Epic Store was made by the Illuminati to hide the dome over flat earth.

Alexios was fine once you accepted that you can only play him as either durpy (good) or petulant (bad). He might just be the only petulant main character I actually enjoyed playing.

You sound absolutely nothing alike. Damn my American accent!

That looks suspiciously like someone else's thoughts. How do you know?

The beard grew a Mr. Rogers.

'cause I want this to confuse you as much as it confuses me.

Far away and nearly unintelligible speech? Massachusetts.

My feelings on Steam/Epic. (Spoiler tag for language.)

Really like the Witcher 1, 2 was weird but okay, and 3 was great.

March 27th. Gearing up (pun intended) for another playthrough.

The only thing I liked more in Deadfire was the graphics and music. On everything else, I vastly prefer POE (even if it has Concern Trolling As A Character, aka, Grieving Mother). Everyone talks about the difference in writing, but for every one step forward Deadfire takes in gameplay, it takes two steps back. Adds multiclassing, cuts down on single class build diversity. Adds more skills, makes getting high skills too easy. Adds penetration system, turns armor/pen into god stats. Cuts down on universal talents, kills even more build diversity. Removes vancian magic, greatly reduces the number of spells. There is a crispness to POE's character progression and combat that Deadfire doesn't quite live up to. Turn style mode is the only gameplay advantage I see in Deadfire, and it's in beta.

And when has Microsoft ever published a shooter looter? I love it when people accuse MS of having Sony's problem of being overbearing when their flaw (especially this generation) is that they've been too hands off and let devs ruin their own games.

Last weekend I uninstalled 5 games clearing up 150 GB. This weekend I downloaded 4 games taking up 120 GB. The struggle is real.

And I killed her in the first game. (Crazy cat ladies. Ew.)

The other pig that summoned its buddies gave me far more trouble than the one with gas.

^ They misspelled Chicago.

There are people who believed in the Illuminati prior to Dan Brown, but his novels have obviously boosted the myth into the mainstream. 4chan did the same with flat earthers.

Started as a joke on 4chan and like everything that came out of 4chan it went out of control, got memed, and now there are legitimate flat earthers. Not at all unlike how the original flat earth theory of the fifteenth century started.

As I said, it'll get canceled.

It'll get canceled anyway.

DA2 shipped without a main plot. Don't get me wrong, there were things that happened, but there wasn't a unifying plot (which is why they slapped a cheap frame story onto it).

I'm glad FFXV was made if only to give LadyCrimson screenshot fodder.

Finally finished Assassin's Creed Odyssey and I'm glad it's over. Not a bad game, but with 190 hours put into it, ACO is a perfect example of why I normally don't play open world games: my OCD kicks in and I've got to do everything. Good game. I'll never touch it again.

Remember a couple of years ago when SureAI made another total conversion mod for a Bethesda property in their ongoing series called Enderal? Were you like me and interested but didn't want to go through all the trouble of manually downloading the mod? Good news, it's now available on steam as a mod. https://store.steampowered.com/app/933480/Enderal_Forgotten_Stories/

Difference is that Destiny, for all its problems, was always a good shooter with solid gameplay. Anthem's combat is just plain bad. Bad encounter design, bad environments for gameplay, really bad enemy AI, and bad quests accented with meh gun play. If I didn't know better and someone lined all the looter shooters up in a row and I had to guess which game first I would pick Anthem because it does just about everything either downright poorly or just barely okay.
