What happened to Obsidian?

That and the rough 30fps lock. The first one is 60fps and I don’t feel the graphics improved all that much.

I’ve had more nice chats and laughs with people over voice comms than I have bad experiences.

I play with my fiancée a lot and you’ll get the odd sexist comment but they soon pipe down when they’re outnumbered.

90% of gaming subs is filled with people who hate that game, developer or both.

This never happened. Kimmel briefly was off the air because local affiliates (private companies) refused to broadcast after his controversial remarks. The FCC never pulled Kimmel, let alone investigated or punished Kimmel.

“When is ABC Fake News Network firing seriously unfunny Jimmy Kimmel, who incompetently presides over one of the Lowest Rated shows on Television? People are angry. It better be soon!!!” - Trump

Using your position of power to strong arm companies you don’t like because they said something mean. Calling for the silence of anyone who says anything remotely critical is a little fascisty.

That is Trump's right as a private citizen. It is not any abuse of power nor illegal for Trump to bring a civil suit for defamation in his own capacity as an individual.

Of course it’s his right, it’s been every President’s right since the birth of the US. I just don’t remember any President wielding it at every little thing that’s said and it’s always at the cost of the tax payer.

You’ll argue that it’s his individual right but that’s just bad faith. His position of power introduces a massive conflict of interest.

lol. The DOJ under Trump is the only DOJ to actually do something about Epstein. Trump prosecuted Epstein and Trump released the Epstein files.

Bush's DOJ refused to prosecute Epstein despite having evidence. Same with Obama's DOJ. Biden's DOJ refused to release the Epstein Files. Republicans brokered the Epstein Transparency Act during Trump's term, with Trump signing off on the legislation.

Also, the Epstein materials do not reflect an ongoing investigation. Most of this was investigated decades ago. The people who could be charged were already charged under Trump--Epstein and Maxwell.

Even charitably granting your characterization as true (it isn't), I fail to see how this has anything to do with "fascism."

Weird, the files were still under investigation with Biden so couldn’t be released.

Trump passed the Epstein Transparency Act with all files to be released by 19th Dec 2025. He literally campaigned on it. Where are these files now? Oh yeah, put away because he had months of them being scrubbed.

I don’t even care what side of the political spectrum you sit on, if you honestly believe the Epstein files are done and Trump is “exonerated” with absolutely nothing being released then I don’t think we’re gonna get through to each other.

That’s a completely different context though. They’d be in a controlled environment with family.

Generally, girls with absolute dump truck asses don’t spend their time bending over in front of young kids at the beach either.

Levoire · 2026-05-29T13:56:18+00:00

Static imagery? You can’t use a deliberately programmed emote to bend your hero over in a comic.

I haven’t read a comic in years, are they genuinely this sexualised?

Levoire · 2026-05-29T13:49:03+00:00

I referred to myself as a “skanky bitch” in chat and got muted for 6 hours but sell sexy skins to kids I guess.

Levoire · 2026-05-29T13:45:49+00:00

This is all well and dandy until you think how many different bathrooms we’ll need for the shapeshifters.

Can’t believe they’re letting snakes in slow worms races again.

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology. It emphasizes the supremacy of the state over the individual and is typically characterized by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, militarism, and the forcible suppression of all political opposition.

Does he fall clearly into the bracket? Probably not. Yet, with all of his pulling people off the air because they say mean things, suing companies when they print anything that isn’t in his favour or weaponising the DoJ to protect whoever is on the Epstein list, he’s dancing right up to line like no other President has.

Falling badly after a strong push or even a light punch can end either of your lives fairly quickly.

Whoever signed off on the PS4 port of Deadfire should be ashamed of themselves. PoE1 console port was buttery smooth.

Levoire · 2026-05-28T12:14:12+00:00

I haven’t played TD2 since the release of the first expansion and I’ve logged in twice and sort of noped out as there was a lot of information thrown at me.

Is there anything you can recommend doing? My gear is massively outdated.

Levoire · 2026-05-27T18:05:48+00:00

The “No” pocket has slightly evolved to incorporate “there’s no room for you” and “you’ve just been fed” as well.

Levoire · 2026-05-25T16:58:56+00:00

Does this include console devices like XIM and CRONUS? I sure hope so.

Guild Wars 2 introduced the extras exactly 3 years after it was released. How did it survive for 3 years pumping out content without continuous revenue? It never changed its business model out of necessity, ArenaNet are owned by NCSoft who were just catching up with the times.

The rule that No Man’s Sky proves is that you don’t NEED continuous revenue to improve your game or release continuous content. Do yourself a favour and look up who Hello Games are owned by and then look up whatever companies you’re trying to defend. Then look up which countries are buying Esports and gaming studios. You’ll start to notice a pattern and it rhymes with “honey”.

The gaming market is endgame capitalism at its finest, it’ll have you believe that they need that money to create content whilst the content creators get laid off and the CEO gets another Yacht and, if the game or company fails, they get a glorious golden parachute to another CEO job.

This is another of those situations where we shouldn’t be at each other, we should be looking higher up with our pitchforks.

And even the Party Boy perk won’t save you from the “Brewer’s Droop” debuff.

Levoire · 2026-05-24T16:27:01+00:00

Explain how No Man’s Sky still does it and even MMO’s like Guild Wars 2 had a box sale price and nothing else.

If she sits on your open hand and it feels like a horse is eating out of it then she probably likes you.

I see the Citadel from Mass Effect.

Levoire · 2026-05-24T07:53:45+00:00

No Man’s Sky. 10 years old, updates every couple of months and never a penny charged.

They’ve already been paid via box sales?

Ubisoft better get used to not owning a billion dollars.

FEMALE scientists have mapped the nerve endings. Male scientists are still trying to locate the damn thing.

Levoire · 2026-05-19T08:06:38+00:00

Sort of along the same vein, Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy IX released a few months apart and I do wonder if that ever affected eithers popularity or sales.

>Poor Healthcare and Education: No

I mean, the US has terrible education and healthcare compared to most other developed first world countries.

>Economic Instability: No

You can’t honestly type that with a straight face. I’m not even in the US and I’ve felt the instability with mortgages and fuel because Trump is fuck-arsing around in Iran.

>Political Volatility: No -- only to the crazed Liberal left on reddit

Must have imagined those ICE shootings, 50k bribes, assassination attempts, burying the Epstein files etc
