As a Spaniard who comes from a place where that kind of ham is a typical food (like THE typical food), it hurts me to see how they are butchering that ham cutting it that way. I feel personally attacked.

Pity they released him so fast. Idiots like this are part of the reason the whole world is now suffering the turd presidency, so no amount of schadenfraude will be enough when it comes to them.

But McMaster denied the clemency plea. No governor has ever commuted a death sentence in the state

Just admit that you are a sadistic piece of shit living in a sadistic shithole and that it’s not about justice but about revenge and cruelty.

So much for the “true christians”… It’s sad that hell doesn’t exist. You all would be rotting there for eternity.

I am starting to consider seriously that he might be mentally challenged or showing signs of neuronal decline due to age and other conditions.

Awesome! For what I’ve heard, living near a Magastan consulate is a major pain. Checkpoints everywhere, military pressence, you can’t take pics near the area…

I’ve been doing that for years. And I’m trying to make my friends see how these things are bad for them even if they don’t pirate.

But then, Nintendo releases a new Pokemon and everyone goes “eh, I know that Nintendo is the worst, and I know they are harming the industry… but I can’t skip this pokemon game!”.

Nintendo customers suffer from a big case of Stockholm syndrome and nobody can’t convince me of the opposite.

They are probably highly understaffed. Also underfunded, and working on yearly releases.

There is reason for this: either greed or incompetence. Or both. There is no reason for game freak to keep their studio so small if not to save money or because they can’t manage more people. They have the most profitable IP in the world, it can’t be a lack of funds.

Not only. BotW was a wiiu title too, so it had to be made considering the limits of wiiu!

Something selling in the tens of thousands of millions at every release has zero reason to do better.

If any, it has all the reasons to find the lowest point in which they keep selling that much so they can cut effort as much as possible while maintaining the income.

Tis is gonna be one of the most delicious schadenfraude of all. They think they are safe, but soon enough they are going to discover how important is being a white straight able-bodied male for these fascists. And how unimportant they are outside of a bedroom or a kitchen.

Well, unless you have a way to check that every single user on the internet is not a velociraptor, it’s not a given.

I just like being clear about myself.

(It’s also very annoying when people keep calling you velociraptor just because they saw jurassic park and think they know how a velociraptor looks like)

“In free countries, like the United States is, leaders don’t get to pick who covers them day in and day out”

I love how lately, we need to clarify that the US is a free country, as if it wasn’t a given.

Oh well, I’ll keep “borrowing” my ebooks from other librarieZ.

Well, you are assuming a lot of things I haven’t said there.

First of all, I said that in the AAA world, original games are rare. They exist, but they are rare. And there’s a reason: an AAA game is made by a company that has a stakeholders board deciding what has to be done and what not (which is the reason why people say BG3 is not an AAA game but an indie). Since those boards want their money and only that, they don’t care about innovation or anything else.

This doesn’t mean that AAA companies don’t make original games, it only means that they rarely experiment and tend to focus on already succesful formulas.

Second, I never said that AAA games are just “big games I don’t like”. As I said, sometimes they do good games. But seriously, how many times have you seen an AAA company take a serious risk in what they do?

Also, I don’t think it’s just the usual three. I think GTA is doing the same. What are they gonna do with 6? Just GTA V but bigger. That’s exactly what I mean when I say that they don’t innovate.

For the record, an AAA game is a game with a big budget from a big studio. I think everyone can agree that an Assassin’s Creed is an AAA game while shovel knight isn’t.

I agree with the sentiment. People think that non 3d graphics should be cheap because they don’t understand the amount of work that can go behind them.

Take chained echoes or sea of stars, two modern pixel jrpgs with “premium” prices. If someone thinks those games shouldn’t cost their full price, they are out of their minds.

Same with shovel knight. I bought the treasure trove and the amount of fun it has give to me puts so many 80€ games to shame.

That’s the problem with many modern AAA games. They lack innovation. Since they only look to maximize profits, they stick to reliable formulas that are known to be profitable.

This is the reason why I only play indies nowadays. How many AAA studios have new ideas? Sure, we see, every now and then, a new game that really feels new, but they are rare. Meanwhile, the indie sphere cooks new things constantly. Sure, not all are pretty or good or polished, but at least they try new things!

Proton.me is their real url, but is that link taking you to proton.me?

He’s doing you all a favor. You don’t need meds; to cure the depression you just need to get off the bed, have a walk every day and smile more. Right? Right?

smh…

(just in case, /s, it’s a shame that we can’t tell anymore without announcing it)

It is sarcasm. I… expected not to have to say it but in hindsight I realize that the amount of people that would say it seriously is so high I should have added the /s
