Buddy get over yourself

Buddy. Look at your behavior in the thread. You have multiple posts getting super offended and pissy over a news article about large gains in linux over windows for that hand held device.

Only one that needs to get over themselves is you.

only one proselytizing anything here is you, bud.

and you seem to be proselytizing for windows with how insistent you are to try to handwave and rugsweep the increases in performance and usability

I would just automatically assume theres something nefarious.

Reputable game devs don't end up in these situations to begin with, and I'd rather miss on a shitty clone game than end up running a password harvester.

I am now, and will forever remain, a child of the old internet.

When your username was all that other people knew about you, and you didnt even like them having that for anonymity reasons, lol.

I continue to be baffled about how people on the internet went from "Don't tell anyone, anything about you!" to "Hi My name is Dan Rutherford, I like at 5849 Blasse Rd, in Tarry Birch,Kenfucky. Heres a picture of myself, my wife, my children, and a list of everything expensive I have in the house. Also my childs bedroom window wont lock. Anyway, we're going on a 3 week european vacation now! Expect hourly updates!

PS: Heres my birthday, and my childhood elementary school, where I was born, and the name of my childhood dog. In case anyone needs to answer my security questions"

Valve has said on at least a couple occasions they don't really have interest in making games anymore, unless there is some new technology they get interested in that they can make a game around.

The HL2 episodes were basically tests for different source engine technologies.

Alyx was basically then playing around with VR.

So yeah, I can totally see some weird fucked up thing like a brainchip being what HL3 is built around, if HL3 ever stops being anything more than a syphilitic hallucination of a desperate mind.

kinda brave of you to believe in valve even if they produced a trailer.

Advocate mass sterilizing republicans? Thats a bold move cotton, lets see how it plays out.

"We, a company that has allowed AI generated propaganda to run rampant and destabilize global politics, need to make sure you are a real person so you must provide us with a video proving you are real that we totally wont use for AI and facial recognition purposes."

there is a near endless supply of brother laser printers at thrift stores for under 15 bucks. and they come with toner carts still in them.

the last one I got from goodwill is still going strong on the toner that came with it, and its been years.

and if the toner ever does wear out, hell, I could buy 3 more printers for what the toner would cost.

also bonus that brother printers work super good in linux, least headache i've ever had installing a printer.

"this time of year" is 100% christmas.

from people putting up lights, probably trying to run remote power to a box with an extension cord, or because they installed half their lights backward and need this to bridge between the two sets because they rather embrace the danger than redo all the work.

I don't care about regular everyday insanity.

as long as hes not, like, running a weird cannibal sex cult like jared leto or supporting conservatism/hatred/etc, I can at least listen to the old albums without feeling guilty.

Oh good. Its just about Corgan being a fucking loony toon weirdo.

I thought it was going to be something proper horrific like child sex trafficking, cannibalism, or republicanism.

I'm surprised you could type out the name without vomiting uncontrollably.

Oh dear god.. I am terrified to ask this..but what happened with Smashing Pumpkins?

Cops will absolutely side with Trump over billionaires.

Trumps giving cops everything they want.. which is a country where they can do whatever the fuck they want, without repercussion. They'll fight and die for him against anyone and anything else.

pretty much every cop is a right wing fashy thug, too.

Have to be.

anyone else would be too educated, too moral, and to much a threat against the institutional corruption.

Respectfully, I have to disagree with some of what you said.. I don't mind end game being a challenge, or even difficult.

Because the end game has always been in instances and raids. I don't mind raids being challenging. I dont mind 3/6mans being challenging. Cause they are content you can typically choose to do or not, you need a group to do them, and they have the tier system that lets you select how difficult you actually want it.

Thats a good, healthy system to introducing challenge to the system.

And that meshed very well with the otherwise relaxed/chill nature of lotro. Because before mordor, Turbine/SSG/Whatever they are now, did a fairly admirable job at balancing and spacing out the challenging aspects amongst the fun and relaxing stuff to keep playability and fun high, while keeping a sense of satisfaction by overcoming the challenging bits.

