I don’t even. Every individual part of RDR2 is pretty good. It looks good, sounds good, the writing really deserves recognition for managing to keep a 100 hour plot interesting and at no point was it ever clear to me why this needed to be an interactive medium because the gameplay and all the other bits don’t really interface. Inside missions you can’t leave the very narrow developer intended path at all, your choices boil down to “what gun do I shoot this guy with”. Outside of missions you’re free to do “whatever” except whatever is also just mostly shooting guys or animals - none of which you have to do or affect anything.

The exploration is and stumbling upon odd sidequests initially is like the only part where it makes sense to be a game, because you couldn’t recreate that in another medium and some even ask of you, the player, to use your noggin to solve shit. All the rest of it though, you could basically get the same experience by watching The Sopranos and after every episode you finish a level of Quake.

Which on it’s own would be fine, a piece of art can just be a good time for a (long) while and that’s good but RDR2 ranks among there as the most expensive videogame, especially if you exclude obvious scams like Star Citizen and live service games like WoW that have just been getting content forever and everybody involved in the production was reportedly forced into insane crunch times to make the horse balls react to temperature. And for what?

RDR2 belongs in a museum because it’s so much less than its parts

Just being in HR gives you some kind of brainworm but being in HR and posting about it with what seems to be a personal account is more like having a brain shai-hulud

All you’d get with starting with an earlier Arma than 3 is losing quality of life features and gaining eurojank

am I getting old? I got like 5 devices around that can take photos that are not a phone on account of before phones used to be able to do that you had devices for it

Honestly good litmus test, if you got a Thinkpad that means somebody seems to listen to IT on what to buy which does bode sort of well for a tech job

That’s not limited to 9X Windows, up until W10 that’s still around because Microsofts big selling point is their shit works backwards for nigh-eternity

bested by my nemesis, markup, again, thanks & fixed

Broke: We can offer you our truffle fucked nothingburger with garlic ass for $20 dollars with every single fry costing a dollar extra
Bespoke: falafel shawarma $3, yoghurt or hummus, boss?

at the point where your cutlery becomes necessary to eat your burger unless you pig-trough it you have failed at making a burger

If you’re talking to libs obviously the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea is any and all of those, why would they be named such otherwise

love to have people in management who cannot for the life of them manage their own workload or inbox. I don’t even know when I last got a response from my manager for anything, I just send it to the void at this point as shit falls apart

The nestlé boycott has always struck me as mostly hollow. I mean sure, it’s not a bad thing to do, but it seems for the majority of people it starts and ends there. Like yup, that’s the one bad company

Oh buddy then we’re historically remembered. Like, that’s a lotta porn.

That ain’t special

I spent my drunk youth listening to these people and my conclusion is they basically all got fucked, metaphorically or literally, by something, honestly. People don’t just turn self-destructive by themselves

gross

I had sort of the same thing happening with a glob of rice noodles and I was quite surprised that I was quite occupied with how dumb of a death that would be instead of anything remotely helpful

I am judging the fuck out of nazis though and I will not stop

Maybe if the WTC was wearing high vis the pilots would’ve been able to see it
