I mean, when you’re being treated more fairly by your employer, you may not consider that forming a union is still necessary in the inevitable event that they rug pull those benefits at some point.
And I’ve got nothing against miners (other than standard environmental concerns), but when they keep voting for the people that strip away every small gain their ancestors literally fought and died for, I stop having sympathy.
Also, what on earth are primarily West Coast based tech workers gonna do about miners in the Virginias? There’s an entire continent between them.
I mean, for years and years, even after the dotcom bubble, developers have been able to get crazy high salaries, job security, and tons of other perks. Now that that’s gone, at least they’re doing something. So many other professions just rolled over and let the businesses fuck them (looking at you, every industry from Virginia down, especially mining)
Edit: the comment I’m replying to says “tech workers”, not just game devs. Game devs have unfortunately always been the poorly treated little black sheep of the tech world.
I do wanna point out that one of the Horizon games (I believe the second) got pretty screwed by releasing within a week of Elden Ring and didn’t suck. Publishers big and small do need to be careful to not release within a time frame of absolutely massive releases such as Elden Ring and, inevitably, GTA6.
Even if the game doesn’t let you play on release day, I’m willing to bet my kidney that it’ll sell millions of copies and nothing big will be released within a month of it
Panam is the other romancable character. If you do her entire side story (which is quite good) and choose the right options throughout, you’ll have the option to romance her near the end of the game. She’s only attracted to characters with a masculine body.
The romances in general are very easy to screw up. You lock yourself out of several right at character creation unfortunately. Here’s what you need for character creation to get each romance:
Judy: Feminine voice and body Kerry: Masculine voice and body River: Feminine body Panam: Masculine body
As long as you meet the requirements, you can romance 2 people in vanilla, though there’s something at the end of the game that requires you to pick one of them
You also need to do their side missions, but you meet each of them in the course of the main story. There’s also 4 romantic encounters that sadly don’t go anywhere serious.
You can get it on with Meredith Stout, the militech lady who threatens you near the start of the game. If you don’t insult her, you can get another mission from her in act 2. There’s also 3 encounters that can happen, but those are potential story spoilers
Can you tell me what you liked about it? I’m not a fan in general (looter shooters like that just aren’t my thing), but all my friends are, and none of them have ever had a positive thing to say about 3, with opinions ranging from meh at best to absolutely awful. Hell, even the guy in our group who unironically loves bad games even had nothing good to say
Why’d you bring up tem tem specifically? It’s supposed to be “Pokemon but an MMO”. That’s the entire appeal. I had Pokemon loving friends that played it at launch and loved it dearly. It’s sad that it’s died, but if you want a single player version of tem tem, there’s about 22 Pokemon games according to Bulbapedia. Go play one of those.
The mod for artificer is excellent! It’s a touch unbalanced, especially if you take the correct infusion, but overall I had a ton of fun with it last playthrough!
Do be aware that if you go Battle Smith, the “upgraded” robot you get in act 3 doesn’t auto navigate well. We’d get across the map and he’d still be chilling at the blushing mermaid. The basic robot also struggles on navigation, but not nearly as badly
That’s fair.
I also can’t blame them for ditching WotC ASAP. Their legacy properties feel like pump and dumps lately. Take a look at how many magic sets released in 2010 compared to today. Then their reportedly “backwards compatible” 5.5e isn’t gonna be backwards compatible at all, and despite a decade of feedback, they still managed to fuck up more than one class completely. Bank of America dropped their ass for extreme product fatigue.
I wouldn’t want to bet my company’s future on WotC. I wouldn’t want to bet my worst enemy’s future on WotC’s.
Definitely sounds like an interesting concept. I can also imagine some people seeing it as developers not actually making a game, instead getting their community to do the work.
I think maybe letting people design a building or block at a time, then doing voting and integrating the winner into the game could be a neat way to go about it
Agreed. If CA charged a few bucks for the 1.6 update, I’d have bought it without hesitation. Same with 1.5.
The best example right now is Factorio. There’s a new expansion coming out in October. It isn’t free, but it adds basically an entire new game on top of an already excellent and fully fleshed out game. I’m gonna buy it the day it goes on sale without question and without waiting for reviews.
Then there’s crap like Starfield where they added 1 mission for $7.
Slay the Spire is current $8.50. Starbound is $4.50 (both are on sale rn for future readers) if you’re looking for a space game.
Fuckin oof
