Not really the same type of game at all. Elite is a fun simulation but there’s essentially no story.

In the same way, I’m sure the space combat will be fun in Starfield, with essentially no depth.

All of the most positive reviews I’ve read have been at 80+ hours. Still finding new things to do, which is a good sign.

Docking point for subjective things is weird to me as well. “I wanted a minimap!”

This reviewer also went right into NG+ after finishing the main story. I guess play how you want, but that feels deeply wrong to me.

I mean it’d be as realistic as the rest of the AITA posts, I’m on board

Unfortunate but this is the truth. Too many of us have been accustomed to small luxuries like “affording takeout”, but we unfortunately have been priced out of being able to afford stuff like this.

It’s a tough pill to swallow if you’ve been doing it your whole life and think that a functioning adult with a full-time job should be able to afford some takeout every now and again. We are not the generation that gets to enjoy that privilege, it seems.

That’s the thing though, it’s not Netflix vs cable anymore. It’s Netflix + Disney + Prime + whatever other streaming services have the shit you actually want to watch. And when you add it up, it’s just like cable packages. The only advantage is it’s all on demand.

Yeah, this kinda shit is fucking hilarious but people don’t realize it. There’s this corporate training BS called Kaizen where they take a lot of normal Japanese words like 無理 (muri) and associate weird Eastern mystic significance to them.

Literally just means “impossible” and is frequently used in slang to be like “no no no I couldn’t possibly [talk to that hot guy]”. Having it put up on a slide and presented by some white dudes in suits who were nodding solely and talking about the secret Japanese knowledge was just too much to bear.

I mean, from a game improvement standpoint you’d want them to have analytics. Seeing how other people use your game doesn’t seem the most unreasonable thing ever to me.

I was once subscribed to four! I am now subscribed to one as the others kept fucking with me with these price raises and password sharing crackdowns.

I think more people just need to draw a line in the sand. These companies’ strategies are akin to slowly inching up the temperature of the water until you’re sitting in boiling water without realizing it.

It’s unfortunate that the average consumer seems to be about as aware as the lobster.

Lol this is such a weird sentiment to me. You realize many of us do walk everywhere, right?

Genuine question, does anybody ever hunt with pistols?

Long guns are one thing, handguns are pretty explicitly anti-personnel weapons from my understanding.

MCRLWAIN hurts my brain to pronounce

I just feel bad that she had to have a kid with the guy to find this out

Unfortunately, being gay isn’t a panacea, and one can be both gay and a huge piece of shit.

This feels like a copypasta

It’s funny that you say that. Although it’s not I guess replacing Reddit in terms of scale, the browsing experience on Lemmy and that community feeling is actually an improvement for me.

So, I guess for me Lemmy is a more than adequate replacement. I don’t want all of Reddit here though, I think that would cause a whole lot more problems than it would solve.

Because third party apps are literally the point that drove a lot of people to Lemmy in the first place. It’s classic selection bias.

If you like roleplaying games, absolutely yes. It’s way move involved than their previous games (which were also great). Divinity always felt AA at best, but the polish on BG3 is impeccable.

For me what really does it is the professional voice work and motion capture on seemingly every single sentiet humanoid character in the game. Even random folks who have a single line of dialogue have a unique voice and an interesting character design. They don’t all blend together, even when they are objectively filler characters.

So, probably not the intended message, but clearly the beheadings got us nowhere.
