The bike lanes suck though. They are next to the street, instead of behind the parking and next to the sidewalk. As a result, on the main street in Hoboken (Washington street), there are always cars double parked in the bike lane during the day or drinking hours of the night, because parking in that city is horrendous. It’s common to see an entire block or two full of cars double parked in the bike lane, making it unusable. Also, they redid the bike lane with textured hexagonal bullshit so using any wheels smaller than e-scooter wheels (skateboard, roller skate) is just a super rough ride.

Great that he stopped pedestrian casualties, but he severely harmed personal non-car transit.

You don’t get it, the 13th time they remake the first gen games, then it will really be different.

I’m so glad I found persona/SMT to scratch that same itch but with actual depth, difficulty, and variety.

What an awful thumbnail. I wish dearrow existed for unfurled links.

I mean yeah it’s selfish, but it is definitely righting a huge injustice:

There is literally no customer centric way to watch these shows, or most modern media at all. Where can I literally buy shows that I can then resell. Where can I get a subscription service that’s focused on giving me the best content possible and not trying to squeeze value out of me by influencing what I watch or selling my metrics or up selling me to a bigger plan after killing the previous plan or any number of other dark practices. Where can I buy DRM free offline files of these shows so I can watch them on an airplane on my own hardware without Internet?

It’s fucked up that there is literally no way for people to buy their entertainment and not be fucked over more for trying to do it the legal way and spending money. And piracy needs to exist as a breaking point to stop these companies from getting even worse.

WTF does “dead genre” mean? There are still people that love it and play it and want more.

The people shouting at blizzcon aren’t yelling because they need a new model and voice lines for protoss units, they are doing it because they want another RTS

This looks like a bad 15 minute Photoshop job. Why does she think it was AI? Where is the proof AI was used?

Or is this just more news cycle bullshit trying to throw in the latest controversial keywords 🤔

For a deeper look into the way modern MMOs are changing with regards to player interaction, this is a must-read paper

The minis are bad. They make which tile is the entrance less obvious. They take more space to store. They hide tokens behind them.

I like the look of the tiles but they are nice, not better.

This is like a worse version of the shikoky refresh: they tried to change very little but some things they did change harm readability. I prefer the original.

But they already changed it from $0 to 0.2, how do you know it won’t be 10 dollars next year after you’ve already spent 5 years making your game?

What if you only were charging a dollar for your game and people like it so much they install it 5 times over the year? Easy to do with multiple devices or reinstalling OS’s

The problem is unity is forcing this on people who may have spent years and lots of money entering into a different kind of business agreement.

Gaming “journalism” is shoddy, low quality, biased, and untrustworthy. Every bad game coming out of a big studio will get dozens of 10/10s. Not even talking about starfield, but just every botched release.

Using gamer news or review outlets as a source is useless.

The people that are saying good things about it seem to be people that don’t play that many non-betheada RPGs so don’t have anything to compare it to, or are just excited for a space theme. People that are playing high quality RPGs like persona 5 or baldurs gate are not happy with starfield

This was going to happen whether Starfield was a masterpiece or complete garbage.

But as expected it wasn’t either just a subpar game that a large number of people think it’s a 10/10 GOTY contender

It’s the same game as the last several Bethesda games, no need to play it to criticize it.

But even watching a few streams and videos is really enough to see even the harsh criticisms are putting it mildly.

I think you mean pressing buttons in menus to teleport across the galaxy

He didn’t call his list “the most complex games I enjoy”. He called his list the 10 most complex games, which it absolutely isn’t. You’re ignoring the reality of what he published.

“Some of the average games that are a bit more complex” is a useless arbitrary list.

By your own criteria, that list had none of the games over 4.7 weight with more than 100 votes on bgg

None of these games are even remotely close to the most complex board games.

The campaign for North Africa is by far the most complex game, being as it was created specifically for that purpose and nobody has ever managed to even complete a singlr game of it.

Behind that are dozens and dozens of games in the 18xx genre, which is a giant cluster of rules from bespoke stock market operation details to complex route profit calculations to natural disasters and a million other things. Games can often take 8+ hours.

After that you have the entire hex and chit wargame genre, which will have tons of complex rules for combat, tables for looking up results, a million classes of units, and usually many rules that are included not even for game design purposes, but just for historical accuracy.

This is an awful click bait article just designed to get views for a more casual audience with popular well known games.

The average car transports 1.2 people

They are literally the #1 selling video game in the history of the world.

If that’s not enough, the world is fucked.

As a gamer and (almost) audiophile, any solution besides wired is just dancing around tradeoffs to get a worse result for more money. I’ll stick with my cord.
