Then why play dragon age? I wouldn’t be happy if mass effect abandoned it’s fans to cater to my tastes, that’s fucked up.

Would it be better to become a darkspawn or die? Generally I’d prefer a series cater to the heart of the series instead of fuck off into an unwanted and disconnected direction.

A new era of bad games. Look at Pokemon, those games are almost always bad now, but because it’s already popular it’ll never improve or go away.

I feel like the story has good ideas but ultimately fails, personally. I like the idea of struggling against inevitable tragedy, but when the cause of such tragedy was against always immediately in arms reach of you and caused by a single person it falls flat.

Access journalism. If you agree to say whatever EA wants EA gives you first access to the next game, which increases your views. Idk the exact process for this game, but big publishers often bribe these reviewers with expensive vacations too (it’s why they fly journalists out to demo the game instead of sending the outlets a digital demo), Bethesda did it with 76 for instance.

Stupid, but maybe stupid in a good way? Right wing grifters target kids all the time, if a moderate acknowledges them maybe they’ll be less likely to fall into a pipeline.

I mean, this trailer really papers over the bad parts. If i didn’t already see the original trailer and the gameplay i could be taken in by it. That said, i did see those, so I’m just gonna watch EA put bioware down from a distance.

An idea i had that i imagine would turn out pretty well is Japanese speaking forums for westerners specifically. It’d have a buy in that no one interested in only trolling would go in for (learning a language, especially one far from English).

Some pirate coves protect themselves by requiring an invite from someone already in the community, that could work really well too.

Generally, just requiring a little work to get someplace would make communities a lot nicer.

Consoles have gone almost nowhere since the xbox, of course they aren’t going to be generating infinite growth. The ps5 controller is the first change in consoles I’ve seen in years that was genuinely interestingv outside of graphical quality. Nintendo is, of course, an exception to that. Every console they release is either genuinely different to the last or meaningfully upgraded, other business practices aside.

Well that’s another scary thing for the ever growing pile.

Anyone who well and truly enjoys their job has severe mental issues that need to be worked out. Why would someone give effort towards something that won’t ultimately reward them? It’s not their project, it’s not their company, it’s not their passion.

Lots of people just can’t or don’t get laid for plenty of reasons, shyness or some kind of disinterest does not an incel make. An incel is mostly synonymous with what you probably think of when you hear basement dweller, but inverse the elitism and with an added sexual element. extreme misogyny, extreme entitlement towards women, extreme resentment towards the sexually active, occasionally fixated on the idea of masculinity, and overwhelming self hatred.

Cultivate your community or become the nazi bar. Removing people well known for being bad is a good thing. All those other reddit alternatives failed because the dregs decided to make those places their new home and no one kicked them out, so no one that could keep those sites healthy ever came into the communities. The only time it doesn’t go down this way is when there is no other alternatives.

Side note: based entirely on that single sentence i wouldn’t let your friend into any bar of mine either, anyone who says that is either way too much of a childish edgelord or an actual horrible person.

Ew, gross

Even the gangs are more honest

Who cares? I’m more concerned if he’ll share or not

Red pill. Idk if I’m fully a trans woman, but i definitely want to be more feminine.

You are the reason I’m going to say I’m Canadian if i ever get to visit a better country

What? Pretty sure preloading shaders is the norm now

Especially memes, tbh. You can see the bots more easily when they try for humor, makes the reddit communities for it feel so uncanny.
