When I was an edgy atheist back in college we went to a "critical thinking" convention where Bill Nye was the featured speaker. He ignored the poo poo out of me and my friends, but James Randi sat at our table and showed us magic tricks. He was really cool. :unsmith:

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Is ARK... good? Is it jank? I see it's on gamepass and like 130GB, and I tried a bit and felt it was not really worth the single player investment. Like a Minecraft with dinosaurs? I'm more of a Factorio kind of person, is there something here that maybe I would dig if I kept at it?

Foodchat, I know, but I still have about two cups of the chicken broth I made yesterday and it is so rich that it has become a blob of gelatin in the fridge. I don't know if I want to make ramen again so soon so maybe I should consider another recipe to use it

Hey buds, did I ever post in here to tell you when I beat 13 Sentinels two weekends ago and Hades a little before that? Because I did beat those games, and I want you (my buds) to know that. They were very good; in fact, I would go so far as to recommend them. Okay.

In the sense that some coked up executive announced they were doing a trilogy and got their quarterly bonus, yes.

Alright I was going to post this anyway before I saw that if I did this and "post about completing a game," I'd get a line.

Thinking about Death Stranding in the context of COVID really made me want to go back and finish it. (I got to the Mads chapter and then got distracted.) I really like the way this video frames Eva and DS as being "hopeful while accepting nihilism" (which has been my poo poo for years) and am very surprised that the person who made it was on GameStop TV while I worked there

For completing the entire square, your choice of:



Current forums policy is a max of three gangtags, so be sure to let me know what to do if this would put you over. You have the option to use [marquee] tags to have multiple tags on the same row, though there's still a character limit in the bbcode for custome titles.

I'll probably rerun bingo around January or so.

And...ta-da! That's a bingo. Didn't think I'd get one.

Gf spent all month making a costume like the May Queen from Midsommar (a hundred dollars worth of small flowers later...) so I bought a bear hoodie and splattered some fake blood on it. Then we're gonna order pizza and I'm probably going to play some Dusk.

Based on my vague recollection of several years-old news reports - same thing as Dragon Age Inquisition, they tried to make an rpg on the Frostbyte engine that is in no way suited for rpgs, combined with the same thing as Anthem, they tried to spend 4 years in preproduction wildly changing the course of the game over and over before they tossed out a buggy unfinished mess.

Also (in both MEA and DAI) they focused on spreading the game across big world maps full of collectables and the most generic open world content imaginable when both series' are known for tight, densely packed quest hubs (other than the Mako bits).

Now listen to me children and I'll tell you of the legend of the Ninja
I seem to remember earlier development was made on another engine, but the devteam was forced to port the thing to frostbyte at the last minute, which led to some of the more hilarious bugs during release. There's some pretty wacky footage on youtube on how the game functioned early on.

All in all, it seemed to be a standard case of EA making GBS threads on a project that wasn't projected to pull FIFA microtransaction levels of profit.

I've heard the tech side is mostly fixed now, but the game is still uninspired compared to the original trilogy.
