Since I was a child. Religious nutjobs in and around my family. Then I became an adult and it's all I see from people in response to news.
It gets old so I try to tune out, remove toxic people, and focus on enjoying my life.
Elder Scrolls Online, as long as you find a good group of friends.
I also nearly have 1000 hours in MGSV Phantom Pain.
Probably mostly for middle class white people. A pretty significant chunk of the population I think struggled to enjoy those benefits.
In the scope of human history, we have addressed a shitload of issues and bettered the lives of billions in a very short period of time.
Yes, there is more to do and more can be done. But let's not act like there's no good done. It is incredible how better most everything about life as a human is today relative to most of our history.
So if I say you get to choose a kick in the genitals or a punch in the face, and you choose neither, then somehow you are the asshole?
Log off and go away. Get off your armchair.
Some people oughta just admit they don't like star wars.
It was 10 years ago.
People just want to be smug now cause it's the cool thing to do.
Acab
Yes. Lazy and low effort acronyms that lots of people don't know, therefore devaluing the purpose of it in the first place, often posted in an echo chamber where you aren't really finding new hearts and minds to change anyway. So it winds up not really having any effect on anything other than your smug sense of satisfaction for having typed a thing.
Well done. Bravo. Impressive contribution to this complex topic. This sure solved the issue with bad police. That did it.
I also have four letters I could contribute and it'd be just as helpful.
This kid in the story was walking around where demonstrably dangerous cars could hit him.
What are we arguing here?
He actually claimed 2 trillion.
Spartan: Total Warrior from the PS2 & Gamecube was I think an underrated or missed gem.
You don't exactly play as a lot of mythological things, but it tells a great story with action combat around a lot of really cool mythology. Some of the bosses were incredibly cool.
Ys I Chronicles on Steam Deck. Adol meets Dogi for the first time, again and again if you decide to get imprisoned multiple times.
Today is Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty from the Master Collection, Volume 1 on Steam. This is really just the HD edition from a decade ago though. But they did seem to enhance the visuals a bit, and like the other collection games, it comes with some background material like a Screenplay. This was probably my 20th time playing this game on yet another platform since the original.
Here messing around with soldiers. I like the markers over their heads.
Magazines come in handy.
I also like a lot of the in-game posters. There's some mods for these too. You should give Ghost Babel a try. It's non-canon, but still a great game.
More "interesting" posters.
There's an easter egg early in the Tanker if you find a specific poster of a woman in a locker and stare at it just right, then call Otacon.
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana for PS Vita. Fishing edition. Some random fishing pics I grabbed. I liked the fishing part of the game. It even slightly contributes to the story and progress if you catch them all.
Metal Gear Solid from their recent Master Collection, Volume 1. Played mostly via Steam Link and a little bit on Steam Deck. This was playing through the Japanese version (it has pretty much every version included). At this moment I think Snake's saying "that takes care of the cremation."
Here's a bonus screenshot of how this collection handles the games swap to disc 2. It does a disc flip animation showing one disc exiting and another inserting. I liked it.
And here's Johnny freaking out in Japanese.
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection, Volume 1. Mostly played streaming to my TV via Steam Link, but also played a bit on Steam Deck. I think this is an English dub of the MSX version. This isn't the NES version. It was an excellent game for its time.
Snake also seems really concerned with Christmas as you can see.
Been having issues with lots of pics and getting errors. Apparently I have to reduce the already potato quality down to even more tater quality just to get it to allow upload.
Anyways, here's more Ys II on Steam Deck. A frozen statue allegedly holds interest in our red-haired swordsman.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, Fatesworn DLC for PS4 played on PS5.
Played this game to 100% on PS3 originally. Was fun to play it again completely, and then get a bit more story beyond the original release with this DLC.
I have always felt this was an under-appreciated action rpg with a lot of great lore, fun characters, and varying environments.
The world and lore was created by R.A. Salvatore (fantasy writer), art sonehow directed by Todd McFarlane (Spawn creator), and originally funded by Curt Schilling (baseball player), and then at one point the IP was owned by the State of Rhode Island.
So basically you're getting a story in and out of the game Ha Ha. It was wild to watch this over the years come back to life with a re-release.
Note: Apparently lemmy can't handle large pics. Had to shrink it. So it gets potato quality like my previous Vita screenshots.
The best way to see the hero involves kidnapping.
From Ys I Chronicles played on Steam Deck. An excellent older game and story.
Companies truly understand the consumer.
Friends and adventurers going into the unknown together. Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana for Vita.
As a long time Steam user, while I still really like Steam and think it's the more consumer friendly platform, it has devolved greatly. Especially discussion forums are nearly no different than reddit toxicity where people exhibit their worst behaviors. I miss the legitimate discussions and love for specific games. Now it's mostly complaining and complete disregard for developers being humans.
The flood of garbage games has also been fairly obvious over the last decade. Some filters on your account handle a lot of this at least for the adult ones, but not all of it. It reminds me of the Wii shovelware era, but far worse.
BUT I would remind the Senator they STILL don't even have a fucking budget passed for this fiscal year we are already a month and a half into and they oughta stay in their lane and do their first basic god damn job before pointing at the supposed failures of others.
