What if Margaret Mead, at her age, smoked grass

I use bandcamp to throw some cash at them, it’s a fair offer and ok price.

Some more things I’m sure of include that Spotify exists for the artists and won’t sneakily replace them with Suno-generated shit at first opportunity or fuck with people’s legacy of holy playlists or make the interface more cumbersome to alter users’ habits, or increase the price until the frogs start jumping out. It’s allowed to exists through the graces of biggest publishing conglomerates whose C-suite and shareholders get the lion’s share. Fuck fucking Spotify.

Buy their merch rather than feeding the beast

The big problem is how to make it fun for those who are not space nerds. They are making a game for hundreds of thousands of players with a budget of a game for tens of millions. They are getting funded for a feline-shaped bag, once it’s out chances are it’ll be so aggressive, mangy and moody no one will want to play with it. Aiming at a reticle projecting where the enemy will be when the shots land for 30 hours with occassional explanations by hollywood b-listers is not everyone’s cup of space tea.

Let’s just throw higher res textures at every 3D game that works good on Steam Deck until it’s unplayable. Days Gone used to be locked 48FPS for me and it’s pretty fucked these days and it looks a tiny bit better to a tiny bit worse depending on how dark you tolerate your night.

Please note Techland, I’ll just change my review to negative and uninstall your game forever if it works any worse or sparks any less joy than the version you haven’t fucked.

I wouldn’t give Microsoft any money if they were selling last molecules of oxygen on Earth, not fucking video games

2025 has clankers resmearching.

You should have asked an employee instead.

By all means, every increase in price is welcome, it’ll be that much less of a temptation. How are Concord and Fairgames doing?

This ia worthless, even if it was an official promise I’d never trust EA. Also, I fully expect a kernel-level anticheat. We’ll see after it’s out for a few years, I’m not dumb enough to buy a game that’s not 75% off.

It’s a) well enshittified to be cumbersome to use without apple’s shitty cloud, b) quality control is really bad last few releases and c) just a different class of a same phylum of fucking corporate roaches

Even if he does win, it’s still Windows, still under their control. It’d be maliciously and quite supraliminaly enshittified until it’s unusable. Just slap on a CachyOS or anything else open source

Loved Horizon, so I clicked on an open world gameplay trailer and it’s just survivalslop, fiddling with some shit-producing hovels to get them upgraded to shit+1-producing hovels and hitting trees until they’re planks.

Just consider what you’re up against - the first one was 7.49€ (the lowest I’ve seen) and I haven’t bought it yet simply because I have too many games to play for years now. I certainly won’t pay more than 10€ for the original or the sequel and I’d never pay MS for their shitty subscription.

The only good is Mass Effect 1, the second one was consolized safe cookie-cutter third person gameplay with the stupidest game finale of all time. Haven’t touched the third after that shit.

the bulk of the negative reaction to it had to do with bugs and/or missing content on launch

I played it after it was nominally fixed, but the story is complete shit and the gameplay is cookie-cutter third person sfslop

Andromeda was a good game after they fixed all the bugs.

Wish for your lack of discernment, I’d have so many good-to-me games to play.

The franchise is fucked, Andromeda didn’t interest many people anymore after ME3 was so shit, but it was dead to me after they ruined the story with a giant space skeleton bossfight at the end of ME2.
