I always considered Birth by Sleep to be the last good entry to the series. Admittedly I never played the actual game of 358/2 and only got the cinematic version from the collection.

I was a massive fan of 1 and 2 as a kid and did a full series playthrough prior to the release of 3. I had a blast through BBS, but my god it was a slough in the later games(including 3).

He might be legally pseudo protected by twitch having minimum age requirements.

Unless it was a few very specific US states, this isn’t really relevant. The minimum age to sign up for an account on Twitch is 13.

I understand being frustrated with f2p shenanigans and microtransactions, but I think that frustration is blinding you to some of the bigger picture issues at play. I agree that microtransactions are a problem, but honestly fps games are one of the few genres where I would say a f2p and live-service model actually makes the most sense.

Before the prevalence of battle passes most games followed the CoD model where a new game would be released every year or two and you would be forced to buy it because the player population of the older game would die off drastically. With live-service it allows the dev to still update games and gives players a reason to keep coming back every season to keep playing a game. An fps game is only as healthy as how large and diverse in terms of skill range its player population has.

I’m also excited for Deadlock though. It will hopefully keep doing everything right that Battleborne failed at and looks really fun.

You kind of just explained exactly why the game failed without realizing it. You’re exhausted and bored with the genre as a whole and a new flavor of the same games that already exist isn’t innovative enough to entice new players. We’ve seen a long line of hero shooters that were dead on arrival because they have nothing new to offer and Concord is no different.

It released in a saturated market with better and more mature options already available, for free. They also barely marketed the game at all. I don’t know how any of this can be a surprise.

The user above is wrong. Blocking is only one-directional and you won’t see comments and posts from them any longer, but they still see the things you posts.

Let me know how your back feels in the morning

I think a lot of the capitulation you’re seeing is just the cascading aftereffects of the ramping up of migrant shipping policies from the southern border states(or just Texas I guess). The scale of that kind of forced some form of reaction outside the norm.

Sorry :( but if you can interchange the right side panels and nothing changes with the messaging it kind of doesn’t land well.

Nothing has foundationally changed with the DNC position over this time period. There was no “Chad” period where they actually fought back and have always rolled over for immigration fearmongering.

It’s also just not a good meme, which is why I personally downvoted.

Stop it. Executives don’t understand sarcasm and you’ve doomed us all!

The key is to know which rules to break with which customer though. That’s the hard part.

You’d be better suited just having a user select that they are comfortable dating a trans individual because it will likely come up very early in the dating process anyway.

Forcing someone to identify as a gender that doesn’t make them comfortable is just going to result in them not using your app and is frankly kind of a dick move overall. Your suggestion would just create an app that was suited for chasers, not trans users.

Normally I’m not one to even entertain the thought of commenting on a political thread, but I feel it would be disingenuous to click the button without any feedback in this case. This decision leaves me with a large enough lack of confidence in the future moderation of this community(especially given we’re in an election year) such that I can’t in good faith leave it on my feed and I will be blocking this comm after this comment.

While I agree that Ozma deserved a ban for spam, the justification used for this is frankly appalling. Misrepresentation of bias as bad-faith, especially with the admission that largely good sources were used is unacceptable.

I’m on Jerboa and I’ve never once seen this issue. The post you linked properly loads the image and all comments. The only time I’ve come close to seeing the message you link is if it’s pointing to a banned/deleted user or comm.

I have that exact same hat. It pains me to say that your dog looks better in it than me.

I definitely thought this was referring to Columbia University until I read the article 😅

These things are usually telegraphed beforehand so they can gauge public reaction and adjust if necessary.

Rulings aren’t adjusted based on public sentiment; That’s not how the court functions. You can generally speculate with reasonable accuracy on each judges position even prior to arguments for a case and arguments give a clearer public affirmation as to their thoughts on the manner.

I don’t think it’s too early to be mad about the courts potentially legalizing presidential murder.

Presidents have been authorizing legalized murder since the country’s inception. All this ruling will do is create a legally distinct definition between state actions and personal actions. This article is just ragebait.

A ruling hasn’t been issued yet as far as I can tell. This is just an emotional and editorial piece based on the Trump immunity case arguments. It’s too early to be mad yet.

I played the game a lot as a wee lad, but I genuinely cannot fathom how people still play GMS these days. Every few years I’ll play for a few weeks on a private server for nostalgias sake. I’m quickly reminded why I stopped playing in the first place though.
