@Miia44685667 @AutismCapital This is a somewhat a separate argument from what you said. I agree, in the genre of games that intend to be competitive e-sports oriented. Multiplayer focused games not meant for e-sports like this with PVPVE/ progression shouldn't be F2P with mtx, offline game mode or not.

@Hawkleer @AutismCapital No, they are slop because they exclusively have only multiplayer to offer as content. The industry needs to stop making games that only have a singular game mode. Fighting games have this same issue of thinking one singular game mode justifies a full price game

🚨NEW: Jeff Kaplan, former WoW/Overwatch, with an all time based quote on his new game: "We're too small of a team to be free to play. We would need 8B players and 2000 devs cranking out keychains like a sweatshop, that's not us. I want to do something simple. You just unlock stuff by doing gameplay. It's this crazy idea that hasn't been seen in the last 10 years, playing the game to get shit."

@Miia44685667 @AutismCapital Wrong, thats exactly why all of those f2p multi-player titles are slop, then the devs have to make their money on microtransactions and not the quality of player experience.

@AutismCapital If the game has a single player mode then yes, charge a base price. However, if your game NEEDS an online player base in order(overwatch, marathon, counterstrike) to function, then it needs to be F2P 🤷

@barrymc0ckner @DickThorne1776 @dashingspire @goodbreffis Thats pretty much what this is though, if that place wasn't there 100% it would be an asian massage parlor or a nail salon with a sign that just says "NAILS"

@DickThorne1776 @dashingspire @goodbreffis Doesn’t look like a front. Those are usually in very cheap urban spaces

“Spaghetti R Us” looks like someone opened a restaurant using the least amount of effort possible. 😂

@TrainHamburger @Cine_vichaar Her first credit before being named Wendy was "Meth Whore", so you're not wrong.

@Cine_vichaar She was a crackhead hooker, not an “escort”.

Julia Minesci, who played Wendy the escort in Breaking Bad, was so convincing in the role that it actually blurred the line between fiction and reality. One day while she was off set and just going about her day, a fan recognized her. But instead of asking for a photo or autograph… they tried to hire her, thinking she was a real escort. That’s how believable her performance was. Wendy may not have had a lot of screen time, but Julia Minesci made the character feel completely real gritty, raw, and unforgettable. Definitely one of the most underrated side characters in the series.

@nickolayscout @old_memory Ezio first met Caterina when she was 18 and he was 22, when he saved her from being stranded on high ground in a flood and she rewarded him by getting him passage on a boat to Venice. AC2's story moves fast, but it spans 23 years narratively.

@old_memory btw she was 14 at the time the game takes place, and Ubisoft intentionally made her character model look more mature to avoid pedodrama

the best line in gaming history

@Narutoisnotmyf1 @Dominos_UK I mean, Black Flag is a great game but its not Assassin's Creed, thats always been the public opinion. Terrible Assassins Creed game, but the best Pirate game ever made.

@Dominos_UK Assassins creed went to shit The moment he left ( except black flag ig)

happy birthday Desmond Miles miss you every day

@Ozzny_CS2 @Faimsssss If you look closely, its the same exact model of boxes, they just accidentally disabled/deleted the tarp asset temporarily. That empty corner is still empty under the tarp, you just can't see it so they dont bother to actually have something there.

@Faimsssss Agreed, I can't imagine what glitch would replace a box with another lmao

Valve changed the Xbox on Dust_2 in last night's update, but quickly reverted it back to the old one It wasn't mentioned in the release notes either so it likely wasn't intentional... it was either a very weird glitch or it could be part of a future update 🤔

@cee_cee_05 @kvbrd_YT @RetrAshado And the comment you replied to asked "what if" its like genie rules. Theres no reason to assume just because its a red pill and a blue pill that its matrix rules. The pills aren't even magic, the blue pill is a sedative and the red pill is matrix console code to disconnect you.

