Can we just skip to the eating billionaires part? There are clearly some lessons that need to be made so they may be learned.

What an excellent little film.

I'm worried about the possibility of more violent ends, but in reality I think you're dead on the money. After the orange turd kicks the bucket we are going to waffle back over to "normal" where we are only getting fucked over quietly, rather than right in our face.

I imagine him as a very useful tool at the moment.

...because he's a tool, you see.

I loved the hero evolution maps where you would spawn in as a ghost with a fucking zoo of different heroes available to choose from. Then you would spawn in the world and have a heroic adventure not unlike a very early attempt at WOW. That game got so much mileage off custom maps.

Man, Arkane is not sitting in the position they were before. I'm glad they're doing this, but I worry that this is only going to get more of their studios shut down.

In Texas this makes the scientists the tiny brain's mother.

Why does anyone tolerate Russia's bullshit? Sanction them to the stone age.

It is the news media's responsibility to report the news, not provide solutions.

You may consider what it is you're looking to get out of an MMORPG before you just jump in. Speaking as someone who played MMOs for about a decade (mostly WOW, but several others as well), you would be surprised how insidiously that type of game can alter your habits. Also, MMORPGs could be absolutely mind numbing at the height of their popularity, modern MMOs are so heavily streamlined that I would argue many aren't even all that fun to play anymore.

I'm not saying MMOs are bad, or that you won't enjoy them, but maybe just think about what the fun you're seeking looks like.

 

Y'all, Helldivers 2 is just so much fun. I would not have assumed at the beginning of 2024, just after completing Baldur's Gate 3, that I would be championing an always online squad shooter - but this game is just so damn enjoyable. Furthermore, the community has been so engaged and invested in the spirit of liberty that it's made me prioritize a style of game that I thought I had mostly left in my past.

Now we're in the middle of this huge nonsense with PSN and it has completely sucked all the air out of the room. I understand why people are upset and I don't agree with the shit that Sony is trying to pull. I just want to keep this magic going.

I don't have much to say other than try to maintain some empathy for Arrowhead, as this seems to be out of their hands. They genuinely seem to want to just make a kick-ass game.

Keep up the good work Helldivers.

 

Arrowhead has been curating the game with a Game Master named Joel. Everyone thank Joel for giving our missions that human touch.
