It’s bizarre too because every other voice was excellent, as is the usual case for R*.

I actually agree with you. I was browsing the comments and during the first few minutes I was thinking “ah, they’re exaggerating”, but it really did get worse and worse. Really puts me off as well.

Agreed, and also about the DLC rankings. Blood and Wine is alright but it’s wildly overrated. It’s a nice post-game vacation and it has some fun stuff in it, but it’s ideal to play like a year after finishing base game + HoS, in my opinion.
Hearts of Stone is the best Witcher content CDPR has produced yet.

I personally always find it weird that killing hundreds of people is okay but nudity requires scrutiny.
Just Christian moral panic and puritanism, which has fucked us up mentally and psychologically for centuries now.

Alan Wake 2 is a masterpiece. I’m glad you’re finally getting to it!

The post does definitely sound and smell very AI-ey.

Absolutely this. I wish I could say I thought higher of Bethesda than employing copyright trolls, but unfortunately I guess I’m not surprised.

I could literally not live without them anymore. It’s great even for browsing/desktop use with some extra common actions, and pretty much every single game plays smoother with a few thumb-bound hotkeys.

Not just Day 1 patches but continued post-launch support too. And DLCs. Back in the times before the internet a game would release and that was it. The disc was the whole game and all it would ever be. We’re not there anymore.
Also, discs degrade really fast anyway, it’s not an amazing long term storage medium. I’d rather the GOG model of offline DRM free installers you can store on your own, in terms of game preservation, than forcing production of discs.

No, not in a long time. I just find it’s very nice to have, you can do actions without lifting your fingers off WASD. Or use the PC one handed in some cases and have a coffee.

I also switched to Logitech, to a G604 though. Six thumb buttons is perfect for me.

Same, although more than just the scroll wheel broke. And I think I was on three in a row breaking within a year before I gave up. It’s a shame because feature-wise I like some of their stuff, but it’s just impossible to buy products with this level of QC.

Sid Meier’s Pirates! was remade twice - once in '93 and once in '04. Probably the first title that springs to mind for me. I have unfortunately only played the 2004 version, although I know the older ones are considered all time classics. Maybe one day.

I already own it, still haven’t finished it though. If you love parrying and Soulslike Metroidvanias and don’t hate backtracking and platforming this is for you. Really cool graphics and art direction, too. World building is interesting. It’s a good game. Maybe one day I’ll finish it.

Yeah, I don’t like that one bit tbh.

Getting upset because of the transitive property from a single mod’s user handle on anarchist.nexus is not db0 “systematically sending death threats”, though. Extraordinary accusations require extraordinary evidence.

I didn’t know about the silent bans/modlog circumvention in Piefed. That’s like, really really bad.

Yeah that sounds like moving alright, hah. Hope things settle down and quieten for you soon.

Perchance was indeed filtered out, as was “goofed” and “🥺👉👈”.

I would hardly call you a deranged lunatic. In fact, I would probably call you “feminist sex history expert”, because that’s what I’ve tagged you as hahaha (possibly unnecessary clarification: it’s a compliment).
As for the Tesseract mess, while I do of course agree that doxxing, death threats and hounding in the DMs is bad and should never happen to anyone, I feel like at this point I can’t take these accusations from him at face value. He has already argued in bad faith before and come up short on receipts.
And yeah I agree that the biggest tragedy is that there is a place for a curated experience like what he was trying to create. It was just gone about in such a bad faith way, maliciously implemented and had a block list made by someone with deranged and probably outright homo- and transphobic views on what’s acceptable.
And also, hijacking other people’s PC’s to DDOS db0 on the way out is like, an actual crime in quite a few places.

I thought it was a little quiet around here lately! I hope the move is going well!

Like the other commenter said: while being emphatic as a default mindset is generally good, there comes a point where you need to look at the body of evidence.
Yes, nobody should be getting death threats. But - much like the supposed “toxicity” of some subs he blocked such as the apparently horrible WholesomeYuri - there comes a point where he is required to show some receipts. Because several of his accusers do have them.
Also: purposefully DDOSing a server as some kind of petty revenge is just disgraceful.
It’s not disgraceful. It’s criminal, at least in a substantial amount of places. It’s not a petty lashing out, he did a crime here. Let’s call it what it is.
- Comment on Why does Australia tend to ban or censor video games? 5 weeks ago:
You’re definitely right, although I grew up in Sweden and not Australia. But the same general cultural and societal trends applied. Growing up in the 90s/early 00s video games were still absolutely stigmatised and associated with nerds and social pariahs. It’s not that there weren’t games or gamers, but they were not really socially acceptable outside of the nerd subcultures and subgroups.
It wasn’t anything at all like how it is today, where everyone and their aunt is playing games and every kid from every social strata is playing some kind of video game.
