I’ll never understand Snickers marketing towards being hungry. It’s a fucking candy bar. I don’t want a fucking candy bar when I’m hungry.

Ys X Nordics

The year isn’t over. Playstation does this too. Are they stupid?

Bring back Far Cry 2 you cowards!

You set out to accomplish something and everything goes wrong.

Also Far Cry 5 is the worst entry, overrated, and Far Cry 6 is overhated.

Game was so boring, so slow, so clunky, so bleak, I never made it that far. Tried twice over the years. I want to like it. It seems great, but then actually playing it becomes a chore quickly.

I mean. It’s a post. It’s also shit.

Or these are all apps to demand your time and effort to input information constantly and have to remember to care, all while being notified, reminded to do things, annoyed, tracked, and used.

No thanks.

Ani, have you always been such a whiny bitch?

Donating is idiotic. End of story. If you donate to anything, you’re a moron.

My childhood. I don’t understand people who do. Mine was mostly loneliness, confusion, trauma, emotional neglect, guilt, shame, some abandonment, some physical abuse, etc. Every day has been a step towards better than the previous. I don’t want to or miss anything going backwards.

Pull the stick out? I love history and thought of what you said as well and those women ARE remembered, but for a fleeting forgettable moment in a lemmy forum, even I had a laugh.

Read more history, even just the last 1-200 years. Really dig in to the shit they don’t get into in school. What you’ll find is that times have always been “troubling” and if anything I think there’s a selfishness some people have when they always focus on somehow NOW is the worst time ever and NOW is when things are terrible and everything good will somehow end.

Honestly, whatever you think is “troubling” nowadays probably isn’t even new or the first time. But so many people don’t understand just how fucked up all of history has been and yet people and countries and cultures survived.

If anything, life today in general for most is far better than in all of human history. Due to advancements in technology and medicine, most people don’t have to worry about basic survival things the same way they might have even just 100 years ago.

“tongue punching the fart box” and “Renaissance” in the same sentence.

Bravo.

I have played every Far Cry since the first. In my opinion FC5 is the worst. Boring setting. Far more mundane and repetitive than the others. The forced kidnappings were annoying. The ending was meh. I think FC6 was a refreshing change.

Personally Far Cry Blood Dragon is the best overall. The Vietnam DLC for FC5 is also excellent, even though short. FC4 is also great, and has a truly unique setting and was a lotnof fun with the gyro copter and Yeti. FC3 is good and fun, but it’s overrated.

FC2 I think is the best FC in a spiritual sense. For all its flaws, it truly set out to implement a unique concept the other FC’s have forgotten… that is you set out to accomplish something and everything will go wrong. You were supposed to be frustrated and overthink things. The setting was cool, the story was effed up, and the buddy system was kinda neat.

All Far Cry’s suffer from underdelivering on the story. So much potential with the villains, yet barely seen. People who brag about how cool Vaas is seem to forget you only see him like 3 times, he’s gone by like mid-game, and he wasn’t even the main villain.

I am shocked the lifespan EU4 has. I played hundreds of hours of it on my (melting) laptop in college a decade ago. I’d let it run a bit while studying in the library, and kind of make slow moves and changes between studying things.

Heh. I love Ys, and yet EVERY SINGLE TIME I am initially disappointed, and I have to stick with it, and it eventually gets insanely good.

Just how Ys games are I guess. With Ys X I went into it knowing this and really overlooked a lot and told myself to ignore my criticisms cause I’ve been through this rodeo like 6 times now. 50 hours in, yeah it’s awesome. The story especially.

I don’t hate Monstrum Nox like so many do. It’s refreshing they will always try wildly different things.

“I read this online and so now I repeat it online to others to seem smart and give myself a smug sense of satisfaction.”

The same one that was installed on people’s devices without their knowledge or consent? I think you’re avoiding the real issue there.

My issue is that most mom & pop shops suck. Local places often have horrid customer service or business practices and are run by people who have no business running businesses. Very few are legitimately good.

And it’s not just where I live now. This has been the case everywhere I have lived.

It’s why I hate the blanket “support local” bs.

They’ll fuck it up.
