Is this a typo or a clever name for buttigieg-themed minigolf

Planetside 2 has a huge update coming on Wednesday that adds player-controlled BF2142 Titans - I thought the game died years ago so I was surprised to hear it.

i think they tried to launch a battle royale mode a year or so back and the player population was so incredibly tiny that they killed it after a month or two

Daybreak keeps updating this game even though no one is playing it. Everquest 1 & 2 still get new expansions too despite zero player populations. I don't want Everquest to die because its such an historical part of gaming, but it'll probably shut down soon.

SoE broke from Sony and renamed themselves to Daybreak, but then a Russian mafia money laundering company invested in them, but that investment is no longer going as far as I know. Daybreak is entirely independent now.

It looks like Daybreak doesn't have much to do with it anymore and that the Planetside devs opened up their own studio. https://www.rogueplanetgaming.com/home It seems like a similar thing to what happened to the LOTRO devs last year.

The player count tripled in the past month with all the updates they've been doing, has a ways to go before they get back to even the 2015 levels but I'm redownloading to try it out after all these years.

Okay to be fair, they are at 2,429 people right now on Steam, and of course there is more than that playing with the non-Steam client. Maybe I should also give this game a try again. Its been years.

Not sure it would ever happen but it'd be cool if nintendo released a redo of the oracle games but done up like sonic adventure 2 where you had 2 different campaigns and beating them both would unlock a 3rd campaign and they could make the 3rd oracle game then that was originally planned

Decided to give Yakuza 0 a go since it was dirt cheap on Steam and it's one of those series' that you hear praise about every now and then.

It's really good fun. I'm not really a beat em up person but I could watch these characters be melodramatic at each other all day. Shame most of them don't seem to have made it to PC.

Looper posted:

when i compare the two, ff5 generally wins out mostly because it feels more replayable. this may not be because of the fiesta, but whenever i think about replaying BD i kinda groan thinking about some of the stuff that's a bit of a pain, and it doesn't really have any fun dungeons like the karnak 500 or fork tower. or fun secrets like the mirage town or getting the best bard ability by playing every piano in the game

the job system itself in BD is more fully realized and asks more of the player (if you aren't doing a gimmick run) but ff5 is the stronger whole imo

Same, FF5 isn't my favorite Final Fantasy game but I'd much rather replay it than ever retread the same dull, lifeless areas in Bravely Default 5 times again.

I'm no Yakuza expert I had a great time with the first 3, mostly Kiwami2

There's something about the hard boiled crime drama mixed with the surreal side stories and the gratuitously over the top combat that just makes for a fun time.

heres what i did. close your eyes and imagine two metal probes entering your nasal cavity, you're being lobotomized and as they cut away the grey matter you feel increasingly less care about the things you don't want to care about.

now open your eyes, you will now no longer look at the news and will fill that hole in your life with video games and, if you are so inclined, anime

Politics isn't just electoralism. Electoralism isn't the end point of politics. Those of us that want a decent life and a roof over our heads and to be able to see a doctor when we're sick or have sadbrains were going to have to fight tooth and nail regardless of if Bernie was president or not.

Some of my most satisfying political work has been on local issues working with people in my community to improve their own lives. We're working on organizing a regional tenants union right now and it's going really really well and is very rewarding.

Bernie has done more than anyone else in decades to start to build class consciousness and build a left platform and movement. There's a reason his campaign slogan is "Not Me. Us." He can only take us so far -- we have to do the rest and we have to fight harder than is fair to even begin to see a fairer, more just society.

Under no circumstances is the right or moral choice to be made to give up to the coming barbarism.


edit: and god knows Joe Biden isn't winning this year so if you want to do the whole electoralism thing again, that'll be winding up soon enough after November.

The coolest thing botw did was absolutely destroy the people who treat games like a checklist they need to tick all the boxes on.

Shrine feels tedious? Then don't do it lmao

As middling as BotW ended up it was in fact super cool after the first guardian to go "know what? gently caress this" when I realized I was still like twelve shrines from the master sword and go to the castle then just barely eke out a win in a three-four hour dungeon crawl and boss gauntlet using up every remaining weapon and item but like two (most of which I got IN the castle)

Too bad the rest wasn't as engaging and cool

it makes sense when you consider that it was a wii u game, and 90% of wii u games have phones and or tablets as plot critical elements
