Yep, that’s a shit post.
- Comment on Rumors Of End to Xbox-Only Exclusives Swirl As More Game Studios Embrace Simultaneous Launch Strategy 4 days ago:
I believe for the first Outer Worlds it was multiplatform because it was published by Private Division (owned by 2K at the time), not Microsoft. Obsidian wasn’t owned by Microsoft yet when the game was being developed. Of course, it just makes businesses sense to release the sequel on PS5 too for more money from sales.
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 5 days ago:
You can still get short games, you just won’t find them from AAA developers anymore because publishers want big games with bigger profits. Titanfall 2 was a great campaign even if short, but Halo 5 was the last short game we had and people threw a shit storm (rightly, it wasn’t near the quality of TF2 and had other issues).
If you want short games, the indie space has you covered. Always small games out there releasing.
And game devs have certainly not become inefficient, it’s just the standards of quality are higher. People still want more complex, better looking games. And I don’t mean just graphics; unique art styles are all the rage. Games like Balatro and Cruelty Squad prove graphics aren’t everything as long as you keep a cohesive style and have good gameplay to back it up.
Personally though I avoid small games. I’ve had my fill of them growing up, I’d rather play big games with open worlds and all that jazz. I want to be invested in these worlds not play and forget.

Yeah, games take time to make. It’s good that they have more content now. Do you not remember how short campaigns used to be?
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 6 days ago:
I was trying to think of one since I feel the opposite most of the time. This one did surprise me with the length. You think the end is approaching, but some more bullshit is ejected at Niko every time. The main quests takes a lot of detours (in a good way). There isn’t just one villain and you help/fight tons of different factions across the islands.

Thanks for making this timeline because whenever news is brought up about the troubles behind this series I’m so confused on how they’ve structured their releases.
- Comment on What are your favourite trailers? 1 week ago:
No Man’s Sky trailers for updates are pretty good. Always watch them even if I don’t play it much. All gameplay, great transitions, great background music.
- Comment on If you speak a second language better than your native language, would you describe your second language skill as "native" or "fluent"? 2 weeks ago:
I just say my Spanish fluent. I can have a conservation, but it will have a lot of pauses as I try to remember a word. Certainly not usable at an academic level.
I was graced by parents who don’t know their own language very well. Google Translate’s more reliable, so there is a lot of vocabulary I don’t know simply because it’s never been brought up in my family.
I just consider English my main language. I feel bad for the immigrants who were raised not even knowing their language though. Met a few.
- Comment on What is your favorite vehicle in GTA:SA? 3 weeks ago:
Did it have that fiery exhaust in the middle of the trunk area or was that just in V? Only reason it remains in my brain drive, bitchin’.
- Comment on What is your favorite vehicle in GTA:SA? 3 weeks ago:
Probably the Jester.
I had to go back and look through the wiki because I could not remember a car design I’d call my favorite. I love boxy 90s cars but something was just not right with what they put in SA. Apart from the Jester, only the motorcycles looked nice and Blista looked nice (though it peaked with IV).

About to be the first Lemmy comment I save. These points are so solid and never would have thought about.

Those old fashion logos are actually sick. Concerning that an industry that sells style would make these their logos.

That’s so adorable!
- Comment on Why can't it just land double heads all the time 5 weeks ago:
Oh. I haven’t tried that yet. I thought it some official Pokemon coin.
- Comment on Why can't it just land double heads all the time 5 weeks ago:
I was so confused until I realized this was about flipping coins. When I played we just used a quarter.

- Comment on "Florida is a conservative Christian state" 5 weeks ago:
I’ve thought about it but while it is more free, the city layout looks worse. At least the public transportation is serviceable here.

I’m just trying to finish my degree to leave. It’s a shame Miami is so unique because I can’t find any place with such diversity. Only comparable alternative I could find in the US was NYC.

Pretty neat that exists for people who want to study something niche.

“Friends of Goodwill, be dissatisfied with your work until every handicapped and unfortunate person in your community has an opportunity to develop to his fullest usefulness and enjoy a maximum of abundant living”
Very powerful statement, but I somehow doubt they’d be so committed to the spirit of it. Like someone else said, companies are allowed to underpay disabled employees.
- Comment on Deadlocked is one of the funnest games I've played in a while 2 months ago:
Ok and? I never said they wouldn’t. The game is clearly early access hence the lack of monetization.
- Comment on Deadlocked is one of the funnest games I've played in a while 2 months ago:
It doesn’t have skins or ranks. Nothing to hook the addicts into the LiVe SeRvIcE. Just pure fun for the sake of it.

- Comment on Threw a wrestling watch party, made special food, and was very disappointed in the outcome. 2 months ago:
Shit that looks delicious but maybe they just weren’t hungry (could have eaten before). And I don’t mean to disrespect you but you did not have to do this much for watching a wrestling game. Though it does suck 2 people flaked.

Oh good point, never been to the delis myself. I didn’t realize they had a mini food court, thought it was just a place to buy meats or their sandwiches.

- Comment on A Prominent Accessibility Advocate Worked With Studios and Inspired Change. But She Never Actually Existed. 3 months ago:
Wild fucking read. Was thinking maybe his first girlfriend was using a pseudonym (Turkish-born named Susan Banks?), but conveniently no one has met all 3 of his activist girlfriends. The last bit about the guy deleting all his social media posts AND his last “girlfriend” doing the same after IGN reached out is glaringly suspicious.
