Red Dead Redemption 2

It's the same old Rockstar formula of having you travel back and forth over the map just to do a normal mission and falls short of giving the cowboy fantasy everyone touts it as being. They added enough detail that your horse's balls shrink in the cold but made it so easy to get money that whilst your merry band of outlaws are complaining about how little they have, I struggled to find more things to buy with immense hoards of cash. And the bounty system doesn't work. And the multiplayer was total ass. And part way through the fantastical cowboy simulator, it adds goofy sidequests of time travel and robots. Rockstar couldn't decide what to make the game so they tried to make it everything, leaving it lacklustre.

So you also like it? You disagree with everything I said… including the part where I said I don’t like it? It sounds like you just want to be antagonistic.

If you're deliberately misinterpreting what they said like that, you're the one being antagonistic.

As ever, no negative consequences at all for Discord.

They're not but there's no recourse for it.

I don’t want the kids not to get paid.

That's the end result of ensuring that working on a project like this is a career ender, though. If you want to send the message of "I don't like this and won't watch anything with those people in it ever again", you're making sure they don't get paid again. They would need to find a different career.

A major roadblock would be making it user friendly enough for the average person to be able to use it as well as an online help community that doesn't treat newcomers like shit.

These ads for VPNs are starting to get over the top.

Emma Watson is older than Joanne when she first published; it's so creepy that Joanne is desperate to infantilise her.

The child actors would have already been paid, boycotting the show isn't going to negatively affect that.

What's far more important is the attention and subscription economy. Whatever platform is streaming it, unsubscribe from them and tell them exactly why. Don't talk about the show. Don't endorse watching it, don't discuss with people how it did XYZ different from the books or whatever, fuck the whole thing off. Don't even bother pirating it. Let it fizzle out like a fart on the wind. They're going to pump millions into trying to get you to watch it and you're going to spit in the face of all those executives desperate for your time by refusing to do so.

'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

[–] Deyis@beehaw.org 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What's infuriating about this is there already exists forms of ID to verify your right to work in the UK and people employing people without the documentation to prove their right to work in the UK don't give a shit whether they have the correct documentation.

This is a complete waste of time and money which can be better spent elsewhere.

The United States meddling in the affairs of South American countries? What an entirely precedented state of affairs.

I have an upcoming trip with an extremely long-haul flight so I'm looking to pack my Steam deck with as much as I can to try to make it more bearable.

 

My expectations were low and I still feel disappointed.
