MS can't keep their own games a secret, you think they'd be able to keep a lid on shit like that?

Quite, they do a million things as MS.

I kinda feel bad for Mike Ybarra... he left a quiet, stable job at Xbox to jump into that dumpster fire.

MS could also be a dumpster fire, who knows?

You'll meet your end soon enough.

It can't? Have you ever tried a spudplug? 

Not yet but I hear it's illegal.

Look, there's a potato surplus and it can't go up your butt. Pick your poison.

Thanks for the suggestions. Weighing cruelty squad against a random gog.com stack for my weekend purchase

So no more ubi on steam?

It's too bad that guy who did the skyrim mod videos went patreon only because I'm sure he had some good insight into this.

Is the reticence to paid leave a cudgel at those with neet kids? Like single payer healthcare would bare so many wounds.

Immersive sims are great. Although I feel suffer from an unfair from where the grandfather and subsequent developers of this time of genre were and are. This is probably bloviating, But recall a game call millennia:altered destines. It's a beat the foozle game, but you are all but a caretaker in player agency.

Sega was wild at time wrestling with arcade and the burgeoning console style. I fell in love with many of their arcade games at the time (woo 60fps). The schism and dynamism of two very different determinants was focal. More to a recent point lore logs are not how I find myself through life. I talk to people, hear things, learn streets. Weird wasn't right. Like the Half Life idea in a smothering form (haven't tried alyx yet).

I mean I play plenty of random itch.io shit. But the current modal relegates them to a corner.I mean you literally fought houses and lettucerabbits in old final fantasies. It's fine to diverge stylistically, but the top crust that wants the crown could not be more far than what cinema churns. I'm not making this about low or high art, both specttrums gain from the same things. Gaming is a medium afforded by gimmicks, like film was. Whatever it has it's sights set to is a choice.

Remember playing Tomb Raider back in the day, what the fuck were the flesh monsters at the end? Or scrolling through Metroid, gliding past bubble platforms. At those points in gaming there was scant ways for the developer to communicate their intent with the player. And even if they did aim for strange, what difference is it? I guess the uneasiness of youth is a part, But batshit gave way to pretty I feel. Gaming was best for me when I felt like I was dropped in the middle of nowhere, and had to scrutinize anything and everything. It's the best part of immersion for me.

I get the gist and recognize the failure of the system. But this is a machine that eats it's people, along with others. There's a psychotic dissonance when fictional media colours a people this much.

How does anyone tolerate this? It's theater for theater's sake. I cannot come to inform myself that somehow in the larger quantity of human history civics is just this incompetent.

More to the point that I am an ethnic south korean with a verbose family.

Our history of capitalism is a little different from yours.

Not seeing it. Me and I are having a great time.

There's the truth that every generation thinks they invented everything. Everyday people tend to be myopic of historical intersection with the state of the present. The West is particularly susceptible since the reason for much of it's plenty is given no real introspection, often gliding from hot talking point to the next. If corona has changed the world at all, I hope it's for people to realize that nothing is immutable, and the race of evolution is hardly over. And as such everything is on the table.
