It was pretty hostile but there was a lot of democratic process and the key thing was the ratcheting up over a good 10 years before they really went for power. They would take small pieces of power and grow their control incrementally until they had too much momentum for any other group to deal with them. Also some groups thought they could use them to their advantage and reign them in when things were sorted. They were getting the highest votes but it was a mixture of a lot of things and they pretty quickly stopped being democratic votes after the first few elections. Lots of propaganda, a large amount of coercion at least initially, some blindness and unforeseen consequences but a decent portion of the population supported the whole thing. At least that’s my understanding.

Yeah I thought the literal definition of a meme is an idea that gets shared

Yeah hunt is great, love the atmosphere, the tools, the learning curve and the stupid interactions. Hunt loss is pretty minor though, takes maybe a few alright rounds to get the fun perks and then you can just buy whatever gear.

I’m pretty sure there’s nothing you can buy that has any effect on gameplay so idk where you got P2W from.

There are a lot of ways to shoot for the moon that don’t end with anything close to an orbit. Though it’s pretty hard to get out of orbiting the sun from here…

UE5 can do some very neat things but it’s overkill for most games
- Comment on Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect 4 weeks ago:
Tbh with FFXIV you only have to buy the 2? Most recent expacs and you can play free up to 70/100 and the accompanying story stuff without. It doesn’t do the limited time free trial anymore.

Not really, you can play league entirely unranked though the matchmaking will still try to put you in similar skill matches. So you will get an ELO/MMR but that’s not a rank anyone sees.

Not with that attitude
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 5 weeks ago:
My complaint about borderlands 3 was the cringe main antagonists. Like I’m happily shooting stuff and they hop in with painfully mediocre snippets of whatever they’re supposed to be doing. Also they killed off one of the best characters. The gunplay felt nice, the music and graphics were good. I didn’t have any real technical issues.

Here in the UK you can get some home-bake pastry tubes that look identical to that and you also twist open them. Things like a roll of proto-pan au chocolat or the big raw cinnamon roll. You just slice them up and cook

- Comment on Bruh, chill 4 months ago:
So I was taught that undertaking is technically not illegal but it’s bad practice, hogging the overtake lanes when there’s nobody on your left is the actual offence. (UK before anyone driving on the incorrect side says anything). But yeah there’s still a reasonable speed to keep at on main roads in most conditions.
- Comment on Anon makes a modern game 4 months ago:
From what I’ve seen of the oblivion remaster, the new lighting is actually a huge improvement and the main thing carrying the graphics.
