It sounds like the complaint are more about bugs and performance than it not being a AAA title. I mean, there are loads of indie games that are popular around here. Heck, I just dropped another chunk of hours into Underrail. Hopefully it will get worked out during EA.

Honestly most of the pumpkin spice hate I hear is about the pumpkin spice beers, so yeah, I don't get the tweet.

Like a moderator of some sort?

It's looking pretty good! I wonder if they are going to implement NPC's anytime soon. The cinematic trailer was cool, but coming home to some people is not actually in the game unless you play multiplayer, I think. I need some company. They don't need to dance around in bikinis like in Conan, but it would be nice if they can manage the stove.

That's always been my thinking. But people like to point fingers instead of solving problems, I suppose.

I'll have to pick that book up when I'm looking to be depressed. I'm joking, it looks good.

Wot? edit: I'm guessing the simile he used was confusing. He is comparing education to ancient astrology.

I'm not sure you need ADHD to have unreasonable expectations in your life. Also, the opposite of this is being told you are an unfocused spaz. Or just being put on meds that dull your mind. So yeah, sorry you need to see a therapist because people believed in you. *roll eyes*

Firaxis is a decent sized company, so I expect they are also developing Xcom 3. If this Marvel game is near Chimera Squad quality, I'll probably be pretty happy. Ghost Rider did seem like an off fit with that bunch, too. But maybe that's just because my last memory of him was a Nick Cage movie.

I do love passing the long lines of cars trying to get out of town on Friday afternoon. The drive typically takes 45-60 minutes, so not really a time saver, but it is a lot more rewarding. I sweated my ass off today though. My water bottle went hot 5 minutes in, so it felt like I was gulping down lava to stay hydrated. Still beats driving.

I rode my triathlon bike to work today. It was 60 degrees out and I was flying. It took me an hour and 20 minutes to cover the 28 mile commute. But now it is 94 degrees, the air quality has dropped because of fires, and I need to figure out how to get home. I'll just take it easy. I also need to stop for a bite to eat, since I didn't get lunch. So I will probably be slow pedaling it home.

It's going to vary pretty widely by region. But the quote about working hard for the properties always cracks me up. Like, do you mean that other people aren't working hard to pay rent and just get by? Circumstances play a huge role in how you go from zero dollars to multiple properties, and it always amazes me that people can't be reflective of that. But, as the BLM lady in the article said, that is the issue with privilege. It makes people uncomfortable to recognize their privileges.

I don't know, I've seen some super exciting ones over the years. But it helps that the Giants have won all of the ones they have played. I like the idea that more teams are in the race late in the season. I also remember the Giants winning 103 games one year and missing the playoffs, so I'm happy to have a wildcard. Honestly the 5 game series bothers me too. It is super short.

Anything can happen in 1 game, so I'm not going to bet on that.

Yeah, I think I'm done with early access titles. I'll check it out once they finish it, which could be a couple more years.

Geez, I must be getting jaded like you folks, because both the X-MenCom game and Saint's Row didn't really spark my interest either.

Jaded people don't make youtube videos to get attention.

Llyr still pops up on the computer and console area every once in awhile. Nickiam really was a different person, btw. I played Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with both of them back in the Xbox live glory days.

I do like that these movies have moved away from the save the universe storylines and are more like "Dr. Strange messes up a spell, hijinks ensue."

Toxic guy complains about narcissists, news at 11.

I have no idea what was happening in that trailer, but it seemed exciting.

This weekend I played the heck out of Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. I had played the original back in the day on a console and enjoyed it a bit, but never got close to the end. The sequel seems to be even better. It was on sale and I was looking for an escape, so it was good timing. I was surprised to find one orc sarcastically talking to me with Kumail Nanjiani's voice. He died, but I almost felt bad about it.

Unfortunately I think that is one of the less likely options. I think I read he was a bit burned out on Eora. Couple that with PoE II not selling well and Avowed being the same IP, and I'd say it will be a longer stretch before we see PoE III. But I do expect he will return to the franchise down the road.
