My partner and I love the Horizon games and I got the big special statue edition of Forbidden West. I think the game looks pretty neat, and very happy to hear they are dropping live service.

I wasn’t sure if posting the leaks themselves would be allowed here. They can be found with a little digging.

It’s a hell of a convincing fake, if it is. And Take 2 has been going after them like crazy to get them removed.

The core topic of this conversation was our very disagreement about that assertion. You say you can tell (and that it’s obvious), and I say you cannot. Then we discussed the merits of each position. I thought that was clear much earlier on, so it seems strange to me that you’re only now realizing that we have that disagreement.

Well, up until right now I thought we were having a conversation in good faith.

Then why would it be something that you would associate with “looking trans”?
- Comment on Not Enough Hate 4 days ago:
It shouldn’t be controversial to say that surgery oftentimes leaves clues that it was performed or that lots of trans people have had surgery.
Would you assert that the majority of people who have had cosmetic surgery are trans?
- Comment on Not Enough Hate 5 days ago:
this phenomenon is not exclusive to trans people.
We agree on this. Now, can you see why framing something that is not exclusive to trans people as “looking trans” is transphobic? Can you see how people would use things described as “looking trans”, even when they are in no way exclusive to trans people, purely because they were described that way? And how that can be problematic? Such as “transvestigators” (like TERFs) incorrectly identifying and targeting cis women with hatred.
- Comment on Not Enough Hate 5 days ago:
there is a common set of characteristics associated with any kind of surgical or hormonal body modification
So do you not see any irony that we’re talking about a cis man who has had surgical modifications and people are saying he “looks trans”? Do you not see how that undercuts your point at all?
- Comment on Not Enough Hate 5 days ago:
And my point is that it doesn’t exist. Many people that “transvestigators” think “look trans” are actually cis women. Or in the case of this post, a cis man. Saying someone “looks trans” is transphobic and not based on anything of value.
- Comment on Not Enough Hate 5 days ago:
Cis women who are not “traditionally feminine” are often the ones who are on the other side of the “looks trans” comments, meaning once again a veiled attempt at “protecting” women (TERFs) victimizes them.

Saying that someone “looks trans” is big oof.

Wow that’s satisfying as hell.

Assassin’s Creed was so much better when they were still doing a present day plot. Getting out of the animus and playing as Desmond and unraveling the mystery of the present day was like half the appeal to me.

The Ubisoft launcher is a real pain to get working on Linux, at least for me it has been. There’s no official support so it’s all through WINE and such but it can be hit or miss in my expedience.

That’s a shame. If you liked the first two or just want a really awesome SciFi rpg, you should give it a go. The reaction to the ending was really overblown imho. And it wasn’t retconned per se, it was expanded and more options were added.
I beat the game before any changes were made to the ending and I didn’t feel nearly at visceral as some people did. The changes they made also helped fill in any real qualms I had. Not to mention, even if it’s as bad as they say, the ending is like 1% of a trilogy spanning SciFi epic. It’s an incredible rpg series, one of the best ever.

Out of all the hate I’ve read about TLOU2, I’ve never seen anyone say the timeline is confusing. I also can’t see the tonal whiplash, personally. Both games are incredibly dark.
- Comment on More People Are Pre-ordering The $100 Edition Of GTA 6 1 week ago:
I’ve played every GTA since 3. Easily hundreds of hours collectively.
For a fair while, nobody was doing what they were doing really. They were extremely unique games. The freedom of the open world, the modern setting, the criminal drama, the high production values (of their respective release eras), the scathing satire. All of it combined was exceptional.
For my own personal tastes, I have largely out grown their style of expositional story telling and mission structures, but I still think everything I listed above applies and at that no one else is really doing what they are doing. In terms of a free roam modern, immersive setting, there really is no competitor in my opinion.
Having said all of that, know that I do not intend on buying GTA 6. Not because I’m not excited for it, because I frankly kind of am for all the same reasons, but rather for reasons that more have to do with the company, management, and my shifting priorities and set of values in my own life.
- Comment on More People Are Pre-ordering The $100 Edition Of GTA 6 1 week ago:
There’s been no confirmation of that, that I’m aware of. Only that it will not be part of the game at launch. This is no different than GTA5, which did not get its online features until about month after release.

They are implying that in three years, if they have their way, you’ll have no choice. You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.

Not tower defense, but I’ve been a long time fan of a super simple game caked Landrule. It’s literally just Risk, but it’s super simplified graphics means it can run on a potato, and the visual information is super easy to digest. It has a ton of speed options so when your comfortable with it, you can crank it up and play an entire game against 5 computer opponents or more in 5 minutes. And, best of all, a tooooon of maps so you can mix it up and keep it fresh.

Mate, I’m a PC gamer as well, so you’re preaching to the choir. I just don’t really get how Sony saying they are stopping physical game production because gamers don’t need it, then responding to that by… getting rid of your physical games makes no sense to me.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I mean, doesn’t this kind of probe Sony’s point though?
I personally won’t be cutting off my nose to spite my face. You can take my disc edition console and the physical games I have from my cold dead hands.

Retch is still a word in modern English usage, but yes this is absolutely just an error and it’s meant to be “wretched”.
- Comment on Every YouTube video PlayStation posts has hundreds of comments about physical discs 2 weeks ago:
They are very closely linked, though. You are not incorrect, but the vast majority of games shipped on disc can be played without servers, etc. Once they take those physical discs away, the only way to get them will be digital distribution, which is way more prone to being shut down than every disc in existence being destroyed.
