Yeah, they brought needlers and know where the Fuel Rod Gun spawns. One’s already Running Riot with the plasma sword.

I hate how true this is lmao

This probably the most embarrassing comment I’ve ever read here. I can only assume that you are currently dying of shame right now.

I agree with this mostly, but I think the lessons devs learned over the history of video gaming means that they become exponentially more accessable and intuitive. A game from 20 years ago (a late PS2 game) takes getting used to, but a game 20 years before 2004 (so 1984) basically requires a college course in how to play it. I’ve seen some comments online about how 2009 games are so old and obtuse and I’m like, they play almost the exact same as today’s games because developers had figured out a formula that works by then!

Funnily enough I read that Nomura actually wanted to keep the remake very faithful to the original story. The ghosts and deviations are actually ideas from the other writers, Nojima and I-forget-the-other-guy.

I’ve seen a couple comments on Reddit saying it’s very uncommon to announce a VP in their home state, so it may be anyone but Shapiro. Although they (or I) could be mistaken. I’m too lazy to research it rn.

Bottom right. Whispering You a Love Song. It’s an actual lesbian romance story. The anime is not the most well done anime in the world (I still find it watchable though) so if you’re interested the manga is more recommended.

I think they kinda made that announcement to tell people they haven’t forgotten about the franchise, because there were fans upset that they were hearing nothing about it at all. But since they made it, it’s now annoying that it’s been so long. One of those damned if you do, damned if you don’t things. I would have preferred TES 6 instead of two Fallouts in a row (4 and 76), but at least it’s now their next project.

Lmao the manga’s actually pretty good and you wouldn’t even expect it. I even started liking the characters, and was annoyed when volume 2 kinda dropped them. But I mean, you wouldn’t expect Das Kapital to even have any characters.

Ah, more Stormtroopers, just in time for Star Wars day.

That’s just a shot-for-shot remake of Triumph of the Will

Agree 100%

I was actually impressed by the level of RPG mechanics they put in this, the character creation alone is much more in depth than Skyrim’s (although they are both still some of the lightest RPGs out there). In terms of those aspects it’s better than Skyrim. But I have more fun in Skyrim than Starfield because I’m constantly engaged with the game systems: walking, leveling, finding quests and dialogue. I wish Starfield was close to Skyrim like this.

He’s right though. The main thing I’ve seen people complain about is how separated all the zones are, linked by menus and loading screens. People generally know Bethesda games as free and open to explore, where just picking a direction to walk in could lead to interesting encounters and new quests.

I see that they have a free version. Is this also good? I’m assuming no, but should ask anyways.

What I mean by this is that there is no choice for capitalists but participate in our economic system. If a “nice” business owner tries to be fair to their workers, give them the full value of their labor, etc., then they will be out-competed by a company that does not. As long as workers continue working for a company (no strike or anything), then the safest course for a business to take is maximum profit and wage exploitation. This way, they keep wages down, their shareholders are happy, etc. Now, there’s always a balancing act they put on so that workers don’t realize this, be that platitudes like game rooms at tech start-ups, all the way to traditional methods like raising wages.

Because of this, businesses will naturally gravitate toward anti-worker practice. As late-stage capitalism progresses, this becomes even more brutal. Now the biggest companies maintain their competitive advantage by lobbying, PACs, propaganda, owning the news stations. Joe Biden and Donald Trump both have lavish dinners with donors and business owners who discuss politics and national policy. And because these business owners are from Microsoft and Raytheon, they further America’s goals (substitute America for any Capitalist country too). The capitalist class has centralized power because any individual in the class who tries to steer policy toward worker protections and limits on their own class are quickly out-competed.

I’m basing this analysis on some of the later chapters of Capital like Vol. 1, Ch. 25, Section 2 (I skimmed this just now to make sure I could word this response correctly). I do recommend the entirety of Capital for a scientific breakdown of worker power and commodity production. Hexbear has a reading group for the book going on now.