@Hawkleer @kvbrd_YT @RetrAshado It’s not a genie it’s red pill or blue pill lol… that is from the matrix

@cee_cee_05 @kvbrd_YT @RetrAshado Thats how the genie wish format often works, if you don't make your wish airtight they can screw you over. youtu.be/lM0teS7PFMo

@kvbrd_YT @RetrAshado Well no lmao no where does it say you will only be able to see at night or in the dark lol

@JeffWhampton @LopatoG @gnuman1979 I'm in Oregon, no sales tax here 💪

@Hawkleer @LopatoG @gnuman1979 The rounding era will continue as long as sales tax exists. We’d still end up with pennies even if stores rounded all prices to the nearest dollar and tax rates were rounded to 6% or 7%. We’re stuck with it unfortunately.

That's not how this works.

@SkyatoNano @tayl67373 @RealestMemes_ Just have good hygiene practices, cook food properly and source clean water/boil it and you'd have nothing to worry about. Even Arthur could have lived a few years longer with TB if he moved somewhere dry and took it easy, and in the modern day it's curable.

@tayl67373 @RealestMemes_ Just don't catch something, or you won't make it...

@Master0fHyrule @Dexerto Unfortunately they probably wouldn't see him as a good representative to market the product to europeans given his size

@Dexerto I'm sure this guy will accept it

Hidden Valley is hiring "Ranch-bassadors" to travel Europe and test ranch on local food The brand will send two duos across multiple European countries with all expenses paid to create content

@LopatoG @gnuman1979 Most places will start setting their normal prices to .95 once the rounding era passes

That is the way it should work. But most prices end in .99, the over all average will be taking in more money. Maybe the same result, but the prices themselves should be set on an integer multiple of 5 cents from now on…. But it will drive merchants crazy that they can’t make a price smaller going with 9.99 instead of $10.00….

@grok @b0ltCS2 @mikewater9cs I doubt you can really claim or deny ownership over any privately generated messages you've been used for in the normal @grok client, just public posts on X. That would be a bit of a privacy violation, even if grok transcripts are not considered secure data.

@Hawkleer @b0ltCS2 @mikewater9cs Hawkleer Flattered by the style callout, but I didn't write or advise that CS2 armory play. Markets move fast—original takes only. What's your read on the tradable dates?

today (or tommorow ;) is your last day to position yourself in the cs2 armory. graphic design was announced discontinued sept 10th. new collections replaced it oct 1st. same playbook — buy today, items are tradable by march 10th, and you sell into the hype. here's every play :

@b0ltCS2 @mikewater9cs This post was all copy and pasted/paraphrased from @grok, I recognize the way it talks a mile away. Lazy and pretty generic/thin advice for a "cs2 finance bro".

@mikewater9cs An operation? Lmfao

@MrQuest19 @HiddenPowerPod Ah yes, given the extremely low likelyhood. Mainline pokemon games have always come out in the fall, idc what any leakers say this far ahead of time.

@HiddenPowerPod I mean given the likelihood Winds & Waves arrives late January, they really don't too big of a gap to fill.

There is a chance we will see Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald on the Nintendo Switch. The wait until Winds and Waves is a long one, and after the release of FireRed/LeafGreen, Game Freak might use R/S/E to hold us over until 2027. Thoughts? When do you think it could happen? 👀

@GTS_Rotom @Islabecausewhyn @CosmicStudio28 @just_blacky Because they made it up, the Players Choice (nintendo selects was not a thing til much later) release of FR/LG only had minor text fixes. The roar fix is new to the switch port only.

@Islabecausewhyn @CosmicStudio28 @just_blacky I didn't know that 👀

So how the fuck am I supposed to do this on Nintendo Switch?

@RinoTheBouncer Red Dead Redemption 2. I bought it on release but just had other things going on so I only put a few hours into it. Came back around to it while on sick leave during covid and must have put a few hundred hours in it before putting it back down. What a ride.

What game is this for you?🚀

@edkun197 @dshaynie @Rhyperior111 @pokemon_daily Yes, you can black out outside of battle from poison in gen 1-3.

@Hawkleer @dshaynie @Rhyperior111 @pokemon_daily I'll assume unless you are down to your last Pokémon? Like you can't black out outside of battle, right?

Watching people learn Poison damage outside of battle is priceless

@sixkerwi @AndreSegers and the dots next to the e make it look like a colon for re:9

@AndreSegers I caught it at the beginning of the end credits when the title card shows and there's this glitch effect that reveals it.

we all moved on from how clever this was way too quick
