Like that infamous bad review of a PS1 game for having A supposed clunky dogshit control scheme that is now literally the standard method of playing every videogame under the sun.
I remember that too
"Elden ring bad because is does these things that industry consensus says is wrong"
I'm increasingly convinced that a lot of people involved in the creation/development of art and media are genuinely disconnected (to varying extents)from the consumer of art and media
Wrestling is sick.
You should watch it
It's not a prestige theatre school of amateur performance.
It's running around in your backyard giggling and rolling around on the grass.
It's play pretend fun time with your mates.
We are LITERALLY playing with toys.
Get your friends together, have a discussion on how you want to play pretend together, and then you do it.
Nothing pisses me off more than the culture of play surroundings table top games that demands everyone all the time treat the activity as though it were a premier theatre experience that must be bestowed with the highest of dignity and regards at all times.
I made the jump something like 6 months ago to Linux Mint Cinnamon.
I chose mint because a) it sells itself as beginner friendly and thoroughly lived up to that, b) I just wanted a fucking functional computer again.
I have no regrets.
Nothing but disgust and shame for the Labor government.
Dogs the lot of you. Cowardly fucking dogs.
Get the sepos put of the fucking country. Shut those fucking bases down.
Utterly fucking disgusting that Labor endorses this shit. Let alone allowx their fucking bombers deploy from my fucking back yard
"No true gamer would value their time outside of playing Game"
"if say you like THING, but don't like this one hyper specific aspect of THING, theN you don't really like THING" has big "you're playing with your toys wrong" energy.
Which is also why I don not accept the position of "you can get premium in game, so it's ok to lock content" because the base assumptions behind that as a defence presupposes a huge abundance of free time.
MOST PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THAT.
*premium currency is perhaps the.moat accessible through in game play compared to most other service games, which is a good thing. I simply don't believe most people grind for these resources. Most people buy these things because TIME, IRL TIME, is limited and extremely valuable.
My takeaway is that without the redacted regiment warbond, you simply cannot engage in commando missions and expect to find meaningful success
Which effectively makes commando missions pay-to-play* content in a game otherwise very good about monetization
It's a clear black mark on the game for me
Needing to seek outside sources of information just to.gain a basic understanding of system knowledge necessary to engage in a significant degree of gameplay is utterly dogshit design.
This is a problem that is massively compounded by the fact helldivers 2 has a bit load of systems that the game flat out does.not, at any point or in any capacity, tell you about or give you access to learn about.
The base game alternative simply does not work.that way, which feels necessary given the objective types and the extreme penalties for being detected at any time in mission.
The armour perk in that warbond extremely out paces the base game equivalent version. And the way enemies path it makes you functionally invisible when wearing it so you can actually sneak into enemy bases, hit objectives, slip out undetected.
I'm increasingly convinced that the new commando missions in helldivers 2 REQUIRE the stealth warbond to actually complete.
Which is extremely poor.
The world is dissolving into an ocean of blood and fascism, I DO NOT FUCKING CARE WHAT IS OR ISN'T HAPPENING TO AN OLD MAN'S SKIN
Fucking disgusting dog cunt cowards
It's only a matter of time until Australia is dragged into yet another American war, to serve American interests.
Out government are a pack of cowards, cringing under the boot of American hegemony while polishing it to a mirror shine with their tongues.
Dog. Cunt.
Albo is a disgusting stooge for the US.
A dog, all too gleeful to aide the Trump regime in its bloodthirsty rampage at the behest of Israel.
Incompetent, cowardly, dog cunt
I find it deeply upsetting that my entire life has been defined, geopolitically, by western wars in the middle east, and continues to be so.
As a vehicle for exploring themes and building narrative through player actions.
In a lot of games, being able to do specific fun things or experience certain types of stories, you need to meet an arbitrary level of mechanical progress.
By reducing the scope of progression, and decoupling "level" from any conceptual experience Wyrm becomes more flexible
I think the thing I appreciate the most about Wyrm as a game is how it explicitly decouples character advancement from "level" progress. And how in doing so it creates a fundamental shift in approach to play form games that don't do this.
Alien dragons, black glass tombs, and magic rocks made from the blood of dead gods.
