I would actually just settle for not pre ordering AAA games as a good place to start.

The cover of this comic shows Elena in her unforgettable White Widow costume, sitting in a giant fabric hammock, wearing the classic Black Widow gloves and holding a shotgun in her left hand.

It’s a web, not a “fabric hammock”, she isn’t wearing gloves, she’s holding a pistol. Fucking stupid ai articles, man.

Mine is 7 months old now. I felt the same. Just wait, you’ll likely feel that it was the best thing you ever did. Your kid may be the one to drive some positive change. Just do the best you can and give yourself some grace.

What a fucking badass.

I’m with you. The intro was pretty lackluster, the main campaign doesn’t interest me at all, and new Atlantis kinda sucks imo

Then I joined the crimson fleet and suddenly 50 hours was gone.

Good. Justice for Chrissie Carnell Bixler and the other victims and families he destroyed. Fuck the actors who continue to say what a good man this piece of shit is

I don’t think the world is ready for Bethesda Seinfeld RPG. But I am.

Til the dude who invented Segway died while riding a Segway. That tends to put an end to things quickly.

The thumbnail of the women standing at a podium with the emblem of the white house and in front of an American flag didn’t do it for you?

I actually played through it last month and it blew me away. I cannot wait to do a second play through when phantom liberty comes out! It was so so good.

Brink… Sigh. I remember that trailer coming out and I watched it like every day for years waiting for it to come. I watched every dev vlog, read every update. For years I was hyped on that. At time of release my buddy and I took the week off of work. We played it for like 3 hours one night and finished it. I remember thinking “there must be a mistake. This can’t be it. This isn’t the game I’ve been dreaming about.” I never booted it up again after that first night.

Brink was my CP2077.

They’re my squishy boots

Many states (especially more liberal ones) have laws regarding suspension and loss of wages /hours while an investigation is ongoing. Often times a paid suspension is to protect from future wrongful termination law suits. Paying someone to stay home for the duration of an investigation, then severing employment based on the outcome of the investigation is pretty standard practice… Not just for police or unions but companies as well.

I’ve got a bad feeling about this

Make stupid games win stupid prizes

Dude looks like an oblivion npc

I am enjoying it. Like the other commenter, I had the opportunity to be in closed alphas and betas. It’s indeed a cozy game that’s great for relaxing at home.

It’s a bit like BoTW or TotK where you set off to go do one thing and you realize an hour later you’ve done 30 other things. I enjoy that you are rewarded for playing with others (equal drops and spoils) and even gain bonuses when you are near or cheering on others.

There is no health bar, combat, or competition. So this is not a game for typical MMO players. Which I find nice, coming from other games where I tend to min-max or play competitively on a rigorous schedule.

However, 25 player instance limit can get a little lonely. Timegating crafting mechanics make it feel like a little too much like a mobile game and lack of controller support have prevented me from putting too many hours into it. (I am a new dad and controller support has become essential lately. For a game so focused on inclusion, I am baffled that it’s still not in the game at this point.)

There are also micro transactions in the form of $25 skins - which is just stupid expensive. They also don’t look that great though, imo. You’re not introduced to the cash shop at all, in any way. No pop ups at log in, no daily rewards, very little bullshit like is popular in other games lately.

I have noticed a lot of complaints around character customizing (only 2 body types, no facial hair, only 1 race).

For f2p Palia is definitely worth visiting, but you probably won’t be there for long.

Solid approach and a noble cause.

Always bums me out to see an interesting article with 50 up votes and no comments discussing it. I think comment content is a big miss right now (but when it does happen it’s usually more elevated than anything on reddit for the last 5 years).

Cheers.
