Yeah, that didn't take long. It's an industry that rewards itself for its own accomplishments. They can't have the unwashed masses interjecting their peasant thoughts into their esteemed event.

It's Mike Pence, unless I'm wrong, which I'm not...unless I am. That's who I think it is. You know who I hope it is? Donald Trump, because then it would prove to me that he's truly capable of 3D chess and just might be the genius he always claimed to be. But that's giving him way too much credit to even imagine he'd be that awesome when we know he's not. So, it's Pence.

Just wanted to say that I spent some serious time in the game not too long ago, and I had two responses to whether or not you should play this game. 1. I'm not sure what the original release game was like, but it's really a lot of fun right now, and it's deeply immersive. My one problem in the first few days of playing the game was that the universe really felt lonely. Then I started finding random vendors and space people on the planets that kind of helped me realize I wasn't alone, but they were always aliens, and my understanding of their knowledge was horridly bad, no matter how many words I learned. I get the impression that you literally have to learn the entire vocabulary of an alien language to even understand a fraction of their language. Part of me thinks that could take months of playing. I'd probably learn their language quicker if there was a Berlitz training manual somewhere outside of the game (the ones that actually teach you real world languages in the real world). But there's a lot of detail and a lot of nuance throughout the game. I could have probably played this forever. Except 2. They haven't fixed some of the bugs that have been around since release. The last one I experienced basically ended the game for me completely. I managed to get a freighter (from saving an allied species ship during combat) and got onto it. And then my interface went stupid. I couldn't get off the ship, and I couldn't do anything in the ship. It was like I had clicked camera mode in any other game and just couldn't get out of it. And at this point, it had been a very long time since I was able to previously save the game. The game tells you that it saved the game when you get onto the freighter, but it doesn't actually do that. It just tells you it did. Only way to have saved it would have been back on a planet. That was a LONG TIME AGO. I could have gone back to one of those saves hours and hours ago, and when I did, I just didn't feel like doing all that again and hope that 90 percent of the random things that happened would lead me to this wonderful point in the game. And when I tried to do that, it just went bad. So I relogged again. And it went worse. So, I signed out, commented on the boards, realized that a bunch of people had made this same complaint YEARS ago, and then just decided I wouldn't be signing back on again.

Strangely enough, the bad reviews on Steam (more than I expected) have been that the game plays a lot like a demo throughout it, with a need for features to be implemented still. The complaints are coming as players get through a good portion of the game where they start making those types of complaints. Read a few claims that some of the early positive reviews were from people who played the demo, and now that people have played the game in detail, they think the real game plays too much like a demo (or as a few have pointed out): A tutorial.

Sorry to hear that. Hope she gets well.

I played BDO when it first came out, and I quickly realized it was moving towards P2w, so I just stopped playing. I'm already starting to future mourn for Eve Online, even though I never successfully got into it myself.

I honestly really never liked Civ VI. It seemed like they tried too hard to add a bunch of stuff to the game that made it feel really micromanaging rather than fun. Recently, I bought the full package of Civ V (which I didn't like when it first came out) and started running it, and I've been finding it actually a lot of fun. Wonder if the same thing will happen to Civ VI after they fuck up Civ VII one day?

To use Bing, he has to have a computer that runs something Microsoft makes. His computer is so old that Windows hasn't been invented on it yet. He's literally running AskJeeves as his search engine in his Netscape browser.

So, it's using Minion? Pretty sure that was the one I was using before I left. Did I get that right?

For those playing this now, where are you installing your addons these days. I just decided to play it again for a few months (and see if it latches me into staying) but I've been antsy for any game right now, so may as well go back to one I always keep going back to. But realizing I'm going to need mods, so what mod control are you using these days?

As I wasn't fond of Monster Hunter World, I am trying out Empyrion - Galactic Survival. It had really good ratings on Steam, and I love me a space/survival type game (kind of why I was playing No Man's Sky before a bug basically ended the game for me). Played it a few hours last night, and can say that the beginning is a bit unforgiving. Got bit by poison, and I couldn't find herbs to make a poison andidote, so eventually I just died. Not a fan of how poison just NEVER runs out or runs its course. It was amazing how so much of the map had everything but plants with herbal leaves. Story of my life.

My first run through it, I'm not sure I'm cut out for this game. It was just in the beginning battles, but I literally can't turn around during a fight, which means, I'm slamming at empty air in front of me while dinosaurs are eating me from behind. Figuring out the process to turn around during a fight seems like some kind of weird rocket science. And potions? Got zero clue how that works. Died with a bunch of potions in my inventory and me pressing buttons that seemed like they should have drank them but never did. I'm suspecting a lot of these problems come from it being a port because it's choosing some weird mapping process that I don't understand, and when I tried to remap, kind of gave up trying to figure it out.

I'm little_sarbonn on Steam (assuming you play through there). Just bought it and will start trying it out today.

