Start reading. Don’t dive in. Read all you can read, understand everything you can, take all the precautions and only start your journey when you believe you’re ready.

How many of those are scalpers though?

You can, with some. The launcher has an offline mode and a lot of the binaries within the install location can be run without the -epicportal requirement, but I’m unsure if you can also play them without keeping the launcher installed. Depends on the game, I guess.

Power comes when people know they have it and with power comes responsibility to wield it.

And without education, people either don’t know they have it or don’t know how to use it.

And yet, we pretty much are. Early onset propaganda works. “The government is your friend. The government works for the people. If the government says so, then it must be true.”

If the government hasn’t banned something, then it must be safe/good to use. If the government makes laws to “save the children”, you damn well better believe it!

Children have to be educated in order for them to be inquisitive despite the fear of the unknown. And education is intentionally being neutered, so there is a distinct lack of coherent resistance to exploitative tactics. So without knowing for themselves what’s what, all they can do is follow the popular trends.

Yeah, the science of wishful thinking.
There’s no doubt we can extend life expectancy, just like we can maintain a toxicity free environment.
And yet, here we are today where the rich fucks looking to live longer are killing themselves in the process.

I presume they usually go like Batman and let themselves fall to quietly glide through the air until they can pounce from above the prey. Only here there wasn’t enough space for airtime to spread their wings.

Not the only ones. There are supposedly at least 3 studios considered for closure, among which is also Obsidian.

I feel like microbrain wants to offload costs of making games unto crowdfunded indies and just reap the profits on its store/platform.

I was once interested in time travel. My dedication was boundless and my morals were questionable. I only got smart enough to know I’m too dumb to make it work.

Going defunct.

Incorrect. Sundays are for praising the Sun! Y Cuddles start at sunset.

Emergency exceptions apply. In such cases, one is allowed to cuddle the Sun.

Damn immigrants!

I want a good MMO, but I also don’t want to pay a lot to play it properly.

Too bad we’re moths to a flame

Lemmy.

Just like traffic! More lanes, more blockage!

Scapegoating a problem is standard m.o. for this stuff.

The concept has been incorporated in games as an automated sequence of a mission, but i can’t recall it being the entire focus.

I vaguely remember Unreal Tournament and other pvp games having a map centered around giant cannons, either defending or blowing them up. Warframe also has one mission where the player(s) use an enemy giant cannon on an asteroid vs a spaceship and then disable it (temporarily). And of course Doomguy launched himself through one into Mars at some point.

We like big guns, but no one game comes to mind that fixes on their enormity and technical use.

Fraud and tax evasion, right?

Maybe they’ll end up renaming it to Qapla’.
