God, Mouthwashing was a masterpiece.
I also really, really enjoyed Arctic Eggs, but it’s so absurd that I can barely recommend it to people.
I appreciate Critical Reflex in ways I hadn’t quite put together until reading this article.
I’m famously a World hater, so yes, absolutely. Until Icebourne released, I was extremely disappointed with World, even for a pre-G Rank release.
Though, all of the titles since Generations have had the problem of being released with a portion of the planned content missing. I was more forgiving of it before, though I am having a hard time pinpointing why.
Compared to World and Rise? It’s just not very good. It’s by far the fewest hours I’ve put into a Monster Hunter game since… Well, literally ever.
Based response tbh.
While you are overreacting to the accident itself, driving is not for everyone. I strongly disagree with driving being a basic skill everyone should have. This is some North American cultural mythos created to help further push the responsibility of building decent public transit off of our lawmakers and governments.
Driving is a challenging thing to do correctly, and a not small number of people have no idea how to do it, but are on the roads anyway. While I believe you should take an accident like that with a growth mindset, the clear truth is you’ve never felt comfortable behind the wheel, and your skill set doesn’t seem to be built for that. If it’s important to you, I suspect you’d be capable of overcoming the unique challenges it presents to you, but it’s not. There are ways to live without being a driver, and things you can provide to others in exchange for them being the drivers in your life, and imo, that is fine.
Don’t quit driving because you had an accident. Decide if being able to drive matters to you, and decide how you want to live.
I still have the CD in a box somewhere. It was loaned to me by a friend and I never gave it back. Hilariously, I still see that friend, so that might make for a fun conversation.
I do want to state that the flight model has NOTHING on Elite. But otherwise, it is in a lot of ways a game which I wish Elite was a lot closer to.
Friends and I downloaded it, prompted by this post. There’s a little bit of awkwardness and animation jank, but man, does the game get the core concept right.
Space is not flat, the ship feels like a near arcane contraption, rail guns should feel like they’ll punch a hole in a small planet, and grappling hooks always feel good. These guys know what I’m looking for. The only thing I could genuinely ask for is a more true to physics flight model, but ultimately, I’ll be too busy taking down fighters using a rocket launcher while gravity-booted to the nose of my ship to care too much.
On the contrary, it’d be rude to expect any other answer. Shoving expectations onto a complete stranger and then judging them for firmly denying you is what’s rude here.
With you in spirit, but they have too much control over too many lives to just be dismissive about.
While I am sure there are real, specific reasons that can be pointed to as “the reason,” the real answer is that you can’t put two narcissists in a room together and tell them they’re on the same team. This always was the only possible outcome.
It doesn’t.
0% homelessness in China btw.
Which is like the US declaring homelessness a federal crime, imprisoning everyone who lives on the streets, and calling homelessness a solved problem.
In any other setting, when we take specific, tiny stones and carve patterns into them until they can perform tasks for us, we call it magic.
The BMI was created by a social scientist to place people into rough categories for a study on how obesity impacts social interactions, in greater research on how the “average man” represented a social ideal. The fact that we now use it to define who is obese and overweight is a little insane. While it’s been adopted by major health organizations (and hopefully adjusted by genuine health professionals), it is a horrible singular indicator of physical health. People in the extremes are statistically more likely to face health issues. This is not the same thing as “being in the obese category makes you unhealthy because you are fat.”
I hate that you get downvoted for pointing out the reality of the situation.
Relative to the price of everything else, $80 for a AAA videogame is actually reasonable. The problem is that rent has gone up drastically, food has gone up drastically, and our wages have stagnated. Getting pissed off at Gearbox for charging $80 for Borderlands 4, and then paying $15 for a burger and fries without an equal reaction just doesn’t seem sensible to me.
Everything is awful, and videogame devs aren’t the ones stealing all our buying power.
I agree. The war in Ukraine can only truly be resolved by removing it’s root causes. Remove Putin, and the war ends.
Adding to this one. Incredible game.
