- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 ended up making me regret playing. 1 year ago:
People don’t typically do dragons well in general tbh. Even when dragons are secondary to the plot, opting for wyverns the no-armed beasts and calling them dragons. It sort of hurts me inside.
But I agree I want more genuine dragons in my media.
(Side note, I haven’t read the OP as to not spoil myself so for all I know OP could be arguing the same thing so sorry for the redundant point if that’s the case.)

They’ve resumed development on this? Huh, that’s interesting. At this point this game has gone through dev hell so I hope it turns out alright.

Wise words

The issue with SR Reboot is that they did try to modernize the humor, they went and dove head first to new style of humor and it clearly didn’t work for them.

From all that I’ve seen it’s more like they are trying to dismiss the success that Larian has found by saying that they are a special case which is nothing but smoke and mirrors. Larian did hard work and are being rewarded for it.
- Comment on Noooooo you can't make a microtransactions free game and finished too 😭😭😭 1 year ago:
Yeah, in that case I totally agree. It’s just ineptitude shouting at excellence.
- Comment on Noooooo you can't make a microtransactions free game and finished too 😭😭😭 1 year ago:
Who in management exactly? As far as I know Larian is not responsible for the tweets aside from just making a good game.
- Comment on Noooooo you can't make a microtransactions free game and finished too 😭😭😭 1 year ago:
The picture in the OP is PR for a publishing company. There are many other accounts of people who work in the industry who are angry/jealous of Larian. You’re probably just not looking in the right places.
- Comment on The best-selling video game of each year since 1993 1 year ago:
As expected, Pokémon and then CoD primarily. Gamers just wanna catch cool monsters and kill dudes. Kinda messed up tbh but like, whatever.
- Comment on Noooooo you can't make a microtransactions free game and finished too 😭😭😭 1 year ago:
Those developers trying to shit on Larian need to cry and seethe more. Terribly incompetent people who can’t create good games themselves, why not trying taking notes instead?
Keep up the great work Larian.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 is the horniest RPG I've ever played and honestly it's a bit much 1 year ago:
Right off the top you made a super bold assumption about my account and about me thus I won’t give you the time of day. Not like I could change your bigoted ass point of view even if I wanted to. Good bye.

Oh, I see.

Sex-negative mindsets are dumb. It’s a core functionality of our nature. People mistook modesty for anti-sex and here we are.

What?
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 is the horniest RPG I've ever played and honestly it's a bit much 1 year ago:
What the hell? I just want people to be able to be open about sexual topics and be okay with displaying their bodies without getting attacked or shunned. And for people to play games with anywhere from a little or a lot of sexual content without the fear of it being censored and them being called perverts and weirdos and whatever else, BG3 is a shining example of this.
And if you think that it’s about treating women like sex dolls then I feel like you should take a good long look at yourself.

Yeah! Glad to see so many people agree with our point of view as well. Religion and other factors have done so much damage to so many people, it’ll be a slow process I’m sure but maybe games like these will help fix our culture are reverse those puritanical and prudish views.

I love how this game handles sex and romance, it’s unashamed with a sex-positive mindset, something that just seems natural to me but I guess I’m just weird.

Ahh, I see. I’ll have to check it out. :)

Wait we’re talking about the same BeamNG right? Last I checked that game is not in the same genre as Redout and WipeOut.

I mean yeah, that’s typically how it works but…
He’s double dawg daring them.
- Comment on Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit old. Any suggestions from the community? 1 year ago:
Lots of great suggestions from others already, so I’ll add some for when she’s a bit older. I’d say when she grows up the Tomb Raider series would be great for her to play if you want a good female protagonist. And it may be too raunchy of a recommendation for a daughter, but if you want another good female protagonist I’d suggest Lolipop Chainsaw, a great game for when she becomes a teen if she keeps up the hobby. :)

I actually got this game during early access and dropped it due to something similar.
But yes, never pre-order.

Just like regular D&D!

I wanna contribute to that number but I’ve encountered a progression halting glitch. :(

Hmm, don’t worry I won’t spoil things for you.

Playing through Baldur’s Gate 3 at the moment and this feels most appropriate.
Sidenote: love your name
- Comment on Obscure games talk 1 year ago:
Cataclysm on Lemmy? Hell yeah, shout out to Rycon one of like 3 total Cataclysm content creators. As for obscure games I’ve played…
I guess it’s more of a sub genre but the rhythm + other game genre like for example the most popular being Hi-Fi Rush and Crypt of the Necrodancer. But have you heard of Metal Hellsinger or BPM: Bullets Per Minute? All excellent games in my opinion that take a game genre like in BPM’s case the rougelike genre and changes things up by mixing it in with rhythm game mechanics.

I know nothing about the expanse but I’m interested. Would this be a good way to start?
- Comment on FTC is seeking public comments on an ESRB proposal to use facial recognition for COPPA verification. 1 year ago:
Agreed, and it’s just me I’m sure, but 18 is such an arbitrary number anyways. People all mature at different speeds and to limit someone who’s fine with that kind of content just because another person dislikes it by imposing a hard limit like a government id feels disingenuous, but I recognize a lot of people are going to disagree with me on that.
It’s a bit comedic, but I picture a scenario where a dad is trying to watch a movie with his kid and all of a sudden just before a scene where a quarter of a character’s boob is shown it stops and prompts him with a “Are you over 18? Please scan your face to continue.” And also would it even allow them if it also saw the kid there? Better yet take the kid out of the equation, it’s just an adult trying to watch an R rated movie or an M rated game.
Just some things to consider I guess.
- Comment on FTC is seeking public comments on an ESRB proposal to use facial recognition for COPPA verification. 1 year ago:
In Germany there are calls for a verifiable 18+ check, meaning via a reader app for the ID card or something
There are so many companies salivating at the thought of having access to that info. Call me a little rude, but I think that parents should just be more aware of what their kids do/see online instead of just offloading the blame onto the website that host sensitive content.
