The straight-up lies are what really get to me. Bullshots and fake-ass trailers for almost a decade. Hype for shit that was never going in. And now people just say “it’s great, what’s your problem?” like they want it to happen again.

I finally saw one and was shocked at how stupid it looks. It’s like Elon had a grudge with babyproofed corners.

People have been remarking that numerous countries are unable to join PSN and this will lock them out of the game. But can someone explain to me how that could be true? Are they literally not on the drop-down menu for selecting your country?

It is not a creator’s responsibility to handle shitheads on a completely unrelated website. That’s absurd.

"I truly do not care if ConcernedApe speaks on pronouns in the game any more,” one user said. “I want [him] to condemn the transphobia and violence against the trans members of the community.”

How in the hell is this his responsibility? We have to prove our allegiances now? If I ever become a game dev I’m keeping my head down.

Damn, people on Lemmy get weird when you have something slightly nice in your house now?

We were satirizing this in 1964. People literally want regressivism.

I just got “done” (i.e. bored) with my last colony, this timing is perfect.

“Looks sketchy” and “feels wrong” is a strong argument.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve only watched like two of his videos. Seems pretty harmless and kinda fun compared to lots of boring YouTubers stuck in their algorithms.

Feels like anyone who criticizes this guy has never seen a gameshow before.

This game has like ten difficulty options. If you need the BFG on easy mode then you probably are just bad at videogames.

This game has like ten difficulty modes.

Aside from TF2–and even that I got a bit bored with–most all of my interest in multiplayer FPS died along with Unreal Tournament. Doesn’t feel like having fun is the goal anymore.

One thing I always liked about The Sims was it being a satire on life. Especially the first one. I don’t think this game is interested in going that direction… Everything is very Korean. Spotless and clean and sterile.

I really loved OkCupid back before they sold out. They would share a lot of interesting data on their blog posts, and seemed genuinely interested in making successful matchups based on how your profile was presented to others. It was fun to be on there and didn’t feel like you were just being presented for “dateable” you were if you didn’t want to be.

I also met my wife on OkCupid, but that was just before the site really took a nosedive. Pretty annoyed they deleted my account without warning, so the first message she ever sent me is gone forever.

I played EQ in that era and I absolutely love playing Project 99… to a point. It ends up with the same problem that every older online game seems to have: all the veterans that never left act like they own the place, and take it way too seriously.

If I do go back to P99 it will just be to level a character up until I get bored. There’s lots of essence to EQ that you just don’t get in modern MMORPGs; mostly because content is difficult to solo, working with others makes your entire life easier, and everyone is struggling together. I’ve had so many good conversations with people while camping in Blackburrow and Guk and the Karanas and so many places. I recommend it to anyone for that.

One of the few subs I actually miss.
