I do not understand how people can still play assassin’s creed.

Raycevick described it really well.

Yeah, it's called Path of Exile.

I'm disappointed that Minthara is the only evil companion in the game.

It's an incredibly oversaturated industry because of that.

Don't want to be shafted and taken advantaged over? Don't jump into industries that has 10:1 ratios or more between the number of people wanting those jobs and the number of jobs available, aka "dream jobs". Don't be a video games developer. Don't be an actor. Don't be a musician. Don't be an artist. Don't be a streamer or YouTuber.

If you manage to land good gigs with those, great, but don't be surprised when the bottom falls out all of a sudden because of some shift in the industry, like, I dunno, AI suddenly gets better at producing tools that make it easier to do your job.

What's a real dream job? The one where your employer treats you with respect because you're valuable and hard to replace.

What is even the purpose of this post? If you're going to be so ignorant of US history, at least don't act so high and mighty about your implications.

How do Americans still allow guns to be so easily available?

The 2nd Amendment, for one. It's a constitutional amendment that hasn't changed since the Constitution was written, back in 1787. It's also the 2nd, and not say, the 20th, so its importance is more significant in the minds of the American public than certain ones we've gotten rid of, like the alcohol ban (18th).

It requires a 2/3rds majority in Congress to change a constitutional amendment, and that sure as fuck ain't happening with today's batshit crazy GOP. They can't even keep their own party together with the right-wing crazies having fights with the extremely-right wing House majority leaders because they have the gall to "compromise", which is the whole fucking point of Congress.

Besides, all of this talk of "banning guns" is unproductive. If you want to make change, start with regulations. Canada's got a shit ton of guns, and nobody's bitching about them, because they are properly regulated.

Isn’t it well past the point where incidents involving guns should almost never happen?

What the fuck does this question even mean? Is what "well past the point"? Why would "incidents involving guns" should almost never happen? Brits have gun bans, and they still have gun incidents.

Banning a thing doesn't make it go away. I thought we learned this shit with the War on (some) Drugs. Or, for that manner, Prohibition. (Do you like gangs? Well, you can thank Prohibition for that shit.)

Who? Will Smith or videogamedunkey?

It’ll never be widespread until it’s mandatory because it’s asking the company to do work to allow players to continue playing a game when the company would reaaaally like it if you were just playing something else they make instead, something you might spend money on.

Then sue the shit outta them until it's mandatory.

Hasbro has been a shit company for the public of both MTG and D&D for years now. Even before the buyout, WotC was a shitty and greedy company, but Hasbro turned that dial up to 11 afterwards.

Here recently, they had all of those layoffs, but they were also trying to "de-open-source" the D&D 5e license agreement, which put most of the D&D community in a tailspin. The community revolted and fought back, and Hasbro/WotC caved. But, the fact that they tried something so brazen shows just how desperate for money they are.

Hasbro/WotC has also been making some terrible, terrible decisions with MTG, releasing way overpriced "anniversary" packs, messing with the frequency of standard rotations, putting out all of these pop culture media cards (LotR, Dr. Who, Warhammer 40K, etc.) with their Universes Beyond series, digging into older planes like Ravnica and Phyrexia waaaay too often, etc., etc, etc. Not to mention that they are finally at the point of porting older cards and formats from their extremely outdated MTGO client to MTG Arena, but their corporate greed is so great that they expected you to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to shift those card collections over there.

Now, they earn a profit from the biggest series they never created, and wonder why all of those other bad decisions didn't pay off.

They expect you to spend $60 on a game plus microtransactions?

I put away 50 to 100+ hours into games that cost me $15. Why doesn't everybody else do this? Does high-end 3D graphics actually matter that much to people?

The problem is that I could legit see this sort of thing at a fashion show. This is just a preview from a 60 second search.

It just keeps going...

And this review by Skill Up. And this review by RagnarRox.

I guess the moral of the story is don't listen to these shitty "games journalists" that have to crank out reviews on a daily basis. Listen to your favorite YouTube games reviewer, who actually fucking plays these games, and get their opinion.

Has anybody actually use this? The workflow seems complicated but promising, but I don't see any examples of their results.
