I was banned from lemmy.ml for posting a meme about the fact that gay characters are removed from movies in China. Not even by a mod. By an admin. I'm not remotely surprised they're pro-shitheap in general

I take offense to this. I have a little dick. I don't destroy everything for everyone around me while shitting myself violently. I say he has Caillou energy. Arrogant, narcissistic, hideous, an abject freak, a mistake granted legs and will hopefully suffer from a terminal illness.

Fuck Caillou. Fuck Steve Greedy Pig Boy Spez Huffman

"Stupid fucking foreigner thinking my bread has a dick..."

Listen, I'm gay. I have a reputation to uphold.

Thank you for the laugh and the opportunity to make a joke <3

Been playing the closed beta and I know it's a beta but the game releases in 7 days. Not a whole lot you can do in that time.

The game is still really unpolished and feels jarring. The opening section has you in a rather large vessel but the thing turns on a dime. Only water craft able to turn like that is a jetski and even that didn't have the super tight turning radius this thing did. There was also no time in turning. It felt really jarring, especially when Black Flag did it so well.

The voice acting of the characters you start with is extremely uninspired. I don't blame the actors but the director who decided this was okay. It's so jarring and disconnected. Characters aren't even consistent on pronunciation of simple things.

The combat is hyper simplistic. It's just hold left trigger to aim and then hold right trigger to fire. A quote I said to my buddy while playing was "Huh. My pirate ship is fully automatic." The cannonballs just kept firing more and more until I needed a reload, then more and more. Everything is bulletspongey and nothing visually seems to change or update to sort of reflect the damage that you're doing. Most vessels you fight against have multiple giant red boxes where the helm is located and those boxes are explosive and almost guarantee a one hit kill. It just feels so basic and simple and boring. When you complete the opening battle and get your own small craft, you start getting attacked by sharks who are leaping out of the water to attack the boat. Not you. The boat. Because that makes sense. And you have to attack and kill the sharks by throwing harpoons at it, also super simple point and click. Think the fish fight in Resident Evil 4 Remake or even RE4 OG.

Walking around on the ground is painful. You can't sprint, for a start, and the character will either keep walking for another few feet when you stop or suddenly stop. This leads you to getting used to the trail so you stop preemptively and end up 5 feet away from the thing you need to do, forcing you to start walking again and that animation is also way too long.

One of the locations you have to go to at the start is called 'West Island'. I'm sorry but how simple and boring do you have to be at the start of the game to just lazily call it West Island because it's in the west?

This game is awful. It's a patchwork disaster which is only made more concerning by that article saying that the third creative director just left the game before it even launches.

Imagine advertising to the world how weak you are mentally that you attack people who aren't here to defend themselves by throwing insults behind a computer screen

Dude I wish. Do you know how many of my posts have been reported for 'viral' or 'guerilla marketing'? As if there's someone out here paying my fat gay ass to post a random meme about fuckin Dennys. I genuinely got a screenshot of a report saying as much about a post of mine yesterday.

I would gladly shill out, you fuckin kidding me? Daddy desperately needs new clothes. The last clothes that I bought that weren't underwear or socks was a pair of pants 5 years ago.

Thanks for adding whiny bitch energy to a meme with your helpful comment

In the first Metal Gear Solid there was a character named Psycho Mantis who had a lot of psychic/mind reading gimmicks. One such way of doing so was to input read everything from your controller and blocking all of your attacks. Another way was reading your memory card and talking about the games you play, name dropping them specifically and talking about genres. All of that is really clever on its own but to get around his input reading you had to plug the controller into the second player slot as he wasn't able to read that "mind".

I think I’ll be switching back.

Not possible. The reddit that you're longing for died a very long time ago. Subreddits are entrenched into their positions and will only berate you and bash you if you go against that grain.

What you're describing here isn't lemmy. It's the internet in general.

Edit: Ohhhhhhhhhhh. This explains why you don't want to be here. It's not that this place is an echo chamber. It's that you're petrified of logic and fact.

Use one time? Please. I want to ride that thing so much it develops sentience just to escape from me. If I had the money I'd buy it in a fucking heartbeat and have zero regrets. Alas I have already purchased my Christmas gifts for me and even if I saved all that money it wouldn't add up to one of those dildos. I am what is known as extremely fucking poor.

It was put through the American Legal system. There is absolutely zero reason to believe that the justice system of America actually contains any justice in the first place. Of course they sided with the international corporation to fuck over a disabled 50 year old.
