Thank you. Sorry. Never played that game and didn’t know that was specific to FPS. I know some arcade shooter games had that mechanic, but not in the context of free-roaming FPS. I think you’re right about Tomb Raider.
I think you need to be more specific than just “third person”. Third person view was in Pong, Pac-Man, Asteroids, Centipede, etc. It’s the default for most games.
First person was probably introduced with Battle Zone.
Which, I don’t mean to sound pedantic, I just literally don’t really know what you mean here.
Fuck all that noise. Give me more Baldur’s Gate. I’m the biggest Star Wars fan and I haven’t bought a game since KotOR other than Survivor and the sequel. Because every time one catches my interest they start talking about all the cool DLC or things that are locked behind months or years of progression. I just won’t.
I have a very feminist outlook on things, but I enjoy some problematic things. I know it’s not very progressive of me, but it is what it is. I acknowledge they are problematic.
Which is just to say, I don’t like this. I understand, but I’m not a fan.
I played that back when it was called Team Fortress.
Edit: I didn’t mean that to be dismissive of Fortnite or ignore the vast differences, just commenting on that particular description which perfectly matches playing an engineer in TF2 and I think TF, but that was a long time ago.
But you really have to wade through a mound of shit to get there, and I genuinely don’t have the patience
I’ll ask ChatGPT to pull out the key takeaways for me so I can have an unreliable summary of a tedious article.
For anyone interested, here’s what I got. I vouch for none of it.
Sure, here are the key takeaways from the article:
Workplace Changes Post-Pandemic: Many companies are reevaluating their workplace practices and considering hybrid work models as a permanent option.
Employee Expectations: Workers are increasingly valuing flexibility, remote work options, and better work-life balance, influencing employers to adapt their policies.
Talent Attraction and Retention: Companies are focusing on how to attract and retain talent through flexible work arrangements and enhanced benefits.
Impact on Office Spaces: There’s a shift in how office spaces are used, with a trend towards creating collaborative and social spaces rather than traditional workstations.
Technology Integration: Businesses are investing in technology to support remote and hybrid work environments effectively.
These points highlight the evolving nature of work environments and the adjustments organizations are making to meet new expectations and technological advancements.
I feel like corporations are inherently evil. The owners have no actual liability for the harm they do, and their highest calling is profits. I don’t know how to encourage investment without the stock market, but I do know if you play a little game called “what is the end result,” you’ll quickly see a dystopian future where everyone is slaves except in name.
We’d better look into the French solution long before it gets to that point.
It sounds really good, but I’m protesting commercials on a service that promised to be commercial free. I will watch it vicariously through online discussions.
Diablo 3 sucked for a while and then I came back after 2 or 3 years and enjoyed it for many more. Maybe I’ll come back to Diablo 4 in the future. But it really seemed like the game just isn’t for me. Too much online bullshit and time-gated shit that makes it feel like a job instead of a game.
I used to play Day of Defeat, but that’s more like a Counterstrike where there isn’t really an offline component. I don’t even know if there are servers still up, but I’d imagine there are.
