Also worth adding to the “you are a complete loving tool” list would be the leading game industry racist designer Manveer Heir. I skipped on buying the game just because of his association with it

All Glory unto the Stimpire. Give up your arms and legs and embrace the beautiful agony of electricity that doubles in pain every second.

It makes me nostalgic for an era where a developer's overt racism and terrible perversions wouldn't be part of public knowledge and I could play a game where a rabbit solves math puzzles for carrots without knowingly abetting the darkest aspects of humanity.

dragon age inquisition is the worst game ever made. From a budget to end result ratio it is incredible how it fails every single thing it attempts, all in the pursuit of making a single player skinner box mmo

I extracted all the entertainment I could from it, but I felt shortchanged because while I loved Josephine's interactions, I wouldn't have put her in charge of a small corner store and felt that decisions were arbitrary.

And I loved Iron Bull, so I will fight you.

Is it the road that defines our experience? Can we still know a sense of journey without context? Without the potential for ramping are we still alive?

Is space trading all about peeling away what is unessential until you've nothing but yourself and the contemplation of eternity?

Can trading contraband be any more confusing or frustrating in ED?

also I get to visit wonderful yuba city next week for work and had no idea about it

besides being the first place in america to burn down a mosque, it's also home to this lovely mystery.

quote:

On the night of February 24, 1988, a group of five young men from Los Angeles, California, United States, all with mild mental or psychiatric issues, began making lovely space games. None of them had any talent; decades later, they are still at large.

I think this isn't quite as deep a mystery as I was led to believe.

Yeah... for me it was when I learned that John Romero went from cool hairdo while making Doom and Doom 2 to the mullet he wore during Daikatana's production run.

On the night of February 24, 2018, a group of five young modules from Los Angeles, California, United States, all with mild visual or collision issues, attended a twitch livestream played at Cloud Imperium Games, Los Angeles. Afterwards, they stopped at a local market for ships and flare. None of them was seen alive again; one, Squadron 42 (born October 15, 2012[1]), has never been seen again.[2]

Several days later their Aegis Potato was found, abandoned, in a remote area of Kashyyk National Forest on a high mountain dirt road that was far out of their way back to Coruscant City. Investigators could not, however, determine why it was abandoned as it could easily have been pushed out of the snowpack it was in, and was in good working order. At that time, no trace of the men was found.

After the snow melted, in July, four of the modules were found, in and near a cabin used by backpackers as shelter deep in the forest, 20 miles (32 km) from the car. Only code was left of the three bodies in the woods, a result of scavenging developers, but the one in the cabin, Persistent Universe, had apparently lived for as long as almost three months after the men were last seen, starving to death despite an ample supply of staff and money available in the cabin. He was missing his spacesuit, and investigators found Squadron 42's script in the nearby woods, suggesting Squadron 42, too, survived for some time beyond the last night they were seen alive.

its been rumored since late 2017, especially after the battlefront 2 disaster and MH shutting down, that Disney was thinking about not renewing the license for TOR

EA reupped with Disney in 2014/2015 though and it was for five years or a certain amount of games were produced, so it'd surprise me if they pulled it before 2020

Seriously though, it's getting to the point I actually want to poke around and see how many people actually tick all the boxes on cult while trying to exclude paid shills from this. It would be a fascinating case study on the formation of a cult of personality and the effects during it's growth and eventual collapse.
