I like their places and they probably just cleaned it for the pics. Rather have some of them being successful compared to the rest.

[Uncle]

why do they keep doing this? why do they push this so hard, when clearly sooner or later the truth will come out, and all indications from the scenario sure point in the same direction as the last disaster for them?

I guess they keep doing it because it's fun to spread misinformation and sit back with a smug smile when you see people still confidently spreading your bullshit in their little qanon circles even after the truth is obvious to all normal people

Is there context for this? Or just a newbie who was terrified and ran for the hills as fast as he joined?

Uncharted 1 -> Uncharted 2. Mass Effect 1 -> Mass Effect 2. Assassins Creed 1 -> Assassins Creed 2.

Don't act like it can't be done.

Look at what you are saying. You listed games that all had expanded iterative sequels. That's great you liked them. What did the games do differently compared to each other? Not much at all, just added more polish, presentation, and a few new mechanics. Who said it can't be done, I said evolve the conversation because "The sequel is the same" is braindead kindergarden observational skills

I didn't enjoy Borderlands 3, Borderlands 4 I'm enjoying.

Some people hated Mass Effect but loved Mass Effect 2.

I don't think it's missing any logic at all.

Again, the crux being criticism of a "sequel being a sequel" is the subject. Now yall are trying to weirdly warp the subject about liking it or not. I dont care about anyones personal likes.

Sequels tend to land in 3 ways:

Complete divergence from the OG game, where they often lose their identity cuz they added so much shit

Sequels that dont do much at all. Sometimes ends up feeling like glorified DLC in the worst instances

And then there is A game that evolves and expands on its original concepts, usually with a modifier or gimmick. The balanced take where the sequel expands but also retains something so unique, it justifies existing within the franchise as its own iteration

We've been playing these types of sequels for 20+ years, why people acting brand new now. Thats just weird to me.

Y'all, we gotta stop letting Dusk Golem live rent free in our heads. And more importantly stop letting his "leaks" dominate discussion. I'm real tired of it.

This was (and still is!) a completely preventable thing if you simply moderated the forum.

Never, they gave me hope for silent hill 2 dlc that will probably never happen, that will stay with me forever.

I'm glad someone else remembers that he was making random shit up just a few months ago.

Oh hey the US politics thread is back!

[Ribosome]

Yeah, if the Dems go for this instead of shutdown, I'm never forgiving them, I will never trust the Dems to be trans allies because I can never trust them not to do it again when it's convenient. Trans people are not disposable.

And even if they didn't so what? 

How the fuck did these people end up with veto power over everything a political party does.

[Boredfrom]

I'm just going to be totally honest here, and I know there's a lot of people on here who don't want to hear stuff like this.

I find dusk golem's twitter more interesting than capcom's actual marketing. And I'm not the only one who feels this way.

 

This is the reason why he keeps doing shit like this.

Unreal 5 continues to be repugnant shit. PS5 Pro continues to disappoint.

Ah-seeta-minnow-fin.

I’m not saying paracetamol. My Belgian friend says that shit purposefully to piss me off. She knows I hate it.

Someone please hold Tim Sweeney accountable. Bankrupt that fucker and sink the whole goddamn company.

I’d also stop using UE5 because I’m too incompetent to make a decent fucking game on it if I were Konami but here we are.

Pathetic shit, from pathetic people. Fix your shit Gearbox.

Henry Jackman is trash. Bro has one good score, and that’s winter soldier and only because it doesn’t involve strong motifs. How the fuck this motherfucker gets work after butchering Greg Edmond’s Uncharted themes is beyond me.

I’ve never been more disappointed in a game I’ve wanted. I wanted NG4 so bad. But not like this. Fuck you platinum you goddam dream killers.

blame Team Ninja

I mean they aren’t capable of making a game like this anymore so I can only blame them for their fucking incompetence and lack of skill.

Blame themselves for being unable to tell a game looks really good actually.

I couldn’t give a shit how it looks. Absolutely no one asked for a Ninja Gaiden game by way of Platinum Games. If we wanna blame someone, I blame Microsoft for paying for it, I blame Team Ninja for not having the ability to develop it themselves and I blame Platinum for shitting up one of my favorite franchises.

Can someone do a wellness check on this guy already? Jesus Christ

[Greatness Gone]

ninja gaiden 4's trailers show a seemingly competent game that looks like it had a full development cycle. 

which automatically makes NG4 at minimum the second best game in the series.

That was the most surprising thing."[130]

I don't want to get too specific for obvious reasons, but I've been working on a big event for my job in the media industry and through a series of miscommunications the marquee guest has pulled out. I think our partner is going to cancel the whole event, so a giant wash for us.

I had never done this kind of producing before. it's a contract job and it wasn't really my job brief (I was a researcher originally), but I was trying to take initiative because I do like the company and wanted to show my boss I could take on more. now it's all fucked. I'm an at will contractor and assume a fuckup this big is just going to lead to termination. I basically didn't communicate a really pivotal change in the event decided by the partner that was a complete nonstarter for the guest, and now it's too late to get an alternative guest.

I've been laid off before, but never fired due to a fuckup on this scale. I really needed this job. I know it's really stupid but I have just been having constant panic attacks since this all went down yesterday. I keep crying like a fucking idiot. (it's a remote job so not at the office thankfully) have spent today trying to savage it but I don't think it's gonna happen.

anyway, just needed to vent I guess, have you ever fucked up massively at work?

Do you think this guy, and the 1400 likes, believe the "tent" is literal rather than a metaphor for how political parties need to be inclusive of many interests to maximize the size and thus win elections? You aren't kicking centrists out of your tent, you're leaving their tent for your own smaller tent that won't be able to defend itself from the arsonists because it chose to deliberately reduce its manpower.

I think so many Americans, and beyond really, have this narcissist conception of politics where someone with self-declared perfect morals just yells their demands and then like all of reality reshapes itself to match the interests of the main character. Other people, other interests, simply don't ever exist except as this sort of nebulous evil opposition that refuses to obey the Chosen because the cruelty is the point. It's obvious, and has been obvious, in progressive circles for many decades, the Obama campaign was literally this idea nearly personified. But these days MAGA isn't any different, especially because this is and has always been Trump's own perception of how, well, everything works. Politics has been abstracted away entirely from "politics" as the "engaged" practice it. The frontlines are Jimmy Kimmel not elections, those exist merely as the scoreboard of who is winning the endless war where politics is everything and so nothing and in the end politics itself isn't ever a concern.

If you want political power the burden is on you to place your interests below enough other people's until you achieve a majority that brings your interests in with it. This should be so obvious that it need not be said but so many on Era, Bluesky and Twitter seem to believe otherwise that they must not actually want political power. As Zack Snyder said "with great power comes great responsibility" and the last thing they want is responsibility of any kind. In the case of Era, you can just look at how they moderate their video game forum. More broadly how nothing is ever their fault, it's always bad luck and systemic issues or narcissist abusive ex-husbands putting them in debt. I have no agency as I demand everyone else submit solely to my agency at all times.
