  • Wut. Ofc they know it. They also know that their voters would never vote D either, no matter how bad things get for them.

    The R senator of Kentucky has held a <20% approval rating but also his seat for decades. 9 out of 10 people in the state hate him with a passion and yet those same people vote for him again, and again, and again. It's absurd, lool.

  • Yeah, we're just less experienced and have fewer expectations when we're young. We were much more impressionable then.

    Guys in general are bad at portraying women, as I understand. That's on top of being bad in general for Kojima, I think. There's a funny interview with the MGS2 English translator Agness Kaku where she comments that the writing at times is high school fanfic level.

  • And she's 100% justified. The older you get the more appearant it becomes that he's bad at writing dialogue and story. He's a tendency of using controvencies to create drama and it often falls flat, if not into eye-roll territory.

    I could not stop cringing during Death Stranding. I had to fast forward the ending. I imagine Margaret Qualley being completely bewildered when they were capturing her character's twin soul melding scene.

  • That entire article reminds me of when I was told by my very rational and intelligent friends that I was overreacting to Kavanaugh's nomination proceedings - something about how his nomination would backfire.

    What a stark contrast compared to what we have to worry about now.

  • I know, I know. It's not a knock against the game or anyone who likes it. Maybe I'll come back to it in the far future. There are almost too many games available at the moment so I'll be ramming my flaccid dong against another wall until I love it.

  • I see. Well, I guess I'll see you in 2 years then when they inevitably pull off another swap and move all resources from SC back onto SQ42, and use that as an excuse, yet again, for why significant progress isn't happening now, but soon in the near-future.

    I'll even mark my calendar 😉

  • Is it the early access games, or is it just Chris Roberts' history of being deceptive?

    I mean, if SQ42 is truly close to being released, if it requires a last push, shouldn't all employees continue to work on the project? Usually the final stages of a project require more work, not less.

    Why would you suddenly "prioritize porting features from SQ42 to SC" if releasing SQ42 is a goal?

  • "(On SQ42) ...but our plan is to be feature and content complete by the end of 2019, with the first 6 months of 2020 for Alpha ... and then Beta." - Chris Roberts, 2018

    Apparently the order of operations is reversed for Chris Roberts in that both "feature complete" and "content complete" come before both "alpha" and "beta".

    There might even be a "delta" and "gamma" - you never know when it comes to this man and the absolute slipperiness he employs with the English language.

  • I imagine all of these powers come as the worst possible implementation like a cursed rabbit's foot.

    Like free gravel for life: you don't conjure it out of thin air at will, no, it's magically mailed to you once a day in small quality and you have to remove it from your mailbox or it'll fill it up.

    Teleport 7 inches: a magic nimbus appears and lifts you on it. If there's a wall in the way, it just keeps shoving you against the wall.
