    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I have good public employment insurance (I've been told). My insurance covers a free checkup per year, where my doctor will ask if I have any complaints. If I say no, I'm out the door. If I want tests or labs or even longer than a 20 minute appointment I pay the normal price and the word...

    We like it. Chunks but also a bit blendered in. Pumpkin is good with red and massaman. Butternut good with all imo. Butternut is weird because as you add spicy it gets sweeter sorta too, ends up being surprisingly complex.

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    But what's the point? I guess to play older games one already owns? Series X seems underpowered to try to pretend it's a direct PC competitor? I'd love if they sold an Xbox that was more a higher prebuilt PC that was more open to mods and Steam, but as is I'm not sure I see the point.

    Came home to curry yesterday which was a nice coincidence. Butternut squash curry is almost my favorite now.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Accusing someone of knowing nothing about a game, but bandwagoning to do what exactly? What's more likely, whatever weird conspiracy theory in your mind about people out to undermine the game for some unspecified resson, or someone like me on a game forum looking into a game I was interested...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Because it's not directly about the existence of the cash shop, but how it was handled. And then the "I don't understand why gamers are annoyed, must be retards or a conspiracy" reaction from the people who seem to not mind defending a giant gaming corporation as long as they get something at...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    That sucks. I read about that bug, but was on Reddit so I assumed it was disinformation. Would be nice if you could mess around on a second slave slot in the mean time, or even just easily restart your game. Good news is if you have to fight and kill all the NPCs at least performance will...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    First, I'm not calling everyone NPCs. I quoted someone directly and then referenced specific behavior, noting it was a weird thing I kept seeing over and over on places like Reddit. So, no need to generalize to try to, what, I don't know, some kind of blanket general dismissal of what I...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    The main encounter system in Dragon's Dogma 2 is actually good because the side stuff in Elden Ring was sometimes "garbage" is an interesting cope. Dragons Dogma 2 heavily touted interesting and challenging exploration. A lot of people seem to be saying that exploration is a bit basic and...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    One of the reasons I waited. Among all the distractions and deflection and noise the game just sounded a bit mid. One review I read made it sound like the "exploration" was just running from one point to another an having randomized groups of mobs attack every minute (like he was timing it hah)...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Why do people think accusing someone of not playing the game is some big gotcha for things that don't require playing the game? It's the lame gamer version of idiots who say you can't have opinions on politics unless you voted or can't criticize their shit kids if you don't have kids yourself...

    Uhuh. Sure. Don't make an argument. Don't make a point. Don't ignore me or the topic, which is perfectly respectable since most people are probably just playing the game or not. Instead: Lash out. Does that ease your dissonance? If so, I'm envious.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Is anyone seeking to confirm this? Several sources have said the consumable is also available. Easy thing would be to simply confirm the information.... Instead of agreeing with people on a Internet message board as you condemn internet social media and claim things are disinformation. Keeping...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    You haven't bought the game? I have it on good authority you shouldn't be allowed an opinion on the game. Reported! The idea you're rationalizing buying the game because you think it'll somehow piss people off? What in the fuck? Who do you think gives a shit? LOL, but actually kinda sad. I'll...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Again, notice the inability to address a concern many players seem to have in favor of addressing the concern one wants to presume they have because there is a preloaded dismissal. The actual, underlying concern is the game launched with confusing or underhanded decisions that seemed to go...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    And the DD2 situation isn't as simple as represented as just fast travel, no biggie. The game director literally did the "travel should be meaningful" meme and represented a design philosophy justifying limited fast travel saying DD2 travel was going to be fun and worth the time and challenge...

    Yeah, he shoulda known better, and probably would in the current political climate. Always wiser to run a business lean, but also keep in mind the extravagant spending and employee perks seemed pretty typical in the game industry at the time, or were higher than average but praised. And the...

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    Blast from the past. Still makes me wonder.... I mean a prominent theme was that Curt was so corrupt and incompetent that local government had to step in and save the day. Conveniently around an election and change of party. And I remember getting a lot of pushback with my implications the...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    The problem is confusion and/or incompetence. They launched a game where they didn't discuss a cash shop, nor did the early access streamers and such. Then on launch there's a cash shop with items that seem like it should just be a part of any base game, like changing your character. Leading...

    Please consider that you could stop being a pearl clutching faggot pretending nobody is allowed to discuss a game directly or the indirect situation of a shoddy game release unless one plays a game that barely just released. I'm a consumer looking for information on a game to decide if wanted...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    If you don't want to read discussion of the game or discussion of discussion of the game feel free to take the high road by just ignoring it, not then discussing how you don't want discussion by discussing the thing you don't want discussed. Additionally, not replying to anyone or any post in...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Yeah, the problem is social media exists, not that retard spastic tryhards like you have always existed. Nobody has said shit that others shouldn't like the game or have fun. Or that they even think the game itself is bad because the business model is shit. Nobody that I've seen here has...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Maybe the game would have had a chance to be better with less people with your perspective that others should just shut up and consoom? Everyone is noticing the dissonance and discord in everything these days. Its fascinating watching the vastly different ways people try to cope with it...

    Then you don't understand resource allocation or business. If micro transactions somehow occured spontaneously and independent of a game's development or a studio's business plan then you'd be very wise to ignore something you don't personally care about. It doesn't mean nothing or they wouldn't...

    People whining about cash shop items are so lame that in your mind their existance magically fixed well documented performance issue? That's a helluva take. You know a game has issues when the threads are this hilarious.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I've very clearly been openly talking about how I haven't played the game and am responding to things I'm seeing in reviews and posts and asking questions, and your big gotcha is accusing me of doing the, uhhhhh, thing I've openly been doing? And I'm just very angry and looking for things to cry...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    The counter argument is the game was developed independently of anything to do with such items and just decided to slap on a cash shop in at the last minute for the heck of it even though it's all pointless items of no advantage and gamers are at fault for not assuming that would happen even if...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    My favorite argument is that the things a gaming corporation is doing as conscious business decisions are no big deal because they're actually pointless things to be doing. Well, golly, they're just wasting time and resources on pointless business decisions and/or they don't even understand...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    That's a pretty weak dismissal. Fans of the franchise who have been listening to the stated design philosophy of the current game and team are now dismissed as irrelevant because the original game is 12 years old? Huh? The current team apparently didn't seem to adequately express their...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Nothing is rarely about what is done, but how and why. It seems a lot of long time fans and followers of the game aren't so upset about mtx existing necessarily, but that it seems like a bait and switch to the design philosophy and was kept secret. Doubt most would be surprised or bothered if...

    Just a bunch of broke incels who can't stand to see other people having fun playing a game. Please make your purchase immediately, citizen. These seem to be the big ones: Bad performance. Awkward save files making it not easy to even restart a character. Cash shop that wasn't disclosed even to...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I was pretty underwhelmed with the rogue combat and class generally in the open demo, and it was described often as one of the better ones. Maybe it was "fine" but it didn't feel at all like it was so well done all the other, more obviously lacking aspects were an acceptable tradeoff. Won't...

    Sure, friend. Feel free to engage in a calm and rational discussion of the issue and not succumb to the outrage, perceived or otherwise. Or please explain the relevance of providing a "yeah, but" defense of a practice you acknowledge is stupid and shouldn't exist. I'll try to hear you out and...

    Ah, cool, so they burned good will and spent dev time and attention to implement unnecessary things that may make their customers feel like idiots. That's better than a meaningful pay to win shop.
