Rayman? Owned by Ubi right? Why does it need kick-starting?

That seems to be the way it goes DMing. Spend many hours planning things and then everyone cancels repeatedly because they just…made other plans on the day we usually play. Plan a sequence around a character and then the relevant player doesn’t turn up that session. We’ve been in the first act of our campaign for 7 months. Played 10 sessions.
I’m not the person you’re responding to, but I love the story. It’s one of the best sci-fi stories in games, with tonnes of memorable characters and moments.
Gameplay gets better as you go through whilst the story suffers a bit, and they have their issues, but there isn’t anything else quite like them even now.
Sounds like you don’t like open worlds. Maybe don’t play them?
Uhuh and when an innocent person is murdered by a group of vigilante morons, because murderous groups never, ever stop to check, every single one of those vigilante morons can go to prison so they can do the crime for their time. Law and order exists for a reason, imprisonment is the consequence of their actions. If they’re assaulted, that’s assault, if they’re murdered, that’s murder.
Besides. Why the fuck would you want to lower yourself like that? Why go to prison for a rapist, is it worth it? If you think so, that just means the rapist will take your life as well.

Derealisation, may want to see a therapist if it happens regularly.
Look at it this way, if the world wasn’t real and it was a simulation or something, it wouldn’t make any difference. Whether it’s a computer architecture or an actual universe or some other unknowable thing, we are less than a grain of sand in an unimaginably immense desert. Nothing means anything and everything is chaos, so the only meaning behind life is the one that means something to you.
That’s just another symptom of chasing perceived profits. If they were dedicated to releasing good products they’d understand retaining good talent that has experience working together is an important part of it.
Obviously that’s a pipe dream because they’re all vultures circling over a games publisher, picking off what they can until they can feast on its corpse, but still.
I suspect there wouldn’t be as many releases if they were only releasing good ones.
This is a false argument. They ARE profitable when they bother to try and make a good one. It’s when they fill it full of mtx and drag every aspect of the game except the enjoyment out for as long as possible to try and convince you to buy shit to make it actually enjoyable after you’ve already paid full price. They don’t get create poor games and then complain they’re not profitable enough - bad products aren’t profitable because they are bad products.
Ha, bias. You don’t need to be biased to dislike Tucker Carlson, you just need to be unbiased.
Listen if you want to piss away money on transient shit you are welcome to go and do it, but the person missing the nuances here is you. The industry moving towards these models is negatively affecting gaming as a whole and it’ll only get worse, even if you’re too blinded by tacky skins to notice the reason why.
So you’re saying that if Microsoft hadn’t hoovered up another company due to being creatively bankrupt, almost two thousand people would still have a job?
I use Flud on mobile and Transmission on PC, personally.
I don’t care about Zuckerberg’s feeble attempts to cosplay as a human whilst using it as PR to try and make himself seem like anything other than the unbelievable monster that he is. I do care that supposed news sites are doing the last part for him.
WHO FUCKING CARES. TAKE NEWS OUT OF YOUR SITE’S NAME.
How the fuck did you used to use Twitter then? Smoke signals?
Comedy Bang Bang - improv comedy where Scott Aukerman interviews interesting people, and by interesting people i mean comedians playing absurd characters. It’s been going for fifteen years, Paul F Tompkins, Jason Mantzoukas, and Ben Schwarz are all regulars, and it’s the only podcast I listen to almost every week.
Get Played - a gaming podcast featuring Heather Anne Campbell, Matt Wiger and Nick Apodaca (I’ve almost definitely misspelled or misremembered at least one of these names). They talk about games whilst being very funny - Heather is a comedy writer, Matt is occasionally on Comedy Bang Bang. It’s the only gaming podcast I listen to despite much of their coverage being games I am not interested in.
Yes just have a nice conversation with the moose to let it know of the risks, I’m sure it’ll listen.
Ha! They must have missed the billboards, front page newspaper articles, TV reports, and public service annou- oh wait.
