BrewDog has never been punk. It's always been a PR machine. I kind of can't believe how big they've got with pretty mediocre beers.

Someone should write them a strongly worded letter for infringing on white representation and ruining the man's good reputation.

They're technically interdimensional beings. They were worshipped as Gods by the Norse, not literally Nordic humans.

Also, it's yet another hero shooter. Have we not moved onto another trend yet?

Probably a tougher 8 years if you were already geriatric at the start of those 8 years.

Good to see. I really enjoyed the demo and have it wishlisted. Poor choice of release date in my opinion though. I was never going to be prepared to buy a full price game the day after the Steam Sale finished.

Why would you convert the perfectly sensical units?

Addicted to reading drivel.

I wouldn't mind if my kids were glued to books all day, but newspaper opinion pieces should only be used as toilet paper.

I don't understand his point. He's saying the engine was not built for shooters, but wasn't the engine first used in The Division? I would describe that as a shooter.

Oh gods. An Epstein island, but instead of underage girls, it's all Trump doppelgangers.

Trump World sounds like the shittiest theme park. Even worse than that Willy Wonka Experience.

But they hit so many buzzwords. 20 year old buzzwords even!

He could even start some kind of alternative social media site and branded bibles.

But then he wouldn't make any money.

Yeah, I've personally had them tagged as "leftist trump bot" since interacting with that sub once and getting banned immediately. I've since seen them post sane stuff elsewhere on the fediverse and was surprised as within that sub they seem completely unhinged.

Oh yeah, that community is horrible. I saw a ton of their posts popping up on my feed and made a comment on there before blocking it (some question about the heavy advocacy for voter apathy) and was immediately banned.

Yeah I understand they were all 6th gen. My point was just that it doesn't really make sense to blame the Dreamcast failure on its timing. Dates also matter:

Late 98 was release in Japan
\ Late 99 was release worldwide
\ Early 2000 was PS2 in Japan
\ Late 2000 was PS2 worldwide
\ Early 2001 Dreamcast was killed
\ Late 2001/Early 2002 Gamecube and Xbox

The meme makes it look like the Dreamcast popped up late, but timing was not the reason for it's demise at all. PlayStation dominating the market, as you mentioned, was probably the biggest one. People knew the PS2 was around the corner and the Dreamcast had barely been out in the EU by the time the PS2 was strutting it's stuff on the Japanese market.

Yeah, I'm of the opinion the Saturn was the real problem. It was not a bad step forward compared to the Megadrive, but compared to the PS1 it was nowhere near as good.

Dreamcast was a great console. It was really ahead of it's time with a bunch of things, the VMUs, the internet connectivity, the range of peripherals and keyboard/mouse integration. It was the first console I ever got relatively near release and never regretted it.

This is a really odd way of putting it seeing as the Dreamcast came out before the PS2 and was discontinued before the other 2 even came out.

I would say that's pretty silly.
