I've basically just stopped buying AAA games at this point. They are invariably worse quality than indie and AA titles and filled with microtransactions and other predatory bullshit, and the icing on the shit-filled cake is that by buying them you are legitimizing this kind of behavior.

There are just so many good games to play across so many genres that there is no reason whatsoever to buy them, and buying indie games you can feel good about supporting a small dev.

It is especially upsetting to see this news because I remember playing a crapton of Bad Company 2 with my friends in school. All of us got BF3 on launch and played it to death. 4 came out and I know people really liked it but to me it wad just an overly streamlined 3, 1 was cool but a bit too arcadey for me, 5 had no soul and 2042 was clearly just a joke. I hate seeing franchises I loved die through corpo bullshit but there's plenty of other, better, tastier fish in the sea.

Game comes out on March 3 and has a fairly sizable demo available out right now. And the save file will carry to the full game.

It's fairly obviously super inspired by Disco (there are even 1-1 analogs like a wall painting you can talk to) it is very fun and has a charming silliness to it. I'd highly recommend it.

Great. Europe is enabling the US and Cheeto Mussolini madness.

Should I play the first first or is starting with this one ok?

I used to be very anti-card game but Inscryption was very fun and I'm trying to branch out to some stuff outside of my comfort zone. Any other recommendations for card games?

I have a feeling somebody mixed bleach and ammonia and gassed themselves and their coworkers.

You've clearly never known any severe alcoholics

Edit: I'm sorry, I didn't mean for that to sound snarky. Severe alcoholics tend to have flushed cheeks and a lot of the time the rest of their skin will be red as well. If it is very bad their skin will darken and it will look like they are bruised at all times.

Other signs include being sweaty as hell constantly, and even if they haven't been drinking around the time you encounter them you will literally be able to smell the alcohol through their skin

Source: I have a family history of alcoholism on both sides. Not that I'm straight-edge or anything but alcoholism absolutely terrifies me and I can barely manage a full glass of wine.

He is presumably still going to blame the "radical left" and the Biden economy. Everyone will know its complete bullshtit except for his idiot supporters who will eat it up.

Had this article pop up in my news feed last week or smth like that

If you read it you will notice the absurdly named Hitler Louis has a partner named Innocent Benjamin lmfao. It reads like satire.

Are scented candles bad for birds? I didn't realize. My parrot isn't affected by them it seems.

Edit: well no more scented candles for me it seems

Mostly uber eats/Doordash etc drivers but really anybody

Absolutely rampant

Driving in Philly is already enough of an ordeal without people doing this.

Use them for other things?

Saving this thread so I can show it when any conservatives try to defend this administration.
