Todd bought Fallout because Fallout was only just seen as a way to make merch out of. Yes, let's have vault boy on everything, let's have nuka-cola replicas, let's have bottle cap replicas .etc
But nothing about whether or not the games are even worth a toss to play. There's people who still to this day, favor FO 1, 2 and New Vegas. They were made with a level of charm and care that got YOU to where you are today. FO 3, 4 and 76 all feel like just empty open worlds with recycled material, it's running in place with no forward progression.
The OG creator of FO may be a humble guy, but the series still deserve better.
Edit: There’s a lot of people in the comment section who clearly didn’t read the article so let me clarify that no, this is not about Judge Aileen Cannon. Read. The. Damn. Article.
A couple weeks ago Discord announced their plans to go down the IPO route. This means that there is now a ticking clock until the platform goes full-on enshittified like so many others before them....
I loathe that platforms treat themselves this way. We see this happen over and over again when a newcomer comes into the field to shake things up. They become, eventually, the best alternative. They eventually become the only thing.
And all that they turn out to be, are just portfolio fluffing projects to be made into an IPO. Then the enshittification and oh, there is next to no where to go.
There's no point in debating anyways. What has Trump done in all of the debates he's ever partaken in since 2016? It's nothing but loud mouth, underhanded and stepping over boundaries kind of tactics. That's all he's got, it's all he's had and it's all he's ever going to have. There is no point in debating about serious issues with a diaper-shitting loudmouth who's going to just rabble at you. It'd be like talking to a dumb Reddit troll who's an armchair know-it-all.
A Hays County man has been sentenced to 410 years in prison after pleading guilty to 65 counts of continuous sexual abuse of multiple children and possession of child pornography with intent to promote, according to county prosecutors....
Donald Trump continues to have a low favorability score among Americans, new polling shows, despite being the likely Republican nominee after winning the lion’s share of primaries and seeing off his only remaining rival....
That's what all campaign messages should be about. Stop dancing around the line with ridiculous claims and how you oppose them or making up stickmen for you to knock down to seem strong.
They'll start to care, even a little, once they grow up more and realize that:
"OMG I'M STILL RENTING APARTMENTS OR LIVING WITH MY FAMILY AND I'M 30 YEARS OLD, WHAT DO?!"
"OMG I'M STILL MAKING SHIT WAGES AND I'M BARELY MAKING BY, WHAT DO?!"
"OMG I CAN'T DO ANYTHING I WAS LIED TO THAT WHEN I GROW UP I'D DO, WHAT DO?!"
And they'll all take to social media to pump themselves with copium through memes and bitch to the high heavens pretending anyone gives a shit about what they're saying. Not like that isn't happening now.
New Delhi has confirmed that some of India’s citizens have signed up for “support jobs” with the Russian army. The Indian government says it is working with Moscow to secure their discharge....
Lol, most of these acts have watered down over the years.
Mudvayne is only happening because Hellyeah is mostly done after Vinnie Paul's death. Not sure how they'll be, if they'll be anything.
Korn has been sucking.
Slipknot is a little unstable right now.
System of a Down isn't really doing much and Serj Tankian hasn't been that interested in rejoining the band.
Deftones is solid.
Limp Bizkit is a has been, also fuck Fred Durst.
Disturbed is just okay.
Papa Roach is so-so.
Static-X is just a tribute act these days.
Drowning Pool lost a lot of relevancy.
Mushroomhead seem to be doing fine.
Alien Ant Farm is still doing something but they're so-so. One hit wonder.
CrazyTown is more or less dead.
Ill Nino is just up in the air.
Okay, so there's game delays that actually have helped some games. Then there's games that sit on Early Access for what seems like forever, wondering what the fuck are they doing, like 7 Days to Die.
I like and respect games that, take their time because they want a certain vision of a game to work itself out as intended. I don't like and respect games that need to rush for the holidays or need to rush for company appeasement.
Sony Interactive Entertainment sent a message via the PS5 and PS4's advisory systems mentioning that the consoles won't support X (formerly Twitter) integration anymore.
Yeah because we've gotta share clips of what we play to several dozen fucking media places. I'm glad my better gaming days seemed to be resting at the PS2 era, didn't have all of this social media shit.
Competition is healthy for business. It is what is needed to help people find alternatives. Not to say handhelds like the Nintendo Switch is bad, but it should not be the primary method to play games with.
The only people keeping this idea that there must be one primary source of gaming on the go, are rabid fanboys who're thick into tribalism that wants to see only one option available.
So I have been using the Fediverse for some time, Started with Mastodon and Lemmy then moved to Kbin for a mix of both as well as features and have finally ended up on Mbin for the Bug Fixes....
Well, I think gaming standards are too low, Harushiro Tsujimoto.
Here's the deal, we keep the game costs where they are, but you need to stop pulling unrealistic ideals to match up to. And you need to stop shitting out bad games just to keep the trademarks alive and other copyrights. Give us GOOD Megaman games, not whatever Megaman Dive is.
We need to go back to the model of where making good games was a key priority. Why have you forgotten this?
Dumb gamer whales will continue fueling it, too blinded by the fact that they're being robbed blind. The same idiots that gamify with WATA on sales. The same idiots that love freemium games and will pay top dollar to keep an advantage.
The continual assembly line of idiots that invest in this, the more likely SC will never be finalized. They know if that they finalize the game, the gravy train ends.
A few days ago we informed you that Quake 2 Remastered appeared in the South Korean age rating system, which could advance an announcement at QuakeCon 2023,
I'm probably some of the few that really didn't see what was so special about Quake II. I guess on a technological level, it's an improvement. But I didn't care for the change of environment and everything was leading towards another redundant aliens (if the Scrogg can even be called that) vs human army game.
I was hoping Quake 1 had gotten the RTX treatment and remaster.
