I am glad we can agree that the Chinese government is trying to weave a false narrative that all of that has been instigated by mysterious western powers working in the shadows and as long as people stick to that they will be perfectly fine.

Don’t care about what the yankees have done tho. Don’t know what’s that about all of a sudden.

echoing a bit of recycled propaganda from the 1990s.

Excuse me, I can’t follow. What do you mean by propaganda?

?

Not yet?

Friendly reminder that Ubisoft has a workplace environment somehow worse than Blizzard and their CEO protected his bros who sexually harassed coworkers. There is absolutely nothing of value lost when that company goes belly up.

Officially? A bunch of bullshit. Actually? Guy got more likes.

Or, get this, they are just not interested.

It might finger your belly and blow your tits clean off, but: 99,9% of people go to the gym to train and then fuck off home again.

I never really thought devs misunderstood that. They aren’t the problem. Do the same survey with the publishers.

The only times I went to PvP I only did so to complete some quest, and I only did so with lots of comfort food available. It was a horror show every time. As a pure PvE player, I got pissed off too many times when Bungie nerfed my stuff because people in PvP got upset about something AGAIN.

I don’t like it when people call developers lazy. It’s bullshit 99% of times. So I think the problem was with the players themselves. We (including myself) showed the higher ups at Bungie, that we would still buy the next season, the next expansion no matter what.

Your other points are also true. It reminds me when D1 was at its best in the year before D2 was released. All quest available, all weapons and exotics obtainable. All raids returned in an updated manner with their weapons, gear and even some shiny shit you could put on your stuff to sparkle more.

I left Destiny 2 roughly 2 years ago and I don’t miss it. Fuck that clusterfuck of an addiction made video game. It’s not even the good kind of addictive like Factorio. It just pisses you off and you still keep playing.

Absolutely. Looks like a project that didn’t get the rights.

I actually liked time tracking. It’s when reality went out the window and my imagination took over.

Only if “tech tutorials” were a thing in the Olympics. I swear the gold medal would never go somewhere else.

I tried to recruit a friend of mine but the moment I tried to explain instances to him, he zoned out. I wouldn’t call it non-user friendly, but it’s not as simple and dumbed down like other social media is.

Also roughly a year ago there have been a couple of articles thrown around on Twitter and certain subreddits which wrote about CP stuff going on on Mastodon. So the Fediverse had some bad press. Which is rich coming from the site that allowed people like Violentacrez to fester.

What the fuck? How did I never heard of this let alone his name?!

Yeah I’m off Destiny 2 for about two years now. Felt like detoxing from a drug ffs. But one of my favourite memes was the community accusing Bungie of stuff, Bungie denying said stuff, then Bungie admitting doing the stuff.

Good times. Don’t miss them at all.

Bungie, a studio which has been under fire for years by fans for lacklustre seasons in Destiny 2 - the only game they were working on, fired 250 people after firing 100 last October, now happily announces they are working on Marathon, more Destiny 2 stuff AND a mysterious third game so Sony can finally get that sweet, sweet live service game.

I don’t see a problem here.

never felt the need to go back

I see what you did there.

You motherfucker…

Don’t feel bad for blocking the worst offenders. Lemmy is small enough for that option to work quite well. Which is the best you can do. Being ignored drives them crazy.

Absolutely. It has been my most played game on steam until end of last year. Then Factorio took the lead.

FUCKING FINALLY!

Like I mean, fuck!
