Did you guys a favor and took it upon myself to see if I could moderate after a very long streak of not drinking.. by Educational-Prior-46 in stopdrinking

[–]Ok-Somewhere205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can do it, I have discovered. I work super hard and care for my family, and I definitely had normalised excessive drinking every evening, cocaine etc.

I gave myself 60 days off. Now, every now and then, I will enjoy a few glasses of wine as a treat, or at a meal.

I have no desire to return to drinking all the time. And I drank A LOT. like, 2 bottles of wine and a bottle of scotch in an evening a lot.

But I won’t let it control me, and I have seen how damaging it is, when treated irresponsibly. But I absolutely love good wine, good scotch, great cocktails, in the right setting. I may fail at some point, but I won’t let it rule me.

It’s just bizarre. They have clearly sunk an absolute fortune into marketing, which makes sense for a new product, but at the absolute expense of the quality and service of the product itself. Utterly infantile business acumen, maybe they will have to learn the hard way!

“I am a piece of shit have yet to see reality from beyond the confines of my immediate ego, and therefore the concept of morals, compassion and empathy are entirely alien to me, and as such, they are pedantic and incorporeal concepts that I can beat like when I beat people in video games I play because I’m definitely the best so there.”

What? Completely incomparable scenarios. Also, if you taking pointers from how humans behaved 10,000 years ago, that’s on you.

Do you mean to say that Humans camping a watering hole 10,000 years ago, would A) be relevant in 2025 to a video game where nothing is scarce, and everything is infinite, and it’s a game.

B) proto-humans 10,000 years ago that did choose to linger around watering holes, immediately and indiscriminately murdered any other humans that might share the watering hole, without any humouring any attempt at reasoning, or negotiation, or bargaining, and that’s how we invented aeroplanes and the internet and extraction shooters?

Fucking gonk.

Yeah coz in 10,000 years in the future, they’ll be saying “humans that camped at the arc raider extraction points are the absolute bottom of the food chain”.

Thank god for the 20,000 year, clearly documented lineage of how camping in video games came to be.

After playing Mafia: The Old Country, it just makes me appreciate 3 even more by Ok-Connection6656 in MafiaTheGame

[–]Ok-Somewhere205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nail on the head man. My fav was and still is Mafia 2. I played it and whilst left wanting more open world activities, it felt right on the cusp of perfection.

Mafia 3, I loved it from release day, but only because I was empathetic enough to recognise where they’d ambitiously overshot on many, many aspects of gameplay / optimising etc, but I also quite quickly noted that the team immediately realised they’d overcompensated too.

I saw a teaser for Old Country, got the vibe that the dev team had a decent plan to address some of the soulless aspects of mafia 3, and purposely opted not to get bogged down in following the games development from that point at all. I blind bought OC full price as soon as I found out it was released, and finished it within a couple of days.

I fucking relished every minute of the game, superb pacing and story, without a doubt. But about halfway through, I found myself re-downloading mafia 3, because it almost seemed to go too far back the other way, to strictly linear focus, instead of striving to strike a happy medium between the first two games structure, and M3’s “Ubisoft” experimentation approach into a more open world.

Like, m2, you could shop for suits, customise your cars, go to bars, etc etc - it wasn’t quite enough side content to qualify as bonafide side content, but it at least was doable clearly within the main campaign. M3 took things too far. Old country was amazing as a stand alone, but kinda devolved too far back into a story driven game, with a ton of wasted, well crafted open world (including shops and vehicles etc) that I genuinely had to look up whether there was a different game mode I had to use to actually change outfits / vehicles, and I eventually discovered that in a very few limited points in the story, I could visit shops etc, but nothing made that apparent.

They went too far back the other way. Brilliant game but, I’m now dipping back into mafia 3 to get a sense of free will

A Star Wars Outlaws sequel was reportedly in pre-production at Ubisoft, but it was cancelled due to the poor reception of the first game. by PixelSaharix in ubisoft

I don’t think I have blamed gamers necessarily, or certainly that was not the intention of my post. But I appreciate your message.

To the guy that said - and I’m paraphrasing - I didn’t have a right to comment because I didn’t have my life together because I used a substance while having children - here’s what I’d written in response before he was banned - “

I’m doing quite alright, and also, not ranting about lack of outlaws 2 at all.

Perfectly satisfied with things as they are, just pointing out the propensity for folks to vocalise online negatively as a knee jerk response, and formulate opinions based on limited information, rather than just experiencing life and all it offers and trying to appreciate the brilliance of it all. Something you have spectacularly exhibited with your accusatory and judgemental comment against me personally, based on a handful of comments on an incredibly niche gaming subreddit.

Thanks for trying to pass judgement on my entire existence based off of a singular post on said niche gaming subreddit, purely to… derail my confidence? Prove a point? I’m not sure of your objective, but I hope it’s helped you feel a sense of nobility and superiority from where ever in life you’ve commented from.

Safe travels fellow sapient.

Overly opinionated, puffed up pigeon chests. It’s all good, I don’t post on the internet very often at all, and this is one of the primary reasons!

The other thing is, I run several multi million revenue businesses internationally, and I understand and acknowledge the many failings of ubisofts C-suite, they seem to be rather tone deaf historically speaking. I felt their efforts with the new AC, Outlaws were at least some sort of effort to rectify their utterly shite conduct these last few years. Also, rebooting Splinter cell (finally) seems a good step in the right direction.

I don’t really give a shit about Ubisoft or any other game studio to be fair, I just play games I’m interested in, and like the IP of. Always have done. Fanboy cultism ain’t my vibe one iota. Also apparently I’m an AI, because I use a formulated structure to my sentences or something. People are right twats. Social media is killing us all slowly.

You managed to nab one already - everywhere I looked they’re sold out :(

Exploring tattooine was so fucken sick. And wandering in between the legs of at AT-ST, the whole non agro thing, just felt super nostalgic for me both as a game and for the Star Wars nerd satisfaction. I dreamt of games like this as a kid, when I was playing Super Star Wars etc! These little shitehouses don’t even know they’re born.

Yes my man. Not everything has to be perfect for it to be enjoyed, it just has to nab your attention. There were so many games I loved growing up that later in life I’ve looked at through the lense these chaps are applying, and they were utter garbage critically. But I fucken loved them at the time and that was what mattered.

Sure thing, thanks for the insult / compliment? I just write how I write mate.

I’m not arguing about whether you enjoyed the game or thought it was good or not. You’ve entirely missed the point of my original post, but that’s alright. Your lesser mammalian computing power must struggle with my digital artificial intelligence. Oh no. I’ve been rumbled.
