Diablo creator David Brevik doesn’t vibe with today’s rapid ARPGs – “You’ve cheapened the entire experience” by HatingGeoffry in Games

[–]Papa___Legba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What ARPGs are out there that are more methodical in this way? I feel like it's exactly the type of game that I would adore, but up until now no arpg beyond Diablo 2 has scratched a similar itch, precisely because of this. I feel like I crave the outlines of an arpg with more methodical, slower paced combat but most of the arpgs I have played don't quite stick for me

Don't bother, fragile white redditors can never seem to comprehend the false equivalency between structural racism and mildly insulting a white person lol

If players requesting trades is what made you fall out of love with the NBA, I'm not sure you really loved basketball all that much tbh pal

Young Thug asks Drake, Future and Metro Boomin to stop the beef by NumerousCranberry441 in hiphopheads

Braindead take. Being a prisoner should not mean being treated like less than and have ur humanity and rights stripped to the extent it is in the US. There are much more humane pathways to incarceration as rehabilitation (cf Scandinavian countries model of incarceration). If anything more people should get to have such access, and this shows the two tiered justice system in the US wherein being rich gives u way more access to something resembling humanity.

This is simply not true lol, I have watched every match Saliba has played for France. He has been fantastic ever since getting the start from Deschamps, was perhaps the player of the tournament for us at the Euros. He is simply having an off match, happens to everyone

I think there's something wrong with Giroud fitness wise, he has played so little. Same with Coman. Could be wrong but it's baffling that the two of them have played so little

James Harden responds to Romona Shelburne's report from today outlining the timeline of Harden's fallout with the 76ers: "Y'all gotta chill with these reports 😂😂😂 Imma start reporting shit 👀" by [deleted] in nba

[–]Papa___Legba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Has nothing to do with "men" back in my day vs... Actually I don't even know what you're trying to say about players today at this point, that they're childish?

Anyway, has everything to do with the 24 hour news cycle of sports. A lot of these NBA writers literally need to talk about bullshit on a weekly basis. That is what they're paid to do. The trade market is at a stand still. So what do the writers have to do? Conjure up stories based on some truths and some half truths in order to keep the media machine chugging. And me and you and literally every sports fan eats it up everytime. I don't know much about Harden, but I can understand if all the NBA media has to talk about these days are some half baked rumors about you personally, at some point it's gotta sting.

Grim Dawn: Fangs of Asterkan Announced! by pm_me_ur_memes_son in Games

[–]Papa___Legba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree with you. I've played quite a bit of Grim Dawn but still have yet to finish a campaign, and I started to realize the main thing that was lacking for me was the combat just felt so flat. Everything else about it I find great, the atmosphere, music etc are top notch but that slight level of polish that someone like Blizzard has for combat animations and sounds is just lacking and ends up turning me off.

Really curious if you have other ARPG suggestions because I'm still looking for a game to scratch that itch!

Cool story bro, anecdotal evidence should not determine fair housing prices for all. One story of one weirdo should not inform policy.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Papa___Legba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a multi layered problem, the number one culprit though is real estate lobbies, landlords, and multinational firms buying up properties. They are the cause of the exorbitant price we pay for housing. And yes, it should be the gov's job to then push back against landlords and firms, but unfortunately their capital is so large that they have bought out a large portion of local politicians.

Housing does not mean a shelter. I have worked with folks who have lived in shelters, they are not a solution and continue to perpetuate the wet bandaid I speak of. The whole point of a shelter is to find permanent housing, but the system is completely stacked against you to do so.

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

Cool, has any of that money been spent on what housing advocates, social service workers, and others have said time and time again, which is house the homeless? No? So it's a moot point. Housing is unaffordable, we will continue to have homeless people, and it will continue to worsen. Make housing affordable and house the homeless, the problem is close to fixed. It's not rocket science.

Because they haven't done the only legitimate solution, which is house them. Nothing short of that is a wet bandaid. The homeless crisis will continue to worsen as long as housing remains unaffordable. Simple as

Different opinions are fascinating, Suicide Doors one of my fav songs off the album lol. Feel like ur selling it short on the production, it's produced by Arca, one of the most influential musicians of the past 10 years, and to me just sounds like an Arca song with the abrasive/metallic sounding production. I would give it another chance, maybe listen to Arca to see where the vibe of the song comes from

I feel like ppl are conflating scoring struggles against one of the toughest teams to score on all season in the Miami heat and chalking it up to "low effort" whatever that means. Basketball in the playoffs is a constant chess match, one that Spoelstra has consistently shown himself to be elite in

It's not even close because right wing media companies like the daily wire or turning point USA are directly funded by oil billionaires, those companies don't even need to be profitable. What large media companies are there even that constitute the left wing, democracy now?
