The problem is you can’t go back to that well repeatedly. We’ve played the first two games. The unknown is pretty well known at this point. It’s like monster horror movies: none of the sequels are any good unless they pull an Alien/Aliens and switch genre to action.
Some review bombs are for legit reasons. I’ve seen a few for games that dropped support for a language well after release.
Of course they are. They literally allow you to ignore all of the most difficult game mechanics. With a great shield you literally never need to time dodges. As a mage, you can easily do ranged damage, so you don’t need to time your attacks or worry about positioning. Using a summon means the boss doesn’t even attack you half the time, and some of them are so powerful that they can beat many bosses on their own.
It’s actually a far better difficulty system than the standard “the game mechanics are the same, but enemies do less damage and have less health” system that most games use.
It has difficulty options. They’re just not in a menu. If you want to play on hard mode, use fist weapons and never summon. If you want easy mode, be a mage carrying a great shield and summon every fight.
Was it supposed to be funny? I thought the joke was that he was a terrible hackneyed comedian.
Eh, maybe after they added the NPC icons to the map. At launch, there was basically zero chance you’d complete any NPC quests on your own.
Nah, they’re obviously gearing up to push Newsom in 2028.
3am Waffle House hashbrowns after a night of drinking. Smothered and covered, of course.
This would be my guess. Most of the polling showed her hurting Lake more than Gallego.
Yeah, as long as it it’s one with 2+ network ports. I use a little 4 port with pfsense loaded on it for my home network.
Because the DEA doesn’t have the legal authority to do that. Congress laid out the criteria for scheduling drugs in the Controlled Substances Act and any reasonable person would say marijuana meets the criteria for at least schedule 5. Congress needs to do what they did for alcohol and nicotine and pass a law that specifically excludes marijuana.
You don’t need to be an expert to say “that’s blurry and looks like shit in comparison”.
Ask yourself if getting mad actually helps the situation. Is it going to get the problem solved any quicker? Does it make you feel any better? No? Then what’s the point of it?
Pretty much all decent sized electric motors have a start up capacitor. They need an extra bit of energy to build up the magnetic fields, overcome static friction and accelerate the motor up to the operating speed.
The issue is less that it will make you sick and more that you’re likely eating a potent carcinogen. Many of the molds that commonly grow on food produce aflatoxins.
Trans fats. Every processed food was full of the things until the mid 2000s, when it was discovered they were a leading cause of heart disease.
No, but the whole point of Doctorow’s Enshittification essay is that it inevitably will. In the same way animals keep evolving into crabs due to convergent evolution, social media companies will keep turning into shit because the market incentives push them that way.
