They mean gamers of old. That is, currently old gamers, but back when we were young, and had time, and not a lot of games to fill it with, so we appreciated a longer game.

Current young gamers have vast libraries of games to choose from, and shortened attention spans due to social media.

Daggerfall was like this, if I’m not mistaken (I got into TES with Morrowind, and I’ve never found the time to play the older games).

The map was about the size of Great Britain, and mostly empty, even if it had about fifteen thousand locations spread about it.

I don’t usually kink shame, but if you consider boobs on a male corpse presenting presumed avatar of a Forgotten Realms (ex-?)god of death “fan service” you’ve got some seriously weird kinks, dude.

They’re not celebrating “whatever”, they’re celebrating modding.

Stapling unnaturally large breasts on characters where they don’t belong is stereotypically one of the first things modders do to games, so making fun of that seems like a perfect way to celebrate modding (as long as you’ve got any sense of humour, which Larian most definitely do).

Well, Star Citizen is playable right now (and has been for years), and they recently showed over an hour of supposedly live Squadron 42 gameplay (obviously somewhat spoilery for the start of the game), so there’s some hope at least…

Of course, it remains to be seen how much more of the story is finished to the same extent, and at what point will it be consistently playable on contemporary hardware (I haven’t played Star Citizen in a long while, so I’m not sure what state it’s in, and I don’t know if Squadron 42, being a single player game, will be as susceptible to server issues, or if it’ll even need servers), but it gives a good idea of the state of the main game features and how it’s intended to feel.

The. Fuck.

We’ve been digging holes for millennia without this kind of shit. These days tunnel boring machines practically do the job by themselves without needing to put anyone in danger.

Is Musk intentionally trying to do this thing in the worst, most inefficient and dangerous way possible in a nostalgic attempt to emulate his father’s apartheid emerald mine or what…!?

The more I know about this arsehole the less I wish I knew about him, seriously. At this point the only thing I want to know about him is that he died of haemorrhoids.

when cancer rates skyrocket

Radon?

Doesn’t matter, the doors wouldn’t open anyway, they lock up when their cars catch on fire.

Why do these bastards keep dying of old age instead of exploding haemorrhoids as they should…?

Sid Meier, obviously.

Not really, it’s just free publicity.

Unless their product is shit, of course, and no one would pay for it after trying or recommend it to others… in which case, fuck them, they deserve it for attempting to sell shit.

Senile lunatic tilts at windmills (though in a much less entertaining way than the original).

“I wasn’t watching porn while at work, I was looking up where to find porn to watch while at work!”

I remember when eDonkey and later eMule were brand spanking new… It took quite a while for BitTorrent to gain enough traction (and for me to get fast enough internet) for it to be better… (and, frankly, I still miss eMule’s Kademlia network’s peer to peer search capabilities…)

Aren’t they kidnapping children for “reeducation” and whatnot…? I think that counts as genocide…

And even if they weren’t (currently) doing it in Ukraine they’ve been doing it elsewhere, like in Chechnya…

And, well, genocides, pogroms, and whatnot have been a Russian tradition for a long time… Ukraine in particular still remembers Stalin’s holodomor, and the deportation of the Crimean Tatars…

Hell, if there’s such a thing as unintentional genocide or genocide by incompetence they’ve probably been doing it to themselves for centuries… “… and then things got worse” and all that…

we are so tolerant and super chill

No we’re not, fuck off.

You’d be waiting just as long… and you’d be charged for every single second.

I just replaced “red balloons” with “little drones”.

The song has always been about world war three being triggered by a silly innocent little thing, and the English version is almost as old as the original German.

We do have another senile hollywood “actor” in the white house, though…

(As for the perfidious Albion… as much as I despise that witch at least she didn’t pull a brexit on them… luckily I ain’t afflicted with being British, so I’m not up to date with the extent to which they are fucked, but from outside things are looking about as bleak as when she was infesting the place, though thanks to brexit the effects seem to be more contained to the isles, at least…)
