It directly generates profits, they’re just too stupid to understand how.

Won’t happen, or at least won’t be useful if it does. Lotta Chinese authors are faking data for the sake of the CCP and their studies don’t replicate. If that takes over, it’ll be like a global Dark Age.

It’s stupid only because they try to rationalize it.
Comics Thanos just wants to commit genocide so his crush notices him. That’s also stupid, but he’s a big purple space alien so what can you expect? Using a magic space glove powered by stardust and wishfish to kill half of all life as an incredible gesture of his devotion to Death makes internal sense.

god could they just do one thing right with this franchise? Thanks for falling on the sword for us, guess I’ll have to hold onto my pirated copy of OG Warcraft 3, since I can’t download the one I legally own.

How has nobody mentioned Rimworld? Such an incredible soundtrack!
- Comment on You have a bad friend if he isn't willing to help you bury a dead body or if he is willing to help you. 2 weeks ago:
If you ask a friend to help you bury a body and they agree, that person is definitely a good friend. They’re a bad person for assisting you in murder, but you can be a good friend and a bad person.

honestly at this point, why even use real numbers? Just ask for a bazillion rubles, it’s about as likely as 2 undecillion.

You don’t have to pay people to generate good reviews. You can also just only choose to give review keys to friendly media outlets you’ve already built a relationship and know will treat you uncritically.

Except the North didn’t want mass executions and was willing to let the South keep their institutions.
I can assure you, Israel’s neighbors would be more than happy to burn it to the ground. So while you could dissolve the Zionist state, you would have to do so while still supporting the defense of Israel, or else you’d just switch from a massacre of Palestinians to a massacre of Jews.

There’s a replication crisis in a handful of more recent fields that use human subjects and didn’t have hard rules and restrictions on how to treat human subjects in the early 20th century. Psychology is the field that has had the biggest issue with is, with many old studies having what we now see as serious methodology issues. It doesn’t inherently mean all of those studies are wrong, just that they need to be revised with updated methodology to confirm if their results are accurate.
There’s also about 1500 years of scientific study aside from that which doesn’t relate to human subjects at all, and by this point has been replicated numerous times, so I would not doubt the claim that most research is replicable and valid. I would expect about 80-90% of our collective scientific knowledge to be accurate.
- Comment on Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct on 13 November - WoW 3 weeks ago:
Modern WoW at least seems to be moving in a good direction, though I haven’t personally played since BFA. At least we now have official vanilla servers if you want to play the “good” WoW.
I feel big fear and trepidation at the shout-out to Warcraft: Orcs Vs Humans though. Hope we’re not getting another WC3 Reforged situation.

I have to know, how was sanitation handled? did you each student have an individual sample, or were you all licking a communal rock?
- Comment on One Piece Anime Announces Historic Hiatus - ComicBook.com 4 weeks ago:
honestly very interested in what the recut Fishman Island will be. I think that arc is probably the worst one in the anime, but I really love a lot of the characters, Fisher Tyger especially. I’m actually interested in seeing it touched up.
- Comment on Bethesda Believes Starfield Now Has "Its Own Fanbase" 5 weeks ago:
I wonder how much overlap said fanbase has with the generic “Bethesda Softworks” fanbase, and how much of said fanbase has played other open-world RPGs released in the last decade.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
Cyberpunk is very much not a shit game, it’s a pretty good RPG with a great variety of character builds and fantastic writing. The devs did an absurd amount of work in order to make the gameplay significantly more fun. I’d also make the argument that Witcher 2 is a really good game, and is what popularized the series enough for Witcher 3 to be such a colossally known hit. The two companies make very different RPGs to one another, for sure, but you’re just being a contrarian if you think the pedigree of the two companies is vastly different.
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
Neither of which will matter.
Bethesda’s game design is just too old. Playing Starfield felt like playing an RPG from a decade ago. Bethesda just got complacent from back when they were one of the only companies that could seriously do an open-world RPG, now we have CD Projekt-Red and FromSoftware with wildly different, significantly more innovative gameplay experiences. Hell, even other AAA devs like Capcom have been able to outperform in the open world space, Dragon’s Dogma 2 was a ton of fun.

Yeah I don’t think there was an episode of Dragon Ball where Goku goes into a hyperbolic cum chamber.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
I’ll bet $50 this is because they plan on pulling the plug on old reddit soon, and don’t want to allow the inevitable protests.

- Comment on The mod who bypass' the PSN login for God of War Ragnarök got removed on Nexus Mods 1 month ago:
Not too surprising, I imagine removing the PSN login was real close to just cracking the game entirely. Honestly not sure why people would buy the game and then use a third party tool to bypass the PSN requirement as opposed to just pirating the game to begin with.
- Comment on Modders negate God of War Ragnarök PSN requirement after a brief review bombing 1 month ago:
probably, at which point you might as well pirate the game anyway. At least then you’re not financially supporting Sony’a dumbass decision.
- Comment on US can’t ban TikTok for security reasons while ignoring Temu, other apps, TikTok argues 1 month ago:
Temu isn’t a social media network that has been known to boost specific narratives with their algorithm. The U.S. isn’t saying that China can’t sell and market to the American audience, just that they’ll need a supervisor if they want to mess with media.
- Comment on Dragon's Dogma 2 patch introduces a casual mode, which stops your sick pawns from blowing everyone in a town up, among other things 1 month ago:
Their implementation of it just feels like they don’t actually want you to buy the microtransactions. In Dragon’s Dogma 2 for example, one of the most useful things you could buy is a Port Crystal, since it lets you setup a location to fast travel to and they’re reasonably rare to find. However, you can only buy one maximum, and you don’t really need them at all in the early game. By the time you would need one, you’ll have collected like 3-4, and getting an extra one would be honestly pointless. You would think that they’d change gameplay in some fashion to encourage you to spend money, but after finishing the game I had tons of all the stuff they were trying to sell.
- Comment on Dragon's Dogma 2 patch introduces a casual mode, which stops your sick pawns from blowing everyone in a town up, among other things 1 month ago:
It’s not really much of an argument, it’s just stating facts. I’m not for the microtransactions, I think it’s confusing that they would add such a thing at all, but they’ve consistently been doing it for all of their published games for nearly half a decade now. I’ve just chalked it up to a cultural difference since Capcom is an Eastern publisher, and on the sliding scale of scummy microtransactions it’s pretty close to the bottom.
- Comment on Dragon's Dogma 2 patch introduces a casual mode, which stops your sick pawns from blowing everyone in a town up, among other things 1 month ago:
This is a real valid issue. I’ve heard they finally put out a performance fix, but have not personally tried it out myself to confirm. It’s definitely the kinda game where you’ll need cutting edge tech to make it look beautiful, and it can look incredible, but that doesn’t excuse the abysmal performance on lower end hardware.
- Comment on Dragon's Dogma 2 patch introduces a casual mode, which stops your sick pawns from blowing everyone in a town up, among other things 1 month ago:
I mean, that’s just every Capcom release now. It has nothing to do with their confidence or anything, they just add pointless microtransactions because some suit at the company thinks it’s a good idea. It’s the same shit with Devil May Cry 5, all the recent Resident Evil games, literally everything they published. If that’s honestly the only thing keeping you from playing Dragon’s Dogma 2, you’re making a mistake.

I’m interested in knowing what your issues with it are. As someone who never played the first, I found it a pretty incredible and innovative RPG. Probably the biggest disappointment is just that I wish there were more monsters to fight, which I understand was a criticism of the first game until it’s Dark Arisen expansion.
