Why is this even downvoted.

Give them Titanfall 2 if you want them to play a good shooter. Sure, they might come out of the campaign with depression, but certainly not with heads filled with propaganda!

I feel like that’s more on the parents for not informing their child about the MIC and how they basically sign themselves away to be government property.

Yeah I was surprised someone actually lived there. I thought it was just some random abandoned house the guy left the robot in so we could explore but we catched a glimpse of him behind a door watching TV.

Nicer than me. I’d stay away from this rat nest.

Funniest shit ever. Someone was just driving it into walls in a hallway that looked abandoned. I took control when it went idle and maneuvered to what looked to be a bathroom. Someone else turned it around and spotted a mirror at floor level.

I’d be saying the same if OP’s son was his daughter. I’d never have guessed them.

Wow is this me? Same situation, but conflicted because even though I find him an awful person he’s always provided for my family and continues to let me live rent free. We probably interact once a week.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
This is always an option. You don’t have to force it. As a personal example, I love pretty much everyone in my family but I don’t share any of their interests. Just talk with your son and be supportive like how the poster says. Who knows, might find some common interest eventually.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I can see why you made this post. What a peculiar set of interests. Could probably find some crafts to do with him.

- Comment on Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package? 2 weeks ago:
Gift him a Starsector code or share your own if already have one.
Gift any super moddable games he likes. If he enjoys Bethesda games on consoles, he will definitely love PC only mods. Also explain to him what Big Picture Mode on Steam is. I wish I knew it existed when I started. Get the same console experience and seamless controller integration even if the game doesn’t officially support it.

Yep, that’s a shit post.
- Comment on Rumors Of End to Xbox-Only Exclusives Swirl As More Game Studios Embrace Simultaneous Launch Strategy 5 weeks 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 weeks 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.
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 5 weeks ago:
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? 5 weeks 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 month 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"? 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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).

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

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 2 months ago:
I was so confused until I realized this was about flipping coins. When I played we just used a quarter.
