Too many folks still firmly believe either:

A) “spare the rod and spoil the child”
B) I was spanked as a kid and I turned out ok, so it’s fine

Sooooo…you’re trolling, then. Good to know.

No, it makes perfect sense. It’s along the lines of Clarence Thomas siding with getting rid of Affirmative Action even though he was a recipient of it. It makes perfect sense once you remember conservatives think they are special, and live by “Fuck you, I got mine.” They got theirs, and they do not at all care that people coming after them can’t get the leg-up they got.

Yeah, I didn’t notice the date until after I had posted it, since I hadn’t heard about it and the post on Mastodon I got it from was posting like it was new, so I didn’t check. By then, folks had started commenting so I left it up. Ahh, well.

Really appreciate the insults, tho.

Just imagine how much they charged that family to decapitate their baby.

The irony here is, this isn’t even “local news” to me - I’m not from Ohio and I haven’t lived in America for 20 years.

Did you intend to link you the video you mentioned? Because I’d like to watch it.

stopthatgirl7 OP , 11 months ago (edited 11 months ago) to gaming in Baldur’s Gate 3 is Causing Some Developers to Panic

My counter to that is the last 2.5 BioWare games - I say 2.5 because Dreadwolf has been in development for ten years total now and still isn’t out. Andromeda was in development for 5 years. Anthem had money galore thrown at it until it came out. Too many devs, not just BioWare, are wasting years of development time because they haven’t got a clue what they can feasibly make then rush to get things out the door.

Instead of making excuses for why gave dev is the way it is now - a way that isn’t working - maybe look at what Larian did right and ask why more studios aren’t doing that. Early Access is normal used by indies with overinflated budgets? Well, why aren’t larger studios taking advantage of it or using systems like it?

The new normal for a have to be developed is turning into 5+ years, and there’s no excuse for the hot messes that have been coming out lately.

stopthatgirl7 OP , 11 months ago to gaming in Dragon Age: Origins walked so Baldur’s Gate 3 could dash

Andromeda was a mess, and not for the reasons most folks like to ding it for. It was both trying too hard (all those references to other games, like Conrad Verner’s sister and Zaaed’s son) and not trying hard enough (all the copy and paste rule of 3 quests to find three MacGuffins then SAM will figure out how to find a location for another fight).

Andromeda was frustrating because they had a lot of potential - I almost wish had had just truly been bad instead of mediocre. Mediocre is more of a letdown.

stopthatgirl7 OP , 11 months ago to gaming in Dragon Age: Origins walked so Baldur’s Gate 3 could dash

What’s got me worried is how they’re basically trying to copy God of War for the combat. That kind of hack and slash gameplay is not what I want from a Dragon Age game. They’re chasing trends and that rarely goes well.

You’re right; it’s not world news. That’s why I didn’t post it in the world news community, but in the news community.

Perhaps you’d prefer to follow the world news community instead of the news one, if that’s specifically what you’re looking for?
