Plenty of stuff, turns out. But I’m sticking to my guns. I have a big backlog anyway.

Still unemployed so I’m not even looking. If capital doesn’t want to hire me, they can’t have any more of my money.
Is that the thing that colors parts of the UI based on your background? Because I despise that.
I don’t want things to change color. I want the UI to be predictable and stable, so I can use it without distraction.
Just off the top of my head
I guess everyone needs a hobby but this one sounds less rewarding to me than others.
I would be surprised if it was as good and big as bg3. I doubt they’ll give it to a small studio with a lot of heart, so it probably won’t be good.
Though I don’t know, maybe if they gave it to whatever’s left of obsidian it wouldn’t be the worst?
will humanity ever learn to stop acting like dumb angry monkeys?
Seems unlikely.
As to your broader point about the tools themselves not being bad, the root problem remains capitalism, or “a few people have unaccountable power over many”
I feel like the current AI stuff has been net negative. It prompted layoffs and hiring freezes, but then didn’t produce quality results.
You have to jump when you’re doing it, too. if you touch the ground before it finishes, it won’t work and you’ll just get shocked.
If you clear some post-game optional challenges, there’s a special move you can unlock that does it easier, but that’s only useful if you want to do NG+
Hours on the centipede man, you say? Once you get into the deflect rhythm, they’re very satisfying. Fill their posture right up and then finish them. But without the timing, you’re going to take a lot of chip damage or get posture broken yourself :(
Sekiro is one of my favorites. I like that it’s not really about leveling, and it pretty much gets right into it. I could pick it up today and blast through a new game.
Do you know how to do the lightning reversal? There are a handful of bosses that it really counters.
CEO seems like an idiot and/or coward.
There’s not a reason to fight most enemies in most video games to be honest.
Hmmmm… that’s a thinker.
In the older zeldas, you didn’t especially need to fight stuff on the overworld. I’d usually just run by, or kill the ones that were in my way.
In most FromSoft games, you can run past enemies but that can quickly spiral out of control. Killing them gives you time to explore safely, on top of the XP rewarded.
In shooters like Doom, you could probably run past most enemies, but they’ll keep attacking. Clearing them makes you safer.
Monster hunter it’s the whole point of the game.
What games are you thinking of where fighting is pointless? I don’t think it’s “most” games.
I think I remember some doge goon asking online about using an LLM to parse JSON. Many people don’t understand things.
Was this the one with the weirdest camera system I’ve ever encountered in a 3d game? I remember just constantly fighting with it.
Also D&D 3e is not something I want to go back to. What a janky system.
It was a good game. Not perfect, but very good.
Even the things I don’t like are pretty minor.
One of the reasons UBI games are trash
I parsed that as “universal basic income games” and was really confused. Ubisoft makes more sense
I found the solo play of both Remnant games really unsatisfying. Slow pacing, uninteresting enemies. Is it much better with friends?
no different than taking a bunch of books you bought second-hand and throwing them into a blender.
They didn’t buy the books. They took them without permission.
Maybe I spend too much time here because I knew what that was before I clicked it
I don’t accept the premise that working a job to make someone else rich is axiomatically good.
Many jobs make the world worse. I’d rather someone sit at home and play Tetris than build murder-drones, or work on some sort of AI powered stalking-ad company.
Many of the jobs are just bullshit. Another “AI” company? Another product manager with no real decision making power? A few billion dollars poured into “the metaverse”? Waste of time and resources.
That aside, most jobs make the owners rich while labor gets a few crumbs. You work all day making widgets. The boss pays you $10. They sell your widgets for $1000. That’s a bum deal. But there’s a thousand desperate people waiting to take your spot, plus union busters eager to betray labor and beat you up. Pay people the real value of their labor, and treat them with respect, and you’d likely get more people working.
Johnson is a heretical, hypocritical, piece of shit. No one should take him seriously. His church should – wait, he’s southern baptist? The “we’re going to split off because we want slavery” sect? Not surprising. Those assholes suck.