Landscape wasnt a cake walk, unless you were ridiculously overeveled, but it wasn't a torture session either. Any class could get through their landscape quests with an acceptable amount of challenge.

But then Mordor came in, and you couldn't solo landscape unless you were one of the chosen classes, with Hunter being the king of them, because their DPS was insane, and they were range, so they could power down anything without taking damage. A poorly equipped hunter was solo survivable, when a very well equipped not-hunter could barely survive, if survive at all.

Mordor landscape wasn't fun, it wasn't a challenge. it was just naked brutality for brutality sake. They listened to a vocal minority that hadn't played the game for long, comparatively, and wanted to turn lotro into a souls-like difficulty game, at the expense of all the people who had made lotro their evening stable for a decade+. and they lost players because of it. It really changed lotro from a fun way to spend an evening, to a way to ruin your evening because you just want to do these handful of landscape quests without having to deal with generic orc 37 that's as strong as a 3/6 man miniboss (slight hyperbole).

I dont know if they've re-balanced the areas since then, or introduced mechanics to take the edge off, or what. I hope they did. I hope they've brought the fun and play-ability back so new players don't hit the same wall that destroyed a generation of players, but no matter what changes they may or may not have made.. ultimately, I just cant see myself ever mustering desire to play lotro again.. and that saddens me as much as the state of the game that made me quit to begin with.

I don't want to even think of how many thousands of hours i poured into lotro over a decade of almost nightly play. Thats too terrifying a number to ever think about, lol.

Can he no longer enjoy life cause he logged into chaturbate.

Or did he never enjoy life, because his moms a miserable kind of cunt that announces to the world her sweet baby boy looked at THE PORNOGRAPHY and is stirring up a massive, baseless lawsuit over it, thus traumatizing the fuck out of him.. which I imagine isnt the first time shes done so.

edit Whats the running bet on if the kids even allowed to have a bedroom door?

My swear jar would be 9x as big and still overflowing, because swearing is all I have left in my life.

I love lotro. I played it for 10 years. From release, until mordor.

I was madly inlove with lotro. It was a beautiful game. the only MMO where you actually read lore and quest text and anything else, because of how immersive it was all.. and the game was perfect (before mordor). Casual, relaxing, but challenging in all the right places.

and the community was just absolutely amazing. Kind, considerate, helpful, generous. Like you said, i think the average age of lotro players was over 40.. Until there was there was some issue with WoW that caused a lot of WoW players to immigrate to lotro... Then chat got less friendly, and more obnoxious, and the community got less kind, and less helpful.. cause all the kind helpful people got burned by the jackholes being jackholes.. Still a pleasant community overall, but no where near what it was before that WoWpocalypse.

My love and faith in the game changed with Mordor, though... Mordor broke me, It was just so pointlessly difficulty spiked on even the landscape mobs were slaughtering raid-ready players, that most of my kin, myself included, ended up just quitting the game. A few people eventually got the gang back together again for southern mirkwood, but that mordor level of difficulty was still there. No one in the kin, except for the hunters and the champions, seemed able to even 1v1 the landscape mobs. that also reflected group content.. no one wanted anything but healers and hunters. was the same with mordor, but even worse with southern mirkwood. Mobs were so dumbly overpowered that only the lotro character equivalent of tactical nukes were wanted in groups.. I, sadly, was not a tactical nuke class.

It really breaks my heart. I loved that game. I made great real life friends in that game.. I met my Ex in that game (though in retrospect that probably shouldnt be viewed as part of the happy memories lol), Spent so many evenings bullshitting in voice chat while we did instances and group content, or just ground out old content for deeds. Was such a magical fucking experience, that I'll probably never experience again for the rest of my life. The pre-mordor game was absolute perfection. Especially with the revamps to some less ideal/polished game areas like Moria.

And killed, to me, because devs listened to a vocal minority that wanted moar harderer.

I'm sad now.
