I wish more games adopted kotors combat. To me its the perfect casual streamlining of a turn based CRPG. It feels faster to me than traditional real time with pause games. Talk about kotor remakes and how the combat has to change.
To me the only need in modernization of the combat is adding more cool animations to cycle through and more abilities that possibly chain together animations that react a bit with each other. That’s the mainstream hook, cool animations you wouldn’t get with real time combat. Uncharted 4 sold huge numbers and that’s not very heavy on gameplay mechanics. It’s a spectacle. Kotor style combat can be a spectacle without being a QTE and cutscene battles festival

These days I feel like an outlier saying I love kotor combat. It’s like Disgaea games to me. The joy is watching the animations and building your character to see big damage happen and/or make your character a defensive/health monster. Like on rare occasion I’ll play an ARPG like Victor Vran solely just to mow down monsters at ease. That’s the joy by the end of kotor 2. In the academy just force jump mowing down enemies
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 2 weeks ago:
If you have a stable job with good pay or good upward mobility in the company potential and don’t have periods of unemployment, if it has a 401k, you’re 401k is being invested while the market is down. When unemployment is high, the Federal Reserve sets the federal funds rate much lower to try and stimulate the economy. That results in lower rates for consumer loans. So people that have stable jobs that pay well enough can take out loans and/or refinance their current loans to do better than they were.
When the market recovers, you’ve had years of experience that you can now use for job hopping at more senior level roles when the job market recovers. Also a lot of late career people end up consulting for companies large and small with inexperienced staff. Those that didn’t fare well in a career during a market downturn, it’s either stagnation or hardship after hardship

The s&p 500 tanks a ton and banks call on loans from these AI hyped companies using the price of the stocks as collateral (previously expected to rise). Credit crunch and now companies tighten the belts even further so higher unemployment again. Federal funds rate gets slashed and those that can manage steady good work during the recovery years will be fine. Everyone else will be struggle busing as usual

I thought about getting a Sam’s Club membership to look for a Series X as another cheap UHD Blu-ray player. They’ve got to be gone by now at my local one

- Comment on Helldivers 2 was almost a free-to-play game, could've changed Sony's live service trajectory 4 weeks ago:
That’s pretty much the whole of the article. It was a free to play title until it became a $40 game that would also still operate as a live service game

- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 4 weeks ago:
Going to need a global wave of union organization to at least get royalties on sales determined for contribution levels. That’s unlikely to be incredible money but anything is better than nothing as you age towards their elder years
Besides that, no real solution. It’s happened to every art industry. It turns out there’s probably been an incredible amount of artistic talent every year throughout the millenniums but it’s just the last couple decades where it didn’t require super levels of luck and financial backing to make it

- Comment on Xbox consoles are getting a price bump. Again. 5 weeks ago:
5 years of higher than usual inflation and tariffs. The prices actually aren’t far off inflation adjustment from 2020. Xbox as a console brand is done. Switch 2 for party games. PlayStation is you really need a high end console. Everyone else should be trying to embrace 1920x1080 or 2560x1080 PC gaming. GTX 1060 6gb still solid for most new games at 1080p. Low settings rarely look bad these days when you have to go low
If you really want 4k, embrace medium settings

- Comment on TikTok To Be Sold To Trump’s Right Wing Billionaire Buddies And Converted Into A Propaganda Mill 5 weeks ago:
Shout-out to every dumbass that thought just because that bill to give the president to unilaterally designate companies as foreign companies national security threats and ban them was being passed during a democratic party Presidency, that meant the ACLU and EFF were wrong and this was actually a good thing. The most popular easily abusable legislation of the past ten years.
Don’t support government powers that you wouldn’t want your opposition to possess. They will be in power someday, bet on that no matter what. Especially stupid stupid after 2020 Portland federal law enforcement disappearing people it should have been clear that the powers of the executive should have been limited before it was going to inevitably be in the power of opposition again but nope, Tiktok bad because China makes us feel insecure.
Stupid bill and stupid people that were, I know ACLU and EFF are against it but TikTok needs to be banned, dumbasses - a bill can be written that targets a single company rather than a blanket power to block out any company from that selection of countries. Of course now that it is law, a willing congress - an inevitability - can remove the country specifics or add any and for some reason dumbasses after 2020 were like - it won’t be abused
