al-azad posted:NOLF hasn't aged well, being released in a post Half Life world where people hadn't figured out how to balance shooting and storytelling, but it's characters and world building are still leagues ahead of every other FPS even now. And it sucks there will never be another one when people have learned how to make singleplayer FPS games fun again. Contract JACK ditched everything and made it a straight shooter but that game is baaaaaaaaaaaaad. yeah nolf's writing is def generally better than a lot of modern shooters. though that's more down to modern shooters having really bad writing, while nolf at least makes the barest attempts at having characters and sometimes its characters have dynamics. that's something even a lot of story-based fps games tend to gently caress up, somehow tfw titanfall 2 is probably one of the better written fps games just because it has two characters with A Fun Dynamic

Watching someone playing through Yakuza, I find it increasingly difficult to believe Kazuma Kiryu has never killed anyone. But I suppose he's just that good.

He’ll leave people a crippled mess, stab them, gut them, smash their skulls, throw them off buildings, run them over, but they still breathing.

Daaamn I can't remember what I did when I last had an eczema flareup because that was only for a few years when I was maybe around 10 years-old, but I remember cold compresses making it a little easier to suffer through. Admittedly, my eczema was solely on the backs of my hands, but it was bad enough that my skin had cracked open and was bleeding. I don't know if a warm shower or a cold compress would give you much relief given that you're on so many creams at the moment but I hope the creams and antibiotics and steroids do their job and help get rid of it as soon as possible.

TOOT BOOT posted:I think being a game developer as a career has enough downsides without having to walk on eggshells around idiot children. I read what (I think) was the whole twitter thread and the dude she barked at wasn't disrespectful or rude at all, he was just offering constructive criticism like "oh wouldn't it be cool if in GW2 you had more dialogue options to customize your character" as gamers do and then continued to be nice even as she popped off on this huge unnecessary lecture. Probably shouldn't have lost her job over it, but it wasn't a good look imho.

I've been listening to the Mass Effect 2 soundtrack while drawing the past few days and all my memories of this game are coming back. I'm kind of upset because I want too play it again but I know I'd just end up frustrated with where the series went.

the only thing i remember about the mass effect soundtrack is that album those white internet rappers put out about the series like a decade ago if i see some asari winkin i am headed that a way / some turian is mad at me because i took his gal away

Every time I Celeste I end up tensing up my neck to the point where it gets real sore which is something I'd never really experienced myself but my dad always said that's why he quit video gaming in like 1980 as Space Invaders was that game for him. I feel like I have to beat this game for my family's honor now.

Hello chat thread! I'm excited that the goon game jam is starting today, I'm excited Octopath Traveller is coming out in a week (even though who knows when I'll get a Switch), I'm excited about getting near the end of my second Final Fantasy V Four Job Fiesta run, and I'm excited I bumbled into some place called Ash Lake while cursed and am eating it repeatedly to a hydra (never played Dark Souls before). Dare I say it, games are good! sharrrk posted:BREAKING NEWS!!!!

And if she were a community manager then maybe there would be more of a case for termination Like this is literally hours after posting that that she was reportedly sacked, unless there was something else behind the scenes this seems like a extremely summary dismissal and another example of devs treating labor like poo poo by immediately appeasing a "partnered streamer" by sacking their salaried employees

It looks like Arenanet was possibly influenced by pressure from the Guild Wars 2 subreddit who immediately went into overdrive internet detective mode and dug through Price's Twitter for anything they could smear her with

I don't know why but for the last few months sometimes I wake up with people calling my name. Sometimes it's a hush, sometimes it's a familiar voice, sometimes it's a desperate scream, and it's always specifically and only my first name. Today it was my father's angry yelling and I actually got up a bit scared before remembering we haven't talked in years.

Anyone who has to interact with the general public should practice saying "that's some interesting feedback, I'll take it into consideration" in a way that really means "gently caress you." It's good for your well-being!
