Lmao shit like this still surprises me that major cities like Guangzhou, this is near Guangzhou East Railway, have toilets that can't handle poop.

I tip I give everyone before coming to China is find a local punk or metal band and spend some time in the mosh pit. It helps with the subway a lot

I bought my girlfriend in high school a ps2 because it dropped down to $99 and GameStop had a special that let me get a new ps2 with 3 used games for $50. Like a year after the ps3 came out

Could be a plant from another country. I'm an overseas English teacher and I've seen that with local teachers quite often, as well as some Russian teachers.

Usually a sign of bad ESL teachers

This is why I'm pretty excited about killing floor 3 adding community servers and a server browser by the end of this year. At least we the community can shoulder the burden of hosting the game ensuring we can always play it

This article aptly captures the real state of Japanese game dev right now. For years, companies have prioritized outsourcing/contract hires because of fewer legal obligations. But as this piece describes, it also lets them skirt around layoff laws by ceasing to contract that external work at all.

They went with tencent for funding.

Now if you miss your dailies you're likely permanently locked out of stuff

Even then you have to make it better than good to steal people away from other live service shooters. All live service games are jobs. You have to play them or you miss out. It's not like 2005 where you could play 7 different shooters by taking breaks between them.

It's because their active player count dropped to under 1k in two weeks

That last part is truest statement. After a couple of months of Linux on my laptop I'm debating reinstalling windows for software reasons

Even then it said you could uninstall core features including the AI

That's what I was waiting for but I'm not buying a ps5 for it. Maybe in 3 console generations when the ps5 is like $50

04.03.2026 13:55 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

And just like that I'm no longer buying their games

To be fair I wouldn't listen to her simple style either.

Do I think it's appropriate to publish an article like that? No. I think it's pretty funny though that people are willingly to call out china's bluff now. It's funny watching the ๆˆ‘ๅ›ฝ people stammer for excuses right now

Less so daring and more so calling a bluff. China has been talking about how the US is too afraid to attack Venezuela and Iran because of China's military strength since I've moved to China. China has also told both countries they'd fight the US for them but haven't

04.03.2026 12:17 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It's also pretty alarming because china just supplied Iran with their latest defense systems after Venezuela was hit, which was also supposed to be using the latest.

I'll give myself credit. This is a decent logo.

I'd say it's a good one

It was such an issue that MMO sites like warcry had to issue an official statement that they would only talk about upcoming MMOs if the publisher didn't have more than 3 in and works at that time because there was no point in talking about a game that will die in 2 months.
