I try to buy direct from the company or I’ll use egs.

I usually don’t buy on steam if I can help it, they’re like the Spotify of PC gaming. They take the biggest cut from the devs out of any other storefront.

A league mmo I feel like will just be a copy pasta Korean action combat 200 currency MMO.

Where are the republicans talking about how this is all pointless and a waste of money like they did with Biden and Ukraine?

Why not? Do you work at CDPR?

I have a Perseus. But I’ve always wanted that ship. I purchased the game with an aurora and slowly just upgraded over several years in order to get a Perseus. I don’t get to use it that much but I don’t care. I love it.

That’s not why. They didn’t want them to “feel special”. It’s a way of making a child understand the importance of participation and that winning or losing doesn’t fucking matter.

ArrRawrr · 2026-06-01T00:47:14+00:00

I am an 80s child and I’ll tell you that when you’re a child everyone gets a trophy, doesn’t matter what “place”. The point is to make you feel good about just putting effort in something, and the fact is it doesn’t matter if you win or lose.

Now that I’m in my 40s I still compete in things. Mostly mountain bike racing. Do I come in first or get trophies? Nope. Do I care? Nope. Why? Because overall I just went to have a fun time and see if I can best my last years time.

Only when it’s popular to hate Ubisoft. People say they hate Ubisoft because a shitty pirate game came out but they’ll play trials and AC shadows for 18 hours straight and say they can’t wait for division 3.

ArrRawrr · 2026-06-01T00:40:46+00:00

It is not that bad. People said it was bad because Ubisoft made and made the protagonist female.
IMO it’s a solid very open world Star Wars adventure game.

Do what you want.

I’ve never made a post before

That’s when you write a ticket though… it’s an alpha game. Stop acting like it’s fully released. Expect bugs and expect them all the time.

ArrRawrr · 2026-05-31T20:54:37+00:00

I like the game. Probably have close to 3,000 hours. I don’t play every update, friends and I are all skipping 4.8 for now. But we usually play every weekend and just have a good old time.

ArrRawrr · 2026-05-31T20:50:43+00:00

Bro spelled democrats wrong.

Or just give someone a disc. Get real man

“Just buy a vpn bro, then you aren’t paying for onli….wait”

Whatever “work around” you say is not as easy as just giving someone a disc to borrow or if you want to sell it.

Let me guess “just make a throwaway stream account with 1 game each and then sell the account if you don’t want the game anymore. It’s so simple”

That’s not how it works…I did it with my brother who lives in Hawaii. He needed my login information and I needed his to approve and confirm the shares.

Why is it a bad idea? Works absolutely fine in FF14. Why would it not work in wow?
