The fact they are in contention after 4y is evidence enough they mean jack shit for either side. Once they are codified into law they lose value in attracting single issue voters like you. I reiterate, from the outside looking in, same same. There’s a reason even though AOC saw good congressional results personally, her district swung wildly red for the presidential results. I just can’t wrap my head around backstabbing Bernie to nominate a female Kissinger for an election and 8y later you’re still paying the price. There’s no left in the US, just far right and further right…

No u

Lol, quite literally this week Biden went back on his word on the export block of weapons to Israel. From the outside looking in, there’s no difference.

Not only do you not know what Goodwin’s law is, you took time to reply to a worthless take? How little do you value your time and opinions that you’d go out of your way to deride mine?

Deadnaming is NEVER ok, even if the target is a cunt like jenner.

You could only vote for fascists. One personable, one arse-hole, both as fascist as they come.

Lol, that’s rich coming from an enabler of genocide.

I refuse to click links of articles written from Grayson, a “journalist” that even on the niche games reporting field managed to break every single item of the journalism code of ethics https://www.spj.org/ethicscode.asp

Boycott bloggers stealing jobs from real journalists.

Beyond inflation woes, we can thank the CHIPS act and similar for this. Biden basically waved a wad of money to European tech companies to de-localize and even staples with decades of history like CDPR took it, laid off a shit ton of people in Poland, and opened a studio with subsidized employment in the US.

Keep it, 1000€ for a console is a ps3 level cunt move. The clear concessions done in the design of the hardware indicate the price point of this was much lower in the design phase destined to compete with the X-S combo. Sadly, MS gave up the hardware game when their clear dumping attempt didn’t work as expected and we’re now left holding our dicks while sony tries to dig their claws in our wallet.

Just remaster Origins, it was lightning in a bottle, every single one since Origins has been a disappointment. I’d likely pay to play it on the steam deck.

You may :)

What centrism? Calling out the bourgeoisie invented themes to distract from the class struggles is the duty of every reasonable person, more so if they are on the left. Human rights are not debatable, you vote for the representative that abides human rights. If none is available, you start a revolution. What you don’t do is use a neoliberal dear to proselytise as if you’re not part of the problem by perpetuating the system that abuses the people you’re soapboxing about. (you, as in, Bioware, not you, this is not meant as a personal attack, I came to lemmy to talk to reasonable people)

Means someone cited gamergate where it makes no sense at all.

Being preached by a game company owned by EA is like being preached by actors at the oscars. Gotta love the bourgeoisie proselytising. (edit -at)

Every time I say the horseshoe theory is stupid I open a forum and am proven wrong…

The game has no DRM, it’s entirely possible that a significant portion of those players gave it a go and were disappointed and decided not to spend the money.

Personally, the game feels like a Josh Whedon film written by a team that prefers to proselytise instead of trying to capture the player in Thedas. It’s a constant barrage of immersion breaking dialogue from the get go. The combat has been dumbed down to such level that It should be advertised as an action adventure game and not an RPG. At the end of the day, the game ostensibly suffers from Bioware’s/EA choice to lay off talent like Mary Kirby and hire cheap, fresh out of college writers of dubious competence who were further mismanaged due to consistent lay offs. This was compounded by the reluctance of Connie to actually have a vision for the game.

It’s saddening because there was a small glimpse of brilliance in the final moments of the game but by that point it had already become a chore to finish it.

As a side note, my favourite game of the last few years is TLOU2. Sometimes the user reviews coalesce with one’s views, sometimes they don’t. Trying to paint tens of thousands of people with a broad stroke rather than at least listening to what they say is unfair. In this case it feels like the low user scores in DAV are warranted, since the game has significantly departed from the expectations of fans of the series. Conversely, in TLOU2, the users were mourning the loss of their favourite character and lashed out.
