The religious fruitcake portion of my family. I'm so tired of listening how they're afraid of everything. This year it was the horror of how my state legalized weed, abortion, and some Disney movie had "gay stuff" in it and how thats bad because the movie is meant for kids.

There's almost no way you have played BG3 or you're just being contrarian. I love the old bioware and black isle and crpgs, BG3 absolutely stacks up to 1/2.

To call it "decent" is so disrespectful to the complexity of BG3. Hardly anything else even comes close to the scale of BG3, let alone any game fully voiced, in terms of decisions, outcomes, dialogs, and campaign paths of BG3. I'm 70 hours into my first playthrough and still likely have another 10-20 hours left of act 3. And all of those hours have felt impactful and engaging; none of that filler garbage you see in other games this size like AC or starfield.

This isn't exactly true as tencent has a 30% stake in Larian. I imagine it definitely helps to have an owner like Sven and his wife that are fully bought in though with 70% stake.

There have been two mass shootings in my city in the last 4 years. The first was a mile from my house on a popular bar hopping street that I had been to countless times. Many of my friends were there that night, some while it happened, and the only reason I wasn't, was because I flaked on plans last second to stay home and play video games.

Everywhere felt a lot different after that, it felt surreal. You could sense this difference on everyone around you as well. What helped the most was to just continue my routine and go out of my way to smile or be nice to strangers I passed by. Time went on, I kept doing my morning walks down that street, kept going to work every morning, and eventually it just stopped occupying my mind at all.

You can always tell when someone's been a career contractor because they never adhere to any of the established patterns/styles in the codebase.

Las Vegas seems like an odd choice for the one time collab but I'm here for it

MW 2019 was really good imo, awesome campaign and multiplayer. Felt like a worthy successor to COD4. I had a good time in MW2 as well but don't care to buy anything released afterwards.

It's kind of crazy how it's really just CoD, Halo, and battlefield after all these years. There's some more mil-sim type shooters out there that are great, insurgency, hell let loose, squad, for example. It doesn't seem like there's much out there though in terms of the less serious team death match shooters. The only other one I can think of is maybe titan fall.

It is funny

We might actually see the Star Citizen studio release a game before Ubisoft releases Skull and Bones

Couch coop is the only thing missing afaik and they axed that a while ago (even though there was a bug that would allow you to do it for a while lol). The non-battle pass progression system is pretty underwhelming as well but overall I'd say the game is complete now.

It's nice to see Cyberpunk is in the list of games adding support in the future. DLSS saved that game and is the only thing I miss about NVidia after switching to the 7900xtx..

So your comment got me curious and I did some digging. Was it either of these two animes?

Omg this is amazing! I've always wanted an F1 anime

Can reach be considered live service? I don't remember it being any more monetized than halo 3

I saw a theory from another lemmy user a while back that made a lot of sense. Basically shareholders get to a point where the want cash now. So they make a deal with the current CEO to do something shitty for short term profits. The shareholders get paid in the short term and then once the share price takes a hit they buy more shares at a discount. They then fire the current CEO who takes a nice exit fee and install someone else to do damage control and grow the stock price again. This is the only thing that makes sense to me because the alternative is that the current CEO is just actually that dumb.

WP Sainz what a boss drive

Lmaoo Sargeant fucking the entire circuit
