I tried to get into PoE1 with my brother and it was nothing but a boring slog of a grind.

PoE2 feels like a fucking game. It's kinda great. The thin white ice things from that one boss (you'll recognize it) was like "Wake up, I'm not a harmless damage sponge!" It feels like I'm playing a game, not trying to get to one at the end.

The controller support at least for melee is also great. Especially after Sony decided the PS5 controller's Bluetooth function should work on PC.

I'm here for nightmares about talking fish.

Danes are the minority we should be abusing.

Look, they were drunk on brunch and beer, okay?

It would be so fitting for the Russians to desire conquest and domination and a show of strength so deeply that when failing to be sufficiently powerful with conventional warfare they would end civilization to not have to accept it. It's the orc state of mind.

That's partly because it's now more important to know what you're doing, than figuring out what you're doing, or just enjoying the fight. Unless you're willing to just tank insults while playing, and rebuild and retry with constant leavers, you have to study. Usually people try, but often they sit back and give in to "experiencing" games through video instead.

WoW for example has almost no tolerance for flawed teammates anywhere anymore, I've seen countless groups that would rather sit outside a dungeon for hours, than be inside it for 15 minutes too long.

And people no longer think "if you want good teammates, you have to build a team", they instead think that everyone who joins the random matchmaker has a responsibility to be good. It's rude to be bad at World of Warcraft.

WoW FEELS super fragmented right now.

I mean, when they finally gave in and released Classic I had no idea they would release 10 different versions of it. But that's mostly a different topic.

The shattered world of the main game is the big problem, cities and raids and events that exist only conditionally, like Undercity and Ny'Alotha with the attatched invasion.

Being able to meet and talk with players you can't trade with or craft for, whether they're Horde while you're Alliance, or they're from an unconnected server to yours. When you tell the latter they can send you a personal crafting order for the sword they keep asking for in Trade Chat, they can't.

And as a Blacksmith/Miner main, I get to experience the shattered state of instanced zoning more regularly, every time I fly out to get ore, with several ore deposits simply disappearing as I approach them or start mining them. I see them from the other side of a fracture in the world. When I cross over, the illusion fades away.

If you don't like the attitude of my comment you're really not gonna like the attitude of New Year's administration.

A lot of people who made themselves dislikable to the childish majority are going to suffer.

This guy ain't selective.

Look at his selection.

I'm Norwegian, I make my own meaty beanless burritos every Friday.

The only good traditional variant is birria. Beanless.
Burritos should be a treat, not a beany staple.

Oh, it's a threat from the left. I was more worried about one from the right.

What the left says can be completely ignored right now.

Beans are sad emergency food.

If I'm in a situation where beans are necessary, I'm awfully desperate and out of options.

 

It is at 361,826 out of 1,000,000 signatures with the remaining trickle after the initial spike nowhere near the pace needed to hit the mark before the 31st of July 2025.

I interpret the state of Ross Scott's SKG campaign like this:
It's pretty clear that democratically speaking, we do not object to companies arbitrarily removing access to purchased video games. Only a minority objects to it.

While it will stay up and get more signatures, there will ultimately be no follow-through to this campaign. The reality is that it's not politically sound, it's not built on a foundation of a real public desire for change. In other words, voters don't want it. You might, but most of your family and friends don't want it.
