wtf has Starfield got to do with anything?

They both were received badly. Because they were both disappointing.

Beautiful cherry picking. "Only" lmao.

I'm sorry the Israelis aren't overtaking the record-breaking years but they're still dropping more than the bombs dropped in Afghanistan most years. In a week.

I've heard this somewhere before... When a Ukrainian building got blown up recently.

OH IT WAS PROBABLY THEIR OWN.

Or maybe they're just being bombed all the time?

You realise that more bombs have been dropped in Gaza this last week than an entire year of the war in Afghanistan?

I can go through my own comments and make you a list for starters

What are you talking about. It had a bad rating because it was received badly, what stats show that everyone loved it 😂

😂 it's always interesting to click the "why are you showing me this" button to see just how wide a net they're casting. (Before ruthlessly clicking it to waste the budget on their stupid untargeted ads, then blocking it)

I'm talking about the world on the whole, because unfortunately I got bored and was so disappointed in the offerings that I probably didn't play the missions you mentioned, and dropped it out of my to-play list, as other games have been more engaging.

Saying something wasn't broken when it was, is whitewashing.

The statistics are that the majority of people were disappointed in the release.

Sounds good! I'm going to start now.

Unfortunately not anymore. I joined the course in the hope that I could get a career in 3D modelling and sculpting.

They didn't really talk about 3d until the second year when they hired a new tutor, and that tutor was just no help at all. I remember asking him all year to help me model a car, I really wanted to make a Nissan GTR and a Lamborghini Gallardo in 3D, and showed him my progress and what I was stuck on. His only advice was 'do it in NURBS', and nothing else. The cars never got finished.

Then in the 3rd year, I was promised a work placement and even a student exchange program in Japan. Instead, I got the email address of a busy 3D modeller who didn't reply to me once.

The university didn't care about me or my goals or my education, they just wanted my money. It really killed my dream and my passion for the job. I still keep tabs on all the cool things people are doing in the industry, but the prospect of joining them died with that course.

Again, no it wasn't perfectly fine. Of course, I had it on an M2 drive. No amount of whitewashing can cover up the fact it was broken and unfinished on launch, and that's why there was such a well deserved backlash.

They promised things that simply weren't in the game. There were clear unfinished parts of the world, the story, and the gameplay.

Starfield is Skyrim in space. If you like that formula, great, you got Skyrim in space.

Holy shit that is long. I'll give it a watch while I'm working. I looked at the similarities at university studying animation 17 years ago, so I'd be interested to see what been dug up!

It was not the only true sin of cyberpunk. I played on release on a 3090 and it was bland, felt rushed, full of bugs, and the city felt hollow with things spawning in and out breaking immersion. It just wasn't a fun game unless you stuck to the rails, and even then it felt half-assed. The intro where I'm rushed into the city and then they just skip over all the character introductions with a cutscene really left a sour taste in my mouth.

They hyped it up to be this living breathing city with ultimate freedom and they simply didn't deliver.

Starfield, however, everyone knew they were using the same old engine, with the same old game design, it was just going to be Skyrim in space. And it was.

Almost as if they spent 163 million dollars on marketing. That's why there's so much astroturfing and constant press releases. They're paying big money to turn the reputation around.

The UN deleted the tweet and deny that it actually happened. Yet these news articles ignore that. But that doesn't match with your extremely biased view. Genocide apologist?

Like kimba the white lion?

The UN had supplies for a humanitarian crisis. 1+ million people are being evacuated, and more bombs have now been dropped than an entire year in Afghanistan. Is this not a humanitarian crisis?

If Hamas is the government, and the aid is there, then the government has received the aid that the UN delivered?

I'm sure there's more to this, that's not mentioned, but the context is odd.

Hi! I work with google ads every day, it's my job, and I have a business running ads for other small businesses.

Guess what, I use an ad blocker!

If all ads were innocent businesses trying to sell things I'm interested in, and they all had their targeting set up correctly, it'd be great. Unfortunately, all my ads are "you are male and under 60" and that's as sophisticated as the targeting has been set to, so they're totally irrelevant, terrible ads.

Also, my other issue is that some advertising platforms have really low standards for what you're allowed to show. Google at least has some standards and is sometimes overzealous with its automated disapprovals, which hopefully makes its platform a little better. But I don't get to choose which platform ads I see when I visit someone's site (and Google pays very little when compared to other platforms)

They're just cheap shit. I don't buy cheap shit, I have a premium chair that I bought used for a fraction of the price, cheaper than a "gamer chair" 🫣

I have a follow-up question.

Where do recipes come from? Surely everyone's just stealing each other's recipes and the most arrogant people are compiling it all into cookbooks and pretending they invented it?

I have fun, whilst sitting on a super comfy chair made to be adaptable and ergonomic so I can have fun for longer without fucking up my body. 🤷‍♂️

With a gaming chair, you're also overpaying for bad posture and bad materials. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Yhc6mmdJC4

It just makes me think 'kid that got scammed and follows trends to fit in', not 'fun'
