Here’s to a multi-year long process to port the campaigns from BG1 and 2 into 3.

Disco Elysium, which plays really well on deck even with very low TDP, great for long lazy days.

Not only that, he’s “monopolizing” a slot by sharing it with 2 excellent picks for pushes (Big Bill and Bryan Keith) and having good-to-great matches where he leaves space for others to do their thing.

I get that people have internet brain and have ulterior reasons to hate the man but as an older wrestler he knows his place and he’s doing well in it.

He’s at least trying to elevate people, and he’s crucially not trying to pull rank and demand championships when his bones are made of real glass.

He’s still got ok ring skills if he paces himself and he’s still as great at coming up with gimmicks as he’s ever been, this is the best way to use him IMO. Surround him with younger people who can benefit from the exposure and make them the focus.

Oh yeah, happily wrong. And the match is gonna be a banger, too.

After leaving wwe she had like, 1 date with RoH in her home town because she’s friends with Shafir, that was it.

For her sake I hope she invested and spent her money wisely, I don’t see a gravy train coming anytime soon.

I mean, would you? It looks like the most generic checklist driven product I’ve seen yet.

It’s so spineless it may be more lobster than game.

Both of your points are only partially correct.

I think we can state as a truth that they have less potential profit.

Wrong, they just take less effort and have a more constant revenue stream.

Potential for profit means nothing, when so many attempts at milkable forever games end up like Suicide Squad or Concord.

Also you can come into them half baked and pull the plug if the game doesn’t sell (because it’s half baked) like they’re doing with SS and they did with the Avengers game.

They spend more money.

They don’t, you can’t spend money you don’t have, whales are working adults.

Kids spend money for less. Better ROI, not higher payoff.

You make the 18302nd skin and troves of kids will badger their parents for fortnite bucks so they can buy it but not everyone will. The upside is that making a skin costs you single digits percent points of the profits, so even if one or two are a dud, you’re fine, the good ones will make up for it.

It’s a business model you can throw money at once the game’s got an audience base, which is very attractive to companies, because it’s uncomplicated and reliable.

If anyone’s got a code they’re not using I’d happily take it off their hands 😇

Henry and Hans are going on a lads holiday. Awesome.

Maybe it was a triple bluff: make a terrible AMA to market a mediocre comic, to make the sandy hook thing come up again so she can apologise publicly and get a bunch of brownie points and signal boost her comic’s kickstarter.

(It wasn’t, but I bet they wish it was)

It rings a bit self absorbed with trying to explain herself initially but overall she’s at least made it very clear she’s unreservedly apologising for the action and that she knows she fucked up and what exactly the fuckup was, which is the checklist of a good apology.

8/10 as apologies go, assuming it’s genuine, otherwise she’s got a great PR team.

Of course, just because there’s an audience doesn’t mean you’re pandering to it.

Fundamentally, integrity is an internal concept.

Only you can know if you have it, because only you can truly know your motivations.

As long as your moral choices are truly based on your own principles and you would do the same regardless of observation, then you have integrity.

External factors can only give you reasons to pretend you have integrity, but they can’t prevent you genuinely having it.

I actually almost only get board games I’m hype about from KS these days, that’s how I know.

Board game fighting game BattleCon for instance, which I heartily recommend.

Given the fact that neither side demonized him, this may be one of the few cases of actual “mentally unstable lone wolf” with no sane or reasonable motive.

Kickstarter is largely used to market and gage interest while setting up a very early preorder list.

Almost no media project is actually funded solely through Kickstarter anymore, especially not for physical media like comics or board games.

How big do you think my ass is?!

Is there a preferred metric to measure this by?

For the sake of my asscheeks’ preservation, I’d say “if in ~20 years (that’s how long it’s been, god I feel old) it’s regarded with the same high praise and fondness as Bloodlines.”

Preferred by me of course.

But honestly, I’m definitely going to at least pirate and play it, and I’m a man of principle, so I’ll own it if i think I was wrong.

Your word picture is just so funny that I want to root for the game’s success just to be the person that quotes this comment and @s you, even if I tend to agree with your assessment.

Nobody ever spares a thought for my asscheeks! Everyone just wants to see me fail! Assless and suffering! But I’ll show you!

They could be your favourite football team, too, that still doesn’t fill me with confidence on their level of preparation for this.

Bloodlines was an extremely ambitious mix of immersive sim and RPG, in the same vein as early Deus Ex, TCR’s most gameplay heavy game has an ineffective monster that takes several seconds to kill you and myst style puzzles.

There’s a mismatch in milieus here.

Oh god what a sloppy fucking throw.

Moron.

Love how her reaction is to look at him like you look at a toddler who just chucked a handful of spaghetti at a wall. What a trooper.

Don’t be, this game won’t quietly peep its way into obscurity, it will be an uproarious fart all the way across the halls of the internet.

If it even does, it will come out and literally nobody will like it because a) it has an impossibly high bar to clear even in the hands of competent devs and b) it’s been made by walking sim developers as their first attempt at a real game with gameplay beyond simple puzzles.

I will literally slice off my own asscheeks, cure them into honey glazed ham, and serve them on rye if it comes out as anything resembling the success of the first.
