Boiglenoight,

So this is the Warning from Mexico I’ve been hearing about.

Boiglenoight,

I think this person means non partisan, because Metal Gear Solid is filled with political intrigue.

Boiglenoight,

Back then I felt like I’d played everything. Fun to learn about games that passed me by.

Mexico is heading towards its most violent election ever, with 30 candidates murdered, 77 threatened and 11 kidnapped (english.elpais.com)

More than 170 attacks have been committed against politicians in the lead-up to the June elections. This violence has put campaigns under tension and is sowing doubts about governability in several regions. Specialists warn that the line between the Mexican state and organized crime is increasingly blurred...

Boiglenoight,

True story: Rambo was pivotal in helping the Mujahideen repel the Soviet Union from Afghanistan. They would later become Al Qaeda.

Boiglenoight,

🎵This how we do-it🎵

Boiglenoight,

I played a lot of Guardian Heroes, Sega Rally, and X-Men: Children of the Atom.

Boiglenoight,

Israel is killing an entire group of people for the actions of a few. In the short term they will be demonized, over generations people may say what choice did they have if not forget what happened altogether.

Boiglenoight,

Israelis seem like natural bullies.

Boiglenoight,

I’ve lost a lot of sympathy and just regard for Israel’s right to exist. I don’t want anyone to suffer, but I could care less if Israel as a political power were to disappear tomorrow if it meant a halt to the indiscriminate killing of people having nothing to do with attacks on Israeli people/territory.

It’s nuts because me 10 years ago would smack current me across the mouth for even thinking such a thing. As things are, Israel is acting like a bunch of nazis. Just crazy.

Boiglenoight,

Ukraine being clearly having the moral high ground as a sovereign state defending itself, yes, expect to be downvoted for trying to contract what we all see with our own eyes.

Boiglenoight,

I was in a gas station around UNC Chapel Hill of all places standing in line behind a couple younger guys who were saying insane things about how Palestine’s not a real state, they’re just migrant squatters and seemed to mock anyone hurt or killed that opposed Israel. They reminded me of ‘Murican’s talking about how strong and right America is, but from the Jewish perspective with Israel in its stead.

It’s hard to describe how sickening it was to hear. And they’re like, 20.

Boiglenoight,

How would it be far worse? And for whom?

Boiglenoight,

Please don’t take it as all Jews just as American morons don’t represent all Americans. My apology, I thought that was obvious.

Boiglenoight,

Russia is just helping those who want to leave leave yes that’s the ticket. The best way to do this is to try to decapitate the country’s leadership with a full scale invasion that includes devastating its infrastructure affecting millions of civilian lives.

Yes

Boiglenoight,

War, with its life and death seriousness, doesn’t leave a lot of room for nuanced arguments. Those are for peacetime. For now it’s simply Russia is the aggressor, Ukraine the defender, and Ukraine represents western democracy in a part of the world that is known for corrupt oligarchs. We back Ukraine not just because it’s right, but sensible. it’s that simple imo.

Boiglenoight,

Boiglenoight,

Valve can be attributed with saving PC gaming. When people were terrified of buying “digital only” games on this fugly client called Steam—which only had Valve games and a few no name indies—the PC gaming shelves in places like Walmart and EB Games looked like a clearance section. Just a hodgepodge of games in no particular order, worn out looking boxes of new games picked up and put back down, meanwhile the PlayStation and Xbox walls flourished and even GameCube got more love from a merchandising standpoint.

Now we trust Valve with our digital libraries the way we’d trust a bank with our money. They’ve earned that trust, and I can’t say the same for Sony or Nintendo which are happy to charge you repeatedly for the same game. Microsoft actually does a pretty good job of making your old games still playable in some form, so Kudos to them.

So will we be surprised when Epic Games Store goes tits up? No. Will we care when we lose all our games? No, they were all free. Should we support Valve as long as they continue to be the champions of PC gaming? You better if you care about where it goes.

Boiglenoight,

I’ve used GoG. It’s good. Never used Itch.

Boiglenoight,

Is it worth playing on PC today? Or should one start with two.

Boiglenoight,

I started playing each game in my library for about 10 min and then moving on. Some games catch me playing longer but otherwise I check them off as played. With recent Steam sales I’d buy 5-6 games, immediately install them all, and play each right away. Feels good man.

Boiglenoight,

Sounds good. Going to buy.

Boiglenoight,

Finishing doesn’t matter. I’ll play something for maybe a few hours and drive on. It fills fulfilling to me. Better than never playing it. 👍

Boiglenoight,

This reply brought to you by the Didn’t Have Kids Gang™️

Boiglenoight,

It’s just a joke, buddy.

Boiglenoight,

I’m not your pal, friend-o!

Boiglenoight,

I’ve been playing since launch. I played a lot last night. I do not see the problems. I play on hard difficulty. I have a good time whether winning or losing.

There are players that take the game far more seriously than I and honestly they make the game more tense than it needs to be. They make it feel competitive, in that if I’m not doing what they think a “good” player should then I’m unwelcome.

I think the vast majority of complaints stem from these players. I lament that another Call of Duty is not coming out sooner so that the community can diminish into relative obscurity, hopefully populated with like minds that view this as a game and not an e-Sport.

Boiglenoight,

I love the flame thrower.

Boiglenoight,

It sounds coy. Money is on crap.

Boiglenoight,

Modern Warfare 1 and 2 were great.

Boiglenoight,

I erased my original reply twice. You’re right, I stopped playing because I found all the cosmetics ridiculous and repulsive.

Boiglenoight,

I had a blast playing with friends and DMZ was refreshing. I wish they’d brought that out of beta.

Boiglenoight,

Fortnite. I was excited for the original game, and amused where it ended up, but it’s not for me.

Boiglenoight,

I mean, the no build mode is ok. The concept of building a fort and defending it Left 4 Dead style, if done right, could be endlessly fun with friends. Each wave would require repairs and more sophisticated builds to take on tougher mobs. But yeah, what Fortnite became never drove me to play it unless friends asked me to.

Boiglenoight,

I never played a Starship Troopers game. Read the book 👍 and saw the movie 👎👎

Boiglenoight,

I’m stuck in 3. Going from 2 to 3 is…tough :)

Boiglenoight,

It feels like they threw Japan’s Hawaii into the mix. And I enjoy the story for sure. That downgrade in graphics, where you can go. When 2 let me enter familiar buildings I was pleasantly surprised.

Boiglenoight,

That sounds wonderful. I’m playing Alan Wake 1 on SD. It looks better on that than my high end PC. Unfortunately I have 3 on PS4.

Boiglenoight,

Man, the SD is amazing. I’ll keep that in mind.

Boiglenoight,

It’s becoming Reddit. Which is what we wanted last year? I know what you mean though. There is a difference between now and then with our community. Probably related to user count?

Boiglenoight,

Toxicity is inexcusable.

Boiglenoight,

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Just because someone chooses to be greedy doesn’t make it right for someone else to be toxic.

Boiglenoight,

I don’t agree. Being better rather than the same is what makes the difference.

Boiglenoight,

I dig it.

Boiglenoight,

Mani bet this plays fine on Steam Deck. I am going to fire this up today.

Boiglenoight,

Steam Deck or GTFO amirite

Boiglenoight,

I picked this up on a Steam Sale and never played. 😓

Boiglenoight,

Love this game so much. If you’re looking for a relatively chill game that makes work fun, this is one of those. Of course, there’s stress points, such as removing rockets that can explode if you don’t act quick enough.

Boiglenoight,

Those were the good ones.
