Depending on how you define all powerful God, Fallout New Vegas

Yup same thoughts!

Just like how we don’t know what it would feel like to be dead, and we dread dying, I suppose choosing to be born would feel like death of that self that is given this choice, so I guess the question can be rephrased as “if you could die in this moment, would you choose that?”

I guess not.

EA lost its reputation but objectively they’ve been trying to undo that. Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor, while stuttery, had no micro transactions or online requirements, Dead Space remake was as simple as possible, Dragon Age ditched live service plan and was released in a very polished state, NFS Unbound just got a new update and has been well supported. The games may not be 10/10 or exactly what gamers wanted, but they’ve been trying to put their head down and do the work.

Yeah. It’s not hard because it involves skill it’s hard because your stats are low. Once you raise them up by doing things, it’s just mechanical clunk.

However I really like how this simple RPG system ties in with the story of Henry and how ordinary he is in the beginning of the story. It really makes you feel like a loser in the first half of the game and then a murdering millionaire working multiple jobs and an expert in couple of disciplines towards the end.

I remember it being a big deal, well, some deal for a brief while, that God of War Ragnarok had reused boat animations from the previous game. Similarly for Horizon Forbidden West I think.

Anyway, sports games come annually and literally feel like the same game with some adjustments here and there and they’re usually the best sellers lol, so this issue feels like a very “online thing”, or perhaps the title makes it seem like there’s a big inexcusable issue that needs a “defence”.

Shenanigans: hydra

Car: Sultan

Bike: NRG500

I absolutely loved Lies of P. I am too afraid of souls games but this was quite tightly scoped and very approachable for me (consumables were a neat solution to most of my problems). The music was spot on too!

And more importantly, it looked great and ran so well on all platforms. I can totally see them going the survival horror route, just that I feel we’ve had enough Resident Evil likes lately (even Alan Wake 2 feels like that).

Thanks again for sharing this. I’ll try to read more about this.

Of course I know how close it is, I was there. But the drills weren’t casual drills obviously, they were in response to National Day celebration. It actually made us nervous about our trip.

A side note: I’m happy to learn more and understand different perspectives, however what’s with ad hominem attacks of vibes, propaganda and all? You can share your thoughts without making it sound like a keyboard war.

Why are you again explaining Asian politics using American history to a non American? Who’s even talking about America here?

I’m aware about the civil war, and I’m aware that since then Taiwan has been able to govern itself differently. In my visit I could clearly see it myself.

None of this makes it a part of PRC. American civil war is different in the sense that the Southern dream ended and they couldn’t organise themselves elsewhere.

China literally threatened Taiwan just before my visit with their vessels. Are you sure they are peaceful with protests?

Don’t you remember how several celebrities had to apologise after they supported Taiwan.

If status quo means they are independent which they very much appear to me, then isn’t that overwhelming majority support for letting it be the way it is, i.e. not ruled by PRC? If it is ruled by it, then why did PRC bring their vessels to threaten its own people just a month ago?

Lol the graph clearly shows lack in interest in unification, even “unification as soon as possible” dropped. Isn’t that enough sign that Taiwanese don’t want unification as of now?

Keep your western politics on your side of the planet. Idk what’s with you all assuming everyone is an American

Why do you assume I’m from the west? I’ve actually been to Taiwan and it’s amazing. If you visit Taipei 101 you’ll regularly see people with flags for independence. If it truly was China, they’ll be jailed by now, but that doesn’t happen.

I try to be but I can’t ever compete with those who like to suck boots of bullies.

Taiwan is an amazing independent country with its own culture and currency.

I think the issue was precisely that. They didn’t plan for the surge of users coming in on day one and whatever cloud hybrid system they have for this game got overwhelmed. We’ll get to know about the game’s actual quality a week from now I guess.

MSFT potentially planning to bring these back?

It seems buying ABK made MSFT give up on exclusivity entirely
