I’ve been thinking recently about how the game would feel if you spend the first half of the game as Abby
Ooh. That’s a pretty clean fix for my bigger gripes about the game. Still don’t love the forced participation in the torture porn at the end, but that would def be better.

Re: the ending and Part II - It pissed me of in particular because I specifically went for a leg shot in that scene, and then Joel just goes on a rampage. And then it turns into a big revenge plot in the sequel for the very thing I didn’t want to do. It was all very frustrating.

There are certainly some, but that bit was more about certain creatins on this planet treating any woman nearing 30 as detestable.

Developing from a pretty, young, “vulnerable” girl that needs saving (even though she’s already tough as hell in TW3) into an older (chud translation: “ugly”) main protagonist fighting back against the patriarchy has these fools spitting with outrage. Here’s hoping CDPR doesn’t give them an inch.

Unnecessarily long
Lol. “How dare you give me a comprehensive explanation of specifically what I asked about! Rude!” What is rude is being so shitty to someone that went out of their way to try and help you understand something, acting like it was a personal insult. How selfish and demanding of you.

So lying about looking into it. Got it.
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 4 days ago:
And yet you say it’s cause of “gambling”. So you’re either lying about looking into it or lying about what you saw.
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 4 days ago:
It’s literally not.
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 4 days ago:
Maybe look into the game being discussed even a little before commenting on it.
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 4 days ago:
It’s as much related to gambling as Balatro is.
- Comment on The Witcher IV — Cinematic Reveal Trailer | The Game Awards 2024 1 week ago:
As I remember, the liquification was more so part of the curse than the trials. The immense pain and risk of death is true either way, though.
And I don’t see any conflict with Ciri here. That would be her continuing to fight to make her own life, no? The destiny she’s running from isn’t about her being a witcher. More so the opposite, as I understand it.
- Comment on The Witcher IV — Cinematic Reveal Trailer | The Game Awards 2024 1 week ago:
Regarding the potions, I haven’t read the books, but the wiki alludes to “Children of Destiny” not needing the trials, of which Ciri is part of. Even if that’s not it, I don’t think a grown woman choosing to undergo the trials is comparable to forcing it on a child. Pretty badass, tbh.

A lot more butt stuff in the trailer than I expected.
- Comment on If a hostile country has installed a puppet leader to dismantle your government from the inside and the only thing that would expidite its destruction is a violent revolution how do you combat this? 1 week ago:
Again - not an option for the majority of people. Not only does that require significant amounts of money, it also assumes the place you’re going is accessible (eg open borders, etc) You’re advocating from a position of privilege and/or ignorance of you think “just leave” is a reasonable suggestion.

So are you advocating for action or “not playing” (ie rolling over)? Make up your mind.
- Comment on If a hostile country has installed a puppet leader to dismantle your government from the inside and the only thing that would expidite its destruction is a violent revolution how do you combat this? 1 week ago:
You say that as if it’s an option for everyone in said country.

Interesting. Thanks!

Providing an actually useful summary instead of more click bait would be preferred.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
I believe that’s called “Pay to Win” in gamer culture.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
Yes, we should reward decisions we dislike. That’ll show 'em.
- Comment on Makes more sense than the Imperial system 2 weeks ago:
So when you’re kind of enthused about something but not, like, really psyched, you can say, “That sounds like a skeli-ton of fun.”
- Comment on I wonder why people litter in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
Well, they’re blaming “lazy workers” instead of the litterers, so yeah, I’m inclined to believe the worst about them, too.
- Comment on Did 70% of Wisconsin voters just delete their own constitutional guarantee to be eligible to vote? 1 month ago:
Ah, ok. I see that now. That sucks.
- Comment on Did 70% of Wisconsin voters just delete their own constitutional guarantee to be eligible to vote? 1 month ago:
Doesn’t this change the meaning of the statement so much that it’s no longer true that every citizen of age who is a resident is eligible to vote?
I don’t see how it would, but maybe I’m not seeing what you’re seeing. The eligibility of the people in the article did not change. “Only” vs “Every” still includes the same group of people.
What did change was the explicit exclusion of people outside of those qualifiers. This could potentially make challenging votes of “questionable” voters that much more impactful or difficult to defend against, and maybe make adjusting the existing qualifiers harder (the only one I can really think of is age), but that depends on WI’s amendment process, which I don’t know.
- Comment on what should one archive in a fascist regime? 1 month ago:
Depends on who’s in charge. 50%+ of the internet seems to be hosted by amazon and musk rules his little fiefdom. The call to be proactive isn’t unreasonable.

It’s not so much “built in” asit is just included by dev/pub request. Lots of games don’t: pcgamingwiki.com/…/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games…
- Comment on This is the most annoying thing I've ever seen 1 month ago:
This shit is why I resist proprietary apps like this as much as I can. Removing functionality from the website and hiding it behind an app is so shitty and I’m not playing along just so they can sell of the info they get from it.
- Comment on I'm going to try not to swear when you're around. Is this a good apology to a coworker? 1 month ago:
Not everything is about what we’re “required” to do. If op wants to apologize, why try and talk them out of it?
