This mfer bragging about doing a cow genocide.

Saved me about $8,000 per status report in maintenance costs, too! Cattle ranches are expensive to maintain! The soybeans not so much, but that's just an added bonus.

(the in-game effect is that you get to substitute rice - vastly cheaper to produce in much larger quantities - for beef in the production of luxury meals)


Also, Anno 2205 is just plain pretty.

One of the major plot reveals in Doom Eternal is that the humans being killed by the demons on Earth are being sent to Doom's version of Hell to be sapped for etheric energy which powers the true antagonist's entire race of beings, and my only question when presented with this was "wouldn't it be easier to just set up a human soul farm in Hell so you don't have to get them from Earth"

Exploration is ill-advised.
Demons are barely capable of fighting threats against themselves without turning on each other for friendly fire, you really think they'd be able to manage that?

RDR2's auto-horse-travel cinematic cam is really funny because it doesn't disrupt the auto-horsing unless you hit a button on the controller no matter what, even if something important happens on the way. I let the game autopilot me to a collectible spot once while I got up to make a sandwich, and when I heard shooting I poked my head back in to see Arthur and Horse barreling through a wooden bridge surrounded by like 10 guys who expected him to stop so they could try and rob him in a scripted event.

This happened to me, once

Doing a side mission where I have to kill a drug smuggler for and they really want you do kill the,m instead... I recruited them. And the game even had a line ready for that.

So this is a spiritual sequel to The Phantom Pain, then.

I hate how Ubisoft release a game that's extremely My poo poo right after being revealed to be terrible.

The storyline of Runas in WoW was, perhaps, the greatest thing they've written.
course, the little side stories are almost always waaaaaay better than any of the garbage they put out in the "A" Story

Yeah that’s the thing with WoW, there’s good individual quest lore and NPC dialogue and they make fun cutscenes, it’s just the overarching storylines they gently caress up consistently.

Potentially breaking thread rules since it's technically a big thing, but my childishly underdeveloped brain is very entertained by the fact that the ginormous Zeus statue in AC Odyssey's intro area has a meticulously sculpted dick, and there's reaction dialogue for when you go climb up onto it.

Every time you write code that would create realistic cat behavior, it starts ignoring your edits and batting other code off the table. Computer scientists call it the Purroblem.

Look, with all that development work going into making sure you can always pet the dog, something had to fall by the wayside, and it turns out it was the cats.

I'm enjoying AC Odyssey at the moment as well; the horse is the most aggressively off-road 4-leg ATV I've ever ridden, none of Bayek's horse whinnying and balking at the mildest of scree-covered slopes, gee up there and it's like a 60degree incline :allears:

Also lol at wildcat attacks where the cat latches onto a soldiers back RA-RAWRRR and they run around in a panic.
