Does anyone feel like an actual adult?

Early 20's. I work with a lot of people nearly double my age who call me a kid (endearingly and lovingly if I may add). Make decent money and have a great partner.

I pay taxes and pay bills, I have a car and I go to work everyday of the work week. I tend to ask myself "is this it? This is what I wanted so much as a kid? This is being a grown up?"

I mean I can eat ice cream whenever I want I guess, but I dread when the actual adulting comes along. Seriously, does anyone else know when the adulting comes? Is it bad?

Apologies for the rambling, but the title question always hits with me as of late. Thanks.

Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?

I just got tired. Stopped enjoying the videos as much, and when the last big controversy happened, I realized I only watched them out of habit and not for entertainment or even the info they gave out (if it could even be trusted).

Nowadays if I need straight data or a good review I go to Gamers Nexus. Dont need a forced meme every other minute to enjoy what could be a well constructed and informative video.

What was Capcom thinking?

Reply in thread

I already clocked a handful of hours into the game, I've been lucky enough not to experience any issues at all with a high ish end system. I've been having a blast, and the game is everything I wanted it to be, but man, it's weird seeing the rest of the internet having a bad time with it.

Saw that someone was crashing on the first playable section of the game repeatedly and that blows to see. What really gets me is the mtx stuff, I don't pay it any attention and Im having a great time and it hasnt been in my face one bit.

What's really getting me down too is seeing how people are having a bad time with the game while Im having a great time but it feels like I shouldnt be. Is anyone else experiencing something similar?

Yeah I pretty much had this exact situation with Cyberpunk as well, maybe we are just lucky with our performance.

After reading your comment though, I feel like you're right about the microtransactions. While it does not affect me and my enjoyment of the game, it is a bad practice which ends up bringing down the reputation of an IP I like a lot, which is bad for everyone.

Thanks for the perspective and insight!

Which communities are you currently missing on Lemmy?

Avid Guild wars 2 player here, I really do miss being on that subreddit. Since reddit was also big, it did allow developers to interact with their players a bit more directly and was a good way to get official info to them.

In this specific case I added browsing the game forums instead of going on reddit, not much has changed except the lessened amount of ads on my screen lol.

[CBR] D&D: How To Write & Run An Old-School Dungeon

Yeah I feel you there. Unfortunately my last group never let go of the few times I used traps (mind you, in obvious tapped areas like dungeons or bandit hideouts etc) and started asking to look for traps multiple times for an area.

I do tell them that no traps are in the area as far as they can tell and that their experience as an adventurer that this area feels safe, but they insist :P.

As is the fun of DM'ing!

Vultures are circling

One of my favorite moments with one of my players warlock was when they failed their last death save during a critical fight.

Had Larloch appear in the last seconds of their consciousness and ask if they would rather break their clearly useless contract and form a pact with him.

Was cool and all until that player got up and said "Remember; dying is gay."

Ah well.
