  • This is what witcher 3 did best imo.

    It’s open world, and it feels large… But it’s not actually that large when you think about it.

    And the side areas are so rich and dense that you can do quests from a random hub, some that chain on for quite a while… And then realise this whole time that you haven’t actually done any of the main story.

    I was excited to learn more about certain monsters in the bestiary, what oils and elements they were weak to etc.




  • And a lot of people who “voted for facism” are just average citizens who don’t look to deeply into politics (either don’t care, understand, or have time/energy) and just bought the right wing lie of “fix economy, gib jobs, lower fuel price, tough on crime” etc. And went with that.

    Yeah, some of the voters are straight up facist, but people here are being too hard on people who’s time and energy is squashed by the hyper capitalist machine and are surrounded by propaganda







  • Also “so and so fears for their life” is such a nothing story. It doesn’t tell you if it’s a legitimate concern, or why.

    I “fear for my life” each time I fly. Despite knowing that the chances of dying while flying being significantly less than driving… Where I don’t.

    I realise this network is just a propaganda machine, so the point is just to make people irrationally angry and scared of “the enemy”. But it’s so frustrating to see then get away with it so brazenly





  • As much as certain people like to proclaim reviewers are paid shills or sycophants, especially whenever a movie with diversity cast does well… The audience metric is nigh on useless half of the time.

    Look at that Melania movies critic and audience score. Then see a genuinely great movie with some non white person cast in a main role get review bombed to hell and back by the same people



  • I imagine what they mean is that, in the future, GoG does what seemingly every other successful company that has “good morals” does when they get rich and famous… Renegs for more $$$

    See Netflix “we’ll never have ads” and using sharing accounts as a promotional tool. And Googles “do no evil”. Etc.

    Obviously they can’t undo your ability to install what you already have, but they could prevent you doing it in the future.
