Yeah, I’m pretty sure it was a different but similar game from the same person. Even the background story was the same or similar. So… maybe just new account

And then came bumblefuck RFK Jr. with the typical level of stupidity.

Made me lol.

The same quote is also in the guardian article.

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency

A friend used to spend time sneaking + auto walking into a door behind which was an npc. He did that to level up the sneaking skill… Edit: oh, op mentioned his trick as well. Still, point stands.

Meh… these types of tricks are interesting to discover, but boring to use, imo. If you’re gonna play that way imo just use cheats to max whatever skills you want. Less time wasted and more time left to enjoy the game.

Gaza aid flotilla in the title. Not Greta’s flotilla. Her name is there because she’s the most well known person there, probably and also because not everyone was arrested.

It says in the article

The Global Sumud Flotilla said most of its vessels were continuing their journey as of early Thursday morning, nearing the coast of the Gaza strip despite the interruptions.

Vice city has a cheat code that makes cars fly. Although it’s more like leapfrog because you need to accelerate in order for the game to push you up to fly.

So when I was a kid I used to get the tank and turn the gun around and shoot it and use it as a propeller for infinite flying.

Well, after reading the whole thing… they have equally bad things to say about Russia and China, so I don’t think the article is written by a tankie. And even tho I disagree with their claims that Europe is sabotaging the peace talks in Ukraine (it’s obvious to most people that russia doesn’t wanna give up the land that they’ve taken and Ukraine isn’t happy to concede it either), I also can’t say for sure that they’re not. World leaders are known to be lying cunts and it wouldn’t surprise me to hear that they are indeed doing that. They probably think it’s a good thing that Russia is spending so much time and resources in Ukraine.

Depends what you mean by recent. I’m not even someone that plays with music, unless it’s an rpg or some other genre with a lot of talking, I just turn it off because I prefer listening to my own music.

But to answer your question, world of warcraft, Baldur’s gate3, clair obscur, Stardew valley, tropico 6, doom, hotline Miami, pretty much all the supergiant games, outer wilds, Cuphead, celeste, witcher 3, ac black flag + odyssey (fucking love those shanties).

And that’s just off the top of my head and from games I’ve played. I’m sure there’s tons more.

Edit: just as I pressed the post button I remembered how I’m always super hype for new civ games because they always have good soundtracks. Except for this lastest one, haven’t played this one.

Yeah, you won’t hear us defending those games either ;)

Haha. Yeah, I had to play when I was home alone cause my wife kept making fun of the noises I was making.

Yeah, that’s fair enough about Subnautica. Might be worth trying with a trainer or something to just bypass the grinding and still experience the rest, tho.

As for outer wilds… Definitely worth giving it a shot, imo. The first bit is indeed a bit long, but shouldn’t be longer than an hour, tbh. And after that the game autosaves quite often and even when you quit, afaik. Should be more than fine for short sessions.

Alien: isolation? Pretty good horror game, imo. SOMA? Subnautica can be pretty scary,. especially for people with thalassophobia or however it’s spelled… Outer wilds? Not horror, but it is quite unsettling. Also an all around amazing game that everyone should experience, imo.

What’s wrong with piefed? Genuinely asking

Yeah, that’s what I thought as well, but I figured a confirmation wouldn’t hurt because the phrasing seemed unusual.

How do you steal something you’ve purchased? What am I missing?

They’re all cool if you’re into the games or whatever they cover, imo. Having books on stuff that you’re not familiar with feels weird, imo. Google Books covering your favourite games and stuff and I’m sure you’ll find plenty. But if you don’t care about that and just want cool gamer stuff to put on the coffee table, The Game Console 2.0: A Photographic History from Atari to Xbox might be one of those. There’s a LOTR illustrated edition. There’s a tomb raider cookbook and travel guide. World of warcraft also has tons of cool art and a cookbook. There’s God of war lore and legends. There’s The Art of Video Games from pacman to mass effect, etc. And for more, there’s This site.

That’s part of it and it’s probably part of the staying power, sure. But I’m pretty sure it exploded before it started doing that. Iirc, quite soon after release, Ninja became one of the most popular streamers on twitch, breaking records and stuff and he even did a stream with Drake which at the time was the biggest stream ever. People were speculating even then that maybe epic paid Drake, but well… could just as easily have been just Drake being Drake.

As for why it got popular in the first place… I think it’s just being at the right time in the right place. There was Minecraft hunger games, h1z1, PUBG and probably a few other smaller ones. They were all quite popular and then Fortnite came along and made it more accessible and arguably more fun and stuff as well. A few of my friends used to try pretty much all the popular games, especially shooters. And besides CS, Fortnite was definitely the one that kept them engaged the longest. That’s just anecdotal, but well… if it worked on us, it’s probably worked on many.

The looting you can skip with cheats. Technically you can skip a lot of traveling that way as well. But that’s a big part of the game, imo. If you don’t enjoy spending time in the game, then all you want to do is shoot people? There’s better games for that.

Nah, I’m willing to bet HL3 will come out (at the latest) 5 years after Gaben’s death. Not because he’s witholding it, obviously, but because whoever comes next will probably try to make as much money as possible and that’s an easy first way to do it.
