Case,

Until people learn the definition of fascism, which… well, I’m in a southern state. Most dipshits support fascism as long as it oppresses the people they don’t like.

Case,

Not to mention, it is entirely possible to get home from work, play, and then realize you are now late for work.

Its just engaging on a level that most modern game’s can’t hope to achieve.

Hell, I’ve installed a game (old), then installed mods, then resolved all the mod issues, then launch it to realize I don’t actually want to play it.

Factorio? Mods are easy, and vanilla is enough to keep someone occupied and happy if they lack internet or something.

Its light weight too, it costs me virtually nothing to install it on anything that can run it.

Case,

I have not, thankfully, worked with too many Lawyers in my adult life.

That being said, I was a child of a government agent. They had a courthouse to fuck put people on trial in house to keep it all quiet.

Lawyers are their for THEM. No one else. I’ve had them spell it out to me as a child because it just seemed evil. For the most part, they are.

Case,

You mean Burma? Cause I dig their take on Buddhism.

What are some eras of gaming that you've stopped feeling nostalgic for? (kbin.social)

As I've gotten older as a player, I have found myself dropping some eras of gaming that I used to be nostalgic for. One of them is the 8-bit era, the NES days. I have played some of the best that system had to offer and I will never say that system didn't have any good games....

Case,

Honestly, I pay for top of line parts. I realize I’m limitiing myself on good games, but…

I paid for this shit, I try to keep top of the line because it is still my hobby (though, my time doesn’t allow anymore) and I want to push my hardware.

Low bit games, however good, don’t get a chance because… god damn, I expect better. I’m a 80s baby, and 90s kid. Nickelodeon early nick toons are my jam.

I paid for it, let me experience it.

I want to PUSH my hardware, and fine tune for play-ability, as expenses allow.

That being said, I love MMOs and realize how hard they can be to “upgrade” for all users… but damn, I don’t have the time or energy anymore. I wish I could raid EQ bosses like I was 13 on summer break, but I fucking can’t.

At the end of the day, I hope creative minds create new paradigms in gaming with limited resources. At this point, it is the only way we will grow. AAA studios make rehashes of former successes, which fail, and no one wants them. Gameplay has died, its been several years, and as an “old-head” (Quest for Glory 1 was my first PC game, with parser prompts) and I miss games. Even those are simple by today’s standard - but they still stand up in a shorter format.

Case,

32% of people are dumb as shit.

This tracks with my personal experiences.

Case,

I will cheat in single player games. I give it a solid “first time” unmodded play through. If it’s good, I’ll do other “paths” or “builds” depending on the game.

Then make it a little more… interesting, or different even.

Then you work up to Total Conversions, and thats fucking great for longevity.

Then at a certain point, its quality of life. I don’t want to spend 20 hours getting to the “interesting” part of the game. I can no longer get even just an hour to dive into a game uninterrupted. I love immersion; in the past it was an unhealthy escape mechanism, now when I get it, its a breath of not dealing with my day to day shit for just a little bit. Life always gets in the way of living, at least the way we want or need to in the moment. But I digress…

But cheating in a multiplayer game really defeats the purpose of multiplayer. An unbalanced play field isn’t fun for anyone.

I’d like to see more games embrace a modding community. If you and a few friends want to play with mods A, B, D, and F, more power to you guys. Keep enjoying that game.

Just don’t force an imbalance on other people.

Case,

Yeah, Dave Stage made that band what it was.

I didn’t get the chance to meet him, but when I was active in the metal community I heard nothing but good things. I guess I should say Drowning Pool was a local band before they blew up.

Case,

I knew a Bubba. Legal first name.

He had a rat tail, of course.

Went to play at his house one day (fourth grade), and it was a typical suburban house. I rode past it on my bike to get to school.

Not a hint of white-trash about the situation.

It still perplexes me.

Case,

I personally dislike the freewheel scroll overall.

Then again, the only time I’m really thinking about what features a mouse has, it’s for gaming so I like a little more precision and tactile feedback.

For everything else I do, a mouse is a mouse.

Unless it’s one of those BS apple ones with no right click. Those make me unreasonably upset.

Case,

The article presumes it’s an issue with nudity or sex.

I don’t see anything from the developer stating that.

My first thought is the first witcher game was clunky as fuck.

They put out a third person action slasher with PG elements.

They built it on the Neverwinter removedhts engine.

It wasn’t made to work like that, at all. So yeah, it’s clunky and outdated.

Case,

I have no idea what that means.

Case,

Waited all summer for the Mexican place in Gardiner to open when I worked in Yellowstone. Gardiner is on the border with the park.

Anyway, myself and two friends, all of us from Texas, were very vocally disappointment. It was so bad. The pizza place was great though.

Case,

See with the leathery skin, I was totally getting a Githyanki/Githzerai vibe.

Case,

Don’t work in medical IT.

It has been literally life and death before.

Case,

You’re not necesarrily wrong, but modders currently have a more difficult time than with Skyrim.

As far as I’m aware, modding tools from Bethesda haven’t been released yet, kinda limiting what people can do.

Not that it can’t be done, its just more difficult and time consuming than using producer built tools. People were modding games before any one put out tools for that purpose. Notepad and a hex editor can get you a long way if you know what you’re doing, at least back then.

I guess I should say this is from the perspective of a PC gamer, primarily. I’ve used consoles in the past, sure, but my last console was an Xbox 360 and before that a PS2.

Case,

As a person who sighs dramatically as a reflex, it doesn’t work in real life like it does for Astarion, lol.

Case,

Everquest, the original.

Two guilds come to mind.

I was younger, too young to work, so one summer break I joined up with a European guild to raid with. Lots of fun, learned a but about British (primarily) culture. Lots of fun, even when I joined another guild I raided with them from time to time.

The other was a family guild. It eventually fell apart as the adults got busier with their careers and kids and shit. But the inner circle, so to speak, were invited to a bulletin board and we all talked for years after that. Eventually lost contact with them as I grew up and got busy with life.

Lots of fond memories, and a couple not so fond (RNG hates me, in every way). But they were along when RNG screwed me time and again, and were always willing to try again. Lots of love for those folks.

Case,

I was more thinking it’s to test the waters.

A buck is affordable to most everyone who has the means to access Twitter.

Of course next year it’ll be Twitter++ subscriptions for 20 bucks a month, as they phase out the 1 dollar tier.

I never cared for Twitter, and watching Musk’s spin on it has been hilarious as someone with a long history in corporate IT.

Pre-edit: At the moment I’m refusing to refer to it by a tween edgelords name~ Musk’s name for it.

Case,

Or Indy, watched the first 3 over the last few nights with the wife.

I’ve never seen 4 and 5, but I’m not hopeful.

I would believe an AI representation of Ford could be used to make 6, etc, after his passing.

Ethics and morals aren’t relevant to CEOs as long as the shareholders are happy.
