So remember how Ari and Zack were calling this game’s microtransactions “not that bad” just a day or two ago?

Yeah, the fact is, it IS an exploitative game. The entire model is designed to exploit people. Just because someone doesn’t have to does not change that fact.

This game is the source of one of my favorite weird gaming tidbits: The time that the devs had to nerf a gun’s sound for the sake of balance.

Maybe because being politely outraged didn’t fucking do anything and the world is being literally ruined for every creature but, possibly, ourselves? We’re going to literally drown millions, if not billions of people or at least their former habitats, because we were politely objecting to bad policies in the 20th… Read more

I mean, it’s Kickstarter. They’ve been blatant conspiracy theorists and assholes for nearly a decade. Probably the first sign was their attitude towards GMOs. The point about their size is spot on, they basically stumbled into being huge and then never bothered to do a good job.

Once again illustrating that the root of the problem is almost always the people up at or near the top — the people who, in truth, have nothing to do with what a company or business is producing or providing, ie the least useful or valuable part of the company or business, ie its most expendable ‘employees.’ Read more

Yeah I’d give Dave a bit of leeway on the jokes. That’s not to say they aren’t offensive to people. Heck I watched the special and at times looked at the audience and could tell from their faces they were, at the very least, unimpressed with them. That’s jokes; some work, some don’t. Read more

I thought the mic was good, and they probably thought getting a bad voice actor was way more true to the experience!

EDIT: The performance strives to faithfully preserve the character of JC. Every single line was performed directly after listening to the original Male JC’s read.

The issue becomes the fact that he is (or at least was at the time, not sure if it has been suspended) a licensed individual, who has to adhere to additional scrutiny from the SEC. That’s where the trading on behalf of other people, and manipulating stocks could really come back to bite him, and why the company was… Read more

Thanks for the easy to get through writeup that hit what I wanted to know about. Some reviewers are just too deep into 4X without actually being able to describe it to more casual players so this gives me a better idea of how it works. Certainly seems worth a spin via Game Pass.

The crypto community’s “thinking I’m smart” / “being a colossal dumbass” is fucking unmatched. The biggest suckers in the world thinking they’re pulling MENSA shit.
