I played the Anthem beta and quite a bit at launch. Really enjoyed the game play but stalled out at the final difficulty tier in endgame. A combination of low drop chances and bad itemization made the progression ridiculously punishing at that point. And having only 3 dungeons, and useless open world content made the loop even less enjoyable.

Anthem could have been a great game if it had a little more content, had worried less about player retention and provided borderlands style loot quantities, and had tuned the items better (having 1%-400% ranges was bullshit, and that variability across the 4 different modifiers per item, with some modifiers being useless, like +ammo pickup vs +damage for example, made most drops useless. And most drops being useless made the low drop rates brutally aggravating.)

Also FOMO shops are dumb as hell and I’m convinced they generate less money. If you offer something cool that I’d want to buy, but I was at work so I missed out, now you don’t get my purchase, and I’m resentful. Just sell shit like normal.

Why are they spending all this money to aquire studios and IP just to cancel them? Presumably they need to release products to get a return on their investment, so why are they just sitting on stuff?

Damn that’s really good for ai. I just chalked the weirdness up to strange lighting and Florida being Florida.

Call me when we get transparisteel

The genocide of Palestinians is not in the past, it is ongoing. And they are displaced constantly to make way for more incoming settlers. You are simply handwaving genocide because it’s status quo.

Isreal is not a legitimate state. It is a colonial project occupying Palestine. The settlers are the foreigners as they have been in every other historical case of colonialism.

surrendering, releasing all hostages, de-militarizing,

And allow the genocide of Palestine to continue without opposition? Why should they simply lay down and die? Because fighting back is distasteful?

They should stop occupying the foreign

Calling the native population foreign is certainly a take. If you are a mask off dipshit that is. And yes they should stop occupying.

Can you feel the Truth and Reconciliation?

I’ll make my own prison, with blackjack and hookers!

Do you think he uses a steam controller to steer the sub?

I for one am ready to become a badass robot girl.

What do you think billionaire marbling is like? I bet it’s better than wagyu 🍽🥩😋

Extinction event goes vroom

Conserve your vital essences

I hate seeing this take repeated. Just because there have been other mass extinction events doesn’t mean the earth will be fine this time. If we fuck things up bad enough it will cause a runaway greenhouse effect. At which point the earth will not be fine, because it will be Venus 2.0. Additionally if we kill ourselves off but somehow fall short of that point, who cares if the earth will be fine in our absence? As far as we’re aware we are the only sapient life in the universe. This dismissive, humanity hating attitude that its fine if we die off because the planet won’t literally cease to exist, is so dumb. How about if we just be better instead of going extinct?

Profits are what is earned after expenses. It wouldn’t bankrupt a state to run energy infrastructure at cost.

Profit 😵
