Aw, he's moved his lover in.

What the hell is a soda fountain if not the dispenser that still exists in every fast food restaurant and bar in the world?

That article feels written by AI.

You could. But realistically how many have?

Legally sketchy is hardly new ground for him. By rights he shouldn't even be here.

All his underlings will fall in line because he's a petulant man-child.

The Vance one is the worst official picture I have ever seen.

Nothing looks right, he looks like somebody assembled his body from about 5 different pictures of other people. It was clearly taken in one shot by somebody who has never used a camera before. They spent the whole day getting Trump's shitty glare just right for His Majesty and then at the last minute went "oh yeah, I'm supposed to get a photo of this cunt too".

Now Trump allows it again and gets a load more Gen Z votes next time, despite it being blocked by the same court he appointed.

Yes, been that way from the start and is made by them.

If it wasn't for the fact that a lot of people here have a good sized Steam library, I doubt they'd have a Steam Deck either.

It's more a "bonus way to play about half your PC games on the toilet" than it is a primary gaming platform.

Somebody was playing shitty rap/drill music on the train a couple of years back.

I thought I might have to be the one to tell him, but then he made a call on speakerphone explaining to somebody that he'd just got out of prison and was looking for somewhere to stay.

I decided not to tell him after all.

The one in the thumbnail looks like it became the N-Gage taco phone.

I look at the RPGs I enjoyed and the ones I didn't and I think what I want more than anything in RPGs is for them to be fleshed out and well fitting.

If the world is too big for the story it feels empty and the side quests don't feel connected. If it's too small, it feel cluttered. It's a fine balance.

A lot of quests in games have a specified start and an end, and are unimaginative. It's 2025. I'm not bringing somebody 20 orc horns for a slightly better sword. Well, I will, but I don't want to. It just feels lazy.

I'd rather stumble across a thread woven into the world and follow it both ways to it's logical conclusion, choosing any branches along the way.

Honestly, I think "big" works against developers if they're trying to make something that just fits. When you look at something like BG3, the world isn't that huge. But once you start filling out all the blanks, it takes you a long time to get through.

Only once they evict the tenants...
