- Comment on What are you playing this week? May 13 2024 Edition 5 days ago:
I was playing a lot of Songs of Syx, which I highly recommend if you enjoy very intricate city building and management games.
Since that is more or less done though, I am now getting into Monster Hunter World for the first time.

So, like, get beamed on a planet and eaten by the monster of the week?
- Comment on Starfield Next Update Arriving This Week, Shattered Space DLC Sails Out This Fall 2 weeks ago:
Prediction: they are gonna release some shitty pieces of DLC to technically fulfill their obligation to the idiots who bought some sort of ultra-elite-platinum version of the game or whatever it’s called, after which point they will abandon the game, because no one cares at this point, them least of all.

“After we ruined CK3 with new mechanics that only work properly if you have all the DLC, we’re gonna do the same thing to Stellaris!”

I would like you to know that if you say this, or other things you said in this thread to my face, I would punch the smug out of you.
Remember this post in a few years when your billion dollar theft machines have shut down for being huge wastes of money and effort and the few survivors, if any, have been sectioned off into expensive subscription models that you are priced out of because they need to make the literal billions of dollars it costs to make and run them back at some point.
This is the same-ass bubble as NFTs and crypto and it will also die.

- Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" 1 month ago:
Fuck these people, they did every single thing wrong with their product and the only people who do good things with it are independent content creators. Critical role made D&D the thing to play in the internet age and Larian made a great game with it. Meanwhile D&D under Hasbro has done…what? Fucking nothing is what. They give you shitty books with 95% fluff you don’t need and/or makes no sense, but it has a new subclass for each class in it. Are the classes good? No! No they are not. But while you buy those books anyway please take a look at our 100$ deck of cards that we pretend is gonna make you able to create great adventures on the fly. Nevermind that the whole mechanic of it could fit into a few pages of text as die roll tables.
They can’t even publish all the 50 year anniversary D&D books in their 50th anniversary! They also said those books are a combined 1000 pages as if it’s a value add or impressive, when the current 3 books also have that page count. They basically want you to re-buy your books for 50 bonus pages and the only value add you get will be some fucking focus-tested subclasses. Will they be good? WHO CARES! Even if they are good, the classes will get put on the internet within a day and you don’t need the rest of the books at all!
Don’t buy any D&D products. Don’t give money to these people. Let their company die.
Also, play better games. Fabula Ultima, Lancer, Sentinel Comics TTRPG, there are innumerable games that do any genre you could ever want better then D&D does fantasy.
