Now this is something totally cringe-worthy, the original video is no longer there so here's one that criticizes it... Another one...
-
What I meant was the moderation actions that involve legitimate members of a forum, you know, the ones we always complain about, not the ones that can be categorized as "maintenance".
-
All moderation actions need to be transparent and open to public, if they claim to have some kind of integrity, but LL wouldn't do that, of course...

Just saw this, not that I'm interested in it...

Maybe we shouldn't feel so bad about that, considering the fact that we'll only live once and it's not very long, we'll all end up in a grave eventually and will soon be forgotten. In other words, someday we may realize that the monkey was right all along.

Pretty much the story of my life...

Here's a Russian doll of fucked up things... starting with Youtube, for recommending it...

The mind of a SJW is very puzzling... Instead of complaining about violence in video games, they seem to worry about their daughters' so called inability to express themselves in a violent video game... I wonder what their reaction would be if their daughters got drafted into the army for an actual war.

To be fair, when you turn real historical wars into games in which people laugh and have fun by killing each other, complaining about authenticity sounds a bit hypocritical to me. I mean, war, killing or dying is never fun, but clearly people who develop or play these games don't see it that way. If they did, they would have realized that it was very disrespectful to the millions who died in these wars and also they would never want "their daughters" to play them. In other words, it's all very fucked up in my opinion, whether or not there's a female soldier with blue hair in the game doesn't really change anything. DICE should have left historical wars alone and continued with the 2142. It was pretty good and had potential, besides no one would complain about authenticity.

Use this to upload 3 images of your favorite character from the games and it'll tell you who should play it. https://pimeyes.com/en/ Edıt: Never mind, it's too good at recognizing faces and doesn't suggest any actual humans. I think Emma Watson would be okay for the role of Ciri. I wonder who you'd pick for Shani Shani's mother...

I bet there's already a SJW infestation at CDPR.

No DLC for white man... free DLC for black man...

Nah, they're obviously filthy rich, they wouldn't care. -
A lot of people like the popular music of the 80's, but I think the 80's was when quality started to go downhill (largely thanks to MTV), especially in the late 80's. Overall, aside from a bunch of film scores, the music of the 90's and beyond is basically cancer, but people don't seem to care. Here's a tiny but rather telling example. One is a 1979 disco song by Sister Sledge, the other is a rap song, or whateverthatis, from the 90's with no melody of its own, other than the guitar loop ripped off from the 79 song. Guess which one is more popular. There are many more *songs* like this. Things are even worse these days as people seem to have run out of well known and popular things to rip off, and they now use relatively unknown old stuff from international artists. As I've said many times, there's been a rather obvious crisis in all creative areas in art, including movies and video games.

Ever wondered how we "fast travel" in games? Here's how... and this is me playing Skyrim etc...

Beth has already copıed Bioware's dialogue wheel and reduced it into a single dialogue option that appears like four... I wonder what their next move will be... no, wait, I don't want to know!
-
Well, I currently have no interest in playing it, so I won't buy it, won't even pirate it, period. Simply because it doesn't really meet my standards as an RPG. Not interested in its story, its FPS game play mechanics, or its limited character customization. Since they won't add a TPP option and an extensive out of the box AO content is extremely unlikely, plus judging by its predecessor's highly limited moddability, I won't be buying it as a "DIY pron simulator" either. I will probably watch a LP if I live that long and that's about it. :)

Is it though, at least it seems to let you say "No".

Yeah, you have to take a looong break to basically reset your brain and then wait for that nostalgic feeling to take over your body. Only then you'll have enough strength for one more playthrough.

You know, people used to have homepages in the early days of the Internet, simply to be accessible or to help others. Nowadays, people use social media to show other people how amazing their life is, how great they are having it, or to lecture people on how they justify the stupid, selfish things they do in life. In other words it's either showing off or some kind of therapy session. Social media is basically the cancer in our society.

AHAAHHAHAHAHAAH! The "COMPLEX" dialogue wheel was too much for Bioware! So, you now have TWO dialogue choices... Let that sink in... https://www.pcgamer.com/anthems-conversation-system-allows-for-two-dialogue-choices/ If one day someone comes along and claims that video games haven't been dumbed down, I will probably strangle him/her with my bare hands... and enjoy it immensely.

Yes, only so many times you can go through the same story. Mass Effect is a good example. I could only finish it twice, once with an adept character and then a soldier, but I had prepared characters for all classes and had planned to finish the game once with each class. Never happened. Once you've played the entire game and finished it, playing it a second time starts to feel like a chore really, very little left to explore, not much mystery left to discover...

Absolutely, and that's probably why game-play is of secondary importance in many games today. There are of course games that do the opposite. Usually indie games, for obvious reasons. Shitty game-play is not something they can afford. Mount&Blade series is one such example I can think of. Fun game-play, but no story. Same here, I still look for some innovation in games though, something that would get me excited and that's still nowhere to be found, sadly.

While CP2077 fanboys (and girls) are getting more and more hyped about the game, I try to read between the lines and the info they've dug up basically confirms my suspicions about the game. Some developer quotes taken from the video above... "The entire game is playable from start to finish" "Seeing the story come together is a critical step in the development" So the game is basically "a story" and has one or more predefined endings, like TW. In other words, this isn't a sandbox game in which you can do whatever you want, instead, it only allows you to choose your path to one of its endings. This suggests that every cutscene in it will be specially crafted and will not be reused, which means the amount of time you'll be seeing your character in the game will be limited, as it's going to be a FPP game. Another result of having a story is that you will always be presented with a very limited amount of options in the game because you'll have to pick one of the existing paths that goes along with the story, you can't create a path of your own. TLDR, this is basically a first person only "The Witcher", with "cyber" guns and "cyber" magic, in which you can play a female witcher. It's got some simple cosmetic character customization, which seems pointless to me. Will probably be similar to Deus Ex like people say. TBH, I couldn't even watch Deus Ex LP's without falling asleep...

[Nostalgia] Once upon a time... when we were kids...
bjornk replied to bjornk's topic in Off Topic Talk
Spiderman, good choice! When I was about five or six, I used to tell our neighbor's kid that Spiderman was my friend and he always believed me and never wanted me to prove it. I don't think I've ever watched Gunsmoke, but it reminded me that I used to watch Bonanza when I was a kid! And thanks YT, yes, I also watched Kung Fu...:D
