I thought BioShock Infinite felt like something new compared to the first two.

It is public, youre right. That’s why anyone can post to it. The rule is if you admit to not being a woman, you get banned.

There’s more people on the internet than ever but they are mostly all on one central part of it being manipulated by ads and algorithms designed to drain them of money and data.

- Comment on What are the best free mmorpgs for a beginner? 3 weeks ago:
They recently released an installer for Linux. It’s an ISO which I did not have much luck running on Linux Mint. Before that was released, they released TurtleWoW as a portable zip file. They still update the game with that release. I use Proton on Steam to run it on Mint with no issues.
No legal issues for players to worry about. My understanding is that since it is a version of WoW that doesn’t exist anywhere else at this point, it’s ok to run severs for it as long as money isn’t being charged for it. TurtleWoW devs do accept “donations” which will reward players with in game cosmetics, but as far as I know, no pay to win items. Unless you count a pet that acts as a portable bank. Using it let’s you interact with your bank that can otherwise only be accessed from various cities in game. I don’t have that pet myself, but I have been able to use other players’ when I come across them in the world.

I’ve enjoyed OSRS on and off since about 2004, but if you’re wanting to avoid walking simulators, it is the worst offender. A big part of the game is calculating the best possible path to follow. You are making trips to the bank in between every activity and multiple times per quest. Many skills exist just to ease to burden of traveling around the world.
My personal favorite MMO is vanilla WoW. I’m obviously biased but it is just what I had the most fun with back when it came out and I think it still holds up incredibly well today. I play on a private server called TurtleWoW and it is 100% free. They have continuously added their own expansions over time and are currently working on a client that runs the game in Unreal Engine if you desire more modern graphics.
If it seems to old school, Guild Wars 2 is a really good choice as well. I played through the base game and first expansion of FF14 and ultimately wasn’t impressed. It’s great if you like to role play with other players, but everyone is so focused on playing the meta that it took all of the fun out of the game for me. People would kick me out of groups for trying to play with my own personalized set up.

Lol great clip. I totally get what’s he’s saying. We don’t necessarily need to ask him for his views, but he has 100% offered them himself.
- Comment on Bill Burr Says Stop Blaming Immigrants, Blame Billionaires | SubwayTakes Uncut [13:16] 4 weeks ago:
I don’t really understand this sentiment. No one is asking him to run for office. He’s an American citizen and he has a huge platform to speak on. Of course his political views have merit. You don’t have to be a political science major to talk politics. This comment section is proof of that. Obviously he is only one person and no one should be informing theirselves soley in what he has to say, but like anyone else his words aren’t meaningless.

They list nearly the last 80 episodes to be filler. I haven’t watched past the first two arcs in Naruto but do those last 80 episodes not contribute to any story or arc at all?

Thank goodness you called video games out as being a luxury so everyone doesn’t notice you have no real argument for why it’s OK for DRM to exist. You almost looked really silly.

I went to Universal around last Christmas and they had an awesome drone show. I had never seen anything like it and didn’t even know it was a thing. 100% better than a fireworks display.
- Comment on Uber Eats or something idk 1 month ago:
That’s strange. Where I live, Doordash and all the other delivery services list higher menu prices than what you’ll see at whichever restaurant you go to. If a menu item is normally $15, Doordash will list it as $18. This is before they even add the service fees.

I have to imagine once it ages a bit more they’ll bring the regular price down. But as many fans say, it’s really a fair price for what the game is.

- Comment on Might be time to find another job 1 month ago:
My job has the opposite problem. We have four refrigerators full of food that no one wants to eat. People bring in homemade meals in glass containers that end up rotting and growing mold. Every so often someone gets the courage to clean all the refrigerators out, but it doesn’t take long before they turn back into giant trash cans again.

There are a lot of other reasons to pirate content besides disagreeing with pricing. I get that the price point of this game is the subject here but I doubt 99% of pirates are at a disagreement over pricing.

It seems like every other poster here confusing your use of the word “production” and simply stating that “product” is an acceptable word to use lol

- Comment on What's a TV series you've tried repeatedly to get into, but can't? 2 months ago:
No The Sopranos doesn’t make the audience root for the mobsters. It’s a show that follows horrible people doing horrible things. There is great writing and very realistic dialog, but that has never tricked me into rooting for Tony or anyone else. Especially if you make it to the last season, I was personally rooting for Tony to get killed.
- Comment on What's a TV series you've tried repeatedly to get into, but can't? 2 months ago:
To me, The Sopranos has some of the most believable characters of any show I’ve ever seen. They’re all just so fucking stupid. But not in a bad writing kind of way. They’re as stupid as the average person and maybe a little more so. The show is full of miscommunication and unreliable gossip going around dozens of characters. It’s not witty dialog, it just feels real.