I was playing No Man's Sky, and it was pretty good with all of the updates they finally did. But then I hit a game breaking bug and just said screw it, I'm done. Now, I need to find another game. Like right this instant because I have a whole weekend and nothing to play. This is crisis mode right now. I may not make it.

So, my main mission isn't the "you detect a signal from a ruin on another planet" mission that's been active the whole time I was on the first planet?

I held off on playing No Man's Sky when it first came out because I don't trust hype, and then because it turned out I was right to not trust hype. Anyway, fast forward two years to now, and the game has received some really good reviews from players. So, I bought it and started playing. It's a really interesting game. It plays like a survival game in the beginning, and then you build up the stuff you need to fly your ship into space and then you, well, go into space. First, the universe is huge. I've seen two planets so far. And a space station that I found last night. I imagine there's a whole lot more that I haven't seen so far. So yeah, the universe is freaking huge. And there are things to do. People give me quests, and I do them. Usually, it's tag something or kill something, or go somewhere and do something, but it's a lot more interesting than some games that have way more fedex missions than they should. The graphics are excellent. The different ways to travel are interesting, ranging from running across the terrain to really fun dune buggy vehicles that jump all over the terrain like dune buggies do. There is a sense of mystery within the game, too, meaning it's a story driven thing that you start on a path towards solving. You have to learn the languages of the people you meet (which takes a lot of time as you learn it word by word), and some alien encounters can be a bit baffling (but not in a bad way). My only complaints so far involve how complex the handling of a ship is, the lack of a directional system (it has an interstellar map for areas close to you but I have yet to be able to figure out how to match it with what I'm doing in space at that moment), there's no planetary map, and I suspect this last one is just a problem I'm having that probably has a solution, but travel between solar systems (when you can finally do it) took me 25 minutes of holding the target in site and pressing pulse engine the entire time. I have to believe there's a better system in place I can't find. Also, the mapped buttons (and the options menu that shows it) doesn't tell you how to open your inventory. Took me 2 hours to discover it was the TAB key. Even went on every web site I could find, searching for an answer, and all I found were people asking questions of "where is the inventory key"on the PC" version" and almost every answer was an Xbox explanation or a PS4 explanation. But for a seasoned lego spaceman, I think I might find many hours of pleasure, and frustration, with this game.

It's my bad. I'm playing No Man's Sky, and I really haven't got the hang of things. I keep pressing my radio transmit button instead of pulse engine. I don't go anywhere but for some reason everyone becomes immediately aware of it.

Wait? It's going to lead to the girl from Mad Men wearing a weird outfit with a dog funnel?

I know it's easy to joke about, but I seriously believe it could lead to some pretty horrible shit, if it's not challenged. Which it won't be until it leads to some horrible shit.

If there's a bias, the other side can protest to the judge, and in some cases (not often), the judge will disqualify the juror. They usually have two alternate jurors that have been there for the case that immediately can take that spot.

My point is that people make mistakes in their lives. This is a country where we allow ex-felons to be elected for office and constantly give really bad people a second, third and fourth chance. Why is Twitter suddenly the end all of someone's career and life? Again, if it's consistent behavior, I'm fine with backlash. But right now we have Internet trolls combing through EVERYTHING someone they disagree with has said on Twitter since its inception. To me, that's going a bit too far to seek "justice".

You know, the more I think about this story, the more upset I become. For years, I was a counterintelligence agent working for our country, and I eagerly awaited the beautiful Russian spy to seduce me. And she never did. Instead, all I got to deal with were old, Russian dudes and random, unattractive people. I seriously got cheated, and I want a redo.

Seriously, companies need to treat Twitter as "untouchable" because people say really, really stupid shit on Twitter. That sort of stuff shouldn't come back to haunt people, no matter how stupid and shitty it is. People go through periods of saying really stupid stuff because of the circumstances that were happening at that particular time. If I'm going through a horrible break up with a girl, chances are I might turn pretty negative towards women in general (I don't usually, but I can see it happening with someone who might). Twitter is one of those "this is how I'm feeling right this moment" platforms. Hell, I've made blog posts in the past that I probably don't stand behind today. We're hitting a very dangerous period in time where everything anyone says ever is now being treated as ammo to destroy someone's life. If you're consistent in hate speech, then yes, that's an issue. If you said one stupid thing once ten years ago, backlash is going to destroy a lot of every day people.

Yeah, I'm so used to a KB/M. I was looking to see if there was one made for the Xbox One, but mostly what I found was stuff that allowed you to type in chat, and for those that appeared to be what I was looking for seemed to have really bad reviews from users, indicating that they don't work very well.

Then it's too late. You die. I prefer the Monty Python method of dealing with adversaries (they used to publish a book of humor that had ads in it, and one of them was a "did someone kick dirt in your face" response of): There's no way to know if someone is going to be a threat to you, so you are totally within your rights to immediately kill anyone you come across because the situation might escalate faster than you can handle.
