Ohhh, so that’s why he was called Buzz Lightyear!

Being downvoted for sense. What a world.

Man I wish I could even get a consistent impression out of anyone. I’ve been scrounging for pre-release footage but Beth is being weirdly tight lipped about this one.

100% a wait for the reviews situation, the less they show off the more I worry they’re hiding something. Just a reminder to everyone, Fallout 76 was the last game they released…

Am I crazy or has there been almost no pre-release coverage of this game?

Oblivion and Fallout 3 are two of my all-time favourite games (I’ve played the others as well but those 2 stuck with me the most) but I just cannot get hyped for this game. It’s like a black box with people’s hopes and dreams, and it feels like people are just hyping themselves up by imagining what could be inside it.

I couldn’t imagine pre-ordering this game in particular. Beth has been so quiet I’m worried it may just be a total flop.

They also mention that the majority of homeless aren’t that.

Yes, but the majority of visible homeless are.

Yeah, this kinda shit is fucking hilarious but people don’t realize it. There’s this corporate training BS called Kaizen where they take a lot of normal Japanese words like 無理 (muri) and associate weird Eastern mystic significance to them.

Literally just means “impossible” and is frequently used in slang to be like “no no no I couldn’t possibly [talk to that hot guy]”. Having it put up on a slide and presented by some white dudes in suits who were nodding solely and talking about the secret Japanese knowledge was just too much to bear.

I mean, from a game improvement standpoint you’d want them to have analytics. Seeing how other people use your game doesn’t seem the most unreasonable thing ever to me.

I was once subscribed to four! I am now subscribed to one as the others kept fucking with me with these price raises and password sharing crackdowns.

I think more people just need to draw a line in the sand. These companies’ strategies are akin to slowly inching up the temperature of the water until you’re sitting in boiling water without realizing it.

It’s unfortunate that the average consumer seems to be about as aware as the lobster.

Genuine question, does anybody ever hunt with pistols?

Long guns are one thing, handguns are pretty explicitly anti-personnel weapons from my understanding.

MCRLWAIN hurts my brain to pronounce

This feels like a copypasta

Strongly agreed! That’s been my sentiment exactly. That’s why I’m not at all bothered when people compare the numbers and show how many orders of magnitude more people are on Reddit. That’s just fine with me.

Lemmy scratches the same itch, it isn’t the same 5 posts circulating for three days anymore, and we seem to have reached a critical mass where it feels just like it should, but without the shitty bits.

Because third party apps are literally the point that drove a lot of people to Lemmy in the first place. It’s classic selection bias.

If you like roleplaying games, absolutely yes. It’s way move involved than their previous games (which were also great). Divinity always felt AA at best, but the polish on BG3 is impeccable.

For me what really does it is the professional voice work and motion capture on seemingly every single sentiet humanoid character in the game. Even random folks who have a single line of dialogue have a unique voice and an interesting character design. They don’t all blend together, even when they are objectively filler characters.
