JD Vance? Is that you?
I’m pretty sure lots of people can’t stop thinking about P25…
Fuckin sick! Sign me up! If only I had friends…
Yeesh…that might come back to bite you…
It’s already topped out fam…maybe it’s the shotgun I’m using…hmm…
I just played through the bulk of it, and it was quite good at first, but it started feeling very samey pretty quick. And now I’m so OP that all the gigs and missions I’m doing now are a dull cake walk. Just wading through dismembered viscera. I can’t even remember the last time I had to pop a heal…
But admittedly, I can understand that you don’t want to create something where you are pretty sure enough media illiterate idiots will not get that the fascists are NOT supposed to be the good guys.
Just look at Helldiver 1/2, couldn’t be more in your face about it, and yet there’s still people not getting it.
Hollis-Leick and narrative director Craig Sherman pushed back on some of the “do’s and don’ts” they received from Games Workshop about Space Marine vocabulary. They deviated from the suggested phraseology to make Titus and his comrades sound less “strange and antiquated”, less like the Spanish Inquisition, and more like soldiers from real-world present-day militaries. “Space Marines don’t necessarily say things like ‘dismissed’,” Hollis-Leick observed. “There’s a line in the game where Acheran says ‘company dismissed’ and they really wanted me to change that to ‘brothers, attend your duties’, or something. But it’s three words instead of one, and if that model was applied to all of the language in the game, I really strongly felt that people wouldn’t get it.”
Gonna be a whole lotta really peeved 40k ultra fans…
Ah yes, the OG rage quit. Love to see it.
Exactly! There’s no reason to be that way, other than to feel superior to someone. And that’s just kinda a shit way to be!
I had an argument shortly after the great migration. Someone had posted a video essay on something gaming related and the person I responded to was adamant that a video couldn’t be an essay. It was a two hour deep dive into the topic, with graphs/journalistic photos/news video snippets, and the video info section had a citation list longer than your arm.
This person couldn’t understand that just because the creator had decided to present their essay in video format, didn’t mean it wasn’t an essay. All they had to say basically boiled down to:
only stupid people watch a video this long when you could read the equivalent amount of information in less than half the time.
Needless to say, that got my hackles up a tad.
She’s so fortunate, she hits the dismiss button and automatically right back to full on sleep. Takes her under 5 minutes to get to sleep once the light’s out. Me? Weirdly the only place I can fall asleep in less than 45 minutes is on a plane…
This is why I still have my alarm set for 4.30am, my wife’s got 9 alarms evenly spaced over 45mins. They start at half past 7, luckily I’m well gone and already at work by that time. If I have a day off and she doesn’t…I sleep in the living room.
Fair enough, it’s important to know what your potential speed bumps are.
Glad to hear that things are going good for you. On the whole, life’s pretty good for me too.
The slippery slope is when a game addiction turns into a gambling addiction.
Glad to hear your dad’s clean. Hope everything is good for you ❤️
Hey, could’ve been worse. At least she was addicted to Tetris, not a raging alcoholic or addicted to meth or something.
See…was the other way round for me. My mum had a crippling Tetris addiction when I was 7. So much so that I’d get home from school and every battery in the house would be dead. That year for Christmas all I asked for was batteries.
To be clear, it was my Gameboy and my copy of Tetris…
Don’t forget, 13 years on and multiple (re-)releases on various platforms, and there’s still bugs that are only fixed by mods.
