beebarfbadger,

Cars are useful. Cars protect children in many situations. Cars are among the things that majorly contribute to even having a food supply. Cars freedom patriotism eagles liberty-gasm!

Yet it is still possible to have cars serve those functions without giving in to the lobbies that wish to make it mandatory to get paid for shoving a car down the throat of every loony who wants one to hurt others with. Because cars are well regulated to make them as safe as possible.

FOMO - the game

beebarfbadger,

You now have a one-quest-long window to do these three steps in order otherwise you will never be able to complete this quest line due to missing out on the item that’s only available if you use this specific thingamajig on the other thingamajig in the hidden room. There isn’t any indication of that in the entire game, except that some quest will never ever finish and be stuck on the vague “find x things” stage forever. If you google how to finish the quest in thirty hours of game time, you’re just SoL. Better luck next run.

What exactly is the “role” one is playing here? Diviner? Psychic reading the game dev’s mind?

beebarfbadger,

“People were complaining that I sent them to fetch me a sandwich every five minutes, so we listened to their complaints and next game, the player character will have no legs and thus not be able to move anymore.”

beebarfbadger,

Experience and memory, mostly.

beebarfbadger,

No, it’ll be running THAT cave from DA2 over and over, but this time in different colours!

beebarfbadger,

If you can prove that influencing the testimony was the intention behind it and if you can furthermore prove that he himself did it.

If he says the magic words “nope, the timing and the people benefiting from it were pure coincidences” and “I knew nothing, it was once again that one criminal underling whom I don’t even know despite him having been my fixer for years”, historically he gets away with it with very few exceptions.

beebarfbadger,

Sounds perfect. No better way to boost maternal mortality.

beebarfbadger,

When I toot, it’s neither with my mouth nor my nose.

beebarfbadger,

A Tesla product not optimised for everyday use? Unpossible!

beebarfbadger,

Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree horse.

beebarfbadger,

Oh no, you can’t beat a cybertruck when it comes to safely cutting fingers off.

beebarfbadger,

Never heard the phrase “X marks the spot”? It’s called “predetermined breaking point”.

beebarfbadger,

But how are the corporations then supposed to keep ripping off their wage slaves by making them afraid to ask for more or organise out of some drummed up moral concern? Huh? Didn’t consider that, did ya? Won’t somebody think of the poor, poor corporations?

beebarfbadger,

May update. May not update. Who’s to say?

beebarfbadger,

Absolutely catastrophic mismanagement.

Hard disagree. When the vultures gut and eat the racehorse they just bought, they’re perfectly happy with the outcome.

beebarfbadger,

Rest assured, the ones cultivating the wage slaves do have their regular orgies.

beebarfbadger,

Seats one (1) person. Requires widening of most privately accessible streets.

beebarfbadger,

Yeah, but it’s a straight terrible port from a mobile game with a solid gacha foundation and Baldur’s Gate skins tacked on. Also you need to subscribe and pay a weekly fee to get access to the premium lockboxes that may or may not (spoiler: they do not) give you the characters/skins/whatever that you actually came for. Everything is time-gated unless you pay more of the premium currency to be allowed to grind more for a chance that won’t proc anyway unless you go into debt to buy enough crates.

beebarfbadger,

The potential for the possibility that every time someone is taken apart into their constituent molecules, they simply stop living and upon reconstitution are replaced by an identical copy who thinks they are they while the original character is simply dead.

CIA says whistleblower allegation touted by GOP in Joe Biden impeachment probe is 'false' (www.usatoday.com)

In a blow to House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into the president, the CIA refuted a whistleblower’s allegations that the agency sought to block a federal investigation into President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, on Thursday....

beebarfbadger,

Maybe he threw a roll of toilet paper at someone and called it a day.

beebarfbadger,

Since Goebbels used the phrase “If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear”, then he’d be the one arguing against the right to privacy. The fascist dogma is eroding privacy in favour of surveillance - ostensibly to protect the people, but really just to control them.

beebarfbadger,

And that’s why we must lock every one of our free citizens up. Y’know, for their protection.

beebarfbadger,

I wish “a lot of rubes” were hyperbolic. theguardian.com/…/americans-believe-climate-chang…

Fox & Co are doing a splendid job of growing rubes.

beebarfbadger,

No no no, that’s just “Florida Man”, that’s the one dude you keep hearing about. Florida Georg is a statistical outlier and should not be counted.

beebarfbadger,

How hard is it to just release a game that works?

Harder than delivering shit and cashing in just as much. The grab&run simply is more profitable than actually putting in the work - especially since there seem to be no palpable negative consequences.

beebarfbadger,

a multiplayer game

No.

Not *A * multiplayer game. A multiplayer STAR WARS game. And not just any multiplayer Star Wars game - no, the single best received Star Wars game of its kind in the last two decades, coupled with its prequel… And they estimated around 200 people to play it at launch.

Like.

What.

beebarfbadger,

Wait, wait, wait, wait - Star Trek Discovery is abbreviated as DIS and not STD? Aww.

beebarfbadger,

It looks fine in the context of motion. Just a statue lifting its leg over a chair though…

beebarfbadger,

Third Half-Life 3 DLC likely to launch before GTA6 too.

beebarfbadger,

What’s not to understand: is having sex with or without a condor your preferred option?

beebarfbadger,

“You can either side with the Stormcloaks or the… hey, where are you going?”

[1200 hours later]

“Wait, what was that quest in the journal about again?”

beebarfbadger,

140 gigs required aside the already present installation? Larian really doesn’t like it when I have anything other than BG3 on my hard drive. But I guess it has been weeks since they made me redownload the whole thing. Once again.

beebarfbadger,

I still have the download running from when they made me redownload the whole thing last time.

beebarfbadger,

You won’t find anybody else who does it for $5.

beebarfbadger,

Corporations want gamers to want mass subscriptions because they want to rent out their games forever instead of getting only a single payment for their product. And then they find flimsy excuses to push subscriptions for products that do not warrant subscriptions but are mutilated to squeeze some way of adding subscriptions into them. And then the corporations let games without subscriptions fail while pretending that subscription-based services are delivered because there’s demand and not because they don’t want to deliver finished products that don’t generate easy endless trickling revenue streams.

beebarfbadger,

A month? 2 bucks a month is still somewhere between 2 bucks and infinite bucks, depending on how long you use them, and that is not what seems fair for a mod. Remember when a whole game would cost a finite amount of money rather than a potentially infinite one?

beebarfbadger,

130 GB download for a patch? Guess we’re just redownloading the game every month now.

beebarfbadger,

Yeah, only with my connection, I can pretty much expect the next overhaul to come out just around the time this download is finished.

beebarfbadger,

I totally understand that they wanna get it right before they exit beta. When’s the game gonna release and no longer have to replace all files every two months?

Save corruption?

When will the patches be stable enough that one would -with a reasonable degree of certainty- no longer expect save corruption anymore in the process? Because I will not, can not, do the first couple hours yet again at this point. I may roll another character when things have settled down and any further twiddling will be mostly...

beebarfbadger,

I haven’t encountered any since I deactivated autosaves. Maybe coincidence, but whatever the reason, it’s working.
