For a second I confused Among Us with The Last of Us. I thought that was a pretty messed up suggestion for a little kid lol

As soon as I saw the title, I was gonna say Maxis, too. I like how they called their games “software toys”.

The Legend of Zelda

Yeah, there are newer versions, but I deliberately found the original.

I know what you mean. EVE is an interesting project, but SIX HOURS? Damn.

The absolute best value I ever got for a video game was for my old Atari 2600. I got a Solaris cartridge at a flea market for just a few bucks. It was cheap enough that I bought it despite never having heard of the game before.

The graphics capabilities of an Atari are laughable by today’s standards, but in terms of overall fun and hours played, nothing has ever beaten Solaris.

At first, I was somewhat surprised that this was even a question - then I reminded myself that they’re asking how the merger will affect the industry, not the players.

I don’t care how it affects the industry. I’m not a high-level executive with a gaming company. Are you?

For the players, I don’t think it’ll be that great. Whatever savings are made due to the merger won’t be passed on to us. They never are. What’s good for players is competition between many companies, all doing their best to attract customers. An enormous, monolithic conglomerate will do us no favors.

Yeah, that’s what the last two sentences are about.

A big company will take fewer creative risks and be more likely to limit investments to proven formulas. They’d rather just churn out sequels to huge moneymakers. On the other hand, more competition means more incentive to try something new and interesting in the hope of hitting it big.

If things actually work out to the benefit of the players, then great!

Come on. I don’t expect the average person to be an expert at this, but a professional animator should understand that the human face is a bit more complex than Mr. Potato Head. You don’t just slap a grin on there and call it a day. It’s not like this is some groundbreaking experiment, and nobody has ever tried to animate a face before.

Woah. I got Gary Oldman confused with Alan Rickman. Rickman died back in 2016… and the article STILL made sense.

That alone makes me think they’ve spent way too long on the goddam game.

In my expert opinion as Some Random Dude who’s Only Seen the Commercial, it looks like a pretty cool game.

Edit: now I’ve seen the trailer, too, which makes me a PhD. I would like to double down on my initial evaluation.

I don’t know why, but I think calling people “pathetic cowardly whores” in this specific situation is hilarious.

What, exactly, does one have to do when moderating a torrent site to earn the title of “whore”?
