I wish this was a thing outside Alidi in the US

This reads like rage bait. I want to make a copy pasta of it even

I’m a high school teacher and students and parents both pull this shit. Drives me nuts.

Not OC, but an important tenet of Buddhism as you probably know is known as the “First Noble Truth,” which states that “life is suffering.” The second through fourth noble truths basically tell us to cease attachment and desire and to live a life based on “right living” to avoid the problems caused by attachment and suffering.

I think this is where OC has an issue and I agree because sometimes being a human sucks and you need some escapes from that suffering. I consider myself a Buddhist as well, and while many Buddhists will talk of the “middle way” between living a conventional life and living a life that tries to get rid of all attachments, I find myself mostly leaning toward the conventional ways of alleviating suffering like playing video games and smoking weed.

Tldr: living like a monk isn’t easy (or something I want) but the Buddhist worldview helps me make sense of the world so I use it.

This is my take too. I gave Starfield a chance and I should have just gotten Baldurs Gate 3 that weekend instead.

What’s worse is how they dug down into qualifying why it sucked and their nightmare of a PR response. It fucking sucks though too. I want them to be good.

You’ve never encountered photojournalism?! I know they are cutting budgets for photographers but that seems sad to me.

EDIT: i present to you: the duality of humanity.

Like someone else said it’s gotta be a result of the voting for the awards being awful. I wanted to like Starfield and (ducks down) even got it early at the higher price.*

But yeah lol innovation is a joke. Makes me feel bad for the devs who really made innovative stuff this year.

*To be fair I had a shitty week before that and needed a new Bethesda game to make my life less awful so it…worked? It was my comfort food ok???

I skimmed over ally and got super excited for a second.

touches nose not it!

Games my kids and I enjoy on Steam:

(Not Xbox sorry)

• Alba (such a cute story)
• FPS Chess
• Dinkum
• Webbd
• Tinykin
• Spiritfarer
• Wobbly Life
• LEGO adaptations of series
• Among Us (canned chat only)

This is the kind of culinary finesse I’m on the level of in this thread.

I hope it does and I think it will but again with the reliance Bethesda puts on the community I’m nervous.

Anyway I’ve gotten much of the way through at 100 hours and have enjoyed it - definitely got my money’s worth - but I just sort of hit a wall. To be fair you’ll do that with most games but it seems like Stanfield is just bland.

It sounds like a wind tunnel in here because we’re all so oblivious.

That’s true and what worries me the most after wanting Starfield to do good. I’ve been playing Starfield for a bit only to find myself moving to Cyberpunk sooner than later lately.

Ahh so the woosh was on my end.

That’s what I was joking about. It’s a reference to the old /r/outside threads.

Also /s for the post since you didn’t see it 😊

I think everything you said here is spot on except the idea Starfield will improve pike Cyberpunk at this point because Bethesda’s attitude really doesn’t indicate that they seem to admit anything needs fixing.

With that said I doubt many people expected Cyberpunk to do as well later on so you are probably right and I hope you are for the game and genre. I really like the aesthetic of Starfield and want it to succeed.

I’m just so tired of getting such half baked stuff at release.

One annoying thing about the “make your own stories” concept is that content us going to be recycled. My followers don’t say anything new or have new things to do etc because it’s all baked in but also on this supposedly open RPG landscape.

4/10 the devs treat it like abandonware. I mean it was like 2000 years ago we got promised a kingdom of heaven upgrade and here I am.

Also the devs are really bigoted and have been posting weird shit in their product updates. I don’t like it.
