I didnt say using racial slurs is correct. I said the act of scamming someone is so far removed from the identity of what it means to be human.
I never defended the terminology used in the post. Nor would I use that. Its shallow, and means far less than telling them they aren’t someone capable of receiving any care.
While yes it is absolutely racist, scammers are not capable of having an identity associated with someone who is on par with humanity. They’re far below animals.
I prefer the term “demihuman” or any other dehumanizing language so they know who they are.
Minus the human trafficked ones of course. Only the vast majority who do it willingly.
Edit: let me clarify. I did not say using racist terminology is correct nor justified. I’m saying that people who scam others are so far removed from the identity of humanity and compassion that they do not deserve the light of day, much less the air they breathe.
Oh I get it. Standalone, it’s great. It’s just not what I thought it was. I bought it for one reason, was surprised that it wasn’t what I thought I’d be receiving as a consumer, reflecting, I’d definitely say it’s a good game.
Battle passes/ dailies / loot boxes aren’t really my thing either. I do love roguelikes and the idea of “runs” and it being a sandbox to play in to experiment with builds.
Noita, for example, is probably one of my favorite games of all time. (Also a game I recommend everyone to play and give a good college try.)
Hot take for me: I thought going into Inscryption was going to be a pure deck builder game with a goal of beating the first guy. Then I really enjoyed the deck building in the 2d zone, and wanted so much more of that, but after beating the game, it has next to no replay ability. It turns very ARG centric and to get the whole story required going outside of the game into the “real world” (internet) to learn the rest of the story. It never stuck with me, or striked me right. It felt like I was being led on and thrown into something I didn’t really care about.
I know that they added an infinite mode, but I think that’s just in the first zone, not all of them. .
In any case, the game was just ok, since it’s not the Slay the Spire esque card builder I thought it’d be.
I try, but of course life finds a way to rip whatever savings I’ve got slowly but surely.
Right??
Early Gen Z / very tail end of millennial here.
Got a job that pays ~80k (with promotion potential to 100k in a year) and I’m just… dumbfounded at how yall are making it. I didn’t grow up wealthy at all, and struggled with homelessness for a time, so I’m not new to the frugal game, but being able to put away only a hundred or two bucks a month after taxes is crazy with the hours and time I put into existing. I’d rather just not work at all if the end result is the same.
Doordash is a crux in my life and something I’ve definitely splurged on in the past, but groceries are just as expensive outside of rice beans and chicken. Baffling. :(
I wonder. If it’s anything like the custom options for “home games” in dos2, it might not be super great, but they’ve learned an extraordinary amount since then, so maybe? Hard to tell at this stage.
The game is without a doubt a classic game that will be played by generations to come.
To some extent they likely do. Nobody truly knows their “proprietary engine” other than dedicated modders and bethesda staff.
There’s definitely a level of negotiation that goes on between Microsoft and bethesda, which, outside of their massive titles Skyrim and Fallout, has successful games published (not developed) by Bethesda, like Doom, Deathloop, Dishonored, among others. If Microsoft makes demands, they could backstab the devs of whatever game they make, just like they did to new vegas.
So yeah, I doubt they’d let it happen again.
I work for a very large organization that deals in supporting nonprofit organizations (mainly) in part of a training team. My specific role is administrative support and curriculum development, as well as coordinating overall operations and logistics for one specific team.
As if they’d let that happen.
The last time they let another studio develop something, it blew expectations out of the water and as a result made their game built on their home engine look like hot dog water.
New vegas is by far the beat fallout game, if for no other reason, it’s an actual role playing game, and not an action adventure game.
Right?
Bethesda just released an expansion for fallout 76. It’s a game that I’m fairly fond of, considering the amount of dislike I have for fallout 4, it improved on it in every way from the worldbuilding to building to the story, I could go on, point is, I like it.
The new expansion, the first map expansion and like 20 major updates in.
The new map is quite a large region. You’d expect a few side quests to unlock these other locations. Maybe some hidden gems. Maybe some cool NPCs outside of the main “expansion” right?
Its literally: A main quest that’s short (beat it in like 3 hours on the first day it dropped)
A single side quest that’s more of an optional objective on the main quest
A single new event
A single new boss.
Four things they added. Two of which can only be done once (bad formula for a game designed around repeating similar tasks)
They’ve just straight up gotten bad. There’s no love in their products anymore. It’s all taking the easiest way out, lacking any amount of real creativity.
I just want them to migrate from their shitty proprietary engine, buckle down on a good story and prioritizing fun.
Such a good game. Especially if you get a multiplayer game of people with different logistical strengths.
Its a one party system in a two party costume.
It could be fixed. Just a societal collapse or two will put the economy right back in its rightful place!
The ground.
Finding Nemo
Lion king
Tarzan
It’s not like I’m infinitely well read either. Never read Kafka, or 80% of must read authors.
Mmo brain rot
Yes. Which is why there’s so much speculation about the fallout rights being given back to Obsidian for more.
I wouldn’t mind west coast to be taken by obsidian and east coast by beth tbh.
My entire extended friend group has refunded. It hurts em
Really it breaks f4se which is the script extender for mods.
And it takes me sometimes 45 seconds to a minute to load when returning to the Commonwealth or large buildings like the library or institute.
I’d imagine about 600 pages of beaurocratic law which has several addendums that nullify the definition entirely.
I’m a bit lost. I didn’t justify using racist terms. I’m saying that scammers lack the core traits of humanity, compassion and care in others.
And they don’t deserve anything, let alone feeling comfortable in a conversation, or the air they breathe.
That is regardless of race, sex, gender. If you scam someone else, you don’t deserve life.
