The McRib is proof that enough barbecue sauce can make anything delicious. If you get a bite that isn’t swimming in sauce it’s much worse.

Playing a giant melee on super Smash Brothers Melee with super mushrooms on high spawn while using the biggest characters on the game and watch level is fun. I think it breaks the core game enough to qualify as unintended.

I don’t have the time anymore, the price isn’t really the factor. Anything new has to compete with my existing library and backlog, and other things on my wishlist. It’s a problem that’s only going to get worse, games aren’t really aging out of relevance at the rate they used to.

Wet. The reviews were pretty harsh due to the length and number of loading screens, but the gameplay was extremely fun. It does end with a cinematic and quick time events which was a bit disappointing, but it’s one of the few games I’ve played through multiple times.

One of my grandparents had 7, I even took them to college

It’s somewhat common in Europe for full citizenship to require approval from citizens who know you.

The EU is working it’s way towards digital ownership. Gdpr and dma are steps in reducing corporate power and granting ownership over identity.

A product sold at a loss to attract customers who hopefully buy other products with higher margins that result in a net profit for the retailer.

I think comparing it to a console is the wrong mindset. It’s a computer first that can also be a console. It’s also a pre built Linux based computer you can have a higher degree of confidence that things just work even after updates. It’s a legitimate competitor for a new windows PC as much as it is a console competitor.

FF13 had a similar argument.

Digital ownership is probably going to happen, but it’s going to take a generation of politicians to die off. Once we get more people that understand computers and digital goods aren’t magic, there can be change.

The big difference is the compatibility is actually there now. Also, controller support is a lot more common for PC games now.

You deep throat that thing like God intended.

The big subs were full of bots, but for some it didn’t really matter. It a post was a bit but it was still funny on memes or funny then it’s fine. I don’t care if karma farming bots were the majority of posts so long as it’s still good content. The content does seem to be significantly worse now though.

It’s absolutely a generic open world game, bit that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The formula is fun if it’s done well, which I think it is for Horizon Zero Dawn. The combat style is also uncommon and provides a satisfying loop of stealth and bullet time mechanics.

Steam tends to be a lot faster download than other platforms. It’s been a while, but GoG is roughly half the speed of steam, and Microsoft is basically dial up speeds.

It think it has to be 2007 just because there are games that didn’t crack the top 10 that year that would be goty in other years. It’s also a huge year for multiple platforms, pratically every major franchise had a good release that year.

It’s a bit shit since it only covered some of the papers. All of them are owned by billionaires.

So is gaming at the extremely high level. A best of 5 or 7 in SC2 is 45 minutes to an hour and a half of focus with multiple periods of extreme focus and reaction. In both cases actions are happening faster than average humans can observe.

There’s a lot of grey area in that distinction though. There’s a handful of Olympic sports that showcase fine motor control in ways that aren’t that different from esports. Fencing and shooting are in the same realm as an RTS or FPS.
