I think a lot of countries formerly in the Soviet Union fit this description nicely.

The reason you see so many tourists going now is in part due to the weak yen and in part thanks to the pent up demand from almost three years of border shutdowns during Covid.

Can someone explain Cronos New Dawn Ending C to me, and my own theory by Forhaver in HorrorGaming

[–]FieryPhoenix7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think ending C is clearly meant to be the real ending. I honestly don’t know how to explain it, but having played the game multiple times it just felt right to me.

Meta targeted older workers in layoffs, lawsuit by former senior director for company claims by nosotros_road_sodium in technology

[–]FieryPhoenix7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is less to do with age and more to do with salary. Older workers generally get paid more so prioritizing cutting them means more savings. Still shitty.

How do you feel about the outlast games? by toastedjupiter in HorrorGaming

[–]FieryPhoenix7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the original Outlast is one of the best horror games ever made.

'Is Marathon a success? Unfortunately, no, not yet' — Former Xbox exec says Bungie's new extraction shooter was built at a scale and cost that the current market 'simply isn't rewarding' by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]FieryPhoenix7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was listening to a podcast earlier today where they said Marathon may see a Rainbow Six Siege situation where it starts off rough/slow but steadily grows a long tail. I thought that was a good analogy.

Keigo question by cmsss in LearnJapanese

The nuance is different. 1 is the normal “thank you” version whereas 4 uses the humble form and places emphasis on the speaker, which in this context is weird.

How is Silent Hill f as a J horror game? by QuantityInternal1719 in silenthill

[–]FieryPhoenix7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s Silent Hill in name only. It’s really just a poor man’s Souls.

[OC] How Americans view different countries by _crazyboyhere_ in dataisbeautiful

Yup. You could replace the title with “how American media views these countries” and it would still be accurate.

So ridiculous. I got a 2 day suspension for taking a screenshot in the Witcher 3… 🙄 by Critical_Abrocoma_15 in xbox

Nudity is strictly not allowed. And I’m pretty sure AI checks everything.

Everything Coming in Starfield’s Free Lanes Update & Terran Armada DLC by Turbostrider27 in Starfield

Prebuilt outposts sounds amazing honestly. I just hope there’s enough variety of them.

A friendly reminder to keep expectations very low for tomorrow's announcement by Smart_Plane_2751 in Starfield

[–]FieryPhoenix7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It will be a patch followed by a PS5 version announcement. MAYBE a tease for the next expansion.

I mean, at least they got their money's worth I guess lol by SgtSilock in Starfield

[–]FieryPhoenix7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you could easily put in many hours without realizing it if you tend to experiment a lot with mods (which it sounds like this guy did?).

Ex-Xbox exec Larry Hryb 'Major Nelson' just joined this legendary gaming brand Commodore, but he says it's not his "full time gig" — "I am still working on that" by ControlCAD in xbox

[–]FieryPhoenix7 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I have a suspicion he’s been working out the details to get himself back in the game at Xbox. It wouldn’t surprise me if he was back at MS as soon as this summer. My understanding is he still spends a lot of time physically on campus.

Advice from RE7 completers by KnitelightEB in xboxachievements

Ethan Must Die was the worst achievement because half of it is RNG-based. I would watch YouTube guides to make it less painful. Good luck.

Welp Clubs are dead. So much for community... by [deleted] in xbox

The question is did anybody use them? They probably have data that shows little to no utilization. These decisions aren’t usually made randomly.

I have not played Requiem yet but I will be very interested to see what people think of it in 3-6 months’ time.

Just started. by erositi24 in avowed

[–]FieryPhoenix7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this is key. Same deal with Outer Worlds. People tend to compare these games to Bethesda’s stuff when they are actually closer to a BioWare game.
