I burned out on it so hard because I never got the hang of the dodge and parry mechanics. It’s a shame too, it has so much else going for it

This has been a thorn in my side at least as far back as Windows 8, and the LLM craze has only thrown jet fuel on the damn fire

EDIT: I don’t have to deal with kids that much but I’ve noticed that it’s wrapped around to affecting older adults and that’s maybe worse since they’re the same generation as the politicians making decisions for all of us involving technology

Indeed. I had to remind people that this was the actual third/fourth act of a flagship title and I was among the many people who took it very seriously because it “changed gaming forever, it was art!”

I mean, I still love Metal Gear Solid, but we have to be able to see it with some objectivity

They’re critical of Marx precisely because it’s that scary to face the truth of alienation. I grew up in a household run by idiot centrist boomers who still can’t grasp this concept. They see the fact that I still struggle into my 40’s as a moral failing while I have been floundering through over two decades of being used up and underpaid. I’m literally in tech right now, making effectively the same amount of money that I brought home sweating in crowded kitchens but it is somehow my fault for… Not asking strongly enough to get paid more?

I don’t know, I guess what I’m trying to say is I feel for these kids because I definitely would have been primed to rely on chatbots for emotional support if I was born into their generation. This is a systemic problem that I fear no one will ever face in a meaningful way

Out in the streets, they call it MURDER! … But I saw nothing, because today is a terrible day to have eyes

That “medical research” as far as I can tell is hallucinating serious illnesses into diagnostic data so the insurance companies have even more reasons to deny care

There may be legitimate uses beyond that, but yet again this system built on greed that rewards genuinely psychopathic behavior is exactly the wrong sort of environment to foster this level of adoption

Looks like it

I like yours better than my suggestion because it has a sort of “Home Alone in Space” vibe to it!

The following is a reference and spoiler for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Easy!

Interesting parallel, there. His supporters will likely defend both

Oh hell yeah. Railroad commissioner indeed matters, I haven’t forgotten what happened in Ohio

For real?!

Awesome news, I live in the Northeast but hearing about even half of the awful things about such a vile man, feels good to know he’s gone

Exactly my take.
I’m vicariously happy for anyone from the generations after mine getting into Ocarina of Time for their first playthrough, but I’m personally more interested in getting the decomps to work and reliving my favorite Christmas present on my own terms

Hands are too tiny for the pistol

At least they’ll know how to write about you!

Would have been a safe bet that her immigration policy would be anything except the private army of chuds too stupid to be cops terrorizing our streets more than the imaginary foreigners they made up to justify killing civilians

“You got any games on your phone?”

His Civ6 mods were pretty good, too!

EDIT: Okay, I was apparently misinformed in some way into believing that the plumber was the same person as the Civ modder. I had to get this corrected, but I will choose to continue believing in this ironically, because it is funny

Coincidentally I was thinking about cancelling just for the financial benefit since I will be making significantly less money soon

Indeed. It started with Super Metroid, and it ended with SMT3: Nocturne
