Anticorp,

The more you do it, the less likely you are to forget

Anticorp,

They say it takes the average person 28 days to form a habit. So whenever you want to create a new habit, you only have to force yourself to do it for 28 days.

Anticorp,

That doesn’t sound like a limited amount of time to play.

Anticorp,

The problem with these things is that it usually works out being a net positive for the company. Like when Netflix stopped allowing households to share passwords. I cancelled, and hoped that drives of other people would cancel too. But Netflix did their research just like any other company would, and they ended up getting more subscribers and more money because of it. The era of good deals is over. The era of squeezing customers for everything they’re worth is here. There is no more competition, and thus no reason for them to offer good deals.

Anticorp,

Same here man. We were up to about $70 per month for streaming services, which was right back to cable TV type of shit. When Netflix pulled the password stunt that pushed us over the edge and we’ve been real-debrid ever since.

Anticorp,

The shotgun is the most versatile gun someone can buy. By changing the shells used in the gun, you can completely change its usage. You can even get interchangeable barrels for different uses, and most shotguns have interchangeable chokes to change the distance and pattern. Shotguns are awesome.

"Valve is being sued in the UK for $843 million for 'overcharging 14 million PC gamers and abusing its dominant position' with Steam" (www.pcgamer.com) angielski

Being the most favorable game market does not mean “there is no competition”. It’s just the competition is doing it wrong so everyone flocks to what they like or have stuck with.

Anticorp,

And the people who were overcharged will get how much of the settlement? $2?

Anticorp,

Princess Zelda writes like an Internet teenager?

Anticorp,

Awe man! This information came a year too late. Now do PS5 please!

Anticorp,

Should the article author be accountable for intentionally writing rage bait? Sources say “yes”!

Anticorp,

That’s what my HTC Vive gaming room looked like.

Anticorp,

I gave mine to my adult kid, and he loves it.

Anticorp,

What I love about BG3 is that there are no wrong decisions. Sure, every decision has a ramification, but nothing will break the game. You get the end you deserve based on the choices that you make along the way.

Anticorp,

I mean, typically killing a character means they can’t join your party. How were you expecting to recruit her if you killed her? I’m actually doing my first fully evil durge playthrough right now and I’m looking forward to act two when I can recruit her.

Anticorp,

They do a great job of making things feel real and meaningful too. My last playthrough was supposed to be an evil playthrough, but all of the characters are so real that I couldn’t do it. I actually killed Karlach and felt so bad about it that I reloaded and recruited her instead. This playthrough though, which is my 3rd one, I’m forcing myself to make different choices and I’m amazed at how much it changes the game. Like I betrayed the grove and Karlach somehow heard about it before I found her, so she was pissed and fought me instead of trying to join me. I also did the mushroom quests and then fireballed the group when they were all celebrating, just to see if it would let me, and it totally does. I love the freedom that they give you in this game.

Anticorp,

Me too usually. I’m still being a softy sometimes, but in most scenarios I’m forcing myself to make different decisions because I want to experience how it changes the game. I’m looking forward to recruiting Minthara soon.

Anticorp,

Ah, I am not familiar with that update. But why would you want an evil character in your party if you’re playing a good character?

Anticorp,

I’m about to move into act 2 on an evil playthrough, and I let her live, so I’m eager to recruit her for the first time. I killed her in my first two playthroughs.

Anticorp,

Oh, but it can always get worse.

Anticorp,

What’s neat is that you don’t remember old games looking like this. You remember them looking great, because your imagination filled in the gaps.

Anticorp, (edited )

NO! Really?

Edit: sales and marketing don’t exist to sell stuff that people want, they exists to sell stuff that people don’t want. If you sell something with a high demand then you’re not a salesman, you’re a glorified cashier. Salesmanship involves getting people to buy stuff they wouldn’t otherwise buy. Most companies don’t have anything special that everyone wants, so they have to resort to sales and marketing to stay in business.

Anticorp,

What a NERD.

Anticorp,

All for the profits of a few people.

Anticorp,

Lol, those rules are for you, not for Nintendo.

Anticorp,

Oh boy! I hope I live long enough to see this mission completed.

Anticorp,

It means they’re okay with Blizzard launching expansions on maintenance day, so that nobody can actually play until the day after the game is released.

Anticorp,

Around tree fiddy.

Anticorp,

Finally, Overwatch 3 is Overwatch 2 with an extra map, and a new subscription model.

Anticorp,

Have they done something to SC2? I quit playing that game years ago, but it seemed like they were done touching it, and it was still in its original glory.

Anticorp,

I was expecting Leisure Suit Larry.

Anticorp,

This was Star Trek The Next Generation for me during the pandemic. Everything was so bleak, and a familiar and hopeful future brought me back from the edge of depression.

Anticorp,

Meeses.

Anticorp,

That’s not even a bad haircut compared to some of the shit I’ve seen this decade. That’s actually pretty good haircut.

Anticorp,

It seemed finished to me. What more is there?

Anticorp,

What the fuck?

Anticorp,

There’s no joke. Read the article.

Anticorp,

So, they’re basically forcing it into the junk pile, even if developers want to support it. What a terrible company.

Anticorp,

There’s no money in that for them. Now if they owned a real estate company…

Anticorp,

I’ve seen companies phrase 8% growth as a negative because they missed their 10% growth target that they just pulled out of their own ass.

Anticorp,

I thought Black Desert and GW2 were doing okay. I know two people who play one of each respectively.

Anticorp,

WotLK was pretty great. Cataclysm was okay, the beginning of the end IMO.

Anticorp,

Wait, they just give you mounts now? You used to have to wait until level 20 to buy a mount. Level 20 took forever, and then you could only buy the slow mount for your race. You didn’t get a fast mount until level 40, which took a very long time. Then you had to grind reputation for different factions to buy their expensive mounts. Some rare mounts could be found through seasonal events or in raids. I ran Tempest Keep every week for 2.5 years before I finally got Ashes of Al’ar to drop for me.

Anticorp,

Yeah, I started playing at the beginning of Lich King. I started with a mage, but my first level capped player was a hunter.

Anticorp,

Is that fun?

Anticorp,

I used pirated versions of XP for a decade. Nothing bad ever came of it. There were a lot of crackers back then that just did it for the challenge, and shared it because they wanted to.

Anticorp,

Yes

Anticorp,

That’s awesome. I eventually got my hands on an enterprise CD key that was given out to over 1000 students at a university and used that instead of the keygens for tortented ISOs.

Anticorp,

Same here actually. Now it’s totally free spyware/adware, so those days are gone. I just use Linux now.
