:
the last time I gave factorio a serious run was waaaay back in its beta, before it was even finished and had an end game.
its just gotten so complicated since then that I get overwhelmed, especially when you start to scale up and realize you fucked something up and have to undo an entire day of shit to move something 2 tiles or something.

Its at least rare enough that it stood out enough for me to pause the video and go back to hear it again to confirm.

Google literally only pays firefox so it can point at firefox and go “Look, see, not anti-competitive/monopoly!”

Because hateful people always need an other. an outsider. Someone to feel fearful of, yet superior too.
It used to be black people.
then it was the irish and the itallians.
then it was hispanics.
then it was gays
and now its trans people.

1 is just a multilevel death match.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 4 weeks ago:
IF it comes out, its been years, already, and Konami isnt exactly the best company. I still hold true to the belief they only announced it to take thunder away from that game the suikoden creators made, never expecting the massive immediate interest which made them do a definitive “oh shit”, which probably accounts for the delays, since it probably didnt get started until they realized they put themselves in a corner, lol.
I dont blame you for not finishing 3, Imho 3 is the weakest of the suikoden games, the way the main story is divided between 3 prospectives that you keep bouncing between really hinders getting into it, at least in my opinion. by the time they all converge together at the end, it feels like you’ve only just started getting into the game and now its over.
4 had a good story, but I feel like they cranked the encounter rate up when they realized it didnt have enough game to last 40+ hours otherwise, because holy shit you cant seem to move more than 2 steps without a random battle.
5 is, I think, the distillation of everything good about Suikoden into 1 game. It shed all the bad mechanics, enhanced all the good mechanics, had a brilliant story, characters you fall in love with, and more. I would LOVE to see 5 come to PC. I dont even need a remaster, just a straight port.
And thats saying a lot because Suikoden 1 and 2 were goddamn brilliant, exceptional masterpieces in their own right.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 4 weeks ago:
yep. Good games are timeless.
Its why you can still go back and play great old games like Suikoden, or Final Fantasy, or Street Fighter, or whatever, without issue. cause they are timeless.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary 4 weeks ago:
is real good. and stands up too. still as good today as it was 20 years ago.
except the bridge level.
Fuck the bridge level.

and now, they are wanting to sell games for 70-80 bucks for AAA titles.
Its not cause the games are 50 dollars that they arent making enough hundreds of millions. The only reason these AAA games arent making bank is because they’re shit
Can anyone honestly remember the last AAA title that wasnt an absolute dog pile?

People keep saying SNES/N64/etc games were super expensive…and i just wanna ask where they were buying them?
Cause everytime I went into the stores to get one they were 49.99.

regular reminder that digital distribution was sold to us under the false promise that games would be cheaper, because they wouldnt have to pay for printing boxes, CDs, manuals, greebles, Wouldnt have to pay for shipping or storage, or any other burden addition of physical media.
That we’d be able to buy games for 30 dollars, and that that the developers and everyone involved would make more money than they would have paying 50 for a physical game.

People seem to forget that just moderately decent games sell magnitudes more today than they did 20 years ago, too, thus continuing to bring in insane cash (as long as you arent sony or rockstar and being obscenely wasteful…) despite inflation, this making them a good entertainment investment for people whose minimum wage hasnt changed in like 15 years

Lutris lets you add your GOG account and download/install games directly. its not Galaxy, but its pretty flawless.

Okay steam, if its just a digital license and not ownership… Then surely you’ll be significantly lowering prices, Since you charge full ownership prices for games, not license prices… Right?
- Comment on Ok boomer 2 months ago:
Yeah, and you know where they are? stocking shelves and picking for the online pickup orders. Not running checkout lines.
- Comment on Ok boomer 2 months ago:
i would say even 10 items is to much for self checkout, but thats better than walmart expecting you to take a cartful of monthly groceries through self checkout.
- Comment on Ok boomer 2 months ago:
not in any walmart where i’ve witnessed the changeover.
- Comment on Ok boomer 2 months ago:
Which is why I’m against making people do big orders through self checkout, cause thats when an accident can happen.
Not when you’re getting your genital itch cream.
- Comment on Ok boomer 2 months ago:
Don’t need to get to a judge. They can just tresspass you and then you have to drive 30 miles to another supermarket cause you cant ever set foot in that one again.
Thats enough to fuck shit up for a lot of people.
- Comment on Ok boomer 2 months ago:
Its cute that you are trying to twist what I said into something that I didnt say.
No wait, not cute. the opposite of that.
- Comment on Ok boomer 2 months ago:
I mean, walmart could easily fix that by having fucking cashiers.
At the walmart I go to they put in like 60 self checkouts and have, maybe, one cashier running at a time.
I don’t mind self checkout as a concept. Its fine if you are just buying a couple things, or something you might be personally embarassing for you… but they are not a replacement for cashiers.
Cashiers and belts are needed to handle bigger purchases like monthly groceries and shit.
Unless you are gonna take 25% off my bill for labor savings, I am not going to take my monthly shopping through a self checkout. I had to once when I had no choice, and I’ll never do it again.
