  • I think The World vs US Trumpistan also has a bit to do this. Far righters are rallying around Trump these days and therefore non-American or non-America-aligned = bad. Honestly, the logic behind this is so bizarre that they catch many people off guard which is why it’s so successful.

  • OpenMW is effectively a remaster, there’s only so much you can do without redoing the engine and maybe some of the core mechanics for a modern audience which would constitute a true remake.

  • You’re really boring. I’m going to block you and ban you from my single person community that you stalk as well.

  • Please criticise this game for real things rather than culture wars, ok?

  • Companies spend money at marketing, news at 11 from a LinkedIn influencer. Do you know marketing budgets games of this size have? This is peanuts.

  • Kind of but at high ranking levels when there’s not enough players or matches it can make MMR changes a bit wild. The again Tekken is not a team game so maybe they can balance it out.

  • It’s probably this?

    Patch 2.00 also changes the Point Gain/Loss System. Now, the higher your opponent’s rank is, the more points you will earn for a win. Moreover, the lower your opponent’s rank is, the more points you will lose for a defeat.

    Matchmaking rankings are imprecise for the top players which can lead to big swings when weights are applied. Similar problem in Dota.

  • The Russian way of freezing your own ears off just to piss off the libs.

  • SC2: Wings of Liberty was very good but they definitely overdid it with expansions and couldn’t work themselves out of that hole.

    I’m not sure what do you mean by Microsoft quality lately. Just recently Black Ops 6, Hellblade 2 were received very well and Indiana Jones is a GOTY territory. Avowed was mixed but some of target audience seemed to like it a lot.

  • You don’t even need to go that far to see this technology in action. In the Eastern Europe we got microcomputers pretty late but that also meant our journey through the technological advancements from 1990 to 2010 started with a trickle of obsolete western stuff but then became a wild rollercoaster ride. At close to 40 I remember games being transmitted on the scout radio. You could also get games from magazines which simply printed source code.

  • As soon as we let them. So pretty soon probably.

  • That’s how Nintendo made money since Game Boy at least. That worked fine for them for over 30 years now. It’s the Gameboy people remember and not the Game Gear or Lynx despite technically being inferior.

  • According to pcgamingwiki it has frame pacing and stutter issues even on high end systems. I’m okay with how it runs on current PCs and Xbox Series X but that’s because I can stomach 40 fps with inconsistent frame pacing - many people can’t and at this point it’s probably best to hope for some updated version.

  • I didn’t think that gimmicky game where you run over lines of people (monks? cadets?) would become that popular. Never figured what they were exactly but it was fun. Quest system was a dealbreaker for me. I didn’t know English that well and timed missions suck.

    • I skipped 2 based on experience with the first. I think I missed more colourful lighting but not much more than that.
    • Couldn’t ignore 3 which was technically impressive but was kind of boring otherwise. Played it to kill time but Tony Hawk was still better at that.
    • 4 ran like shit but the story kept me playing. This thing needs a proper remaster to evaluate.
    • 5 was an all around achievement and a landmark in a video game history. It’s probably the closest thing to a modern Blizzard game - not exactly innovative but really polished and treated reasonably well for years.

    Never touched a game with predatory monetisation so I never touched multiplayer. Heard it sucks but somehow it’s making a bank.

  • It might be anti intellectualism in me but there are philosophical works and then there is empirical evidence. Statehood emerges from feudalism / casteism / whatever pyramid describing social order you might want to draw. Yes, there are communities that walked a different path but they never aspired to statehood. Everywhere else power vacuum invites power hungry individuals who inevitably exploit the weakest first and work their way up from there. Libertarian anarchism is just neoliberalism with a gift wrapping.

  • BMW probably know this feature goes very underutilised by their target demographic so they hope nobody notices.

  • Nie mam pojęcia czemu my mielibyśmy to wiedzieć. Może zapytaj tych Japończyków?

  • Anarchy is the default system before order forms. Everywhere you look that means some sort of feudalism. That’s why free market, anarchy, deregulation etc are seen by some leftists as means of returning to that kind of order. I’m aware of other anarchist schools of thought and I consider anarcho-syndicalism as possibly the only way to oppose current order. I don’t consider anarcho-syndicalism to be a form of anarchy though as it mentions methods of organising even in its name :)
