I actually enjoy Battlefield 1 + 5 very much, and they killed it with their anticheat shenanigans. I am still salty about this.
Fuck EA.

The old testament - in many parts - as well as other ancient “religious” texts, is the passed down reflection of humans on the process of “civilizing” themselves during the late neolithic period. It’s all there, beginning with the end of their life as hunter-gatherers and the emergence of diseases of civilization, the hardship and suffering that came along with the “gift” they got that is learning how to cultivate land.
It’s been the complete loss of everything that made up human life for the largest part of our (pre-)history, suddenly gone, because we literally “tasted the fruit”.

It’s the part where you say that Jews want skynet for world supremacy.
That’s the “what?” part.

That explanation is very pictorial yet wrong.

Guess US-companies don’t really care what’s legal and what’s not. They don’t fear the repercussions of doing illegal shit. They just pay their fine - or they don’t and nothing changes.
- Comment on Does it feel like the PS5's library is *severely* lacking compared to the PS4's around the same time in its lifecycle? 1 month ago:
It’s the same with my XBox Series S. It’s just sitting there, collecting dust. Just as my steam library. My switch though has seen some rise in usage during the past few months as my kids are getting old enough to play video games and I prefer them to do this instead of binging Cocomelon…

epic sound track
That’s the one thing where I would raise an objection. An epic soundtrack is that one thing that adds to the experience more than fancy graphics or overly complicated game mechanics. Epic doesn’t necessarily mean expensive. Monkey Island had phantastic soundtracks, as well as other older games like The Settlers 2, early Anno games etc. They just set a mood. They supported their narratives. That was good stuff - and I guess you might now be able to extrapolate how old I am.

Half a decade for a subpar product that’s barely out of beta.
Back in the day we’ve got subpar products barely out of beta that we had to patch from magazine cds far faster. Oh - and they were more fun because developers had to make something out of nothing. I feel today, where everything is possible as the engine used delivers a toolset for anything, games easily are so overly stuffed with “mechanics” that they just feel like work. I don’t like that.

it’s that one game I have on each device I own and carry around alongside AD1503
- Comment on Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit for PC Video Review 2 months ago:
NFS 4 was the last one I thoroughly enjoyed. Porsche Unleashed was nice too but way different. But the series from NFSII-SE to PU was what I played with friends from elementary school after we got home so it’s a key memory for me and I might be biased.
Gaming back then was just different. The games from that era are the only ones I regularly come back to even after it’s been almost 30 years.
