Don't forget Nintendo titles being the most locked-down zero options games on the market. I played a Nintendo game for the first time in a decade recently and my god it felt so antequated. Couldn't even change volume levels lol.

AI generated memes are truly the nadir of comedy

This was the most "design by trends the CEO's son saw five years ago" game I've ever seen. From day one you could tell it'd be DOA since it would be arriving years late and millions of dollars short, with absolutely zero soul or intent. You could smell the cash shop and sandpaper one-liners from a mile away. I feel for the devs at CA that have been pushed into making this game, and are now facing layoffs for it's inevitable failure. It's really time the C-suite started getting consequences for their poor decisions. Let CA make Aliens Isolation already dammit.

We should simply speak of nothing, ever then.

You can probably count the avid Facebook users who also use Lemmy on one hand.

I agree with your point but imo Johnny Silverhand is Keanu's best work.

Tbf a lot of companion interaction in BG3 is tied to long rests, so it makes sense to be pretty heavy handed with them

It does!

I once cast haste on myself, then quickened cast fly in the same turn.

Burned two 3rd level spells, sorc points, and burned two of my own turns in a bossfight lol.

Congrats you described the paradox of tolerance.

Yeah if someone thinks I and people I'm friends with shouldn't exist than I'm not gonna want to work with them. American Republicans are actively trying to remove any legal protections or rights trans (and LGBT in general) people have, and anybody who shares their views is helping them along. Why on god's green earth would I see that as anything less than an existential threat?

Good! Companies who let shitty people run it and let those people make shitty decisions should die. It's time for there to be some actual risk involved in being C-suite.

Well you got here by waiting 3 years to play a game that was perfectly fine about a month post-launch.

As someone who played on launch, with less than "best" specs - it was fine. I had the odd T-posing NPC or texture flicker, but I had decent frames almost everywhere and had a blast with a great game.

For more graphically intensive games actually, this is shifting back bc polys are a lot cheaper than texel density these days. Games like Star Citizen, Alien Isolation, Cyberpunk and Starfield (or other hardsurface elements in games like firearms or vehicles) with insanely intricate hardsurface elements that the player needs to be able to be up close all around and inside can't use baked normals due to the fact it'd just be impossible to get a decent texel density and bake, so now games are shifting to something called 'face weighted normals' which basically means that all the big bevels and chamfers are actually part of the model's geo instead of being baked down. Smaller stuff like greebling will be a flat plane shrink wrapped to the curvature of a surface with baked detail as a displacement or normal map.

Am I allowed to play it as a member of the LGBTQ community? Or will David Cage come to my house and personally beat me to death?

Fuck David Cage and fuck QD
