Nice. I liked it before the dlc came out so I’m definitely down to see how it changes things. I appreciate when studios support their writers to deliver a satisfying/impactful product. It makes all the difference.

For a long while, DLC has been just an excuse to foist unnecessary content on the consumer for sales. There are a few notable exceptions in this like Fallout 3 and New Vegas, earlier Borderlands, and, surprisingly, the recent Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon.
For the most part, though, I have not bought DLC without thoroughly vetting it. I’m not talking about cosmetics. I’m talking about actual story/content additions being overpriced fetch quests which are, more often than not, just vehicles for more useless cosmetics.
As an example, Fallout 4 DLC (much like the basegame itself) was a mistake seated in brand loyalty/a hope of redeeming the title. The DLC featured cosmetic additions for their Sims style settlement minigame, a couple cutesy fetch quests for armor, and two unfinished story DLCs that played like the elevator pitch of what would have eventually been fleshed out of this we’re an earlier entry in the series.
With most story DLC, at best, you get a lackluster and entirely forgettable addition to the basegame. At worst, you get horse armor disguised as a new campaign or an unforgivably half assed hodge podge of storylines that cheapen the rest of your experience with the game.

They’ve had the famous star on their menu even before their quarter pound “six dollar burger” options came out in the mid 00s.
Famous stars were more like their signature/original burger (I guess that and the Western Bacon burger) and were priced lower than their premium line of six dollar burgers or even most of their promotional stuff.
That’s how far we’ve fallen lol. The price didn’t just go up 36 cents, their original tier burger either doubled or tripled in price (even outside of a meal offering) depending on where you live and they discontinued the premium Angus beef burger line because nobody can afford it/they continue to enshitify their menu and quality of their ingredients/sourcing.

Replacing godheads and debating minute dogmatic differences between colonizer/authoritarian religions is not going to change things for the better. We’ve been doing that for millennia.
Emphasizing historical learning and perspectives from the breadth of the world as well as modern civic humanist principles in our communities sounds a lot more effective to me than replacing one fictitious narcissistic sky daddy with another. Go peddle your ancient brainrot elsewhere.

Yeah lol I will agree that it’s less heavy of an accent, for the most part, but most people can still tell unless you literally talk like a news anchor. Same with West Coast accents tbh.

I recently finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and I think it fits the bill perfectly. I laughed, I cried, I raged, I celebrated, I was in awe. Really a beautiful story and deep take on life and existence. I went into it blind and highly recommend that kind of experience as well.

Jade Empire, baby! Finally got back around to it. I usually return to this game every so often but this is my first time playing it on a steam deck. Pretty easy control customization straight out of the box in the game itself. Also the first time playing it with gamepad in a while so lots of nostalgia from my old Xbox days.

I love the kind of woman that will actually just kill me. You know, when I left the house today I was thinking “Damn, I really hope some hot chick paints my brains all over some fucking hallway.” And here we are.
I mean, really, just absolutely destroy me. I’m talkin’ full on, watermelon in the thighs level carnage.
And I want it to scare the shit outta me. I mean I hope I piss myself. I hope I piss myself and you call me your little “peepee pisspiss boy.” I want you to fuck me up. I mean I want you to make me your bitch. Your little peepee piss myself bitch.
I want it to get embarressing. I mean like… weirdly embarrassing. Unsanitary, too. We should be entirely different people, by the end of the first eight hours.
Do you understand what I’m trying to say here? I mean, l’m a real freak. I’m not normal. Ma’am… Please… You have to crush me.
