frequent "good enough" reasons to sub is what xbox envisions for gaming next gen.


I'm actually pretty impressed by Xbox gamepass. If they add at least 1 new title every few months the service easily pays for itself. $5 a month is a fair price for a bunch of really cool indies + exclusives I probably would have never played otherwise like sunset overdrive. I might be biased though because my last experience with a console subscription service is PSN which I let lapse because it kept getting worse and more expensive.

I like how if you gently caress him over with the power you just get to leave after killing half a dozen guards.

I think they can't do long hair, if you look at the two longer hairstyles they totally blow (I also think longer hair would clip through everything)

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I am so happy Outer Worlds isn't on Steam because I might have bought it if it were

I have absolutely been biased by recently playing through Disco Elysium, but Outer Worlds just feels bland and dumb. The first town is a slave colony full of brutalized indentured servants and the game completes fails in building any sense of pathos

My sole complaint about Disco Elysium is that it wasn't longer. I wish I still had it to play. Why did God send this game to me now, I wonder, when I no longer have the time or inclination to replay games over and over?

I feel as though I missed a lot. I never got into that container. I never found out who Ruby or Klaasje really were. I never found my gun. I never learned what the Pale was. I wish I didn't arrest the communist holdout.

Maybe I can do another playthrough soon. I hope they make a sequel.

Don't be a coward, just roll a completely different character.

Whedon is the the paradigm case of someone who seemed progressive twenty years ago and then his critical thinking inclined fans noticed more and more problems until it came to light that he routinely abused the power we gave him to coerce young actresses into sex.

So I can totally believe someone who can't talk the difference between centrism and leftism being inspired by his work.

Yeah, in the one case of Simon, due to an explicit choice to value solidarity with his sister over the comfort of bougie conformity.

So you get some really weird things like the semi-deaf bounty hunter threatening the mechanic with rape as a pure power move, but remaining a somewhat sympathetic antagonist on the strength of ultimately being a worker.

Or the whole fantasy being a bunch of workers running a small business, but Jane representing both the possibility of the power dynamic being flipped on the captain at any moment if he no longer represents the crew's collective interests and the possibility of betrayal and breakdown in solidarity due to the leverage of capital.
