Less people randomly walking in every direction and more people just randomly sitting on broken down cardboard boxes.

Polar opposite of the rest of the industry, hell bent on keeping labor costs low with constant layoffs.

An inferior version of the game, by all accounts too. Worse graphics and performance.

Oh look, a sob story and a survival crafter. Never seen those things together.

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Yeah. That napkin math looked way off to me.

The games I haven't played yet are also the games I never paid full price for, or got in a bundle, heavily discounted.

Oh look at that. The author, Steven E. Koonin, was employed by BP as their Chief Scientist. Then he was in the department of energy during Obama's administration.

I'm sure he doesn't have a vested interest in oil though.

The energy transition’s purported climate benefits are distant, vague and uncertain while the costs and disruption of rapid decarbonization are immediate and substantial.

Yeah... No conflict of interest here at all.

Does it matter at this point? They lost a lot of interest in this game.

They won't make a ruling. They'll leave this case on the docket until after the election, then if Biden wins, they'll affirm the prior courts decision. If Trump wins, he'll get the case dismissed and the courts will happily never answer this very important question.

As much as I would love to see consequences for their actions, I wouldn't hold your breath..

Unless you already paid for a lifetime Plex pass, I highly recommend giving Jellyfin a try.

Yep, bought a lifetime license like a decade ago when it was cheap. I've stuck with it since it's been simple for my family to use.

If you aren't aware, the Ghost Stories English Dub is one of the most insane dubs ever made. It's incredibly offensive and racist and bat shit insane at times and it's probably one of the funniest things I've ever watched. Scamboli Reviews has a great summary video about it. If you have time, it's worth watching this anime at least once in your life.

The Gold Saucer is sure to be fantastic, and I'm excited to see the date scene. But I'm particularly interested in how they do Barret and Dyne's encounter. I hope they expand on that whole moment.

Can we discuss the start of act 2?

I made it a point not to roll back my saves for any decision I make. So far, I've managed to save the tiefling's at the druid camp. Being a tiefling myself, I want to see them make it!

This made me all the more excited to see all the tiefling's that I'd saved make it this far. And boy were there a lot of them. So many people I recognized from previous conversations or quests. I was thrilled! And they of course remembered me.

I say all this to emphasize how hard it hit me when I wasn't able to protect Isabel. That whole interaction blindsided me so bad. And my initiative roll was horrible for all my characters, I ended up being paralyzed and they just slaughtered her in 2 turns.

It was a freaking gut punch, the likes I haven't felt in a game in years. All those innocent people, turned to monsters, then forcing me to put them down.

My main character was always so optimistic before this. This interaction is gonna make me change the way I play and the decisions I make going forward, just to really add to the impact of him losing all those people he cared about, thinking the decisions he made led to their death.

Is there anyone living the good life with their tiefling friends in the Last Light Inn? Anyone who saved Isabel? Because my character just lost his people and is a broken person now because of it.
